Chapter 342: Reporting from the Border Pass

Li Yue had already packed up and waited outside the door. Diaphragm

"Sister Huang!" Li Lizhen was the first to run up.

Li Yue smiled and said, "Why didn't the queen mother come?" ”

Li Lizhi pulled Li Zhi, who was only four years old, "My son is less than a year old, and he can't do without the queen mother, the father wants to stay in the palace to deal with state affairs, and the queen mother naturally has to take care of it." ”

Li Yue looked at the children who followed behind, and as soon as Gao Yang saw the little bear, he pounced on him and wanted to fight with the little bear.

However, Xiaoxiong didn't dare to resist under Li Yue's gaze, and let Princess Gaoyang bully.

A group of bear children walked into the house, and it seemed that the bear's hard life was coming.

After settling down the children, Li Chengqian was also relieved, and these children will be handed over to your husband and wife to take care of. Diaphragm

Zhang Yang said: "It's okay, it's a nursery." ”

Li Chengqian smiled awkwardly.

There are also palace maids in the room at home who are handed over to the aunt to arrange, a large group of Yiyi's bear children, this encounter is really terrifying

Zhang Yang saw Li Ke in the same place again, "This is His Royal Highness the King of Shu?" ”

Li Ke nodded with a straight face.

Li Chengqian explained: "Li Ke and Lone live together, you can arrange it." ”

"That's even better." Diaphragm

found an empty house in the village, and let Li Chengqian's guards clean it up and live in.

With the crown prince and the king of Shu, he walked in the village.

When there is a prince, Li Tai is naturally indispensable.

Adhering to the intention of not losing to the crown prince, Li Tai casually introduced the situation in the village.

"When I came here last year, I still remember that I didn't expect there to be so many changes now."

Zhang Yang explained: "There are a few more hydrowheels than before, and it is also to expand production capacity, and more will be built in the future." ”

Looking south from the Weishui River, there is a well-groomed wheat field. Diaphragm

Li Chengqian pondered, "Gu also thought about it at the beginning, and it is indeed more suitable to grow wheat. ”

Zhang Yang nodded, "After all the wheat is harvested, I plan to make a wine made from wheat." ”

Li Tai slowly raised his head and asked, "Is it delicious?" ”

"It's a very refreshing drink, but it's not easy to preserve, so it's best to drink it freshly."

"This king must also taste it."

Li Ke followed all the way with a straight face, and Li Chengqian said in a low voice: "Li Ke, go and see if the house is cleaned up, I'm afraid those guards won't arrange it." ”

"Whoa!" Li Ke saluted with a horizontal knife and turned to leave. Diaphragm

"He's used to it in the army, and he's always been like this, and he doesn't know how to be polite."

Zhang Yang nodded, "That's good." ”

Seeing that the people were gone, there were only three people left here, Li Chengqian looked at Li Tai again, "There are only three of us at the moment, and some words will not be hidden. ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, please speak."

"It's my father and the orphan who said that we also have to look at the printing and papermaking skills of Lishan."

Li Tai snorted coldly: "I know that there is such an arrangement." ”

The factory in Lishan is built on the east side of the village, and the factory is half a mile from the village, and there is a small road leading to it, and Zhang Yang leads the way. Diaphragm

After a short pause, Zhang Yang pointed to a hillside in Lishan Mountain, "Has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seen that hillside?" ”

Li Chengqian nodded.

Li Tai explained: "According to my brother-in-law's arrangement, we bulldozed the hillside, which can be used to dry paper, and we can dry more than 100 rolls of paper every day. ”

Walking closer, Li Chengqian then asked, "Is it only so much a day?" ”

Li Tai said, "Lishan is not able to produce much now, it depends on whether it can increase the population in the future, and it is very good to be able to do this in such a situation where there is such a shortage of people." ”

The prince would say this, most likely with Li Shimin's meaning.

Now Li Shimin is concerned about Sheji and the construction of Lishan, and the better the construction of Lishan, the more benefits he will get for him, and the more taxes will be paid to the DPRK and China. Diaphragm

Second, at present, Lishan has papermaking and movable type printing, which is a secret weapon for Li Shimin, as the technology becomes more and more mature, the higher the output, the more the production will be more and more for the DPRK and China.

Popularizing books is a very important part of Li Shimin's career for the imperial examination and the selection of talents.

Maybe even he, as an emperor, didn't think about how many things Lishan could influence.

Lishan's interests and social welfare are on the same side, and as long as this remains unchanged, Lishan will become richer and richer.

took Li Chengqian around the factory, and when he saw the huge roller of movable type printing, he was also stunned.

Seeing the prince's surprised expression, Li Tai snorted disdainfully, as if Li Chengqian was a countryman who had never seen the world.

At present, the paper workshop is still only an open-air workshop, and there is no way to do it, bamboo and dragon's beard grass want to be soaked in lye in the open air, and the wastewater used to make soap can be reused. Diaphragm

Let Li Chengqian wander around the village by himself, and the prince will come here for the next month to increase his knowledge that he has never had.

It was the beginning of summer in June, and the smell of wheat wafted through the village every morning and evening, indicating that the grain was about to ripen.

There are a few more children in the family, Zhang Yang needs to cook a few more dishes by himself, and he also needs to have balanced nutrition.

Li Yue likes children very much, she is taking the children in the palace to play the game of eagles and chickens, and Aunt Yang is coming to be an eagle.

A game fills the yard with laughter.

When the meal was served, they were all hungry too.

They are all children who came out of the palace, and their upbringing is good, and they can't talk or make trouble when they eat. Diaphragm

After the group of children finished eating, Zhang Yang cleaned up the somewhat messy dinner table.

It was at this time that Li Yuan came, and he said with a smile; "Boy Zhang, but I still have food, I'm hungry."

First, after cleaning up the messy dinner table, Zhang Yang brought him a bowl of rice, and the emperor could eat it very deliciously.

"I can't get tired of eating this scallion oil chicken, and the people in the palace just can't make this kind of smooth and tender chicken."

"You're welcome, I wanted to bring one over, but I'll save trouble when you're old."

Li Yuan looked to the other side of the courtyard and watched a group of children listening to the lecture neatly.

"When will you and Yue'er have a child?" Diaphragm

"At the moment, Yue'er's body is not suitable for giving birth to children, and she still needs to recuperate, and I want her to exercise more recently."

Li Yuan nodded, "Yue'er has not been in good health since she was a child, so you can take care of her so patiently." ”

Zhang Yang poured him a bowl of tea, and faced Li Yuan much better than Li Shimin.

As an emperor, Li Shimin's words and deeds are often purposeful, no matter how Li Shimin doesn't want to be a faint king, he is now the Khan of Heaven and wants to be a virtuous king.

Li Yuan is different, he is a grandfather to the children in the palace.

To say that Li Shimin's teaching of children, such as the contradiction between the crown prince and the king of Wei, is more like forcing Li Chengqian and Li Tai to make a choice again and again in order to cultivate a successor.

But Li Yuan, as a grandfather, is really for the good of the children, after stepping down from the throne, his identity is not only the emperor, but also the elder of the children, and the grandfather who cares most about the growth of these children. Diaphragm

After eating the meal, Li Yuan was satisfied after eating a whole scallion oil chicken alone.

He is an old man, and Zhang Yang is still very worried about his digestion.

"You take a few more steps after dinner, drink more tea, eat so much and it's not easy to digest, your stomach is no better than that of a young person."

Li Yuanman didn't care, "I finally got out of the palace once, so I naturally want to have a good meal." ”

There is more of this group of children in the family, and it is also lively.

Li Yue kept playing with the children until late at night, and they were not willing to sleep.

"I'm tired." Zhang Yang looked at her and said. Diaphragm

"Hmm." Li Yue agreed in a low voice, "Wash and sleep, and my husband will rest early." ”

Zhang Yang shook his fan and nodded.

In the seventh year of Zhenguan, half a month has passed in June of this year, and all villages and counties have begun to prepare for the summer harvest.

In the Guanzhong Plain, all arable land is grain.

This is the confidence of the army and the court, with food and food storage, even if there is another natural disaster, it will not be afraid.

West of Chang'an City, at the end of the field.

It was the right direction of Long, and a group of soldiers and horses swept past the official road, rolling up a large cloud of dust. Diaphragm

Passers-by on the official road dodged one after another, standing on the side of the road to watch the soldiers and horses run by, and when the dust cleared, the villagers who were rushing to Chang'an City picked up their bags and bamboo baskets again and continued walking.

Chang'an City was in front of him, and this army of soldiers and horses slowed down.

One by one the war horses stopped in front of Chang'an City, Niu Jinda turned over and dismounted and first shouted, and a group of soldiers dismounted neatly, took off their armor and put down their swords.

There was a ruler standing in front of the city, with papers in his hands, to pay the soldiers who were guarding the border.

Niu Jinda walked to the front of the city, and first preached to the military officials in front of him: "The soldiers are all here, and the last general will guard the Hexi Corridor for three years, and he will come and go." ”

The squire of the military department said loudly: "It is the hour of the early dynasty, and I also ask the general to wait in front of the Chengtian Gate." ”

"Whoa!" Diaphragm

Niu Jinda responded loudly, his voice was full of energy, and the momentum tempered in the ranks was exciting.

The voice echoed in front of the city for a long time.

Then he ran all the way to Chengtianmen.

Taiji Hall is the early dynasty.

Li Shimin looked at the officials in the hall, the officials of the three provinces and the six ministries should be there, and his eyes swept the hall, and there was one less person in the position of the Ministry of Rites.

The kid who was at the front was the one who stood at the front.

"Has Niu Jin arrived?" Li Shimin spoke slowly. Diaphragm

Li Daoyan ran all the way to the front of the hall, "Your Majesty, General Niu Jinda is outside the Chengtian Gate, waiting to be summoned. ”

Li Shimin bowed his head: "Summoning him into the temple." ”

"Whoa."

At this moment, Niu Jinda had already taken off his armor and was wearing a cloth coat, and he heard the guards ordering him to step into Chengtianmen.

Trotting all the way to the front of the hall, Niu Jinda bowed and saluted, "Meet Your Majesty!" ”

"I've been on the border for three years, and it's been hard to get in."

"What Your Majesty pointed out, the end will definitely sweep it away, but three years, what if it is ten years!" Diaphragm

Hearing this, Li Shimin nodded, "After three years of guarding the border, you can gain something from keeping an eye on Tibet." ”

Niu Jinda saluted again, "Back to Your Majesty, Songtsan Gampo is indeed a wolf's ambition, after Lu Dongzan returned to Tubo in May this year, he began to gather soldiers and horses, and even many Tubo haunted the Hexi Corridor, which seemed to be investigating the military situation." ”

After speaking, Niu Jinda handed over a piece of music.

Li Shimin asked again: "What is the geometry of the soldiers and horses of Tubo?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, there are 10,000 horses and more than 50,000 soldiers."

The people in the hall were talking again, Songtsen Gampo gathered 50,000 soldiers and horses, it is said that the bitter cold land of Tubo can pull out tens of thousands of war horses, and tens of thousands of soldiers and armor are indeed incredible.

Since the successive dynasties, this should be the heyday of Tibet. Diaphragm

Li Shimin came to the spirit, "Where are the soldiers and horses of Tubo now?" ”

Niu Jinda replied: "There are soldiers and horses in the west of Qilian Mountain, most of the soldiers and horses are still in the depths of Tubo. ”

At this moment, there was more talk in the court, and the smell of war was getting worse and worse.

"When the last general handed over to General Li, the secretary of Taifuqing, there was also an entrustment to guard against Tibet, and the Tubo people knew that they had changed their guards and sent more soldiers and horses, so there were more Tubo people who came to investigate."

Li Shimin breathed heavily, "My Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses are stationed in the Hexi Corridor, and he Songtsan Gampo also wants to plot against it?" ”

Niu Jinda lowered his head, "The last general thinks that Songtsen Gampo does have the intention of plotting the Hexi Corridor, and there are Tubo people who bypassed the Hexi Corridor to investigate the soldiers and horses of Songzhou, and were captured by the eyes of the last general." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he should write to ask Songtsen Gampo what he means." "Ahh

Li Shimin glanced at the court class again, and saw the team of the Ministry of Rites, the position of the Ministry of Rites was empty, if Zhang Yang was standing here at this time, he might have a different opinion.

This kid said that he was grounded for a month, but he was idle, and he really planned not to come to Chang'an City for a month?

Have a good time in his fiefdom?

After another nervous discussion between the DPRK and China, Li Shimin decided to ask the Ministry of Rites to prepare a letter and send it to Tibet to see what Songtsen Gampo meant.

After going down to the court, he summoned Wei Chigong, Niu Jinda, Qin Qiong, Fang Xuanling, eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Zheng and others to go to the Ganlu Hall to discuss again.

The DPRK and China naturally had to respond to such a provocation from Tibet, and Li Shimin, as the Heavenly Khan, also needed to establish his authority.

Such a big thing can't just ask the Ministry of Rites. Diaphragm

Xu Jingzong hurried to Lishan after taking a trip to the Foreign Affairs Academy, and just walked to the city gate, he bumped into Li Daoyan and Su Dingfang.

"Two generals, this is ......"

"We'll go on a trip to Lishan with you."

The matter is urgent, and the matter of sending a letter to Tubo must be asked by Zhang Shangshu and then replied to His Majesty.

I went to Lishan to see Zhang Yang, and it should be evening when I returned to Chang'an City, and it was too late to rush back to report to His Majesty.

After thinking about it in his heart, Xu Jingzong stomped his foot, "The two of you want to follow." ”

An hour later, Lishan ...... Diaphragm

Zhang Yang sat at the foot of Lishan Mountain with a fan, enjoying the coolness here, and Xu Jingzong's chatter was in his ears.

In addition to Xu Jingzong, there are two guys in front of him, one is Li Daoyan, and the other is Su Dingfang.

Hearing Xu Jingzong talk about Tubo, Zhang Yang was upset and changed his sitting posture.

"I knew that letting Lu Dongzan go back was to let the tiger return to the mountain, and I should have let His Royal Highness King Wei beat him to death halfway."

Li Tai immediately stood up and said: "Xu Jingzong, you said lightly, if you say that you will be killed, you will be killed, and you will bear the charge of killing the messenger." ”

Xu Jingzong quickly calmed down again, "The lower official is a person of temperament, and he made a mistake for a while, His Royal Highness the King of Wei should not be surprised, and there are old and ...... in the lower officials."

"Alright, alright!" Zhang Yang interrupted his words, and his ears were calloused. Diaphragm
