Chapter 534: Afforestation Begins in the Northwest
Li Zhi left in a hurry from Shangshu Province, and he came to the East Palace with the papers. Seeing the young slave coming, Li Chengqian was a little surprised,
"Childish, why did you come to the East Palace today? There are some pastries here that you can try. Li Zhi glanced at a plate of pastries on the table, picked up a piece and tasted it.
"Well, it's delicious, take it back and give it to my brother-in-law to taste it too."
"Did he read Lone's paperwork?" Hearing the imperial brother's question, Li Zhi took out the document and handed it over,
"My brother-in-law has read it, and he said that it is not detailed enough, and I hope that the royal brother will rewrite it." Li Chengqian took it suspiciously,
"Rewrite?"
"Hmm." Li Zhi ate the pastry and left with a whole plate. This is the strategy of volunteer teaching, and it is written with a specific charter.
And it was brought up by Zhang Yang. Li Chengqian held it in one hand and read it again, paced back and forth for a while, and then sat down again, continued to sharpen the ink and pick up the pen to continue writing.
At this moment, in Shangshu Province, Zhang Yang looked at the children playing in front of the main hall, he sat by the stove with his hands in his hands, and his mind was still thinking about the conversation with Cheng Yanjin.
Old bastard, I want this too, I want that too. Not only can his son be in charge of himself, but the marriage cannot be left behind.
The water boiled again, Zhang Yang added some cold water to the kettle, and just left the kettle on the stove and let it continue to boil.
Continue to think about the rush situation in the village, at the current printing speed, to print 10,000 books, and now the improved assembly line, three printing lines in parallel.
According to the font size, try to enrich the content of the book as much as possible, and the maximum number of books is 300 books a day.
This is still to keep the font as small as possible, to control the number of pages to 50 sheets, and to add the punctuation marks unique to Lishan.
After careful consideration, Yilishan's current level still can't meet the needs of Tian Khan. The emperor's appetite is like a whale swallowing the sea, and it can never be satisfied.
His desires will only grow. Li Zhi came with a plate of pastries,
"Brother-in-law, this is the pastry from the royal brother's side." Zhang Yang picked up a piece of white rice cake and chewed it in one bite.
Li Zhi laughed and said, "It's delicious." Zhang Yang's face was solemn,
"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, do you say that there are many old bastards in this Chang'an City."
"Old bastard?" Li Zhi sat cross-legged by the stove and sat down with his hands close to the stove to keep warm,
"What kind of old bastard."
"It's just an old bastard who wants everything, like your father."
"My father told me before that when faced with a choice, everyone is willing to give and take, how can it be that you want everything, brother-in-law, don't laugh." Zhang Yang tightened his shirt, leaned back against the chair, and crossed his hands in front of his chest with a solemn expression.
After worrying for a long time, in the afternoon, Zhang Yang was about to go home on a business trip, and just after closing the door of the main hall, the people from the East Palace came again.
Li Anyan came with four or five volumes of music,
"Zhang Shilang, the prince has redrafted the charter, please take a look." What was once one book, now it is five books.
Zhang Yang lifted the placket, picked up one roll and looked at it, and then picked up another roll after reading it. Ang Lee's eyes are full of anticipation,
"What does Zhang Shilang think?" Seeing him frowning at the contents of the scroll, Li Daxin felt a little uncomfortable, in order to write these well, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had not eaten all day, and the appearance of concentrating and working hard was seen in the eyes of the entire East Palace.
Zhang Yang put down the volume,
"This time it's really much more detailed than the last time." Li Anyan nodded heavily,
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has worked hard for this."
"But......" As soon as the words changed, several guards of the East Palace who followed looked a little ugly. Zhang Yang continued to walk outside the official residence,
"Although it is a lot more detailed, there is no follow-up arrangement, and the follow-up plan on the personnel arrangement, please bring it back and let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rewrite it."
"This ......" Zhang Yang patted Li Anyan on the shoulder,
"It's hard for you to take it back, this matter must be completely arranged before there is a plan to implement it." …… Donggong and the others took the scroll back.
Li Chengqian was puzzled: "Why did he get it back?" Li Anyan looked worried,
"Zhang Shilang said that there is still no detailed implementation and follow-up arrangements, let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rewrite." Li Chengqian wanted to speak and stopped,
"Lone still wants to rewrite?"
"That's exactly what I said." After reading all his volumes again, Li Chengqian said angrily: "Then let's rewrite it." At this moment, in the Lizheng Palace, Li Shimin listened to Wang Ding's report, and he couldn't get used to Zhang Yang's call to his son.
"What kind of means did you say he used to make my children obey him?" The prince bowed and replied, "The old slave doesn't know very well, but he looks very happy." "Yes, every time these children come back to the Lizheng Hall with a smile on their faces.
This also made the queen feel at ease. In the past, children would always lose their temper in the small place of the Lizheng Palace, and the children were repeatedly harsh to the palace maids around them, and they were even more moody.
Now that there is such a place as Shangshu Province, they can be busy with some things, and they are now more obedient.
Li Shimin took a deep breath and frowned and pondered. Zhang Yang, who is a brother-in-law, is worried, and his father, who is the emperor, is also worried, Li Zhi took the magnet in his hand and glanced at his father curiously.
The prince whispered: "There is another thing, I heard that the prince is in order to prepare the charter of the official school, and he needs Shangshu to save money." ”
"I've read that charter, and Cheng Qian wrote it very well."
"But this charter was sent back twice by Zhang Shilang, saying that it was not written completely, and now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still writing it in the East Palace for this charter." Li Shimin bowed his head and said, "I will go to the East Palace for a walk." The prince bowed and nodded,
"The old slave will go to the prince."
"No, let's just get over it."
"Whoa." In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun fell on this palace, and Li Chengqian held a pen in one hand and a scroll in the other, writing and comparing the classics, which were all records of the official schools opened in previous dynasties.
Through the above records, we can get a glimpse of some experience. That is to say, Li Chengqian has taken some of these experiences from them and put them on the current process of running government schools.
The writing was very engrossed, and Li Chengqian didn't even notice that his father had entered the palace and stood aside.
"Pour some tea for Lonely." Hearing the words of the crown prince, the chamberlain on the side did not dare to act rashly, His Majesty is here.
Seeing that the tea was delayed, Li Chengqian looked up and saw that it was his father, and he hurriedly saluted.
"Father." Looking out the window, the evening sun casts a golden shadow over the snow in the distance.
"I heard that the charter you wrote was beaten back twice by Zhang Yang?"
"Zhang Shilang feels that there are all the omissions in the charter written by Lone, and it requires three thousand pieces of silver, in fact, if you think about it carefully, what he said is right, all the money used in the court is used, and there can be no omissions in such things, and you must be prepared." Li Shimin looked around the East Palace, it was very quiet here, and the furnishings were very simple.
Three or two bookshelves are full of books, and there is a sandbag outside the courtyard, and I have heard people from the East Palace say that the prince will beat sandbags every morning to exercise.
Looking at Li Chengqian's complexion now, three years have passed, and he has been sick less often in a year, and he has not been sick from autumn to winter this year.
picked up a book on the table again, Li Shimin looked at it carefully,
"It's so well written, and it's been beaten back like this?"
Zhang Shilang said that there was a lack of specific processes and follow-up arrangements. Hearing the prince say this, Li Shimin suddenly laughed again, it was really not easy to get the silver money from that kid.
Even if he wants to give the silver money to Li Jisuo's army in Mobei, this kid has to pick and search, and I don't know where he squeezed out the money.
Zhang Yang is in charge of the use of silver money, and the emperor also needs to understand the situation of silver money in the court. With such a grim situation, it is also difficult for him to preside over it alone.
It is not easy for him to arrange the front and back appropriately, the money and salary can be distributed as soon as possible, and he is still looking for ways to open up sources and reduce expenditure.
Li Shimin said in a low voice: "This child has been frugal since he was a child, even if he has such a large family business, it is very rare to be able to maintain this frugality. ”
"Cheng Qian, I often say don't usually go to study with Zhang Yang, he has a lot of bad habits as a child, but you should still learn from him when you are thrifty."
"Son, remember." Speaking of going to the East Palace this time, I also want to know if Zhang Yang is deliberately embarrassing Chengqian, and now it seems that Chengqian is working very hard for the sake of future official learning strategies.
Zhang Yang is burdened with the money and salary of the entire court, and he also has unspeakable secrets. Thinking about it this way, Li Shimin found that it was not easy to blame both sides.
The merchant of the big food, Aroben, was arranged by Xu Jingzong to enter and leave the post house freely, but all actions would be watched by the people of the Foreign Academy.
This feeling is very uncomfortable, looking down from the second floor of the post house, Xu Jing Zongzheng and the Persian prince Belus are talking and laughing and drinking wine.
The night in Chang'an City was quiet, Zhang Yang looked at the accounts in front of him, and there was a letter, which was sent by the envoy of the Foreign Affairs Yuan sent to the Uighurs, and persuaded the Uighur khan to return the Uighur khan five times, but the other party repeatedly refused.
General Li Ji was ready to continue the northern expedition, and after having a compass, it was very convenient for the army to march, even if the army went farther, it could find its way home.
It's like sailing on the sea, as long as you have a compass in your hand to clear the direction, even if you go to the distant sea, you won't be confused if you have a direction in your heart.
Zhang Yang looked at the account book,
"Of course General Li Ji will not lend Xue Yantuo soldiers and horses, not to mention that this helped Xue Yantuo's Yinan Khan to restore the throne, and the cost has not been recovered." Hearing the sound of the courtyard door being opened, Zhang Yang looked sideways and saw that Aunt Wang was back.
She took out a piece of music,
"This was sent by someone from the Foreign Affairs Academy." Zhang Yang took the chapter and looked at it carefully, and the people sent to Mobei had roughly figured out where Xue Yantuo's several conspicuous minerals were located.
The first to bear the brunt are iron ore and copper ore. Zhang Yang wrote the next arrangement, if Xue Yantuo could not pay enough costs for Datang, he would need to use copper and iron to pay off the debt, and let their people cast copper and iron to repay the cost of Datang's expedition.
And the proceeds of Xue Yantuo's expedition can also be used to pay for the cost of Datang's expedition, totaling 100,000 yuan. Utensils such as jade are not accepted.
Moreover, Datang can provide low-cost grain and grass, and now the grain and grass sealed in various parts of Guanzhong are still being sent to Chang'an City.
At that time, these grains and grasses will be transported to the Hexi Corridor and used to be sold outside the Guan. There is no shortage of food in Guanzhong, but there is a shortage of food in the north.
The door of the bathroom at home opened, and Li Yue came out in thick pajamas, still holding her daughter in her arms, and had just washed the child.
Putting the child on the cradle, while wiping his hair, he saw his husband writing a pen, and looked at it curiously.
"Is this a strategy against Xue Yantuo?" Zhang Yang nodded,
"A strategy against the Uighurs, to be precise." After taking a closer look, Li Yue said again: "This strategy of the husband looks like a strategy to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, but Xue Yantuo is not a tiger, can he take the Uighurs?" "The daughter-in-law also found the crux of the problem, after two years of drastic changes, how many troops does Xue Yantuo have left?
General Li Ji with 50,000 soldiers and horses has swept Mobei. Zhang Yang put down the pen in his hand and picked up another file.
"It doesn't matter if you win or lose the war, the important thing is that once they fight, we can sell grain, and now Persia, the Western Turks, the Yinli River, and Mobei are not at peace, and it is a good opportunity for us to sell grain." Li Yue was faintly worried in his heart, his husband was an official in Shangshu Province, and the court needed all kinds of uses, which made Lishan's pressure more and more intense.
Fortunately, through some technological means to improve productivity, this can barely cope. Of course, it's a good thing to have a foothold in your home.
In these years, under the game between his husband and his father, Lishan has been fighting for his status and growing his strength.
After having Tulei, I can feel a lot more at ease, and now I have the capital to negotiate terms with my father. It's been six years in the blink of an eye, and I've been accumulating strength for the past six years.
Zhang Yang picked up another volume of music,
"Huh? It was sent by Dicterson. Li Yue walked back to the room, tidied up the bedding on the bed, and then packed up one or two pieces of clothes.
Di Zhixon had already arrived in the Hexi Corridor and was arranging for mutual markets, and as the north became colder and colder, more and more merchants from the Western Regions came from the north.
With the stabilization of the Silk Road, a boom in trade began to take shape. He expressed concern about the construction of the Hexi Corridor Pass, where the wind and sand would erode the city walls.
The wind-blown sand in the northwest is indeed a headache, and the wind-blown sand on the Loess Plateau is not as serious as that in later generations.
Dicterson's apprehension was rather far-sighted. Zhang Yang wrote down the idea of afforestation, that is, from now on Jiayuguan as a starting point, to the northwest to start planting trees, to the west of the Hexi corridor to build a huge sand control forest, if from now on to plant trees, the northwest will be a different scene in the future.
The best tree for sand control is Populus euphratica, which is a very strong tree that can tolerate drought and protect against cold.
In addition, you can plant some sand dates, which can also play a role in sand fixation. I wrote a ten-year plan to build a sand-proof forest, and before I knew it, it was already late at night.
Li Yue sat on the bed and read the books in her hand, and saw her husband go back to the room and whispered: "The official position is getting higher and higher, and my husband is busy until late at night." Bringing a change of clothes, Zhang Yang pillowed on her lap after washing and did not speak.
Li Yue pressed his temples, and every time he saw a tired look in his husband's eyes, he needed to press it like this for a while.
