Zhang Yang walked a few steps again, and saw that Li Tai was still standing in place, "Why didn't His Royal Highness King Wei leave?" ”

Among the many family scrolls in the clan, Li Tai couldn't even recognize the names of some people, let alone know which branch of the clan the other party was.

In addition to getting closer to his father, several clan generals are still familiar with each other, Li Xiaogong, Li Daozong can be called an uncle.

The four generals of the clan back then, Li Daoxuan and Li Shentong, have all passed away, and now there are only Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong.

Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, naturally needless to say, is close to Zhang Yang and has business dealings with Lishan.

Li Daozong now holds a part of the military power, and he has always been alone.

Since his father ascended the throne, looking around, Li Tai found that except for three or two people in the clan, the rest were strangers.

Following in Zhang Yang's footsteps, Li Tai continued to walk, "Brother-in-law, we sent out another five stones of white sugar, and the remaining brown sugar has to be refined and there are up to three stones of white sugar, which is no longer enough." ”

Zhang Yang nodded, "Don't worry, these five stones of white sugar may not be able to be eaten so quickly in Luoyang." ”

Hearing this, Li Taisi nodded again, "Li Xuan sent a message that things are going well, and the white sugar has spread among the children of the family, and the first few people to take the bait really began to change hands." ”

Zhang Yang smiled and nodded.

I thought that the family had deep roots, and it would be difficult to overthrow the family, but since they didn't have a weakness, they created a weakness.

It's not so much that they take the bait, but that they take advantage of each other, and their arrogance and arrogance are the best hooks all the time in extravagant days.

The children of those families are very confident and arrogant, they believe that they will definitely not be the first to lose money, and everyone wants to eat the first bite of fish.

】

Walking to the blacksmith workshop, Master Jiang and a group of blacksmiths were busy, because brass and hematite have different melting points, and when you want to cast and forge together, you should pay more attention to the change in temperature.

Zhang Yang observed the scrap iron scattered on the ground, which were all failures.

It is not easy to pick up a long-ago bronze casting again.

Thinking of the melting point, Zhang Yang remembered Li Tai's bronze realm, the melting point of iron is different from the melting point of bronze, and the burned copper is cast on it when the bronze is still cooling and expanding when it is cast.

As for why the diagram behind the bronze mirror is reflected, it is likely that the direction of force was changed during casting, and different melting points and temperatures were used to pour them together.

The result of the irradiation is some kind of optical principle, and it is not yet certain what it is.

It was another technical problem, Zhang Yang sighed helplessly.

Master Jiang picked up these scrap iron materials and continued to calcin.

"What does my brother-in-law think?" Li Tai asked in a low voice.

"Let's try."

Because of the different melting points and the properties of iron ore, brass and hematite look like they are stuck together, one yellow and one white are very distinct.

The cost of copper casting alone is too great.

Zhang Yang said again: "Can His Royal Highness the King of Wei send someone to search for other kinds of iron ore?" ”

"This king can ask the Ministry of Industry to search for some, does my brother-in-law want to make a few more attempts?"

"The properties of each iron ore are different, and since brass is not good, let's use hematite."

Now all the limonite used in the village is limonite.

Li Tai pondered, "Hematite is mostly used to cast weapons, if you want too much, the Ministry of Industry may not give it, but there are still iron ore dealers in the market, although the hematite in their hands is not of good quality and the price is high, at least it can be handled." ”

Zhang Yang shook his head, "I can't look for them, your father will be suspicious, most of them think that we are going to cast weapons in Lishan to rebel, and the blacksmith workshop will continue to tackle key technologies, as for the matter of raw materials, I will talk to your father and emperor." ”

Leave the technical research to Li Tai.

Taking into account the technical research of Lishan, Zhang Yang also cared about his daughter, walked through the lively village, and smiled back to the villagers who greeted him one by one.

The most important thing in Lishan is grain, especially wheat.

Although there is not much rice, it can be used occasionally to change the taste.

Zhang Yang walked home, and Aunt Yang was holding the child.

Taking the child from his aunt's arms, Zhang Yang looked at her face, his little hands were shaking wildly, and he was trying to open his eyes.

After lying in bed for a long time, Li Yue could barely get out of bed, her face was still snow-white, and she hurt a lot of vitality after giving birth to the whole child.

There was a bowl of wine in front of her, and her eyes were staring.

Zhang Yang sat beside her with the child in his arms.

Li Yue smelled the aroma of wine, "I haven't drunk for a long time, and I don't know what wine tastes like." ”

"If you can't help it, you can taste it."

"But now if you drink alcohol, it hurts your body, especially your body's vitality."

After Li Yue finished speaking, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, sniffed the wine vigorously, then picked up the wine bowl and handed the bowl of wine to the bear at his feet.

The bear sniffed it and then began to lick it.

Li Yue looked at her daughter gently, "She always seems to want to catch something." ”

After a while, the teacher and his wife also came, followed by Zhang Daxiang and Zhang Dasu, the teacher's wife.

The couple stepped forward to greet each other.

Zhang Gongjin took out a piece of jade pendant, "The old man has nothing to give, this jade pendant was your mother's dowry, so I gave it to this child." ”

Zhang Yang took the jade pendant and saluted, "Teacher Xie." ”

Zhang Gongjin still nodded, "Go out and talk." ”

Glancing at the two brothers, Elephant and Dasu, leaving the master and daughter-in-law in the courtyard, Zhang Yang followed the teacher's father and son to the courtyard.

Zhang Gongjin glanced at his two sons.

Zhang Daxiang said: "I told my father everything, the county guard of Liaodong is old, if the imperial examination is to change the county guard again this time, Da'an's situation will be very embarrassing, since the Foreign Affairs Yuan wants to run Liaodong, the power of governance must be in our hands." ”

Da Su also nodded, "So this time I will discuss with my father." ”

Zhang Gongjin is still the best at things in the court, no matter how much he is an old strategist, he stands out from so many heroes back then, and he is insidious and spicy.

Zhang Gongjin paced back and forth and pondered, "That is, let Wang Jue go to Liaodong, he will most likely be able to accept the old man's affection." ”

Seeing the teacher looking at him, Zhang Yang subconsciously lowered his head.

Zhang Gongjin said again: "Now only you, Zhang Yang, can invite him out of the mountain." ”

There was a feeling of being ordered in danger, Zhang Yang was puzzled: "This Wang Jue is a lot old, if he wants to go all the way to Liaodong, wouldn't it be ...... to have old bones?"

Liaodong is thousands of miles away from Chang'an Road, and the border of Liaodong is next to Goguryeo, and in the easternmost part of the Central Plains, such a long journey has to endure a lot of hardships.

Zhang Gongjin had a smile on his face, "So, you are still young." ”

Zhang Yang arched his hand and emphasized: "Teacher, I have become a father." ”

"What if you're still young and have children? How can you fight with your eldest grandson Wuji with such a plan. ”

"I didn't think about Zhao Guogong fighting, the students thought that Zhao Guogong and I were both for the Tang Dynasty, although I didn't agree with his Fang Shi to the scholars, but we all had the same goal."

Zhang Daxiang helped his father to sit down, "The old man asked Wang Jue to go to Liaodong, but he didn't say that he would go to the border of Liaodong." ”

"What does the teacher mean?"

"Alas......" Zhang Gongjin sighed: "You also said that Wang Jue is old, an old man like him has traveled thousands of miles to Liaodong, and it is normal for people to get sick halfway, and he will return to his hometown to recuperate for a year and a half, and when his health improves, he will be able to go to Liaodong again. ”

Lowering his head, Zhang Gongjin put down the crutches in his hand, "This Wang Jue has long had the intention of retiring, he can also give the old man a little thin face, and now he is given a chance to retreat, and he will definitely not refuse the old man." ”

As for how long he wants to recuperate, it all depends on his old man's mood, Liaodong can pay close attention to development, and he can also block the appointment of officials in Liaodong, which is indeed smart.

Zhang Yang arched his hand and said: "The face and reasons are all thought out by Wang Qi and his old man, the teacher is far-sighted, and the students admire." ”

"They are all people who are going to die, and the old man and Wang Jue cherish each other."

When talking to the teacher, he will always make the atmosphere very ecstatic, and he will talk about life and death at every turn.

"Da'an is alone in Liaodong, and the old man is very worried about him."

Zhang Daxiang said in a low voice: "Father, don't worry, I have already sent people from the Foreign Affairs Institute to help him." ”

Zhang Gongjin said again: "The old man is also very worried, Da'an is still inexperienced, can he bear such a big responsibility on his shoulders?" ”

"Teacher, rest assured, according to the plan of the Foreign Affairs Academy, Liaodong and even Youzhou go south, that land will become a rich land, and if things go well, Da Stable will definitely come back with merit."

"I don't know if I'll be able to see Da'an again in my lifetime." Zhang Gongjin's eyes looked into the distance, "The elephant is a stubborn child, although Dasu is talented and learned, his mind jumps out, it is difficult to become a big tool, and only Da'an still has a pure conscience." ”

There was some meaning in the words, Zhang Yang observed the teacher's complexion, his face was not bad, and it was the best news that his condition did not deteriorate.

"Won't the teacher go into the courtyard and sit?"

"Not going in." Zhang Gongjin stood up again on crutches.

Bidding farewell to the teacher, the teacher and his wife also left.

Li Yue watched her husband walk back into the courtyard, "What did the teacher say?" ”

Zhang Yang drank boiling water and thought, "Maybe we have a helper." ”

"Well, it's good to have a helper."

Approaching Chinese New Year's Eve, Chang'an City was brightly lit, and the Heavenly Khan ordered the curfew to be lifted for three days, and the city was noisy and lively.

There are often fights in the inn.

As a waiter in the Ministry of Rites and the second-in-command of the Foreign Affairs Academy, Xu Jingzong asked the injured to be carried away.

These Western Turks always did not stop, and they fought every three or five times, and the tables and chairs in the post house were changed three times.

Xu Jingzong held the account to be paid to the post house in his hand, and sighed.

Late at night, Zhang Yang was still drawing drawings at home, and the children and daughter-in-law had already slept.

Xiao Wu looked at it curiously, "What is this that the teacher drawn?" ”

Zhang Yang looked at the picture he had drawn, "This is called a cannon, and it is a very powerful thing." ”

"How powerful."

The child asked a very boring question, how powerful the artillery is related to the size, how powerful it is is related to its caliber, it is not a question of whether it is powerful or not.

"Why aren't you sleeping yet?"

"Then I went to sleep." Xiao Wu walked into his room on his short legs, and soon the whispers of two girls came from the room.

Aunt Yang accompanies her daughter-in-law's bedside and takes care of the children.

Zhang Yang had no choice but to build a wooden board outside the room, and then wrap it in cloth with broken cotton at home to make a pillow.

Most of the past two days have to sleep like this, and when her body is better, she will return to Chang'an City.

The daughter-in-law has just given birth to a child, so she needs to supplement more nutrition, vegetables and meat, and I don't know how many eggs are left in the village.

I fell asleep groggily, and when I woke up in the morning to wash, I suddenly felt a hot pain in the corners of my mouth.

In the past two days, I have been drawing drawings until late at night, and it is really on fire.

The two aunts took turns to change shifts, the daughter-in-law was still asleep, the two girls did not wake up, and the snoring of the bear was still there.

The sky was not completely bright, Zhang Yang put on his coat and walked out of the courtyard gate, and there were still some ice slags on the road.

There are already villagers who wake up early.

Walk through the chicken pen and enter the storeroom, where there are quite a few eggs.

The cries of the hens, their eyes looking around curiously, and even a few of them tried to jump over the fence with their immature wings fluttering.

Then they discovered a terrible fact, in the eyes of these chickens, their world is this world, the earth is only so big, and the sky is only a small piece.

Zhang Yang put a few eggs into the bamboo basket and walked out of the warehouse.

There were two old hens left, but there were quite a few ducks left.

The saddest thing at this moment should be King Wei, he likes scallion oil chicken and roast duck the most.

I still want to eat it until I kill the two remaining hens, or I just wait for the chicks to grow up.

The morning breeze was still blowing and making people tremble, Zhang Yang returned home with a basket of eggs, Xiao Wu and Xu Hui were washing, and after a while, they had to practice swordsmanship with their aunt.

Practicing martial arts to exercise the body, it can also be used for self-defense.

Well, not bad.

Cooking porridge with rice, Zhang Yang walked into the back of his yard again, and cut a few green onions to make scallion oil eggs.

When the meal was served, I saw Li Yue leaning against the wall and trying to walk, and was able to walk around the yard.

"It's time to eat." Zhang Yang said loudly.

Xu Hui and Xiao Wu washed their hands and served the table for the first time.

After a day of recuperation, today's Li Yue has a great appetite, with scallion oil eggs, she ate two bowls of meat porridge and burped comfortably.

"It's good to have an appetite, it's a good recovery." Zhang Yang poured a bowl of boiled water and handed it to her.

"Yesterday I was thinking about changing the shoes that my children will wear in the future, and now I think about it, and I have always forgotten things recently."

"You can take more notes."

Aunt Wang came out with the child in her arms, "Her Royal Highness the princess, the county marquis, the child has opened his eyes." ”

The little one is trying to open his eyes to the maximum.

Li Yue reached out and took out a silk silk and dipped it in some warm water, and wiped it around the child's eyes.

Feeling the light, the child's feet were dangling, and his eyelids were still moving.

After another moment, her eyes finally opened, and her small clear eyes looked at the couple in front of her.

Her eyes then turned to her aunt.

finally his eyes fell on Zhang Yang's face, and the child cried again.

Li Yue hugged her and coaxed.

"Xiao Wu, do I look fierce?" Zhang Yang wondered.
