Zhang Qingqing frowned and said, "Now is not the time to bomb Chang'an City."
"Why?" Even though Zhang Xin'an is only six years old, her eyes are full of alertness.
"Daddy is in a bad mood lately."
"Why is daddy in a bad mood again?"
Zhang Qingqing said slowly: "The emperor asked all the people of the country to drink boiled water and improve their living habits and hygiene habits. Originally, these were the rules of Lishan, but these have become the emperor's credit, so dad is not happy."
Zhang Xin'an looked to the other side of the village entrance and saw her father arguing with several officials.
Zhang Yang said loudly: "The secret recipe for the flush toilet has been given to the imperial court a long time ago. You still want Lishan to make it for you. Why don't you go and grab it!"
Several officials looked at each other, "But the government is not doing well, and His Majesty..."
"Don't mention it to me, Your Majesty. You can't even build a flush toilet. What does it have to do with our Lishan! Get out!"
Zhang Yang was still cursing angrily.
In the end, these officials were scolded and left feeling aggrieved.
Dad took out his anger against the emperor on these officials.
The DPRK asked Lishan to build more toilets, mainly to improve living conditions in various places.
This is a huge order, but Lishan cannot accept or accept this kind of order. After all, productivity is limited.
It has been many years, and Lishan has long stopped taking this kind of business.
Several officials returned to the palace and cried out about the grievances they had suffered in Lishan Mountain.
Li Shimin nodded and said: "This Lishan openly resists the decree, I will fine the Marquis of Lishan County five years' salary!"
Many commentators didn't know what to say for a while.
Lishan is so rich, how many years of salary fine has the Marquis of Lishan County been fined? This punishment is an understatement.
Li Yifu was also fined, and this person was extremely excited after being fined, and even bowed to Chengtianmen several times.
I have to say that this traitor's behavior is indeed different from ordinary people.
Every time Li Yifu knew that his name appeared in the eyes of the emperor, it was an incomparable blessing for him.
If this kind of fine is repeated a few times, the treacherous minister Li Yifu will be happy with it.
Cen Wenwen went to Lishan again, and this time the DPRK took a more sincere attitude in talking to Lishan.
Zhang Yang was playing with a door lock in his hand. This door lock is very small and more practical than ordinary door bolts.
"Give it to Brother Wenwen."
Cen Wenwen looked at the door lock and asked curiously: "County Marquis, is this really a lock?"
Zhang Yang explained: "This kind of lock is embedded in the door, and the ordinary lock is hung on the door. This is our new product from Lishan. I have already replaced it at home and it is very useful."
Cen Wenwen held the iron lock and looked at it.
Several civil servants standing behind Cen Zhongcheng were trembling with fear. This was their second time coming to Lishan, and they were afraid that they would be beaten out by the Marquis of Lishan County again this time.
The county prince glanced at them, and the officials lowered their heads.
Zhang Yang added: "I heard that there are people in the court who want to erase the years of hard work that Lishan has put into building Guanzhong, demolish the construction, and return Guanzhong to what it was like five years ago."
Cen Wenwen said with a smile: "Don't be offended if you speak to officials and do things."
He further explained: "You don't have to worry about the county prince. The construction of Guanzhong is also the duty of Sheji. As long as the government can seize the source of production, your majesty will not easily erase the hard work of Lishan for so many years."
"Furthermore, North Korea and China have also received definite benefits. As long as the system can keep up, these constructions will be the icing on the cake."
Zhang Yang asked again: "Who impeached me?"
Cen Wenwen smiled sarcastically, "The person who was impeached has been taught a lesson by Li Yifu. Now he still claims to be ill at home and dare not go to court for fear of being beaten again."
The presence of Li Yifu and others gave the already arrogant Tang Dynasty an even more rugged style.
Zhang Yang whispered: "Isn't there anyone who will stand up for these officials?"
"Yes." Cen Wenwen said calmly: "Chu Suiliang had another fight with Li Yifu and others in Taiji Hall. They were evenly matched. In fact..."
After a pause, he continued: "In fact, it is right to take care of both farming and mulberry. Your Majesty has also promised that all places should take care of farming and mulberry. To establish a foothold in the country, the fields cannot be without people, and everyone cannot stop farming and work in the workshops.
.”
The sunshine today is very comfortable, at least it has some warmth. Zhang Yang sat on the chair and said with his hands folded: "So the government wants to restrict the development of the workshop?"
"Specific workshops, specific restrictions, just taking care of farming and mulberry production, Lishan doesn't have to worry."
Cen Wenwen still looked calm.
Zhang Yang didn't take this very seriously and said in a low voice: "Someone is raising the price of food again recently."
"I heard." Cen Wenwen took a sip of tea and said, "It's all a small matter. The price of rice has increased from four cents per dou to six cents per dou. It's a normal ups and downs."
"Brother Wenwen, I don't really believe in North Korea and China."
"The lower officials will send letters to Lishan regularly to inform them of various measures taken by the DPRK."
"I don't really believe you either."
With a mouthful of tea stuck in his throat, Cen Wenwen coughed twice, and then he still smiled and said: "The official came to see the county magistrate to flush the toilet. Li Shan left a doctor's order in Shanxi, and the matter of using the toilet is also
It cannot be underestimated.”
Zhang Yang sighed: "Unless Lishan doesn't want to, no matter whether it's in the counties of Shaanxi or all over the Central Plains, we can't let the entire Lishan build toilets to supply the entire Central Plains? This order is too big, and Lishan doesn't dare to accept it."
"Does the magistrate have other arrangements?"
Zhang Yang thought for a long time, "Building workshops is not as simple as Brother Wen said. Just the workshops in the counties of Chang'an City cost more than ten thousand dollars to build. Building workshops requires money. In addition to each county providing its own manpower,
Their debt has not yet been paid to Lishan."
"If workshops capable of making flush toilets are to be built in various parts of the Central Plains, Lishan cannot afford the money and will have to pay for it."
Cen Wenwen frowned and said, "So, do you still need to figure it out?"
Zhang Yang waved to his son who was roasting chicken wings in the distance.
Zhang Xin'an ran over quickly, his chubby little face shining brightly in the sun. He held roast chicken wings in one hand, "Daddy eats it, and Uncle Wenwen eats it too."
Cen Wenwen took the chicken wings and looked at the child. He was very fat, and his eyebrows and nose were exactly the same as Zhang Yang.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Dad, what do you want your child to do?"
Zhang Yang poured himself a bowl of tea and said, "Go and summon Master Yan, and ask him to bring you the drawings for the squatting pit."
"good."
Cen Wenwen watched the children run away, and soon a group of children of the same age were walking with Zhang Xin'an. The children's laughter was very pleasant.
"Children always like to stay in groups, and now my daughter and son have become the leaders of the children in Lishan."
Cen Wenwen added: "It is good for children to have playmates. Such children will be more spiritual. This is how they should be raised."
Not long after, Yan Liben hurried over. He handed over a roll of drawings and said, "County Marquis, here are the drawings."
Knowing that Yan Liben was very busy, he didn't let him stay long, "Master Yan, go on and get busy. The construction of the station must be paid close attention to."
"Here!"
Zhang Yang opened the drawing and explained to Cen Wenwen: "Actually, a simple squatting facility is cheaper. If every household can install it, it will improve the current situation and make it more convenient."
Cen Wenwen looked at the drawing. The drawing was very simple. There was a pool, pipes, and buckets at the back. It could be built with just one pit.
"If we have this drawing, every household can build it."
"What about the construction?"
Zhang Yang smiled and said: "Brother Wenwen, don't worry, our Lishan Technical Institute teaches masons. This kind of facility is even more difficult for ordinary craftsmen. They can accept orders and requirements from the state government. They also cast toilets, but the cost is higher."
That’s all.”
"It is related to people's livelihood and the country. I would like to express my gratitude to the county marquis."
Zhang Yang stood up and said: "It doesn't matter. The taxes collected by the imperial court must be used for the people. It would be fine if the imperial court gives some subsidies to the villagers who respond."
Cen Wenwen sighed: "Although His Majesty has issued an edict, it is still very difficult to implement it."
"Build more for public use. Some things have to start from the beginning, starting with Guanzhong."
Zhang Yang handed him the drawings.
In fact, Cen Wenwen still had many things to ask in his mind. When he thought about the affairs in the court and how cumbersome it was to implement them, he sighed in frustration.
Just as he was about to leave, he turned around and said, "The Marquis of Lao County is here."
Zhang Yang smiled and said: "Brother Wenwen, walk slowly."
"Dad, is this Uncle Wenwen a good person?"
Listening to his son's words, Zhang Yang said: "He is not a good person."
Before Cen Wenwen could walk far, he looked back with surprise when he heard the words, and then he quickened his pace and left.
"I am the Zuocheng of the imperial court. I cannot ignore matters in the imperial court. I still have to intervene when it is time to do so."
Zhang Xin'an said: "If Uncle Wenwen is not a good person, then there will be no good people in the court."
I took my son back to the mountain just for lunch.
While eating, I was still thinking about farming this year. The diversification of crops is progressing more and more smoothly.
As crops outside Guanzhong become more and more adapted to the soil in Guanzhong, planting becomes smoother.
After dinner, Zhang Yang went to the glass shed at home. This year's vegetable seedlings did not grow well, so he picked the dead vegetable seedlings to avoid wasting nutrients in the soil.
Li Yue has been very leisurely recently. She always sits down and reads a book, drinks her favorite scented tea, and occasionally eats snacks.
Xiao Qingqing was looking down the mountain with a telescope.
Zhang Yang returned to the study, and Xiaohui came with a basket, "These are cotton socks made in Huayin County this year."
"Well, leave it alone."
"Master, they said these are the only things made of cotton socks. If Lishan thinks it's appropriate, they can continue to do it. It seems that both King Wu and Huayin County know they are wrong."
Xiaohui brewed a bowl of tea, placed it beside Master's table, and then tidied up the messy study. She did these things silently.
Master didn't like to be disturbed when she was reading, so she tried to keep the noise she made to a minimum.
After a long time, Xiao Wu came over and said, "Master, this is the production plan of Sanyuan County. The plans of each county this year are ready."
Zhang Yang took off his boots and tried on the cotton socks made in Huayin County. They were a bit prickly, but after wearing them for a while, he felt they were suitable.
Looking at the two disciples in front of him, he ordered: "Have someone send a message to Huayin County, saying that the material of these socks can be thinner and more comfortable to wear."
"Disciple understands." Xiaohui nodded, still standing in the study.
Zhang Yang took Sanyuan County's production plan for this year. Sanyuan's geographical location is to the north of Guanzhong and adjacent to Weinan County, which has always been dominated by animal husbandry.
Lishan's plan for them is also based on animal husbandry. While developing animal husbandry, it needs to standardize animal husbandry.
Their pasture is several times the size of Lantian County, making it difficult to manage.
The livestock farming in Guanzhong has always been based on free-range farming by each family.
The current scale still cannot keep up with the Hexi Corridor, which is rich in water and grass.
Zhang Yang added: "Give me the report on the Hexi Corridor in the past two years."
When Xiao Wu heard this, he looked at the bookshelf beside him, looked at the labels one by one and found the corresponding volume. He stood on tiptoes, took it down, and placed it on the teacher's desk.
First, he put down the production plan of Sanyuan County, then took the report on the Hexi Corridor, and frowned at Di Zhisun's report on the Hexi Corridor in recent years.
The Hexi Corridor has been under construction for six years, and the Hexi Corridor's mutual trade has been open for four years.
In recent years, Dickson has also been planting trees on the west side of the Hexi Corridor, and now there is a forest on the west side.
Since the completion of Jiayuguan on the side of Jiayu Mountain, Di Zhisun has spent most of his manpower on planting trees.
The results have been remarkable in the past two years, but whenever sandstorms hit, the anti-sand forest is not very effective. Dizhisun has arranged for people to find better saplings.
Soil desertification in the Hexi Corridor continues, and it will take at least 30 to 50 years to see results.
The Turks and Tibetans are blessed with unique geographical locations, and the development of their animal husbandry is like a blessing from God.
Lishan still cooperates with Turkic ranches, and the business of purchasing wool continues, spending thousands of dollars every year.
The development of animal husbandry in Guanzhong is a very troublesome problem, and excessive grazing causes serious damage to the environment.
Development is well controlled.
The price of mutton in Guanzhong has only risen in recent years, and now Sanyuan County is finally making a profit.
Zhang Yang gave a reply to Sanyuan County, stating that animal husbandry should not expand without authorization and risks should be reduced. Grazing should be restricted and vegetation should not be damaged too much.
Seeing that the tea bowl was empty, Xiao Hui quietly poured another bowl of tea for Master.
Zhang Yang took a sip of tea and continued writing.
There is no need to do anything more to diversify crops. Each county will lay out this strategy on its own.
After better cash crops bring enough benefits to the villagers, they will do so spontaneously.
There is no need to coax like before.
As Minister Zuocheng, he has more important tasks, and there are many reports that need to be read.
When people reach middle age, their official positions are getting higher and higher, and retirement life has not come yet.
After finishing today's work, the afternoon passed. Zhang Yang handed the scroll to the two disciples in front of him and said: "Send it to the mailbox at the bottom of the mountain and come back for dinner."
Xiaohui left holding a pile of books.
Xiao Wu followed up with brisk steps.
On the way down the mountain, Xiao Wu whispered: "Junior sister, how old are you now?"
Xiaohui whispered: "Just over eighteen."
Xiao Wu calculated his age, "Then I'm seventeen."
"Sister Xiaowu looks better now."
"Well, Xiaohui is pretty too."
Looking at Xiao Wu's figure, Xiao Hui is also quite envious, and seeing that she is not as tall as Xiao Wu, nor is she as handsome as Xiao Wu.
