The young minister of Taifu Temple also held a large official position, but he did not come to perform his duties. Wei Zheng raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, there are few people in the court who are as diligent and down-to-earth as Shangguan Yi."
Hearing these words, Li Shimin became more and more entangled. Just placing such a person in Taifu Temple would be overqualified, but what position in the court would be suitable for him?
Recently, His Majesty often talks to Duke Zheng, and his secretary Lang Chu Suiliang is recording the conversation. He talks about Mount Li, Shangguan Yi, and Taifu Temple.
His Majesty is diligent in political affairs and has given great confidence to many officials in the court.
Due to the flood season of the Yellow River, the imperial examination was postponed. In Chongde Square, some officials posted a notice that the imperial examination date was set on the 26th of late September in autumn.
For a time, Chongde Square was full of people again. Today, a group of soldiers passed by Chongde Square.
The soldiers bumped into passers-by rudely, causing the literati here to angrily curse them.
These soldiers took an urgent report and sent it to Zhuque Gate. The urgent report was quickly sent from Zhuque Gate to the Imperial City, and then sent to Zhongshu Province by the officials of the Imperial City.
The next morning, in the Tai Chi Hall, Xu Jingzong frowned when he heard Ma Zhou's words.
"Your Majesty! I think that there is some discussion about the hanging of King Uiji of Baekje, so we should send another envoy to investigate."
Li Yifu stood up and said to the class: "The suicide of King Uiji of Baekje is a matter of applause and applause for the people of Baekje."
Ma Zhou said again: "It's all the words of your family, the Ministry of Rites."
Hearing this, Li Yifu was not willing to be outdone and said, "Why don't you go to Baekje in person and see the people of Baekje?"
Ma Zhou kept a straight face and remained silent.
Li Yifu bowed and said: "Your Majesty, as an envoy in Goguryeo, I witnessed tens of thousands of Baekje people fleeing to Goguryeo in search of a safe place to live. King Yiji of Baekje should be eaten alive. Now,
It would be kind to him to hang himself!"
The civil servants faction started quarreling again, but the general faction was happy to sit back and watch, waiting for the day when troops would be sent out.
Everyone in the court had their own thoughts. As for Wen Ting, who killed people in Baekje, he was not an official in the court.
Everyone had different thoughts and whispered among themselves.
While they were talking, Xu Xiaode, the admonishing doctor at the Yushitai, had not spoken these days. This time he stood up and held a memorial and said loudly: "Your Majesty also asks for a thorough investigation of Fan Yang's Lu family."
Li Shimin suddenly became energetic and said loudly: "Send the memorial."
"Here."
Xu Xiaode handed the memorial to the approaching eunuch and said: "Your Majesty, a sergeant of the Lu clan in Fanyang beat to death a scholar who was seeking justice in the street, and the local county magistrate covered up his crime. Under such circumstances, such an act was carried out.
, appalling.”
This remark once again aroused controversy in the DPRK.
In other words, Xu Xiaode's words seemed to be saying that the family should be taken care of, since the Zhenguan Dynasty lasted for twelve years.
Li Yifu also hated the children of the aristocratic family, although he had no good impressions of these people from Zhongshu Sheng and Yushitai.
Seeing that Xu Xiaode was able to stand up and expose the crimes of the children of the aristocratic family, Li Yifu thought that for the sake of this incident, he could give in to Yushitai on the Baekje matter.
The morning session ended at noon. In the afternoon at the Longwu Army camp in Lishan, Li Jing watched as more than ten artillery pieces were taken away, along with a cart full of gunpowder packets.
Li Jing asked: "Where will your Majesty send these artillery pieces?"
Li Junxian replied: "Back to the general, I will send these artillery pieces to Fan Yang."
Since Li Junxian was watching in person, Li Jing could rest assured, but there was still a bit of disappointment in his eyes and he sighed.
"Why does the general sigh?"
Li Jing waved his hand and said: "You go ahead, don't delay important things."
Li Junxian bowed and saluted, then got on his horse and left with his troops.
The general was upset, knowing that Zhang Yang would plant trees at the southern foot of Lishan Mountain today, and left the camp to walk towards the southern foot.
Zhang Yang dug a hole with a hoe and planted a sapling.
Li Yue cooperated and backfilled the soil.
"You two really complement each other."
Hearing the words, Zhang Yang raised his eyes and said with a smile: "General, why do you have the leisure to come here today? Are you here to relax?"
Li Jing stood leaning against the tree with his hands in his sleeves.
There is a very relaxing feeling when talking to Zhang Yang, he is always able to talk about things easily.
A lot of stress and worries disappeared when I spoke. This person has a kind of affinity, he is very easy-going, and it is easy to make friends with him.
A person like this should have many friends, but I heard that Zhang Yang's only friends were Wei Wang Li Tai and the little bastards from the old Cheng family.
Hearing this, Li Jing explained: "Don't be surprised. There are many soldiers patrolling around Lishan Mountain. You come here to plant trees every three days."
Li Yue bowed and saluted, "I have met the general."
She took her daughter back first.
Zhang Yang patted the mud off his hands, sat down and took a sip of tea, and said calmly: "I know all these things. The two aunts at home were born in the army. In fact, I also know every move of the Longwu Army in Lishan.
It’s all clear.”
Li Jing smiled when he heard this. He came over and sat down aside, "I thought you would mind this kind of thing."
Zhang Yang added: "Lishan is not strong enough now, so many things have to be arranged by Your Majesty. If Lishan becomes the capital of the Tang Dynasty in the future, it will not be like this."
"Let Lishan become the foundation of the country? Hmm...a rare idea."
Zhang Yang smiled and said: "I just said it casually, General, don't mind."
"You think your family fortune is not enough? But you are already very rich."
Zhang Yang put down his tea cup and said: "I have been serving as the Minister of Taifu Temple for two years. Cen Wenwen also sent various taxes from various places in Guanzhong."
Li Jing nodded, "Yeah."
The mountain breeze blows and I listen to the rustling of the trees in the forest.
Zhang Yang smiled and said: "Actually, Cen Wenwen shouldn't have given these files to me. The tax accounts of various places in Guanzhong are very important. Those numbers are of great use to me. I can know how many wealthy households there are in Guanzhong through taxation.
You can know the governance situation in Guanzhong."
"After getting these files, I have no intention of returning them to them. I plan to teach the court a lesson and let them know the importance of these files. In the future, they should not easily give the tax numbers to others. These should be treated as confidential.
yes."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "For example, when a general leads an army, how much food and grass the army has cannot be easily known to outsiders, right or wrong?"
"Well, you are right."
Zhang Yang leaned against the tree trunk behind him and sat upright with his legs crossed.
Long Wujun knew what was going on in Lishan, and Zhang Yang also knew Long Wujun's every move.
In this way, Lishan and Longwujun can get along calmly without disturbing each other.
Li Jing also sat down and imitated Zhang Yang's example, feeling that his whole body was really relaxed.
After living in Chang'an for so many years without seeing any visitors, Li Jing found that he felt particularly relaxed after coming to Lishan.
"I like this place very much."
Zhang Yang picked up the straw hat on the side and put it on himself, blocking some sunlight with the brim of the hat. "The general has made outstanding contributions and has been locking himself up in Chang'an City. But the general doesn't know that people are social animals. If they don't communicate with each other for a long time, they will breed.
All kinds of mental illness.”
"Oh... By the way, it should be called heart disease. There was no such thing as mental illness in the Tang Dynasty. Heart disease is more popular."
In Chang'an City, Li Jing felt that his nerves had been tense all the time, and it was only now that he completely relaxed, "How about we call ourselves uncle and nephew from now on?"
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Then should my daughter call you Grandpa Medicine Master from now on?"
Li Jing smiled heartily and said: "It doesn't matter, I'm not a stickler for these things."
The general finally smiled. Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Well, that's how people should be. They should laugh loudly and shout loudly."
Pointing to the fields in the distance, he added: "The general is shouting over there. The louder the shout, the better."
"Do you want to shout something?"
Li Jing suddenly asked.
"No, just shout. Try your best to shout out all the unhappiness and annoyance in your heart."
Li Jing stood up, took a deep breath, and shouted loudly. The shout echoed in the mountains and forests, alarming many small animals in the forest.
Zhang Yang said: "I feel a lot more relaxed now."
"Not bad!" Li Jing nodded with satisfaction, "This is how you should be happy in life."
Seeing Zhang Yang getting up to leave, Li Jing asked: "Your Majesty asked Li Junxian to take the artillery to Hebei."
Zhang Yang waved his hands and said: "It doesn't matter anymore."
Li Jing was stunned on the spot and suddenly felt relieved, yes! It doesn't matter, the world has been peaceful.
Having used firearms in Lishan Mountain, Li Jing is well aware of the power of such weapons. If His Majesty uses such weapons for external use, there will be no burden at all.
If His Majesty uses the artillery inside, Li Jing will feel a little uncomfortable.
The Tang Dynasty is no longer what it used to be, and there are no longer wars in the Central Plains.
Li Jing looked at his back and said, "I will come to talk to you more often in the future!"
"Okay, remember to bring wine and meat."
There was peace in his heart that he had never felt before. After two or three sentences, Li Jing felt as if he had returned to the way he felt when he was a ranger. This feeling had not been felt for many years.
The outside world has many opinions about Zhang Yang, saying that he is a monster and an unscrupulous person.
Now when I talk to him, I know that he is a magnanimous person.
So what if Long Wujun stared at Lishan's every move? Lishan was also aware of Longwujun's every move.
Li Jing walked out of the haze in his heart and felt happier than ever before.
After the summer harvest in Guanzhong, the most important thing was the imperial examination in September.
These days, Zhang Yang has been at home with his wife, Xiao Wu, and Xiao Hui, calculating taxes in various places in Guanzhong.
Zhang Yang did not intend to return these to the court, but continued to study. These data were the wealth distribution of the Tang Dynasty, which would be beneficial to Lishan's future industrial expansion.
In his spare time, Zhang Yang would also play cards with Li Xiaogong and Li Tai.
Li Lizhi and Li Zhi, as well as Gao Yang and Dongyang, will also go to Guozi to monitor the lectures.
On this day, the Master did not come to give lectures. Li Zhi talked about science with many students in the Imperial College. He told many students about the principles of light propagation and air pressure.
The word science officially planted a seed in the hearts of the students of Tang Dynasty.
Someone recorded this lecture given by King Li Zhi of Jin Dynasty, and it soon spread throughout the government and the public.
This article on science was written by Zhang Yang of Lishan, and for the first time people came into contact with knowledge they had never seen before.
Some members of the gentry clan angrily cursed this knowledge, and some members of the gentry clan suspected that there were some ancient books related to it.
Princess Dongyang and Princess Qinghe can compete with adult students on math problems.
Many students who were good at mathematics in the Imperial College were scratching their heads because they couldn't calculate the angle of light.
For Dongyang and Qinghe, two girls who are only fourteen years old, they have already mastered some knowledge of trigonometric functions.
Out of respect for the Master, they revealed the secret of trigonometric functions.
This also alarmed Taoist priests Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang, who had been in seclusion in Qintian Prison for a long time.
Yuan Tiangang had a semicircle with an arc in his hand. He held up the incomplete semicircle and said, "This is what the land of Guanzhong looks like, and this is what the world looks like."
As soon as these words came out, there was a lot of discussion in the public.
This conclusion was reached due to a battlefield experiment conducted by Zhang Yang due to the controversy that year.
This experiment informed people that the earth was rotating, and according to controlled experiments in various places, an iron pestle slid to different extents on sand fields in the north and south of the Central Plains, from which it can be concluded that the height of the earth is different.
By measuring the difference between distance and amplitude, Yuan Tiangang concluded that the current result is an arc. The earth is not only round, but also rotates.
This is what Taoist Master Yuan Tiangang has calculated after several years of retreat.
As a result, Taoists started a very fierce debate with Confucianists from various places, so that more and more people went to various places to do this experiment.
When the children from Lishan returned to Chang'an, the knowledge of the princess and princes alarmed many people, and some people waited in front of the Imperial College every day for their arrival, wanting to ask for advice in person.
Gao Yang was very unhappy about this, "Sister Huang, why don't they ask me for advice?"
Li Lizhi chuckled and said, "Normally, you don't study hard either."
"I'm just less talented than Qinghe and Gao Yang. I can learn better with time."
Li Lizhi looked at this sister and nodded.
The children have grown up a lot, and the speed of their academic growth is incredible.
The science article in Li Zhi's lecture only briefly explained the principles of light and air pressure, but it aroused discussion throughout the government and the public.
This handout has also been spread outside Chang'an City, and will spread throughout the Central Plains, as well as the Western Regions and outside the Pass, and even more distant places.
Some people even said that Zhang Yang was able to create Pingshanchuan's firearms because of scientific knowledge.
After Lishan proposed an idea and used it to exert power that people had never seen before, he quickly gained followers.
Li Shimin was very angry when he learned about this, "The traitors are all traitors!"
The prince and the princess couldn't help but smile bitterly. The princes and princesses had achieved results in their studies at Lishan Mountain, but they had also become an annoyance to His Majesty.
Li Shimin said angrily: "They should be locked up in Lishan from now on and never come to Chang'an City again."
After all, he is His Majesty's son, and Queen Changsun beside him could tell that these were angry words.
"Your Majesty, why don't you ground the child and reflect on it carefully?"
Li Shimin nodded slightly, "Let them go to Lishan Mountain. If the trouble continues, the government and the opposition will not stop."
Queen Changsun smiled and nodded.
This group of young ancestors returned to Lishan Mountain, and in September of that year, Tianzhu's envoy arrived in Chang'an City with Tianzhu's urgent report.
