Chapter 267: It's just a petty official in the East Palace
Seeing that Zhang Yang was wearing old clothes and cutting off his sleeves, Li Yue made a straight face, "Don't you have any other clothes at home?" ”
"It's cooler to wear this way."
"This old dress has been worn for many years, and it has faded after washing." Li Yue changed Zhang Yang's coat while changing his coat, "Father and Queen Mother will think that our family has no clothes to wear, and I won't stop you from what you are dressed at home, and you can't be scornful when you go out to see your father and mother." ”
Letting his daughter-in-law change her clothes, Zhang Yang stood decadently, "The long sleeves are very hot." ”
Li Yue found an outer garment, "This outer garment is silk inside, at least it's not so hot." ”
After changing their clothes, the couple walked to the door of the house and were led to the palace by the eunuch who passed the message.
I have to say that it is not easy for other eunuchs, and he is still wearing thick clothes, and he can see that his back placket has been wet because of sweat.
There were not many people on the streets.
"Let's go down the alley, it'll be cooler there."
The eunuch stopped, and saw that there were no pedestrians on Suzaku Street, and most of them also hid in the alleys, and turned around and walked into the alleys, where there was a cool breeze, and these alleys also became a summer resort for the residents of Chang'an City.
Zhang Yang whispered: "Daughter-in-law, let's go to the village tomorrow, it should be quite cool at the foot of Lishan Mountain." ”
Li Yue smiled with a smile, "Well, I heard that Qingque has also been in the village all day long, and he hasn't returned to Chang'an City for some days." ”
Xiashan Village asked Niu Chuang to tell the county that it had changed its name to Lishan Village, the village was on the edge of the Weishui River, and it was still at the foot of the mountain.
Turning out of the alleys of Higashi City, it is inevitable that you will have to walk a little way on Suzaku Street to enter Suzaku Gate.
There were few pedestrians on the streets, and even Li Tai's bubble tea shop and soap shop were closed and didn't open until the evening was cooler.
After entering the palace gate, seeing that the sun was about to rise, the couple quickened their pace and walked all the way into the Manna Palace.
The emperor's summer is a luxury, as soon as you enter the hall, you can feel the coolness on your face, and there are pots of crushed ice cubes in the hall.
Li Shimin was sitting in the hall, and the prince was standing aside.
"Your Majesty."
"Father."
The husband and wife saluted together.
Li Shimin bit the ice cube in his mouth, "Give the seat." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The couple took the chair handed by the eunuch, the workmanship of the chair could be seen at a glance that it was made in the village, and now the furniture business is also good, and the one in the palace is also slightly decorated, and it is also inlaid with some jade, well, the deluxe version.
I could also feel the coolness of the jade on the chair.
"I asked you to write about guiding the prince yesterday, but I didn't see you send it."
Li Shimin said casually, as if he didn't care about this matter, and the more lightly he said, the more he tasted of blame.
"My husband was not feeling well yesterday." Li Yue replied first.
"I heard that many people are suffering from heat stroke today, and Zhang Shilang should also pay attention to his body." Li Chengqian also responded.
Seeing that the prince was also helping to speak, Zhang Yang simply fell silent.
Li Shimin looked at the little eunuch on the side, "Give fruit." ”
A basket of peaches was placed in front of the couple, and there were ice cubes under the peaches, which was very pleasing to look at, and chilled peaches were a rarity.
Seeing that his father gave Zhang Yang a peach, Li Chengqian hurriedly saluted.
Li Shimin said in a loud voice: "At the beginning of the school, the child opened a school and planted peach and plum trees in the courtyard, the so-called spring planting, summer can be cool, but the students who come to study must worship Mr. under the peach and plum trees." ”
Zhang Yang arched his hand and said, "The minister has heard about this. ”
Hearing him say this, the corners of Li Shimin's mouth twitched, is this kid really stupid or pretending to be stupid, don't you know what I mean?
Li Shimin coughed his throat, "You have been guiding Cheng Qian, and Cheng Qian has also benefited a lot, and I have also seen his changes." ”
Li Yue picked up this basket of peaches and saluted: "Father, we have accepted this peach." ”
Li Shimin said in a loud voice: "Although you have made mistakes in the past, I can't turn a blind eye to the achievements of your teaching to the prince, and in the future, you will enter the prince's Zhan Mansion to manage the affairs of the East Palace, serve as the prince's young master, and urge the prince to study." ”
Li Chengqian also saluted Zhang Yang, "There will be Lao Zhang Shilang in the future." ”
"The minister commands." Zhang Yang said on his lips, unhappy in his heart, and he couldn't disobey the order clearly.
The young master of the crown prince is also a big official position in the East Palace, which is equivalent to the young master Shaobao, and he is also in charge of the affairs of the East Palace, except for the teaching Zheng Gong and the prince, I am the biggest in the entire East Palace?
Looking at the daughter-in-law again, I couldn't see the joy and anger in her expression.
Zhang Yang arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the weather has been hot recently, and the minister just fell ill yesterday, I'm afraid it's ......."
Li Shimin nodded and said: "You should also pay attention to your body in hot weather, and when you are in better health, you will go to the East Palace to take up a post." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhang Yang saluted again.
Li Shimin nodded in agreement.
Step out of the cool temple of manna.
Zhang Yang took out the ice cubes that had just come and put them in his daughter-in-law's hands, "Take it cool, cool it." ”
Li Yue looked back and whispered, "There are still so many ice cubes in the basket, does the husband eat peaches?" ”
"Just five peaches."
The couple discussed in a whisper as they walked.
"One for each of us, one for each of the two aunts, and one more."
"One more for the husband, and the husband eats two."
"These peaches are quite big, I'll make a bowl of smoothies out of them when I get home."
"Fujun's promotion to the young master of the crown prince is worth celebrating."
As soon as he walked for a while, he was sweating, and Zhang Yang took off his coat to wrap the ice cubes in the basket, afraid that the ice cubes would melt when he got home.
Li Yue had ice in his mouth, and there was already fine sweat on his forehead, and it was so hot that day.
hurried all the way back to the house, Li Yue went to the bathroom as soon as he got home and took a shower with water.
Li Yue, who had just finished taking a shower, walked out of the bathroom and saw a bowl of smoothies, with chopped peaches mixed in the smoothie.
The two aunts were sitting under the eaves and eating peaches.
The bear kept licking a small basin of ice water.
The whole family hid from the scorching sun.
Zhang Yang held his bowl of smoothie, and while eating, he looked at the book in front of him, and the management method of the field and mu was written.
In terms of managing the acres of land, Datang has used the methods of the former Sui in many entries.
Li Yue put two pots of grape brew into ice water, rolled up his sleeves and took a wooden spoon to eat the smoothie one bite at a time, looking forward to drinking cold grape wine in the evening.
Seeing the book in his husband's hand, he asked curiously: "I have read this book, and it is all some land strategies." ”
Zhang Yang swallowed a mouthful of smoothie, "If our business is to be transformed, we need to transfer the industry and adjust the management, and we still need to understand what we should understand." ”
Li Yue ate the smoothie and smiled, "The husband is in the court, he really has to read this kind of book, and he must be careful of falling into the hands of others, now the husband's official position is high again, and the prince and young master are still in charge of the prince Zhan Shifu." ”
The husband was promoted, and the daughter-in-law was happy.
After the hottest noon, the streets are bustling with pedestrians in the evening.
Li Shimin listened to Fang Xuanling's report, and in the scorching summer, it seemed that the whole world had calmed down, and recently the Western Regions had also calmed down, Gaochang was no longer making trouble, and the little Turkic khans were also concentrating on grazing, and even Tubo began to recuperate and no longer expand.
Li Chengqian whispered: "Father, I don't know what Zhang Yang's condition is?" Do you want someone from the Imperial Doctor's Department to take a look? ”
Li Shimin snorted coldly: "Do you really think he is sick? ”
Li Chengqian, who was originally a little worried, was stunned.
Li Shimin put down the music in his hand, "There are indeed many people suffering from heat stroke recently, in my opinion, Zhang Yang does not look like he is sick, it should be just a trivial matter of heat stroke." ”
Seeing Li Chengqian speaking for Zhang Yang, Li Shimin frowned again and said, "You trust him very much?" ”
"Back to my father, I can't say trust, the words Zhang Yang said will be thought about a few times, and then you will understand that these words are right."
Li Shimin picked up a few more pieces of ice and put them in his mouth, "Fight with the sky, with the earth?" He can also say this kind of thing, he is really not afraid of being poked in the backbone by those old pedants, there are not many people who dare to fight with heaven and earth, this kid has a big tone and acts arrogantly, you have to think twice about everything when you get along with him, as for those words, you can just listen to those words, don't need to swagger outside. ”
"Erchen understood."
From Xuanwumen to the present, thinking about the experience along the way, Li Shimin looked at the table in front of him and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
inexplicably, I feel that Zhang Yang, this kid, will be quite bold.
Li Yue, who hadn't drunk for a long time, didn't go to sleep until he was drunk.
Take advantage of the cool night to quickly pack up all the salutes to be packed.
The next day, before dawn, the couple got up early to load all the salutes, and the two aunts helped put the wheelchair in the car.
Li Yue looked at the cleaned up courtyard, breathed a sigh of relief, and handed over the lock and key to Aunt Wang.
"Aunt Wang said to look at the yard." Li Yue took Zhang Yang's arm and smiled.
The daughter-in-law really regards the two aunts as family, and of course hopes that the two aunts can go to the village together to escape the summer.
Aunt Yang accompanied her to the village, and Aunt Wang wanted to stay and watch the house.
The daughter-in-law's concept of master and servant is not strong, and for her, the people who grew up with her are relatives.
Neither the Queen nor His Majesty had two aunts to kiss.
Pulling a cart of salutes, the conditions at home are good, and there are more salutes to bring.
In the past, there was not so much necessary furniture at home, and even if I had to go out, I would only bring a change of clothes.
When she arrived at the city gate, Aunt Yang had already prepared the carriage and horses.
"The husband is now in charge of the East Palace Zhan Mansion and the affairs of the East Palace, is there more money for our family?"
"It's true that there are too many people, but I used to work as a housekeeper in the East Palace for two stones and five buckets a year, and I only have a basket a month, and now I can't do more." Zhang Yang helped Li Yue get into the carriage, and he sat on the wheel to drive the horse.
The carriage was moving, and Li Yue stroked the hair on the bear's back, "I heard that the court has given a lot of Lu rice this year, not only Lu rice, but also the officials in the six departments of the court and the central government, all of whom have been given salt and silk." ”
After saying that, she looked forward to it, and was thinking about when her husband could have this kind of treatment.
With the family's economic conditions, there is no shortage of such a little rice.
She would think so, or her daughter-in-law's desire for her husband to become a Chan.
The commercial circulation of the Tang Dynasty is not so developed, and the money given by the court and the central government is calculated in Lu rice, and some pastries will be given during the New Year's Festival, or some silk and spices.
This is considered a benefit given by the emperor to employees.
Grain and salt are the hardest hard currencies, and the rice of a higher status is a few hundred stones a year, and a few people in a family can't eat it at all, even if they don't produce, they won't go hungry, and this is only a few.
Zhang Yang waved his horsewhip, but the horse still walked slowly, "Actually, my official position looks good, but in fact I am not a big official, generally speaking, the position of young master and young master is for important people in the court, just like buying vegetables on the street, you are buying a pound of vegetables and giving you a few turnips." ”
"For example, Mr. Wei Zheng, now he is Zheng Guogong, serving in the middle of the service, in charge of the affairs of the province, and in charge of affairs, the position is the same as the eldest grandson Wuji Fang Xuanling, but he is also the prince's master."
"Most of them are high-ranking and powerful Wenchen who brought a position in the East Palace to teach the crown prince."
Li Yue looked at the scenery along the road, "What does the husband mean that the official position of the East Palace is like a radish sent by the way to buy vegetables?" ”
Zhang Yang nodded, "And I'm just a radish, for example, I am an official in the six ministries but I am a part-time job in the East Palace, which means that I have won the trust of His Majesty, and the value of the official position in the East Palace will be very great, but it is only an official position in the East Palace, and it is only a young master, so it can only be used in the East Palace by the prestige of the prince, and it is also not of much value in the court." ”
Li Yue nodded.
"Daughter-in-law, don't think that your father is authentic, in fact, he is the least authentic, and there are a lot of idle chores to manage in the Prince Zhan Mansion."
Listening to her husband counting his father, Li Yue chuckled, "I heard the queen mother say that when I was in the Lizheng Palace, my father often counted my husband. ”
Zhang Yang looked at Chang'an City behind him in surprise, and said in his heart that you are a heavenly khan, and you speak ill of me behind your back!
"What did your father say bad things about me?"
"Say that the husband is a country boy."
"What else?"
"I won't tell you!"
"It looks like it's time for our family law to be born."
"Hmph."
Before the couple arrived at the village, Shangguan Yi and Niu Chuang came to greet them with a few villagers.
Zhang Yang took Li Yue out of the carriage, "We plan to come to the village to live for a while." ”
Niu Chuang arched his hand and said, "It's all arranged." ”
Zhang Yang followed Li Yue's gaze and looked at Lishan.
The couple glanced at each other, and she smiled softly, "Lishan is so beautiful." ”
Zhang Yang nodded and said, "It's really beautiful." ”
At first, the princess mansion was not built in the village, but Niu Chuang still left a large house alone.
This courtyard is at the end of the village, and it follows the new road built in the village until the end, with the back of Lishan Mountain, and it is also far away from the villagers' residences.
Aunt Yang personally carried the salute on the carriage and did not let anyone else do it.
This large house was built together with the construction of the village, but it has been empty since its completion, and there is a lot of dust in it.
There was no one in the family, and Aunt Yang took care of the cleaning and moving rites by herself.
"Her Royal Highness the princess and the concubine's living habits are different from others, and they love cleanliness very much, let the villagers go back, and I will clean it myself." Aunt Yang said to the villagers here.
Seeing that Li Tai and Cheng Chumo were standing not far away, Li Yue whispered: "It seems that Qingque has something to say to her husband, I will help my aunt clean the house." ”
Zhang Yang said helplessly: "Just leave the things that can't be moved, I'll come back." ”
Frowning over to the two people standing on the path, the two guys were still whispering.
Seeing that someone was coming, Li Tai's chubby face was smiling, "I heard that you were promoted to the Young Master of the East Palace, and the two of us are planning to celebrate with you." ”
Zhang Yang stood still and said, "The higher I walk in the East Palace, I wonder if His Royal Highness King Wei will be unhappy." ”
Li Tai laughed, "You and this king are brothers who have lived and died, of course, it is impossible for us to have a dislike because of the crown prince." ”
I didn't understand anything at a young age, so I said that I was a brother who had died, Zhang Yang sighed in annoyance, this guy has never seen anything called a life.
Li Tai asked the guards to bring three stools and a few volumes, "The transformation we talked about last time should also be talked about, involving the business of the three of us together." ”
Zhang Yang nodded and sat down, leaning against a tree behind him and thinking.
Cheng Chumo ate a piece of cake, "The business of braised pork has not been doing well recently, the weather is too hot, and the meat will be spoiled after a long time, so I let the brothers rest these days." ”
Li Tai is also worried, "The soap business seems to have a good momentum, and other businesses are not good, the Turks are sending more and more milk powder, but there are not many people working, and there are fewer people buying in the hot weather, and I now use more brown sugar in milk tea, and Lingnan said that I want to add more silver to sugarcane, and I want to discuss with you." ”
"First of all, you go to my laboratory and bring me the books from your roster."
Cheng Chumo bit the cake in his mouth, hurriedly ran to the laboratory, and brought a roster.
Zhang Yang opened it and looked at it, "Did you arrange the contact person you arranged before?" ”
"It's all Shangguan Yi arranging."
Zhang Yang called a Li Tai's guard, "Can you write?" ”
The guard nodded, "Yes." ”
"You write down everything I say next."
"Whoa."
The guards brought pen and ink, and the ink was made by the village itself.
Zhang Yang opened his mouth and said: "Chu Mo, your roster looks very neat layer by layer, but in fact, the organizational structure is very loose, first of all, management problems. ”
Cheng Chumo nodded vigorously, took out his concentration and listened patiently.
With Cheng Chumo's temperament, it is difficult for him to concentrate on listening, maybe he will wander to other places later, it is better to let the guards on the side write it down, and then give it to Shangguan Yi, as if Shangguan Yi listened.
"I have always taken business as the core, so that each member has a business to support themselves, but in the management to have a clear division of labor, first of all, we must know which people are in business, you can't say that people are selling things on the side, you suddenly don't let him sell, let him do other things."
Cheng Chumo nodded, but his eyes were already dilated.
At that time, the guards on the side recorded very attentively.
Zhang Yang continued: "First of all, in the distribution of manpower, first of all, we must know which people are specially used to sell braised pork, of course, these people can sell other things in the future, but they are really to provide income to the organization, and the second is to fight, in dealing with problems and things will inevitably do things, need to have a team of people in hand, they are good enough, and at a critical time to fight with outlaws." ”
Cheng Chu smiled silently: "Don't worry, our brothers are all such heroes." ”
"Hehehe......" Zhang Yang smiled bitterly: "You see this is your misunderstanding, so you can distinguish the personnel level, but in terms of management, it is still a mess, there is no core personnel, everyone just listens to your arrangement, so once you have something to do, it is a matter of time before there is a contradiction." ”
Cheng Chumo smiled awkwardly.
Zhang Yang continued: "To classify the personnel, you must prepare some thugs in your hands, you can choose people with good skills from them, and the second is that you need to command and arrange, people like Shangguanyi are indeed beneficial to you, you need people who can deal with the government, have you found that since you have Shangguanyi, you are very handy?" ”
Cheng Chu nodded silently.
"First of all, we need manpower, you need to recruit more talents, as for this kind of candidate assessment, it can be decided by Shangguanyi, the organization needs brains, it needs decision-makers, and such people can be arranged between various teams."
Cheng Chumo was a little unhappy, "You can also find some wise people." ”
"People who don't have wisdom absorb talents, they tend to be uneven, your own cognitive ability and decision-making ability are not good, and the people you don't have wisdom to find may also be unwise, so it's better to hand it over to Shangguanyi."
Zhang Yang said to the guards on the side: "You can not remember this sentence. ”
The guard picked up his pen and drew a horizontal line for the time he had just written.
"Chu Mo, your way of thinking needs to be changed, individual ability is indeed very important, but in front of the collective, individual ability does not play a big role, their ability is far less strong than a collective action together, you have to turn your previous thinking around."
Seeing Cheng Chumo's confused look, Zhang Yang sighed in annoyance, "You may not understand, let Shangguan Yi explain to you when the time comes." ”
Li Tai listened carefully, "I understand what my brother-in-law means, that is, a person who is quick to think and can speak well, but if there is no collective, his advantages are like this, if his talents are used in a collective, he can make his talents play a greater value." ”
Zhang Yang nodded in approval, Li Tai is still Li Tai, a clever little fat man quickly understood the core meaning of the words.
"Many people see that the people under Chu Mo's hands are so strong that they can fight! It's just violence, and violence doesn't settle everything, but if a group can fight and be resourceful, that's what really is powerful. ”
Zhang Yang lowered his tone, "The most important thing for you is to provide stability to your own organization, so that all kinds of people under your command can feel a kind of stability, and those idle people don't need to be too close to the core of the organization." ”
Holding Cheng Chumo's shoulder with one hand, Zhang Yang said with emotion: "You are people who want to eliminate violence and peace, you have to fight against the evil forces, you are different from those evil forces, only when the execution ability and decision-making ability go up, can you fight against the evil forces at a higher level." ”
Cheng Chumo finally nodded this time, "There are also smart people in the evil forces. ”
"That's right, without strict management and a clear structure, the organization will be a plate of scattered sand, what is the difference between stragglers and a group of mountain bandits, what we have to do is to be different from them, to be different."
Cheng Chumo slowly stood up, "I understand what you mean, um!" We have to be different from other forces. ”
