Zhang Gongjin pointed to Zhang Daxiang, who was standing outside the door, and asked in a low voice, "Look at him standing outside the door and moving, and guarding the gate so seriously, you don't look like a fool." ”

"Huh? Isn't he the teacher's son? Zhang Yang was surprised.

"Yes, the old man looks at him like a fool."

"Why should the teacher say this about his son, even though the student is not familiar with him." Zhang Yang pondered, "It makes people think that the teacher is a fool, which makes outsiders not good to evaluate." ”

"The child was born by the mother-in-law, what does it have to do with the old man."

Hearing him say this, Zhang Yang was speechless for a while.

Zhang Gongjin stroked his beard and smiled, "The elephant has been in the court longer than yours, and some rules in the court can also go to consult with him more, don't be like killing people and disobey at every turn, that's what Cheng Yanjin will do, how can a civil official not look like a civil official." ”

"Ahem...... Zhang Yang cleared his throat vigorously, "This is all known to the teacher." ”

"What's more, the old man knows, it has spread all over the government and the opposition, and it has become a joke among the courtiers, and a fool in the Ministry of Rites said a word of disobedience? What a shameful thing, don't do it in the future, save some face for the old man. ”

"The student understood."

"The old man will take his leave first." Zhang Gongjin stood up.

"This is a recipe, please accept it, teacher."

Zhang Gongjin took the recipe and put it in his arms, "Next month, a family banquet will be held at the old man's house, and you and Her Royal Highness the princess will come together." ”

"The students got it."

Zhang Yang accompanied him to the door of his house.

Zhang Gongjin's steps were very slow, and he seemed to have some difficulty walking.

Zhang Daxiang lowered his body and slowly lifted his back.

"Let's go, fool." Zhang Gongjin whispered on his back.

Zhang Daxiang took a step.

The father and son quickly walked out of the small courtyard.

Li Yue stood aside and watched.

"An elder who is dying soon asked me to get close to his son, is this Tuogu?"

"Even if you are a teacher, you can't entrust it to you, and you have no power or power."

"That's right."

The couple returned to the courtyard.

Three days later, Zhang Daxiang successfully became the head of the household.

In order to congratulate Zhang Yang, he brought some tea eggs and sat at the door of the household with Xu Jingzong to eat.

Soon Zhang Daxiang walked out of the household, and he looked at Zhang Yang, "Do you know that eating at the door of someone else's mansion is a very rude thing?" If you do this in Dali Temple, you will be arrested and imprisoned. ”

Xu Jingzong coughed violently as soon as he swallowed a mouthful of tea eggs.

Zhang Yang wiped his hands with Xu Jingzong's cuffs.

provoked the corners of Xu Jingzong's mouth to twitch, "Zhang Shilang, the lower official only has such an official uniform." ”

Zhang Yang sighed, "I only have one official uniform, and you asked me to wipe my hands there." ”

Xu Jingzong nodded slightly, "That's right." ”

Looking at the two of them, if it weren't for his father's instructions, Zhang Daxiang really wanted to pick up a stick and drive these two away.

Zhang Yang stood up and handed him two tea eggs, "I really can't find an excuse to invite you out, so I can only make this decision." ”

"You're not making a decision, you're making trouble."

Zhang Elephant still has a straight face.

Look at this guy's thick eyebrows and big eyes, his eyes don't have much wisdom, but he has some beards and pretends to be old-fashioned.

"Congratulations to Brother Elephant for being promoted to the head of the household."

"You're here to celebrate?"

Zhang Yang cleared his throat again, "Make a friend by the way." ”

Zhang Daxiang took the tea eggs, "I made you a friend." ”

The answer was quite refreshing, Zhang Yang was a little overwhelmed for a while, this person should at least be reserved.

Xu Jingzong also said, "It is not a bad thing to have a few more friends in the DPRK and China. ”

So the three of them came to the government of the Ministry of Rites and sat down to eat tea eggs together.

Zhang Daxiang ate one bite at a time, but he was quite cheerful.

Observing his expression, Zhang Yang was a little entangled in his heart.

Zhang Daxiang poured a sip of tea, "This tea egg is delicious, and it is a little bitter in the mouth after eating too much." ”

Xu Jingzong nodded, "It's best to eat two, and it's easy to swell and feel uncomfortable if you eat three." ”

Zhang Daxiang nodded vigorously, "That's right, I feel this way now." ”

He's already eaten six, and if nothing else, he'll be unable to eat anything else today, and then a dozen burps will be full of the smell of tea eggs.

Sure enough, he burped and poured tea into his mouth.

After a long while, Zhang Daxiang stroked his somewhat uncomfortable chest, "I know that my father's illness medicine is useless, and I also know that you know some medical skills, I just hope you can let him live a few more days." ”

Zhang Yang nodded slightly, "I'll do my best." ”

Zhang Daxiang said again, "I still have two younger brothers, one is a housekeeper in Dongtai and the other is working under the prince, but how is the second brother in Dongtai, as far as my third brother Da'an, he is often bullied in the East Palace. ”

Zhang Yang was puzzled: "Who was bullied?" ”

Zhang Daxiang glanced at the direction of the East Palace, "A person named Li Baiyao, this Li Baiyao asked the third brother to do some chores every day for various reasons, and he also did it during the period, and he was still sensible under His Royal Highness the Prince, so that Da'an continued to stay in the East Palace." ”

"Li Baiyao?" Zhang Yang thought to himself, such a familiar name.

Xu Jingzong replied, "Zhang Shilang, as far as I know, this Li Baiyao was exiled by Emperor Taishang back then, and His Majesty recalled him because he valued his talent and fame, and he was also a waiter of the Ministry of Rites before. ”

"This person can write a good article, when he was in the Ministry of Rites, he revised the "Five Rites" and was replaced by His Majesty to the East Palace."

"It stands to reason that Li Baiyao and Brother Elephant's third brother are at the same level, so they shouldn't bully talents."

Zhang Yang sighed, "It's not that he Li Baiyao relied on his own talents, and it is also a credit for the compilation of the "Five Rites", and the third brother is still young and relied on his father to enter the East Palace, and his confidence is naturally lower than that of ordinary people." ”

Zhang Daxiang nodded vigorously, "That's right." ”

Xu Jingzong whispered, "Do you want to help Brother Elephant get angry." ”

"No need, being bullied is also the third brother's own business, and my father often says that you can be stable only after experience."

"The teacher thinks really long-term."

"My father always thinks long-term." As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Daxiang put down the tea bowl in his hand, "I almost forgot, and I had to go to the household department to check the accounts, so I said goodbye first." ”

Waiting for them to leave, Xu Jingzong muttered in a low voice, "This elephant is also approachable, but unfortunately Zou Guogong is seriously ill, and the three brothers have no support, and they will not be bullied, once Zou Guogong passes away, the situation of their three brothers will definitely be more difficult." ”

Zhang Yang drank tea quietly.

Xu Jingzong said again; "What does Zhang Shilang think of this person?"

Zhang Yang shook his head and sighed, "This elephant brother also looks like a person who will be bullied. ”

The following days were very peaceful, Zhang Yang went to bed every morning, and after the next dynasty, he and his daughter-in-law worked together to design drawings, and occasionally played ball to kill time.

The drawings of the hydro wheeler are almost complete.

Zhang Yang made a small model for Li Yue, as the water fell from a high place, the water wheel wheel turned up, driving several gears behind to rotate, although the speed was not fast, two or three small grinding discs also rotated.

Seeing this scene, Li Yue happily hugged Zhang Yang's arm, hammered his strong shoulder with one hand, and punched his fist like rain excitedly, "Success, success." ”

"Daughter-in-law, if you are happy, you are happy, why are you beating me?" Zhang Yang sighed in distress.

"I can't help myself." Li Yue smiled so much that two dimples appeared on his face.

After saying that, she hugged her arms again, and this time she finally stopped beating them.

This was a major success for Li Yue, and it was also a big step in improving the productivity of the fiefdom, in this era when livestock and manpower were the main productive forces, the population of the fief was already small, although the food yi had the entire Lantian County, and the only population that could be used was the population in the fief.

There are more than 20 households, and the number of people who can use it is too small, which also leads to low productivity.

Increasing productivity can also raise the ceiling of the economy.

Rather than relying on the population to increase productivity, the best way to do this is to use technology to improve productivity.

The couple was discussing the future construction of the village, and Aunt Wang walked quickly, "Don Ma, the king of Hejian County is here, and he is waiting at the door, saying that something happened to the Yinan Khan." ”

Li Yue was still observing the model of the waterwheel, "Husband, let's get busy first." ”

Zhang Yang washed his hands and walked to the door in his official uniform.

Li Xiaogong was eating the small cake he had just bought, "Have you eaten it?" ”

Zhang Yang took two and put them in his mouth and chewed, "What's wrong?" ”

Li Xiaogong walked all the way, "The old man doesn't know, he said that something happened to Yi Nan Khan, so I will come to you first, and then go to see what happened." ”

Come to me beforehand, you can at least ask more, Zhang Yang followed the footsteps and thought.

The two walked all the way into the inn.

happened to be seen by the monk, who watched Zhang Yang run behind a pillar like a nervous person, as if he had seen a ghost.

The guys at the inn were also used to this crazy monk.

Zhang Yang followed Li Xiaogong all the way to the room on the second floor.

Lu Zhaolin was showing the injuries to Yinan Khan.

Xu Jingzong saw that someone was coming, and stepped forward to talk about the situation, "This Yi Nan Khan wanted to leave through the window, but his feet did not step steadily, and he fell off the window sill on the second floor. ”

Lu Zhaolin looked at Yi Nan Khan's legs, "Fortunately, I didn't hurt my bones, I can recuperate for a while, don't move my legs these days, lie down for half a moon first." ”

"Half a moon?" Yi Nan Khan shouted, "Ben Khan can't lie down for so long. ”

Lu Zhaolin said helplessly, "Our Imperial Medical Department can't do anything, you can only wait for your leg injury to heal, and you can't walk." ”

Yi Nan Khan glared at Zhang Yang, "Ben Khan wants to go back to Mobei." ”

Xu Jingzong sighed, "The Khan should recuperate from his injuries first, how can he go to see His Majesty now?" ”

Zhang Yang looked at it with a melancholy expression, "What a big deal do you think, let people seal the windows in the future." ”

"Whoa!" The guard on the side replied.

Li Xiaogong took Xu Jingzong and Zhang Yang out of the post house.

Zhang Yang arched his hand and said, "I'll go back first." ”

Throwing Yinan Khan in the post house, how to deal with it depends on Li Shimin's intentions, and it all depends on how this day Khan wants to toss.

This is not something that the Ministry of Rites can decide in one sentence.

I could feel it at the door of the room just now, the guards were standing straight, holding a horizontal knife that was only available in the army, and the person had been replaced, Li Xiaogong didn't say a word about it, maybe one night Yi Nan Khan would die silently in the post house, or he might have been under house arrest here.

"Wait, you two go to a place with the old man."

The two of them looked at each other puzzled, and Xu Jingzong's eyes were saying that I don't know what's going on.

All the way out of Chang'an City, the three of them each turned over and rode a horse, and drove all the way south for an hour to a tomb in the suburbs.

There is still incense in front of the tombstone that has not been burned, apparently just worshipped.

Following Li Xiaogong turned over and dismounted, Zhang Yang saw the inscription, Li Shentong's three words were on the tombstone, and there were some inscriptions written next to the tombstone, and the handwriting was very small.

Seeing Li Xiaogong saluting, Zhang Yang also saluted.

After the salute, Li Xiaogong poured a bowl of wine in front of the tomb, "You heroes and heroes of the year left one by one, leaving the old man alone. ”

Hearing Li Xiaogong say this, Zhang Yang remembered a little that among the generals in Li Shimin's hands were four well-known clan generals.

Li Daoxuan, Li Shentong, Li Daozong, and Li Xiaogong, these four people are famous clan generals in Li Yuan's hands.

I remember that Lee Do-hyun was killed in battle because of the rebels.

The tombstone in front of him is Li Shentong's.

The four of them are now left with Li Daozong and Li Xiaogong.

Li Xiaogong said in a low voice, "You said that your son Daoyan is young, it's a pity that you left like this, last year before he died, he asked the old man to take care of your son, and now you have passed away for a year, you were also a general all the way during your lifetime, Your Majesty has made a decree to let your son take charge of the army again and restore the lintel of your family." ”

Among the four generals of the clan, Li Shentong is a very special person, and later generations have also criticized him a lot, saying that he is a figure who has never won a battle.

The name Li Shentong ...... The word supernatural power has a bit of madness.

"I guess I was a heroic person when I was alive." Zhang Yang muttered to himself.

"Wrong! He was a steady man during his lifetime, and he just passed away last year, and his bones are not cold. Li Xiaogong's expression was serious.

Zhang Yang bowed again, "Senior Zhang Yang, meet the supernatural general!" ”

Li Xiaogong sat next to the tombstone, "Don't worry, your son is my Li Xiaogong's son, and he will take care of him." ”

The heart said that the place where the people of the Tang clan were buried should not be in this kind of suburb.

Zhang Yang thought carefully that he should be buried elsewhere, this is just a well-dressed mound, otherwise with the identity of Li Shentong's clan, there would not be only this little incense in front of his tomb.

Li Xiaogong talked about the year while drinking wine, chattering non-stop.

Xu Jingzong followed Zhang Yang to the side, "Zhang Shilang, everything has been arranged, the lower official arranged for someone to beat Li Baiyao, this guy is hard-boned, and he can continue to go to the East Palace to be on duty after being beaten." ”

"What age is this Li Baiyao?"

"It's almost fifty, do you want to arrange for some people to beat you up?"

"It's just to help Brother Elephant vent his evil anger, you might as well kill it if you beat it again and again."

"Zhang Shilang is right, the lower officials will arrange for manpower and knives, choose a dark and windy night, and send someone to wipe his neck."

"Stop, I mean don't have to kill."
