The master and apprentice walked on the path of the village, and when they saw Zhang Gongjin looking towards Longxi, Zhang Yang said: "Dasu should be on the way back, they are just investigating the situation in Gaochang this time, and it won't take too much time." ”

Zhang Gongjin couldn't help nodding, "Whether it's an elephant, Dasu, or Da'an, these three children are spoiled by their mothers, and they need to be trained, so you have to worry more." ”

"Don't bother."

Zhang Gongjin swallowed a mouthful of saliva, frowned, and said: "I have already explained, when the old man dies, he will be buried in his hometown, and your wife will also return to his hometown, and these three brothers will stay in Chang'an City." ”

"How many times have you explained what happened, I can hear what the teacher is going to say next." Zhang Yang said helplessly: "I still hope you can live a few more years." ”

Zhang Gongjin smiled and watched a group of villagers working in the fields in the distance.

On the way home, Li Yue sat in the carriage, "Husband, how is the teacher's condition?" ”

Zhang Yang sat lazily on the wheel, "Now I can only recuperate, and the disease cannot be eradicated, so as not to worsen the condition as much as possible." ”

In this era, it is not possible to give the teacher a full body examination, and then use surgery to remove the root of the disease, and the heart and lung diseases can only be maintained now.

In June of the sixth year of Zhenguan, Dasu and the soldiers and horses of the Western Regions returned safely.

As soon as Zhang Dasu came back, he went to see Zhang Daxiang and Xu Jingzong.

After several people finished discussing, they received a report from the eunuch in the palace and went to meet His Majesty together.

The three of them packed up and went to the Manna Temple, only to find that there were many people here.

Li Shimin spoke first, "Let's talk about what Gaochang is like now." ”

Noticing that everyone was looking at him, Zhang Dasu bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, Adalan is still the garrison general of Gaochang, and almost everyone in the entire Gaochang people is a warrior, even if they are doing odd jobs, they need to rush into the battlefield with a knife when necessary." ”

The people who were present and listening were also the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Wei Chigong, Hou Junji, Cheng Yanjin and others.

Zhang Dasu spoke: "After they took Gaochang City, they took care of all the treasures, and each person distributed them according to their daily needs, including all the treasures looted from outside. ”

The eldest grandson, Wuji, asked, "It is said that Adalan's men were all slaves before?" ”

Zhang Dasu replied: "That's true. ”

"What about the nobles and merchants of Gaochang in the past?"

"Now all the trade and trade in Gaochang have been arranged by special people, and some of the nobles who oppressed the slaves at the beginning have been killed, and some have been driven out, Gaochang now has 50,000 soldiers and horses, except for women and children, all of them are soldiers, and all their work is for war preparation."

Zhang Dasu handed over a piece of music, "Your Majesty, everything has been written." ”

Li Shimin glanced at it and handed it to the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling.

Everyone's expressions were very solemn.

After reading it, the eldest grandson Wuji handed it to Wei Chigong again, "The minister's previous guess is not there, there must be a master behind Gao Chang to guide him." ”

Hou Junji, the secretary of the Ministry of War, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, according to the report of the Ministry of War, many people in Gaochang City are learning the Central Plains dialect, and even ask someone to read the literacy of the former Gaochang slaves. ”

Li Shimin smiled: "It's really weird. ”

Hou Junji also took out a piece of the recital, "This is found by the personnel of the military department who went to investigate, which contains Gaochang's troop deployment, as well as the recent battle report, Gaochang took most of the Ili River." ”

The atmosphere in the Manna Hall was very bad.

Xu Jingzong spoke first: "Hou Shangshu is really thoughtful, hiding that our Ministry of Rites has investigated so many things, so he is not afraid of arousing Gaochang's hostility?" ”

Zhang Daxiang and Zhang Dasu's expressions were not very good.

This time, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites acted together, and Hou Junji actually asked people to investigate Gaochang's troops behind his back.

Xu Jingzong said again: "Rashly probing the opponent's troops, if this is known by the other party, those who don't know will think that Datang is eager to go to war with them." ”

Hou Junji lowered his voice, "So what?" Even if there is a war, the minister is willing to lead his troops to the Western Regions. ”

"Since it is ordered by His Majesty, everything must be investigated clearly, and what the military department has done is not wrong." The eldest grandson Wuji played a round.

Li Shimin handed over the two pieces of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites to Fang Xuanling, "This matter will be discussed with the Zhongshu Province, and the court will retreat tomorrow morning." ”

"Whoa!"

And the crowd withdrew from the temple of manna and dispersed before the temple.

The three of them walked on the way back to the Ministry of Rites, and Zhang Daxiang was angry in his heart, "Originally, this matter was sponsored by our Ministry of Rites, but I didn't expect the Ministry of War to secretly investigate so many things behind our backs." ”

Zhang Dasu said, "As soon as I entered the Western Regions, I felt that there was something wrong with those people in the Ministry of War, but I was the only one in the Ministry of Rites, except that I was all from the Ministry of War, so I didn't want to ask much." ”

Annoyed, seeing that Xu Jingzong's footsteps were fast, he was about to walk to the entrance of the ceremonial department, Zhang Daxiang stepped forward and stopped, "Brother Xu, why don't you say a word, don't you have any opinion on this matter?" ”

"What do you think?" Xu Jingzong looked around again, "Didn't the lower officials all say their opinions in the Ganlu Palace. ”

"It was said that we were asked to send the Ministry of Rites to Gaochang, and this military department privately sent people to do this kind of thing, if the Gaochang people found out that we were secretly investigating their troops, maybe Dasu would be taken down in Gaochang."

Xu Jingzong listened and nodded, "It's really rude to check the strength of other people's troops in Gaochang, and it's still going on behind the scenes." ”

Zhang Daxiang was stunned, "Is that all you think?" ”

Pulling Zhang Elephant to the side, Xu Jingzong whispered: "Brother Elephant also saw the situation in Ganlu Hall just now, as soon as Hou Junji spoke, Eldest Sun Wuji came to help, they are in a group." ”

Zhang Daxiang snorted coldly: "I can see it." ”

"So in the eyes of the lower officials, no matter what this matter is, it has nothing to do with the Ministry of Rites, this is what they want to investigate, and the most important thing for us is that Brother Dasu has come back safely."

looked back at Zhang Dasu, who was talking to a few officials of the Ministry of Rites.

Zhang Daxiang asked again: "Will this have any effect on Zhang Shilang?" ”

Xu Jingzong thought for a while and said in a low voice: "It won't have any big impact, this matter will be found out sooner or later, and it won't be hidden for too long." ”

Gaochang's territory has been big and bigger, this is like an investment, this investment is getting better and better, and the benefits are getting bigger and bigger, Li Yue looked at the news sent by the court, she was in a good mood, Gaochang soldiers and horses fought all the way to the middle of the Ili River, and more and more land was planted with cotton.

You can look at the news of the DPRK to make sure that your family property is getting better and better, and you don't have to inquire about the news yourself, and the people in the DPRK are doing things very well.

Li Yue watched her husband beating the hub with a hammer.

"Husband, I heard that this time they sent an envoy to Gaochang and brought a lot of grape wine."

Zhang Yang put down the hammer in his hand, "Aren't there still a few barrels of grape wine at home that haven't been drunk?" What was given to the court was given to His Majesty by Gao Chang, and it was impossible not to give nothing, and there was no need to make enemies with the court at this time. ”

Li Yue propped his chin with his hand and smiled: "Father wants Gao Chang but can't, if Gao Chang and Datang really make a move, will the husband sit idly by?" ”

Zhang Yang tried to install the wheel hub on the chair, "So to develop Gaochang well, whether it is the economy or the army, it must be developed well, and the management method of unified management and unified distribution is really easy to use, and that is only because the current Gaochang is not big, and it is a group of people with little culture, some time ago I just asked Xu Jingzong to send a letter to the past, slow down the pace of development, and increase the teaching work." ”

Just as he was about to help her husband install the wheelchair, Li Yue noticed a few small wheels on the side, "What are these small wheels going to do?" ”

"This is rosewood, a very hard wood, which I bought in Dongshi, and I plan to make a few small cars into wheels for transportation in the village."

"I'll hold the wheels for my husband." Li Yue stretched out his hand to hold the hub.

Zhang Yang beat the hammer to fix it, and after a few rivets were driven in, he tried the stability, "Well, it's not bad." ”

"Husband, can I take a shower at night?"

"You wash during the day." Zhang Yang nodded.

"Okay." Li Yue smiled happily, and when she came back to her senses, she felt that something was wrong, "Husband." ”

"What's wrong?" Zhang Yang patted the sawdust off his hand and stood up.

"Why am I washing during the day?"

"Because I'm going to wash at night."

Li Yuehu looked at her husband suspiciously, she was very happy to be able to use the shower, "Do you have to hum when you use the shower?" ”

The movement in his hand paused, and Zhang Yang slowly raised his head.

Seeing that the daughter-in-law blinked innocently and explained: "That's my habit, you don't have to hum and sing." ”

"When did the husband have this habit?"

"I won't tell you."

"Hmph."

Li Yue snorted coldly and went to read his book.

A team of guards appeared at the door of their house, they carried a large pile of wood into the courtyard, and then Li Chengqian also came in, "This is all the wood you want, I don't know if it's enough." ”

"Put it all here." Zhang Yang pointed to a corner of the courtyard wall.

Li Chengqian smiled: "Look at you, wearing this coarse cloth clothes, I don't know if I think you are just a coolie." ”

Zhang Yang helped these guards carry the wood, "It's easy to work in this kind of clothes, but if I wear clothes with expensive fabrics, I'm afraid of tearing my clothes." ”

"That's right." Li Chengqian asked these guards to build all the wood, and said: "The statistical method you said is very profitable, and you must have a good discussion with you when you come to the East Palace another day, so I will leave first." ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince walks slowly."

When everyone left, Li Yue was curious: "What statistical method?" ”

Zhang Yang sharpened the wood, "It's statistical analysis and classification." ”

Li Yue raised his chin, "Is that the coordinator I learned?" ”

"The prince didn't learn as much as you, and he learned slowly, not to your level."

"I went to the bath."

"Let's not mix our clothes together."

"I see." Li Yue waved his little hands and took small steps with excitement.

The difficulty of the wooden wheelchair is the firmness, using five load-bearing shafts to share the pressure, which can also allow Yan Li to make a wheelchair, but it is not as practical as he is to hand it over to others.

There was the sound of running water in the house, if it had been before, the daughter-in-law might not have even closed the door, but now the door is closed.

The bear lay on a pile of wood, yawned, and scratched its belly.

The guy grows up almost every day, and now it's up to its knees when it stands upright.

A bird flew by and landed on the bear's head, but the bear did not react, not even shake its head to drive the bird away.

Even if it is taken away one day, it will not resist.

Li Yue, who had finished taking a bath, walked out of the house, she had already changed into clean clothes, standing in the sun in white clothes, and her skin was even brighter after taking a bath.

She used to be very thin, but now she looks a lot more Peugeot.

The more he looked at it, the more he felt that it was wrong, Zhang Yang frowned and said, "Isn't this my clothes?" ”

Li Yue wiped her long hair, "The weather is too hot, my husband's clothes are spacious, and it will be more comfortable to wear." ”

After every shower, she looks more energetic than usual.

After being a little stunned for a while, Zhang Yang came back to his senses, "Last time, I asked Niu Chuang to plant some rice, and I will go to see how the rice grows another day?" ”

Seeing that it was very inconvenient for her to comb her hair sideways, Zhang Yang washed his hands and took her wooden comb, "I'll help you." ”

Li Yue sat upright and nodded.

"Your hair is a little messy, I'll trim it for you."

After speaking, Zhang Yang rummaged through his toolbox, took out his own knives, a scraper and a pair of scissors with wooden handles, fortunately, he was usually idle and liked to make some furniture by himself, and the iron was also polished by himself.

took the bronze mirror to the courtyard and put it on the table, Zhang Yang supported Li Yue's back, "Sit upright." ”

Hold her neck again, "Don't shake your head." ”

The daughter-in-law's hair is long and shiny, and now it is a little too thick.

Take the scissors and thin her hair first, and tuck the ends high.

Aunt Wang and Aunt Yang came back together, and they didn't bother when they saw the scene of the couple.

Zhang Yang held a comb in one hand and scissors in the other hand to trim skillfully, "You don't like hair falling down on your forehead, try to comb it to both sides in the future." ”

Li Yue nodded lightly.

After working for a while, my hair dried out after trimming.

Li Yue went to wash her hair again, washed all the broken hair, and walked into the yard again, she squinted her eyes and faced the sky to tie her hair back together.

The daughter-in-law's facial features are very good, as long as she combs her hair neatly, she looks good.

"Husband, what time do you take a shower at night?"

Zhang Yang wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Make the bearing of the wheelchair first, and I'll wash it after dinner." ”

Li Yue was holding scissors in her hand, she squinted and smiled, "I also want to cut my husband's hair." ”

Why is the appearance of her smiling with scissors inexplicably a little infiltrating?

Until the night, Zhang Yang sat indifferently and looked at himself in the bronze mirror, frowning from time to time, Li Yue still hurt a little when he went down with scissors, and his technique was clumsy.

"Why don't you cut it?" Zhang Yang hesitated to speak.

"Nope." Li Yue replied decisively, "The hair of the children in the palace is taken care of by the queen mother, and in the future, our children will also want me to trim their hair, so we must learn it." ”

"Why don't I get you some wigs and let you practice?"

"No need, it's enough to have your husband's hair."

I saw Li Yue click again, and a bundle of hair fell.

Zhang Yang's scalp tightened, why did she still look happy.

"I think the hair on my forehead can be cut off."

"That's it."

"Wait! Not here. ”

"Really?"

The couple whispered in the house, and the bear wriggled his fat body, sniffed the hair on the ground, and left.
