A piece of positive development is always the most comfortable.

He talked to Niu Chuang about further planning, and Zhang Yang said to him: "Don't be reluctant to spend the money I gave you, so that everyone can eat better." ”

Niu Chuang nodded and was moved in his heart, where did he go to meet such a kind master.

Thinking of the hard days in the past, Niu Chuang's eyes couldn't help but redden, "Brother Xiao Zhang, don't worry, we will definitely do things well." ”

Zhang Yang also wrote slogans on the walls of some houses, "Everyone is safe, and thousands of families are happy." ”

Then he instructed Niu Chuang: "Our construction must continue, and safety is easy to grasp, and it is okay to spend more manpower and time, and we must pay attention to safety." ”

Niu Chuang wrote down Zhang Yang's words.

A thriving look, looking at it makes people feel beautiful.

Carrying a basket of duck eggs, Zhang Yang also got into the carriage and went home.

Li Tai's sedan also followed.

Back at the gate of the city, Zhang Yang was about to enter the city.

"The surname is Zhang, don't forget!"

A shout came from behind Li Tai.

This little fat man is really going to lose weight, and it's not a good thing to be so fat at a young age.

When I was about to walk to the house, a large Kong Ming lantern had just risen from the yard, and I could see it from the alley.

There is also a chicken fluttering its wings on the basket of Kong Ming lantern.

The chicken's feet were tied to the basket, and it kept fluttering, and it couldn't fly out of the basket.

Seeing Zhang Yang walking to the door, Li Yue said happily: "Look, that chicken is flying." ”

"It's not the chicken that flies, it's the Kong Ming lantern that flies." Zhang Yang corrected.

The experiment went one step further.

The success of the hot air balloon is also getting closer and closer.

Zhang Yang was faintly worried in his heart, this time his daughter-in-law put a chicken on the Kong Ming lantern, and he didn't know how frightened the chicken was on it.

I don't dare to think about what my daughter-in-law will put on it next time.

Li Yue looked at his own Kong Ming lantern happily, "It's so good, I've made some progress." ”

A little bit of progress every day can make her happy.

Aunt Wang and Aunt Yang also stood aside.

Salted duck eggs are a rare delicacy, and Zhang Yang washed a basket of duck eggs.

Li Yue walked in small steps and wondered, "Are these duck eggs also used to eat?" ”

"Isn't it used to hatch ducks?"

Li Yue stuck out his tongue, and said in his heart that he did say a nonsense, "What do you want to help." ”

Zhang Yang looked at the yellow mud in the vegetable field in the yard and said, "Go get some yellow mud." ”

Put the washed duck eggs in the sun first.

Then put salt in a basin of water and stir until the salt is dissolved, use yellow mud and thin puree, and spread it on the surface of the duck eggs.

Place in a small wooden box and close the lid.

"We'll be able to eat salted duck eggs in a few days."

"Hmm."

I don't know if the salted duck eggs are delicious or not, Li Yue nodded first.

A few more days passed in the peaceful days, and every day Li Yue was full of expectations for her garden.

The cake business is also getting more and more profits.

Every night, you can always hear the sound of shoveling soil in the yard, and this sound is strange and scary in the middle of the night.

The days in the palace have finally improved.

Empress Changsun sat on the side and coaxed Li Zhi to sleep.

Li Shimin drank gruel and accompanied some jerky, and now His Majesty also eats very diligently and thriftily, and the eunuchs who are waiting on the side are also moved by His Majesty's frugal behavior.

Biting the jerky, Li Shimin's mood was not very good, thinking that I had lived such a hard life, my son-in-law had earned so much money and was a big fish and meat all day long, and Li Tai, a kid, was estimated to be able to count the money every day until he woke up with a smile.

I took another sip of porridge, and my life was too difficult.

A penny can stump a hero, Li Shimin looked at the chapter, and then remembered that the DPRK and the Central Committee were going to make a fortune again.

Li Shimin was upset, short of money, too short of money.

The last time I played cards with Zhang Yang, I lost a lot of money.

I can't afford to eat.

Want to eat roast duck!

Li Shimin opened his mouth and said: "Guanyin, did you get the money for the cake a few days ago?" ”

Empress Changsun nodded and said, "It's already here, a total of five hundred." ”

Five hundred is not a lot.

As soon as Li Shimin wanted to say something, Empress Eldest Sun said first: "This money should be kept for the concubines in the palace." ”

After taking another bite of the jerky, Li Shimin said again: "Isn't the soap business very good recently?" ”

Empress Eldest Sun nodded, "Recently, Qingque's soap workshop has made a few new flavors of soap, and they are selling well. ”

"That money ......"

"The money still has to make new clothes for Cheng Qian and Qingque, and last year's clothes can't be worn again."

"Then the money of our inner house ......"

"Those money concubines want to keep for Cheng Qian's future marriage."

Li Shimin: "......"

Empress Changsun is in control of the harem, and it seems that she still can't get money here in the harem.

It is said that it is so beautiful to be an emperor.

But who knows how sad my life is, the court is short of money, and the harem can't get money.

Li Shimin sighed and could only eat dried meat to survive.

On the Tuyuhun battlefield west of Chang'an City, Songtsen Gampo listened to the battle report, and won the battle one after another, destroying 5,000 Tuyuhun people and taking another territory.

Songtsam cadres also received a message from Lu Dongzan.

Formal negotiations with Datang began, and the results of the first talks were not good, and Datang did not agree to Tubo's conditions, nor did he agree to Tuyuhun's conditions.

It was the most critical time of the war, and Songtsen Gampo was also worried about whether the Tang Dynasty would send troops to help Tuyuhun.

Now he can only trust Lu Dongzan's ability.

Songtsen Gampo looked to the east and whispered; "Datang! I really want to see how strong they are. ”

Now Songtsen Gampo has a high fighting spirit in his heart.

"Zampu, we caught a Central Plains monk." A Tibetan warrior came with Tang Xuanzang.

Tang Xuanzang is very embarrassed now, and the monk's robe is also tattered.

finally escaped from the hands of Tuyuhun, and now it has fallen into the hands of the Tubo people.

As soon as he got out of the tiger's den and entered the wolf's den, Tang Xuanzang was sad in his heart and recited the Buddha's name.

Songtsen Gampo was very curious about the monk in front of him, and said in Guanzhong dialect: "I have long heard that there is a monk from the Central Plains who walked out of the Hexi Corridor and headed west, but I didn't expect to see one." ”

Tang Xuanzang closed his eyes and said with a pious face: "The poor monk only hopes that you can all put down the butcher's knife." ”

Songtsen Gampo said, "This is compassion? ”

Tang Xuanzang nodded, opened his eyes and said, "How many lives have died on the battlefield, why bother." ”

If you master Tuyuhun, you can take the Hexi Corridor and control the Western Regions, Songtsen Gampo is young and vigorous, and he is even ready to go to war with the Tang Dynasty.

At this time, Songtsen Gampo did not want to put down the butcher's knife at all, and when the war reached this point, Tubo took a step back, and Tuyuhun would go further.

"Take him down and take good care of him, and give him something to eat and drink." Songtsen Gampo said to the warriors beside him.

Tang Xuanzang was taken to a camp, and it seems that the Tubo people have no intention of killing themselves.

After eating and drinking, Tang Xuanzang looked at the ignorant Tubo people, and the dedication in his heart rose again, maybe he could start his career in Tubo again.

A few days later, Songtsen Gampo received another thing that worried him, and the Tian Khan of the Tang Dynasty had sent another army to Liangzhou.

This does not bode well.

Songtsen Gampo could only wait for the next news from Lu Dongzan.

Chang'an arrived in February, and the warm sun shone on Chang'an City.

The second meeting arranged by the DPRK and China has finally begun again.

Early in the morning, Zhang Yang was called to the post house by the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

This time, Li Xiaogong didn't have the intention of tearing Zhang Yang alive, but the more he looked at him, the more satisfied he became.

Zhang Yang said in a low voice: "King Hejian County, why do you keep looking at me? ”

Li Xiaogong became more and more suspicious in his heart, "Haven't we really seen it anywhere else?" ”

"There is a public face underneath, and anyone who looks at it will feel familiar."

Perfunctory! That's right, this kid is perfunctory to this king, and he is perfunctory with what he said last time, and he doesn't even have a perfunctory word with his brain.

Li Xiaogong had a feeling of being looked down upon by young people in his heart.

Li Chengqian and Wei Chigong also arrived.

A few people sat down first.

Li Xiaogong sat on the top seat as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the last time he thought about eating wine and meat at the same time, he fooled around with the envoys of the two countries.

I didn't expect that although this horse was a low-ranking and inconspicuous civil official, he could say that the Tubo envoy and the Tuyuhun envoy were speechless.

Unexpectedly, there were some surprises and surprises.

It seems that this person may have really offended His Majesty, so he gave it to a petty official, and as a colt, he would be a squire anyway.

This time, only Adalan, the messenger of Tuyuhun, came.

Tubo's prime minister, Lu Dongzan, is still considering the conditions for Datang.

Li Xiaogong said to Zhang Yang: "This time you will preside. ”

After the last incident, Li Xiaogong simply handed over the matter to this kid.

With such a good baby, it is natural to make good use of it.

Tuyuhun's envoy Adalan bowed and saluted, "Last time we were poorly prepared, this time we have rethought the conditions. ”

Zhang Yang said with a smile: "Last time we didn't know each other, we didn't blame each other for the previous things, we Central Plains people are very generous, this time your conditions can't be as stingy as last time." ”

Adalan's heart is very conflicted, the figure in front of him looks young, but it is definitely not easy to deal with.

With the survival of the entire Tuyuhun at stake, Adalan did not dare to be careless.

After sitting down, Aranda said in a low voice: "This time we are not only proposing a covenant and an oath, we are willing to sacrifice half of the land in the Hexi Corridor to Datang, and offer treasures and jades, and ask Datang to send troops to help us." ”

Not only the land, but also the treasure.

Li Xiaogong thought in his heart that this time the other party's sincerity was much greater than last time.

Standing in place, Zhang Yang seemed to be thinking and hesitating.

Seeing that the other party hesitated, Adalan saw that the heat was almost over, and hurriedly said: "This time we Tuyuhun is very sincere. ”

Li Xiaogong also felt good, and seeing that Zhang Yang was slow to answer, he was a little impatient.

The room was quiet again.

Zhang Yang sighed: "The conditions of the noble envoy are indeed good, but they are not thoughtful enough." ”

"What?"

Adalan was stunned, "Isn't that enough?" You Datang are greedy, is this really what Tian Khan means? ”

The guy in the store is very sensible, and this time, needless to say, he consciously poured a glass of boiled water for Zhang Yang.

This young man negotiated with these foreign envoys for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, and said to ordinary people that such people were no different from heroes.

The guys up and down the post house have indescribable respect for Zhang Yang.

After taking a sip of boiling water, Zhang Yang said patiently: "How can you say that we are greedy, now you are begging us to help Tuyuhun, and you still say that Tian Khan, since you think we are greedy, why don't you end the negotiation?" We would also be happy to talk to the Tibetan envoys. ”

In fact, Tuyuhun's conditions are indeed very good.

Li Xiaogong coughed his throat and kept throwing his eyes at Zhang Yang, he couldn't force people too hard.

Adalan lowered his head and saluted again, "The foreign minister is too anxious, please forgive me." ”

After speaking, he saluted in the direction of Taiji Hall, saluted in the direction of Tuyuhun, and saluted Li Xiaogong.

Li Chengqian could also see that this Adalan was apologizing on the surface, and the hostility and impatience in this person's eyes could not be hidden.

Zhang Yang continued: "Let's tell you this, we can only help one side between Tuyuhun and Tubo, your envoy said to give us half of the land in the Hexi Corridor, this is in conflict with the words of the Tubo envoy, the Tubo people can give us half of your Tuyuhun territory, and the entire Hexi Corridor is also in it." ”

"Please also ask Datang not to rush to the aid of Tubo...... "Adalan is really anxious this time, anxious and angry, and there is nothing to do about Datang.

Zhang Yang took another sip of boiling water and said: "I'll make an analogy, for example, our Datang helps Tubo, after destroying your Tuguhun, you can get the entire Hexi Corridor, why do we still want half of the Hexi Corridor you give, if your envoy can only give this kind of condition, our Datang might as well cooperate with Tubo." ”

Adalan fell silent again, he swallowed his saliva, and said that the people of the Central Plains are very powerful and wise, and this time they really saw it.

In front of this young man, he can't get any benefit at all.

Li Xiaogong thought about it and was right! Tubo has said that the entire territory of Tuyuhun can be divided equally, why do you need half of the Hexi Corridor?

Straightening his sitting posture, Li Xiaogong said: "Your envoy should pay attention to his words, Tian Khan is not something you can talk about." ”

For the sake of the survival of the entire Tuyuhun, Adalan kept apologizing.

I almost knelt down and kowtowed on the spot.

Zhang Yang said: "Do you have any other conditions for us?" ”

Adalan was now in a dilemma, he gritted his teeth and said: "Since you are not satisfied with what you say, it is better for Datang to put forward conditions." ”

Zhang Yang shook his head again, "We still have to see what conditions the Tibetan envoy can give us, as for which side to help, it is not up to us to decide, but also after consultation between the DPRK and China, what I can tell you now is that the court will only help the party with greater benefits, do you understand what I mean?" ”

"Understood."

This time Adalan was much more honest.

A guard walked into the room and whispered a few words to Li Xiaogong.

Li Xiaogong said: "The hour is not early, let's rest for the time being, Lu Dongzan will come in the afternoon, and we will talk to the Tibetan envoy at that time." ”
