Chapter 852 The Tian family has a lot of things to do
Li Yue added: "Recently, Dongyang and Qinghe returned to the palace and argued with several masters in the Imperial College, which caused the Confucian scholars to come in to impeach the princess for her misconduct."
Zhang Yang sighed: "Let them go back to Lishan to prepare for the next stage of study."
"Um."
It is said that the emperor's family had a lot of things going on. Li Shimin had so many sons and daughters, and all of them were so noisy.
The next morning, three girls from Qinghe, Gaoyang and Dongyang drove to Lishan Mountain.
"They say that Father still allows us to return to Lishan Mountain."
"That master's theory is obviously untenable."
"Yes, you still insist on saying that what we said is nonsense."
…
The three girls got off the carriage and were still chattering.
Zhang Yang stood at the entrance of the village with his hands clasped in his hands and a sad look on his face.
It was obvious that even their father couldn't stand it in Chang'an City and wanted to throw them away to Lishan.
These three girls still seemed very proud of their actions.
Seeing the brother-in-law standing at the entrance of the village, the three of them walked over with their heads lowered, looking well-behaved.
Zhang Yang sighed: "I heard that you contradicted the Master of the Imperial College again?"
Gao Yang whispered: "But what Master said is wrong. He said that Tsunasa benevolence and filial piety override right and wrong."
"So you quarreled with the Master?"
The three girls nodded in unison.
Zhang Yang sighed in frustration, "Okay, you go to the mountain first."
"Here."
They all bowed and saluted, then walked up the mountain with their heads lowered.
Not to mention that it is not easy to be a brother-in-law. There are a large number of younger brothers and sisters, and each one is more troublesome than the last.
Zhang Yang walked to the wine shop outside the village.
The weather has just warmed up, and the wind is still a bit cold.
There were no customers in the wine shop at this time. Cheng Chumo was shirtless and washing the wine jars one by one.
Zhang Yang stood aside and watched for a long time.
Cheng Chumo looked up and saw the person, "Why are you here?"
"Chu Mo, now that the season has changed, you have to pay attention to the cold and warmth."
"It doesn't matter, someone is still sweating right now."
Zhang Yang sat down on the side with his hands folded, frowned and asked: "Has the number of people in the Imperial College increased recently?"
Cheng Chumo picked up a wine jar, which was very large. He grabbed the edges with both hands and stacked the jars together.
After doing this, he put on his coat and asked puzzledly: "Why do you ask these questions?"
Zhang Yang shook his head and said, "It's not easy for me to be a brother-in-law."
"Well, a certain family understands and will make arrangements."
When the matter reached Chu Mo, he could arrange for the Braised Pork Gang to smooth things over. After the collapse of the family, the Braised Pork Gang was also loose. Chu Mo retained part of the backbone, and the others were free.
You can also help with things, or you can not do things.
Compared with bad people, they get along relatively well, at least they can be self-sufficient without having to worry about the government.
Zhang Yang asked again: "How long has it been since you went to Chang'an City?"
Cheng Chu thought for a moment and said, "It's been two years."
"Does your old man still remember having a son like you?"
"I sent a lot of clothing materials here last month." Cheng Chumo scratched the stubble on his chin and said, "A certain family arranged for someone to do something for you."
"Well, I'm done."
The people who were in charge of the crime were still very fast. The master who came to remonstrate and impeach the princess asked himself to teach and left Guanzhong the next day.
Seeing Gao Yang and Qing He looking at them with admiration, Zhang Yang said calmly: "Fortunately, the people you provoked this time are easy to deal with."
"Thank you, brother-in-law."
"I'll pour tea for my brother-in-law."
Seeing their attentive looks, Zhang Yang still whispered: "Even so, you still can't escape the afternoon physical education class."
Several people walked away with drooped faces. Zhang Yang found that these heartless little people didn't even pour the tea.
As the younger siblings get older year by year, there are more and more worries.
Because the emperor wanted to build Qujiang Pond and build a city, Li Shimin's original mortgage of 90,000 guan on Qujiang Pond changed hands and owed Lishan another 400,000 guan.
Qujiang Pool is named Qujiang Pool because of the twists and turns of its water.
During the Han Dynasty, it was part of Shanglin Garden, hence the name Qujiang.
Later, in the Sui Dynasty, the wild and unruly Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty changed the name of Qujiang Pool to Furong Pool.
Water hibiscus?
Perhaps Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty liked to see women in the pool, so he got the name Furong Pool.
In the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan changed the name back and it became Qujiang Pool again.
Zhang Yang did not want Li Shimin to change the name of Qujiang Pool to the former Sui Dynasty name, and did not agree with changing Qujiang Pool to Yichun Garden.
These names always make people think of it, this is obviously a brothel.
Couldn't these emperors be simpler in their names?
After writing the memorial to the emperor, Zhang Yang took the stack of brochures handed over by Aunt Wang and looked at them carefully.
Aunt Wang said from the side: "This is Yan Liben's road construction map album and regulations. It is said that it will be shown to the county prince."
Zhang Yang opened the drawing, and Yan Liben had mastered Lishan's drawing method. He divided the railway plan into three parts.
The first step is measurement, and the second part is construction. Construction is divided into six phases. The six-phase formula compares the construction cost of each section of railway.
The third part is the operation and maintenance of each section of railway.
The regulations are a bit rough, but it's not that they can't be used.
Zhang Yang wrote the word "can" and asked his aunt to send the drawings down the mountain.
My daughter-in-law is currently in a critical period of pregnancy, and she has left many things to her three disciples these days.
The task of teaching my younger siblings falls on me.
Sometimes his daughters would come to listen. Zhang Yang took them to physical education class first. In the afternoon, these children sat by the Huaqing Pool and listened to the story of the Lotus Lantern.
Meaningfully speaking, the lotus lantern represents the most beautiful qualities in the world, which is kindness, filial piety, and sincere feelings.
But the story of the lotus lantern is not so beautiful. The process of Agarwood saving her mother is more like the confrontation between the people at the bottom and the heaven.
The result of the confrontation was nothing more than a reconciliation between the elites headed by Tianting and Chenxiang, a related party, but it still did not change the structure of the world.
Zhang Yang tried his best to tell the story as beautifully as possible.
Until Agarwood successfully cut down the mountain to save their mother, these children still had more to say.
Lishan was operating as usual, and Yan Liben took several people from the Ministry of Works out of the village to measure the roads.
In addition to building a passable bridge over the Weishui River, the first phase of fortifications also has to level the road.
Master Jiang stroked his beard and asked, "When will these fortifications start?"
Yan Liben looked around and stroked his beard and said: "Summer is the most suitable. The water level of the Weishui River is also the lowest in summer and there is less rain. The bridge must be built before autumn."
Railway construction cannot obstruct official roads, so during construction, try not to occupy too much official roads.
It's just that you need to pass through various villages and counties along the way, including Gaoling, Lantian, Jingxian and other places. These villages and counties have connections with Lishan.
Lishan has a very good mass base and is recognized by many towns and counties, but there are always one or two places where people are thorny.
For example, the three counties in the Bashui area do not allow railways to pass through their borders.
The title of Yan Liben, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, is not always useful. After all, that area is the territory of the Changsun family.
Zhang Yang was walking in the fields, observing the growth of various crops this year, especially pumpkins and courgettes.
Yan Liben described the problems encountered in road construction, and he worriedly said: "The county prince, with Lishan's current reputation, as long as I submit a memorial to His Majesty, the villages and counties in Bashang should also give in."
Zhang Yang held some soil and carefully observed the soil while talking, "If we have to rely on the court for everything, do we really think that we, Lishan, are easy to bully?"
"What does the county magistrate think we should do?"
"A detour, our railway will not reach Bashui in the future."
Yan Liben thought for a long time and then said: "It can be arranged, but it will take some time to prepare."
"There's no rush in this matter."
"I will take my leave now."
Because Yan Li was originally the minister of the Ministry of Industry and was strict in his speech and actions, Zhang Yang smiled and said: "You are not in the court in Lishan, so you don't need to be so restrained."
Yan Liben said again: "Lishan Mountain is an important place. The Supreme Emperor is here, as well as His Highness the King of Wei. I should restrain you."
Zhang Yang pointed to the other side, "Look, Prince Hejian is so happy. You should be like him."
Hearing this, Yan Liben turned around and saw Prince Hejian who was catching chickens with a group of children.
The wild laughter is so scary that people dare not look directly at it, and it disturbs the chicken coop.
Yan Liben handed over his hands and said, "I'd better continue to make preparations."
Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
After taking just two steps, Yan Liben looked back and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei, he..."
"What's up with him?"
"I often chat with King Wei, and I learned that he no longer looks at the drawings and no longer participates in casting."
"Well, he will vomit whenever he sees the drawings now."
Yan Liben looked hesitant to speak. After pondering for a long time, he finally asked: "I have seen a steam engine. This thing can indeed drive a car. Ordinary people cannot see the function of this thing. I have been a craftsman for half my life, so I can naturally see the future of trains."
"
"Since His Highness the King of Wei can build a steam engine, why do you want to stop it? If you can..."
Zhang Yang stopped at the foot of the mountain and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei is a very smart boy. He knows how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages."
"The county prince means..."
Yan Liben thought of something but didn't dare to say anything.
Zhang Yang shook his head and smiled: "Maybe he will vomit after seeing the drawings."
Yan Liben nodded and said, "I hope so."
From the time Li Tai was in Lishan to this day, his greatest achievement was a steam engine. Now he spends all day in the technical institute and no longer cares about the construction of the village.
As a prince, he naturally has more to take care of.
During the court meeting, the Gauls once again expressed their desire to make peace with the Tang Dynasty in the court hall.
Gaul was scolded by Xu Jingzong as soon as he opened his mouth.
Shangguan Yi stood up and said to the class: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, the situation in the Gallic royal family is unstable and civil strife continues. Do you think the envoy really has 100,000 troops to deal with the cannibals?"
Zhang Dashu translated in Dashi language.
When the news reached the ears of the Gauls, these Gauls with blue eyes, white skin, and yellow hair lowered their heads and remained silent.
It stands to reason that the Tang Dynasty did not know the situation in Gaul. Facing the Khan of Heaven, they did not dare to make any mistakes and could only keep saluting.
Shangguan Yi said again: "Your Majesty, I think it is not yet clear whether the Gauls can join forces with the Tang Dynasty to attack the Great Eclipse. It will not be too late to pacify the Great Eclipse and penetrate the West before discussing peace."
Xu Jingzong bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I am opposed to the marriage, and there will be changes in the distant future in Gaul that are beyond our reach."
Some people noticed that Shangguan Yi and Xu Jingzong sang in harmony very well, as if they had already agreed on what to say to each other and how to answer each other.
Li Shimin sat on the throne and his eyes fell on the Gauls. Shangguan Yi's words might make sense.
But more than getting married, Li Shimin wanted gold from the West. The Persians were too rich, and so were the cannibals.
As Zhang Yang said, when the flag of the Tang Dynasty was planted in their territory, all the wealth belonged to the Tang Dynasty.
Until the end of the morning court, the court still left some leeway for the Gauls and did not question their lies.
After going to court, Li Yifu and Yuan Gongyu looked at the Gauls.
"These Gauls look strange. Why are their hair yellow?"
"Well, I heard that a certain family has white hair."
Yuan Gongyu sighed: "It's really strange."
Zhang Daan arranged for the personnel of the Ministry of Rites to let the three Gauls stay first, and then read the books and maps brought by the Gauls.
There were many capable people in the court, but Zhang Daan believed that his abilities were still lacking. Since he became the Minister of Rites, he had not shown his own attitude on these matters and continued to consult various Western classics to make up for the lack of Western information in the Tang Dynasty.
In Zhao Guogong's residence, the elder Sun Wuji has become increasingly unable to do things in the past two years, firstly because of the collapse of the aristocratic family, and secondly because there are more and more young people in the court.
For example, Zhang Da'an, Pei Xingjian, Shangguan Yi and others, although their alliance is not close, they have more and more influence on Zhongshu Province.
Another younger generation has gained His Majesty's respect.
"Gao Xingcheng was beaten a few days ago. Pei Xingjian and Li Yifu were present." Tang Shanshi stood aside and said indignantly.
Changsun Wuji was quite dissatisfied with Chu Suiliang, Tang Shanshi, and Gao Jixi.
"If you get hit, hit it back. Do you still need me to give you some advice?"
Duke Zhao Guo spoke with anger. Only then did Tang Shanshi realize that he had said the wrong thing, and he quickly saluted, "I'm going down to look for a few strong men, and I'll go back now."
The weather was good today. When Tang Shanshi walked out of Zhao Guogong's residence, he was still a little unsettled.
Walk from Zhuque Street to the male residence in Yangzhai County. This is the Chu Liang family residence.
After being informed by the concierge, Tang Shanshi saw Chu Liang who was cleaning up the house, and many sundries had been transported out.
"The boy has met Uncle Chu."
Chu Liang stroked his beard and smiled: "Are you here to see Suiliang?"
"Yes." Tang Shanshi nodded in response and asked, "Does Uncle Chu really want to serve as an official and return to his hometown?"
Chu Liang said: "Well, I am getting old and I miss my hometown. I am originally from Qiantang. I am not accustomed to the local environment where I live. If I transport these things out first, I will be able to walk much easier."
After that, he added: "Hey, Suiliang is in the side room, you can do what you want."
"Here."
Chu Liang was a respectable elder. He was also one of the eighteen bachelors in the Qin Palace. Although he was not as good as Zhao Guogong and Fang Xiang, he had been serving as a bachelor in Hongwen Hall in recent years. He was also a regular servant in the court and often gave lectures in Chongde Square.
