Chapter 855: The Conquest of the Hejian County King
In the study, the flame of the oil lamp was still bright, illuminating the expressions on each other's faces.
Naturally, Gaul women cannot come to Lishan. Maybe a Gaul woman will die inexplicably in the wild before she reaches Guanzhong.
After the words were spoken, Li Yue still did not go to get the Nanzhao Royal Seal, but still sat upright.
Zhang Yang found a letter from a pile of memorials, nodded and said: "It turns out that Monk Xuanzang will also send letters to Tian Khan."
"Huh?"
Li Yue also sat over and wanted to read the letter.
The content of the letter contains Xuanzang's recent insights into the scriptures and his worries about the future.
Tubo's path went astray, which was not in line with his understanding of the scriptures, and he hoped that Tian Khan could intervene.
Also, the cannibals are too paranoid about the concept of prophets and gods, which will lead to detours sooner or later.
A letter expresses Xuanzang's compassionate heart.
He is kind to everyone in the world. In his eyes, everyone is the same, and Tian Khan is just an ordinary person.
It seems that Xuanzang is the only one who is unique in the world.
Xing'an walked over quickly, and Li Yue frowned and said, "Aren't you still up so late?"
He said excitedly: "Dad! Mom! The baby wants to name the newborn bear."
Li Yue placed the oil lamp in the center of the table. Worried that her son would knock over the lamp because of his frizzy temper, he asked, "It's so late, are you thinking about these things?"
He replied: "My child plans to name them Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun."
Zhang Yang said discouraged: "I shouldn't have told you the story of the Three Kingdoms in the first place."
The child went to sleep contentedly again.
After putting away the memorials in front of him, Zhang Yang wrote another reply memorial. The content of the memorial was to express his affirmation of the emperor's work.
Li Yue sorted out a stack of memorials and said with a smile: "Who would write a memorial to praise my father? It's rare."
"Give your father some positive recognition."
These collected memorials had to be returned to the court. Zhang Yang put on his coat and walked outside the house. While washing, he took a look at the situation in the bear's den.
When the little bear was born, the child remembered it closely.
The moonlight shines, and you can see the situation inside the bear's den. Xiong Da is guarding Xiong San, and the newborn bear is also sleeping soundly.
Zhang Yang spat out the mouthwash before returning to the house.
The morning in Lishan was very lively, with children laughing and adults shouting and scolding.
Zhang Yang would stand on the mountainside after every morning run, looking at the scenery and admiring it for a long time.
As in the past, Zhang Yang went to see the crops in the fields. The steam locomotive was placed on the main road in the village.
It was still a bit cold in the morning, and there was morning dew on its body.
The technical issues are still there and have not been resolved yet.
Li Tai ate tea eggs early in the morning and stood beside the steam engine in a daze.
"Has His Highness King Wei discovered the crux of the matter?"
Li Tai swallowed the tea egg in his mouth and added: "I have thought about it for a long time. On the surface, it seems that it is only damaged in one or two places, but if you think about it carefully, it is not that simple."
"how do I say this?"
Li Tai struggled and said: "I had this feeling when I first built the steam engine. At that time, I felt that the air pressure was not enough. It was not a problem of firepower and structure, but a problem of the environment where the air pressure was used. After thinking about this, I succeeded."
Otherwise, it would be easy to say that Li Tai is a child with a clear understanding of both the north and the south.
Having just come into contact with power applications, he wondered if he had overlooked some theories.
Zhang Yang added: "I have seen the drawings sent by Master Yan. I will help adjust them in the next two days."
Li Tai looked into the distance and raised his chin to signal.
Zhang Yang also looked in the direction. Not far away, Prince Hejian was walking casually on the field ridge, looking forward to when the courgettes would grow.
Li Tai whispered: "Brother-in-law, what do you think of your uncle?"
Zhang Yang clasped his hands and said, "Is he still the same as before? Why...is there anything special about him today?"
"I don't know since when, the emperor's uncle conquered all the dogs in the village..." Li Taisan remained silent and said in another way: "Well, it should be conquering."
King Hejian conquered all the dogs in the village, and now they are all following him when he walks.
At a second glance, he looks a bit like a very imposing general.
"His retirement life is so interesting. One day I will retire too and bring my family's bear pack to beat the dogs in the village all day long."
As he was talking, Zhang Yang looked back and saw that the fat man had gone far away.
After walking around the steam locomotive, Zhang Yang returned to the mountain, looking at the drawings and thinking about the key issues.
This is the first steam locomotive in the village. Looking left and right, I feel that there is something wrong with the structure of this car, which makes it feel top-heavy.
"Dad, my sister blew up Little Chang'an again."
Little Chang'an is the model of Chang'an City built by her daughter. She finally repaired the model, but now it exploded again.
As long as she doesn't blow up some weird things, she can have fun.
Zhang Yang took a ruler and charcoal pencil to modify the drawings. The internal structure of the steam locomotive still needed to be adjusted.
The motorcycle designed by Li Tai and Yan Liben is too complicated.
In memory, the structure of coal-powered trains should be simple.
"Yeah." Zhang Yang nodded, looking at the drawings after discarding some unnecessary structures, "This way it looks much clearer."
Lishan is busy for production and construction, and the DPRK is also busy for the country.
The prince asked someone to carry a box of memorials into the palace, "Your Majesty, this is the memorial approved by Lishan."
Li Shimin nodded and motioned to put it aside.
The prince picked up one of the volumes very considerately and whispered: "Your Majesty, this is written by the county prince himself."
"It's really rare for him to write a memorial."
As Li Shimin said this, he opened the memorial and began to read it. When he saw it, his brows furrowed and his expression changed drastically.
The prince bowed his head and stood aside, looking at His Majesty's expression from the corner of his eye. Could it be that the county prince wrote something bad in the memorial?
Usually, memorials often contain admonitions and righteous words.
Li Shimin stroked his beard and thought again, this kid has never said anything nice before, why is it so abnormal this time?
"The ruler of the world, the Nine-Fifth King, is wearing the dragon robe, and all the nations will come to court."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! These words are indeed very useful and comfortable to read, but this makes Li Shimin feel more and more uneasy.
After reading it carefully several times, I always felt that there was something in his words, but I couldn't find a clue.
I stopped reading after reading it several times. It was also because of these words that the emperor was in a particularly good mood today and even took a few more bites of his lunch meal.
"Your Majesty, Minister Xu is here again to ask about the Gauls."
Li Shimin put down the chopsticks in his hand, remembered the memorial he saw in the morning, and said in a deep voice: "Just follow the advice of the Ministry of Rites."
"Here."
After the prince went to report, he came back and said, "Your Majesty, Duke Zhao and the Prime Minister are here."
"Well, let them enter the palace."
The sound of footsteps came from outside the hall. Li Shimin was still eating. The dishes in early spring were very good.
Li Shimin asked the chamberlain to arrange the seats, "Auxiliary engine, Xuanling, you also need to take a seat and have a meal."
The two of them looked at each other and did not refuse immediately. They sat down first.
Li Shimin took a sip of the broth and said: "The cooks in the palace came from Lishan. I thought they were taught by Lishan. Now the fruits and vegetables for the palace are also supplied by Lishan. Every day
Fresh fruits and vegetables will be delivered.”
"Zhang Yang has a lot of money and is a good man, and the people in Lishan are also rich and a good man." Li Shimin wiped his mouth and said: "Yue'er has a disciple named Xu Hui. She mentioned it to the queen and went to Lishan
More fruits and vegetables can be supplied to the important ministers in the court."
Fang Xuanling and Zhao Guogong also looked a little more serious.
Li Shimin smiled with relief, "But Guanyin has never been involved in political affairs, and she has not agreed to these matters."
After that, Li Shimin asked again: "How are the preparations for road construction in Lishan Mountain?"
Fang Xiang replied: "Cen Wenwen went to inquire, and Lishan sent people to various towns and counties to inquire. Many villages have contacts with Lishan. The operation in the past two years has won the hearts of the local people, and the construction of roads will naturally go smoothly.
.”
Changsun Wuji whispered: "There are only two hundred people in Lishan. Where can we get the manpower for production and road construction?"
Li Shimin drank the tea without saying anything. Tea after meals was His Majesty's living habit.
Fang Xuanling shook his head and nodded and said: "The Duke of Zhao is worried. Looking at Guanzhong, everyone will be short of manpower. Even the court is short of manpower. But Lishan will never be short of manpower. He can have as many people as he wants."
The reason is nothing more than human resources. The human resources coordinated by Lishan are too huge.
"It is said that the manpower dispatchers are young people who were taught by Lishan School in those days. These young people are fifteen or sixteen years old. They do not want to become officials but continue to work in Lishan."
Building roads has always been labor-intensive since ancient times, especially huge fortifications that require more corvee labor.
Li Shimin thought that it took three thousand people to build the Taiye Pool in the palace. If Zhang Yang wanted to build two such long roads, he would need at least tens of thousands of people.
Such a huge fortification has to face criticism and cost so much money. I really want to see him in trouble.
Li Shimin stood up and said: "Lishan wants to dominate the world, so he has the manpower in Guanzhong to do something big. A boy who doesn't know the heights of the sky knows how difficult it was for Zheng Guo to build the canal, and how much criticism Yang Guang received for building the canal. He Zhang Yang still needs to build the road."
How much infamy have you endured?”
Many times, Li Shimin always felt that Zhang Yangxi did something thankless.
But some seemingly insignificant and often overlooked places can always play some role.
Just like Lishan Technical Institute, who would care about the students taught there at first, but now?
Everyone can fight for a spot.
After all, Zhang Yang is too righteous. If it were someone else who controlled this technical institute, they would probably sell the places at a high price.
Lishan still pays attention to fairness. All towns and counties that cooperate with Lishan have fixed quotas, and they can select more than ten people to enroll every year.
Changsun Wuji whispered: "I heard that Your Majesty lost two hundred years of taxes from the Hexi Corridor to Lishan?"
"Cough cough cough..."
Li Shimin cleared his throat and said, "I was just having fun with him for a while."
"Don't lose taxes even if you are having fun."
Looking at Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji, both of whom had serious faces, Li Shimin sighed: "I can redeem it with money, but every time I think about giving Lishan money, I feel very unconvinced."
Fang Xuanling advised: "Your Majesty, don't do such childish things in the future."
"Xuanling, I will pay attention to it."
After Li Shimin finished speaking, he kept pouring tea into his mouth.
After all, it is still two hundred years of taxation, and the mutual trade in the Hexi Corridor is still busy, with many merchants coming and going.
Nowadays, the newly opened mutual markets in Hetao cannot be compared with the Hexi Corridor.
To this day, there are still many Turks who would rather go to the Hexi Corridor to trade than buy sheep in the Hetao.
Fang Xuanling also encountered a difficult problem because of this. Turkic sheep could be sold at a much cheaper price in Hetao.
But if you go a long way to the Hexi Corridor, the price will be higher. If you walk a little further, you can get a better price.
Naturally, all the sheep of the Turks ran towards the Hexi Corridor.
The mutual market in the Loop is still deserted.
In addition, from a geographical point of view, the Hexi Corridor connects the Western Regions, and its location is unique.
Fang Xuanling attributed this incident to Di Zhisun's governance, but there was only one Di Zhisun in the court and there was no second one.
After explaining the situation of the mutual market to the emperor, Cen Wenwen and the prince also entered the palace and expressed their views on the mutual trade in the Hetao.
The monarch and his ministers discussed it until the afternoon.
When he walked out of Ganlu Hall, Li Chengqian suddenly stopped and said, "Cen Zhongcheng."
Cen Wenwen looked back and said, "Does His Royal Highness still have doubts?"
"I understood Zhang Yang's intention in playing chess that day. No matter how the government tried to check and balance, or how they tried to restrict Lishan, Lishan remained unmoved."
"What does His Highness mean by these words?"
Li Chengqian continued walking and explained: "That day, Rugu played chess with Zhang Yang and lost several moves. Every time Rugu wanted to attack and kill, he was defeated by him. But Rugu wanted to lure the enemy deeper, but he remained unmoved. That's why Rugu was like this
Lost."
As he spoke, Li Chengqian's expression showed frustration, "The opening of the Hetao mutual trade between North Korea and China requires investment in manpower and material resources, but the results have not been achieved after the construction. Such efforts have not yet been recovered, but Lishan cannot be shaken."
"Zhang Yang's intention is to tell the court not to think about dealing with Lishan. The court has always wanted to restrict Lishan, so it will make mistakes step by step and delay other things."
Cen Wenwen smiled and said: "The Marquis of Lishan County is such a person. For him, he doesn't want to explain simple principles. Saying more words seems to cost several years of his life. This person has an incredible temperament."
Arriving in front of Chengtian Gate, the prince and Cen Wenwen bowed to each other and said goodbye, each walking in their own direction.
The Gauls left, and they left very sadly, because the Tang Dynasty was unwilling to make peace, let alone join forces with Gaul.
Tian Khan didn't care about their life or death, which made them feel very disappointed.
The Tang Dynasty is the most powerful country in the world, and they have artifacts that can sweep away the cannibals.
This artifact can level mountains and rivers and destroy cities. Such a powerful Khan of Heaven does not take Gaul seriously.
A powerful country should be more tolerant, just like it is written in their Old Testament that God should save everyone in the world.
The Khan of Heaven is such a character. He will save the world, but he is unwilling to save the Gallic royal family.
As an envoy, Datang also gave him due respect, poems and books, and a lot of food.
Li Yifu stood in front of Chang'an City, "Your Majesty was like dealing with uncivilized savages and drove them away."
Yuan Gongyu looked at the Gauls who had not gone far, nodded and said: "Look, their clothes look like savages."
