Chapter 160: Digging up the Dirt and Digging for Money
In the eyes of other women in Chang'an City, this man was simply sick.
Li Yue hammered Zhang Yang twice with his fist to express his dissatisfaction.
When the couple returned home, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the sound of the rain constantly hitting the roof was clear and beautiful.
The two aunts returned home.
Li Yue sat under the oil lamp and looked at the scroll very attentively.
"It's been more than half an hour." Zhang Yang said while doing carpentry.
"Then I'll rest my eyes for a while." Li Yue closed his eyes and lay on the couch stretching his limbs.
The rainwater outside was already leaking through the windows.
The husband's craftsmanship is very good, and after renovating the home, no matter how strong the wind and rain outside, the home is still as warm.
It is dangerous to ascend to the sky, and after the success of the experiment, I don't want to overlook Chang'an City, just like I have reached a certain level, and I am bored with my previous goal.
Li Yue closed his eyes and whispered, "Husband, do you really want the whole Lishan?" ”
Zhang Yang nodded, clamped one end of the rope with homemade furniture, and then straightened the rope through the badminton racket, but the rope escaped from the clamp again and again, which was very annoying.
"Yan Liben is doing things so hard that he has made two or three things that he hasn't made until now." Zhang Yang counted impatiently.
Li Yue turned over, she was lying on her side with her head in one hand and looked at her husband, "But if you want to win the entire Lishan Mountain, how much credit does your husband have to make?" Expanding the territory? ”
Zhang Yang gave up and casually threw away the rope in his hand, "It's really not okay to put a knife on the emperor's neck to blackmail him, and by the way, he wants thousands of acres of land." ”
"Thousands of acres?"
"6,000 acres of land used to grow grain should be enough for us to eat." Zhang Yang opened the door of the house, washed his hands with the wooden bucket that received the rainwater outside the house, and then poured the rainwater and reconnected the water.
"The sage said that a scholar cannot fail to Hongyi, and there is a long way to go. Benevolence is its own responsibility, isn't it also important? Death is gone, isn't it far away? ”
Zhang Yang yawned, "I didn't want to be a gentleman." ”
Li Yue's face was entangled, to say that his husband's ambitions are very lofty and he also has tenacious qualities, but he thinks more about himself, and he does not have the ambitions that a scholar and gentleman should have.
The husband is really a very contradictory person.
Li Yue said again: "At night, I want to sleep with my husband." ”
"Nope."
Zhang Yang refused very decisively.
Li Yue snorted coldly and returned to his room.
The next day, the rain was still a little dripping in the morning.
Zhang Yang hurriedly came to Chengtian Gate, and Xu Jingzong also stepped on the point of opening the door.
The Chengtian Gate slowly opened.
In the past few years, it has not been said that everyone can accurately determine their time to a few minutes and seconds.
Xu Jingzong can step on the point of opening the door every time he is neither morning nor evening to come to the Chengtian Gate to go to court, how did this guy do it.
Zhang Yang walked silently with his hands in his sleeves.
Xu Jingzong whispered, "Zhang Shilang, it is said that Shangguan Yi's father, Shangguan Hong, was killed in Jiangdu. ”
"I know." Zhang Yang still walked expressionlessly.
When I came to the court, the early court still started according to the old time.
Li Shimin listened to the explanations of the civil officials of various ministries and looked at Zhang Yang in the court.
The kid was breathing slowly with his eyes closed, shaking from time to time and straightening his body, obviously sleeping.
The court also inquired about Zhang Yang's origins, because of the war, he followed a group of displaced people in Chang'an City from the beginning of the Wude period.
At that time, he was a maverick and was often ostracized by other homeless people, so he has stayed in Chang'an ever since.
Zhang Yang's background is as simple as that, there are many homeless people like this kind of homeless, and it is very slow and tossing to investigate.
Besides, this is still a matter of my father's generation, and at that time, the civil strife in the Central Plains had not yet been calmed, and it was not uncommon for displaced people to be displaced.
Li Shimin was even more surprised by Zhang Yang's age, he was only a weak crown year, even if a person started learning at the age of ten, the knowledge he could understand was limited, and the skills he could learn were also limited.
Mathematics, medicine, craftsmanship, and even eating.
If a person knows everything and has a certain level of attainment, then this person must be a person with university questions.
But if a young man with a weak crown has such ability, then this person is a demon.
How could a young man who had just reached the age of a weak crown still be able to guide Li Chunfeng in mathematics, and even comprehend the nine chapters of mathematics, or even a higher realm of mathematics?
Just like Li Chunfeng's mastery of the Great Yan Seeking One Technique, this kind of mathematical technique is in the realm of great achievement.
Today's early dynasty is not a big deal, and the death of the Turkic Khan and the pacification of the Turks have also been sent over.
The spring rain outside the temple has stopped, and the sun is falling outside the temple.
After listening to the report on the last thing in the DPRK, Li Shimin left the DPRK early.
Zhang Yang followed Yan Liben's footsteps, "Master Yan, haven't my things been cast yet?" ”
Yan Liben stroked his beard and smiled awkwardly, "It will take some time." ”
Zhang Yang was entangled: "If there is any problem that the Ministry of Industry can't solve, I can also help." ”
"That's not true, please wait a little longer."
"Then I'll wait."
Yan Liben's expression was solemn, and he hurriedly returned to the government of the Ministry of Industry.
Qin Qiong took Yu Chigong to his mansion.
Seeing Qin Qiong dancing with a horizontal knife, Yu Chigong said.
After dancing for a while, Qin Qiong put away the horizontal knife in his hand and handed it to Yu Chigong.
Wei Chigong looked at the knife and said in surprise: "The casting technology of this knife is superb, and it is often accompanied by knife soldiers. ”
Qin Qiong nodded and sat down, Wei Chigong is a person who understands knives.
"This knife is a gift from the king of Hejian County, saying that he hopes that XX's condition can get better as soon as possible, and a good knife will cut off the pain."
Wei Chigong handed the knife back.
Qin Qiong took the horizontal knife in his hand: "The handle of this knife is longer than that of an ordinary horizontal knife, and it is easy to use, but it is a little impractical in terms of slashing and slashing, and those who want to cast it also have other ideas." ”
Wei Chigong was puzzled: "Who forged this knife?" ”
Qin Qiong still shook his head, "At the beginning, Li Xiaogong planned to look for the casting person again, but the person is no longer there, and even the casting master has left Chang'an City, and now he doesn't know where to go." ”
Wei Chi sighed: "It's a pity. ”
A few bird chirpings came from the mansion, and when the weather cleared, Suzaku Street outside returned to its usual liveliness.
Qin Qiong said in a low voice, "When Zhang Shilang came to the mansion and saw this horizontal knife, he also looked at it intently, maybe he also fell in love with this knife, but he was just not good at words." ”
"That Zhang Shilang doesn't look like a person who can use a knife." Wei Chigong shook his head.
Qin Qiong put the horizontal knife on the table, "If his condition can get better, why not give him this knife." ”
Wei Chigong patted his thigh, "It's a pity, why did this kid go to the Ministry of Rites." ”
Qin Qiong also agreed, "Why did it fall into the hands of Li Xiaogong." ”
Both of them looked sad and drank all the wine in their glasses.
Zhang Yang returned home, anyway, Li Yue was digging the yard of the house with his two aunts.
Several pits were dug and silver coins were placed in them.
Li Yue wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Husband is back." ”
Zhang Yang was surprised: "Our family is going to re-lay the foundation?" ”
Li Yue grinned and said: "These two days are the rainy season, and the silver coins buried in the ground will become moldy when wet, so we want to dig them out and dig them out again." ”
Zhang Yang nodded slightly, "I thought I was going to lay the foundation?" Scared me. ”
Pulled Zhang Yang to the house and sat down, Li Yue's little face still had some mud, and Zhang Yang helped her wipe it.
Li Yue smiled: "It'll be fine right away." ”
Zhang Yang sat for a while and then stood up, "I'll go and make lunch first." ”
Crossing the small pits, Zhang Yang came to the earthen stove to cook, scooping water and washing the pot for cooking.
Looking back at the yard again, the entire yard was turned over with a layer of soil.
How much money did the daughter-in-law bury at home, and she was speechless for a while.
The two aunts took out all the money in the pit and filled in the original pit.
Li Yue picked up some copper coins that fell on the ground, and then wiped them, she treated every penny very carefully.
Zhang Yang watched the three of them busy.
Some of the copper coins are noticeably a bit greenish.
After taking out all the silver coins buried in the yard, looking at the mountains piled up, Li Yue's little face was full of a sense of accomplishment.
Bags of silver were packed in burlap bags, and they were built up beyond the courtyard walls.
From last year to now, she has been able to save so much money, and Zhang Yang didn't expect it.
The two aunts were busy for a long time before filling in all the soil in the yard.
A large cloth was spread out in the yard, spilling all the copper coins, and then spreading all over the yard, and the copper coins reflected the sunlight a little dazzling.
Zhang Yang brought the dishes to the table and saw Li Yue lying on these copper coins rolling around happily.
Rolling on the pile of money is a great sense of happiness for her.
Zhang Yang put the dishes and chopsticks down, "Look at your clothes, they're going to be dirty." ”
"It's old clothes, they can be washed."
"You're lying like this and you're going to catch a cold."
"Let me lie down a little longer."
Li Yue lay on the copper coin, enjoying the warmth of the sun shining on his body, "Husband, we have 23,640 silver coins, and we are also a big family." ”
She remembers that there are bits and pieces.
"Well, it's still a long way from my retirement goal." Zhang Yang eats his meal.
Li Yue stood up and returned to his room, then changed into clean clothes and sat down to eat.
Zhang Yang sandwiched a piece of mutton to her, "I miss the beef eaten in the palace." ”
Today's national policies are biased towards agriculture, and the people take food as their sky, and food is their top priority for the people.
Naturally, arable land is also a top priority.
For example, ploughing is a scarcity of cattle.
If something happens to the cattle in that village, they must be held accountable.
Even a cow has to be borrowed from several villages.
Cattle are hard, and when the farming season is busy, it is also the busiest time for cattle.
I just think about eating beef, and I don't know if someone's cow will break its leg and then the whole village will eat beef together.
Aunt Yang, who was standing outside the door, walked over, "Your Royal Highness the Princess, the concubine, the county magistrate of Lantian County is here." ”
"What is the county leader of Lantian County doing?"
Because of Tian Fu last time, Li Yue didn't have a good impression of an official like the county Cheng.
After the last incident, the old county of Lantian County is already old, and now he has changed to a county leader.
Aunt Yang explained: "Because the entire Lantian County is the food of Her Royal Highness the Princess, the county magistrates of Lantian County are here to hand in the roster and field register. ”
Li Yue looked at Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang swallowed the millet rice in his mouth, "Let him go and talk to Niu Chuang, and leave all the food affairs in Lantian County to him in the future." ”
Li Yue smiled, "Listen to your husband." ”
"I know you don't want to see outsiders." Zhang Yang put another piece of mutton into her bowl.
Li Yue whispered: "The family has so much money, but it can't be seen." ”
Aunt Yang walked outside the door again and took the person away.
Now Li Yue is not only a little rich woman, but also a princess of the entire Lantian County.
It's not just the family's 20,000 yuan of silver, this girl herself doesn't know how big her wealth is now.
After the meal, the couple took out the clothes and bedding at home to wash and wash.
Taking advantage of the good sunshine now, it is the rainy season in Guanzhong, and I am afraid that the next few days will be rainy days again.
Pull up ropes between the fence and the eaves.
In this way, Li Yue can hang up his clothes and bedding, and the space in the yard can also be fully utilized.
Li Yue took out some toys and books in her room again, and then she took herself too.
Sunlight has always been necessary for life, and with sunshine everything will be warm.
Aunt Wang came to the courtyard with a person, and Li Yue discussed with the visitor, meaning that she wanted to exchange all these copper coins for silver cakes, so that they would be easy to preserve.
The person who came was a eunuch in the palace, and he was also sent by the queen.
Li Yue frowned and said: "Why do you have to take me an extra 200 yuan when you exchange 20,000 yuan for silver cakes." ”
The old eunuch smiled bitterly, "Go back to Her Royal Highness the Princess, this is the rule, even if Her Royal Highness the Princess goes outside to change it, it will be like this, and it will be even more." ”
Zhang Yang said to him: "We still come according to the original price, 20,000 yuan was 20,000 yuan of silver cake before." ”
The old eunuch looked a little flustered, "The rule has always been like this, and the old slave can't call the shots alone. ”
"The queen also has a lot of business with us, why don't we pay the extra 200 yuan in the queen's account first, and every time we change 10,000 yuan in the future, this account will be 100 yuan less on the queen's side, so that the price is still 200 yuan, and your accounts are still unchanged, and we need it for a long time, and there are so many business dealings, I don't know what to do?"
The old eunuch thought for a while and then saluted, "Then let's do this for the time being, the old slave will go and let people get silver cakes to exchange with Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”
Waiting for the old eunuch to leave, Li Yue whispered: "These eunuchs are really shrewd. ”
Copper coins are certainly not as valuable as silver cakes.
In the purchase and sale of goods, only the value of silver cakes is more stable, and copper coins are inferior to silver cakes in terms of value preservation, circulation and storage.
However, the eunuch moved quickly, and the two sides exchanged silver cakes and copper coins.
