Chapter 514: A son-in-law is always a bad thing
The two of them stood in the water pavilion of Qujiang Pond, and Li Shimin frowned, "There is a battle report from Mobei, Li Ji broke Xue Yantuo's front army and went straight to Xue Yantuo's tooth tent."
"The general's banner is victorious, and the minister congratulates His Majesty."
Li Shimin said, "In addition to Li Ji's report, there is also a letter from Yinan Khan."
Zhang Yang pondered, "Really?"
"I'll tell you about this later, but I'm not in a hurry." Li Shimin looked at the scenery in front of him, "I didn't think the scenery of Qujiang Pond was so good before."
"No one has set foot here for a long time, the natural scenery is pleasant, and the fish in Qujiang Pond are fatter."
"Killing fish is a spoiler for the landscape."
"This is my backyard, I can kill if I want."
The bleak autumn wind blew, Li Shimin shook his head and sighed, "Someone will come to decorate early tomorrow morning, I hope you can come tomorrow too."
"I'm not a good man."
"If you don't come, I will demote Li Xiaogong to Lingnan." Li Shimin dropped this sentence and left.
Zhang Yang held his breath and resisted the urge to scold, the vicious Tian Khan, he actually wanted to blackmail me.
Facts have proved that it is okay to negotiate peace with the emperor for money, but it is certainly not possible to negotiate face with the emperor.
Zhang Yang washed his face with pool water, and he didn't have the heart to continue looking at the scenery.
In the market of the East Market, people came and went at the moment, Zhang Yang bought some meat and vegetables, and Cheng Chumo came.
"I know that you have returned to Chang'an City, so I will come to see you."
Zhang Yang handed him a radish, "What's going on?"
Cheng Chumo took a bite of the white radish, and chewed it in his mouth, "The matter over there in Dali Temple has been settled, and it was all arranged by Xu Jingzong."
Zhang Yang nodded as he walked all the way.
"The matter is settled, Sun Shaoqing is not so good, he smells wrong, and he is holding on to the eucalyptus at the moment."
"It's also a good thing that Dali Temple has such a person presiding." Zhang Yang looked back at him again, "Are you going to Qujiangchi Garden tomorrow?"
Cheng Chumo nodded, "The old man in the family said that if you don't go, you will be beaten badly, and you can't beat him."
How embarrassing, father and son still fight?
The door style of his old Cheng family is really strong.
Zhang Yang bought some persimmons again, and continued to advise: "Keep an eye on the affairs in Luoyang, there may be movement in a few days."
The two sat down on the side of the road, Cheng Chumo was still chewing a radish in his mouth, "How do you start?"
Zhang Yang poured out some copper coins from the cloth bag, counted them silently, and said, "If they are just a normal business, we naturally can't do anything about them, but if they do something out of the ordinary because the money is not enough, Brother Chu Mo can do it."
"Luoyang's eucalyptus, can Chang'an City also interfere? If the eucalyptus of Luoyang is under the control of Luoyang, wouldn't it be impossible to start with the collusion between the children of these families and the local government?" Cheng Chu silently said the worry in his heart.
Zhang Yang's expression was solemn, "If something really goes wrong, maybe even our manpower will be implicated by them, and these crazy people will make some outrageous moves."
Listen to the cries in the bazaar, and the passers-by in front of you.
"Don't we have a conscientious Sun Shaoqing? It's tricky to deal with someone like him, and if there's something big that can distract him, can't we just let it go?"
Cheng Chumo slapped his thigh, "Sure enough, you still need to use more wisdom when talking to people."
Zhang Yang nodded slightly, "If we want to move the children of Luoyang, we have to make all preparations, we need a lot of manpower, you can find Shangguan Yi to arrange it first, and if necessary, you can mobilize all our manpower."
"Got it, string these people together like beads."
Zhang Yang nodded, "It's not easy to catch them all, you can take a part of it first and catch it step by step."
Because the climate in Lingnan is good this year, the growth of sugarcane is also good, and there are bumper harvests along the Lingnan line, Li Tai spent a lot of money to go to Lingnan to buy sucrose, counting the stock of sucrose from last year to now is only 100 stones, and there is still Lingnan sucrose constantly sent to Lishan.
The white sugar sent to Luoyang has now reached 200 stones, and once the stored white sugar is sent to Luoyang, the price is bound to fall.
On the other hand, because of the slow transportation capacity of Lishan, the transportation can only rely on batches of people to transport slowly, and it may not be until the late autumn and winter, the porters who have traveled long distances from Lingnan can complete the delivery of cane sugar.
Sucrose is not so expensive, and the cost of transportation has increased several times when it is included.
If you buy a bucket of cane sugar in Lingnan for only 60 yuan, the price of cane sugar that can be delivered to Lishan has increased fivefold.
If it hadn't been refined into white sugar, it would have been carried to a bucket of two hundred guan by those guys in Luoyang, and it would have lost money just by ordinary sales.
This year's year is good, and refining 300 stone white sugar is probably not a problem.
The business plate of white sugar is not large, and the amount of white sugar is not much.
Zhang Yang also wanted to ask how the girl he had taken a fancy to before was there, and when he looked back, he would have already gone away.
Because of the inflow of Liaozhai, Chang'an City once again set off a craze for reading.
Even people who were originally illiterate began to learn to read, and they would gather in groups of three or five to ask a literate person to tell the story in the book for a few dollars.
The power of books is powerful, so strong that even if the Maison Gate Valve spends a great deal of effort to resist, it cannot stop the spread of these stories.
Li Yue is telling the two girls at home about the number series operation.
Zhang Yang washed the meat and vegetables he bought, and listened carefully, and in a few days they could learn formula operations, and then application problems and geometry problems.
After a class, Zhang Yang also made lunch.
Sitting down around the dining table, Li Yue held the bowl and whispered, "Husband, I heard that this time in the garden, my father arranged a lot of nobles."
"Your father paid the money anyway." Zhang Yang took out an IOU as he spoke.
"Sixty dollars?" Li Yue looked at his father's handwriting on the painting, nodded and said, "This is not bad."
"When the garden is over, ask your father to arrange for someone to clean it."
After the meal, Zhang Yang continued to work on his workbench, the vernier calipers that Lishan now uses do not have a compass, and the reading of the measuring tape determines the accuracy of manufacturing.
It is difficult to measure a thousandth reading.
It's a nerve-wracking thing to want to make a micrometer.
Zhang Yang searched the memories in his mind, it was very difficult at home before, and he repaired the broken ruler by himself.
With vernier calipers also increase the range of measurement, depth, width, diameter can be used to measure.
This is the case in the foundry industry, where basic casting and tools are inseparable.
Zhang Yang looked up at the design on the wall, which was a huge furnace that could be calcined by calcination of the current iron ingots of Lishan, and then run over by a huge wheel.
It is a small hot rolling process, because the temperature does not meet the requirements, and it can only be painted according to the gourd, and it can be completed as well as possible.
Li Yue came with the account book, "Husband, this is the tax we have to pay this year."
Zhang Yang opened the booklet and looked, "Eight thousand guan...... So much?"
"Well, because at the beginning of the year, the weaving cloth made from our wool sold very well, and this year the Turks sent 300 stone more wool than in previous years, and we can earn more this year."
[In view of the general environment,
She was still a little proud.
"Will Shangshu here in Chang'an City still buy from Lishan this year?"
"Of course, Xiao Yu said that many people are already inquiring about the construction of our new workshop in Lishan, especially some traders who have come from afar and plan to sell the cloth further afield, so that we can make more money."
While talking, Li Yue opened another account book, "10,000 stone of old grain has been sent to the Hexi Corridor, many people in the Western Regions want to buy our grain in Guanzhong, at the beginning of the year, it was very cold in the northwest, and everyone's life was not easy, in order to survive this year, they are bound to buy grain."
「
Strategize, anticipate things first, where there is a shortage of goods and sell it, we have you, the hostess, in Lishan, who is careful to calculate, where can we not get rich."
Listening to her husband's words, Li Yue raised her chin, "In this way, even if my father doesn't repay the money, we can recover all the costs we paid in less than three years."
Zhang Yang held her hand, "What if your father doesn't pay back?"
Li Yue said with a smile: "It's okay, you can use land and resources to pay off the debt, but we have to consider the value of the mortgage."
"It should still be repaid, if your father doesn't pay it back, let your father's son pay it back, and we still have a notary in our house."
Noticing that her husband's hands were dishonest again, the couple was fighting.
Speaking of using glass to install windows, Li Yue's attitude was resolute, "Even if the family has money, it can't be wasted like this."
"It's not a waste, it's a good use."
I went back to the room in a fight, and I wanted to persuade my daughter-in-law to agree with the glass window, and I had to figure it out slowly.
"Daughter-in-law, shall we use glass to decorate the door?"
Li Yue gritted his teeth and raised a kick.
Zhang Yang was kicked under the bed with a futon.
Crawling back into bed in embarrassment, the daughter-in-law became stronger and stronger.
If you want to realize glass doors and windows, you have to coax her well in the future.
The emperor wants to open the dynasty after the autumn, and hold a garden in Qujiang Pond, and there are many nobles in Qujiang Pond at this moment.
Quite a few people arrived early.
At home, Li Yue changed the clothes of the two little girls, and the two of them were the same tall and wore exactly the same clothes, like twin sisters.
After taking care of them, Li Yue took out a new dress from the box, "Now that the weather is hot and cold, it is better not to dress too thinly."
Wrap your husband and tie her belt, "Well, it looks more energetic."
She herself wore a red dress, tied up her hair in the mirror, and put on a hairpin, and she was dressed appropriately in the shape of a woman.
Even after so many years, her eyes are still as smart.
The couple is only over 20 years old, and it is the most energetic and beautiful time.
"I've been using this hairpin for many years, didn't your queen mother send a lot of decorations?" Zhang Yang struggled to put on his boots.
"The hairpin sent by the queen mother can only be worn on solemn occasions, but you don't have to be too deliberate when visiting the garden." As he was talking, Li Yue turned his head and saw a hairpin handed by her husband.
"Huh? Where did this hairpin come from?"
A hairpin is silvery-white, heavy in the hand, very smooth, and somewhat reflective.
Walking behind her, Zhang Yang put it on her, and then hung a small string of beads, "How do you look now?"
Li Yue looked at it with satisfaction, "Well, it's very beautiful."
"I polished it myself with nothing to do."
If you don't look closely, it's like it's made of silver.
It is not as expensive as the hosta, but it also looks rich.
"Imperial Sister!" Li Liqing's voice came from outside the hospital, and she ran into the house with Dongyang and Gaoyang.
Li Yue decorated and walked out of the house, "Why are you here?"
Li Li smiled and held the imperial sister's arm, "The queen mother is outside the courtyard, saying that we will go to Qujiang Courtyard together."
"Xiao Wu Xiaohui, let's go together."
Li Yue picked up the child and went out of the house together.
Aunt Yang stayed at home to watch the bear, Zhang Yang confirmed, and then followed the queen's car.
The daughter-in-law and Princess Changle and the queen sat in the car, and Zhang Yang could still hear their words when he walked aside.
Walking to Qujiang Pond, what caught my eye was the nobles and people in the clan who came and went.
The queen's chariot entered through the entrance, bypassed the crowd, and went to the courtyard at the rear.
Li Shimin was here, and he still held the Luban lock he had used in Lishan before, "I studied for several days, and finally unlocked it."
The prince stepped forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, everything is ready."
Li Shimin nodded
"Then go and meet them."
Walking out of the pavilion, the palace people on the side rang the bell, and everyone's eyes seemed to see His Majesty and the Queen.
Li Shimin said the congratulations of this visit to the garden, and also said that this year's harvest was in a good mood.
The people surrounding Qujiangchi are all paying attention to this heavenly khan.
Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, many of them have been heroes who fought together on the battlefield back then, and now Datang is the time when the cohesion is the strongest.
"Datang Wansheng! Datang Wansheng! Datang Wansheng ......"
After Li Shimin's words were finished, there was a cheer from below.
For Datang, who is not very strong now, he has spent the most difficult early years of Zhenguan, and every year's grain harvest is a thing worth celebrating for Datang.
The maiko of Taijoji Temple walked into the water pavilion in the center of Qujiang Pond, and the drums sounded, and they danced in the water pavilion.
Li Shimin sat down again, "Zhang Yang, look at such a beautiful scene, why can't I be strong in the Tang Dynasty!"
"Yes, Datang is very powerful." Zhang Yang said melancholy: "But the next year's fortune has not yet been settled."
Li Shimin held his forehead with a calm face, "I found that talking to you is very troublesome and very beautiful."
Li Chengqian walked quickly, "Father, Xu Guogong and his uncle are in the audience, and they have something to discuss with Zhang Yang."
Li Shimin bowed his head and said, "Then please come up and listen to me together."
"Why?"
As soon as he heard that Xu Guogong Gao Shilian and the current uncle Wuji, Li Yue's expression became a little solemn.
She retreated behind the curtain with the queen, and discussed with the queen mother what to pay attention to when raising children.
Qujiang Pond was very lively, and the eldest grandson Wuji helped Gao Shilian to the high platform, and they were followed by a middle-aged man.
Li Shimin stepped forward to help Gao Shilian, "Uncle, is he doing well recently?"
Gao Shilian saluted with a cane, "Let Your Majesty miss it, the old minister's body is okay."
Li Shimin said loudly, "Give me a seat."
Three or two tables were moved up, several people took their seats, and Gao Shilian and the eldest grandson Wuji said to Li Shimin the congratulations of this year's harvest.
The Tang Dynasty is in the period of agricultural recovery, the Central Plains' agriculture has not yet recovered to its peak, it has been the same throughout the ages, whether it is the emperor or the local gentry will hold a banquet to celebrate the harvest, after all, it is a big agricultural country, and the stability of the country is in agriculture and people's livelihood.
