The matter of Chu Mo has always been a hurdle in Cheng Yanjin's heart, the general always wants to give Chu Mo a good family, and this family can also keep the huge family business of his old Cheng family.

Not to mention whether Kong Yingda's granddaughter really knows how to run a business, at least Cheng Yanjin thinks that Kong Yingda's family that has studied is reliable.

It was a warm and cold March day, and the grass on the land outside Chang'an City grew sparsely, and the scattered patches of grass looked very uncomfortable.

It's like a baked naan with uneven garlic sprinkling on it.

Zhang Yang and Li Tai hurriedly set off from the village entrance of Lishan, passing by the wine shop where Mo was working, and walked another mile to meet Cheng Yanjin, who came with a team of troops.

Once Cheng bites gold, he is unlucky for ten days and half a month.

Meeting this guy, Zhang Yang felt very awkward in his heart, if he could settle the lifelong affairs of silence, he would never want to see this old man again.

"General!" Li Tai smiled and turned over and dismounted, "Is this here to see Silence?" ”

Cheng bit his golden chin and said: "He is not the only baby in the old man's family, and my old Cheng family is still like this without him." ”

"The general is right."

Cheng Yanjin said again: "The old man came out to hunt today with nothing to do. ”

Zhang Yang also turned over and dismounted, looked around and said with a smile: "The general has just passed the cold winter, and the small animals have not yet grown fat, at this time hunting can only hunt some prey that has just come out of winter, and these prey are still very thin, if it is the best season for hunting, it should be the best season after the summer and autumn." ”

"At that time, the prey was also fat, and it was enough for the general to eat happily."

Cheng Yanjin put down the bow in his hand, turned over and dismounted, first saluted Li Tai and said, "After hunting, it is also to relax." ”

Li Tai replied: "If it weren't for the general and us by the Weishui River, the scenery over there is very good." ”

Cheng Yanjin picked up the water bladder and drank it.

Zhang Yang sniffed carefully and smelled the smell of spirits.

"The old man didn't expect that coming out to relax would alarm His Royal Highness King Wei."

Li Tai smiled bitterly, "Lishan is strictly guarded, and the matter involves the great cause of my father's imperial society, so it is bound to be guarded nervously." ”

"Well......" looked around, and he replied: "When did the official road here also be the boundary of Lishan, although the old man has not read any books, nor has he read the county records, but the official road here is not considered the boundary of Lishan, right?" ”

If you want to say that this trip to bite the gold and come out to relax, who will bring so many people.

The drunkard didn't mean to drink, he was going to the tavern to arrest Cheng Chumo, tie him up and take him home?

Li Taicheng bit the gold and walked all the way.

Zhang Yang held his hands and followed aside, "Dare to ask the general, did Kong Yingda promise to marry his granddaughter to Chu Mo?" ”

Cheng Yanjin's face darkened when he heard this, "The old man has told him several times, since my Cheng family is asking for marriage, who dares to go to Chang'an City to say goodbye to his granddaughter again." ”

Thinking about it, Lao Cheng's family is fierce, and the girl he likes in Lao Cheng's family is bound to be known by the elite class in Chang'an City.

The characters that everyone avoids do not dare to provoke.

Each family has its own style, Kong Yingda's old master is a scholarly family, a martial arts family, who wants to be close to the scholarly family, and he is also an old horseman named Cheng Yanjin.

No matter how you look at it, this situation feels very stunning.

was walking, Cheng Biting Jin stopped again.

Li Tai first looked at the wine shop where Chu Mo was, although the distance was still quite far, he could see it clearly as far as his eyes could see.

"General, why don't you leave." Li Tai said nervously.

"What do you do in that liquor store all day?"

Zhang Yang waved his hand and explained: "This is experiencing life. ”

Cheng bit Jin's eyebrows and twitched twice, "That kid whispers in the wine shop all day long just to experience life?" ”

"General, Chu Mo is now a great poet of our Tang Dynasty, and naturally he wants to experience life, and only by experiencing life can he have a better understanding."

Zhang Yang explained while looking into the distance, "Recently, Chu Mo made another poem, the spring breeze is proud, and he saw all the flowers of Chang'an City in one night." ”

Li Tai glanced at his brother-in-law suspiciously, he really made it easy, how could such a good poem be so casual in his brother-in-law's mouth, it was obviously a good poem that had been passed down through the ages.

Cheng bit Jin and pulled his beard under his chin, "Hmm...... The spring breeze is proud, good sentence! Poetry is a good poem, don't fool the old man, if these poems are really made silently, my old Cheng family's ancestral grave is afraid that it will be sanctified. ”

"There are always some inexplicable things in this world, and this is an enlightenment, and it is gratifying to be a general."

Cheng Yanjin looked at his son from a distance and lowered his head for a while.

Li Tai is already ready, if Cheng Yanjin wants to arrest his son at this time, with the guards around him, he can't stop it, and he must prepare the medical hall in Lishan in advance.

If the father and son got into a fight, it is estimated that many people will be injured.

After a while, Cheng Yanjin looked at the bank of the Weishui River again, "The old man just came to see if this kid was alive and well, and he had no other intentions." ”

No matter how you say it, it is also his own son, Cheng Yanjin sighed: "Zhang Yang, you promised the old man at the beginning, you have to take care of him in the future, and you must also take care of my old Cheng family's family business." ”

"Don't worry, general, it's just a matter of marriage......"

"The old man will meet Kong Yingda again another day."

"Do you firmly believe that Old Master Kong Yingda will agree to this marriage? In fact, the female housekeeper of the restaurant is also suitable for silence, and she can also take care of the family business of the old Cheng family. ”

Cheng Yanjin glared back, "You kid knows a lot, this is for the prosperity of my Cheng family." ”

As he spoke, Cheng Yanjin turned over on his horse again, pulled the reins and turned his head to prepare to go to Chang'an City.

Li Tai said curiously: "Didn't the general go to Weishui to see the scenery?" ”

Cheng Biting Jin Lang said: "Look at the scenery, a desolation is very good." ”

After speaking, he let out a loud shout, and rode his horse in the direction of Chang'an City.

Li Tai sent a farewell salute.

A cold wind blew, leaving the two of them and a few guards standing in place for a long time.

Seeing his brother-in-law walking towards the tavern, Li Tai also followed, "The general seems to be very preoccupied. ”

Now Cheng Yanjin's family, including many founding generals in Chang'an City, have doubts, that is, whether they can keep their family business.

If it is peaceful today, it is not the same as it was back then.

If you have a family business, you naturally want to survive.

The two came to the front of the tavern and watched Cheng Chu silently and diligently carry the wine jar.

As soon as he put down the wine jar, he also noticed his gaze and stepped forward with a smile, "Why are you two here?" ”

Zhang Yang waved his hands and said, "The general came to see you just now." ”

Cheng Chu looked around silently, "What about the old merchant?"

"It's gone."

"Why don't you come to see me?"

Li Tai put his arm on Chu Mo's shoulder, "That's because the general thinks you're doing well in the wine shop and can't bear to disturb you." ”

Cheng Chu's eyes were disgusted when he heard this, "I'm afraid he didn't come to arrest so-and-so." ”

Zhang Yang sighed: "Originally, that posture was indeed here to arrest you, and King Wei and I stopped it first, but you have to understand that this kind of thing can't hide from the first fifteen." ”

Cheng Chumo squatted down and looked a little more firm, "I naturally understand." ”

There are many customers in the liquor store, and most of them are merchants who come to Lishan to buy goods.

There has always been no shortage of businessmen coming and going to Lishan.

When they bought soap or cloth, they would take it to other places to sell, some to Tongguan, and further afield to Luoyang, Fanyang, and Taiyuan.

There is only one wine shop on the official road from Chang'an City to Lishan, and there is no tension in business, and the natural passenger flow is good.

This is better than opening a store in Chang'an.

There used to be a braised pork shop not far away, but the business was already yellow.

Although the business is yellow, the reputation of braised pork has spread.

Li Tai said in a low voice: "The girl of the restaurant has been following you for so long, and you have kept your identity a secret, if you don't marry her, how will it end." ”

Sometimes a man like Cheng Chumo is quite decisive.

But in the face of feelings, he is an idiot.

Seeing his expectant gaze, Zhang Yang held his forehead painfully, "I want to find a way." ”

Cheng Chumo retracted his gaze again, "Zhang Yang, you are a brother who has died in a certain family. ”

Zhang Yang nodded, "I know." ”

"I don't want to implicate you."

Zhang Yang smiled bitterly: "Chu Mo said that I am laughing, I have been implicated, you and I are brothers, even if you leave, do you think the general will let me and King Wei go?" ”

Li Tai sighed.

The three of them sat not far from the tavern, and Zhang Yang said to him: "Recently, you have made another poem, but you have to listen to it and remember it, the spring breeze is proud, and you can see all the Chang'an flowers in one night." ”

Cheng Chumo nodded heavily, "A certain family remembers." ”

To say that Cheng Chumo is the name of the great poet of Chang'an City, this is obviously his brother-in-law messing around.

This Cheng Chumo doesn't look like a poet, he can't even write well.

And this beautiful misunderstanding, the brother-in-law seems to be going to continue.

Another group of guests went to the tavern, and Li Tai sighed: "Brother-in-law, do you really want to write a collection of poems for Chu Mo?" ”

Zhang Yang nodded, "That's natural." ”

On the afternoon of March day, the warmth made people want to doze off, Zhang Yang walked up to Lishan alone, looking at the edge of Huaqing Pond in his new home, Li Lizhi and a group of younger brothers and sisters who had just woken up were still waking up.

Li Zhi picked up the pool water and splashed it on his face, which gave him a pick-me-up.

The aunt cleaned up two side rooms, one for the princes and one for the princesses.

The children were active by the Huaqing Pond for half an hour, and then they had to continue to start class, and Li Yue gave lessons to Lizhi, Dongyang, Gaoyang, and Li Zhi.

Xu Hui and Xiao Wu gave lectures to the younger Lanling and Qinghe respectively.

Because Li Lizhi and Li Zhi started earlier, they were separated from Princess Lanling, which can also improve their learning efficiency.

There are only 10 days of study in Lishan a month, and these 10 days are very precious.

Zhang Yang plans to build a small wooden bridge for the outlet of Huaqing Pond in his new home, which can also be connected to another courtyard, which was originally a hot spring pool, but his daughter-in-law does not like the smell of hot spring pools.

Transform it into a greenhouse and build a warm melon and fruit shed, so that you can eat fresh fruits and vegetables in winter.

On the sixth day of the third month of Zhenguan, the Western Regions sold another 20,000 stone of grain, as well as Ashinadur's silver money, which was not much, including jade and some fragments of gold, it was only 20,000 yuan.

Li Yue calculated the accounts, fifty percent of the grain sales, excluding two percent of the taxes, and took out 3,000 yuan and sent it to Chang'an City.

Listening to Aunt Wang's story, it was not strange that Zhang Yang did something to Chu Suiliang, and it was not surprising that Li Shimin asked Fang Xuanling to take over Shangshu Province.

The emperor wants to hold power in his own hands, not to mention his money bag.

And this year, an urgent report was sent to Chang'an City, the Western Turkic Ni Khan was about to win, Ye Hu Khan was seriously ill, and he planned to let his son inherit the throne.

This is not good news, the Tang Dynasty needs the Western Turks to be stable, but not a khan like Ni Yu.

Once his power is huge, it will be even more difficult to control the Western Turks in the future.

The existence of a Songtsan Gampo is troublesome enough for Datang, and Zhang Yang doesn't want to cause Datang to lose Tianshan because of his butterfly.

The Western Turkic chaos lasted for three years, which almost depleted the population of the Western Turks.

Of course, this also gave Gaochang a good opportunity to go west.

There should be a result in this matter, and the devil knows how long Persia will be able to hold out under the next wave of cannibalism.

When the typhoon season is over this year, the Great Eclipse will attack Persia again.

At that time, Persia was also a large country with a population of 50 million and an area of more than 7 million square kilometers, and at its peak, Persia began a centuries-long war with Rome.

The times of the year made Persia, but the war also ruined Persia.

In 637, the tenth year of Zhenguan, the ancient capital of Persia, Ctesiphon, was breached, and the Persian king Yazdegerd III was forced to flee to Central Asia, and 40,000 Persian nobles were captured.

Zhang Yang remembered this history, when the Tang Dynasty reinforcements were not sent and the Persian king Yazdegerd died at the hands of the Great Cannibal.

This day is not far away.

Persia was a land of wealth and could also be used as a springboard for the Tang Dynasty's westward expansion.

Even if Li Shimin doesn't want this springboard yet, there is a Tianshan barrier for Datang, and the big cannibal is not necessarily a threat.

Zhang Yang wrote a letter and handed it to Aunt Wang on the side, "Trouble Aunt to hand over this letter to Zhang Daxiang." ”

"Whoa."

The aunt left with the letter.

Li Yue was very happy to count the money, and her daughter was smiling and holding a big piece of gold, she obviously didn't understand the value of gold and silver, but she loved it very much.

The daughter-in-law naturally doesn't mind that her daughter likes money.

Ten days later, the prince and the palace people came to pick up the prince and princesses.

Li Yue and Li Lizhi were reluctant to say goodbye.

In Chang'an City, Li Shimin was also in a good mood when he looked at the children.

Li Zhi took a sip of astringent grape wine, he didn't like to drink at this age, and he didn't drink alcohol in Lishan.

Xiao Xiao took a sip, and Li Zhi whispered: "Father, the Western Regions sent a lot of silver to my brother-in-law. ”

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "Really? How many? ”

Li Zhi gestured, "The gold is very large, as big as the face of the son-in-law, and it was carried into the treasury of my brother-in-law one by one. ”

Li Shimin, who was about to approve the recital, heard this, shook his wrist and drew a long line on the recital.

He put down the pen in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Did your brother-in-law say what you want so much money for?" ”

"My brother-in-law said that he wanted to buy resources, and he couldn't rely on the central government to support him in the future, otherwise the development of Lishan would be controlled by his father."

Although Tong Yan is unscrupulous, Li Zhi says everything, which makes Li Lizhen, the imperial sister, a headache.

The relationship between the brother-in-law and his father is not good, which undoubtedly adds fuel to the fire.
