The village is full of busy backs.

Everyone has a job to do, although there is not enough manpower, it is easy to use it, and there is no need to recruit more people outside for the time being.

On the roof, the men worked and laid the tiles, and the women handed the tiles up below.

The villagers no longer litter, and a few wooden barrels are placed in the village as garbage cans, and the garbage can be disposed of centrally.

After the rules were set, the villagers consciously acted in accordance with the rules.

Everyone's hygiene concept has also improved a lot unconsciously.

For Niu Chuang, the village changes every day.

There is a chicken pen, a duck pen in the village.

A sow and more than a dozen piglets.

In the past, I thought about what I could eat for the next meal every day, but now I have a full meal, and the whole village is very grateful to this generous horse.

At this moment, six little girls sat in a neat row, each in front of them with a bowl of millet rice, each with a piece of duck meat and half a salted duck egg.

"Thank you to the horse, thank you to Her Royal Highness the princess for allowing us to eat well, the great kindness will be unforgettable in this life!"

After saying that, the six girls feasted on it.

The hard work in the village is done by men, and men are strong laborers.

Men would go out hunting or find work to do, and they were the source of livelihood in the village.

When a boy grows up, he will also be a strong laborer in the future.

So in the village, the girls and women before ate relatively little, and they didn't go hungry.

Now they were able to eat enough, for Her Royal Highness the princess and the horses had given the village money and bought food.

The whole village was grateful to Her Royal Highness the Princess and the pony.

The adults of the village told the young people and children to never forget the kindness of Her Royal Highness and the horses.

In the era of a little ignorance, the people who are a little ignorant, and the simple villagers in the mountains and wilderness are very simple, they can live well, they can have food and clothing, and they can not be frightened, they are very satisfied.

In Zhang Yang's eyes, these ignorant villagers have a lovely energy.

The pony and the princess are the masters of the whole village and the masters of the village.

As long as they can make a good life, they will give them the highest respect, and swear to protect the village, the princess and the pony.

Niu Chuang is a capable man who is very quick in everything.

Today, the main road of the village is very smooth and level, and the road made of gray-black mortar is also very strong, and there will be no puddles in the future.

After walking around here, it was confirmed that Li Tai was still working here.

Zhang Yang walked out of the village with a long list, and the construction of the village is inseparable from building materials.

Especially for stones, most of the good stones near Chang'an City are public, that is, they can only be used in the DPRK and China, and they must find substitutes.

Moreover, the amount of stone needed for the fiefdom was very large.

Not long after I walked out of the village, I saw a person from the Central Plains hurrying over.

Zhang Yang stopped and looked at the other party.

Yan Liben said with a smile on his face: "I see that the little brother came out of the village, are you also from this village?" ”

Looking at this guy, Zhang Yang was vigilant, and his official uniform looked like he was not of low grade.

After the incident of Tian Fu in Lantian County, Zhang Yang did not have a good impression of these officials in the court.

Yan Liben said again: "The old man wants to enter this village, but a group of dolls in the village are beating and smashing stones, and they can't get in." ”

Looking back at the village, Zhang Yang looked calm and did not show any emotion.

"Little brother?" Yan Liben called again.

"I'm not from this village either, I just know the people of this village." Zhang Yang said that he is indeed not from this village, but the whole village belongs to my daughter-in-law.

Yan Liben saluted and said, "Little brother, can you take him into the village?" ”

"Nope."

Hearing such a decisive refusal, Yan Liben was stunned, "I am an official, and I am an official in the court. ”

Zhang Yang looked at his clothes, "Your clothes are of good texture, you can make a good dress when you take it home and change it." ”

Yan Liben looked at him with a blank look in his eyes, what was going on with this young man.

After walking around him, Zhang Yang became more satisfied the more he looked at it, "Give you a hundred dollars, I want your clothes." ”

Yan Liben smiled bitterly, "Little brother, this is the old man's official uniform, and it can't be sold." ”

"Forget it."

After speaking, Zhang Yang got into the carriage and waved the horsewhip.

The horse snorted lazily and walked slowly towards Chang'an City.

Yan Liben was still standing in place, what day is today, what is the matter with this world? What kind of errand did His Majesty give.

It was almost time to arrive at Chang'an City, and Zhang Yang saw a team of officers and soldiers in the distance.

Standing at the forefront is Lee Hyo-gong.

"Phew!" Zhang Yang grabbed the reins of the horse and wanted it to go in a different direction.

Then an arrow came and went into the ground in front of the horse.

This time, the horse didn't move, Zhang Yang waved the whip a few times, and it only stepped on its hooves in place.

"It's too bullying!"

Zhang Yang turned over and walked to the carriage and shouted at Li Xiaogong: "I helped the Ministry of Rites solve the trouble, and I will take revenge on you!" ”

Li Xiaogong stepped forward with a smile, "Go with the old man!" ”

"Not in the mood."

"The old man promoted you to Your Majesty, and the future secretary of the Ministry of Rites may be you."

"Threaten me?"

"Hehehe, what can you do with the old man?"

Damn it! I don't want to live in Chang'an City, so I will move out sooner or later after the fiefdom is built.

Following Li Xiaogong to a high slope, he sat down and looked ahead, "You can sit too." ”

Zhang Yang arched his hand, "If you want to kill or chop, a hundred catties are here." ”

Li Xiaogong's face was displeased, "You are a baby, the old man is reluctant to kill you, let you sit down." ”

Sitting down on the side, the two looked at the scenery in front of them, a large plain in front of them, a small river not far away, and wild flowers and grasses everywhere.

The two of them did not speak for a long time, and were silent.

Zhang Yang began to think about his life, thinking about life is a very meaningful thing, at least it will make you feel that the time you spend is meaningful.

For example, whether you can earn enough money for retirement before the age of 30.

And then how many children?

Or copy a few sage articles, be a saint loved by everyone in Datang, and then return to the mountains and forests, how do you love it in the world.

What a life plan.

Just as he was thinking, a woman walked into the field of vision of the two.

I don't know which village it came from, but the woman was wearing slightly bloated clothes.

When she walks, her crotch twists, probably because of her pants, she can't walk away.

Li Xiaogong's gaze looked at the rest of the woman, "Stinky boy, what do you think of this eldest lady?" ”

Zhang Yang tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Isn't it just an ordinary person, with both hands and feet and a head, there is no difference." ”

Li Xiaogong said again: "You are watching her walk. ”

Zhang Yang frowned, "Like a fat duck?" ”

The woman washed her clothes, then looked around again and saw Li Xiaogong and Zhang Yang on the high slope behind her.

She smiled, then walked away briskly with her basin in her arms.

Kid who doesn't make it will always be a headache.

Li Xiaogong moved the two of them and leaned together, putting one hand on Zhang Yang's shoulder, "I heard that you and Her Royal Highness the princess have been married for more than a year, and you don't have any children?" ”

"King Hejian, how are you gossiping?"

"What is good gossip?"

"It's just nosy."

smiled heartily again, Li Xiaogong said again: "The old man is concerned about you, the things in the sect are all watched by the old man, in addition to the Ministry of Rites, the old man is also the Zongzheng Temple, but he can't take care of you people, you and Her Royal Highness the princess are married but have no heirs, and there are a lot of discussions in the clan." ”

"Let the king of Hejian laugh."

Looking at Li Xiaogong again, Zhang Yang said in a low voice: "How is the matter of resignation arranged?" ”

Li Xiaogong's face was embarrassed, "It's not easy to do, there are few decent talents in the DPRK and China, originally the old man was interested in Cen Wenwen, but this guy is busy compiling some books, and His Majesty still values him very much." ”

"Can't dig it?"

"Otherwise, we might as well burn the government of the Ministry of Rites with a fire." Li Xiaogong said impatiently.

Another warm breeze blew, and seeing that Zhang Yang fell into silence, Li Xiaogong asked, "Why don't you speak?" ”

Zhang Yang said wistfully: "I'm thinking about life. ”

"Do you still have such awareness? Thinking about life? ”

"When you meet such an unreliable boss, can't you think about life?"

"There's another way."

Zhang Yang finally became interested, "Let's hear it." ”

Li Xiaogong tugged at the beard on his chin, "The old man can find someone among the children of the clan, let him join the Ministry of Rites first, you don't usually have a lot of ideas, you let him make a few contributions, Your Majesty will appreciate him when he sees that this person is very capable, maybe we can relax." ”

"You can try." Zhang Yang frowned and said.

"Then it's settled."

In the matter of resignation, the moral bottom line of the two is at the same level.

With the mind that a friend of the dead will not die in the poor way, he will carry out the direction of resignation to the end.

Li Xiaogong said with emotion: "The old man feels that the days are more and more promising. ”

Zhang Yang also stood up, "What we are looking forward to is resignation!" ”

On the way back, Zhang Yang asked in a low voice: "How many people are there in our Ministry of Rites, why do I only see the king of Hejian County and no one else." ”

Li Xiaogong walked slowly, "There are seven people in total, one squire, two sweepers, and two master bookkeepers." ”

"What about the squire?"

"The waiter of the Ministry of Rites is an old man in his sixties, who leaves the house in a daze all day and doesn't know where he is, and he hasn't come to the government for a long time."

The melancholy life was a little more helpless, Zhang Yang sighed: "It turns out that there are only the two of us who can do things, and the official civil officials of the entire Ministry of Rites are only you and me." ”

"Hahaha, otherwise the old man can count on you?" Li Xiaogong laughed.

The government system of the Tang Dynasty is divided into two parts, one is a civilian official and the other is a military general.

In the face of those unreasonable generals who kill talents, civil officials are often very united, usually go up and down together, and even often visit the door to contact feelings.

In contrast, because Li Xiaogong was born as a military general, His Majesty made him a civil official.

Li Xiaogong is a rough person in his bones.

However, His Majesty made him a civil official, and he never let him go home to retire.

As a result, the Ministry of Rites, which is in the civil official faction, has been excluded by other civil officials.

Lee Hyo-kung is lonely among the civilian community.

Military generals and civil officials will argue in the court, and when arguing, the young military generals will suffer first, and generally at this time it will be the link of swearing to each other, if it is not good, the civil officials are not easy to provoke.

Under the martial folk customs, Li Shimin's court has some barbaric atmosphere.

This kind of thing is like a common thing in the Tai Chi Palace.

Every time he is very entangled at that time, the military generals on the other side are brothers, and he is a member of the civil officials, so at this time, he is standing aside and watching things coldly.

Zhang Yang came to the government of the Ministry of Rites for the first time.

Compared with the domineering of the Dali Temple and the government that I saw before.

The Ministry of Rites and the Treasury, which seems to have a lot of small families, can only allow one person to pass through the gates, the Mansion's Mansions are very dim, the books are scattered all over the place, and the sunlight shines in through the windows, and you can see the dust in the air.

Li Xiaogong took out a roster, and some names were written on the roster, "This is the person the old man is looking for these days." ”

Zhang Yang was choked by the dust and coughed easily, and the Ministry of Rites was not even empty of people who watched the government.

I don't know and think it's a utility room.

The two discussed in a low voice for a while, and finally selected a few characters with more honest and wooden personalities.

Li Xiaogong wrote down these names, "Another day, the old man will introduce these people to His Majesty and let them come to the Ministry of Rites." ”

Zhang Yang also agreed.

After walking out of the Ministry of Rites, the two said goodbye.

Zhang Yang walked towards the Suzaku Gate and happened to bump into Li Chengqian again.

Li Chengqian was also surprised, it was really a rare thing to meet Zhang Yang in the imperial city.

"His Royal Highness the Prince." Zhang Yang bowed slightly.

Li Chengqian introduced: "This is Zhao Guogong. ”

Zhang Yang saluted again, "Zhao Guogong." ”

In the imperial city, you can really meet big people casually.

Li Chengqian introduced with some excitement: "This is the person who can negotiate and let the Tang soldiers take the Hexi Corridor without bloodshed." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It's a good son, it's just a pity." ”

Zhang Yang subconsciously asked, "What's a pity?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said in a low voice: "It's a talent, but it's a pity that with the killing talent of the King of Hejian County, sooner or later he will waste himself, and the old man thinks that you should enter the Zhongshu Province to polish it." ”

Damn, it's too late for me to resign, and I still want to go to Zhongshu Province?

Isn't this a promotion?

No, absolutely not.

Zhang Yang said again: "Zhao Guogong doesn't know anything, and he hasn't studied for a few years. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji squinted his eyes and smiled: "You can still make such a contribution without studying for a few years?" ”

"Zhao Guogong misunderstood, this is all a blind cat encountering a dead mouse, and it is the kind of mouse that is completely dead."

"Mouse?"

"I'm not a mouse, then the Tibetan people are rats." Zhang Yang wiped the sweat from his forehead, it was so difficult to explain, and he wrapped himself in.

The eldest grandson Wuji patted Zhang Yang's shoulder, "Honor and disgrace are not shocked, and being so humble is a talent that can be created, the old man is waiting for your performance in the court in the future." ”

While speaking, the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Chengqian walked to the East Palace.

Before leaving, Li Chengqian gave an encouraging look.

I really can't be an official, I have no experience, and if I don't do it well, it's easy to fall to the ground, and the risk is too great.

I'm still a good person to do business.

Uh-huh.

As soon as I walked out of the Suzaku Gate, I bumped into another person.

Xu Jingzong stood here with a smile on his face.

How did this man haunt him?
