If everyone is idle, fighting against each other and forming cliques all day long for a small amount of power, there will be chaos.
Let the court function and keep everyone busy. There will be endless things to do every day every year, and the court will cease.
There are still people quarreling in the court, and this has always been the custom of Zhenguan. If you disagree, you will quarrel. If you can't argue, you will fight. There will be a lot of chaos in Tai Chi Hall every day or two.
Cen Wenwen’s work has returned to normal.
Things in Lishan have now become less important. Some memorials have been sent here and there, but they are not important matters yet.
With nothing to do, Zhang Yang accompanied his daughter and son to plant vegetables in the fields.
After planting vegetables, I took my siblings to the river to fish, which made me feel that I was getting closer to retirement.
Zhang Qingqing is a very smart child. Her math talent is as good as her mother's, and she learns math very quickly.
In fact, Zhang Gongjin, the teacher at that time, liked her very much and talked to her a lot. Most of the time, the teacher taught her some intelligence skills.
I don’t know how much this child can learn.
Zhang Xin'an has a headache. This child has been aggressive since he was a child.
Qingqing has been taken care of by her master, so you can rest assured.
But my son’s peace of mind also needs a teacher who can guide him for at least three to five years.
Zhang Yang's eyes moved from the river to the children beside him, and as expected, he was relieved that the boy had fallen asleep again.
Zhang Qingqing's mind was not on the river. She was holding a book in her hand and reading, and what she was reading was materialism.
There are several volumes of materialism, and what she is reading now is the volume on the content of consciousness.
"County Marquis!"
A shout caused the fish about to bite the hook to escape, and Zhang Xin'an woke up from her nap.
The person who came was Li Tai's bodyguard. He ran over quickly and made some inconspicuous ripples on the river beach.
"There is news from Dongyi."
Zhang Yang said: "Say."
He took out a volume of letters and handed it over, "The royal family of the Japanese slaves all left the city and surrendered. Now Wen Ting has occupied the royal city of the Japanese slaves, and dozens of carts of silver mines have been sent to Chang'an City. The letter came first, and then
You can reach Guanzhong in half a month."
"good!"
Zhang Yang looked excited.
"I'm resigning from my humble position."
"Did the palace get the news?"
"I think it's about time."
Zhang Yang allowed him to leave, opened Wen Ting's letter and looked at it. A roll of silk was filled with dense words. In the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, when they first arrived at the Japanese Nu Island, they encountered a storm and were trapped on an island for two months.
Long.
After that, they continued to cross the sea, and by the 16th year of Zhenguan, they had conquered a large number of villages and small towns.
It was very difficult for the Silla people to command. On the one hand, these people fought too protractedly, and on the other hand, their execution ability was very poor.
So after they captured a large territory, they stopped.
Since then, he has been training his troops, during which time he sent people to search for silver mines.
It took another half a year. In the winter of the 16th year of Zhenguan, Wen Ting and He Bi felt that they had trained the Silla people well, so they continued to send troops to attack.
The letter described the process in great detail, and also said that the Japanese slaves hid the silver mine.
The nobles of the Japanese slaves are all idiots. After they get a piece of clothing from the Tang Dynasty, they are willing to do whatever they want.
They were also extremely poor people. Compared to the Tang Dynasty, which was relatively rich in material resources, those people were so poor that they were barely clothed.
Wen Ting said he liked the warmth there, but felt uncomfortable after soaking there for a long time.
Why bother, tired of killing, he returned to Silla first.
The letter stated that they still had not found any trace of the bearded guest and were still waiting for Lishan's reply.
Li Yue saw her husband coming back with the child, and she was curious about her husband and walked straight into the study.
After rummaging in the study for a long time, Zhang Yang found some drawings and secret recipes, "I plan to give these secret recipes away and give them to Japanese slaves to make."
"Well, these are the secret recipes that husbands give up."
Among them are the secret recipe for making highly translucent glass and the secret recipe for lime.
These are high-pollution workshops. Guanzhong does not build these because they are not only bad for the environment, but also harmful to the human body.
In addition, there are several volcanoes in the territory of the Japanese slaves, and materials that are rare in Guanzhong can be easily obtained there.
The couple sat opposite each other, and Li Yue shook the goose feather fan in her hand, like a master, and whispered: "There will probably be another memorial sent from the court."
Zhang Yang drank tea and nodded.
"Does Lishan want to be involved in these things?"
"If you don't participate, leave everything to the central government to arrange. Lishan will not be involved in any of these matters, let alone interfere. If they send me the memorial, I will have it sent back."
"Very good."
Li Yue nodded in agreement.
Even if you are in a high position, you must know how to give in. Furthermore, there are enough capable people in the court now. In addition to moving these harmful workshops out of Lishan, as for how to manage and arrange them, that is the responsibility of those in the imperial city.
thing.
Zhang Yang organized the drawings and said, "If I keep intervening, how can I retire early?"
While talking, Li Yue looked up and saw a piece of paper hanging on the wall, with four words: Retire early.
As expected, Dongyi's battle report arrived, and the imperial court immediately sent a small carload of memorials. These memorials were all admonitions from the civil servants and generals of the imperial court.
Zhang Qingqing faced the officials in front of him alone and saluted: "My father is not feeling well and has been unable to write in recent days."
"Can……"
"My father is ill. I'm really sorry."
Civil servants, you looked at me, and I was speechless for a moment. Did this little princess take charge of this huge Lishan Mountain?
"There is a memorial here with the Prime Minister. Cen Zhongcheng specially asked you to read it."
Zhang Qingqing added: "You can give me the memorial of the Prime Minister, and send the others back. Thank you for your work."
Several civil servants had no choice but to go back with a small cart of memorials.
The prime minister was going to be his brother's teacher, so he still had to read his memorial. She patted Xiong Da on the forehead and said, "Go home."
Xiong Da slapped away a desperate duck and took the little master back to the mountain.
"Dad, a memorial from the Prime Minister."
Zhang Yang was blowing the tea leaves on the tea. Xiaohui's brother was very good at doing things. He gave Lishan a lot of new tea this year, "Bring it here."
Zhang Qingqing put the memorial on the table, "Will the prime minister accept my younger brother?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhang Yang opened the memorial, looked at it, and whispered: "If Fang Xiang disagrees, the family will slowly corrode him with all kinds of favors and materials, and fight with him.
Make good friends with his family members until he surrenders."
"It's so poisonous."
"It is very vicious, so those who serve as officials in the government must be firm-minded."
"Our family has plenty of money, and it's not like we want our roommate to do anything against morality. It's not easy to find a teacher for my brother. Uncle Wen is good, but he's too close to dad."
The memorial from the Prime Minister expressed a concern, which was the concern of some old ministers in the court. Pei Xingjian and Ashinadur had already launched a war against Xue Yantuo.
After the Western Expedition came the Northern Expedition. The battle report of Dongyi arrived, and a lot of news came with it. Wen Ting and the others were not soldiers of the imperial court, but they were Tang people, and there was no way they could kill like this overseas.
Damn Tianhe.
The three-way war in the Tang Dynasty continued in the north, west and east.
There were too many wars during the Zhenguan Dynasty. If this continues, more people will think that the Zhenguan Dynasty was warlike and the Tang Dynasty should not be plunged into the quagmire of war.
Zhang Qingqing stood on tiptoes and looked at the contents of the memorial, "Dad, does the Tang Dynasty want to cease the war?"
Zhang Yang replied: "If the war ceases, Datang will stop expanding and lose resources."
Zhang Qingqing thought about it: "Will the emperor agree to a ceasefire?"
Zhang Yang smiled and said: "The reason for the western expedition against Persia was to save Persia, the northern expedition against Xueyantuo because of their civil strife, and the reason for going out to sea to attack the Japanese slaves because the Japanese slaves harbored evil intentions. Every war in the Tang Dynasty was justified. Since there were legitimate reasons,
Reason, why fear these words."
"Dad is right. The emperor has gained so much wealth because of the war. If he wants to stop the war, he will lose more than he gains."
"Where's your brother?"
Hearing this, Zhang Qingqing looked around and replied, "I'm probably catching someone's dog again."
Zhang Yang whispered: "Let him become a disciple earlier and let him know some rules. The people in Lishan always dote on him, so we need to find a strict teacher for him."
"Then it can't be Uncle Wenwen."
My daughter is very smart, she was taught this by herself.
Among the three children in the family, Qiu'er grew up the slowest.
The family has put the most effort into their daughter, and Li Yue has the strictest discipline. She has received guidance from Zhang Gongjin, and has also been taught the art of war by General Li Jing. Her teachers are among the best in the world.
Zhang Yang wrote the reply and asked her to arrange for someone to send the memorial back to the court.
In September of the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, the silver mines sent from Dongyi arrived, half of which was given to Tian Khan, and the other half to Lishan.
Carloads of silver ore were covered with oilcloth and sent to the warehouse in Lishan at one time. There were more than thirty cars and a total of tens of thousands of kilograms of silver ore.
The news that the Japanese slaves had silver mines exploded in the court.
The people were sent out by Lishan, so it is natural that Lishan would benefit.
The impeachment memorials from the DPRK and the Central Government arrived before the emperor's case like snowflakes.
Zhang Yang looked at the pieces of silver ingots being melted out of the iron factory, and it seemed that the years had passed peacefully.
Lishan was very arrogant, so arrogant that he took away half of the silver mines without giving any explanation to the government.
Li Tai peeled the tea eggs and asked the guard behind him to carry a pot, "Brother-in-law, do you want to eat tea eggs?"
Zhang Yang took one and ate it, "Your Highness, King Wei, you should eat less."
"I eat once or twice occasionally, but I usually give them food." He said and pointed to the guards behind him.
Li Tai added: "I don't like eating anymore, I prefer cooking. I enjoy it every time I cook, but when the food is on the plate, I don't have much appetite. Brother-in-law, you say I am
Not sick."
"Human food intake is limited, just eat the necessary food every day."
"Well, the king's guards are all fat."
"Did they all eat it?"
"They have a good appetite and don't dare to waste any of it."
A group of guards smiled even more reluctantly.
"By the way." Li Tai wiped his hands with the guard's sleeves, sat down and said, "I heard that there has been a falling out in the Yushitai recently, and they are all criticizing Lishan."
"What do they accuse Lishan of?"
"It's said that Lishan took a lot of silver mines."
Zhang Yang picked up a cold silver ingot and weighed it in his hand, "The conquest of Dongyi did not use Guanzhong's men, and even the conquest of Baekje did not use the troops of Chaozhong. They are all my people, what do they have to criticize?
of."
"Besides, I have agreed with your father on a 50-50 split. This is an agreement."
Li Tai thought sadly: "I don't know when there was a trend in Chang'an City now. People say what they say is not supported by words, but they are based on words."
"His Royal Highness the King of Wei is saying that the verbal agreement between me and His Majesty will not count, right?"
Li Tai nodded solemnly, "Mostly yes, so there will be more people scolding Lishan. Of course, there are also people who support Lishan. Who wants to do the business of opening up territories?"
"Then what did your father say?"
"Father..."
"Angry?"
Li Tai shook his head and said: "I'm not angry, I just asked someone to wash Chengtianmen again."
"Huh? What are you doing at Chengtianmen?"
"I don't know. How about my brother-in-law go and ask?"
"I've been very busy lately."
Zhang Yang put the remaining half of the tea egg into his mouth in one gulp and walked away with large steps.
Another amount of money has been added to the family. This is just the first time I have brought it. There will be more silver mines in the future.
Li Yue was very happy when her family had money. She hummed the tune of the past and hung her clothes to dry.
"Huh? My husband is back."
She was busy, bringing tea and water, and then pressing her shoulders.
Zhang Yang sat on the chair, "There are more silver mines over there, and there is also the matter of building a workshop there. I have already asked someone to send the drawings and letters to He Fei. As soon as possible, it will be available by the end of this year.
Send it to Wen Ting."
Li Yue pressed her husband's shoulder. She was in a good mood and had enough foresight. Lishan had plenty of money to spend.
Even building a railway would not be short of money.
With a beautiful smile on her face, she looked at her home with glazed windows, shining in the sunlight, and the lighting in the house was better.
“When I heard that the number of people who were killed was declining, I didn’t know if there were enough people to make cement and glazed glass for our home.”
Zhang Yang smiled and said: "How many people are needed? Ten thousand? Hundreds or thousands of people are enough."
"What do you want to eat tonight, husband?"
As soon as he heard that his wife was going to cook, Zhang Yang's shoulders tensed up and he had to sit up, "Eat..."
"How about some dumplings?"
"Sure enough, it's dumplings again."
Zhang Yang's face looked troubled, and his wife's cooking skills were not superb. Noodles and dumplings were the only things she was good at.
"The dumplings are great. I just want to eat dumplings."
After hearing what her husband said, she was even more satisfied and went to prepare with brisk steps.
Not long after, Zhang Xin'an hurried over and said, "Dad, Mom is going to make dumplings."
Zhang Yang nodded and said, "I know."
“During the Chinese New Year, our family ate dumplings for a month!”
"I also ate."
Zhang Xin'an scratched her head in pain, "Now I want to eat it again, why! It's dumplings again, and they add celery, why!"
"It's good to eat some. Don't say you don't want to eat when you're eating."
"Yeah." He nodded aggrievedly and glanced at his sister.
Zhang Qingqing also came over with a troubled expression, "Why are they dumplings again? Daddy, I want to eat roast duck."
"You two eat the dumplings obediently, and when the night gets late, I'll give you roast duck."
"Thank you dad."
"Don't tell your mother yet."
"Here."
The two siblings reached a consensus on the issue of what to eat.
