Chapter 543: Buy a Few More Small Countries

Zhang Yang looked at it carefully, and made a mistake: "This aloe vera is good, it can be used to relieve scabies, and it can also detoxify and relieve pain."

Wang Gonggong moved out the pot of aloe vera that Zhang Yang was referring to.

"This crop likes warmth and cold, and is prone to leaf blight, and this aloe vera has died except for the roots, so it is probably difficult to raise."

Hearing Zhang Yang say this, Li Shimin is still very satisfied with the results of this collection, at least useful.

"So I've got a good thing, but what about the other crops?"

"Your Majesty can keep it first." Zhang Yang muttered in his heart, these are all dry branches, how to see clearly.

With the beginning of cabbage, Li Shimin has found a new direction for social crops and boosted the diversity of crops.

After a while, the palace maid brought a meal, a plate of bacon, a salted duck egg, and a bowl of millet rice.

"My food is simple." Li Shimin was eating with salted duck eggs.

To be a brother-in-law, you have to help the poor for such a big family as the royal family, right?

Besides, His Majesty is still an emperor who spends so much.

Zhang Yang bowed and said, "Your Majesty, it is indeed difficult for the court, is the minister ......?"

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "Take him to the Wude Hall to see, and let him take away anything that can be used."

"Why?"

The prince bowed and saluted, "Zhang Shilang came with the old slave."

Walking out of the Xingqing Palace, Zhang Yang said curiously: "Old Wang, seeing that you look much better now, is the medicine given by Lishan still suitable?"

"Zhang Shilang smiled, those old slaves of medicinal herbs are stored and useless."

"Really?"

Zhang Yang smiled awkwardly, "I thought you used it."

Xingqing Hall is not far from the Wude Palace, passing by from the Taiji Palace, and then walking a section after the detour is the Wude Palace.

At this moment, the door of the Wude Hall is still closed, and Li Yuan is retiring in Lishan, so it is idle.

When the prince opened the lock and pushed the door in, Zhang Yang stepped in, and the hall was very dim.

Light the oil lamps here to brighten up the hall.

Zhang Yang rummaged through the miscellaneous items and took down a few unused brushes and inkstones from the bookshelf......

"How did Zhang Shilang get these things here?"

"I've been to the Wude Hall a few times before, and I've written it down when I see it." Zhang Yang cleaned up again.

The prince stood aside with a surprised expression, relieved at the thought that His Majesty had promised.

Walked to a side house in the Wude Palace, where Emperor Li Yuan used to rest.

It's very well packed and the bedding has been taken away.

Zhang Yang found the five stoves placed in the corner of the wall and lifted them out.

The prince said worriedly, "If the Emperor Taishang comes back and finds that the Wude Hall has been emptied, I am afraid that he will lose his temper again."

"It's okay, just say that you support the court, and his old man will understand."

After sorting out the things here, six pens, fifteen inkstones, and five stoves.

Barely able to cope with the moment.

Zhang Yang took people to send these things to the secretary and the Zhongshu Province, and there were still many scribes in the secretary province who were copying the chapters.

The weather is so cold that I can't hold a pen in my hand, and I can't wait to come here to work in a futon in order to keep out the cold.

The living conditions are not good, and the office conditions are also poor.

Two more furnaces were sent to Zhongshu Province, which was not enough.

When passing by the Ganlu Palace, Zhang Yang stopped and looked ahead.

The prince hurriedly said, "Zhang Shilang, Your Majesty didn't answer this thing in the Ganlu Palace."

Zhang Yang carefully recalled the situation in the Ganlu Palace, and had no choice but to give up when he heard the words, "Lao Wang, you don't have to look at me with a thief, and I won't loot the Ganlu Palace."

The prince smiled bitterly and said, "Zhang Shilang still don't worry about the Ganlu Palace."

"I know, I won't touch the contents of the Manna Temple."

As he spoke, he saw that Zhang Yang was about to go straight to nectar

When the palace walked, the prince hurriedly stepped forward to stop, "Zhang Shilang, Zhongshu Province is in that direction."

"Whew...... I was distracted for a while."

Seeing that he still looked into the hall, the prince stood firmly in front of the hall and put on a posture of guarding the manna hall.

If you want to enter the temple, you must step over the corpse.

Zhang Yang turned around and walked in the direction of Chengtianmen, where the water on the road in the palace was covered with thin ice, it was the cold and the ground was freezing, the coldest winter.

When you walk on the stone brick road in the palace, you have to be careful not to slip on the ice on the road.

There was a sigh in the cold air, white mist came out of his mouth, and the office conditions in Zhongshu Province were also difficult.

Three or two stoves were not enough to keep warm, so everyone held a pen and wrote a chapter, and from time to time they had to stop and rub their hands, and when their hands were warmer, they would start to write.

There are even quite a few sounds of blowing noses.

Wang Gonggong led someone to put the stove into Zhongshu Province, and Zhang Yang followed him back to Xingqing Palace.

Li Shimin was still looking at these potted plants, and when he saw that the people were back, he said, "It's all arranged?"

The prince looked back at Zhang Shilang, "Back to Your Majesty, the stove and pen and ink in the Wude Hall have been divided."

"Hmm."

The Emperor nodded, his eyes still on the withered crops, and it would be until they were rejuvenated, at least until the warm spring.

And some of the crops have even died, and they are still watching with pleasure.

It was not good to disturb the emperor's Yaxing, Zhang Yang arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, to solve the urgent needs of the court, Lishan can cooperate."

"Elaborate."

Li Shimin said loudly.

Zhang Yang saluted again and said, "Lishan can make a stove for the officials of various ministries, but the court needs to pay money."

"How do you want it to be arranged?"

"Of course, it's better to be more affordable." Zhang Yang looked outside the hall for a day, "The winter season has not yet passed, Lishan can make many stoves to solve the current dilemma, the silver money for making the stove needs to be paid by the court, and Lishan can also take out some of it himself."

"At the beginning, I promised you that the money in Shangshu Province would be arranged by you."

After a slight salute to Li Shimin, Zhang Yang said, "However, the court wants to take out the charcoal fire by itself, and the coal that will be transported from Xue Yantuo in the future, Lishan can buy it from the court at a lower price than the market price, what does Your Majesty think?"

Speaking of buying from the DPRK and making a deal with Lishan, Li Shimin's originally troubled expression came to his senses, "I will let Zhao Guogong discuss the matter of buying coal with you in detail."

Zhang Yang walked out of the Xingqing Hall with a slight salute.

Still can't think of the emperor too generously, he will let the eldest grandson Wuji to preside over the transaction with Lishan also shows that the emperor is guarded.

It is okay with Zheng Gong and Fang Xuanling.

It's the old fox Zhao Guogong.

This is the emperor, while using his courtiers, he also has to take into account the checks and balances in the court.

The emperor will not trust his courtiers 100%, and his words are lightly written, but in fact, he has more or less hidden other thoughts.

Zhang Yang walked on the way home and sighed, "Heavenly Khan! You keep saying that you will hand over the use of the DPRK to me, and it sounds good that you are not secretly looking for someone to stare at, and you are looking for someone to check and balance."

Do your best to do things for the court, but also face the emperor's arrangement.

It was noon when Zhang Yang went to Dongshi to buy some vegetables.

Li Yue is doing the math at home, and since she learned some derivative-related operations, she is now solving a math problem on the scriptures.

Zhang Yang glanced at the question, which was related to function operation.

Li Yue was still writing and quietly writing the equation.

Xiao Wu glanced at the dense calculations written on the paper, and ran back to the house in fright.

Xu Hui was combing the bear's hair, and if she didn't take care of it for three or two days, it would be easy to knot together, and when she saw her senior sister's heart, she was curious, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Wu first poured a sip of cold water into his mouth, "I just saw the teacher write the arithmetic."

"Old

It's been a long time since Shi solved the problem, so maybe he has nothing to do."

"Senior sister, if you see that equation, you will know how scary it is." Xiao Wu said in a low voice, "At a glance, the teacher's equation has a lot of root numbers."

The two girls followed Li Yue to learn mathematics, and those mathematics problems were different from the arithmetic methods in the outside world.

The teacher's arithmetic focuses more on formulas, and now the two are just beginning to learn the root number.

Only after learning it knows how torturous the root number is in the operation, and the amount of calculation is so large that the two sisters almost consumed all their brain cells.

Xu Hui also quietly poked her head out of the room to look at the equation on the teacher's paper, and quickly withdrew her eyes, "Sure enough, there are a lot."

"Eun!" Xiao Wu clenched his hands into fists, "Later...... Teachers won't teach us that, will they?"

The two girls didn't dare to think much about that kind of situation.

The husband prepared the meal and served it on the table, and Li Yue also solved the question, "Hmm! I haven't solved the problem for a long time, and I'm struggling."

"This kind of function operation requires a lot of root numbers, and it is very good to practice your own problem-solving ideas."

Li Yue relaxed his hands and squinted his eyes with a satisfied expression, "It's much more comfortable, and I feel that my thoughts are much clearer."

[The app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, which is used by old bookworms.]

The fence in the courtyard can block the cold wind blowing from the northwest, just to keep the whole courtyard warm, unlike the biting cold wind in the palace, which makes people shiver.

The yard is small but also warm.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Yang said in a low voice: "When we bought Gaochang, we mastered the supply of cotton."

"My husband is right, cotton is one of the few things we have mastered, and this is where we can control it and don't have to be controlled by others."

After calculating the money in the family, the gold and silver sent today can be used to buy land.

Zhang Yang said: "When we bought Gaochang, we will continue to buy land."

"Where do you want to buy land?"

"There are a few small countries around us that are still good and can be considered."

The sale of land in Guanzhong is very strict, and the government will arrest the government for selling land privately.

Even if you really want to buy it, it will be at most a mountain, or a few acres of land.

His own family is different, his husband's appetite has always been great, and he wants to buy a few small countries around him.

At that time, I bought Gaochang at the smallest price in exchange for the greatest benefit.

It also gave his own family enough capital to gain a foothold.

watched the husband draw a circle in each of the four directions.

Li Yue frowned and said, "Why Nanzhao?"

"There are copper mines in Nanzhao."

"And what does Persia have?"

"Persia is a corridor from the Tang Dynasty to the West, and it is also a pass to the West, the Central Plains will master the barrier against the West if it masters the Great Snow Mountain, and if it masters Persia, it can master the Western Turks and open the road to the West, which is where the initiative to attack the West lies."

Li Yue has also read some military books, and she also understands some geographical points in military books, "If we master Goguryeo, we will have absolute control over the East China Sea, and if we master Persia, we can go out of the Tianshan Mountains and attack the west directly."

As she spoke, she sorted out her husband's drawings and saw a very strange drawing, "What is this?"

"How does the swimsuit I designed for you look like?"

Thinking of the pajamas before...... Li Yueqiao's face flushed, and she immediately put away this drawing, "Is my husband painting such unsightly clothes every night?"
