Chapter 306: Broken Mouth, Chief Xu

"Take a can with you when you like to go."

Li Xiaogong waved his hand and said, "How can the elders just take the things of the younger generation." ”

Zhang Yang said embarrassedly: "There is still a can at home." ”

Li Xiaogong noticed the iron fiber on the side, "That iron fiber is very good for forking meat." ”

"You can take it with you if you like."

Li Yue's smile was a little reluctant.

After dinner, Zhang Yang told the two shareholders of Lishan about their future plans, and with these two backers, whoever wants to move Lishan's business must also weigh the weight of these two.

Xiao Wu carried a broom to clean the yard.

Li Xiaogong said in a low voice: "As soon as the cotton cloth from Lishan came out, there was a lot of criticism in Chang'an City. ”

Li Yue sat upright and frowned: "We husband and wife rarely go out, now what's the criticism outside?" ”

Li Tai whispered, "It's just that the mulberry linen cloth in the hands of the original vendor can't be sold, so I came to blame Lishan's cotton cloth." ”

Noticing that Li Yue's eyes were still worried, since the last Lishan snow disaster had a good reputation, she is now very concerned about such things as word of mouth.

Zhang Yang asked again: "They have hoarded a lot of mulberry linen in their hands." ”

Li Xiaogong nodded, "Naturally, otherwise there would not be so many people in such a hurry, but you can rest assured that the old man will help you watch, who dares to make a mistake can't spare him, Lishan didn't steal or rob, it's all cotton cloth produced by himself, so they can't talk nonsense." ”

Li Yue hesitated: "With such a population in Chang'an City, in terms of Lishan's production efficiency, it should not be able to meet such a large demand. ”

Li Xiaogong nodded and said: "That's true, the cotton cloth in Lishan can't reach everyone's hands, and everyone says that our cotton cloth is too cheap, and they are worried that the linen and fine linen cloth will not be sold in the future." ”

Li Tai was unconvinced: "Survival of the fittest is inevitable. ”

Xiao Wu put down the broom, and obediently walked over to lift the kettle and pour tea for a few people.

Seeing his daughter-in-law's frowns, Zhang Yang smiled: "Actually, it's not impossible, it's just that we feel that our cotton cloth has robbed their market, and we originally intended to transform into a supplier." ”

"As the upstream of the market, we can sell the cloth to them and let them continue to sell it, and as for the previous mulberry linen, we can take it back on our behalf, or we can use the original old linen cloth to offset the new cotton cloth."

Li Xiaogong nodded, "Take the trouble as an opportunity for us to expand our cotton cloth business, as long as Chang'an City sells our cotton cloth, we will only make more and more money in the future." ”

After discussing this matter, Zhang Yang sent Li Tai and Li Xiaogong away.

Back home, Li Yue was already packing up her clothes, a red official uniform was placed in the basin, and she scrubbed it carefully, "The court will open in a few days, and the husband will go to the East Palace on duty, but he must wash the official uniform." ”

According to the current Tang Dynasty official system, he, the young master of the East Palace, belongs to the fourth rank of the official, and he has to wear this red round-necked official robe.

Zhang Yang sat down beside her and quietly looked at the starry sky.

While washing clothes, Li Yue's hands were red from the cold, and she said: "If we have enough cloth merchants in Chang'an City, can we also control the price of cloth in Chang'an City?" ”

Zhang Yang nodded, "Theoretically, this matter is simple, but in fact, it is also difficult to do, people who can do big business in Chang'an City, who has no support from powerful people behind them." ”

Li Yue put down the clothes in his hand and thought about it, "So we need to find out the details before we want to hold more cloth merchants, who is the backer of whom, and we can't act recklessly, so as not to suffer unnecessary trouble." ”

"The daughter-in-law is thoughtful, so that we can avoid a lot of trouble."

Li Yue whispered: "On the day of the opening of the dynasty, I will go to the queen mother and tell the queen mother about this matter first, whether the queen mother will help or not will say another first, at least let the queen mother know our current situation, and the imperial grandfather will also visit, his old man's words in the clan are very important." ”

Seeing that her husband had been looking at her, Li Yue lowered her head, "What is my husband looking at me like this?" ”

Zhang Yang retracted his eyes and put his arm around her shoulder, "You are getting more and more presentable now." ”

Li Yue leaned on her husband's shoulder and smiled happily, "People will grow up." ”

"I mean, you're getting better and better at business."

"Did my husband tease me and say that I didn't look like a woman?"

Zhang Yang cleared his throat, "I don't mean this, you know me, I have always scoffed at those worldly opinions outside, why can't women have careers." ”

Li Yue is seventeen years old, there is more heroism between her eyebrows, her heart is actually very strong, and she has a kind of unconvincing engraved in her bones about many things.

Influenced by the queen, her words and deeds in the village have the appearance of a local owner, and she also has the momentum that the master should have.

"You are getting more and more of a landlord's wife."

"Landlord's wife?" Li Yue listened and said suspiciously: "This doesn't seem to be a good thing. ”

"The entire fiefdom is yours, you are the master, you should have such an aura, there is nothing bad about it."

Xiao Wu came with a booklet, "Teacher's question is done." ”

Li Yue looked at the question and looked at it carefully, "Look at this question, you don't write the calculation process again, this is not a good habit." ”

Xiao Wu nodded.

Listening to his daughter-in-law giving Xiao Wu a lecture, Zhang Yang took the basin at her feet and carried it aside to wash his official uniform.

The official uniform of the court was made of fine linen, and it did not feel good to wear.

After two days of peace, the cotton cloth in Lishan was once out of stock.

Today is the day of the opening of the dynasty, and it stands to reason that Li Tai will also be present on such an important day, he found an excuse to be sick and sent to the palace, and he came directly to Lishan to help produce cotton cloth and soap.

In a few days, Liang wishes that the book will be sold.

This time, instead of just half a volume, the entire book was sold together.

Li Tai looked at Shangguan Yi puzzled, and saw that he was still looking at Liang Zhu, "You have read this story several times, don't you feel tired?" ”

Shangguan Yi explained: "Does His Royal Highness the King of Wei understand the deep meaning of this story? ”

Li Tai washed off the pulp stuck to his hands, "Isn't it just about two people who love each other, and the bleak end of the world and power?" ”

Shangguan Yi explained: "In fact, His Royal Highness the King of Wei has to think about it in a different way, Zhang Shilang's stories are always written as ordinary people, and this kind of book is also for ordinary people. ”

Li Tai said impatiently: "Shangguan Yi, the way you speak is becoming more and more like Zhang Yang." ”

Today is the day of the opening of the dynasty, Zhang Yang first sent his daughter-in-law and Xiao Wu to the Lizheng Palace, and hurriedly followed the prince to attend the court meeting.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, I'm just a small official of the East Palace, so I don't need to participate in the big court meeting."

Li Chengqian's footsteps were very fast, "Whether it is a small official of the Yellow Gate in the court, they all have to participate in this big court meeting, if the Taiji Hall can't stand, they must stand outside the Taiji Palace, as it was in previous years, once a year." ”

Helplessly following Li Chengqian's footsteps, when the two arrived in front of the Taiji Palace, there were already many people standing here.

Li Chengqian, "You are standing in front of Da'an, and you will enter the palace alone." ”

The officials of the East Palace can only stand outside the Taiji Palace, and they are not qualified to stand in the hall, Zhang Yang is helpless, thinking that I also slept in the Taiji Hall back then.

Standing in front of Zhang Da'an, Zhang Yang saw a guy standing behind him smiling at him.

Daan introduced: "This is Xu Xiaode, the chief official who has just arrived in the East Palace. ”

Zhang Yang arched his hand and said, "I've seen Chief Xu." ”

The Heavenly Khan had not yet come, except for the scribes of the various ministries standing outside the palace and the envoys of various countries.

There was still some distance from Lu Dongzan, and you could feel the hostility in his eyes.

Zhang Yang glared back at him, if the eyes could kill people, he would have died hundreds of times under this look.

was stared at like this, and Lu Dongzan also withdrew his gaze.

Zhang Da'an followed his gaze and looked at it, and happened to see Lu Dongzan retracting his gaze with some embarrassment, "Young Master Zhang has a grudge against this messenger?" ”

Zhang Yang stood in his position and said: "This is his unilateral grudge, my heart is bright, and I am upright, how can I have a grudge against this kind of person." ”

"I think so." Zhang Da'an nodded.

The emperor didn't come, and everyone can chat while they are waiting at the moment.

"I've heard that Young Master Zhang is famous for a long time, but when I saw it today, I realized that he was so young."

Zhang Yang said helplessly: "In your words, you are not young in your early twenties. ”

Xu Xiaode whispered again: "I just saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally sending Young Master Zhang to come with me, I think that the relationship between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Young Master Zhang must be very good, and I will take care of Young Master Zhang in the East Palace in the future." ”

Zhang Yang smiled bitterly: "I can't say anything, it's good that everyone can unite in the future." ”

A Zhao Jie said that he wanted to take care of him, and he was a family with Yang Shidao.

Now there is also a Xu chief.

"I heard that Young Master Zhang and Her Royal Highness the princess are very good at mathematics, and even Li Chunfeng Dao Chang said that he is a genius, and his future achievements will not be under Li Chun Feng Dao Chang."

Zhang Yang looked at the Taiji Hall with his hands in his hands, "You still inquired very carefully." ”

"When you first arrive, you naturally have to understand it, and every time you go to a place, you have to understand it well, but there are too many things in Chang'an City, and there are too many things to understand, and I heard that Young Master Zhang wrote a book about the Red Mansion, but it was listed as a banned book?"

Zhang Yang nodded.

"Xia Guan asked a bookseller to buy two volumes and took them home to read, it is indeed a good story, there is no judgment on etiquette in the story, how can every character in the story not be the biggest judgment of etiquette?"

The black line on Zhang Yang's end, this person's words were broken and dense.

Xu Xiaode said again: "I heard that there is a kind of milk tea in Chang'an City, and it is still very good that Xiaguan has tasted it." ”

Zhang Da'an's face was expressionless.

Zhang Yang sighed slightly.

"Xiaguan also heard about the matter of Lishan, and even heard that the low price of cotton cloth in Lishan made it difficult for many cloth merchants in Chang'an City to do business, because of this matter, Xiaguan also wrote a piece of music and submitted it to His Majesty to impeach Young Master Zhang."

Hearing this, Zhang Yang looked back in surprise, why did this person do this......

You said that you just came to the East Palace to take up your post, and you impeached me before you entered the door of the East Palace?

Are you still a colleague?

Xu Xiaode said again: "I want to come to this kind of businessman, but I can't let Your Majesty worry about it, at most, I just send a few Huangmen officials to Chang'an City to appease the merchants, and then warn Lishan, I don't think it's a big deal." ”

Zhang Yang: "......"

"In fact, Xiaguan impeached Young Master Zhang, but also hoped that Chang'an City could be more prosperous under the rule of many civil and military generals, cotton cloth is indeed good, the price is low, ordinary people can afford it, and Xiaguan also wants to buy some to take home, but every time it is sold out......"

The man started again, and Zhang Yang looked numbly ahead.

It wasn't until the court meeting began that Xu Xiaode stopped his thoughts.

Standing in the sunlight, you can't see the situation in the hall, and the inside of the Taiji Hall looks dim.

I don't know how it went inside.

Standing for half an hour, today's sun is still a little hot, Zhang Yang wiped his sweat, and said in his heart how long will this court meeting end.

The sun was getting more and more, and the scribe in front of him didn't know which of the six was it, and his sweat was already soaking the placket of his clothes behind him.

It's a good thing that the weather is warm, but it's only 15 years after the New Year, and the sun is a little hot in January.

After a while, a eunuch walked outside the hall and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty summoned, the envoy of Qiuzi, and the envoy of Gaochang enter the palace." ”

Hearing the words, two people immediately walked out of the messenger procession.

Zhang Yang lifted his spirits, continued to stand, and looked back at Da'an, he was standing very firmly.

Half an hour later, another eunuch came out, "Your Majesty summoned, the young master of the East Palace, Zhang Yang entered the palace." ”

Hearing the words, Zhang Yang walked out of the team, walked in front of the officials, and walked all the way to the front of the hall.

"Young Master Zhang is also invited to enter the hall." The eunuch on the side whispered.

First looked up at the situation in the hall, Xu Jingzong was standing in front of the ministers, and the envoy of Qiuzi and Gaochang were also standing aside.

I couldn't see Li Shimin's expression in the hall from outside the hall, so he still took a deep breath and walked into the hall.

Xu Jingzong's eyes seemed to see a savior, "When I gave King Gaochang a strategy, Young Master Zhang was also present. ”

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "Envoy of Qiuzi, you speak first. ”

"Whoa." The envoy of Qiuzi, Nali, spoke: "Gaochang's conquest of the Western Turks last year caused chaos among the Western Turks, and many people from the Western Regions who did business with Gaochang have also had contact with Gaochang today, and they all say that the master of Gaochang is not the slave trader of the garrison general Adalan, but another master. ”

Li Shimin looked at Gao Chang's envoy, "Is that so?" I also want to know who Gaochang's master is. ”

No. 1 kept his head down, and he slowly spoke: "The subordinates don't know. ”

Nari glanced at him, "Be a slave!" It's not even clear who your own master is? ”

No. 1 still lowered his head and said, "The subordinate is no longer a slave, but a general of Gaochang." ”

"If you are a slave, you are a slave, even if you are leading the army now, it is also a slave with soldiers and horses, and you still do what your master tells you to do."

No. 1 calmly replied: "The subordinate already has a family, a wife, and a child has been born, not a slave. ”

The smell of gunpowder in the Taiji Hall is very strong, and in the eyes of everyone, the entire Gaochang envoy is surprisingly calm, and it is said that the people who have been slaves have been very unbearable in the past.

This Guizi envoy Nali forced each other again and again to reveal the other party's scars, but this Gaochang envoy was still indifferent, and anyone in the court might have already done it at this time.
