Chapter 325: The First Revelation of the Foreign Affairs Yuan

Looking at Zhang Yang again, seeing the displeasure on this kid's face, Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "I hope that in addition to developing your family business, you can also do some things for Jiangshan Sheji." ”

Zhang Yang smiled: "Haven't I always worked hard for Sheji? ”

"I want you to do it with all your heart."

Zhang Yang stood up and saluted: "What Your Majesty said is that the minister will definitely be wholeheartedly. ”

After saying this, Li Shimin left.

Li Lizhi was a little reluctant, "I don't want to go back to the palace, as soon as I return to the palace, my father wants me to marry." ”

Li Yue comforted in a low voice: "You are the disciple of the imperial sister, the father and the queen mother want you to marry, and you have to go through the nod of the imperial sister, if the imperial sister does not agree, then you can't marry." ”

Li Lizhi said in a low voice: "Then if it really comes to that time, my father will force me to ......"

"Don't worry." Li Yue squatted down and looked at her still baby fat face, "If it really comes to that time, let the imperial sister's husband make the palace restless, see if they dare or not." ”

Li Chengqian listened to these words from the side, and looked sideways at Zhang Yang, who was looking at the book.

Zhang Yang also looked at Li Chengqian and smiled politely.

"It won't really make the palace chickens uneasy then." Li Chengqian asked in a low voice.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said with a smile, where did I get the ability to make the palace chickens and dogs restless."

Looking at Zhang Yang's harmless smile, Li Chengqian nodded and said, "If you want to say that, you can rest assured." ”

Zhang Yang still smiled, "Besides, I'm not that kind of person." ”

Finally, under Li Yue's comfort, Li Lizhi reluctantly followed back to the palace.

When everyone left, Li Yue brought a basin of water, sat down and washed the dishes.

Xiao Wu also sat on the side, and quickly dried the dishes that the teacher had cleaned, and the big and the small cooperated very tacitly.

After cleaning up the house, Li Yue wrote another notice, "What does the husband think?" ”

Zhang Yang looked at the content of the notice, "I think we can add one more, but all merchants who buy goods from our Lishan must ensure that the money and goods are cleared, once it is found that there are adulterated fakes sold outside, they will join my Lishan blacklist, and they will no longer be able to purchase goods from Lishan in the future." ”

Li Yue nodded, "Then I'll change it." ”

After revising it, Li Yue checked it again, confirmed that there was no problem, and handed it to Aunt Yang, "Trouble Aunt to post the notice outside Lishan Village." ”

Aunt Yang nodded, "Huh." ”

Sitting back down, Li Yue opened the account and looked at the current inventory, after this month of storage of cotton cloth in Lishan, there were still 5,000 horses in stock.

As long as these inventories are released, Lishan will be able to have a lot of silver money in the accounts, according to the cotton cloth of 50 yuan per horse, in addition to the taxes to the court, there will also be more than 200 yuan of silver in the account, leaving aside the cost of labor and cotton, and the profit will be at least 100 yuan.

If you have so much money coming in every month, you can make even your payments.

Li Yue carefully calculated, "If we increase production, we will have a lot of copper coins." ”

Zhang Yang nodded, "The more copper coins we have, the greater the right to speak, and the DPRK and China will not dare to exploit us at will, they will be jealous, once we throw out a large number of copper coins, the DPRK may not have enough silver cakes to pay." ”

Li Shimin obviously does not attach so much importance to economic construction, but in fact, the economy is also a very powerful weapon, and in this era of valuing agriculture and mulberry, they have not yet experienced the tremendous harm caused by the run.

The sky is very clear, there are many merchants in front of Lishan Village, they are all here to enter the cloth, Chang'an City can't think about it, and you can make a lot of money by selling it elsewhere.

Shangguan Yi is organizing the manpower arrangement, and Wu Shi Tong is also organizing everyone to line up to pay the money.

The grand occasion of Lishan attracted the attention of many people, and Xu Xiaode liked to walk around Chang'an City in his spare time, and walked along the Weishui River to Lishan.

Hundreds of merchants in Chang'an City are waiting for Lishan to deliver goods, listening to everyone's discussions, Xu Changyan looked at the delivery notice, bad reputation merchants do not cooperate, merchants outside the customs do not cooperate, and merchants who have dealings with the powerful do not cooperate......

Just looking at the more than a dozen listed, it makes people feel that their eyes are black, and the conditions for merchants to cooperate with Lishan are really strict.

"Who are you?"

I don't know where the bear child suddenly ran out and asked.

Xu Xiaode ignored him, but continued to look at the regulations above.

The bear child ran away, and then a group of bear children came running.

Seeing that they were all holding sticks in their hands, Xu Xiaode took a step back and said in surprise: "The villagers of Lishan are so rude, this is going to beat people, and the old man will go to the court to impeach you." ”

"Who wants to be impeached?"

A lazy voice came out again, Xu Xiaode heard the sound and looked like a very richly dressed young man, and after taking a closer look to confirm the visitor, he hurriedly saluted, "I have seen His Royal Highness the King of Wei." ”

Li Tai was sleepy-eyed, "You are the chief official next to the prince." ”

Xu Xiaode nodded again and again.

Li Tai said again: "What did you just say you want to impeach?" ”

In the face of Li Tai, Xu Xiaode was somewhat weak-hearted, no matter how much the other party said that he was also a prince, "The minister said that the villagers of Lishan should not be so rude." ”

Li Tai laughed angrily, "They're just a bunch of kids. ”

"Can a child do anything wrong?"

Xu Xiaode plucked up the courage to question again.

Having seen the darkness of the adult world and the calculations of his father, Li Tai has already seen it at this moment, and he is not interested in Xu Xiaode's warning.

He threw away the stick in his hand and whispered: "Before you impeach, this king advises you, no matter how you impeach Lishan, your father will not have any response, if you are unwilling, you will inevitably suffer from it, all you say, if you don't leave, don't blame this king." ”

Leaving Lishan in a panic, Xu Xiaode returned all the way back to Chang'an City, and when he arrived at his residence, he still wrote an impeachment chapter after several hesitations.

This recital was quickly sent to the Menxia Province, and the Menxia Provincial Cantata was sorted out and sent to the Zhongshu Province.

After another two days, he was in front of Li Shimin.

Lishan and Chang'an City have always been non-offensive to each other, and Li Shimin, who impeached Lishan, just glanced at it and put it aside without replying.

Xu Xiaode was sitting in the East Palace, and the prince was making annotations to the Han book.

It is said that three days have passed since the submission of the recital, and His Majesty should have seen the recital, but there has been no reply.

Lishan is still the same as in the past, the guards are extremely strict, and ordinary people can't enter it at all.

Li Chengqian noticed Xu Xiaode's expression and asked, "Do you have anything on your mind?" ”

Xu Xiaode hurriedly replied: "The minister just thinks that His Majesty hasn't seen the submitted chapter yet." ”

Li Chengqian was still staring, "Do you mean the impeachment of Lishan?" ”

Xu Xiaode nodded, "Exactly." ”

Li Chengqian said in a low voice: "My father has to approve a lot of recitals every day, maybe he did miss it. ”

"I think so."

After sitting in the East Palace for a while, Xu Xiaode walked to the Chongwen Pavilion, Yan Shigu happened to be not here, and Zhang Da'an was sorting out the books here.

"Da'an, the old man has something to ask you."

Sunlight poured in from the windows of the Chongwen Pavilion, and the clean floor and neat bookshelves made it a little more peaceful here, no longer as cold as before.

"Chief Xu has something to say."

Xu Xiaode opened his mouth and asked, "The old man heard that your father Zou Guogong is Zhang Yang's teacher?" ”

Zhang Da'an nodded, "It's my father's disciple, and it's my brother." ”

"I think you can also go to Lishan."

"Well, you can indeed enter Lishan." Zhang Da'an explained: "I used to go to Lishan often, but recently I have been going to Lishan less. ”

"The old man just stood outside Lishan for a long time before he was beaten out by a group of children."

Zhang Daan frowned and said: "There are factories in Lishan, and many of them are unique, and they are the princess's fiefdoms, so it is natural that there will be precautions." ”

"The old man is a righteous man and a gentleman, how can he plot against their family property."

Glancing at Xu Xiaode, Zhang Da'an said again: "Today, the royal family of Qiuzi will be escorted to Chang'an City, if Chief Xu is free, it is better to go with me and the prince to have a look." ”

Xu Xiaode kept a straight face, but he still didn't give up on the matter of Lishan.

Seeing that he didn't reply, Zhang Da'an walked outside the Chongwen Pavilion, and the prince also happened to come out of the East Palace.

Zhang Da'an said again: "It should be Chang'an City at this moment." ”

Li Chengqian quickened his pace, "Let's go and have a look." ”

The two of them left the palace, walked all the way out of the Suzaku Gate, passed by the Hongwen Hall and the Guozijian, and then walked through the Pingkangfang, and the Foreign Affairs Institute was in front of them.

The house purchased by the Foreign Affairs Yuan is very large, and it is on the main street of the east gate of Chang'an City, and this location alone shows that Zhang Yang spent a lot of money for it.

In order to build the Ministry of Rites, a diplomatic institute was also purchased, which shows that Zhang Yang attaches great importance to this.

Zhang Da'an looked at the post house across the street, "His Royal Highness the Prince, we might as well go to the post house, there are too many people standing here." ”

"It's fine."

Li Chengqian followed Zhang Da'an into the post house.

The words and deeds of the prince and Zhang Da'an, the eldest grandson Chong has been standing not far away and watching, since Zhang Yang became the young master of the East Palace, the prince has begun to alienate himself.

The eldest grandson Chong was upset in his heart, and saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Zhang Da'an walking so close, isn't this Da'an a fool?

As soon as the royal family of Qiuzi entered the city gate, it attracted a lot of discussion.

The eldest grandson Chong sank his heart and walked into the post house.

After inquiring with the little guy here, I learned that the prince and Da'an were on the second floor, so I also walked up.

There is a room on the second floor that overlooks the scene in front of the Foreign Affairs Academy.

"His Royal Highness the Prince." The eldest grandson opened his mouth and saluted.

Li Chengqian glanced back, "I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Eldest Sun Chong looked at Zhang Da'an on the side again, and he stepped forward and said, "Right now, the Qiuzi envoy has just entered the city gate, and he is about to arrive. ”

Li Chengqian looked down at the Foreign Affairs Academy, and at this moment, many people walked out of the Foreign Affairs Academy, and saw Xu Jingzong, Zhang Daxiang and Zhang Dasu.

"Da'an, these two brothers of yours are quite majestic now."

Da'an replied: "Externally, the attitude of the Tang Dynasty written by the officials of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Rites opened the Foreign Affairs Institute is also to be able to use manpower flexibly, in addition to the officials who are registered in the Eucalyptus, the Foreign Affairs Institute can also recruit people from outside by itself, and a few days ago I heard from my brother that the Foreign Affairs Institute has recruited an additional twenty people. ”

In addition to the official officials of the Ministry of Rites, there were also many literati wearing Confucian shirts.

Looking at the team, there were nearly fifty people.

They stood neatly in front of the Foreign Affairs Courtyard, watching the arrival of the escort of the royal family of Qiuzi.

Li Chengqian's heart was full of curiosity, "This is the first time that the Foreign Affairs Yuan has shown his skills to the outside world, Zhang Yang really has a big plan in his heart, and if he opens up such a mansion, the diplomatic affairs of the Tang Dynasty will be the same as the law in the future, and become the top priority." ”

The eldest grandson Chong whispered: "If you are so extravagant, if you can't do anything, you will be laughed at, and the people in the Hongwen Pavilion have discussed it, saying that the staff of the Foreign Affairs Institute also has three sects and nine ranks." ”

Zhang Da'an said: "There are indeed people of three religions and nine streams, including many pawn peddlers, businessmen who do business with outsiders, and porters who travel between Chang'an City and various places. ”

Li Chengqian's eyes were fixed on a prisoner car, and amid the discussion on both sides of the street, he was almost in front of the Foreign Affairs Yuan.

The eldest grandson Chong said, "The people who can be appointed by the Foreign Affairs Academy should also be knowledgeable and insightful, not these people. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Da'an arched his hand and said: "I think that the eldest grandson's words are inappropriate." ”

This Zhang Daan's demeanor has not changed from before, but his speech is much smoother, and he does not stumble like before.

was denied by the fool in front of him, the annoyance in Changsun Chong's heart became heavier, and he said loudly: "If these rabble can also do things for the society, then what's the use of the officials in the court?" ”

"The eldest grandson is a little paranoid when he says this."

Zhang Da'an looked out the window and explained: "For example, businessmen who have business dealings with outside the Guan, they can tell from the climate this year whether the Turkic horses are strong or not, and how much silver they should need to buy, this is their skill, they know more about the temperament and customs of the Turkic people, and many people in the court are inferior to them in this alone." ”

"Although it is only a matter of experience, it can also make arrangements in advance for the various measures of the Foreign Affairs Yuan, and in addition, those porters from all over the world, they have been to many places and seen the real situation in many places, and their knowledge and experience are valuable."

"The man has arrived."

Li Chengqian interrupted the conversation between the two.

It was only when the prisoner carts arrived that Zhang Yang hurried from the other side of the street.

Xu Jingzong, Zhang Daxiang, and Zhang Dasu watched Zhang Yang run all the way, and they were all speechless before they wore official uniforms.

Zhang Yang ran to the front with a vegetable basket in one hand, "It's delayed, it's delayed." ”

Xu Jingzong shook his head helplessly, "I thought Zhang Shangshu wouldn't come." ”

Zhang Yang wiped his hands, "Today's fish is very good, I bought a few more good fish, and you can all bring one back when it's over." ”

Zhang Daxiang looked at the basket and sure enough, there were a few live fish and didn't know how to reply for a while, is this the leader of the Ministry of Rites? Is this the future you Xu Jingzong said......

Looking at the front of him again, the prisoner car stopped in front of the Foreign Affairs Academy.

Xu Jingzong was about to speak, when he heard the people from the Western Regions in the prisoner car speak first, and he spoke loudly in the Western Regions for a while.

Zhang Yang handed the vegetable basket to the scribe on the side, "Help me get it, this fish is very fresh and careful that it pops out." “

Zhang Daxiang held his forehead in pain.
