It is also one of the few people who can prosper Tibet to the peak, although it has only been a few years, at least it has prospered.

Songtsen Gampo got back on his horse and said, "Farewell." ”

Recently, Li Tai's life has been very good, and he has resumed the days of losing weight while eating and drinking, and his complexion has recovered in just a few days.

The steam engine thing was put behind him for the time being, and his life was comfortable again.

Songtsen Gampo has just arrived, and Li Tai has also come.

"Why is this Tibetan man here again?"

Zhang Yang shook the pu fan in his hand, "His Royal Highness King Wei looks a lot better." ”

"I drank medicine for three days and ate five ducks." Li Tai hung his head.

I finally had a chance to lose weight, and now I'm eating it back.

There is a difference between people's health state and sickness, and in Li Tai's current condition, it is much better to be healthy and fat than to be thin and sluggish.

For example, his current spirit is much better than before.

"Why did this Tibetan man leave?" Li Tai stood there angrily.

"If he comes next time, trouble His Royal Highness the King of Wei to drive people out with sticks."

"Okay." Li Tai nodded heavily.

The two came to the tavern outside Lishan Village, it was autumn, and there were more businessmen who came to Lishan, they bought cotton cloth in Lishan, and then sold it in various parts of the Central Plains, and when they arrived in various parts of the Central Plains, it was also the late autumn of the year.

After the events in Luoyang, the emperor restricted merchants more and more, but he still had to deal with those merchants with backgrounds.

There have always been merchants in the Central Plains, and since the pre-Qin period, there have been people who buy and sell to make a living.

Goods need to circulate, the west of the Central Plains needs salt from the east, and the north of the Central Plains needs cloth from the south.

Looking at Qinchuan for 800 miles from Chang'an City, this year is still a bumper harvest year, and grain is stored in various places after autumn to survive the winter or to prepare for emergencies.

The small tavern in front of me has been expanded, and compared with the previous one, it has added the function of a hotel, and a courtyard has been built at the rear, which is divided into two floors for guests to rest and rest, and the business is getting better and better.

In the past, businessmen would choose to rest in Chang'an City, but there is such a place to stay on the edge of Lishan Mountain, which is convenient and convenient, if it is not a vendor who goes to Chang'an City to buy goods, he is willing to rest here for two days first.

The business of the liquor store has also entered the peak season, and there are many customers coming and going.

Zhang Yang and Li Tai watched from a distance, and Cheng Chumo noticed the gazes of the two of them, and stepped forward quickly, "What do the guests want?" ”

Li Tai glared and said, "Who is your guest?" ”

Cheng Chumo's beard was luxuriant, he scratched the back of his head and said with a smile: "I'm used to it, now I call people guests when I see them, even if it's my old goods standing in front of me, it's inevitable." ”

Zhang Yang squatted aside, wearing a hat to block the sun, "Your family has already been ranked as the prince of the country, hereditary replacement, and yours will also inherit your old goods in the future, has he come to see you?" ”

"That old man called a certain family out, beat him and left, and didn't say anything, just said that in the future, you Zhang Yang must take care of the Cheng family, otherwise he will lead troops to sweep Lishan away."

Li Tai gasped, "General Cheng is really ...... as always"

Cheng Chumo said with disgust: "It's just a killer." ”

The current Chu Mo is at least much better than the previous infatuated appearance, Zhang Yang said to him: "There is something I want your help with." ”

Chu Mo nodded, "You just speak." ”

"Do you remember the wine shop I often went to in Chang'an City, that is, when Da'an was still in Chang'an a few years ago, he often went to the wine shop to eat."

"Remember, the one in the east of the city."

Zhang Yang lowered his voice, "If you ask the store for a barrel of koji, just say that Xiao Zhang ordered it, and he will agree." ”

Cheng Chumo nodded, "Let's arrange it." ”

"Wait! Come back. Zhang Yang stopped him again and instructed: "This person used to be a ranger, and he had a seriously ill old mother at home, as well as a young wife, so give others some more money." ”

Seeing that Chu Mo stood aside with a troubled expression, Zhang Yang searched for a piece of silver cake from the fat man under Li Tai's angry eyes.

"This piece of silver cake is probably enough, let's give it all to their family."

Now Chu Mo has been living away and not returning home, but the restaurant girl will give him some wages, how can there be any money.

Seeing that there were more and more customers in the restaurant, Chu Mo went back to help.

Not to mention, my brother-in-law is used to taking money from him, Li Tai frowned and looked at Chu Mo and said, "Brother-in-law, what are you going to do if you want koji?" ”

"You can take a look at the discussion plan for the steam engine, don't we still have a lot of open space in Lishan? It is used for sake brewing, and this season is a good time for sake brewing in terms of light and humidity and temperature. ”

At the beginning, his father promised that he could make those old grains into wine, and he knew what his brother-in-law was going to do, Li Tai got up and said, "Let Brother Shangguan arrange it." ”

The village organized manpower to prepare the sake brewing.

Zhang Yang wrote a piece of music and sent it to the palace, and Li Shimin asked people to send the grain, and the grain bags on a cart were full.

The queue is very long, looking from Lishan towards Chang'an City, the scene on the official road is very spectacular, and the team that can't see the end at a glance is sending food to Lishan in a steady stream.

These grains are all old grains of the year.

Chu Suiliang personally led the team to come, and food was the top priority.

The purpose of sending people to investigate was to see if Lishan was really using grain for winemaking, and he was afraid that Lishan would sell the grain.

Along with Chu Suiliang came Xu Xiaode.

Xu Hui followed the master all the way to Lishan, saw his father, and stepped forward and said, "Daddy." ”

Xu Xiaode is now wearing a five-grade court dress, and he is the imperial historian in the court, and after the matter of Luoyang has been settled, he will be listed as a five-grade official.

Looking at his daughter, Xu Xiaode nodded slightly, "After a year, I have grown a lot taller." ”

Now Xu Hui is fourteen years old, slim and elegant, with clear and bright eyes.

"Are my mother and two brothers okay?"

"Well, your mother is thinking about you."

Xu Hui smiled all over her face, "My daughter is homesick." ”

Zhang Yang said again: "When it comes to the Mid-Autumn Festival, I'll go home and have a look." ”

Xu Xiaode hurriedly saluted, "The little girl can learn skills from Her Royal Highness the princess in Lishan, and you must not delay, and you must not mess up the child's mood." ”

Seeing that Xiaohui really misses her family, it doesn't look like Xiao Wu's father and mother are in Lishan.

Zhang Yang held his hands and sighed, "It's better to be like this, Xu Yushi brought his family to Lishan in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and we in Lishan will hold a banquet in the village." ”

Xu Xiaode nodded, "It's okay." ”

Chu Suiliang and Shangguan Yi are counting the grain, as the imperial historian of the Imperial Historical Observatory, he has won the trust of His Majesty, and he also has to watch the arrangement of these grains.

Xu Hui followed aside and took out the account book, "The teacher has explained, and Lishan will also copy a copy of the account book and grain book." ”

"At the beginning, he was an official in the East Palace with the county marquis, but now that I think about it, it is no longer the beginning, and the Tibetan Zampu accused the county marquis of many crimes in front of His Majesty."

Zhang Yang walked all the way, "I don't care about this. ”

Xu Xiaode said again: "What the Foreign Affairs Yuan has done is good, but after all, Your Majesty is the Khan of the Heavens, and you still don't have to go too far, that Tubo Zampu is now going to live in Chang'an City for a long time, and His Majesty allows him to enter and exit the Hongwen Pavilion and the Guozijian to learn the governance strategies of the DPRK and China, this person is very diligent these days, and I am afraid that he still has a heart of disobedience." ”

"Hey, Lao Xu, did you impeach me again at the beginning of the year?"

"Whenever there is injustice, the lower officials will report it truthfully."

Xu Xiaode sighed, "There is another thing, the lower officials heard that when Songtsen Gampo came to Chang'an City, he also came to see the county marquis, but there is such a thing." ”

Zhang Yang nodded numbly.

"He is the Zampu of Tubo, and you are the county marquis of the Tang Dynasty, and you are ranked among the six Shangshu, and you meet privately with the monarch of other countries, which is not good, and it is easy to cause criticism from others, and please be cautious in your words and deeds, and don't be taken by others."

Zhang Yang nodded stunnedly, "I have already made my position clear to him, and most of them will not come." ”

"This is very good, now the DPRK and China are quite critical of the Foreign Affairs Yuan, and Zheng Gong also has a lot of dissatisfaction, and His Majesty has reprimanded Xu Jingzong and Zhang Daxiang a few days ago, but there is no punishment, which is enough to show the depth of the resentment of the DPRK and the Ministry of Rites."

Walking to the winemaking field, Li Tai and Shangguanyi used two acres of land to make the winemaking field, because there was a lot of grain, and they had to use one more acre of land to store grain.

A hundred people were organized, and it was very busy here, but fortunately, after the autumn rains, the weather was not so hot.

Listening to Xu Xiaode still chattering in his ear, Zhang Yang sighed: "Old Xu, after so many years, you still haven't changed at all. ”

"I have always adhered to my heart, and naturally it will not change."

Shangguan Yi and Chu Suiliang have checked, and Xu Xiaode has to stay in the village for three or two days to observe the specific situation of grain winemaking, and record it and report it.

"The county marquis wants to brew water, but he has to sell it outside the customs, and he says something from the bottom of his heart, it's not that he can't trust the county marquis, but there are many suspicions in the court, and he is afraid that Lishan will use these grains for his own personal gain."

It is not uncommon for the DPRK and China to have these worries, so Li Tae should be involved in this matter.

Besides, in this era, wine was hard currency, and the value of wine was higher, even if it was transported to the Western Regions or Mobei.

Alcohol in Guanzhong has always been in demand outside the Guanzhong.

There is no shortage of market for in-demand goods.

Looking at Xu Xiaode again, this person's eyes were staring at him again.

Zhang Yang waved his hands and said suspiciously: "Old Xu, do you have anything else?" ”

Xu Xiaode smiled heartily, "Xia Guan wants to ask if he can live here." ”

He pointed to the small house next to the liquor floor.

"That's the leaven we use for fermentation, and it's inhabited."

"Really?"

Seeing the doubts in Xu Xiaode's heart, Zhang Yang said again: "There are many empty houses in our village, I will naturally arrange them to make your life more comfortable, but there is no special person in our village to serve." ”

"The subordinate doesn't need to be served." Xu Xiaode bowed and saluted, "The county marquis can arrange a hut." ”

Zhang Yang smiled bitterly: "It's the house where the villagers in the village live, everyone lives in the same place, and there is no good or bad difference." ”

Xu Hui also nodded, "Well, Lishan is like this." ”

After talking to him, Zhang Yang took him to his residence, followed by Xu Hui.

The village is very quiet, except for lunch and evening, there is no one in the village, every family is not closed at night, and the village road is not forgotten.

The village is small, but it is peaceful and easy to govern.

I took Xu Xiaode to a house, where the village had undergone a major relocation two years ago, and many houses were empty after the relocation.

Zhang Yang stretched out his hand to open the door, the yard was very empty, and explained: "There are many empty houses in our village, these houses are uninhabited, and they have been idle since they were built. ”

Xu Xiaode listened and looked at this mansion, "Xiaguan only needs a small house to live in, living in such a house, the people in the court will discuss that Xiaguan has received the benefits of the county marquis." ”

Is it tolerable or unbearable, Zhang Yang grimaced, "There is no other house." ”

Xu Xiaode no longer cared, "Xiaguan will stay for the time being." ”

"Later, Shangguanyi will have people send the utensils of life, you live here these days, and when you come to Lishan again in the Mid-Autumn Festival, you will still live here, and this house will be kept for you."

Xu Xiaode nodded and agreed.

Zhang Yang walked outside the house, and Xu Xiaode and Xu Hui's father and daughter still had some words to say in the courtyard.

I can vaguely hear that Xu Hui and his father are talking about what they have learned in Lishan in the past two years.

also talked about the affairs of the family, it is nothing more than that he Xu Xiaode was promoted, and his relatives came to defect, and Xu Xiaode is a person who is dedicated to the public, he is not good at favoritism, and it is impossible to help his relatives.

After a while, Xu Hui came out, holding the account book in her hand and carrying a burden on her shoulder.

"Master, I brought some souvenirs from my hometown."

"Really? What specialty? Give me a taste. ”

Xu Hui lifted the burden, took out a small box, and when she opened the box, there were plums.

The dried plums were very good, and Zhang Yang tasted it, "Well, it tastes good." ”

Xu Hui held the account book in her arms and put the box back into the baggage, her hands were a little busy as she walked.

"What did your dad tell you?"

"Daddy said that I learned skills in Lishan, and those relatives said that they wanted my father to find an official position, and told me that if any relatives came to Lishan, tell the master and the teacher that they must not be taken in."

Zhang Yang nodded slightly, and threw a small dried plum into his mouth.

"This is a summer plum, salted in the sun, the original egg-sized plum dried up and became such a small one, salty, sweet and salty, I used to eat it when I was a child."

Xu Hui said again: "I don't know if Xiao Wu and the teacher will like it." ”

Today she saw her father, or his father would feel sorry for his daughter and bring things from his hometown.

Now Xu Xiaode can be regarded as getting ahead, and there are naturally many people who come to serve.

Based on Xu Xiaode's behavior in Chang'an City over the years, he is not like a person with many friends, someone avoided him before, but now he can gain a foothold in the court, and the people who avoided him at the beginning naturally come closer.

Xu Xiaode watched her daughter walk away, and she followed behind Zhang Yang step by step.

The daughter's knowledge is getting better and better, and even admires herself as a father.

Her Royal Highness the princess taught carefully, and there was such a big one as Zhang Yang to rely on.

Xu Xiaode nodded secretly, this is also good, at least her daughter's future does not have to worry, "Well, it's good." ”
