Take some bacon that is dried at home, wash some bitter and bitter vegetables, chop them into minced pieces, and put on the cut bacon and bitter herbs after the millet rice is cooked, and simmer for a while.

"Daughter-in-law, it's time to eat." Zhang Yang shouted towards Li Yue's room.

"Don't eat it!" Li Yue sulked and replied.

The fragrant bacon stew was baked, and the fragrance wafted through the courtyard, and a bowl was served to the little bear, and he saw that he buried his whole head in the bowl and ate it with great pleasure.

Zhang Yang took the bowl and ate by himself.

Soon Li Yue came out of the room, she consciously filled herself a bowl, and then sat quietly and ate it.

Zhang Yang reached out and pinched her tender face twice, Li Yue was still chewing food in her mouth, with dissatisfaction in her eyes.

It took three days to readjust the pulp recipe and seven days to dry a large bundle of dragon's beard.

Dragon's beard grass is a very cheap medicinal herb, and some people also use this dragon's beard grass to make lily clothes.

In moist places, it is a very common weed.

The medicine twist brought from the Tai Yi Department is quite easy to use, and it just comes in handy.

After the dried dragon's beard grass is crushed with a twist of medicine, it is soaked in water for two days.

Waiting for the pulp to be completed, it is like waiting for a bumper harvest of grain, with raw materials and production technology, there are conditions to expand the market, in this trade development is not yet perfect in Datang, it is not difficult to find a market.

It's a big deal, and it's a long one.

It can bring considerable financial income to the family.

One step closer to a better life is a welcome thing.

Aunt Wang is reporting the recent situation in the village, the two aunts are the managers of the village, Li Yue does not go to the village, and the two aunts often go to the village to see the recent changes.

Now Li Yue is most concerned about the situation of the children in the village, and she wants to train these children into a big help.

The business in the village has also reached its best, braised pork and milk tea are in short supply, and the raw materials of milk tea are about to be sold out.

Li Yue looked at the accounts, "When will the Turkic milk powder be delivered again?" ”

Zhang Yang observed the fineness of the pulp, "There is no news. ”

"If there was no milk powder, wouldn't our business have stopped." Li Yue calculated, "I don't know how much Qingque has left, if there is no milk tea to sell, we will make a lot less money!" ”

Saying that, Li Yue's little face slapped Zhang Yang's claws fiercely, and my husband didn't know what was wrong recently? Why do you always like to pinch your face?

The weather was very good, Zhang Yang sighed heavily: "Maybe now King Wei is already thinking of a way, our family doesn't need to worry, that little fat man is more anxious than us." ”

"Speaking of which, our family still has a surplus, but we are not in a hurry."

The couple reached a consensus and nodded in unison.

The courtyard under the sun was very warm and secluded, and after a while, Li Yue stretched her back, stretched out her arms and took a deep breath, and when she was tired of reading, she closed her eyes and lay down for a while.

In the village at the foot of Lishan Mountain, tables are placed in front of the village, where a large number of people sit, drinking hot milk tea and eating food.

The eldest grandson Wuji looked in a very bad mood from afar, as a strategist beside His Majesty, he had not suffered too much loss in the hands of others over the years.

Now that the business of King Wei and Zhang Yang can be so good, the original elements should not be redeemed by His Royal Highness King Wei.

With the share bought with the previous 1,000 yuan, Zhang Yang has already earned it back this time in the autumn hunt.

"Father, I've asked, today's braised pork and cake have been sold out, maybe there won't be any in the next two days." The eldest grandson rushed over and returned empty-handed.

Seeing that his father was going to be hungry, Changsun Chong took out two more cakes, "There are still some dry food here." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji turned his back, "You can eat it yourself." ”

Why did he listen to King Wei's words and redeem the elements.

Now that King Wei is only eleven years old, can he have such a deep mind?

After thinking about it several times in my heart, this matter is really inseparable from Zhang Yang.

It's very unpleasant to be calculated, especially by people who despise you, and it's even more unpleasant.

There was some struggle in his heart, and the eldest grandson Wuji stroked his beard and sighed, "The old man still underestimates people." ”

King Wei was able to make money, and the mood of the queen and His Majesty was not as sullen as that of the eldest grandson Wuji.

The income of their own children can also relieve the pressure in the palace.

The prince's business is not good, and with the lessons learned from the previous times, Li Tai is a lot more cautious in doing business, and he uses all the relatives of the clan, and there is no problem in name.

Now Li Tai is very proud, walking beside his father and queen mother, he walks with the wind.

"Yue'er and her husband don't live in the village?" Empress Eldest Sun said in a low voice.

"I come and go on weekdays, but I don't come in the last few days." Li Tai explained.

"Yue'er, this kid is very quiet on weekdays, and he doesn't like this kind of lively scene."

Scanning the surroundings, the neatly arranged houses, and the neat and smooth road, the eldest grandson queen exclaimed: "This kid has taken care of this place so well, how did he do it." ”

After others have a fief, they will more or less exploit the fief, and no matter how good the person is, he will give the fief some benefits.

Who would keep sending money to the village like Zhang Yang.

In his words, this village is so poor that there is no value for exploitation, and if you want to exploit it in the future, you must first make the village rich.

Li Tai thought in his heart, just like Zhang Yang is raising that animal now, and when the livestock is raised and fattened, sooner or later it will become Zhang Yang's plate and food.

Thinking so in his heart, Li Tai took his father and mother to walk around here, introducing everything here, from the beginning of the construction of the village to the present, he often does coolies here to lose weight, and he also has a share in the construction of the village.

He pointed to a wall, "Father, queen mother, this wall is built by the sons." ”

Li Shimin stroked his beard and nodded.

Li Tai pointed to a large row of drying racks in the distance, "These shelves are also made by Erchen's own hands, and in order to cut these woods, Erchen's hands have been cut several times. ”

"There is also this path, in order to repair this road, Erchen carried a day's sand and gravel, and several stones of sand and gravel were carried by Erchen himself." Li Tai grinned, "After carrying the sand that day, when I got up the next day, my bones seemed to be broken, and I couldn't stand up in pain, as if I had been beaten up." ”

After sweating a lot in this village, Li Tai entered the village from the beginning and watched a dilapidated village change little by little, to become so beautiful today.

Li Shimin looked into the distance, it was Li Yuanzheng and Zhang Gongjin playing chess.

"You're here to do coolies to lose weight?"

"Well, Erchen wants to lose weight, and Doctor Sun also said that being too obese is not good for your health."

"Hmm." Empress Eldest Sun nodded, "If you want to lose weight, you can also eat less on weekdays." ”

"Erchen just can't control this mouth, he can eat it if he wants." Li Tai grinned.

There are still furniture sellers in this village, and the villagers of these furniture villages have already used them, Li Shimin took a few more looks, chairs, reclining chairs, flush toilets, these things have long been available in the palace.

But the delicate water-wheeled cart is a novelty.

Back in Lishan Palace, Li Shimin listened to the report of the guards, and the governance of the village was a person called Shangguanyi.

"Who is Shangguan Yi?"

"Back to Your Majesty, Shangguan Yi was originally a scholar of Hongwen Pavilion, and he left Hongwen Pavilion two months ago, saying that his family was poor and he wanted to earn more money outside."

"A scholar should have a good future, why should he worry about money?"

"The humble post also found out that this Shangguan Yi is the son of Shangguan Hong."

Li Shimin opened his eyes and frowned, "Shangguan Hong? Shangguan Hong at the time of the Jiangdu mutiny? ”

"That's right, it's indeed Shangguan Hong, and Shangguan Hong's father is Shangguan Xian."

"It turned out to be after the former Sui minister."

The court also used a lot of famous ministers of the former Sui, and Yang Shidao said that they were the talents left by the former Sui.

"I remember that it was the year of the Great Cause, and it was also the season when the grass grew and the warbler flew, and there were all kinds of heroes and their fathers to discuss the matter of raising troops, at that time, Emperor Yang of Sui was touring the south of the Yangtze River, Yu Wenhua and the two brothers and the Sima family launched a rebellion, killed Yang Guang, and many ministers who followed Yang Guang were also killed, Shangguan Hong was one of them."

Unexpectedly, Shangguan Hong still had a son left in the world, Li Shimin was puzzled: "Yu Wenhua and others were all killed, and I remember that Shangguan Hong's relatives and relatives were also killed." ”

"Back to Your Majesty, I have been inquired about my humble position, and there is a record of Shangguanyi's entry into the Hongwen Pavilion, and at that time, he was also ordained as a monk in order to take refuge, and later he was appreciated by Yang Gongren in Yangzhou, and he got acquainted with the warrior Tong, and he was recommended to enter the Hongwen Pavilion."

Li Shimin smiled bitterly, "When the world was in turmoil, how many heroes ......and heroes are left?"

The guard was silent, bowing his head and saying nothing.

"After being a famous minister, he also has talents, why didn't Hongwenguan raise talents in the first place?"

"I didn't ask much."

From his governance of this village, you can see this person's talent, Zhang Yang was able to build such a beautiful place, and it must have something to do with Shangguanyi's talent.

A young talent was right in front of him, but it fell into the hands of Zhang Yang, and Li Shimin felt heartache.

"Let Zhao Guogong go to see Shangguan Yi and ask him if he has any plans to become an official."

"Whoa."

After a busy day, Shangguan Yi returned to his home tiredly, and there were also bad things about living under the same roof as Li Xiaogong, he lived a very poor life on weekdays, his clothes were thrown away, he threw away his boots when he took off, he fell asleep when he lay down, and he didn't wash his own clothes.

Another day, I discussed with Niu Chuang whether it was possible to build a few more houses in the village and let Li Xiaogong move out, and it was really difficult to rest after snoring like thunder.

Emperor Li Yuan moved to the village, Zou Guogong Zhang Gongjin also lived in the village, and even the King of Wei also placed a house in the village, and now there is no room for people.

Shangguan Yi ate the food sent by the villagers, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the eldest grandson Wuji who came to the door.

"I've seen Zhao Guogong." Shangguan Yi arched his hand.

Glancing at Shangguan Yi holding the bowl in his hand, the eldest grandson Wuji said again: "Eat first, after eating, the old man wants to discuss some things with you." ”

Zhao Guogong is now a very popular minister in the court, and he is also one of His Majesty's most important ministers.

Shangguan Yi didn't dare to slack off, pulled a few more mouthfuls of food, wiped his mouth and straightened his clothes, and walked out of the house.

Under the starry night, a few dogs barked in the village.

Shangguan Yi bowed slightly, "Zhao Guogong, please speak." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji carried his hands behind his back, "You worked in the Hongwen Pavilion at the beginning?" ”

"I am fortunate to be able to bend down in the Hongbunkan, and I realize that my knowledge is still shallow......"

"The village is well governed." Eldest Sun Wuji interrupted him.

"This is all Zhang Shilang's guidance." Shangguan Yi saluted again, "Zhang Shilang often says that they learn from each other and make progress together, and I have thought about the meaning of this sentence, everyone has their own strengths, learn each other's strengths, and make up for their own shortcomings, this is to learn from each other." ”

"What are you good at?"

"Learn from each other." Shangguan Yi smiled.

"Interesting statement."

"I also think so in Xia, and the whole village has worked together since the beginning of construction, and I haven't done much in Xia."

"And I have learned a lot from it, such as unified management, unified distribution, formulating a three-to-five-year plan, increasing the output value of the village, and rationally allocating manpower, which I have not learned before."

"Have you ever thought about becoming an official in the court?"

"Of course the lower officials have thought about it, and they also want to enter the court as an official."

The eldest grandson Wuji turned to look at him, "The old man can recommend to His Majesty, there are still one or two secretaries in the court, what do you think?" ”

Shangguan Yi took a step back, "Zhao Guogong, there are too many nobles to help me all the way to now, and now I have to be taken care of by Zhang Shilang, if I get Zhao Guogong's recommendation again, I don't know how to repay it." ”

He smiled bitterly, and could only salute again to the big man in front of him, "If one day you can rely on your ability to enter the court as an official, in order to repay Zhao Guogong's appreciation." ”

"Are you rejecting the old man?"

"I don't dare to do it, but one day I can govern this place and make achievements......

"At that time, you don't need to be recommended by the old man, you can also enter the court as an official." The eldest grandson Wuji said in a deep voice.

"Thank you Zhao Guogong for your kindness, I also want to try the results of years of hard work here."

"In this way, the old man understands your mind."

The eldest grandson Wuji patted him on the shoulder, shook his head and sighed without saying anything.

Standing in place for a long time, when Shangguan Yi turned around again, he saw Li Xiaogong, and looked around, "King Hejian County, when did you ......?"

Li Xiaogong cleared his throat, "The old man got up at night and saw you talking with the eldest grandson and the old fox. ”

Shangguan Yi was stunned for a long time.

"Don't worry, the old man didn't hear the conversation between you clearly." While explaining, Li Xiaogong returned to the house and lay on the bed, and after two or three breaths, the snoring started again.

Sleep so fast......

Shangguan Yi closed the door and sat down to read the scroll again.

"Rest early."

Li Xiaogong's words came from behind him, and the snoring stopped slightly, and then began again.

Looking back, Li Xiaogong was still snoring like thunder and sleeping soundly.

Reading the scroll alone late at night, Shangguan Yi thought about this conversation, it is always right to learn more, and staying in this village for the time being will not disappoint Zhang Shilang's kindness.

It's really good to get the recommendation of the eldest grandson Wuji, but what you owe has to be repaid, and now that you have nothing, what can you repay Zhao Guogong? I don't want to be Zhao Guogong's pawn and be at the mercy of others.

Ever since I was a child, I have heard my father talk about it, and I understand how sinister power is.
