Chapter 313: A Few More Years to Live

Zhang Yang glanced around, "Why did your envoy give me such a big gift." ”

Nali hid his face and wept bitterly, "Qiuzi has fallen into the hands of the Gaochang people, and such a sea of blood will be avenged by foreign ministers." ”

"You can still say that the blood sea is deep, your words in this level are really good."

"When the king of Qiuci came to explain to the foreign ministers, after the envoy returned to the Tang Dynasty, it would be the Xiangguo of Qiuci, and at that time, the foreign ministers would definitely be close to the Tang Dynasty, and they would not hesitate to do so."

"Idioms are said one after the other." Zhang Yang hesitated, "You keep saying that you are smearing the liver and brain of Datang, and when you were asked to return the four towns of Datang Anxi, you were secretive and refused to give an answer." ”

The Turtle Messenger knelt on the ground and said nothing.

Lu Dongzan watched coldly, and the fall of Qiuzi caught Tubo off guard, maybe now Songtsen Gampo is already thinking of countermeasures.

Zhang Yang was about to say something more, but saw Xu Jingzong tugging at the corner of his clothes.

"Zhang Shangshu, take a step to speak."

Following Xu Jingzong to the side, Zhang Yang waved his hands and whispered, "What's wrong?" ”

Xu Jingzong whispered: "The original Gaochang was in the hands of Zhang Shangshu, and it was Zhang Shangshu who ordered the attack on Gaochang, if this messenger knew that the culprit of everything was done by Zhang Shangshu, I am afraid that it will be difficult to clean up in the future?" ”

Zhang Yang hesitated: "Do you have any suggestions?" ”

Xu Jingzong looked left and right at the fundraising, and made a movement to wipe his neck.

"It's not good......"

"Right now, Qiuzi is dead, fortunately, Gaochang didn't kill indiscriminately, just captured Qiuzi's royal family, even if it is investigated, no one speaks for this messenger, we have a big deal except him."

Zhang Yang sighed: "In the future, when you meet an opponent, will you only kill the opponent?" ”

Xu Jingzong whispered: "Expedient." ”

patted him on the shoulder, and Zhang Yang said in a low voice: "You first appease him and take him to the post house." ”

"Whoa."

Xu Jingzong nodded, "Zhang Shangshu rest assured, no matter what happens, our Ministry of Rites will stand together." ”

"Okay, let's get things done first."

Xu Jingzong left with Nali.

Zhang Yang walked on Suzaku Street, and turned around to see Lu Dongzan still following him, "Brother Xiang, why are you still following me." ”

Lu Dongzan stopped and smiled: "If there is any criticism from the DPRK and China, I don't know how Zhang Shangshu should deal with himself." ”

After walking some way along Suzaku Street, Lu Dongzan returned to the post house, and he went into his room to write everything that had happened in the court and what had happened recently, and he wrapped the letter in sheepskin, and put it in a leather and handed it to his servants.

The servant took the letter and hurried out of the inn.

When Lu Dongzan came out again, he saw several officers and soldiers escorting the weeping Nali into the post house.

Throwing his hand to Xu Jingzong with a smile, Lu Dongzan said: "It seems that Xu Shilang is very conscientious about Zhang Shangshu's arrangement. ”

Xu Jingzong originally had no good feelings for Lu Dongzan, and when he wanted to recruit Zhang Yang on behalf of Tubo on Chinese New Year's Eve, the last trace of courtesy towards him was gone.

To poach Zhang Yang is to cut off his own future.

For this kind of person, Xu Jingzong wanted to scold him, and he never shared the sky.

Xu Jingzong looked at him and said in a low voice: "If you regard Zhang Shilang as an opponent, then you are also the opponent below." ”

Lu Dongzan still had a friendly smile, "In addition to Zhang Yang, you are also a good opponent." ”

"If Tubo and Datang want to fight on the battlefield in the future, I hope you can be as calm as you are now."

"There are not many people in this world who can make Zampu a thorn in the side, Zhang Yang is one, and you are also one."

"It's an honor to be here."

Zhang Yang returned home and sat on a recliner.

Li Yue stood behind the chair and pressed his shoulder, "There must be a lot of things for the husband to do in the court." ”

Zhang Yang enjoyed preaching: "That's not true, I left everything to my subordinates, in fact, I'm quite idle." ”

Seeing Aunt Wang walking into the courtyard with a roll of paper again, since she became the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, the smiles of the two aunts on weekdays have also increased a lot.

Li Yue said in a low voice: "We have saved a lot of paper at home, and I want to arrange our papermaking skills into the village." ”

Zhang Yang drank tea, "It's really time to expand the scale, as soon as the printing line of the factory is taken away, it will be a paper-swallowing monster." ”

The bear lay at Xiao Wu's feet, staring at a few ants and then slapping them to death with one palm.

When Xiao Wu finished the question and stood up, Xiao Xiong also sat up.

After tidying up the house, Aunt Yang put the paper on the cart, the paper was very high, and then tied it tightly with hemp rope, and the paper would not fall off after trying to test it.

Zhang Yang and Li Yue cleaned up their homes and put away the drawings one by one.

Li Yue looked at one of them with a strange expression, "Husband, what kind of drawing is this?" ”

Zhang Yang glanced at it and grinned: "This is the swimming pool." ”

"Swimming pool?"

Pointing to the drawings, Zhang Yang patiently explained: "You see this swimming pool is boxy, when the weather is hot, we can fill this pool with water, soak in the sun, or soak in the pool, what a comfortable thing." ”

Li Yue's brows tightened, "Is this pool built outside?" ”

"That's right."

"Want to take a shower outside?"

"That's right."

Li Yue's expression was solemn, "It's indecent to take such an open-air bath, when did the husband have such a weird fetish?" ”

Packing up the drawings one by one, Li Yue saw a very strange style again, "What is this?" ”

Zhang Yang glanced at it and explained: "This is an activity center for the elderly, and there are still many elderly people in our village, so we want to give them a place to have fun." ”

"What about this?"

"This is our elementary school."

I'm used to the husband likes to make some strange things.,I've been teaching Xiao Wu to do problems these days.,I couldn't understand these drawings before.,Now I don't know what my husband is drawing every night after I can understand it.。

Just like that pool, Li Yue subconsciously tightened his coat.

After packing up all the things that were brought to the village, let Xiao Wu lead the bear family out of the house.

This bear has been getting lazier and lazier recently, it can lie on its stomach and never sit, it sleeps when it eats, and eats when it sleeps, and now it is lying on the cart, and it refuses to come down no matter how Xiao Wu drags it.

It is also not a good thing for domestic bears to lose their wildness.

After leaving the village, Zhang Yang tied the cart to the back of the carriage, and then took his daughter-in-law to the carriage and headed towards the village.

The scenery of spring is pleasant just to look at, and the season when the grass grows and the warbler flies is a lot of horse manure on the official road, which is very bad scenery.

The horses were very busy, and Xiao Wu was in a good mood when she learned that she was going back to the village, and when she returned to the village, she saw her father.

Leaving from the official road and walking along the Weishui River, you can see that there are many people on the way to enjoy the scenery on the spring outing, and most of them are young people.

The owner of the fief was coming, and Shangguan Yi, who was the county magistrate, hurriedly came to greet him, and Wu Shitong, who was also a county lieutenant, also arrived at the entrance of the village early to greet him.

Looking at the spring scenery along the way, Zhang Yang lazily drove the carriage to the entrance of the village and stopped.

Li Yue stepped out of the carriage, turned around and walked to the cart behind him, picked up the bear and threw it in the direction of Lishan.

As soon as the little bear, who had been listless all day at home, saw Lishan, he ran happily into the mountain.

Xiao Wu looked at this scene and was a little worried, "Will it run away?" ”

Li Yue smiled: "Don't worry, it will be back in the evening." ”

Zhang Yang also said: "It's really impossible to go into the mountain to find it, the whole mountain belongs to our family." ”

In the past, most of these words were said in anticipation, but now they are really their own home.

Xiao Wu walked up to his father, and his aunt pushed a cart of paper to the factory.

The couple told Shangguan Yi about the current arrangements in the village along the way.

After receiving the stack of drawings handed over by Zhang Yang, Shangguan Yi looked embarrassed, and saluted first, "Zhang Shilang is now a mangzhong, we have 1,210 acres of land, and it will take some time to reclaim it all, I'm afraid there are not enough manpower to build these." ”

"Don't worry, I still have a general map here, you can adjust it according to the general map."

"Then the lower official will take it and take it first." Shangguan Yi left in a hurry with the drawings.

The couple walked around the village and patrolled along Lishan Mountain.

It is a very happy thing to walk on the land of his own family, and Li Yue is measuring with his feet step by step.

"Your father is really not kind, and there are still 2,000 acres of land that have not been given to us."

"How can you give 3,000 acres of land, I think there are still many things to prepare in the court, and besides, I am now the largest fief among the princesses of the Tang Dynasty, and there are already a lot of discussions in the clan, saying that my father is too spoiled."

Aunt Yang, who followed behind, said: "This is all won by the princess and the concubine herself, and it is different from those children of the clan who ask for fiefs. ”

Li Yue took her husband's hand and smiled happily.

Zhang Yang hesitated: "I always feel that your father wants to repay the other 2,000 mu, and if he wants to repay the debt, I will write a chapter to scold him every day, and scold him until he gives me these 2,000 mu." ”

Li Yue covered his smile and said, "Give Chaozhong a little time." ”

Zhang Yang's tone was firm, "I don't think there can be anything wrong with this kind of thing, every inch of land must be clear, just like the boundary of our Datang, any inch of land should be ours." ”

The husband has an inexplicable attachment to the land, and he also watches the 3,000 acres of land closely.

The foothills of Lishan are very long, and it is already afternoon to walk around Lishan for a small half circle.

Zhang Yang picked up a piece of wood and knocked on a stake, "Come back in a few days, start from here, since it is our family's land, we have to walk it again, and only after stepping on it with our feet can it be considered our family." ”

Back in the village, Zhang Yang confirmed the situation in the village, and the office in the castle began to be used, Wu Shi Tong and Shangguan Yi only used this place as a place to put case files, and they usually took everything to deal with home to do.

What simple people, they run everything in the village by themselves.

Zhang Yang sat in the account room, thinking.

Li Yue quietly checked the accounts.

Most of the people in the village are illiterate and not educated, and the problem of insufficient manpower in governance is highlighted.

Seeing Zhang Yang rummaging through the bookshelves and bookcases, Li Yue asked curiously, "What is the husband looking for?" ”

"I'm looking for information about the total volume in the village, for example, how many men there are, and how many boys and girls are in their infancy."

Hearing this, Li Yue took down a file from the top of the bookshelf, "It's all written on this." ”

Zhang Yang raised his head when he heard this, and looked at the bookshelf again.

Li Yue said with a smile: "The important case files are all placed on this, and the husband doesn't ask me, just look for it?" ”

Smiling awkwardly, listening to Li Yue's somewhat reproachful words, Zhang Yang took the file, "There are fifty-three men in the village, thirty-one children, forty old people, and thirty women and children......

While listening to her husband's reading, Li Yue explained: "There are also men in the village who have not married a daughter-in-law until now, but recently a few daughters-in-law have been added to the village and are waiting to have children, and this file was recorded at the beginning of last year." ”

In the past, Xiashan Village was very poor, and the men were all singles, and who was willing to marry their daughters in a poor village.

Now life is better, and there are people who are singles and finally marry their daughters-in-law.

Zhang Yang said in a low voice: "Shangguan Yi should have a new copy over there, and he will be more detailed there." ”

You must be clear about your own family property, and you must also know how many people you have in your fiefdom.

"The DPRK and China encourage the birth of children, how much money do you give for giving birth to a child?"

Li Yue stopped when he heard this, "It seems to be a half-hanging silver coin, depending on how the local county government does it, Lantian County also gives a half-hanging silver coin." ”

"Daughter-in-law."

"Hmm."

"Let's encourage having children, too."

Li Yue shyly covered his face with a scroll and chuckled: "Husband, don't you think I'm not in good health, wait until I grow up." ”

"I don't mean that, I mean to encourage children in our village, for example, we give money to whoever has a child! Let them contribute to our population. ”

Li Yue put down the scroll and nodded solemnly, "It's really time to add bricks and tiles." ”

Yu Yi couldn't help but smile and stood on the side, hearing Her Royal Highness bite the four words of bricks and tiles very hard.

With a huge land, you need a population.

Zhang Yang hung a map on the wall of the account room, which is now a map of the entire fiefdom, surrounding Lishan Mountain, a total of more than 1,000 acres of land.

With a huge amount of land, it is also a headache to not have enough people to develop its value.

The demographic dimension of development issues often appears to be important.

The population of Datang is very strictly controlled, and it cannot snatch the population from other counties, and the population of each place is fixed.

If you really snatch a few young strong laborers from somewhere else, the county will not be able to turn against you?

Young people are the most important productive force, whether it is growing food or having children.

Zhang Yang kicked on the wall one by one, and scolded in his mouth: "Go to your thirty-six roads against the king, the population of Lao Tzu has been beaten in the last few years of the Sui Dynasty, you will compensate me!" ”

Looking at her husband who was losing her temper, Li Yue shook her head helplessly.

It was already evening after the accounts were settled, and the couple stopped by to meet the teacher and his wife.

"The teacher's condition is not bad, it has not deteriorated as much as expected." Zhang Yang said with a smile.

"At the beginning of the year, someone from the old man's ancestral land wrote to ask."
