It wasn't until the fighting stopped and the group of children dispersed that Zhang Yang and Cheng Chumo stepped forward and looked at the children who were struggling to get up from the ground and were covered in bruises.

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Child, what's your name." ”

This kid looks the same age as Li Tai, and there is stubbornness in his eyes, "What's the matter with you??" ”

Cheng Chu looked at him with interest.

Zhang Yang said again: "You were beaten by such a person just now, and you didn't say a word, why didn't you ask for help." ”

"I can't beat others, but my own fists and feet are not as good as others."

Hearing him say this, Zhang Yang held his hands and asked again: "But they are all older than you." ”

"I can't beat them now, but I've learned how good their punches and kicks are, and when I'm two years older, I can beat them."

Listening to his words, there was still some unconvincing, Cheng Chumo handed over the gold sore medicine, "Paste this on your wound and it will heal faster, I am Cheng Chumo, you can inquire about the braised pork gang in Chang'an City, if you can't find a chance to get ahead, go find the people who sell braised pork on the street." ”

He took the gold sore medicine and unceremoniously pasted it on his wound, "My name is Li Xiaoyi." ”

Zhang Yang smiled and nodded, "I remember." ”

The kid was gone, and he looked back from time to time as he went.

Cheng Chumo said again: "Among Li Daoyan's younger brothers, there are also elders, Li Xiaotong and Li Xiaocha are both doing well, both are the sons of General Li Shentong, and among these children, Li Daoyan has the highest military merits. ”

Zhang Yang hesitated: "Since you are a child of the clan, you are bullied by people on the street like this?" ”

Cheng Chu sighed silently: "It's a pity that General Li Shentong passed away too early, but a certain family still appreciates Li Daoyan and takes care of it if he can." ”

"If someone is beaten, you won't help?"

Cheng Chumo walked as he walked, "They are all the children of military generals, everyone has a spirit in their hearts, the fists and feet between men are not allowed to be interfered with by others, if you go to help him, he will feel that you look down on him, this is the arrogance in the hearts of the children of military generals." ”

"What if someone kills you? For example, vendetta or something. ”

"Then ......" Cheng Chumo hesitated for a long time and slowly spoke: "I am talking about a fight between martial artists, and this vendetta is of course to help." ”

"If Brother Mo is beaten, will he let him help?"

"Hehehe......" Cheng Chumo smiled: "Looking at Chang'an, no one dares to do anything with me Cheng Chumo, and I don't take them seriously." ”

Zhang Yang arched his hand and said: "Recently, the king of Hejian County has been helping me deliver cotton, and I am worried that there will be insufficient manpower. ”

"We have enough men, how much do you need?"

"It doesn't take much, just a team of more than a dozen escorts at a time."

Cheng Chumo hesitated for a while, "It will be arranged." ”

"I'm in trouble."

"There is no need to talk about trouble between you and me."

"General Cheng Xiao, the people from the Ministry of Rites are looking for Zhang Shilang." A man dressed as a ranger came in a hurry.

Cheng Chu kicked the person silently, "How many times have you said it, call the big brother outside." ”

"It's big brother."

"Bring people."

"Whoa."

Now Cheng Chumo still doesn't have the aura to be a big brother, but is becoming more and more like a villain who fights for the tiger, this guy doesn't seem to have the talent to be a big brother in the rivers and lakes.

Xu Jingzong and Zhang Daxiang were walking towards here with the envoy of Qiuzi.

Since he is the largest investor in Cheng Chumo's entire gang, what should be said is still to be said, Zhang Yang said patiently: "Chumo, how many people can come to see you directly now?" ”

Cheng Chu pondered: "More than a dozen." ”

Zhang Yang smiled at Xu Jingzong with his hands in his hands, and said in a low voice: "Okay, you should continue to do your business and do the things I instructed." ”

Cheng Chumo nodded, "Don't worry, I'll do it well." ”

After reorganizing his expression, Zhang Yang arched his hand and said, "Xu Shilang, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Xu Jingzong saluted and said, "Young Master Zhang is polite. ”

After glancing around, Zhang Yang said again: "This is a downtown street, it's too noisy, it's better for us to talk in another place." ”

Xu Jingzong also nodded, "That's exactly what I mean." ”

A few people came to a wine shop in Chongren Fang, and there were no customers in the wine shop at the moment.

Chang'an City is very large, there are a total of 25 streets in the north and south, just the east and west two cities, it is said that there are one hundred and eight square cities, in fact, people who have lived in Chang'an City for a long time know that in fact, there are not many square markets that can really be lively.

Li Shimin still attaches great importance to public security, but he does not pay attention to the construction of Fang City, and many Fang City has not been repaired since Li Yuan took Chang'an City, and it is still dilapidated.

Chongrenfang is next door to Pingkangfang, and it is relatively close to Hongwen Hall, and there are more literati who come in and out here, and it also seems quiet.

A few people sat down, and Zhang Daxiang spoke first: "I don't know what the envoy of Qiuzi wants to say when he comes to see us this time, but the court has not yet opened, our Ministry of Rites can leave the words first, and after the court opens, we will show Your Majesty." ”

The Qiuzi envoy first glanced at Zhang Yang, and then said in a low voice: "Last year, Gaochang fought in the Western Regions one after another, causing many Western Turkic tribes to lose their land. ”

Seeing Xu Jingzong's envoy's eyes, Zhang Yang said: "I am a close minister of the prince, and I only inquire about the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, and I will not interfere in the affairs of the Ministry of Rites." ”

The Qiuzi envoy nodded and said, "I heard Tubo Lu Dongzan say that you are a talented person. ”

Zhang Yang waved his hand and said: "He is very worried about me, in fact, how can he say it." ”

The Qiuzi envoy looked at Xu Jingzong again, "We hope that Tian Khan can uphold justice, and for the stability of the Western Regions, I hope that Gaochang will not start another war." ”

Zhang Yang was puzzled: "I remember that Qiuzi used to be one of the four towns of Anxi back then. ”

The Turtle Messenger nodded.

Zhang Yang smiled again: "It's okay for us to come forward in Datang, but we have one request, that is, you Qiuzi, Yanqi, Khotan, and Shule will re-establish the four towns of Anxi for our Datang, and let our officials and soldiers and horses of Datang be stationed, which can solve the whole trouble." ”

Seeing that the other party was very hesitant, Zhang Yang said again: "Look at how simple it is, as long as you four towns in Anxi nod, our Datang will naturally help you settle this problem." ”

The envoy sighed, "This matter is very big, and I have to go back and talk to many messengers." ”

Xu Jingzong nodded and said, "You have asked us to know, and then we will show Your Majesty." ”

The Qiuzi envoy was about to leave after saluting again, and Zhang Yang asked, "How much do you know about Gaochang?" ”

The other party turned around and said: "We know that in fact, the master of Gaochang has another person, and after seeing Your Majesty, we will also show Your Majesty in the same way." ”

Watching the people walk away, Zhang Yang frowned and said, "Actually, the whole place of Qiuzi is also quite good. ”

Zhang Daxiang nodded with a serious face, "Since ancient times, all the Central Plains Dynasty has gone to take the four towns of Anxi. ”

Xu Jingzong ate mutton, "It is said that the four towns of Anxi can be taken directly from Persia?" ”

Zhang Daxiang said: "There is also Tianzhu, Qiuci is located in an important trade route in the Western Regions, but whenever there is a war in the Western Regions, Qiuci cannot be bypassed, whoever can take the four towns of Anxi can control the richest road in the Western Regions." ”

Zhang Yang pondered: "Do you think Songtsen Gampo is interested in taking the four towns of Anxi?" Why don't you kill the Turtle Messenger? ”

When the words fell, Xu Jingzong didn't swallow a sip of wine, choking in his throat and coughing constantly, "This matter is too big, it can't be done, not to mention whether Qiuzi will take advantage of this to raise troops, and even Tubo and the Western Turks will take advantage of this to make trouble." ”

】

Zhang Yang frowned and said, "I'm just talking casually, didn't you ask me to be your advisor to the Ministry of Rites?" Isn't it enough to give an opinion? ”

Xu Jingzong eased up, "Please also ask Zhang Shilang to think twice." ”

Zhang Yang stood up and walked out of the wine shop.

"Zhang Shilang, where are you going?"

"Go home." Zhang Yang replied lazily.

In a house in Chang'an City, Princess Changguang listened to Yang Shidao's narration, and her family also ran a cloth business, "Once the cotton cloth from Lishan comes out, our cloth business will definitely be affected." ”

Yang Shidao listened to Princess Changguang's narration, still looking at the book in his hand.

Seeing him like this, Princess Changguang sighed: "When my father married me to you, although you and I are also halfway husband and wife, you can't ignore the family business." ”

Yang Shidao said in a low voice: "I have long said that I want to sell the family business, and you have to keep it, and you don't have to ask the old man about the businessman." ”

Princess Changguang hated iron in the face of such a husband.

At that time, when his father promised himself to Yang Shidao, although he was the son of Yang Xiong of the former Sui, he was also the royal family of the former Sui, and he fled to Luoyang and was taken down by Wang Shichong.

At that time, Yang Shidao was still poor.

But at that time, she was also a widow and remarried, and she had to marry with a child, and she didn't want anything else.

has been married to him for so many years, and finally used it to continue to accumulate a family business, but Yang Shidao has always ignored it.

The courtyard was silent for a long time, and the little guy on the side said: "I heard that many people are talking about Lishan today because of the cotton cloth. ”

Princess Changguang lowered her face and instructed the little servant on the side: "Pass the word, whoever dares to criticize Lishan will pull out my tongue." ”

The little guy went down in a panic to do something.

-----------------

The easy days of the New Year passed quickly, the cotton cloth in Lishan began to be sold, and the three thousand pieces of cloth produced in a hurry were quickly sold out, Li Yue looked at the accounts happily, and Xiao Wu's mood also improved.

The factory in Lishan has been completed since last year, and now there is finally an entry, which makes the couple breathe a sigh of relief, and the stone in their hearts can be regarded as falling.

When the effort is rewarded, it is also very exciting.

Zhang Yang first bought a duck from Chang'an City, killed the duck on the spot, and the couple sat together plucking duck feathers

"How about making roast duck?"

"It's a duck that's too fat, it doesn't seem to fit." After Zhang Yanggang finished speaking, he saw Li Yue pursing his mouth with a little pity, and said: "Then make roast duck, you go and prepare some rice wine, put it on the stove and heat it, and the duck should be ready in about two hours." ”

"Okay."

Zhang Yang instructed again: "Remember the rice, and let my aunt call the king of Wei and the king of Hejian County." ”

Of course, the harvest day should be celebrated, which also shows that its own industry has officially transformed from bulk food to a real industry.

In the past, whether it was braised pork or a flush toilet, this was a short-term benefit, and these transactions were too fragmented to last long.

Now that we have a profitable factory, we have jobs that the whole village can rely on.

Whether it is for the cohesion of the whole village or the future development, this is a rare good thing.

Now it's different, having a factory is like having a foundation, and there is also a scale of the enterprise.

The process of transformation was painful, and Lishan did not receive any money for a long time.

The most painful is Li Tai, who is almost bankrupt.

When it was dark at night, I opened the lid of the earthen stove and the duck that was roasting was ready.

Use an iron fiber to lift the duck up and put it in a large basin.

Xiao Wu helped to move the chair, her little short legs were very difficult to move the chair, and she pushed the table hard to put the two tables together, so that a few more people could eat.

Zhang Yang cut the roast duck and changed the knife, and Li Tai and Li Xiaogong also came together.

"Hahaha! The old man walked to the door and smelled the wine. Li Xiaogong smelled the aroma of wine and came to the small stove, opened the wine jug and sniffed it carefully, "Good wine." ”

Zhang Yang explained: "It's all home-brewed, and I don't know if it's appetizing. ”

Seeing that Li Xiaogong was carrying a package in his hand, when he opened it, he saw that it was a large lump of beef and pepper, and some fine salt.

"Everything is ready at home, what are you doing with so much beef?" Zhang Yang said that he naturally accepted this big lump of beef.

Li Xiaogong said with a smile: "I know that you husband and wife are living in poverty, and finally there is a cow that can't plow the land, so I killed it, and the lady of the family ordered that I would send it to your family if I said anything." ”

Zhang Yang grinned, "I'll make some sauce beef, and I'll send it to you when it's ready, and I'll take two sips when I drink in the future, it tastes very beautiful." ”

Li Xiaogong stroked his beard and nodded, smiling all over his face, "I know that you kid is sensible." ”

Li Tai's spirit is also much fuller, the factory has made a profit, which is also a great thing for him, from last year to now, if there is no entry, Li Tai's life will not be able to go on.

Several people sat around the table, and Zhang Yang poured drinks for Li Xiaogong and Li Tai.

"Why is it so little!"

Seeing that Li Tai was not convinced, Zhang Yang snorted coldly: "My family's rules, what are you doing with so much alcohol as a child?" It's good to wait for rice and rice, and when you drink it, you can eat honestly. ”

Li Tai picked up the wine bowl and took a sip, "I don't care about you if I'm in a good mood today." ”

The skin of the roast duck is grilled crispy, and the salty soup is just right.

One bite of the skin, the meat into the mouth of the tender duck meat, eat a mouthful of fat.

Eating the duck, several people didn't speak, until a whole big fat sheep and duck were left, only the skeleton remained, and everyone held on to the stomach and let out a sigh.

Xiao Wu was very sensible and poured a few bowls of tea.

Zhang Yang brought the tea bowl to Li Tai and Li Xiaogong, "The duck is fatter, it tastes a little greasy, and it can be relieved by drinking tea, and handed him a toothpick, which I made myself with bamboo, which is best for removing meat, mainly for hygiene." ”

Li Xiaogong used a toothpick to pick the meat stuck between his teeth, "It's really a lot more elegant, more convenient than nails." ”
