Chapter 563: Farewell to the Deceased

The pendulum clock lasted for three hours and then stopped, and the technical difficulties were solved, and the operating time of the pendulum clock was adjusted slowly.

It is nothing more than adjusting the gear ratio to the length of the rope. Zhang Yang handed over the drawings of the pendulum clock to Niu Chuang, and asked him to create a new object such as a pendulum clock with nothing to do.

As the technical leader of Lishan, Niu Chuang is duty-bound, and it is already difficult for his existing technology to keep up with the development of Lishan.

In terms of technical pursuits, he is more eager than anyone else. With a clock, people have a good concept of time and are better able to allocate their time, such as taking a one-hour lunch break and then going to work.

Rather than the concept of a model lake, it is not good to judge the time of day. If it's a cloudy day, you can only judge what time it is based on whether you're hungry or not.

With the concept of time and minute, it is also a great thing for Lishan. The village can also arrange work and rest times according to the time and minute.

When it is better, people can judge how long time passes according to the time when a stick of incense burns, but the speed of burning is related to the quality of the incense.

Even the humidity of the weather or the size of the wind can affect the burning time, and the error is usually very large. The time span of an hour is about two hours.

You don't have to be too careful. Time is always passing, Li Yue returned home and whispered

"When I saw the minute hand move, I felt that another minute of time had passed in this life." Zhang Yang took her hand and returned home,

"There are many minutes in a lifetime." She smiled and took her husband's hand without saying much. In the following days, Zhang Yang focused on building new furniture, polishing the edges and corners of a piece of wood in the yard and wrapping the corners of the table and chair legs with cotton cloth.

Xiao Wu and Xu Hui were helping on the side, because after Xiao Qingqing ran around and hit the corner of the table once, the master decided to wrap the corner of the table with cotton pads.

So that the child will not stumble. The newly made furniture was placed in the house at the foot of the mountain, and after the spring rains this year, it was decided to move into a new home.

One is to ask for a good omen, and the other is to see the new home walk through the water and see the condition of the drainage channels. After wrapping the tables and chairs with cotton pads, Zhang Yang continued to be busy making a bookshelf.

The most important thing in the house is books. The daughter-in-law's books are so many that she needs to build another warehouse to fit them.

When the time comes, they will all move to the library of their new home. Many of the books were brought home from the Chongwen Museum and the Treasury.

Most of them are ancient books, all of which have a certain collection value, and Li Shimin doesn't care about the whereabouts of these books, so he has been staying in Lishan, and he has not returned them without asking in the palace.

In addition to these books, there are many ledgers, and every year there is a thick stack of ledgers. Li Yue and the two aunts sorted out a lot of utensils at home and sent them to their new home in Lishan first.

On this day, Zhang Yang was idle in the village with a group of little milk bears, and the five little milk bears were all led by ropes.

One of them faces east and the other goes west, and the rope is knotted in a short time. Lifting the little brown bears back with one hand, Zhang Yang patiently untied the knotted rope.

Originally, this kind of work was done by Xiao Wu and Xu Hui, but the two of them are not feeling well today, and their daughter-in-law is taking care of them, and the two little girls have grown a lot taller than in the previous two years.

Zhang Yang sat cross-legged on the ground, untying the knotted rope, and finally about to untie it, three or two bears drilled between the ropes, messy again.

It's really troublesome to run five bears by one person. These cubs are not as obedient as ordinary domestic dogs, as they are not in the habit of being boiled and do not follow their owners.

Zhang Yang fiercely twisted the ropes together, so that it became a thick hemp rope, so that the five little milk bears could not run around.

Just drag them along the way. Seeing that Shangguan Yi was talking to a person, the man left after speaking.

"Brother Shangguan, why is your face so difficult?" He sighed, walked back and said, "Why bother with big brother leaving Chang'an City." Zhang Yang scratched his head with the hand holding the rope, and the little milk bears were also lifted into the air.

As the owner's hand was lowered, the soles of the little milk bears finally landed, and the small black eyes looked around, as if frightened, hugging the owner's legs one by one.

They don't feel that the initiator who just hung in the air is the master, and it is the owner who can give them some security and comfort.

"At the beginning, he was also in the army, taking care of his comrades' widows and children, and promised that he would leave Chang'an City when the children became adults and never come back." Zhang Yang explained.

Shangguan Yi sighed,

"Why bother the eldest brother has a wide range of connections, and he is also a good worker, it is a pity to leave like this, he made a lot of silver money with the county marquis, and now he has handed over all these silver coins to others, but he left alone, and said that he was ashamed to take care of the county marquis, and he had no face to say goodbye in person." There is no banquet in the world, and everyone has their own way of living.

"I know where he's going, I'll go meet him."

"Of course it would be better if we could see each other." Zhang Yang took the five little bears back to his home and hurried out of the village.

Li Tai, who was at the entrance of the village, saw his brother-in-law hurrying by, so he asked his guards to end the wrestling game, followed and asked, "What is my brother-in-law going to do?" ”

"Why do you have to go, I'll go somewhere."

"Brother He doesn't necessarily meet his brother-in-law." Li Tai continued all the time: "Brother-in-law, don't you know? People like Brother He are the most unaccustomed to being officials, and since his brother-in-law's official position has become higher and higher, he rarely walks around Lishan. "Why bother to be an idle person, it is difficult for such a person to stay in one place for a long time.

He is not like Ding Xi, who can start a family and settle down. Why bother to be a puppet, if it weren't for the care of his comrades, the family would not stay in Chang'an City and open a store with himself.

Zhang Yang walked to an old store, which was where everyone started to make money. It is also the source of its first pot of gold, and there is no such shop and there is no current Lishan.

Since the business unexpectedly turned yellow, the store has also closed and has been idle ever since. The big iron lock had been opened, and Li Tai whispered: "Is it a thief?" The old door creaked with teeth, and Zhang Yang pushed the door in, and he could see heavy dust floating in the air.

Li Tai frowned and looked inside the store, and saw someone packing up the cooking utensils inside.

"Phew! The thief is gone! The fat man shouted. In response, he was greeted by three flying knives, which stabbed sharply into the wooden door for three points, so frightened that Li Taiden touched his body up and down to confirm that these flying knives did not pierce through his body.

Zhang Yang said loudly: "Brother He, your flying knife is still as powerful as ever. The figure came out of the back kitchen, why bother with a mouthful of beard that could not be seen, and the scattered sideburns and beard covered most of the face.

He used a cloth bag to carry some cooking utensils left over from that year, and stepped forward.

"I'm leaving." After a brief sentence, he walked out the door and looked back and said, "I have done so much for you, and I deserve some cooking utensils." Li Tai was still looking at the three small flying knives, the blades were sharp, and the blades were shiny, obviously not less polished.

"Where are you going?"

"Hahaha!" Why bother said loudly: "Naturally, he walked all over the Central Plains like the bearded guest back then. ”

"Is there a shortage of money to spend?"

"I know you have a lot of money right now." Why take out a gourd, open the wooden stopper and hand it over,

"Take a sip, our friendship back then is still there." Zhang Yang took the gourd, poured a sip of wine, swallowed it, bared his teeth and said: "Good wine, it is the deep wine at the bottom of the koji." ”

"I heard that you haven't drunk since you had a daughter."

"It also depends on who you drink with." Zhang Yang handed him the wine gourd again. Why take a big sip and let out a long sigh of pleasure.

The two of them partnered to open a store together, and they also partnered with Li Yuanchang together, and they did both good and bad things.

Zhang Yang said in a low voice: "Brother He, let's go here and never come back." Why bother to say: "You are an official, I don't want to continue to do things for you, maybe you can hear the prestige of a certain family in the future, maybe a certain family is going to be a little king somewhere, do you think a certain family has such ability?" ”

"Yes, if Brother He wants to live a happy life like a bearded guest, if you can't find a direction, I can show you a place." After thinking for a moment, he continued: "Go to Nanzhao to have a look, there is chaos there at the moment, if Brother He goes, he can pull up a team of soldiers and horses to dominate that small territory." Seeing why he listened carefully, Zhang Yang said again: "That place is south of the sea, there is a lot of food, the land is fertile, and many small tribes have not yet become a climate, so it is a good place for Brother He to show his skills, and it is also a good place to be a faint king." "Why not be a good man who likes to be subservient.

What a man in Guanzhong is like, he is what he is. is heroic, with a ranger spirit, and after he is unrestrained, he can no longer stop him.

Why bother with a little more vigilance in your eyes after listening,

"Sure enough, you officials are calculating people every day, and God doesn't have long eyes......" He poured another sip of wine,

"How did you become a civil official?" Zhang Yang said with a smile: "I will retire in a few years, and I will be an idle person in Lishan from now on." ”

"Hmm." Why bother to cover the gourd with a wooden stopper,

"Okay, I'll go to Nanzhao, help you so that I can live happily for half my life, and when I become the king of Nanzhao, I will have to return to Guanzhong and meet Tian Khan."

"Hahaha!" Why laugh out loud again when you speak,

"At that time, you have to be polite to someone, and a certain family can drink with Tian Khan." Zhang Yang searched for a silver cake from Li Tai's arms, and the silver cake was the size of a palm.

Under the resentful and angry gaze of this fat man, Zhang Yang handed it over to He Bi,

"This piece of silver cake is enough for you to spend, don't be polite to me, we will drink here in the future." Why bother not to be hypocritical, he accepted the silver cake and said: "You send such a piece, and you will be sent a Nanzhao in the future, and the country will be cheaper for you, and you will have a fate in this life, don't die in front of you, and I heard that many people in Chang'an City said that they want to take your dog's life." Zhang Yang smiled stunned,

"Being an official is like this, it's easy to make enemies." Li Tai asked his guards to bring a war horse,

"This is the Dawan horse of the Western Regions, three years old and with a big mouth, it was given by the clan generals when the king performed the crown ceremony, and now it is given to Brother He, and it is not a problem to travel thirty miles day and night." Why hang a bag of cooking utensils on the horse's back, he turned over and said: "If you are used to the food you make, you can't eat anything else, and when a certain family has laid down the Nanzhao, you will come to Lishan in the future and bring the soldiers and horses to meet you in the mountains!" Li Tai said loudly: "Brother He, go slowly!" With a wave of the whip, the Dawan horse raised its front hooves and neighed and galloped away into the distance.

The person just left, Zhang Yang watched him and heard a few sobs. Li Tai reluctantly turned around,

"Could it be that there are still thieves?" Ding Xi was carried out from the back of the house by the guards, he wiped his tears and said aggrievedly: "Brother He is gone......" Li Tai asked: "Why don't you come out to say goodbye." Ding Xi lowered his head,

"Brother He is a martial artist, how can he be free and easy, how can he see such a twisted appearance in the next place, which spoils his mood." Since starting a family, Ding Xi's wife gave birth to two sons and a daughter, and the family's life in Lishan is quite solid.

Li Tai pulled Ding Xi all the way and said,

"Did my brother-in-law teach you the secret recipe for cake flowing?"

"His Royal Highness King Wei laughed." Ding Xi reluctantly explained,

"The county marquis has never taught."

"Then how would you do it?"

"Just get the heat right."

"Teach me!" Li Tai pulled him to the back kitchen. Soon the words begging for mercy came from the back kitchen.

"His Royal Highness King Wei don't embarrass the villain, the experience depends on the habit, teach the villain how to teach." Zhang Yang really couldn't stand this scene and left.

In order to make a pendulum clock, the progress of manufacturing new furniture at home was delayed. In Chang'an City, after Zhang Yang's proposal last time, Li Chengqian planned to ban the Shengguang Temple, which collapsed three years ago, and build a master's house to be used to make another official office for the future teaching cause.

After obtaining the consent of his father, Li Chengqian appointed Yan Liben of the Ministry of Industry to start construction. Why did Shengguang Temple collapse in a thunderstorm is still a hanging eucalyptus, and it is rumored that it was cracked by thunder.

It is said that these monks are misbehaving, and there are many things in Buddhism that are not clear. Li Chengqian also knew that his father had no good impression of the people in Buddhism, so he chose such a place.

As long as this place is rebuilt, there will be no possibility of ups and downs in the future. As for the cause of the collapse, Dai Stomach was not found out back then, Chu Liang was not found out, and the position of Dali Siqing was also changed by three people in the past three years.

Time has passed for so long, and this hanging eucalyptus has become a joke in the streets. Shengguang Temple is the residence of the famous monk Bopo, and the famous monk also ordered Tang Xuanzang to let him go to Tianzhu to obtain Sanskrit scriptures and bring them back to the Tang Dynasty.

In this way, there have been eight years, and in these eight years, I can hear some strange news about Tang Xuanzang in the Western Regions.

The rebuilding of Shengguang Temple in the DPRK and the ban on becoming an official office was immediately opposed by many people in Buddhism.

Although the temple was inspected back then, the court also advocated that many monks should return to the laity and boost the productivity of the Tang Dynasty, but there are still many monks around Chang'an, and if it were not for the reconstruction of Shengguang Temple today, they would continue to hide in a low-key manner.

It is a headache for the monks who eat fasting and recite the Buddha not to give birth, so much so that the court has controlled the expansion of the monks' power several times, and ordered the Guanzhong temple every year to let the young monks return to the laity.
