Princess Wei was seven months pregnant with her child. She was lying on a chair and fell asleep.
Two maids stood aside to take care of him and bowed when they saw King Wei coming back.
"Well, you don't need to be polite." Li Tai said as he entered the room, took off his heavy coat, and felt warm when he saw the food on the table.
Princess Wei opened her eyes slightly and saw that King Wei was back. She quickly stood up and said, "The food is cold. I will let someone heat it up."
"No need, just deal with two mouths." Li Tai sat down and picked up the food and started eating.
"His Royal Highness, King Wei, was like this before."
Hearing his wife's complaining words, Li Tai took her hand and sat down, "I won't be so busy anymore."
"Is everything done?"
"Well, there won't be so many things this year."
After eating, Li Tai took care of the princess to sleep, and he also got some solid sleep.
The next day, there were still many people coming to sign up in front of Lishan Technical College. Li Tai simply built a small house at the entrance of the village.
It is used to deal with the villagers who come to register and let them make records first.
Once the Lishan Institute of Technology began to have an effect in Chang'an City, from the very beginning, the students of this academy did not enter official careers and became unpopular.
When the first batch of students went out this year, the skills they learned immediately spread among the counties in Guanzhong.
As a result, more and more people came and asked about it.
After it turns out that studying is not for becoming an official, more people want to study.
Li Tai looked at this grand occasion with a clear mind, and felt more and more that he was not far away from getting rich.
There was endless discussion in the court because of this matter. The emperor was killing aristocratic families, and Lishan's attitude was that he didn't want to become a aristocratic family.
Lishan has never engaged in land annexation.
A powerful person who does not engage in land, but only participates in business affairs.
Lishan is rich, but looking at the wealthy families in Guanzhong, Lishan is too sensible.
He is so sensible that no one can catch him.
In the eyes of the clan's powerful people, if you become a powerful person and do not fight for land, it is no different than a prodigal.
Li Chengqian listened to Hegan Chengji's story and sighed: "Since we have lost him, that's it. Nanzhao is in the hands of Zhang Yang, so this person is not important."
Hegan Chengji responded and stepped aside.
Zhao Jie added: "Your Royal Highness, Lishan Mountain has been very lively recently, and many villagers have come to compete for places to learn arts."
Li Chengqian nodded and said: "It's not bad, I want to see it."
Hearing this, Zhao Jie felt happy and said: "I'll go and prepare the car right now."
After that, he hurriedly walked out of the East Palace. Although the East Palace was not big, there was still a lot going on.
Li Anyan was standing guard outside the East Palace and asked in a low voice: "What did He Qian Chengji and His Highness say?"
Zhao Jie laughed and said, "That treacherous man said he lost track of me."
Li Anyan smiled contemptuously, "Where did he get his ability? He didn't ask the young minister of Dali Temple for help and found a few bad people. He thought it was that easy."
"Get ready to drive, Your Highness is going to Lishan Mountain."
Zhao Jie and Li Anyan are old people in the East Palace, and they were still good friends when Zhang Yang was in the East Palace.
Both of them looked down on He Qian Chengji, who had only been in the East Palace for a year or two, and he was dominating here with the prince's approval.
The East Palace carriage slowly drove out from the east side of the palace. Li Chengqian was sitting on the carriage and was reading Cen Wenwen's official academic report.
In Lishan, Xiao Qingqing was riding a bear and playing sepak takraw with her uncle King Wei.
The carriage arrived and Li Chengqian got out of the carriage.
Xiao Qingqing frowned and saluted, "I've met the prince uncle."
Li Chengqian walked forward and looked at you: "You have grown so tall."
Xiao Qingqing said with a smile: "I will grow taller."
First he glanced at Li Tai and then said: "Qingque, long time no see."
Li Tai held a sepak takraw ball in his hand and said, "Your Highness, what do you mean by coming to Lishan?"
The atmosphere between the two brothers was not very good when they met, and even Xiao Qingqing felt it.
Li Chengqian nodded and said, "Where is your father?"
"Daddy and Uncle Shangguan are discussing. Let's go call daddy." Realizing that the atmosphere was not right, Xiao Qingqing patted Xiong Da's forehead and whispered: "Go find daddy."
Xiong Da ran back to the village with his little master.
Li Tai smiled and said: "This child is very smart, and her teachers are also the best."
Li Chengqian added: "She is the disciple of the Queen Mother, so naturally she will be outstanding."
"I heard that many people want to come to Lishan to learn art?"
"Brother, did you just know the news now?"
Li Chengqian turned away from looking at him, and nodded: "I knew about it yesterday, and I only have time to come and take a look today. Recently, I have been involved in many complicated things in the court, and I am not as free as you."
"The affairs in the court are still handled by the ministers. Brother Huang cares about everything, but he can't even manage Chongde Square. Lishan heard that Chongde Square has become more and more lively in recent days, but the money entering the market is getting less and less.
.”
These words made Li Chengqian speechless for a moment. As he said, Chongde Square looked lively. With the establishment of the imperial examination, more and more people came to and from Chongde Square. However, such a lively scene could not bring peace to the DPRK.
Bring in too much revenue.
And Lishan is a place where you can make money.
There is a way to make wealth here. Gaoling and Lantian counties made a lot of money following Lishan, which not only made the villagers in Guanzhong jealous, but also attracted the attention of the Central Government.
While the two brothers were talking, Zhang Yang came over in a hurry and said, "Your Highness."
Li Chengqian nodded and said, "Zhang Yang, you and I may not have seen each other for a long time."
Zhang Yang said with a smile: "I have indeed become estranged recently. His Majesty is not in Chang'an City in the winter. The prince has to preside over many affairs in the court, and it is not easy for the prince."
These words are like a spring breeze, which makes me feel more comfortable.
Li Tai threw the sepak takraw ball to the children not far away. They got the sepak takraw ball and ran away happily. He turned around and said: "The Chongde Fang, which was built by the emperor brother, has encountered some difficulties recently. I hope my brother-in-law can solve the problem."
This was not the original intention of coming to Lishan, so Li Chengqian opened his mouth to explain.
Zhang Yang said with a smile: "It is not difficult to solve the problem of Chongde Square. Chongde Square only has pen and ink, or tea, but people have the necessities of life, including food, clothing, housing and transportation. Chongde Square has no food, and they leave
Wouldn’t it be troublesome to cross one street and go to the other side to eat?”
"Set up training lectures and let the six ministers of the DPRK and Central Government give lectures in Chongdefang for a fee. In this way, the students and tourists wandering around Chongdefang will benefit and will rush to sign up. I would like to suggest that His Royal Highness the Prince should not set the price too high.
Gao, five yuan per person per class is enough."
Li Chengqian smiled in relief and said: "Every time I listen to you speak, I am always enlightened."
"His Royal Highness is joking. It would be better if His Highness could allow Lishan to open a property in Chongdefang."
"I am willing to listen to advice."
Zhang Yang waved his hand and said: "It's not about advice, it's all for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. Lishan naturally has to contribute, so it's okay not to mention these."
Li Chengqian cupped his hands and said: "I came here to see the technical college in Lishan. I heard that there are many villagers here to learn skills. Lishan blocked so many people from the door, and there was a lot of criticism from the DPRK."
.”
"Of course there are criticisms, but the number of places to learn arts is limited, and Lishan can only accommodate a limited number of people."
Li Chengqian followed the footsteps to Lishan Technical College and asked: "I heard that those who studied arts from Lishan are fighting for it from all sides in Guanzhong. This time they can get a lot of wages, so they can prepare for those who will learn arts in the future."
If there are more, these people’s wages will be less?”
"What His Royal Highness the Prince said is true, but things are not just like this. Where there is demand, there will be supply. As long as this demand continues to exist, wages will not come down. Of course, the competition between various workshops for students from Lishan is different from that of Lishan."
The mountain has nothing to do with it, Lishan is only responsible for teaching people how to make a living."
Li Chengqian looked at Lishan Technical College in the distance. There was a long queue here, which was waiting in front of a small house next to Lishan Technical College.
"Gu Xiang doesn't understand why you teach people to learn arts. The purpose of aristocratic families is to train scholars so that they can become mouthpieces of the aristocratic family after they enter the court. However, the disciples taught by Lishan do not become officials, but instead become
craftsmen and cooks.”
Zhang Yang nodded and said: "Employment is a very important thing, we cannot ignore it."
Li Chengqian stammered for a long time, then remained silent again, and said helplessly: "I am alone..."
"It doesn't matter. From a development perspective, what His Royal Highness saw is different from what I saw. I will slowly understand it later, but it doesn't matter now."
It was a small courtyard, where the master taught skills related to making a living.
The students who have been taught can make a living outside and get wages, but Lishan will not get any benefits in the future.
Let Li Chengqian wander around the village by himself.
Zhang Yang returned to the mountain.
At home, Li Yue, Xiao Wu, Xiao Hui, and Li Lizhi were still busy in the library.
Next to Huaqing Pool, Zhang Yang sat alone at the dining table, looked around and asked: "Where are those little heartless people?"
Aunt Wang walked to the library with the food and said, "The princesses and princes went to see the Emperor. They said they wanted to go to Mr. Ouyang Xun to learn calligraphy. Aunt Yang was watching them."
After that, Aunt Wang walked into the library with the food. It seemed that the wife and the others were going to have dinner in the library, and they were so busy that they even had to take the time to eat.
Zhang Yang looked at his son, carefully climbed onto his stool, and then reached out to grab the spoon, not knowing how to use it.
Not long after, Aunt Wang picked him up and took the young prince to the other side to have dinner.
He was the only one left at the dinner table. Zhang Yang held the rice bowl and looked at the dishes, soup and a salted duck egg in front of him.
It’s been a long time since I’ve had a meal alone, and I don’t know the last time I had a meal alone.
I was the only one at the dinner table, so I felt uncomfortable eating like this.
The rice was the newly harvested rice last year. The rice was very fragrant. Zhang Yang dug out the salted duck eggs to accompany the rice, picked up the vegetables and ate it.
He picked up the soup bowl and drank the soup, then let out a sigh of relief.
Walking into the library, the place is covered with papers and charts are hung on the walls.
After finishing the meal, the bowls and chopsticks were put aside.
It is necessary to integrate Lishan's human resources and then reallocate them.
They will be very busy in the following days.
Zhang Yang silently picked up the empty bowls and chopsticks and left.
When I walked out of the library, I saw Aunt Wang talking to Xiao An, teaching her very patiently.
After washing the dishes and chopsticks, Zhang Yang lit the stove, put a kettle on, and poured three cups of hot tea.
The tea was brought into the library, and a kettle was placed on the stove and burned above.
The four of them were still busy and didn't seem to notice that they were there. They saw Li Lizhi pick up the tea cup and take a sip of hot tea.
Zhang Yang nodded, found a book from the library in the library, and then sat at the door of the library, squinting at the sun and reading the book.
They can hand it over at any time if they need anything.
Time passed very slowly, Zhang Yang looked at the contents of the book. This volume was a collection of books that came with the inheritance of Fan Yang's Lu family.
What is recorded in the book is Huang-Lao's school, also known as Huang-Lao's theory. In ancient times, Huang-Lao's school advocated Yang and Chonggang, and it was a widely spread trend of thought during the Warring States Period.
Huang-Lao's theory advocated the importance of tranquility and the people's self-determination, and advocated that the monarch should govern the country by doing nothing and just master the political essentials.
At that time, Xiao He, Chen Ping and others also highly praised Huang Lao's learning.
However, with the changes of the times, Huang-Lao's studies have become a pursuit of spiritual sustenance and personal cultivation.
It is no longer applicable to the current political situation, but has become the pursuit of some people's life style.
It would also be true if we say that Huang-Lao theory is only used for cultivating one's moral character.
The library was very quiet, with occasional whispers.
The sunshine is very warm, the sky is clear with no clouds visible, and the world is so quiet that you can't even hear the wind.
Zhang Yang finished reading the book and walked into the library again. The kettle on the stove was much lighter.
After adding water to them again, I remembered that I still had the precious southern cakes given by the palace at home, so I took them out and put them in my daughter-in-law's hand.
Then I took out a volume from the bookshelf. This volume is called "Daoyuan" and it is a very important chapter in Huang Lao's theory.
Continue to sit at the door of the library and read quietly.
After another hour, the younger brothers and sisters came back, and the house became noisy again.
Zhang Yang turned around and looked into the library. Xiao Wu was holding Li Yue's shoulders, and Xiao Hui was holding Xiao Wu's shoulders.
The four of them pressed each other's backs to relax, and it seemed that their work had come to an end.
Until they all lay down, closed their eyes and relaxed.
This kind of work is very harmful to their eyes, and there are many civil servants in the court who are seriously short-sighted.
If you want glass with sufficient light transmittance, you need to improve its texture and firing ingredients.
Nowadays, the fired glass is very white, let alone the light transmittance. When made into glasses, it is like the eyes are covered with a layer of white mist.
I can only see the silhouette of the person, let alone the words clearly.
Zhang Yang looked at the Dao original scroll of Huang Lao's theory in his hand, hoping that these would no longer work, and he would still have to rely on himself.
In early spring, there is a big temperature difference between day and night in Guanzhong. Although Lishan Technical College has no places, there are still many people coming here to inquire.
Li Tai has rarely been involved in matters related to the design and modification of equipment recently. He arranged for people to expand Lishan Technical College and then left it alone.
His Royal Highness the King of Wei has also begun to enter retirement life.
He didn't make any progress in teaching him electromagnetic related knowledge.
The road has to be walked step by step. It is not easy for Lishan to achieve the current results. Just manufacturing the steam engine in the first place was enough to drive all the technical backbones of Lishan crazy.
Now it has entered a period of precipitation again, and various theories need to be supplemented.
The technical knowledge obtained needs to be precipitated, digested, crushed, applied and then transformed into productivity.
