Xiao Wu nodded, "My daughter remembers." ”

The couple saluted Wu Shi Tong and Zhang Gongjin.

"Teacher, Ying Guogong, let's go back to Chang'an City."

Zhang Gongjin stroked his beard and said: "Da'an has come to visit the old man, and this child is much more sensible than before." ”

"The students think that Da'an looks honest and wooden, but in fact he is the smartest of the three brothers in the teacher's family, but he usually lacks a little bit of allocation."

Zhang Gongjin said with emotion: "It's better for this kid to be stupid, it's better to be stupid." ”

Li Yue said goodbye to his wife, and the couple left the village with Xiao Wu and got into the carriage home.

Everyone is happy that the start of construction is going well, and it seems that although the first step of the Lishan industrial cluster has been stumbling, the result is finally good, but most of the people in the village are illiterate at the moment.

The cultivation of cultural quality is a very important work, and the more you develop, the more you realize the importance of talents.

Xiao Wu is very sensible, she sits quietly next to Li Yue.

"This time, the accounts are also coordinated, and in the future, you only need to check the incoming and out, but Xiaoyi has more accounts to do, and I don't know if she will make mistakes."

While talking, Li Yue also helped Xiao Wu fix his hair bun.

"The cotton has been settled, I asked Shangguan Yi to find him for help in the matter of oil, and there will be results in a few days."

"Why can't cotton come in from outside the customs?"

Zhang Yang's expression was solemn, "Most of the people who escorted the cotton were from the Western Regions, and the people from the Western Regions in the brigade were all soldiers from Gaochang, so naturally they couldn't be easily put into the customs, and it was good to be able to let more than a dozen people enter the customs." ”

"General Cheng Biting Jin has always been open and open in his life, and it is inevitable that he will open his mouth when dealing with him, and if he wants more benefits, his husband needs to be cautious."

Aunt Yang rode a horse to escort the back of the carriage.

Zhang Yang looked at Chang'an City in the distance, "Actually, our family has a wide network in Chang'an City, so we don't necessarily have to look for General Cheng, the old Cheng family's door is strong, just deal with Chu Mo." ”

"I don't know why, after the last time I saw General Cheng, I was unhappy for a few days, everything went wrong, is there anything wrong with this person."

went home to sort out the accounts and planning matters, the couple were idle at home for a few days, Li Yue still patiently taught Xiao Wu mathematics, from the previous counting, now she has learned addition and subtraction within ten.

Zhang Yang came to the East Palace early to be on duty.

Li Chengqian came back from the next dynasty and was carrying sandbags.

Walking to Da'an's side, Zhang Yang asked, "Has Changsun Chong come to find the prince in the past two days?" ”

Zhang Da'an also held his hands, "Not in the past two days, I went to the Hongwen Museum every day to record what people talked about, saying that the eldest grandson invited a lot of people to study those two questions." ”

"Is there a result?"

Zhang Da'an shook his head.

Li Chengqian's action of hitting the sandbag was a glance, his legs were straight, punching and punching the sandbag, and his body was not moving, Zhang Yang couldn't help but be curious: "What a weird posture, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince practices like this?" ”

Zhang Da'an nodded, "Well, I haven't stopped day after day." ”

After punching the sandbag, Li Chengqian wiped his sweat, "Lone got up late today, and he came to hit the sandbag after the next court, just as you said that long-term persistence is good for the body, and now if you don't hit the sandbag for half an hour every day, Lone is also unhappy, and he is refreshed after playing." ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still needs to insist, if you stop for a while, it will be difficult to hold on again."

"Don't worry, Lone will insist, that is, this sandbag is not durable, a sandbag can only be alone for three days, thinking that in the future, I will use leather to make a stronger sandbag."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has taken another step forward from the all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness and beauty, which is gratifying."

The two walked into the East Palace, and Zhang Yang stood up and said, "I don't know if the prince is free today?" ”

Li Chengqian washed his face and changed into a clean shirt, "You just say it, there is nothing to arrange today." ”

"I want to visit someone, I don't know if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can go with me."

"Who is it?"

"General Qin Qiong, I don't know how his health is."

Li Chengqian nodded, "It's okay." ”

Before leaving, Li Chengqian also brought some musk that was only available in the palace out of the palace.

Zhang Da'an also followed behind, and Suzaku Street in autumn was the most lively.

"I heard that your village's rice harvest is about to begin?"

"Come on, we should be able to harvest by November at the latest." Zhang Yang thought about it again, "The harvest shouldn't be too good, and it's still a little late to plant in August." ”

"If the acres of land in Guanzhong can be cultivated like this, wouldn't it be an extra grain endowment?"

Zhang Yang explained: "The prince's words are wrong, and the reason why Lishan can grow rice is also because of the water source provided by the Weishui River, which allows us to open up paddy fields. ”

"Most of the acres of land in Guanzhong are not paddy fields, and they are related to the time of day, if this year's spring comes later, winter comes early, rice can not be planted."

Li Chengqian nodded and said, "When you say that, you don't know much." ”

"In fact, there is another thing, we in Lishan are not planning to reclaim the fields anymore recently, and our focus is still on the factory."

】

Walking all the way, Li Chengqian said curiously: "You want to put more manpower in the factory." ”

Zhang Yang did not deny, "His Royal Highness the Prince, farming can get food, but not wealth, it is difficult for a generation of people facing the loess to cultivate a reader, in today's era of expensive books, it takes a lot of cost to cultivate a reader." ”

Smiling with relief, Zhang Yang continued: "If people have money in their hands, they can afford to buy more books, so it will not be difficult to read. ”

"Of course, from an economic point of view, it is unrealistic to increase the income of the entire Central Plains to make people afford books, and it is still necessary to reduce the price of books."

"By the way, some people have a lot of words about the East Palace recently."

"What do you mean? Someone gossiping? ”

Li Chengqian carried one hand and the other with his sleeve on his chest, "At the beginning, because of the question, those literati were blocked out of the East Palace, and now they have quite an opinion on the East Palace, and some people are talking about it." ”

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "It turns out that they have an opinion." ”

Li Chengqian said again: "Lone is not worried about himself, but he is worried that there will be more and more words from them, which will endanger you, and it will inevitably cause more trouble when it reaches the ears of my father." ”

"Actually, I don't care too much about reputation."

"Lone knows you don't care about fame, you just feel cautious."

After thinking about it again, Zhang Yang smiled: "It's better to make a suggestion box, let them put all their opinions in the box, and the so-called turn bad things into good things." ”

"In this way, people's opinions can be sent to the East Palace, and naturally they can also reflect the virtues of the prince's words, and their words will also be invisible, and His Royal Highness the prince is one step closer to the all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical and beauty."

Li Chengqian laughed, "This person is too ......"

"Yes, it's all the cleverness of the villains in the market, it's just a small means, it's not surprising."

While talking, he has come to the front of the Wing Country Mansion.

The people who came knew that it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who had come down, so they panicked and went to report it.

Qin Qiong came to greet him in person, "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince, Young Master Zhang." ”

Li Chengqian helped up Qin Qiong, who was saluting, "The general doesn't need to be polite, in fact, Zhang Yang is going to visit today, and he will come together." ”

Qin Qiong invited the prince and Zhang Yang into the mansion, and after the three of them sat down, stacks of dishes were served.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the last general is a rough man, and there is no elegance to appreciate at home......"

"It's okay, Lone just came to visit the general." Li Chengqian interrupted.

"Actually, it's good to be so simple at all." Zhang Yang picked up a dish and ate it.

Qin Qiong was a little embarrassed, "There is no alcohol at home." ”

"Lone hasn't been drinking alcohol lately, and for the sake of his body, the general shouldn't drink either."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right."

While speaking, Qin Qiong looked at Zhang Yang and picked up a bowl of tea and said: "I heard that Lishan made the secret recipe of Jinchuang medicine public, and did not seek money, such a mind will be admired, and a cup of tea will be toasted to Young Master Zhang with tea." ”

Zhang Yang also picked up the tea bowl, "The general laughed, the secret recipe of Jinchuang Medicine is simple, even if Lishan does not make it public, someone will study it." ”

Qin Qiong's complexion was much better than before, even if the three of them didn't drink, they could talk for a long time just by listening to Li Chengqian and Qin Qiong talk about the past.

Zhang Yang arched his hand and said: "I heard that it is General Niu Jinda who is now stationed in the Hexi Corridor?" ”

Qin Qiong stroked his beard and said, "Exactly." ”

"Now Lishan has one more business, but this business has a connection with Guanwai, and there is something to ask the general to help."

Qin Qiong nodded and said: "I said at the beginning, I owe you a favor, you have the mind to make the gold sore medicine public, and I should help you." ”

Zhang Yang hesitated, frowning and thinking.

The words stopped, and Li Chengqian asked, "What is it that makes you so difficult?" ”

"That's it for now." Zhang Yang stood up, "I don't know if the general can send his own troops to go to the Hexi Corridor to help him go down and get cotton." ”

Qin Qiong's reputation is very good both in the green forest and in the army now.

Even if Qin Qiong is not in the army, there are still many martial artists in his mansion.

As an idol in the martial arts group, even if he does not use his military position, Qin Qiong's appeal is still very strong.

"It's such a small thing." Qin Qiong nodded and said, "A letter to Niu Jinda, and then send someone to transport it." ”

Zhang Yang said: "It's just that there is a lot of cotton, and it needs to be transported back and forth for a long time, but we can give the cost of transportation, and the price is definitely the most suitable." ”

Qin Qiong said with a smile: "You can make the secret recipe public, so that more soldiers can have medicine on the battlefield, what is this little favor, and it will be arranged here." ”

"Then thank you, General."

"Compared with this effort, a certain is not as good as the original favor."

The conversation in the mansion spread outside the door, and the person who looked like a small man kept listening, and when the conversation was over, Qin Qiong said goodbye to the prince and Zhang Yang, and he left in a hurry.

The content of this conversation was quickly written down and sent to Li Shimin.

The dialogues of the prince, Qin Qiong, and Zhang Yang were all recorded in the eucalyptus.

"That's what they went to see Qin Qiong for?"

Li Junxian nodded and said: "All the words have been recorded, and the last general has asked several times, and there are no mistakes in the relays of several people." ”

The wind and grass in Chang'an City can't hide His Majesty's eyes, and the important generals in the court, Li Jing, Wei Chigong, Li Daozong, Qin Qiong and others all have His Majesty's eyes staring.

All this was done in secret, and even the most trusted of the Empress and Her Majesty did not know about it.

Li Shimin finished reading the content of the above conversation, "Zhang Yang, this kid is still very concerned about his cotton. ”

Li Junxian replied: "Your Majesty, the last general sent someone to inquire about the side, Zhang Shilang's dealings with the Western Regions are indeed interests, Zhang Shilang will buy cotton every time, and every time there is a money exchange, our people see that Zhang Shilang gave silver money." ”

Li Shimin burned the silk that recorded the content of the conversation, "So the matter between Gao Chang and Zhang Yang is just a transaction? ”

Li Junxian knelt down on one knee and bowed his head and replied: "That's all I have found so far. ”

Li Shimin looked at the candle flame with his head bowed, "How is the factory in Lishan?" Is cotton really made into cotton? ”

"Lishan is very xenophobic, and the people who use it are all Lishan's own people, and our people can't get in, but the last general has always made people stare around the village, but if anyone has entered the village or left the village, a certain general has let people record."

Li Shimin nodded, "You step back first." ”

"The last will be retired."

Waiting for Li Junxian to leave, Li Shimin took out a scroll of silk books, which was sent by Qiuzi Kingdom, which wrote all kinds of changes in Gaochang, and now Gaochang has 30,000 soldiers and armor, and he is brave.

The slaves at the beginning became brave warriors in the blink of an eye, guarding the throat of Gaochang's trade roads, so that the robbers of the Western Regions had no way to start, and the slave rebellion replaced the old nobles of Gaochang, but made Gaochang's trade better than before, and the taxes collected were less.

Reading to the people of Gaochang, paying more attention to etiquette, treating people kindly, reducing punishment, and accommodating the population, their step-by-step development seems to make Gaochang the overlord of the Western Regions.

The war between Gaochang and the Western Turks has been calm for a period of time, and now it is a resurgence of the situation, but in the face of Gaochang, the Western Turks, who are like scattered sands, can only retreat step by step.

This was all recorded by the lord of the country of Qiuzi and sent to the palace.

All the countries in the Western Regions are afraid of such a growing Gaochang, just like the eldest grandson Wuji said, there must be a master behind Gaochang to guide him.

Gaochang, who had experienced a slave rebellion, planned to carve it up at this time, but before he started to carve up Gaochang's slaves, he told all the forces in the Western Regions that Gaochang was theirs.

Now to say that there is no master behind Gao Chang to guide him, Li Shimin doesn't believe it.

Seeing that Gaochang, a land of wealth in the Western Regions, can develop and grow, Li Shimin's eyes became more and more hot.

The emperor, who was bent on building up his deeds, slowly stood up, walked to a huge map, and looked from the Hexi corridor of the map to the Western Regions, and then to Tibet.

The light of the oil lamp was shaking, and Li Shimin's eyes were gloomy.

It was almost night, Zhang Da'an left the East Palace and came to a wine shop in Chang'an City, where the store took care of him very warmly, serving a stack of mutton, a large bowl of millet rice, and a pot of wine.
