Chapter 119: Xiao Wu Goes Home
Feng Ang left, this time just to express his gratitude. Of course, this is also the proper meaning, although there are immortals above the imperial power in this era, but the imperial power is the imperial power after all.
And he, Feng An, is now a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, and the way of being a minister should be adhered to. This is also the princes in the court, who are respectful to Lu Hanyang, but they don't really want to obey Lu Hanyang's orders.
Lu Hanyang knew this, and Li Er also knew that they maintained this tacit understanding between each other. Imperial power is a little lower than divine power, but divine power cannot interfere in the realm of imperial power.
And Lu Hanyang is not that kind of person, he can enjoy leisure in Yushan easily and happily, who is willing to work hard. Unless Datang really encounters an unsolvable crisis, such as a natural disaster.
Of course, there are man-made disasters, but if the Tang Dynasty is politically clear, the king is wise. Then Lu Hanyang will stand on the side of the Tang Dynasty, if it is really the corruption of the imperial court, then Lu Hanyang will stand on the side of the people.
The real dynasty that has been around for thousands of years is not nothing, but it is definitely not a tyranny that is cruel to the people. Therefore, Lu Hanyang's position is not on the side of those in power, but to see which side can be more conducive to the inheritance of the Chinese nation.
Everything has nothing to do with intimacy, after all, Lu Hanyang came to Datang alone, and he has not completely integrated into this world, which can be seen from the fact that there are only two little girls around him.
Only innocent children can make Lu Hanyang accept them, and those adults who already have their own outlook on life and values often Lu Hanyang will not be welcome.
Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng are both talented people, and even the two most capable Taoist priests in the early Tang Dynasty, but Lu Hanyang's attitude towards them can be seen. Yuan Tiangang is now the leader of the Eight Views Palace, and it can be said that he has completely taken over the order of the Eight Views Palace.
But he is not the one who is really accepted by Lu Hanyang, Li Chunfeng is obsessed with all kinds of research, whether it is the astronomical calendar, or arithmetic geometry, or the pinyin dictionary that he is doing now, etc.
These are the things that Lu Hanyang attaches more importance to, as for the Bajing Palace, it is just a Taoist temple, except for the special location of Yushan, which makes Lu Hanyang care, Yuan Tiangang is really not as good as Li Chunfeng.
However, in the eyes of outsiders, Yuan Tiangang was very valued by Lu Hanyang, and most of the rights of Bajing Palace were given to him.
Time passed like this, and Lu Hanyang taught the two little girls to know the pinyin alphabet every day, and learned addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of primary school mathematics. There is also playing everywhere, saying what you see, such as what grass grows in, what birds can fly into the sky, and so on.
In short, what to see and say, because these things that Lu Hanyang said are all interesting to the two little guys, so they also remember it in their hearts, and they unconsciously know a lot about these knowledge. Even more than the ministers of the DPRK and China know, but they don't show it.
At the beginning of the new snowfall, Lu Hanyang gave the two little girls a holiday as usual, and let the two little girls go home for two days every ten days.
The two carriages were heading towards Chang'an, and along the way, they saw people entering Chang'an City or buying New Year's goods, or selling things, and the two little girls lifted the curtain on the carriage and looked out of the window.
This is a very novel thing for the two little girls, who are young and have always had a curiosity about the world around them. Looking at the people coming and going, Xiao Wu saw a lot of new things.
"Look, what is that man carrying? It looks like a tiger! Xiao Wu stretched out his small hand and pointed to a stout person dressed as a hunter outside.
This is a hunter who sells tiger skins for food, and as a hunter in the mountains, he can hunt tigers, which can be described as a very good hunter. And this Orion is also a relatively flamboyant personality, and he directly used some dry grass to prop up the tiger skin, as if he was carrying a tiger.
"That's a tiger skin, not a tiger, and a tiger eats people." Li Lizhen said to Xiao Wu.
"Lizhi, how about we buy the tiger skin?" Xiao Wu said.
"What do you sit on when you buy tiger skins? There are a lot of these things in the palace, and there are also them in the Yingguo Mansion! Li Li wondered.
"Make a gift for the immortal master on the first day! We haven't given a gift to the immortal master yet. Xiao Wu said.
"Okay...... But Xiao Wu, did you bring any money? Li Lizhi thought about it, the two of them really hadn't given Lu Hanyang a gift, so they readily agreed, but then found that the two little girls didn't have the habit of going out with money.
"No, Xiao Wu is so poor, and the family's monthly money is stored in his mother's." Xiao Wu lowered his head and said.
"I didn't bring any money, otherwise I wouldn't need to change this jade pendant of mine!" Li Lizhi had a jade pendant tied around her waist, which was given to her by Li Er, and it was her favorite jade pendant.
The carriage stopped, and Xiao Wu and Li Lizhen went to exchange with the hunter who sold tiger skins.
Although Li Lizhi liked the jade pendant very much, she still took it out, after all, this was the first time she and Xiao Wu wanted to buy something for the immortal master.
Xiao Wu and Li Lizhi got into the carriage with the tanned tiger skin, and the two little girls first helped the master inspect the goods, threw the tiger skin into the carriage, and then played a game of turning the flower rope on it.
The carriage walked all the way to the city gate, and at this time, the laughter and laughter of Xiao Wu's two little girls came out of the carriage, like wind chimes, which made people feel happy.
"You...... What do you do in town? "A soldier in armor interrogates a child in a bullock cart with a strong man.
"Go into the city and sell charcoal!" A teenager was dressed in coarse cloth and had a pair of tattered cloth shoes underneath his feet. The toes were exposed, and the snow was muddy and the original fabric color was no longer visible.
"This cow seems to belong to the old Tang family, so you are his cub?" The soldier looked at the cow and asked.
"Yes, my dad was in a hurry to burn charcoal yesterday and was busy until the third watch, so I came to sell charcoal today." The little child replied.
"You kid sells charcoal, don't be sold." Looking at the little guy holding the cow, the soldier laughed, and then gave the kid a direct slap on the head.
"Leave the charcoal behind, and go over there to get the money!" As he spoke, the soldier stopped the ox cart.
"But my father said that this charcoal is to be sent to Li Yuanwai's house in the east of the city, and I can't sell it to you here." The boy said, and then insisted on going into the city.
"Really? You know that our general ordered that these things were asked by Zuo Qianniuwei for the officers and men of the army to heat themselves in winter, and they specially asked that the price of this charcoal be three points higher than the market price. Why are you so ignorant? The soldier said.
He is very familiar with the charcoal burner of the old Tang, and for so many years, the old Tang will go into the city to sell charcoal every winter, so with such a good thing, he wants to help this familiar charcoal burner.
The price is three points higher than the market, and the price of a cart of charcoal is enough to buy an extra bucket of grain, and grain is still relatively scarce at this time. Because of the severe drought in Guanzhong this year, the output has been reduced. Therefore, the price of rice in Chang'an City has risen a lot.
