Hearing Zhang Yang say this, Xu Jingzong looked at the pond with empty eyes, and then looked up at the sky, "This person lives for a lifetime, why is it so difficult." ”

No. 1 received the words and went to work.

Zhang Yang patted him on the shoulder, "Old Xu, have you thought about how to live in this life?" ”

Xu Jingzong whispered: "The most important thing in life is passed on from generation to generation. ”

Zhang Yang said again: "Is this matter done?" ”

Xu Jingzong nodded, "The children are already going to fight on the street." ”

"Do you have any regrets?"

"Nope."

Zhang Yang sat beside him, holding his hands and frowning at Chi Shui, "Since you have no regrets in this life, why don't you give it a go." ”

Xu Jingzong sighed: "How do Zhang Shilang think he wants to live in this life? ”

"I think it's boring to think about such a big thing as life, that's what only saints do, I'm just a mortal."

"Obviously you asked first." Xu Jingzong whispered and left Qujiangchi all the way.

Looking at the daughter-in-law again, she was very rewarding and caught two palm-sized fish.

Xiao Wu bullied Xiao Xiong from time to time, her mind was not on fishing at all, this girl was really not a character who would sit quietly and fish.

Watching Li Yue kill the fish he caught on the spot, his movements were quite skillful.

After putting the fish in the pot and stir-frying it first, Li Yue asked in a low voice, "Can you take down the turtle?" ”

Zhang Yang frowned and said: "I don't know, let's see what Adalan does, now send a letter to the Western Regions, and when Gaochang receives my news, it should be March, first fight with Qiuzi, and after the battle, I hope not to delay the cultivation of cotton." ”

Li Yue whispered: "Qiuci has a long history, from being controlled by Rouran in the past, and then conquered by Emperor Wei later, since the former Sui Dynasty has been subordinate to the Western Turks, and now they have a lot of connections with the Western Turks. ”

"In the past two years, Gaochang has been conquest of the Western Turks for the cotton land, Qiuci is located on the main road of the Silk Road, and often has to face wars, but it is still necessary to rely on the Western Turks as a backer to gain a foothold in the Western Regions."

As soon as the conversation changed, Li Yuehu doubted: "Husband thinks that this time the real intention of the Tang Dynasty will be instructed by the Western Turks." ”

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "I think so too." ”

Li Yue lifted his sleeves, put garlic and ginger into the pot, and then patiently stir-fried.

Zhang Yang admired the appearance of her making fish soup, a few strands of hair fell messily on her face, and as the fire in the stove grew bigger and bigger, she also seemed a little scrambled, until she was relieved to pour water and cover the pot and let the fish cook first.

Then the rice was washed again, and the yellow rice grains were not completely husked, and when the fish soup was almost ready, she tasted it carefully, nodded with a small mouth, and then simmered the rice.

Xiao Wu didn't know when he had fallen asleep on the bear's back.

It also resigned itself to its fate, and in the face of the torture of this little devil, it didn't even have the strength to resist.

The family had a meal in the water pavilion before returning home.

There are still some days before the opening of the 15th dynasty, Zhang Yang and Li Yue went to the village first, ready to start work again next year.

Shangguan Yi and Niu Chuang led people to lay a solid foundation in Weinan, because two or three new workshops were to be built.

Wu Shi Tong hugged his daughter, saw that Xiao Wu was dressed luxuriously, and saluted the couple, "I have Lao Ma and Her Royal Highness the Princess to take care of you." ”

Zhang Yang replied: "Xiao Wu is quite sensible, and he is also very quiet. ”

Li Yue held the account book in his hand and looked at the accounts, "The queen mother is also preparing to accept Xiao Wu as her goddaughter." ”

Speaking of this, seeing the hesitation and difficulty in Wu Shitong's expression, Li Yue said again: "It's just a nominal goddaughter, not a princess, and besides, she won't be allowed to marry far away." ”

The warrior asked in a low voice, "The old man knows that there has always been a matter of harmony, and I don't know if those envoys will also come to Princess Shang this time." ”

Li Yue glanced at Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang said with a smile: "As for the opening of the dynasty for a few days, there is no response to this matter, so there is no need to worry about it first." ”

Wu Shi Tong also said: "The king of Hejian County came two days ago, and brought a group of men over, and he has already sent out to escort cotton, and he will send men over in a few days, and he will also send a letter to General Niu Jinda." ”

Zhang Yang hesitated: "Will General Niu agree?" ”

Wu Shi Tong put down Xiao Wu, and she quickly ran to Li Yue's side, holding her arms and looking at the accounts together.

Seeing his daughter's appearance, Wu Shi Tong smiled and said, "I heard that for this reason, the king of Hejian County wants to exchange a few pieces of fertile fields from his own fiefdom with General Niu's family. ”

"He's really good at blood."

The process of accumulating money is a very torturous thing, and you don't know when your family money will be hollowed out.

The last snowstorm almost emptied the home, and therefore accumulated a good reputation for Lishan.

can use thousands of cotton clothes to create a good reputation for themselves.

This deal is definitely a good deal.

Zhang Yang looked at the inventory in the warehouse, and had already produced another thousand pieces of cotton cloth, and some had been sold.

Cotton is also being shipped back from outside the border, which is a good start, and the village's production is finally on track.

Recently, several adult men in the village have also married daughters-in-law, and Li Yue also asked Yu Yi to send them silver money.

These daughters-in-law are from other villages, and now the villagers of Lishan have a solid house to live in and a stable income, which is a very reliable guarantee for the woman who has married.

Li Yue came to the printing workshop, looked at Liang Zhu who had just been printed, Yu Yi stood beside her and whispered; "His Royal Highness King Wei cried for a long time after reading this story, saying how could there be such a tragic thing."

In the words of the husband, love comes from human feelings, and this feeling has always been oppressed by the etiquette.

Etiquette is the foundation of the family, and in those big families, this system is extremely strict.

If you want to break this etiquette system, you will draw salary at the bottom of the kettle and change people's views on love, and the husband will use stories to influence people, as long as people see this story, they will see and understand Liang Zhu, and naturally they will think of the Cui family's daughter.

As long as the whole process is good enough, it can also cause a certain effect, at least it can make the family sit still.

Li Yue said in a low voice: "Have you read this story?" ”

Yu Yi nodded and said, "I've seen it." ”

"What do you think?"

"I don't understand why Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai can give up so much for a relationship, if it were me, I wouldn't be able to do it."

Li Yue looked at his husband, who was talking to Wu Shi Tong about the principle of the drawing, put down the book that had been printed and replied: "You haven't experienced it yet, if you also meet someone you like, you will experience this feeling." ”

Yu Yi bowed slightly, "Got it." ”

After finishing the arrangements in the village, after fifteen years is the day when these cotton cloths are sold, according to the price, Li Yue set fifty yuan for a cotton cloth, and the cotton cloth is seven dollars a foot, and the whole price is very close to the price of mulberry linen cloth, but it is one penny more expensive than ordinary cloth.

With the production efficiency of Lishan, the cost can be much cheaper, half a ton of cotton is only 100 yuan, and half a ton of cotton can produce 20 pieces of cloth, Li Yue calculated a little, in addition to the labor cost, the benefit can be at least 600 yuan.

According to the efficiency of producing fifty pieces of cotton cloth per day, you can still make a lot of money.

For Li Yue, seeing more and more money in the family and more and more money in the accounts, this is happiness for her.

Recently, there was a strange thing in Chang'an City, and this strange thing was related to Xu Jingzong, who drunk himself every day and talked nonsense at home every day.

Zhang Daxiang looked at the decadent Xu Jingzong, "Brother Xu, why are you there?" ”

Xu Jingzong was stunned and shed two lines of tears, "The lower official is unhappy for Zhang Shilang!" Zhang Shilang is really miserable. ”

Zhang Daxiang was puzzled: "Zhang Yang eats and drinks so well, it is said that many people are ready to buy a large amount of cotton cloth from Lishan, and even the old father at home said that Zhang Yang will make a lot of money from it, how can it be miserable." ”

"Isn't it the saddest thing in the world that you can't display your talent? O malevolent Heavenly Khan! ”

"Don't talk about it, it will be a disaster to be heard."

Xu Jingzong shook his head and said: "Your Majesty accepts advice, Wei Zheng dares to point at His Majesty's nose and scold the faint monarch, he Wei Zheng can scold, others can't scold." ”

Suddenly heard the movement of the crockpot outside the wall overturning, scared Zhang Elephant a spirit, someone eavesdropped?

Zhang Daxiang quickly came to the courtyard wall, but there was no human figure in sight.

"Heavenly Khan is conceited and ignorant!" Xu Jingzong began to howl again.

Seeing his abnormal behavior, Zhang Daxiang stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Xu Shilang, what are your intentions?" ”

Xu Jingzong put away his previous crying face, with a gloomy expression, "Brother Elephant, Zhang Shilang doesn't come to the Ministry of Rites for a day, how can the Ministry of Rites gain a foothold." ”

Knowing that he had ulterior motives, Zhang Daxiang said anxiously: "This is an appointment from the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, is it useful for you to cry like this?" Don't cry. ”

】

Seeing that Xu Jingzong was still crying, Zhang Daxiang said again: "The envoy of Qiuzi wants to talk to our Ministry of Rites to prepare for the next time he enters the court to meet the Khan." ”

Xu Jingzong's crying stopped abruptly and quickly changed to a smile.

I was crying before, but now I am smiling so optimistically, and the speed of this person's mood switch is jaw-dropping.

Zhang Daxiang said again: "Don't cry anymore?" ”

Xu Jingzong wiped away his tears, "I'm tired." ”

"Tired of crying?"

"Brother Elephant, can you stop being verbose, let's go and pick up Zhang Shilang first, meet the envoy of Qiuzi together, and then talk about the next matters."

Confirming that Xu Jingzong finally returned to normal, Zhang Daxiang was also relieved, "I don't know if I cry so much for the New Year, I still think that there are dead people in the family." ”

"What is the difference between dying and dying if a person's talents are not being used?"

Li Shimin has been very anxious recently, he has been waiting to meet the real master of Gaochang, but when he asked people to bring words to Xu Jingzong, things were like a stone sinking into the sea without a reply.

"What is he doing these days?" Li Shimin asked with a tense face.

"Xu Shilang has been closed at home recently, but a few days ago he took Gaochang's envoy to see Zhang Yang, and now he took Qiuzi's envoy to see Zhang Yang again, and it is estimated that he will not leave the house for a few days after meeting."

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "He really asked Zhang Yang about the affairs of the Ministry of Rites." ”

Li Junxian replied: "Your Majesty, our people often hear some words outside Xu Jingzong's house, all of which are Xu Jingzong's demonic self-talk, saying that this life is over, and he still says ......."

Halfway through the words, Li Junxian's words choked up again.

Li Shimin said impatiently: "What else did he say?" ”

Li Junxian saluted and said: "Your Majesty, the last general will not dare to say it, it is all some rebellious words." ”

"Let you say it, I will not condemn you."

Li Junxian swallowed a mouthful of saliva, plucked up the courage to speak: "It is said that the Ministry of Rites was brought up by Zhang Shilang and the King of Hejian County to get to this day, and it is said that the vicious Tian Khan unloaded the mill and killed the donkey, and took away the credit of the courtiers, but deposed the courtiers and put them in the East Palace, so that the talents are nowhere to be used, and there are ......."

Li Shimin's face darkened, "Go on." ”

"Whoa." Li Junxian looked flustered and saluted and said: "I also said that the original Turkic thing was not to use power for personal gain, it was to control the grassland on which the Turks relied for survival by means of milk powder, which is the best policy. ”

Li Shimin poured a sip of tea, "That's all?" What is the public in Qianqiu? ”

"I didn't say it."

Seeing that Li Shimin stopped talking, Li Junxian asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, how to deal with Xu Jingzong." ”

"I want to kill him alive." Li Shimin said viciously, "Wei Zheng can scold me in the Taiji Palace, how can I kill him, he just said at home, I just killed him like this, how will the people of the world look at me in the future." ”

"Your Majesty is wise."

Li Shimin picked up the tea bowl and frowned and thought about it, the tea was put down by the tea bowl before it was poured into his mouth, "I heard that there is something called a thermos cup in Yue'er's house, which is particularly easy to use?" ”

Li Junxian replied: "That's true, it is said that Shangguan Yi has always carried it with him, and he has to take a sip every time he is halfway through his words. ”

"How's the night sky vision going?"

"The minister was derelict in his duties, before staring at the movement of saltpeter in Chang'an City, and did not find that anyone bought saltpeter in large quantities, it seems that the other party has been prepared, and also inquired about the people who hoarded saltpeter, the saltpeter in their homes is still there, and some people poured saltpeter in the wild, but no one picked it up even if it fell in the wild."

"In this way, the other party was ready a long time ago."

"That's true."

On the streets of Chang'an City at this moment, on a street corner in Dongshi, Zhang Yang and Cheng Chumo were watching a group of children fight.

Seeing the two children who were particularly ruthless, Zhang Yang asked, "Whose child is that?" ”

Cheng Chumo raised his eyes and replied, "That's Li Daoyan's younger brother." ”

"Brother?"

"Yes, my brother." Cheng Chumo added.

Zhang Yang looked at it with interest, "It looks no different from other people's children." ”

Cheng Chumo replied: "Since the death of General Li Shentong, the children of this family have often been bullied, and they have been fighting almost every day. ”

"What about Lee Daoyan? Does he not care about his brother? ”

"He is on duty outside the Suzaku Gate, how can he manage his younger brother, but these children are also generals, just by looking at the appearance of the fight, you know that he will also be a man when he grows up."
