So the train of thought suddenly opened, and Li Yue revised the drawings again.

Recently, the court has been very quiet, and even the Turkic and Tibetan affairs have not been asked.

There is a feeling of being forgotten by the emperor in my heart, which is also good, if the emperor keeps staring at you, either the emperor wants to kill you, or the emperor wants to reuse you, and after reusing you, he may kill you.

Fortunately, Li Shimin did not have the habit of slaughtering heroes.

At the moment, you can be busy with your own affairs, just waiting for Xue Yantuo to withdraw to Mobei, when will the Turkic steppe be stabilized, and Zhongshu Province will give power to the Ministry of Rites.

Li Yue continued to revise the drawings, "The power required to push a grinding disc may not be much, and the power required to connect many grinding discs in a row is even more. ”

"It's not difficult to solve this, you can increase the force area of the waterwheel, and the more water force the waterwheel receives, the faster the rotation."

Li Yue frowned and considered, "If the waterwheel sinks halfway, its force surface will be greater, so as to increase the speed." ”

Zhang Yang smiled, "Why don't you increase the water power?" ”

Li Yue fell into contemplation again, "What does the husband mean to make the water flow faster?" ”

Zhang Yang nodded, "I don't think this question will be difficult for you." ”

Glancing at her husband again, Li Yue's eyes looked at her drawings, "It seems to be a little understood." ”

"Water flows down from above, it can only flow down."

"Clearing the customs to change the direction of the water flow and increase the power of the flowing water, the husband's idea is very interesting, you should be able to give it a try."

Li Yue nodded confidently.

At the end of the village is a huge building being built, which in Niu Chuang's words is like a palace.

No matter how you say Niu Chuang, he is also a rough man, his craftsmanship is really good, but he hasn't read for a few years.

Not to mention management.

He can lead the villagers, but he doesn't know how to govern the acres and how to pay taxes according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty.

The days in the village can't always be "big pot rice".

Shangguan Yi quickly threw himself into his work.

Li Tai carried a pile of wood and put it down with difficulty, his little face flushed, "Why do you take a fancy to Shangguanyi." ”

Zhang Yang said helplessly, "I don't have too many choices, I actually want to dig up your uncle, but I'm worried that he will train all the people in the village into human spirits, not to mention that when the time comes, they will fight all day long." ”

Li Tai nodded and said, "You have a point, but if you can really ask for someone in the court, maybe you will really rob someone." ”

Zhang Yang cleared his throat and said, "I am based on the principle of the other party's willingness, if there are really people in the court who want to leave, I think my fiefdom can take them in." ”

"Sure enough, you still want to take away the people in the court, you are very bold, and you really want to do it." Li Tai said in a firm tone.

While the two were talking, Shangguan Yi came again.

"Zhang Shilang, there is still a question in the heart of the lower official."

"Please speak," Zhang Yang shook the pu fan in his hand, today's weather is really hot, and the little fat man is also sweating profusely, waving his sleeves to dispel his thoughts.

The small and large dogs of the village lay in the shade and stuck out their tongues listlessly.

Shangguan Yi asked with a solemn expression, "Why do you want to build a so-called commercial street, and you still need to raise so many livestock." ”

Zhang Yang looked at the daughter-in-law in the distance who was commenting on the waterwheel with the two aunts, and replied, "This village is very poor. ”

Shangguan Yi nodded.

"If a place only depends on farming for a living, and the single income is only food, or it goes to do some odd jobs, the productivity is too low."

After listening to Zhang Yang, Shangguan Yi became more and more puzzled, "Please also ask Zhang Shilang to be more clear." ”

A little impatient, the fan in Zhang Yang's hand kept shaking, "In short, I just think that this place is too poor, not to mention the food, even they themselves can't eat, there is no possibility of exploitation in such a poor place, you just think I am helping the poor, and when the villagers here become rich, I can also have a pension capital, and I can also exploit them more happily." ”

Shangguan Yi nodded clearly, "If Zhang Shilang had said this earlier, the lower officials would have understood." ”

Sure enough, it would be better to say it more directly, and he understood it when he talked about exploiting the villagers here, but when it came to productivity or something, he couldn't understand it.

Sure enough, the human heart is still evil.

The villagers are so poor that they can't exploit it, and there is no oil and water to scrape, so they can only let the current villagers get rich first, and then exploit it later.

Where to find a good person like me in this world, Zhang Yang inexplicably felt that he exuded the brilliance of humanity all over his body, and his figure was quite tall.

Shangguan Yi then went to work on his business.

He first recorded the names of the villagers in the whole village, and then counted the existing assets of the entire village, and even the number of dogs in the village he had to write down, so he asked the names of the dogs.

There were also two more geese in the village, and these two geese were bought by Niu Chuang at a large price from the merchants of Chang'an City.

It is said that it was bought from someone from the Tohoku.

These geese from the northeast to Chang'an looked very thin, but it still did not prevent them from raising their high goose heads, and their eyes were full of murderous aura in all directions.

A group of children looked at the geese, curious and eager to play tricks.

There was a bold boy who teased him twice with a stick, and the goose flapped his wings and chased after the bear child.

There was a lot of noise, and the child ran into the house crying.

The goose fluttered twice in front of the door without stopping, and then left haughtily.

The children also found the King of Wei and prepared for Li Tai to tame the two geese.

The goose raised its head in a posture that was about the same height as a normal child.

Li Tai was surrounded by a few sloppy children, who were whispering their grievances, counting the big geese that were rampant in the village.

Usually, even outsiders who want to enter the village will be stopped outside the village by children carrying sticks.

Only in the face of these two geese, the children were cowardly.

Seeing that Li Tai pulled the corner of his clothes, Zhang Yang looked down at him, "His Royal Highness King Wei, is there something wrong?"

Li Tai asked, "Is goose meat delicious?" ”

"It's too thin, raise it for a while and then eat it."

"Then keep it first."

The children were afraid of the geese, but the adults were not, so Li Tai asked the guards to throw the two geese into the duck pen.

As soon as the goose entered the duck pen, it quickly attracted the dissatisfaction of the ducks, and the ducks crowed continuously for a while.

The two geese quickly overpowered more than a dozen ducks.

The ducks all cowered in the corners and did not dare to make a sound, and the two geese occupied a large territory.

Zhang Yang was reluctant to kill these two geese again, this proper town house beast.

It couldn't be better to guard the village.

"I don't know when Doctor Sun will come back?"

"I haven't heard from him yet, and I don't know where this old fairy has gone, maybe there will be news in a few days."

Zhang Yang chose a site in the village to use as a medical center, and the construction was handed over to Niu Chuang.

The affairs of village governance are entrusted to Shangguanyi.

Otherwise, Niu Chuang has to manage construction and people alone, and he is also lacking in skills.

With Shangguan Yi, he can also relax here.

After listening to Shangguan Yi's arrangements for the village, Zhang Yang looked at Niu Chuang again.

Niu Chuang said with a smile, "I don't know how to manage the village, but with the help of Brother Shangguan, I can concentrate on building a house." ”

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Arrange a place for Shangguan Yi to live, and then live in the village, and in the future, Brother Shangguan will go to the Hongwen Hall every morning, and then go to teach to the people who are silent, and after teaching, you can come to the village in the afternoon." ”

Shangguan Yi arched his hand and said, "Thank you Zhang Shilang for your arrangement, let's move out of the Hongwen Pavilion, and Xiaguan can use the afternoon and evening to help manage the village." ”

After returning to Chang'an City, Shangguanyi came to Hongwen Hall.

There is a small room in the backyard of Hongbunkan, this room is so small that it can only fit a bed, and this is a room for miscellaneous items.

The steward of Hongwenkan helped vacate this place, and it was also possible to save money for staying in the hotel.

As soon as he returned to Chang'an City, Wu Shi Tong came to Hongwen Hall and saw Shangguan Yi.

At this moment, Shangguan Yi was packing his luggage, and Wu Shi Tong was curious, "Brother Shangguan, is this leaving Chang'an City?" ”

Seeing Wu Shi Tong, Shangguan Yi was also puzzled, "Meet you in person?" ”

Wu Shi Tong stroked his beard and smiled, "Old man Wu Shi Tong, I saw you in Yang Gongren's mansion when I was passing through Yangzhou, Yang Gongren admired you very much, and I paid more attention to the long history of the old man. ”

"I see." Shangguan Yi also thought of the eighth year of Wude, because of some things about Li Xiaogong, His Majesty asked Wushi Tong to rush to Yangzhou, and this is why Li Xiaogong returned to Chang'an and became the king of Hejian County.

There are some chances.

"Are you leaving the Hongwen Pavilion? What to do? ”

Shangguan Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the sky at dusk, "I found a place to live outside the city, and it was very disturbing to live in Hongwen Pavilion all the time." ”

At the beginning, it was also under the fence in Yangzhou, and Shangguanyi has been living under the fence over the years.

It's the same in Hongbunkan, and the manager of Hongbunkan will be upset if you have been bothered for a long time, so it's better to move out early.

Wu Shi Tong said in a low voice, "Tomorrow, the old man will go to meet Your Majesty, and after meeting Your Majesty, you will have to go back to Lizhou, so it is better for you to go with the old man to meet Your Majesty, and the old man can introduce you, maybe Your Majesty will also appreciate you." ”

Shangguan Yi bowed slightly, "Thank you for your kindness, I have been tired of many people all the way to Chang'an, and now that I finally have a place to live, I don't want to make trouble." ”

Wu Shi Tong sighed with emotion, "The old man is going to see the king of Hejian County tonight, why don't you go with the old man to meet him?" ”

Shangguan Yi looked at the sky again, "It's not early, Xiaguan has already promised Zhang Shilang to govern the fief for him, and he has an appointment." ”

The warrior sighed, "Since this is the case, the old man does not force it, the old man will rush to Lizhou when he sees His Majesty tomorrow, I am afraid it will not be easy to meet in the future, you also have to understand that if you miss this time, the next time may be when, and whether there is such an opportunity." ”

These words are kind, Shangguan Yi also knows that after seeing the king of Hejian County, and seeing His Majesty tomorrow, maybe he can leave Hongwen Pavilion and join the court.

Shangguan Yi arched his hand and said, "Xiaguan can't break the appointment, and he can't be untrustworthy." ”

With a long sigh, the warrior nodded, "I think that even if the old man doesn't recommend you, you can still have some achievements, the old man can see that you are a capable person, since this is the case, the old man is not reluctant." ”

With a half-human-tall bag on his back, Shangguan Yi walked out of the Hongwen Pavilion with firm steps, and he also knew that he had missed an opportunity for promotion.

However, after rejecting Wu Shitong, Shangguan Yi felt more steady.

First there were people under the fence, and there was the help of people from all walks of life, Shangguan Yi was very grateful for the care of these people he met along the way, if it wasn't for them, they wouldn't have been able to go to Chang'an, and they couldn't come to Hongwen Hall.

Kindness is kindness, and Shangguan Yi wants to use his own skills to do something.

I don't want to send people under the fence anymore, and I don't want to be favored anymore.

Maybe he can make some achievements in Zhang Shilang's fiefdom, and there will be better opportunities in the future, he doesn't regret it in his heart, but has an unprecedented steadfastness.

Walking out of Chang'an City, Shangguan Yi looked in the direction of Lishan, thinking in his heart that he could sleep for one less hour every day, get up before dawn, hurry to Chang'an City, wait for the city gate to open to Hongwen Hall, and then teach General Cheng Xiao's people, and then go back to the village.

You can cope with the back and forth, but you can arrange it by sleeping for an hour less.

It was already night when Shangguan Yi returned to the village.

Niu Chuang took him to a house, "The house has been cleaned up, it was also newly built, although the house is smaller, a little shabby, I hope don't dislike it, this is the future residence of Brother Shangguan, this house is for Brother Shangguan, no matter what happens in the future, you can come to live here." ”

Shangguan Yi looked at the house and nodded, "There is Brother Lao Niu." ”

Niu Chuang arched his hand and said, "I haven't studied for a few years, if I can, I will have to ask Brother Shangguan more questions in the future." ”

Shangguan Yi smiled, "That's natural, you can talk to Brother Niu more in the future." ”

Niu Chuang nodded and said, "This is what Zhang Shilang said about learning from each other and making progress with each other." ”

"Improving each other?"

"Zhang Shilang sometimes says some strange things, which makes sense when you think about it."

"I think so too."

Niu Chuang bowed slightly, "Then don't disturb Mr. Shangguan's rest." ”

"It's okay, you should rest earlier."

This Mr. Shangguan is Niu Chuang's recognition, and Shangguan Yi can feel the respect in Niu Chuang's words.

Waiting for the others to leave, Shangguan Yi looked at the furnishings of this house, the house is fifteen steps wide and twenty steps deep, this house is not small, at least it is much better than the house where Hongwen Pavilion can only put one bed.

The walls are sturdy, the floor is clean and tidy, the oil lamps are lit, there are even tables, pens and inks are ready, and the beds are spacious, and the fields can be seen in the distance when you open the windows.

Taking a deep breath of the air here, Shangguan Yi smiled with satisfaction.

There are also a number of books in the room, all of which are about the construction of the village, as well as some of the population registers of the village.

"Three-year plan construction?" Shangguan Yi immediately became interested in the above content.
