Xiao Qingqing said stubbornly: "My daughter will not become stupid."
Zhang Yang whispered: "You must also learn to distinguish between good people and bad people."
"Uncle Wenwen is a good person, and uncles King Jin and King Wei are also good people."
Listening to his daughter's words, Zhang Yang shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Sobriety is the most rare thing."
Xiao Qingqing added: "That's why dad doesn't drink."
"I just drank it yesterday."
"Then daddy is not awake either."
Zhang Yang added: "Do you still remember the story of the farmer and the snake?"
Xiao Qingqing replied: "Of course I remember."
"Then remember this story well and always remind yourself not to follow the crowd easily, learn to think for yourself, don't be influenced by others, and learn to deal with problems by yourself."
"Sober people tend to understand sober people."
Aunt Wang is sweeping the floor aside. In fact, the house is always clean, and the children are on duty every day, so they don't throw away garbage.
If you throw it away casually, it will increase the burden on them.
As the little princess grew up, she became smarter and more alert.
Now listening to Mr. Hou's story, she will definitely be a wise person in the future.
In Aunt Wang's eyes, she was full of doting on this little princess. She was the child of Her Royal Highness and the future of Lishan.
While talking to his daughter about what middle-aged people should say, Zhang Yang drank tea and looked up to see Xiao Sanqiu opening Xiong Er's mouth and looking at it carefully.
Seeing this, he ordered: "Go and look at your brother."
When Xiao Qingqing saw her brother about to put his head into Xiong Da's mouth, she said, "None of these two brothers can worry."
After saying that, she quickly stepped forward, quickly pulled her brother's head back, and dragged him into the house.
Then I heard the sister scolding her brother.
However, this little brother is still learning to speak, and can only call him sister and father.
Zhang Yang put away his mood and read the documents while taking notes. The floods in Hebei were over and governance in various places seemed to be back to life.
The current Tang Dynasty is still a fragile agriculture centered on the Yellow River and the Yangtze River.
Various natural disasters and floods have repeatedly devastated agriculture.
Inside the house, my brother would only calm down a bit when he sat on the small bed.
Xiao Qingqing scolded him for feeling tired, so she held the bowl in both hands and drank hot water. After a few mouthfuls of warm water, she felt much better.
In another room, my mother is here, driving the spinning wheel and weaving clothes.
The clothes on my father were all made by my mother, and they were all made of the most common coarse linen.
Mom would make the clothes thicker so that dad would not be afraid of wearing them out when he was busy in the workshop.
Xiao Qingqing saw the documents placed on the desk again. These were the documents that his father had submitted to the court but had been beaten back.
She opened one of them and frowned: "Mom, dad has said many times that we need to regulate the Yellow River."
Li Yue shook her head and smiled: "Well, I've been saying it all the time."
Xiao Qingqing said angrily: "I have said it countless times, and I have been saying it all the time, but the DPRK has never agreed."
"Your father always has something he insists on. He feels that as long as he keeps talking about it, someone will know it. It's like someone is always whispering in the emperor's ear."
Xiao Qingqing replied: "Isn't that why you don't say what you say is unforeseen?"
Li Yue whispered: "Your father has always been like this. He can persevere in one thing, whether it is the affairs of Taifu Temple or our family business, even if it is full of difficulties."
She cut off a thread and tried on a piece of linen that had just been woven. She pulled the fabric with both hands and it still had some elasticity. It looked good.
"He is such a person. The emperor often said that your father is a disobedient person. In fact, it is because he has higher pursuits and persistence in his heart. These things are not told to outsiders."
After a pause, Li Yue continued: "Rather than not telling outsiders, it would be more effective to prove it with actions, well! Lishan has always done this."
After listening to her mother's words, Xiao Qingqing walked outside the house with a smile on her face. Looking from the top of the mountain, the scenery at the bottom of the mountain was very beautiful. She took a deep breath and felt much better. She suddenly felt that the people at the bottom of the mountain were very small.
The people in Chang'an City are even smaller.
"Aunt Xiaohui!"
Xu Hui held a volume of books and said, "What happened to the little princess?"
Xiao Qingqing replied: "I know now that I am indeed different from others."
Xu Hui smiled in surprise, "What's different?"
"It will be different in the future, I don't know now."
"Really?" Xu Hui tapped her forehead with the book, "Have you not finished your homework today?"
"Yeah!" She suddenly remembered and ran back quickly.
The autumn wind brings coolness to the pass, and the wind from the Hexi Corridor to Chang'an City is stronger.
Zhang Yang is no longer the Minister of Rites, and many matters of the Ministry of Rites are now in the hands of Zhang Daan.
Today a group of soldiers returned from the Hexi Corridor, bringing more tungsten ore.
There are even people making a living from tungsten mining in the Hexi Corridor.
Lishan has an endless demand for tungsten ore. Whether it is used to forge tungsten steel in the future or for current needs, the more of this stuff, the better.
In Zhongshu Province, Cen Wenwen had just finished his work for the day, and he and Gao Jifu were going to have dinner together.
"Your Majesty, Cen Zhongcheng, can't have dinner with us today."
Cen Wenwen smiled and said, "Ji Fu's family doesn't have much money, so you don't have to worry about food and wine."
Gao Jifu added: "There is something going on at Xiaguan's family. Zhengye has built a house in Qujiang and wants to ask Xiaguan, the father, to see the new home."
"The house in Qujiang?"
"Exactly."
Cen Wenwen took a deep breath, "You..."
I hesitate to say anything, but since the construction of Lifang City in Qujiang, the land there has been very expensive, and only the rich and powerful can afford it.
Gao Jifu's son Gao Zhengye bought a house there.
I used to see that his life was very poor.
He explained: "In the first two years of Zhengye, I worked for the county magistrate in the Hexi Corridor. After returning to Chang'an, I helped Lishan run the market. Now I have married a wife and just bought a house in Qujiang. Can Cen Zhongcheng...
Let’s go together.”
Cen Wenwen smiled awkwardly, "It turns out that your son made a fortune following Lishan. That's right, everyone who works with Lishan has made a lot of money."
Gao Jifu saluted again, "It made Cen Zhongcheng laugh."
A man who relied on his colleagues in the DPRK and China to support him has now become a rich man, even richer than most people in the DPRK and China.
Cen Wenwen felt a gap in his heart and replied: "I still have things to deal with in the afternoon, so I won't go."
"Then I will take my leave first."
"Um."
After autumn, Guan's stroke became much stronger. Cen Wenwen came to a wine shop alone. Without him opening his mouth, the sensible waiter prepared the food and served it to the table.
Not long after, Li Yifu also came.
Cen Wenwen glanced at him while eating his meal, "The cook here is not from Lishan. His skills are a bit poor. We can't find a place in a restaurant that is too good. Come here to deal with it. Don't dislike it in Yifu."
Li Yifu sat cross-legged and said, "Chu Suiliang has given advice to His Majesty."
Cen Wenwen nodded, "Yeah, I know."
"He wants Di Zhisun to come back from the Hexi Corridor."
Cen Wenwen chewed his food and said, "Dizhisun has been in the Hexi Corridor for four years."
"Since Zhang Zuocheng moved to Lishan, Di Zhisun has been rushing to the Hexi Corridor until now, but now the Ministry of Rites has not found an official who can replace Di Zhisun."
"Yifu's worries are not unreasonable. The Hexi Corridor is an important area. General Li Ji is stationing troops at the back, and there is mutual trading in the front. It is really inappropriate to change people rashly."
"What does Cen Zhongcheng think this should be?"
Compared to Li Yifu's anxiety, Cen Wenwen seemed much calmer. He replied: "Has the decree been issued?"
Li Yifu shook his head and said: "No."
Cen Wenwen smiled and said: "Since His Majesty has not issued an edict, and there has been no court discussion, he will not be easily called back."
"Can……"
"Needless to say." Cen Wenwen interrupted: "I know that Chu Suiliang's remonstrance was to say that Di Zhisun was working for the Marquis of Lishan County, not for the DPRK. He wanted to cause discord between the DPRK and the DPRK, so as to make Di Zhisun
return."
Li Yifu lowered his voice and asked: "Is he selfish or public?"
Cen Wenwen said solemnly: "This is not important."
"Then he must be doing it for selfish reasons."
"You are a narrow-minded person."
Li Yifu replied: "He has selfish motives, so what if his lower official position is narrow-minded?"
Cen Wenwen put down his bowls and chopsticks, looking dissatisfied with being interrupted while eating, and said slowly: "The Ministry of Etiquette does not need to worry about this matter. The court will make its own decision. It is not Chu Suiliang who has the final say whether Di Zhisun comes back. Please come back."
.”
Seeing that the other party was about to chase them away, Li Yifu stood up and bowed: "Thank you, Cen Zhongcheng, for your advice."
"We will meet in Zhongshu Province from now on. There is no need to look for her in private to avoid misunderstanding by others."
"Farewell."
Li Yifu walked out of this wine shop and turned around and walked into another street and alley, where Xu Jingzong was talking with several people from the Western Regions.
Although he is no longer the Minister of Rites, the informant he left behind is still there.
Li Yifu walked to one side and said: "Cen Wenwen is not willing to go around with the lower official."
Xu Jingzong sighed: "You are just too impatient. You cannot win over such a person. Don't think that just because he is close to the Marquis of Lishan County, he can give you convenience to Li Yifu. Besides..."
Patting his shoulder, Xu Jingzong added: "Besides, the county prince doesn't take you seriously either."
"Xu Shangshu, I can't bear to see the Ministry of Rites being bullied by Chu Suiliang, so I have no other choice."
"Well, then do your work well, don't think too much, and don't take yourself too seriously."
When Li Yifu heard this, he looked very angry, but he still swallowed his breath.
Xu Jingzong took him out of the street and said, "After this year, I have proposed to Your Majesty that you should be appointed Minister of Honglu Temple. Now there are many capable people in the court, including Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Yang Shidao and others.
It’s not yet time for me to stand out, so don’t be too presumptuous.”
Li Yifu said again: "Brother Da'an also came to beat the official after he went to see His Majesty. Xu Shilang taught me, and the official will remember it."
The people in the court are constantly scheming and scheming. These things are too tiring.
Xu Jingzong felt much better when he thought of the smile of Di Renjie's kid. Walking into the streets of Dongshi, he looked at the vegetable vendors one by one, "I wonder what the kid Renjie wants to eat today?"
Li Yifu reminded: "Shilang Xu, he is Di Zhisun's child."
"So what? This child is sensible and well-behaved. It doesn't matter if I raise him to adulthood."
"Shilang Xu, you have changed."
"In Yifu, people will change. In this world, only the county prince is really waiting for me. If you get the guidance of the county prince, you will also be enlightened."
In Xu Jingzong's eyes, the Marquis of Lishan County was someone who must be obeyed absolutely. He was even able to raise Di Renjie as his own child because of Lishan's instructions.
Renjie is indeed a very good child and very lovable.
Li Yifu stopped and looked towards the east of Chang'an City, feeling a little disappointed in his heart.
That night, Xu Jingzong still wrote a letter to Lishan.
The letter was sent to Lishan early the next morning. Zhang Yang knew about Li Yifu and the problem of Li Yifu.
This person is too radical. If he is not corrected, he will inevitably get into trouble in the future. There must be no problems with his thinking.
Zhang Yang felt that Xu Jingzong was a little worried, or that he deliberately made this person's problem very serious.
I just hope Lishan can pay more attention to Li Yifu.
Nowadays, there are hundreds of rivalries in the DPRK, and there are too many people who want to move forward.
The more powerful the Tang Dynasty was, the more people like this became.
There is no shortage of Li Yifu.
In Xu Jingzong's understanding of the power map, Li Yifu is an indispensable link. Shangguanyi, Pei Xingjian, Zhang Daan, and Di Zhisun are all officials related to Lishan. If one of these people is missing, Lishan will be ruined.
The right to speak in the DPRK is weakened.
Zhang Yang burned the letter, thought for a long time, wrote a reply, and arranged for someone to send it to Chang'an to deliver it to Xu Jingzong.
Turning to look at the door of the house, Xiao Qingqing was reading poetry with her younger brother.
The younger brothers and sisters were also listening to their royal sister's lecture.
Zhang Yang sighed: "You are already middle-aged, what do you want to do with these things?"
After all, I feel like I'm getting angry, and I can't do without dried chrysanthemums to make tea lately.
The mountain wind blows across this world, and the autumn rain falls in patter. When the wind blows, the slanting rain falls on the body, and the chill is biting.
The rain came slowly and slowly, pouring on the ground and falling into the Huaqing Pool.
Li Yue's class could only come to an end temporarily, and the children went into the library to do their homework.
She walked aside and said: "We need a lot of workers to lay the railway."
Zhang Yang held the cup in his hand before putting it down. He brought the cup to his mouth, drank the tea and looked into the distance, "Well, it will cost a lot of money."
Li Yue put her hands behind her back and stood beside her husband, looking at the rainy scenery outside the window. "After I mastered the star calendar, I found numeracy a lot less interesting."
"You finally said this."
Looking at her husband's side face, Li Yue turned around and said: "The art of mathematics seems to be endless and can never be finished, but what my husband has taught me is only a few words."
Listening to the sound of rain outside the house, the rain became much heavier. Listening to the sound of rain falling on the eaves, Zhang Yang smiled and said: "A person's life is very long, but a person's life is limited. The knowledge that can be learned
It’s also limited.”
Li Yue replied: "Well, my talent stops here and I can't make any further progress."
The twenty-five-year-old daughter-in-law felt a sense of enlightenment. Zhang Yang put down the tea cup in his hand and said, "It's good to stop in moderation. It's easy to become obsessed if you are eager for success. It's better to stop."
"It's been stopped for a while."
"Then stop trying for a few more years and try again when you think about it again."
"I want to accept my fate but am unwilling to do so." Li Yue felt a sense of powerlessness in her heart. This was due to the bottleneck of her learning ability. If she needs to make progress, she needs new theories.
