Chapter 533: The Spirit of All
Accustomed to Cheng Chumo's previous rough appearance, he couldn't stand Menghan's tenderness, which was too twisted, Li Tai covered his face and ran all the way...... It was only when he ran into the village that he regained his footing,
"No! I can't let this king feel this pain alone, and I also let my brother-in-law know. As he spoke, he exhaled and turned into white mist in the cold air.
"Go and fetch pen and ink for this king, and I will write to my brother-in-law, and I must let him know."
"Whoa!" Cheng Chumo used to be Menghan, but he was actually quite good. Thinking of his affectionate eyes, Li Tai felt his scalp tingle, and even wanted to gag.
What a way of the world! After writing a letter, Li Tai asked people to send it to Chang'an City in a hurry, and there were still a bunch of things to do in the village.
"In the future, this king will never want to pass by that wine shop again, take a detour!" When Zhang Yang saw the letter, he also received a message from Aunt Wang.
Because Cheng Chumo had not returned home for ten days, General Cheng carried two axes and pestles to the door of the Foreign Affairs Academy all day long.
Those who don't know think he's a guard of the Foreign Service. Standing at the door like this will not only affect the façade of the Diplomatic Academy, but also affect the normal work of the Diplomatic Academy, after all, the end and beginning of each year are their busiest times.
At this time of year, there are many envoys who come to Chang'an City. After Zhang Yang finished reading the letter in his hand,
"Your son didn't come home for ten days and a half months, what does it have to do with me, Cheng Biting Jin is so unreasonable." Hearing this, her daughter even opened her mouth and smiled.
I don't know what she's laughing at.
"Trouble my aunt to go and talk to the general, and say that I will wait for him in Qujiangchi early tomorrow morning."
"Whoa." The main thing is that I am afraid that this old puppet will smash the Foreign Affairs Academy.
"Old bastard! Old bastard! Zhang Yang kneaded the dough and kept scolding.
"Messing with trouble all day long, and if you can't control your son, you will come to embarrass me?"
"Eldest grandson, this is the old fox, and he is still here to arrange me."
"Tian Khan still wants to see my jokes!"
"The people in Chang'an City are all bastards!" …… The master lost his temper again, Xiao Wu and Xu Hui shook their heads in unison very tacitly, every time the master would point at the sky and scold the earth, and he would talk about himself for a long time.
The family is used to it, and even the little bear is reluctant to look up. At night, the family eats noodles.
Li Yue praised: "The noodles made by my husband today are very chewy. Zhang Yang stirred the noodles together with a fast son and ate them in two bites.
"I'm going to meet General Cheng early tomorrow morning."
"Didn't the husband say that everything would go wrong when he met General Cheng?"
"Then I have to see it, otherwise he will tear down the Diplomatic Academy, and most of those guys will do this kind of thing." Li Yue looked surprised.
The next morning, it was another snowy day, and the snow of the previous day had not yet melted away, and frozen soil had accumulated in various parts of Guanzhong.
The snow is not heavy, and there is no heavy snow to close the road. The people of the Central Plains are industrious, and many people in Chang'an City have just gone out to clear the snow in front of the door and continue to be busy for the day's livelihood.
Tian Khan asked the Manchu Dynasty to work overtime, but he didn't say anything about the last dynasty, and he was free recently, and he could do anything to go to Shangshu.
Zhang Yang came to Qujiangchi early in the morning to clear the snow here. The daughter-in-law has to take care of the children at home, and Xu Hui and Xiao Wu can't help much, so it's better to do problems at home and learn mathematics.
The huge Qujiang Pond is all cleaned up by itself. It's no wonder that Chu Mo is busy pursuing the restaurant girl all day long.
Otherwise, you can call him for help. After days of heavy snowfall, the snow in Qujiang Pond was very thick, and Zhang Yangjin climbed onto the roof of an old house.
The houses in Qujiangchi are very old, and I don't know when they were last renovated. The snow was so thick that it had to crush the house.
Zhang Yang climbed to the edge of the eaves and pushed all the snow down with a shovel. After working so busy all morning, Zhang Yang pushed a cart of snow into the Qujiang Pond.
There was also ice in the Qujiang Pond, and a small hole was smashed into the ice when a stone was thrown, and it seems that the ice surface is not thick.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Zhang Yang climbed into the room again and began to clear the snow. Except for three or two rooms with pavilions, his house was not high, and Zhang Yang could jump from one room to the roof of another, or take a long stick and shake the snow down.
Cheng Yanjin has been here for a while, just watching Zhang Yang patiently clear the snow here, but he didn't bother, but he didn't expect this kid to be so patient, and he was stunned to clean up a house by the pool.
"Phew!" Cheng Biting Jin shouted,
"You kid just want to clean up the entire Qujiang Pond?" Zhang Yang looked back when he heard this,
"The general is here?" Cheng Yanjin stepped on the snow,
"The old man has been busy for a long time."
"These houses are very old, and if the snow accumulates more and more, the roofs will collapse." Zhang Yang shoveled up the snow in front of the house,
"Trouble the general to pour this cart of snow into the Qujiang Pond." This kid dares to call the old man? I thought that if I didn't bother with the juniors, it would be hard to see him.
Cheng Yanjin held the handle of the cart, pushed it hard, and suddenly felt heavy, gritted his teeth and pushed it forward, especially when the wheels reached the snow, it was even harder.
Finally poured the snow from the cart onto the ice surface of Qujiang Pond, and after a long time on the battlefield, he breathed a sigh of relief, because of the great force, his palms were already red.
Not to mention that Zhang Yang has been back and forth several times, where does this kid get the strength?
"Please take the trouble to clean up some of the snow over there and pour it into Qujiang Pond." Zhang Yang pointed to the small snowdrifts piled up in front of the house on the side, which were all snow pushed down from the roof, and they were all piled up in front of the house.
Cheng Yanjin raised his head and said, "The old man is not here to do things for you. With that, he closed his eyes and stood straight, waiting for a reply.
Three breaths passed...... Another ten breaths passed, and the kid didn't reply, he looked back and saw that the kid had already walked to the other side of Qujiangchi.
Cheng Biting Jin, who was originally short-tempered, wanted to jump to his feet and scold, and then saw that this kid was so hard, he was embarrassed to talk about him.
Rolling up his sleeves, he shoveled the snow into the wooden cart again, and poured all the snow into the Qujiang Pond as Zhang Yang said.
The snow fell annoyingly. Seeing that Zhang Yang cleaned up the snow facing south, he sat down, Cheng Biting Jin rubbed his sore wrist,
"Boy, aren't you tired?" Zhang Yang handed him the water bladder,
"It's tiring." Cheng Yanjin is not an elegant person who can appreciate the snow scene, for him, the snow scene is okay, but it is just a little colder.
was affected by Zhang Yang's perseverance, and he also took the initiative to remove snow. Now from the water pavilion, the south side is still wet ground, the north side is covered with snow, with the lake of Qujiang Pond as the boundary, the two sides are different, it looks quite chic.
After a few sips of warm water, Cheng Yanjin wiped some sweat from his forehead, and was secretly surprised that this kid was not red and panting.
Take off your coat to make your body more comfortable, it is the cold and freezing, Cheng Yanjin can even see a little white smoke on his body at this moment.
"What do you do?" Hearing that General Cheng finally spoke, Zhang Yang explained casually,
"He has a crush on a girl."
"Who's the girl?" As soon as he finished speaking, he was frowned at by this kid, as if asking if you don't know?
Cheng Biting Jin scratched his chin and beard, he really didn't know what was going on.
"What kind of girl is it?" Zhang Yang took back the water bladder,
"It's an ordinary girl, she opened a wine shop in Chang'an City before, barely making ends meet, and then she was entangled by Mo because of some misunderstandings and Gao Cheng's fists and feet."
"The general will know everything after that."
"The old man just knew that this kid was fighting with people, but he didn't know that it was because he had a crush on a girl, why did he never talk about it." Sitting on the embankment of Qujiang Pond, Zhang Yang stepped on the shore with one foot and swinged with one foot.
"General, I am the same age as me."
"Of course, the old man knows that you are the same age as Chu Mo."
"Since the general knows, it should be even more understood, Chu Mo is already twenty years old, and at his age, he will naturally have his own opinions, and I also know that the general has always been careful to protect him, even if it is for his own good, even if it is for his own good, but he is not the bastard boy he was back then." Cheng Yanjin was silent.
The old general, who has always been resolute, has such a sentimental look. Zhang Yang gasped, huh!
I have seen it for a long time. Slowly, Cheng Biting Jin's expression changed from sentimentality to solemnity, and slowly became a little more annoyed.
"This kid is still not sensible, how can he hook up with a girl from a good family." Zhang Yang looked at Qujiang Pond, to clean up so much snow, a day must be busy, it will take three or two days of work, I don't know if there will be the sun tomorrow, if it can turn snow, it can save some trouble.
Another cold wind blew. Zhang Yang tightened his clothes,
"General, put on your coat quickly, don't get caught by the wind chill because of the temporary coolness." Hearing this, Cheng Yanjin put on his coat again,
"It's not a good thing to be silent." Zhang Yang was surprised: "The general said that it is not good to hook up with a woman from a good family, so isn't Kong Yingda's granddaughter a woman from a good family?" Cheng Yanjin still shook his head,
"It's not good."
"Chu Mo is already an assertive person, and a father and mother can't blindly deprive their children of their opinions, Chu Mo is already twenty years old, he should have his own plans." Zhang Yang pondered for a moment and said: "Of course, there are priorities, inheriting the mantle of the general is still the first priority, as his irreversible friend, even if he doesn't want to inherit me, he will tie him up." ”
"Then send it to the general, you can pump it as much as you want, hang it up or tie it up, and you will definitely beat the drum and cheer for the general." Cheng Biting Jin's eyes glared disdainfully,
"You just want to help Chu Mo and ruin my Cheng family's good deeds."
"General! It is his own business which good family girl Chu Mo likes, even if this choice is wrong, it depends on how he chooses, in line with the principle of peace and not separation, as a good brother of Chu Mo, I support Chu Mo's own decision. ”
"Please also give your child some space to exercise his abilities, and secondly, you want your child to be able to take charge of himself in the future." Listening to Zhang Yang's words, Cheng Biting Jin, a Menghan, lowered his head,
"The old man never knew how to teach his children, and after his mother passed away, he continued to teach another string." Zhang Yang patted him on the shoulder,
"General, I will take care of it, you can rest assured."
"You have to look at Chu Mo and take care of him, and the old man will continue to worry about the marriage with the Kong family." The old horseman strode away again, and did not forget to take with him the two big axes that were not far away.
He also carries a weapon when talking to people, and is obviously uneasy and kind. If he said the wrong thing, would the old horseman have to carry an axe to chop?
Zhang Yang thought in his heart and nodded solemnly. Sure enough, people's hearts are not ancient, and there are still many bad people in Chang'an City.
Cheng Yanjin's words just now also showed that no matter what the future of Chu Mo is, or the marriage with Kong Yingda's granddaughter, he wants it.
Sure enough, he is still an old bastard, and it is difficult to reason with a bastard. Seeing that the snow was heavier again, Zhang Yang hastily cleaned up again before going home.
After some detailed discussions in Shangshu Province, Li Chengqian had a new idea about the establishment of government schools. He discussed with Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Ji and the two ministers of the court, and determined the direction.
Even Fang Xiang and Zhao Guogong felt that it was a good strategy, just like Zhang Yang said, instead of racking their brains and spending manpower and material resources to win Tongguan and Luoyang, it is better to start from the surrounding villages and counties, especially some remote places.
In this way, it can solve the unrest of the people in remote states and counties for the father, and also arrange official schools. The crown prince felt that a good prospect was in front of him, and presented it to his father.
"Father, this is Zhang Yang's strategy, he calls this a support teaching, what does my father think?" Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "The method is novel, since Xuan Ling and the auxiliary machine both think it is appropriate, then arrange a few counties to try it for half a year to see the after-effects." ”
"Erchen, let's go prepare." In the past two days, the flowing water in Lishan has been printing books almost in three shifts, and all the paper accumulated in the past two years has to be consumed.
The printed books are the thousand-character texts for children to learn, and the words are explained, and there are 20 Analects and 11 Hanshu chapters.
Printing tools can be in the hands of Lishan, but the power to print what kind of books must be in the hands of the emperor.
With the experience of the family, Li Shimin understands the power of books very well. If you want to cultivate more scholars who have no power background and are cleaner for the country, you need to hold the books in your own hands.
He didn't want to see Lishan print a large number of rebel papers. Lishan is busy non-stop, he should go to Shangshu Province to take up a post, otherwise he will be bullied by those old guys in the DPRK again.
Zhang Yang walked into Shangshu Province, and Li Lizhi handed over a book.
"This is the official school charter arranged by the royal brother, saying that he wants his brother-in-law to look at it, and he also has to arrange the use of money." Just glanced at the charter in it, it was distressing, there were no specific items and no money arrangement, just such a summary of the general leader, to Shangshu to save 3,000 yuan?
"His Royal Highness the King of Jin." Zhang Yang put away the paperwork,
"If you return this document to the prince, you will say that it is not detailed enough and will be redone." Li Zhi solemnly took the paperwork and nodded,
"Whoa."
