Chapter 241: A Silly Force

"Xu Jingzong didn't offend me, I just felt that I should give him a chance to show his ambitions."

"Even if it is an expedition to the Western Regions, I will arrange a suitable person." After speaking, Li Shimin stood up and left.

Bidding farewell at the door of the house, looking at the back of the emperor, Zhang Yang sighed with emotion: "Xu Jingzong still can't enter His Majesty's eyes. ”

Li Yue whispered: "Wen has Fang Xuanling, the eldest grandson Wuji, Cen Wenwen and other civil ministers, Wu has Qin Qiongwei Chi Gong, not to mention General Li Jing, no matter how much he chooses Xu Jingzong." ”

"Our Majesty has too many talents in his hands."

Aunt Wang gave the bear a bowl of millet rice, and then poured some broth and some meat bones on it, and it could eat very happily.

The couple cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and a bowl of stewed meat had been eaten clean by Li Shimin, so they had to make two more bowls of cold noodles to deal with it.

Li Yue was holding a "national deed" in his hand, which was a contract for her husband to buy a whole Gaochang.

To give is to give, and to trade is to trade.

If it is just giving, it means that the husband plotted to seize Gaochang at the beginning, and now paying a penny is buying Gaochang, and paying a penny is also paying.

This is a good way to circumvent the laws of the Tang Dynasty.

This is not a conspiracy, this is a transaction, if there is a right or wrong in the future, the husband will arrange a retreat for himself.

Adalan plotted to seize Gao Chang in the front, and the husband just bought Gao Chang in the back with a penny from Adalan.

Take one step and look at three steps, isn't this the strategy when playing chess, Li Yue looked at her husband and sucked the noodles with satisfaction.

Zhang Yang held the scroll in his hand and continued to mark the map.

Listening to Aunt Yang's report from the village, Li Shimin talked with Li Yuan for a long time after going to the village, and this time he still wanted to invite Li Yuan back.

This time, Li Yuan still refused to return to the palace.

Compared with the deserted palace, Li Yuan prefers a village with fireworks.

Older people love these days.

In addition to these, Li Shimin didn't inquire much about the affairs of the village, nor did he ask about the printing of books, and he didn't see anyone else.

"Just because Your Majesty doesn't ask doesn't mean that Your Majesty doesn't care." Zhang Yang said.

"The colt means to be on guard."

"Let the people in the village be more vigilant."

"Understood."

"Actually, it's okay for my aunt to call me Xiao Zhang." Saying this, Zhang Yang's expression quickly turned sunny from the beginning.

Aunt Yang saluted respectfully.

In the following days, the two aunts were still making paper, and the formula of the pulp was also adjusted, and the pulp was thinned during drying, so that the surface of the paper was smoother.

Why bother to get oil, it will take some days.

The work of printing books has stopped, and the most important thing is the raw material of cheap ink.

The city of Chang'an on a March day is full of life, and people always like to chat about some family shorts after dinner, and common classics include Confucian books, most of which people seem to find obscure.

Compared with some classics, ordinary people prefer popular stories.

The Red Chamber is a book that is perfect for people to chat after dinner.

On weekdays in the East Palace, Li Chengqian, who came to Chang'an City to relax in his spare time, also heard many people talking about the Red Mansion, especially the women among the powerful and powerful, they were all talking.

From the beginning of the interview in the Red Mansion was not cared for, and now a strange way is circulating in the community.

Some people are illiterate, and they will specially ask someone to read and listen.

Such books were not circulated among scholars and scholars, but they were circulated in a very strange way.

Li Chengqian stood on the pavilion, looking at the lively scene on Suzaku Street, and someone behind him was reading the Red Mansion.

The Red Mansion has set off a very strange trend in Chang'an City.

"Father, I once said that this kind of book will not be on the table, and it will not be liked by scholars." Li Chengqian's face was solemn.

The eldest grandson Chong pondered and said: "The people who read the Red Mansion are just ordinary people in the market, the scholars of the Hongwen Pavilion and the Confucian scholars of the Guozijian will not read this kind of books now. ”

Li Chengqian nodded slightly.

The eldest grandson Chong said with a smile: "A book is only half printed, and I don't know what Zhang Yang's intentions are?" ”

Li Chengqian whispered: "There are many people discussing the Red Chamber now. ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't have to worry, even if there are a lot of people discussing the Red Mansion, Your Majesty also has a decree that the Red Mansion cannot enter the National Prince's Prison, nor can it enter the Hongwen Pavilion, it is destined not to be a book that can enter the eyes of readers."

"Zhang Yang is a person who never suffers losses, and he never does business that loses money, and he always feels that there is something strange in it."

The eldest grandson Chong rolled his sleeve, "There are many miscellaneous books in the market, and the Red Chamber is just one of them, and now so many people talk about the Red Mansion, but they feel fresh and interesting for a while, and when people feel that it is not fresh after reading it, this book will be slowly forgotten, and no one will care about it again, and it will not become such as the Han Confucian classics that will be handed down to future generations and historical records, and in the end people will still abandon the Red Mansion." ”

Li Chengqian didn't nod, didn't shake his head, and was still silent.

The eldest grandson Chong arched his hand and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't have to worry too much. ”

The Red Chamber is indeed a addictive story, and the plot in it is very fascinating.

Yu Shinan took the Red Mansion to Ouyang Xun's house.

Yu Shinan was born in a famous family, was the son of Yu Li of the former Sui Dynasty, and his brother was in charge of the former Sui officials, and later voted for Li Tang.

Seeing Yu Shinan, Ouyang Xun was not surprised.

"You also read the book of the Red Mansion?" Ouyang Xun put down the book in his hand, it was the Red Mansion.

Yu Shinan bowed to Ouyang Qian, "I did read it, but the font on it is from the old man's copybook?" ”

Ouyang Xun nodded and said: "I made an agreement with this kid, although the old man said that he didn't look down on people like him, since there was an agreement first, he had to fulfill his promise and give him a note." ”

Yu Shinan nodded, "I heard the people in Mr.'s mansion tell me the reason for the matter." ”

Ouyang Xun smiled, his smile with deep meaning.

Yu Shinan sighed: "After so many years, I haven't seen the old gentleman for a long time. ”

Ouyang Xun sneered at the sun and closed his eyes, "You are also old, pay more attention to your body, you want to die in front of the old man, you teach the old man how to cry and mourn?" ”

The two old guys smiled tacitly

The subordinates in the house poured two bowls of hot tea, and the tea brewed was fried tea.

"That kid often asks people to send things over, salted duck eggs, tea leaves, some homely things are not worth much, the old man pushes it, and it will not be unbearable to receive it, this son is very good at managing people."

Yu Shinan picked up the tea bowl, took a sip of tea, and felt the warm tea flowing through his throat and organs, "Have you ever seen this kind of paper before?" ”

Ouyang Xun shook his head, "Have you seen it?" ”

Yu Shinan also shook his head, "I also saw a kind of pulp at the beginning, the formula of that kind of paper is different from the ones I have seen, and the paper that comes out is also very thick, and I didn't find anyone when I wanted to find it." ”

"Same as paper today?"

Yu Shinan stroked his beard and said: "There are similarities, unlike mulberry hemp paper, this kind of paper is very tough. ”

After speaking, Ouyang Xun picked up this volume of Red Mansion again, tore off one of the pages, folded it in half and folded it in half, and then tore it open vigorously, looking at the fibers at the opening of the paper, "It's really different from mulberry hemp paper, and it's different from rice paper." ”

Yu Shinan nodded pertinently, "This kind of formula has never been seen by the old gentleman?" ”

"The old man doesn't know how to make paper, but he just has some understanding of the quality of paper."

Yu Shinan asked in a low voice: "I don't know what kind of agreement the old gentleman had with Zhang Yang at the beginning." ”

Recalling the conversation at the foot of Renshou Palace Mountain at that time, Ouyang Xun rubbed his knees in distress, "I'm old, I forgot." ”

Yu Shinan glanced at Ouyang Xun's knee.

The people in the house picked up a piece of fur and put it on Ouyang Xun's knee.

"Now in the rainy season, the old gentleman's knees will still be sore?"

Ouyang Xun stretched his knees with great difficulty, "Your Majesty also asked the medical officer of the Imperial Medical Department to come and see it, saying that his bones are loose when he is old, and there is no way to cure it." ”

With a relieved smile again, Ouyang Xun looked at Yu Shinan, "It's okay, people who are old are almost the same, you have to take care of your body more." ”

Yu Shinan nodded heavily.

Letting his subordinates send Yu Shinan away, Ouyang Xun picked up the red mansion and looked at it with relish.

The people in the house replied: "Old man, the people have been sent away." ”

Ouyang Xun's gaze was still on the red mansion, and he turned another page to continue reading.

"Why didn't the old gentleman say the agreement between him and Zhang Yang at the beginning?"

Ouyang Xun raised his eyes and looked at his subordinates, "What about telling him?" What if you don't tell him? What's the difference? ”

The book printing business had to come to a temporary halt.

Business has reached the quiet period of the past, and everyone's interest is not high recently, so they brought their daughter-in-law to Qujiangchi, and Cheng Chumo and Li Tai also sat here, and their interest was not high.

The aunt brought a stove and a pot where Li Yue could practice her cooking skills.

"Husband, give you a fishing rod, and I'll make fish soup."

Seeing that his daughter-in-law was very interested, Zhang Yang whispered: "Shall we start with the low difficulty first, such as stir-frying?" ”

Li Yue raised his chin, "What's so difficult about fish soup." ”

"Will you kill fish?"

"I've seen my husband kill me many times."

Zhang Yang compromised: "Then try it, fortunately, I brought dry food today." ”

Aunt Wang covered her mouth and laughed for a long time.

The hook hung the bait, threw the fishing line into the Qujiang pond, and just sat down and looked at Li Tai and Cheng Chumo on the side, these two guys were lying on the ground with blank eyes.

"I don't know, I thought there were two dead people here."

Zhang Yang pulled the placket of Cheng Chumo's clothes, "Last time you sent someone to Youzhou, how is it now." ”

Cheng Chu stood up silently, "Wait for the news, the boundary of Youzhou is too far away." ”

Li Tai said weakly: "Chu Mo, this time you sent people to Youzhou, how much silver did you give them?" ”

Cheng Chu combed his hair silently, "Ten silver coins." ”

"So much? Will they take the money and not come back? ”

"Will be back, believe in them."

Li Tai scratched his head in distress, "If you believe it, you can afford to pay for it." ”

Cheng Chumo stood up and patted his shirt and patted away some dust, "If a general who leads the army doesn't believe in his generals, how can he win the battle." ”

"It's not about fighting."

"If you don't trust others over a trivial matter, how can you trust others in the future?"

Seeing that Cheng Chumo was serious, Zhang Yang grinned, "Experience starts from being deceived, and Chu Mo will understand it later, and it won't get in the way." ”

A gust of wind blew, and the fish finally bit the hook, caught a palm-sized crucian carp and handed it to Li Yue.

Li Yue grabbed the fish with both hands, put it on the cutting board, and then chopped it off with a knife, and the fish jumped up and landed on the ground.

"Fish!"

Li Yue anxiously wanted to catch the fish back, and the fish fluttered and moved towards the Qujiang Pond, only to hear a pop, and the fish fell into the pond again.

The crucian carp fell into the water and swam again, never to be seen again.

Zhang Yang re-hooked the bait, and threw the fishing line into the pool, "I'll catch another one for you if it's okay." ”

Li Yue sat on the edge of the pool with his knees hugged and pursed his lips, looked down at the water and was quiet for a while, and then gritted his teeth, "It ran away?" ”

"It's okay, maybe I can catch that fish again."

Li Yue frowned and said, "How can you catch it again." ”

"Of course."

"Is this fish so stupid?"

"Actually, the memory of the fish is only about ten breaths of us, and if you take ten breaths now, the fish has forgotten that it was caught."

Li Yue looked suspicious, "Then I'll watch that fish biting the hook." ”

Li Tai took two steps back and forth, "There are a lot of fish in the pond, and it takes a long time to catch them, in fact, it is very simple to prove this matter, but all the fish that are caught are put back in the pond, and when the fish that are put down reach a certain number, if they are caught again, it can be proved that the fish are indeed quite stupid." ”

"Why do you put all the fish you catch in the pond?"

Li Tai looked at his guard, "Bring the fishing rod." ”

"Whoa."

Watching Li Tai sit on the other side of Qujiang Pond and start fishing.

Zhang Yang looked at his daughter-in-law and whispered, "Do you think it's strange to put the fish back when you put it back?" ”

Li Yue nodded solemnly, "The husband said that the memory of the fish is only ten breaths, and he comforted me to let the fish go, who would have thought that Qingque really believed it, where is the fish so stupid." ”

Li Tai caught a fish, then put the fish back in the pond, and continued to sit with a serious face, as if he was confident in this experiment.

People were joking, but they didn't expect him to do it.

The memory time of fish is indeed very short, and different fish have different memory times, and it is not accurate to say that the memory is only seven seconds.

caught another fish, this time Li Yue was much more cautious, and let the two aunts catch the fish.

Li Yue cut the fish in half with a knife, and then she was removing the scales and internal organs.

Although the treatment is a bit wilder, it looks like making fish soup.

Zhang Yang looked at Li Tai again, and the kid caught another fish and put it back in the pond again, as if he was very confident in this experiment.

Does his Li Shimin's son have a stupid energy?
