Zhang Yang said melancholy: "If the scholars in the world really owe a favor to the next person, and the day when the head falls to the ground is not far away, if you continue to work with Brother Wen in the court, I am afraid that you will not live long, and the lower official will retire as soon as possible and strive to live for a few more years." Cen Wenwen was speechless for a while, and he saluted in the direction of the Taiji Palace,

"Zhang Shilang, Your Majesty is benevolent and virtuous, how can you treat heroes like this?"

"Yes, he is sage, he is high!" Zhang Yang sighed: "He wants me to make meritorious contributions, and he wants me to be loyal." No matter how you say it, it is an important minister in the court, and it is not good for the emperor to be like this, Li Chengqian cleared his throat,

"I heard that the big food was rude to Zhang Shilang before? Is there such a thing? ”

"Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince talking about that big food merchant?"

"I heard that he went to see you, and the conversation was very unpleasant."

"This person wants to be blackmailed, saying that if the Tang Dynasty dares to rush to the aid of Persia, the Great Food will send troops to the east to attack the Tang Dynasty." Zhang Yang waved his sleeves and said: "My Tang Dynasty hero is like a cloud, how can I be afraid of him?" If it weren't for the long distance, if it weren't for the fact that the whip was too long now, he would have to be killed. Li Chengqian nodded and said: "Our Tang Dynasty boy should be like this, why be afraid of him cannibalism." Cen Wenwen was curious: "The Great Eater is strong and strong, and has taken a large territory west of Persia, so he has to be cautious. Zhang Yang listened to the discussion between the prince and Cen Wenwen, and saw that these craftsmen were re-laying the floor tiles, turning up the old ground and recompacting it.

Three or two more craftsmen pulled down the wall, and the whole old house collapsed and raised a cloud of dust. Zhang Yang waved his sleeves to disperse the dust in front of him.

The prince and Cen Wenwen were chatting about the big food and were in full swing. After a while, the sky began to snow again, and the process of demolishing the house by these craftsmen was very rough, almost without considering the damage of the building materials, in fact, some old bricks and tiles can also be used, which is suitable for building exterior walls or laying floors.

Zhang Yang frowned, looking at some broken tiles scattered on the ground like this, he was very distressed.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the court is already so nervous, can't you save some?" When Li Chengqian heard this, he hadn't recovered from the previous topic of cannibalism.

Zhang Yang pointed to the broken tiles on the ground, as well as the broken masonry,

"These can be reused, even if they can't be used to build houses, they can be built with walls and paved roads." A group of craftsmen did not pay any attention to these words, and began to prepare to tear down another wall.

This is all the silver money approved by Shangshu Province, and it is a penny that can be saved. Li Chengqian stepped forward quickly,

"Is there something wrong?" Zhang Yang arched his hand and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Brother Wen, since this is the silver money approved by the lower official, can the lower official say a few more words." "The fact that the official school can open Zhang Yang this time is the first contribution, not only the ways and means of the official school, but also the money that he approved.

Li Chengqian is well aware of his previous shortcomings.

"Naturally, you can dismiss these craftsmen if you want." When the prince's words fell, a group of craftsmen immediately stopped their movements, bowed down and said, "His Royal Highness the prince, we are all doing things according to orders." "Zhang Yang took down his hat,

"Brother Wen, I'll take a step first, seeing this kind of scene is heartbroken, every time a tile is broken and a brick is broken, it makes the originally not rich court even worse." Cen Wenwen understood the meaning, and stepped forward and instructed: "Don't demolish the house like this, remove the tiles and masonry as completely as possible, these can still be reused." ”

"Whoa!" This time, the craftsmen were more careful, first removing all the roof tiles and then removing the beams.

Zhang Yang nodded with relief,

"If the DPRK and China can be so frugal in these things, they can save a lot of money, six bricks and stones are two dollars, and such a room has 300 bricks and stones and more than 60 tiles, and if it can be reused, it will save nearly 100 dollars."

"Please also ask Brother Wen not to be troublesome, to develop this habit of frugality, now the burden on the court is very heavy, and it is not enough to squander, please be frugal in everything, we will use all the silver money on the blade." Cen Wenwen nodded,

"Zhang Shangshu is right, the lower officials must pay attention." He took his hat again, looked at the broken bricks and tiles all over the ground, felt distressed, and quickly left this sad place.

Li Chengqian is still standing in place,

"This Zhang Yang is really ......"

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the lower officials think that Zhang Shilang already has this family business, and he can still maintain frugality everywhere, which is a good habit worthy of my imitation." Li Chengqian smiled bitterly,

"Previously, the queen mother wanted to choose palace maids to be maids for their husbands and wives, but this was rejected by him, he said that he was used to doing it himself and did not like others to serve." Cen Wenwen nodded slightly,

"Although Zhang Shilang is bad, there are also merits."

"It's just that this person sometimes ......" Li Chengqian kept silent, and finally shook his head and sighed,

"That's it, most of his temperament can't be changed." Zhang Yang was a frugal person, and since he took over Shangshu Province, the accounts of the court and the central government were clear and organized, and the money that should be given would never be delayed.

This gave the people in the DPRK and China a lot of confidence. On the other side of Chang'an City, Xu Jingzong was still pestering Wang Xuance, thinking that even if he couldn't be recruited into the Foreign Affairs Academy, he would be friends with him.

For this reason, Xu Jingzong often invited him to eat and drink. And this person is very happy to eat and drink for nothing. The two talked a lot, and often ate and drank together, and the relationship naturally improved.

Xu Jingzong often talked about the benefits of the Foreign Affairs Academy, and Wang Xuance always listened without giving some promises.

Leaving the wine shop to bid farewell to Wang Xuance, Xu Jingzong was so distressed that he stomped his feet,

"Why did you take a fancy to such a person, you don't eat oil and salt, you don't talk about it!" This kind of thing is very embarrassing, and I can only hope that this long-term sincerity can one day impress him.

If it is really impossible to solicit, then I will tell Zhang Shangshu directly. This kind of heavy snow day can not be used to build a new home, and the mortar inside the wall carries moisture, and once it freezes, it will cause the wall to collapse.

Zhang Yang sat in his yard, looking at the heavy snow,

"It seems that the construction will only start again in the spring of next year." The bear loves snowy days, and his coat is shinier in winter.

Xiao Wu and Xu Hui finally built the little snowman, but it was broken and destroyed under its claws.

Even Xu Hui, who is usually quiet, pointed at Xiao Xiong and scolded a few words. The bear listened to the lesson and rolled in the snow, which became even more energetic.

Li Yue brought it a whole scallion oil chicken and mixed it with some soup and rice.

"It's getting more and more edible." It can be naughty in front of Xiao Wu and Xu Hui, and it is very obedient in front of the hostess.

The mistress told it to go east, but it did not dare to go west. Summoning comes and goes. At the moment it devoured its food, allowing its hostess to caress its own hair without the slightest resistance.

This bear is also four years old, and it is the most critical stage of growing into an adult bear, at this stage it eats a lot and grows quickly.

A very pure Northeast brown bear is also a very fierce beast. The adult period of the brown bear is about five to six years, and when it is fully grown upright, it can be compared to an adult man, with a huge body, and a height of nearly two meters when standing up, which is still a great deterrent.

When it finished eating, Zhang Yang took out a ribbon, and the size of the ribbon was marked, which was a good helper for his daughter-in-law to make clothes.

Measured its length, pinched his fingers on the size, picked up the ribbon again and looked at it,

"5 five-foot-one, huh! Looks pretty good. Xu Hui whispered: "It's much bigger than last year." Xiao Wu was curious: "Then how big will it grow?" Xu Hui responded: "Senior sister, I read in the classics when I was a child, there is this kind of bear in Liaodong, once the hunter encounters it, it will die for a lifetime, and ordinary bows and arrows can only hurt its fur. "This bear has been tamed by Master and Teacher, and if you encounter a wild bear, you will die.

Someone came to the palace, and the aunt went out to greet her and bring her will. Li Yue stretched out his hand to take the yellow silk and looked at the contents,

"My father said that since we want to open the mountain gate, we must have the location of the mountain gate, and we must also have a name."

"Why did your father suddenly send such a will?"

"Maybe my father thinks it's a little inappropriate for us to teach children like this." Li Yue hesitated,

"Trouble my aunt to go to Lishan and let Qingque build a door, no need to build a homestead, just build a door."

"That's going to be arranged." Li Yue wrote a few words on the yellow silk,

"Lishan Physics." Zhang Yang glanced at it curiously,

"We are good at math, but physics is our weakest point now." Li Yue rewrote a mountain gate name,

"Lishan scientist!" I used to tell my daughter-in-law that scientists are one of the hundred schools of thought. That's just for the sake of explanation.

But now look at the name of Lishan scientist, how awkward it looks. Zhang Yang took the pen and wrote three words on the inkstone,

"Scientology!"

"This one is not as good as the previous scientists."

"I think that's all there is to it."

"Daughter-in-law, don't you feel awkward?"

"How did it become twisted, there were soldiers, Mohists, and Zongheng families in ancient times, why can't there be scientists?" The husband and wife were in a stalemate for a while, and finally chose each one to call each other, and wrote a long list of alternative names on the yellow silk, and asked the palace people to take it back and hand it over to their father.

Li Shimin was drinking tea and sitting in front of the Xuanwu Gate, looking like he was paying tribute or reminiscing about the past.

His Majesty would come here every year to sit and sit for a long time without saying a word, just looking at the Xuanwu Gate. The prince hurried over with a yellow silk,

"Your Majesty, the reply from the county marquis and the princess." Li Shimin opened the yellow scroll, and his eyes were densely packed with names, one after another...... There are thirty of them.

"Is there so many names in this Lishan Mountain?" The prince laughed dryly,

"The old slave doesn't know." Li Shimin put it aside and asked again, "How is the book printing in Lishan?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, there are more than 2,000 books, most of which are written and interpreted."

"Bring my message to Lishan, the opening of the official school will be carried out in the next year, and 10,000 books must be printed at that time."

"Whoa." Li Shimin drank tea and continued to look at the Xuanwu Gate in front of him. Xuanwu Gate guard Li Junxian came quickly, and he bowed down and reported: "Your Majesty, recently General Li Daliang, General Niu and General Cheng are arresting scholars. Looking at Xuanwu Gate and being silent for a long time, the Tang Emperor finally turned around and stopped looking at Xuanwu Gate and walked back.

"Why did they arrest the scholars?"

"It was found out that the three generals wanted Shangshu Province to approve the money for them and let the literati write a good strategy for them, so that they would do this."

"What happened to those readers?"

"It was said that the people were arrested and brought into the house, and they were asked to write a strategy for governing the army, and if they couldn't write it, they wouldn't be embarrassed, and let the people go."

"On weekdays, I let them read more, but at this time, they can't even write a strategy for governing the military, what a bastard." Because of the imperial examination in the coming year, there are now many literati and artists in Chang'an City, and this kind of scene is certainly good, but Cheng Biting Jin's actions are very beautiful.

The emperor also hoped that these fierce generals would be able to read more and the literati would be able to strengthen their physique. But the old generals are all old, and it is too difficult for them to learn to chew words again at the age of forty, and to read and write strategies.

The literati in the court and China are busy with political affairs, and the busyness of Zhongshu Province has not stopped from autumn to the present.

Don't expect these scholars to occasionally go to the field to ride and shoot and exercise their physique. Approaching the end of the year, the families of the clan sent congratulatory gifts one after another, and the eldest grandson queen also had to check the gifts sent by each family.

Then arrange for someone to send some gifts in return. The clan side also relies on the queen to maintain it, and without this wife, Li Shimin doesn't know how to deal with the affairs between the clan.

"Today, I want Yue'er and them to give them the name of Lishan Mountain Gate."

"Really? How did this couple reply to His Majesty. Li Shimin chuckled and said: "This couple has written dozens of names for me, which is incredible. Empress Eldest Sun looked at the yellow silk handed by His Majesty and carefully observed the handwriting on it,

"Your Majesty, please see, there is Li Yue's handwriting on it, and Zhang Yang's handwriting on it, and the handwriting in the future will be a little more anxious, most of the husband and wife have a dispute over the name of the mountain gate, and no one is convinced that this will be the case." Li Shimin fixed his eyes and looked at it,

"It's really ......"

"Yue'er's knowledge comes from Zhang Yang, but it is Yue'er's idea to teach the apprentice to set up a mountain gate, Your Majesty's request will definitely make their family embarrassed."

"I thought they were so harmonious as husband and wife, but I didn't expect there to be times of disputes." Empress Eldest Sun patiently cleaned up the palace,

"In previous years, on Chinese New Year's Eve, I could still see the auspicious rui in the night sky, but I didn't see it last year, and the children were worried about it, and I don't know if it will be this year." Speaking of this auspicious rui, according to Li Junxian's investigation, it must be artificial.

He suspected that Lishan had been in the direction of Lishan on a previous occasion, but there was no conclusive evidence.

And saltpeter is too common in Guanzhong. has been secretly investigating, and even the queen is hiding such things, Li Shimin naturally wants to find out who is doing it, and he also wants to know the other party's intentions.

As long as you dare to create that night sky auspicious, you must catch it. The wind outside the house began to get stronger, and freezing rain fell from the sky, and the ice particles hurt on the face.

Li Lizhen also hurried back with her younger brothers and sisters.

"Father, has the sluice gate of the Jing River been repaired?" As soon as Li Zhi entered the palace, he asked anxiously, realizing that he was a little rude, and he bowed down under the gaze of his father,

"Erchen is rude."
