Seeing that the emperor turned a blind eye to his gaze, and obviously knew where the money went, Zhang Yang withdrew his gaze and continued to make a wood carving.

The eldest grandson Wuji replied: "Since it is a merchant's scam, those clansmen of the children of the family say that they have been deceived, and the identity of the other party is the son of the clan, the minister thinks that he should also ask Zongzheng Temple." ”

Let's talk about what this emperor's eyes always look at me.

Zhang Yang glanced at Cen Wenwen on his side, leaned back slightly, and simply moved two steps to change positions with him.

Cen Wenwen was shocked at first, and then continued to listen to everyone's deliberations.

The matter has been characterized as a businessman's scam, it is a businessman's fraud, naturally it has nothing to do with the DPRK and China, everyone can put the involvement straight, as for how to arrange the matter in the future, continue to investigate.

As for what can be found, let's take a look at the ability of this Dali Siqing first.

Lishan is the culprit, and the emperor is also an accomplice, Zhang Yang seems to hear a gloomy voice in his heart saying, the emperor will betray you sooner or later, do you just let him slaughter?

Zhang Yang held his forehead, feeling that he was getting closer and closer to the split personality, and it felt very uncomfortable to be calculated by the emperor all day long.

If you don't retire, I'm afraid you'll have persecution paranoia.

The discussion continued, and Cen Wenwen said: "The countries want to build the Tiankhan Avenue, and I don't know if Zhang Shilang has arranged the post house on the official road. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yang's scalp suddenly tightened from the trance just now, "Brother Wen, you are harming me again." ”

Under the eyes of everyone, Cen Wenwen wanted to speak and stopped, and he had to keep his mouth shut, his expression innocent and a little innocent, "Why did Zhang Shilang say this?" ”

Zhang Yang sighed and said sadly: "Tiankhan Avenue starts from the Tianshan Mountains all the way to Hanhai in Mobei, many roads lead to Chang'an City, and there are nearly 100 post houses along the way. If the provincial capital of Shangshu goes bankrupt, the court will go bankrupt. ”

Everyone was silent for a while, from Zhang Yang posted the word "no money" at the door of Shangshu Province, but if he wanted to take money, most of them had no good results.

Before Cen Wenwen could reply, Zhang Yang said again: "The countries said that they would build the Heavenly Khan Avenue, then let the countries take the money and build post houses in various places, and we can supervise the progress of the construction, so that it can be regarded as the most economical and safe way, and the focus is to save money." ”

The word saving money entered Li Shimin's heart, governing the country and pacifying the frontiers all require money, and the methods that can save money can naturally be tried.

Zhang Yang said: "On the basis of peaceful coexistence, we can also see the sincerity of the countries to serve the Tang Dynasty, the better and bigger the post house is built, it shows that their sincerity to our Datang is also better." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said in a low voice: "Those old Confucian gentlemen will not approve of your approach, but ......"

After a pause, he added: "If your Foreign Affairs Yuan decides to do this, the DPRK and China will not stop it, and you can only bear the infamy." ”

As far as the DPRK and China are concerned, this method of saving money and trouble is naturally willing.

Everyone is a human spirit, and they will not be wronged, let alone spend money.

The great court meeting of the Taiji Hall has just ended, and now a small meeting is held in the Xingqing Palace.

It is a good thing that the emperor is diligent in his administration and is bent on creating meritorious deeds.

As an employee of the emperor, he could only be forced to fight chicken blood.

Li Shimin patted the table, "This matter will be handed over to the Ministry of Rites, and if you don't handle it well, I will punish you severely." ”

You do the work, and you will take the blame for the trouble.

That's what the emperor meant......

The prince walked quickly, "Your Majesty, Master Yan of the Ministry of Works, is here with a pendulum clock." ”

Li Shimin nodded slightly and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, there is still one thing, Lishan sent a strange object, saying that it can divide the hour into hours. ”

Zheng Gong stood up and said, "The minister wants to see the new objects made by Lishan. ”

Everyone got up and headed for the pendulum clock that was being pushed in the cart.

Cen Wenwen was about to step forward, but he saw that the corner of his clothes was being pulled, he looked back, "Zhang Shilang pulled me to do something." ”

Zhang Yang put one hand on his shoulder, "Brother Wen, I have always regarded you as a friend." ”

Cen Wenwen was surprised: "Why does Zhang Shilang keep saying that the lower officials hurt you?" ”

"Not to mention whether it harms me or not, I asked His Royal Highness the King of Jin to make a thing, and this matter was handed over to the Ministry of Industry, but then why was it impeached and had to be done?"

Cen Wen himself is also the secretary and supervisor of the junior prison, but all the performances must be approved by the secretary and supervisor before they can be assigned to the ministries.

If you want to say which piece of music belongs to whom, the secretary and supervisor know best.

Cen Wenwen explained: "The original piece was sent by the Imperial Historical Observatory, and it was the Imperial Historical Xu Xiaode. ”

"It's him, it's okay."

Zhang Yang stood in place and sighed, this Xu Xiaode is really right about things and people, a little too right about things and not people.

After all, they were officials in the East Palace together, and now they are impeached when they say they are impeached.

Zheng Gong and Fang Xuanling were looking at the clock and whispering, and even began to delve into the relationship between the principle and the hour.

Zhang Yang glanced at the Xingqing Palace, where the daughter-in-law and the queen were coaxing their daughter together, she seemed to have fallen down too much playfully, and was crying at the moment.

After the conference, there will be a small meeting, and when will this day be the end?

When everyone's curiosity about the clock ended, Li Shimin sat back down, "Luoyang's case will continue to be investigated, and inquire about the whereabouts of the defrauded money, Xuan Ling, you and Dali have prepared the charter." ”

"Whoa."

Li Shimin took a deep breath and said, "As for the avenue to be built by the envoys of various countries, what does the Ministry of Rites plan?" ”

Zhang Yang replied: "The minister thinks that the countries can be allowed to repair themselves, and as for how the repairs can be carried out, the countries can supervise each other, and report the misconduct to the Tang Dynasty, and our Foreign Affairs Institute can mediate in line with the concept of peace in the world." ”

Zheng Gong said in a low voice: "In this way, Datang can act as a mediator, and he can do more actions, young people should be enthusiastic and upright, such calculations are not good." ”

"Zheng Gong's words are inappropriate." The eldest grandson Wuji said again: "Although it is just a calculation, but it is also a plan, since the countries visit the Heavenly Khan to take action, not just talk, young people naturally have to be hot-blooded and upright, but there must also be a ravine in their hearts." ”

Zheng Gong is a relatively upright person, and the eldest grandson Wuji's words are somewhat uncomfortable to hear.

Cen Wenwen frowned, as if he was thoughtful and speechless.

Li Shimin patted the table and said, "The Foreign Affairs Yuan will come up with the charter as soon as possible." ”

"Whoa."

The emperor finally stood up, "Shuofang's disaster will continue to be investigated, and the case in Luoyang must be investigated and investigated to the end." ”

Zheng Gong nodded and said, "Huh." ”

A small meeting ended, and everyone left.

At the moment, it is only himself and the emperor who are left on the scene.

The pendulum was set aside, and there was a regular click.

The pendulum that Yan Liben made for His Majesty belonged to the luxury version, and it was even inlaid with some jade, and it was even inlaid with gold edges around it, and the wood was also changed and replaced with better purple wood.

Wax was also applied, and the hands in the clock were replaced with two copper pins.

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I won't betray you." ”

Zhang Yang looked at the modified pendulum and opened the lid at the rear, he didn't make too many improvements to the gear part, but added a lot of bronze to it.

Bronze ware is lighter, more malleable, and durable.

Also to increase the length of time the pendulum runs, he also dropped three sets of falling objects, and when one iron ingot fell, the other began to rise.

The third group gives a balancing effect.

It's cleverly designed, if you don't use such a cumbersome method, and the loss of potential energy conversion is too great.

"Can't you hear what I ask you?"

Zhang Yang replied: "I believe that Your Majesty will not sell me." ”

The Emperor's expression was then smiling, and he smiled, trying to make himself as amiable as possible.

"You are Yue'er's husband and brother-in-law of so many children, I will not harm my relatives."

Zhang Yang stood with his hands in his hands, I don't know why when he heard this, he always felt a chill down his spine, and the wind blowing at the moment was a little stronger, as if someone was crying and someone was shouting injustice.

"The 500,000 guan is not at ease in Lishan." Li Shimin drank tea, "I have already sent someone to clean up the traces left along the way." ”

"Your Majesty."

"You young people are too rough in their work, and the people at the checkpoints along the way have already changed, you can rest assured that no one will mention the matter of Qingque transporting that batch of goods now, and you can't be ten percent sure, and eighty percent can be sure."

"For the sake of insurance, these coins must not enter the palace."

The origin of the silver money is not clear, and it is taboo for this money to enter the palace.

The palace is not as good as Lishan, Lishan can be rich, but the money in the palace must be clear, if others ask, there is such a large amount of silver money sent into the palace, where does the money come from, no one will be suspicious?

Besides, how many people are within the walls of this palace who are the eyeliner of the family gate valve?

Li Shimin understood the stakes, and when he saw that he couldn't get the money, he compromised and said: "Lishan's books can be taken out." ”

"I'll arrange it when I get back."

"It's also time for them to see the wealth of Lishan, and you can hide papermaking and printing for years." Li Shimin said, "Throughout the ages, people who can endure for a while can often achieve great things. ”

Zhang Yang smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty said that I just want to be a rich man." ”

Li Shimin said again: "I will fulfill you." ”

"One more thing." Following in the footsteps of the emperor, Zhang Yang said again: "Your Majesty asked me to leave the court, right?" ”

Li Shimin hugged Xiao Qingqing, "There are so many things in the court, I need you to arrange them." ”

Zhang Yang said again: "Let me resign, this is good for Your Majesty and Datang, I have always felt like I'm going crazy recently." ”

Xiao Qingqing's eyes looked at her father, and then at the person in front of her with a black face who needed to call her grandfather, she pouted and thought for a moment, "Daddy, I want to go home." ”

Li Shimin said again: "Isn't it fun in the palace?" ”

"In the palace, Daddy is unhappy, and Daddy always keeps his head down when he is unhappy."

Xiao Qingqing said it bluntly.

The child stretched out his hand to go to his father's arms, Zhang Yang took her and whispered: "The child's nonsense makes Your Majesty laugh." ”

Li Shimin put his hands on his back and sighed: "Yes, there are so many things in the DPRK and China, how can you be happy." ”

"You can't resign, you still need to preside over the use of the court, during this time, I have allowed you to stay in Lishan to keep an eye on paper production and printing, and more books are needed, and you must also come to the court if I will in the future."

"There's one more thing." Zhang Yang looked at the group of children, "The children can't fall behind in their studies, so set aside ten days a month in the future to come to Lishan to teach the children some knowledge." ”

"These children can't do without you as a brother-in-law, and I promise you."

The emperor is particularly easy to speak, which makes Zhang Yang feel unsure.

Holding his daughter, taking his daughter-in-law, and a group of princesses and princes walked out of the Xingqing Palace, Zhang Yang was suspicious.

After taking the children to the entrance of the village, Li Zhi was curious: "What is my brother-in-law's new home like?" ”

Zhang Yang's eyes looked in the direction of Chang'an City, and confirmed that no soldiers and horses were chasing after him, "You just go and see." ”

Children crowded into the world as they walked up to Lishan.

Until you reach the top of the mountain, walk along the trail for a while, and suddenly open up in front of you, and there are beautiful houses in front of you by the open Huaqing Pond.

Xiao Wu and Xu Hui led Li Lizhen to see and prepared the child's room in Lishan.

Coming out of the palace, they came to this free world again, and at the same time, they were happy, and their eyes were full of curiosity.

"Why did brother-in-law put a big rock here?"

Zhang Yang replied: "I planned to erect a statue of the bear, but then I found that my craftsmanship was not good, so I gave up. ”

"Yan Liben's craftsmanship is very good, let him make statues."

"He is a scholar of the Ministry of Industry, and he is not an ordinary craftsman, how can he be invited."

Li Zhi also realized that something was wrong, scratched his head and smiled innocently.

The child was playing by the Huaqing pool, Zhang Yang looked at his daughter, thought about the arrangement of things after that, and walked into the kitchen.

Aunt Wang was busy, "County marquis, the food is not good yet." ”

Zhang Yang opened the steamer to see that the buns were ripe, so he took two of them, "I'll go to the factory and ask my aunt to take care of the children more." ”

"Whoa."

Eating steamed buns, Zhang Yang walked down the mountain and untied the reins of the three hippos, which always held its head up, even if it usually walked its hooves very elegantly.

Unleashed the rope, it ran into the nearby forest.

This year is a very busy year for Lishan, and the ten years of Zhenguan are also a very important year for Li Shimin.

It is a matter of how well the results have been accumulated over the past few years, and the power of the emperor must be stronger.

Li Yue sat on the edge of Huaqing Pond and had just finished reading the account book in his hand.

"Mother, do these ledgers look good?"

The child just doesn't understand why the mother is able to spend so much time on the accounts, there is a way to be a loving mother and a strict father.

Only the two aunts know that they are loving fathers and strict mothers in Lishan.

Li Yue is very strict with this daughter.

She picked up Xiao Qingqing and whispered, "Do you know what your father's dream is?" ”

Xiao Qingqing shook his head.

Li Yue said again: "You are the lord of the county, and your father single-handedly built the poor Lishan into what it is now, some people say that your father is good at using money, and they all say that long sleeves are good at dancing, and more money is good, in fact, your father is not just looking at the money in front of him, what he wants is the wealth of this world." ”

"Where is the wealth of this world?" Xiao Qingqing asked in a low voice.

"In many, many places, your father has a map that shows where some of the world's major silver mines are located, and your father has a book that says the power that can change the world, which is science, and learning these things is nothing but a reclamation for you."
