Daan used to talk very little, and he would only say it when he asked him.

Even if he asked, he wouldn't be able to say so much like now, Li Chengqian sat cross-legged and took a sip of tea, "According to what you mean Zhang Yang wants to hold his family business in his own hands?" Wasn't the family business his? ”

Zhang Daan bowed, "His Royal Highness the Prince, there is a supply and demand relationship in the circulation of goods. ”

Carefully digesting these words, Li Chengqian, who often reads sage books on weekdays, is very lacking in knowledge about this kind of supply and demand and business at the moment.

"How do you know?"

Zhang Daan bowed down and said, "My brother often says that I should think more, and in addition to thinking more, the minister reads books in the Chongwen Pavilion on weekdays, and also goes to the Hongwen Pavilion to listen to the scholars and literati discuss things, and I have benefited a lot." ”

Li Chengqian nodded clearly, "No wonder Zhang Yang often goes to read, sure enough, reading really makes people smart." ”

Zhang Da'an smiled innocently, "Chen has always felt that he is quite stupid. ”

Seeing his smile, Li Chengqian felt that he had returned to his original form, and he had become the same as the Zhang Da'an he knew before.

Zhang Da'an said again: "In the past, the minister's mind was always groggy when he read books, but now the minister has found that reading in the Chongwen Pavilion can make the minister's mind much clearer, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can also try." ”

Li Chengqian walked to the front of the Chongwen Pavilion, pushed open the old door, picked up a book, sat down cross-legged and looked at it, read it for half an hour, and sighed.

"What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince think?" Zhang Da'an asked.

Li Chengqian shook his head and put the scroll back in its place, "It's useless at all." ”

The village has just reached its infancy, and there are many things to take care of, so I have been living in the village for the two days since the start of construction.

Li Yue and Xiaoyi sat in the account room, each peeling off the abacus on their abacus and counting silently.

Xiao Wu sat on the small bench next to him, holding the pen in his clumsy little hand, and writing with his lotus-like arms swinging.

Work began in the village, and the accounts became more and more numerous, and the accounts began to become complicated.

It takes a long time to calculate in the accounting room.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess's cotton factory yesterday's accounts have been settled."

Li Yue took the account and looked at the contents on it, "It's a good calculation, you can record the accounts on the general ledger." ”

Xiao Yi nodded and said, "I'll do it." ”

Opening the teacup made by her husband, Li Yue opened the lid and drank a sip of tea, and then glanced at Xiao Wu, who was concentrating on writing, although the words written were not good-looking, she was very serious.

Li Yue smiled softly.

Li Xiaogong and Li Tai were leaning against the wall, an old and a young were vomiting by the wall, and they didn't know how much they drank last night, from yesterday's madness until they woke up now, it didn't stop.

Zhang Yang asked Li Tai's guards, "Is His Royal Highness King Wei secretly drinking wine again?" ”

The guard said with a straight face: "His Royal Highness King Wei didn't drink secretly. ”

"Really?"

The guard lowered his head and said helplessly: "Your Highness won't let us speak." ”

Zhang Yang looked at the warehouse where the alcohol was stored, "I still have to add a few more big locks in the future." ”

The guard said again: "Actually, there is a reason for the incident, it is the king of Hejian who wants to drink, and the king of Wei has been persuaded several times to no avail, so he has to drink together." ”

"Then how did the King of Hejian know about alcohol?"

"Your Highness said it."

"Is it possible that King Wei originally wanted to drink it and said it on purpose?"

"This ......"

Zhang Yang said to him, "You go and catch a duck." ”

"Is Zhang Shilang going to eat duck? Kill it for you. ”

"No, I want to live."

"I understand, Zhang Shilang is going to kill with his own hands."

"You don't talk nonsense, His Royal Highness King Wei will be so depraved with your share of the credit."

When the duck came, Zhang Yang took out a can of alcohol and came to Li Tai and Li Xiaogong, who were weak.

Li Tai smelled the duck and vomited again on the spot.

Patting him on the back, Zhang Yang said patiently: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei knows, why don't I let you drink alcohol?" ”

Li Tai wiped his mouth, "You said that people who drink alcohol will have an accident." ”

"Then what I'm going to do next, please watch out."

Li Xiaogong sat against the wall with blank eyes.

Bringing a funnel, Zhang Yang stuffed a section of the loophole into the duck's beak, then poured the entire can of alcohol down, and then put the duck back on the ground.

Under Li Tai's gaze, the duck first pounced for a while, and then swayed on the ground after a few breaths, and finally reached the ground, with the duck's beak open.

After waiting for an hour, the duck was dead.

Zhang Yang shaved open the duck's belly in front of him.

As soon as he opened his stomach, Li Tai vomited violently again.

"His Royal Highness King Wei, please look at the internal organs of the duck." Zhang Yang took out a bunch of internal organs, "Look at the duck intestines, look at the duck's stomach, the duck's intestines have begun to ooze blood, what will happen if people drink too much." ”

"Why torment me." Li Tai vomited and coughed until he found that what he spit out was bloodshot and cold sweat.

Zhang Yang patted him on the back and helped him calm down, "If you want to drink like this in the future, I can only clean it up for you, and I can only help you accept the silver money from King Wei, and those who don't know think I'm trying to make money and kill me." ”

Li Tai's little face turned pale.

"I won't drink it anymore." Zhang Yang asked with a smile.

Looking at the dead duck again, Li Tai waved his hand and said, "I listen to my brother-in-law and don't drink it." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Tai started again, and there was nothing in his stomach to vomit, almost even bile.

Shangguan Yi hurriedly ran over, "Zhang Shilang, the caravan from the Western Regions has arrived." ”

"Take good care of King Wei, raise your stomach for a few days, and don't let him eat greasy."

"Whoa!" Li Tai's guards stood straight.

Following Shangguan Yi to the village, Zhang Yang whispered: "Next time, store the alcohol in a different place, it's best not to let King Wei know." ”

Shangguan Yi asked, "Are you afraid of being stolen?" ”

Zhang Yang nodded, "Recently, the village has recruited rats. ”

"Understood, I'll arrange it later."

Looking back at Li Tai again, he was already lying on the chair supported by his own guards, and as for the king of Hejian County, he had not recovered from his hangover, and he was still wearing a woman's clothes.

More than a dozen horse-drawn carriages are at the entrance of the village.

The person who came was the person who handed over the national seal of Gaochang State to him before.

Asking Shangguan Yi to unload the cotton, Zhang Yang whispered to the Gaochang slave: "Is the general's body okay?" ”

The other party bowed down and replied, "Everything is fine, the general has been looking forward to seeing Zhang Shilang again." ”

It seems that this garrison general Adalan misses his family, and Zhang Yang said to him: "His family is all right, I will find a chance for him to see his family again." ”

Several truckloads of cotton were unloaded quickly, and Zhang Yang held his hands and asked, "I don't know what your name is." ”

"We didn't have names, we were born slaves."

"Now you are no longer slaves."

"The general is very good to us, and there are already women who have asked her to give birth to a child."

"It's been a big change in the past two years." Zhang Yang looked at him and said: "If you don't have a name, you must always have a code name, and you will be called No. 1 in the future, this is the code name I gave you." ”

He suddenly knelt on the ground, "Thank you for the name." ”

"Your Guanzhong words are really getting better and better."

No. 1 stood up again, "The general captured fifteen Central Plains people in the Western Regions and asked them to teach us. ”

"Did he capture someone?"

"Yes."

"Is this how you people in the Western Regions invite the Master? It's so tough, there is less humanistic care, and the folk customs of the Western Regions are curious. ”

"I have seen the nobles of the Western Regions before, and those nobles are very polite to the scholars in the Central Plains, because these fifteen scholars refused to accept the price given by the general, and the general simply did not pay them, and tied them up and let them teach."

One also scratched his head, "But they're obedient now, just put the knife on their neck." ”

was speechless for a while, and Zhang Yang even sympathized with these fifteen teaching masters.

Since the opening of the Silk Road, the people of the Western Regions have known that there is a wealthy Tang Dynasty, who can travel between the Central Plains and the Western Regions through the Silk Road, and can earn silver money, and even exchange it for salt and iron.

For those who can come to Datang, speaking the original dialect is also a very important skill.

"Zhang Shilang, we still have a lot of cotton outside the customs."

"Can't you bring it in?"

No. 1 nodded and said: "The general guarding the pass said that we can only enter the customs at a maximum of thirty people at a time, and we can't let too many people in, and now we have more than three hundred wagons of cotton waiting, and a lot of cotton is being transported to the Hexi Corridor." ”

Zhang Yang nodded with a fixed face, "Transportation is indeed a very important thing. ”

No. 1 took out an account, "This is the account of this trip to cotton, and I also ask Zhang Shilang to look at it." ”

The account says that the price of the goods is one hundred.

The price is very low, a carriage weighs about 300 catties, and the troika weighs a total of 1,000 catties, that is, half a ton.

Basically, it's the cost of transportation, and as for the cotton, it's given away for free.

That is, the value of cotton is not so high now, if the cotton enters the Central Plains, there is a market price after the real circulation, the price will be more than that, counting the transportation costs, the price will not only increase several times.

"Leave the transportation problem to me, take the money and go back to pay the errand first." Zhang Yang took out a piece of silver cake and handed it to him, "If you have more, I will reward you with me." ”

"Xie Zhang Shilang, this piece of silver cake is worth ten times, and the money for the goods will be made up later."

"Okay."

Zhang Yang smiled and nodded.

No. 1 saluted again, "I'll take my leave first." ”

Nodding to say goodbye to them, Shangguan Yi also took a look at the accounts, "The price is quite low." ”

Zhang Yang smiled: "Are you still used to living in a new house?" ”

Shangguan Yi arched his hand and said: "It's all very good, the women's relatives in the family have also come to visit a few days ago, they are very relieved, it is this office, I have been used to running in the village for a long time, and I have to sit there and wait for things to come before I do it, I am not used to it." ”

"You train more people in the village and establish a set of our management system as soon as possible."

"I understand, there is also whether the ink for printing is more prepared, the factory can print nearly 1,000 pages a day, and the ink consumption is very fast."

Zhang Yang patted his head and almost forgot that there is another thing, the increase in factory efficiency will also lead to an increase in the consumption of raw materials.

Shangguan Yi asked, "Do you want to find Brother Why bother to arrange some oil?" ”

Now I have to go back to why bother to help.

After finishing these things, Zhang Yang sat on the side of the village road, watching the villagers in the factory in the distance constantly moving boxes of goods out.

Looking at this scenery, it makes people feel happy, these are all silver coins.

When Li Tai finally recovered, he was pulled by Li Yue's ears.

"Imperial sister, imperial sister, I know it's wrong." Li Tai tilted his head sideways, endured the pain, and staggered and ran.

The little fat man's ears were pinched red, which made Yu Yi laugh all the time.

Until Li Yue let go, Li Tai covered his ears aggrievedly.

Li Yue shouted: "You swear now in front of your brother-in-law that you will never steal alcohol again in the future." ”

Li Tai pointed to the sky and said aggrievedly: "Brother-in-law, I swear by the three-thirds of the people in the village that I will never steal wine again in the future." ”

Seeing that his brother-in-law didn't speak, Li Tai looked at Li Yue again, "Sister Huang, is this okay?" ”

Li Yue looked at his younger brother and had a feeling of hating iron but not steel, if it was another princess, he wouldn't dare to pull Li Tai's ears, but Li Tai really listened to his sister's words.

There are many princes and princesses in the palace, and there are not many people in the clan who can get close to a prince like Li Tai.

Zhang Yang coughed his throat, "There is something you need to do right now." ”

Li Tai stood respectfully, "Brother-in-law, please speak." ”

"We still have a lot of cotton outside the customs that can't get in, can you get your people to help bring the cotton in, and now they are all being held in the Hexi Corridor."

Li Tai recalled, "The guard in the Hexi Corridor is General Niu Jinda. ”

"That's right."

"If it's not enough for the king to send someone over, it's better to have someone in the army to help and let someone in our army escort you."

Zhang Yang pondered, "Let the King of Hejian help?" ”

Li Tai took a bowl of hot water brought by his imperial sister, the little fat man saluted sensibly, then smiled flatteringly, took a sip of hot water and continued, "It is indeed convenient to ask Uncle Wang to help, but since Uncle Wang was appointed as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he has long lost the military power in his hands, and the people who followed Uncle Wang back then have long become other people's generals." ”

"So it's hard to do?"

"It's not that it's not easy, you can ask General Cheng Yanjin for help, General Cheng and General Niu Jinda have a very good personal relationship."

"I'll think of a way, you go and rest first."

Li Tai flattered Li Yue.

Li Yue nodded before he dared to leave.

"Qingque is still young, and he is afraid that others will be so wasted when he drinks like this." Li Yue looked worried.

"King Wei is only twelve years old now, it is the time to grow his body, his gastrointestinal digestion ability at this age is good, and his self-healing ability is also very good."

Hearing what her husband said, Li Yue shook his head and sighed: "That can't let him drink like this, I heard that you can't drink alcohol in the army." ”

Zhang Yang said with a smile: "You can put him in the army to exercise him." ”

Before returning to Chang'an City, Zhang Yang and Li Yue came to visit Zhang Gongjin together, and at this moment, Wu Shi Tong was also here to talk and laugh with him.

Xiao Wu ran to the side of the warrior Tong, "Daddy, Her Royal Highness the princess has a lot of delicious food at home. ”

When the warrior saw his daughter, he smiled and hugged her, "I still have to listen to the princess when I go back." ”
