Chapter 192: Start by Accumulating Wealth
It is only the fourteenth year since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, and the country and power have stabilized, and everyone is busy for the days to come.
Among them, the most idle is Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang took the book of experience given by the teacher and looked at it, and he has read this volume of experience for the ninth time in the past few days.
This is written on Zhang Gongjin's judgment and results of some troublesome things in the past, as well as the summary of his original thoughts and experience.
Most of the time, they judge the outcome of the present based on past experience.
For example, when you encounter something in trouble, or something happens to the court, they will take a screenshot of the memory from their past experience or some things recorded in the classics to find a way to deal with it.
Zhang Yang put down the book in his hand, closed his eyes, relaxed his eyes, and put a pair of cold little hands on the sides of his temples.
"I've read this book several times."
Li Yue's voice came from behind him, and Zhang Yang simply relaxed his body completely and leaned on Li Yue's body.
"If I don't understand, I don't think I'm suitable to be a person who calculates people's hearts all the time." Zhang Yang closed his eyes and whispered.
"My husband is not good at interacting with people, if he is scheming about people's hearts all day long, how tiring it is to live like this."
"yes, it's really tiring to live by thinking about calculating others."
Li Yue smiled softly, "The teacher is also kind." ”
Zhang Yang took a deep breath, "The teacher wants me to live as a bad person. ”
The bear lying on the table woke up slowly, it crawled on its still heavy limbs, and after stepping into the air, it fell off the table again, rolled on the ground, shook its head again, and looked around.
It's as if I've forgotten where I am.
It is the time when the bear cub grows its body, and the animal at this period is very able to eat and sleep, and every few days it will find that it is much heavier.
"I believe that there is righteousness in the world, and there is righteousness in the world." Zhang Yang looked outside the courtyard.
Today's weather is a bit gloomy, and it looks like it's going to start raining again.
Zhang Yang took two small jars of wine and a few salted duck eggs and walked on Suzaku Street, the mansion of the king of Hejian County is not difficult to find, close to the Suzaku Gate, and on both sides of Suzaku Street are the mansions of the generals of the country.
When he came to the palace of Hejian County, Zhang Yang informed the guards here.
After the guards went in to report, it was Li Chongyi who greeted him.
Sixteen-year-old Li Chongyi still has some childishness in his eyes.
"Chongyi Gongzi." Zhang Yang saluted politely.
"Zhang Shilang doesn't need to be polite, my father went to Zuo Wuwei and was not at home."
Seeing that Zhang Yang was still carrying something in his hand, Li Chongyi smiled and said, "Take Zhang Shilang to see my father." ”
"There is Lao Chongyi's son."
Li Xiaogong is a rough man, and his son is polite.
The two of them came all the way to be Zuo Wuwei, and before they could walk in, they heard the wild laughter inside.
In Zuo Wuwei, there were officers and soldiers who came and went, and listened to Li Chongyi tell that this was the mansion of General Wei Chi.
Walking on the path of the palace, I walked back and heard the sound of iron.
Li Hyo-gong was staring at a few blacksmiths building ordnance.
Seeing Zhang Yang coming, he still had a smile on his face, "Why are you here?" ”
Zhang Yang lifted the wine and salted duck eggs in his hand, "Let's take a look at the King of Hejian County." ”
"It just so happens that the old man is also hungry."
followed Li Xiaogong into a side room.
Zhang Yang handed over the drink, and Li Chongyi asked the officers and soldiers outside to prepare the meal.
People influence each other.
According to Li Shimin's meaning, Li Xiaogong, a guy who is out of tune, hopes that he can give him some positive influence.
Seeing Li Xiaogong take a sip of wine, Zhang Yang said, "Your Majesty and the crown prince came to me yesterday. ”
Li Xiaogong put the wine bowl on the table, "What did you say?" ”
"It is said that we haven't been to the court for a long time, and the ministers in the court can't stand it if we are so sluggish."
"Do you want to go back to the court?"
Finally, I had enough sleep during this time, and naturally I didn't want to go back to the days when I was forced to get up in the morning and go to court.
It feels bad to sleep standing up.
Zhang Yang sat cross-legged and said, "If you don't go to the court, it's for the sake of Sheji." ”
Li Xiaogong sighed, "Hehehe, I said that I didn't go to the early dynasty for the sake of the community, and the boy was even more shameless than the old man." ”
"A hard-working person is a threat."
The government and the opposition all know that the Ministry of Rites is the most unobtrusive of the six ministries, and it is also the most unaccustomed to being looked down upon, and everyone can be punished, so such a government will make people feel that there is no threat.
Frowning and looking at Zhang Yang, Li Xiaogong looked at him, "You kid has changed." ”
Zhang Yang smiled, "How do you say this?" ”
"This is also what Zhang Gongjin taught you?"
"No, no, because I had a friend when I was a kid."
Zhang Yang said melancholy, "This friend of mine when I was a child was a person who was very good at reading, but I was also a person who couldn't read well, and I was always beaten by the children of the two families." ”
"Hmm." Li Xiaogong nodded slightly, motioned to continue.
"I thought to myself at the time, the wronged person can't always be me, and my little friend is a complete nerd, I took him to appreciate the beauty of the world, there are many interesting things in this world, and I tried my best to indulge in it."
"And I played with him, watching him degenerate day by day, secretly I worked hard to study, and finally my grades surpassed him."
Li Xiaogong gasped, "What a poisonous scheme, how old were you at that time?" ”
Zhang Yang recalled, "About ten years old. ”
"There is such a city at a young age, the old man admires it."
"Of course, it was just a stopgap measure, he was taught by his parents and returned to his original appearance, and once again became the child that everyone was optimistic about, and he was admitted to a good school and had a good future, which is emotional."
Zhang Yang took a sip of wine.
After hearing such words, the two chatted for a long time.
Li Xiaogong was puzzled, "The famous school you said is a very good academy?" The old man has never seen it all over the Central Plains. ”
"It's all in the past, only in my memory."
"That's right, the Central Plains War in those years ruined too much."
I chatted with Li Xiaogong about Gaochang again.
Zhang Yang introduced the benefits there, "Cotton is a good crop, it is a good thing to keep out the cold, if we have it, we can not be afraid of the cold when we go north in the future." ”
"Gaochang has such a thing?"
Li Chongyi, who had been standing aside, replied, "Father, the child has seen some explanations of Gaochang in ancient books. Presumably this is what Zhang Shilang said. ”
Zhang Yang looked at Li Chongyi in surprise, didn't he expect that he had read a lot of books?
"It's a good thing to be knowledgeable, Chongyi Gongzi should be careful to take your friends to play with in the future." Zhang Yang arched his hand.
Li Chongyi grinned, "Zhang Shilang's story must be remembered in my heart." ”
Zhang Yang cleared his throat, "This is not a story, this is my experience." ”
Li Chongyi nodded and said, "I am determined to study hard, and I will never waste it." ”
Li Xiaogong is still very satisfied with his son, "If the old man's son can have half of your cleverness, he will be relieved." ”
Li Chongyi hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Father, the child will learn hard from Zhang Shilang." ”
Li Xiaogong sat down next to Zhang Yang, "This cotton you are talking about?" How many are there in Gaochang? ”
"Not only Gaochang, but also the Western Turks."
"So this thing can make the same money as milk powder?"
"Milk powder is just a means of clamping the Turks, not a necessity, but cotton can become a necessity, and now people wear silk, linen, and fur as clothing, if there is cotton, the clothes will be warmer, and even better clothing can be made."
Li Xiaogong whispered, "I have long heard Your Majesty and the courtiers talk about this place in Gaochang, and it is really a treasure land. ”
"Now Gao Changxiang sent his son Ko Zhisheng to Chang'an, and the lower officials plan to talk to him."
"Why don't you buy some cotton from Gaochang?"
Zhang Yang said with a smile, "I'm afraid that Gao Chang knows the value of cotton and carries cotton to its own weight, and it is not a good thing to let the enemy know our purpose." ”
"You're right."
"It's better to ask the king of Hejian County to send someone to Gaochang to find out the situation, on the grounds of buying jewelry from the Western Regions, take a look at the situation of cotton by the way, and then buy some cotton seeds and a small amount of cotton, and then arrange a piece of land for me in Weinan to try to plant cotton."
"There are two advantages to this, to prevent Gaochang from holding cotton to its own weight, and after the Central Plains also planted cotton, they will naturally lower the price."
"The old man understands."
"It's not too late, it's the season to sow cotton, and it's too late in October."
Li Xiaogong gave Li Chongyi a look.
Li Chongyi hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Son, I'm going to do something." ”
He also told Li Xiaogong about some arrangements for the envoy of Gaochang, and Zhang Yang followed him to the place where the army made ordnance.
Datang's wrought iron technology has been relatively mature, and it will be used for a long time in later generations.
Now when forging weapons, the main use is still the steel filling method, which is also the crystallization of the wisdom of laborers
When he worked in a blacksmith shop before, Zhang Yang tried to soak wrought iron with molten pig iron, and the experiment at that time was very successful.
It's easy and efficient.
After staying here for a while, Zhang Yang went home.
She made a small windmill and paper airplane for Li Yue with paper, and she could have a lot of fun.
Especially when the windmill was spinning, she couldn't take her eyes off it.
Zhang Yang looked at the account book and didn't want to give 100% trust to Li Shimin, the emperor.
Looking at Zhang Yang's frowning and looking at the account book, Li Yue held the windmill in his hand, put his hands on his strong shoulders and asked in a low voice, "What is the husband thinking?" ”
"I'm wondering how much money it will cost to buy the whole of Gaochang."
"Buy Gaochang?" Li Yue was surprised, "That's a country!" ”
"I know."
Now the family is not short of money, and it can be regarded as a rich family in Chang'an City, and it has its own village, so it is not a worry about food and clothing.
"The husband planned to take the entire Lishan before, and now he wants to buy a country in the Western Regions?"
Zhang Yang put away the account book, "If your father really has a vision, Gaochang is a place where the court is bound to win, if I take Gaochang one step earlier than your father, when your father wants it again, I will have enough capital to talk to your father about buying Lishan." ”
"Even if you want to spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy Lishan, your father may not agree, but if you exchange it for a Gaochang, your father may really agree in order to implement his grand plan."
Li Yue observed her husband's expression, and it didn't seem like she was joking, she muttered in a low voice, "How much silver does it cost to buy Gaochang." ”
"Let's start by accumulating our wealth." Zhang Yang said with a smile.
The Turkic envoys will arrive in Chang'an in a few days.
Li Xiaogong's movements were very fast, and he had already sent people to Gaochang.
These are also reported by Xu Jingzong.
Zhang Yang took Li Yue to the village again, and Sun Simiao recruited seven doctors, three of whom were from the Imperial Medical Department.
It is very risky to dig into the corners of Li Shimin's wall.
The devil knows what this emperor will do when he is in a hurry.
If the entire Imperial Medical Department is hollowed out, it is difficult to say whether Li Shimin will be anxious first, and Lu Zhaolin will definitely go crazy.
Leaving the medical hall to Sun Simiao to take care of, Zhang Yang didn't plan to interfere too much.
With Zhang Gongjin and Sun Simiao playing Tai Chi, Zhang Yang heard the words behind him.
"The army sent someone to ask about the gold sore medicine again, but they were all rejected by Poor Dao, after all, it was something you made, and Poor Dao is not in charge."
Zhang Yang was playing Tai Chi boxing, "What price does Chaozhong want to offer?" Did you say how much? ”
Sun Simiao followed the step and slowly made the Tai Chi push hand movement, "I didn't say anything." ”
"Then don't give an answer to the army."
Zhang Gongjin also said, "Two days ago, the DPRK sent people to ask about the social school official school, and there was an old man teaching in the village, so the court naturally didn't need to ask too much, but the people sent by the DPRK and China that day did not just look at the matter of running the private school official school. ”
"What else did they watch?"
"I've seen everything I can see." Zhang Gongjin said in a low voice.
"Teacher Lao takes care of the village."
"You are the disciple of the old man, the old man will naturally help you do things, it should be, Shangguanyi is a good seedling, your vision is very unique, the old man thinks that cultivating Shangguanyi, he will definitely have a lot of achievements in the future."
The inquiry into the Lishan fiefdom was soon sent to Li Shimin.
On the table are all descriptions of the Lishan fiefdom.
Li Shimin opened it one by one and looked at it, "This thing called a waterwheel is also made by Yue'er?" ”
Li Junxian replied, "According to the people in the village, it was all built by Princess Runan and asked the villagers in the village. ”
Li Shimin had a smile on his face, "Can this daughter of mine still create such a thing that benefits the country and the people?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, the people in the village say that Princess Runan is ingenious, and this waterwheel is made by Her Royal Highness the princess at the request of the people in the village, in addition to this, there is also a thing called the cultivator, because there are no cattle in the village to plough the land, so this thing was made."
The more Li Shimin looked at it, the more pleasantly surprised he became, why didn't he think that this daughter of mine still had such skills, it was really cheap that kid.
There is an urgent matter at home, so I will temporarily update a chapter today
