Chapter 918 The most critical stage of the emperor’s career
Go to the mailbox at the bottom of the mountain and put today's memorial approved by Master into the mailbox.
Xiao Wu asked in a low voice: "Xiao Hui."
"Um?"
Xu Hui turned to look at her suspiciously.
"Xiao Hui looked at Master in a strange way today."
"Um?"
The two girls were walking on the mountain path, and Xiao Wu whispered: "Junior sister's eyes looked at Master as if he was looking at..."
Although Xiao Hui is older, she entered the school later than Xiao Wu, so she has always been treated like a junior sister.
Noticing that Xiao Wu's eyes had some evil intentions, Xiao Hui's cheeks turned red with embarrassment, "Sister, are you kidding me!"
"Master was reviewing the memorial at that time, but Junior Sister's eyes never left. I want to tell Senior Sister Li Zhi."
"you!"
Xiaohui chased Xiaowu, "Senior sister bullies others! I didn't..."
Xiao Wu laughed and said, "You have it."
The two girls chased each other all the way, laughing and running up to the top of the mountain.
Back on the mountain, the two of them quickly regained their normal shape and came to the dining table to eat.
Late at night, a figure came to the mailbox. An old man packed up the files and letters, put the letters in a basket, and then walked away with his waist bent.
"You don't have to do this. I usually handle these things myself."
The prince said in a low voice: "The county prince said that Lishan lacks someone who can go back and forth and deal with the court."
Li Xiaogong walked from the darkness to the moonlight, "Are you still sending messages to His Majesty?"
The prince replied: "Your Majesty asked the old slave to stay in Lishan, and never asked the old slave to send news to the palace. All these things were done by Yan Liben, and he was the one who sent the news."
"Zhang Yang is a good boy."
"Old slave understands that the county lord is a good man."
"I am very dissatisfied that Your Majesty sent people to keep an eye on Lishan like this. My presence is enough. Lishan will not rebel."
The prince sighed: "This is the idea of the prince of Hejian County. It was the county prince who asked the old slave to stay in Lishan."
Li Xiaogong walked up to him and said, "I believe you for now."
The prince nodded and left.
A moment later, Li Tai also walked over quickly and whispered: "This old man is the most loyal to my father."
"I can tell."
"He has no ill intentions towards Lishan."
Li Xiaogong said solemnly: "After the incident at Xuanwu Sect, this old eunuch helped His Majesty do a lot of things."
"Uncle, my father never trusts anyone easily, including you and me."
Li Xiaogong smiled self-deprecatingly, "That's why His Majesty puts so many eyes on Lishan."
The emperor doesn't believe Lishan. Even if Lishan is so open and honest, he still wants to keep an eye on Lishan. But what if his eyes are not obedient?
So there are many eyes in the light and dark of Lishan Mountain.
These eyes are also staring at each other.
There are Yan Liben and Wang Gonggong on the surface, but there are more secretly.
These people are His Majesty's minions.
Li Xiaogong didn't like the emperor's behavior.
Li Tai consoled him: "Uncle, my father's thoughts are different from those of ordinary people, and he has more things to think about than us."
"You are really considerate of your father."
"Uncle Huang was joking."
…
In July of the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, the construction site at the junction of the three counties was still busy.
The construction of two buildings has been completed here, one is a teaching building, the other is a dormitory building and a canteen.
This is where the three earliest buildings were built.
Workers still live in small houses along the railway line, and only Lishan students can live in dormitories.
There are public bathrooms and toilet rooms on each floor of this dormitory building.
Students and construction workers can eat together in the cafeteria. This is something that can't be helped. Students studying civil engineering are learning Lishan's new construction techniques and can now carry out actual operations.
Students who can go out from here may not be able to become officials in the future, but students who graduate here can at least become foremen after they go out.
Yan Liben wore a safety helmet and looked at the drawings and several busy masons in the distance. This was the second phase of the dormitory building's construction.
Li Tai explained: "According to my brother-in-law's expectation, this dormitory building should be better built, and every room should have a flush toilet."
Yan Liben hesitated and said: "Why should we treat them differently?"
Li Tai smiled and said: "There will always be students who have studied in Lishan who want to stay. They can continue to study or work on Lishan's technology."
Hearing this, Yan Liben smiled and said: "The county prince still follows Lishan's approach and wants to form a team here?"
"We can have a lot of technical teams, and we need them very much. If outstanding people stay, we can waive all tuition and miscellaneous fees."
"Well, good dormitories are reserved for better students, and they will be more attentive to learning skills."
Li Tai nodded and said, "Students can make their own choices."
"The county magistrate has good tricks, I have learned from you."
Many construction projects along the railway line will be moved into this technical institute.
Moreover, this is a large project covering an area of 2,000 acres, with pavilions, waterside pavilions, and even dozens of research institutes. It will take three or two years to build.
This is more like a place for Lishan to incubate new technologies.
Li Tai whispered: "Lishan never does money-losing business. From the beginning of the construction of this place, no matter how much the initial investment is, for Lishan, even if a technology can be solved in the future, it will be a benefit."
Infinite.”
"If my father learned about my brother-in-law's true intentions, he would probably say that my brother-in-law is rich and kind."
Yan Liben decided in his heart to tell His Majesty the real thoughts of the County Marquis. When His Majesty the King of Wei said this, he smiled even more ashamed.
What's more, the King of Wei also married my daughter. Yan Liben felt even more conflicted. He sighed: "Should I care about Lishan Mountain, or should I report to Your Majesty that when the railway is completed, I should leave here."
Li Tai added: "You can be loyal to His Majesty, and you can also work well for Lishan. This is not a contradiction."
"Can……"
Li Tai added: "Your grandson is growing up day by day, and now he can call you grandpa."
When Yan Liben thought of his grandson, the smile on his face became even bigger.
Li Tai continued: "Whether it is your father or Li Shan, you can always do things in a down-to-earth manner. From now on, your grandchildren will be told that you are a loyal minister and Li Shan's capable general."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yan Liben's eyes suddenly brightened and there was a smile on his face.
Lishan is very peaceful this summer.
The younger brothers and sisters finally came back from the palace. Today, three more children have to take the graduation exam, namely Gao Yang, Dongyang and Qinghe.
After completing the exam, they have to face a choice, either leave Lishan like Li Zhi did, or stay in Lishan and help Lishan with work.
It was very quiet in the library. The three girls were taking the exam. They wrote each question with solemn expressions.
Li Yue looked outside the library. Her husband would spend half a day every day to complete the work of Zhongshu Zuo Cheng.
An hour passed and the three girls completed today's exam.
Li Yue, Xiao Wu and Xiao Hui reviewed the exam questions of the three people together.
Looking at Gao Yang, Dongyang and Qinghe looked nervous.
Li Yue finished grading, looked at Xiao Wu and Xiao Hui and nodded.
There are no annotations on the graduation examination papers, and it is not clear whether the questions are right or wrong. As long as most of the questions are answered correctly, you will pass.
"You three can graduate from Lishan."
The three of them hugged each other and jumped up and down with joy.
Li Yue added: "Now you can consider whether to stay in Lishan or return to the palace."
The three of them fell silent, and Dongyang stood up first, "Sister Huang, I want to stay in Lishan."
Li Yue nodded and said, "Where are you two?"
Qinghe and Gao Yang stood up together, "Stay in Lishan."
"Go back to the palace first. After informing your parents about your graduation, I will give you two months of vacation to prepare. There is no need to make a decision so quickly. If you really want to stay in Lishan, the emperor will arrange jobs for you."
"Thank you, Sister Huang."
When faced with such an important decision, their faces could not hide their excitement.
Li Fu is the only one left in the family, while Li Ming and Xiao Sizi have not graduated yet.
Li Fu is twelve years old, Li Ming is eleven years old, and Xiaosi is only eight years old.
Seeing the imperial sisters succeeding in their studies one by one, the three children looked very envious.
Zhang Yang wrote today's memorial and asked his aunt to send it to the mailbox down the mountain, rubbing his eyes.
Feeling a pair of cold hands pressing on his shoulders, Zhang Yang raised his eyes and looked at his wife's smiling face, "What's wrong? I'm so happy today."
Li Yue whispered: "Dongyang, Gaoyang, and Qinghe have all graduated."
Zhang Yang said in a low voice: "We have been in Zhenguan for fifteen years, and they have been studying in Lishan for six years."
"Yeah, it's been so long without realizing it."
Zhang Yang felt the strength of his wife's massage on his shoulders and said with a smile: "In the future, our family will no longer accept disciples. When our children grow up, we will also go out for a walk."
Li Yue replied: "Okay."
"Do you really want to go out for a walk, or are you just following my wishes?"
Hearing her husband's question, Li Yue smiled and leaned down and whispered in his ear: "There are so many things going on at home. If I were away for half a year or a few months, Lishan would still be in chaos."
Zhang Yang said discouraged: "As expected, I know you don't want to travel far away."
"You can go to a place that's not too far away." Li Yue stopped massaging his hands and said, "Let's go to the Qinling Mountains first, and then go to the Hexi Corridor."
Zhang Yang added: "I heard from Zhinu before that he wanted to go to Suiye City, but Suiye City is too far away. It's on the border of the Western Region, so our family won't go there."
Li Yue sat down and whispered: "The palace sent news that His Majesty ordered people to build additional schools in Chang'an City. The construction of these schools was presided over by the prince. Some people say that the father pays more and more attention to the literati."
"Well, it's becoming more and more obvious that there is a shortage of talented people in the DPRK."
"My father will also order people to revise the law this year."
"I saw the memorial."
Seeing that her husband was worried, Li Yue asked: "What are you thinking about?"
Zhang Yang sighed: "What I'm most worried about now is what to eat for lunch? I'm tired of mutton and tired of dumplings."
Li Yue smiled and said nothing.
The fifteenth year of Zhenguan was the most important year for the Tang Dynasty and the most critical year for laying the foundation of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Shimin's emperor's career has reached the middle and late stages. Now he has to formulate many matters, including official administration, civil affairs, military system, and laws.
These things were fully established in the hands of Emperor Taizong, Li Shimin, and would then be handed over to the next emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and the next emperor after that.
Emperors after the Tang Dynasty may follow the policies and laws set by Emperor Taizong Li Shimin, or they may make improvements based on the original foundation in future situations.
You may also regard everything established by Emperor Taizong as the law of your ancestors and never waver again.
The Tang Dynasty was handed over from the hands of Li Yuan to Li Shimin and began to be governed and pacified, but the journey was bumpy every step of the way.
Li Yuan and Li Shimin, father and son, started their own business together.
The Tang Dynasty was founded in the turbulent pre-Sui Dynasty, creating order out of chaos.
It took twenty-four years to go from a dilapidated city of Chang'an to a state of prosperity.
These twenty-four years are neither short nor long.
The legend of Tian Khan will be written into stories by people and spread to the Western Regions or Mobei, or among the villagers in the Central Plains.
From a time when employment was tight and no one was available, to now where the court is in good order, Li Shimin laid a fairly solid foundation for the Tang Dynasty.
Zhang Yang hoped that the foundation of the Tang Dynasty could have more people.
Li Shimin did indeed do this, and he has been controlling the powerful and the clan, not letting them live too miserably, nor letting them live too well.
Li Yue thought for a long time and finally made the decision to eat noodles today, which she pulled with her own hands.
In fact, the meals she cooks are not that delicious, and the children will not tell her clearly that pasta is her most proud cooking skill.
Xiong Da emerged from the forest, carrying a smaller bear in his mouth, which was the child of Xiong Qi's panda.
This panda gave birth to cubs and didn't take much care of them.
Every time the little bear gets lost, Xiao Qingqing has to lead Big Bear to find it. Big Bear has a good sense of smell, and he will know where the little bear has gone when he smells it.
Zhang Yang walked to the wooden bridge and turned the water valve on the bridge. The water flow became much smaller and the sound of the water was also quieter.
"Master, Liuli has been delivered."
Pieces of translucent glass were placed on the cart, and Xiao Wu and Xiao Hui wiped the sweat from their foreheads.
Li Yue frowned and said, "Just let your master do these things."
"Master has to deal with the memorial in the imperial court, so we thought we would move here first." Xiaohui smiled with pretty eyes.
"Wash your hands and eat soon."
"Yeah." The two disciples responded in unison.
They are square and square, of different sizes, and are all fired according to the size of the windows in your home.
Zhang Yang picked up one of the pieces and looked at it. The light transmittance was much better than before. There were still a lot of spots inside, but the surface had fewer bumps and looked smoother than before.
I put one piece of glass on the window and compared it. It was about an inch smaller. It was just right to fix it with a wooden frame.
After the meal, Zhang Yang went to his workshop and got busy.
Zhang Qingqing walked into the workshop holding a bowl of noodles and eating noodles. She went to play at the foot of the mountain for a long time and came back late. She and her brother were just eating now.
"Dad, did mom agree to use colored glaze to make windows?"
"I agreed." Zhang Yang cut the wood with a lathe and looked at her again, "How is Mr. Ouyang's health today?"
"The old gentleman still has the same problem. Dr. Sun went to see him and said that he won't be able to write for a long time, but he can teach me and my brother how to write."
Zhang Yang said in a low voice: "After I replace the windows at home, I will go and see his old man."
