These refined coppers are very precious, and they dare not be wasted when calcined.

When the airtight brass pipe was made, Li Tai happily ate three ducks that day, and he was full of confidence in the future.

In late November, after the beginning of winter, Guanzhong ushered in the first snow.

Heavy snow fell one after another, and there was such a scene in Lishan, where baskets of green vegetables were loaded on carts and sent to Chang'an City by the villagers of Lishan.

The gate of Chang'an City has just been opened, and on a snowy day, the green vegetables on the basket are covered with snow.

Villagers from Lishan spread out on Suzaku Street to deliver these green vegetables to their homes.

Wei Zheng is a poor man, it was a snowy day, and he got up later today than before.

The wife of the family was busy, he walked out of the house in his clothes, pinched his sparse goatee, but saw his wife washing a basket of green vegetables.

He exhaled in the cold air and walked forward quickly, "Where do these greens come from?" ”

Wei Zheng's wife Pei Shi frowned when she laughed, and she said with a smile: "The gift from the Hou of Lishan County is Zhang Yang who came to our house before. ”

"How did he ...... Why did you just take it? ”

Wei Zheng stared and froze in place for a long time.

Pei Shi loved these green vegetables, and she said, "Why don't you accept them?" Have you ever taken care of Shuyu and Shuyu's two sons at home? Don't you want the children to eat jealous celery with you? ”

Wei Zheng was going to say something more.

Pei Shi said again: "Zhang Yang's child is so good, and he said that he would send it next time." ”

"You!" Wei Zheng saw that his wife had already put the green vegetables into the pot, and he said again: "How do you know how many faces and hearts Zhang Yang has?" How can such kindness be received? ”

Pei's face immediately turned cold, "The surname is Wei!" My wife has been married to you for 30 years, do you know how many bowls and how many pairs of chopsticks there are at home? You miss the Sheji Dynasty in your heart, and you don't care about the affairs of the family, do you dare to point at your mother-in-law now? ”

Wei Zheng was like a fish in his throat, and he wanted to speak and stopped, so he had to sigh.

Mrs. Pei said again: "Zhang Yang's child remembered that you were in the court back then, so he sent some green vegetables, why don't you know what to do, you see that there are still a lot of green onions and garlic." ”

Wei Zheng waved his sleeves and sighed again, this mother-in-law's voice was loud, and she had already woken up the children at home, so she could only leave quickly.

It was not only Wei Zheng's family who received green vegetables in Chang'an City, but even Qin Qiong, Wei Chigong, Cheng Yanjin, Niu Jinda, and even Cen Wenwen and Chu Suiliang did not let go.

Green vegetables are rare, and they are not valuable, everyone needs to eat them in winter, and it is not easy to refuse.

I know that there are several other families who have accepted it, and some people have accepted Lishan's kindness.

There are not many green vegetables given, and it is only the amount of two meals a day for a family, and you can eat three or two more days if you save a little.

For a while, the sound of talking about the luxury greenhouse of Lishan was dissipated at a very fast speed.

Until this matter reached Li Shimin's ears, the children were not in the palace, and the queen and His Majesty were also a lot more leisurely.

Li Shimin had planned to go out hunting early today, but when he heard that Lishan had sent green vegetables to several princes on Suzaku Street, he didn't care.

But when he heard the prince say that the dishes in the palace had been eaten, his face immediately darkened again.

"This bastard boy, you know how many to send to them, don't you know how to send some more to the palace?"

The prince said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the palace maid of Lishan sent a message, saying that there are not many green vegetables on the mountain, and this time the Hou of Lishan County took out almost all the green vegetables in Lishan, and what was left was enough for his own family." ”

Li Shimin lowered his eyebrows and looked at the bowl of millet porridge in front of him, as well as a salted duck egg, and suddenly lost his appetite and wanted to eat green vegetables.

There is a way to get a fish and forget it, go up the tree and pull out the ladder.

Now Your Majesty is in this mood.

"I've always tolerated him." Li Shimin didn't drink porridge or move chopsticks, but stood up and looked at the heavy snow outside the window and said in a low voice: "I have always hoped that the powerful courtiers can have a diligent and thrifty style, Zhang Yang is still young, I think he has talent, so I cultivate him everywhere." ”

"Let him go to the East Palace, let him preside over the Chongwen Pavilion, and let him worship Zhang Gongjin as a teacher, now he has talent, ranked among the six Shangshu, and entered the Zhongshu Province, but he thought I had failed him?"

Listening to His Majesty's heartfelt words, the eldest grandson queen on the side looked bad, and the little son next to her did not go to Lishan, but stayed by her side, she was sitting on the ground playing with building blocks.

His Majesty's words had a feeling of being let down by Zhang Yang.

In the queen's opinion, the contradiction between His Majesty and Zhang Yang is indescribable, in fact, he is a very assertive child, and he does not like to be restricted by rules everywhere.

Although his family has a lot of family rules, even if there are so many family rules, they are all trivial.

And His Majesty has always hoped to take Zhang Yang into the palm of his hand and become an obedient courtier in his hands.

But Zhang Yang is not an obedient person.

What is said to be ranked in the six books, and these things are all His Majesty's will, and these things are too late for him to hide.

The snowflakes were blown into the hall by the wind, and the palace maids on the side hurriedly closed the windows.

Under the emperor's power, how can Your Majesty talk about kindness and hard work.

When the time came, Li Shimin had changed his clothes, and he was going to court on a snowy day, and there were still many things to discuss this year.

This Tian Khan walked towards the Taiji Palace, thinking about several things in the court, the Ministry of Rites has finished all the things that should be done this year, and they will prepare the arrangements for Persia and the Great Food in the coming year.

A few days ago, Zhang Daxiang of the Ministry of Rites sent a concert, the king of Persia could not rule today's Persia, the Persian prince Belus had lived in Chang'an for a long time, and had learned many governance strategies, which must have been able to bring some changes to Persia.

The condition for the Western Regions to come to the aid of Persia was that the king of Persia abdicated and the prince of Persia became the new king of Persia.

In this way, it was possible for the Western Regions to rush to the aid of Persia.

This matter was also approved by the court and China, and the decree was sent out last month, and I don't know what the situation in Persia is at the moment.

Today's early dynasty began, the wind and snow outside the palace were still there, and after the six departments and Zhongshu Province reported their respective matters, there were Wenchen who impeached the military generals and received the green vegetables sent by Lishan.

At the beginning of winter, at the night banquet of the Taiji Palace, everyone was resentful of the extravagance of Lishan.

In the face of Wenchen's impeachment, Cheng Yanjin said quietly in the palace, "According to rumors, both Zheng Gong and Zhao Guogong received the green vegetables of Lishan. ”

As soon as the words fell, the hall fell silent.

The eldest grandson Wuji was silent, and his face was as cold as a thousand years of ice.

Wei Zheng said loudly: "Cheng Biting Jin, you don't want to talk nonsense." ”

Cheng bit Jin Lang laughed loudly: "Wei Zheng old horseman, you still have vegetable leaves between your teeth!" ”

Wei Zheng subconsciously covered his mouth and buckled his teeth, and bowed down to His Majesty who was black-faced, "Your Majesty, the matter of receiving Lishan green vegetables at home, the old minister only found out afterwards, not what the killing Cai said. ”

Li Shimin's breathing was heavy, and he looked at the civil and military sides in the hall arguing, his expression was numb, and he couldn't go on this morning.

Everyone in this Tai Chi hall was shouting and scolding, and the quarrels in the hall were higher and higher.

Li Shimin reluctantly got up and left.

The emperor quarreled even more fiercely when he left, because Lishan sent some green vegetables, which made the civil and military sides scold and fight.

Li Chengqian finally escaped from the Taiji Palace, and as soon as he came out to catch his breath, an official hat was thrown out again.

Closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, Li Chengqian smiled bitterly, obviously everyone was going to Lishan, but now it is good that the courtiers are fighting by themselves.

After recalling the before and after of the incident, Li Chengqian felt that he had learned another incredible method.

Ignoring the chaos behind him, he walked towards the East Palace.

The guard on the side said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, do you have to send troops to pull them away in such a situation?" ”

This squire is new and inexperienced.

The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs is dedicated to the sake of the community, quarrels are not uncommon, and fights are often common, don't look at Wei Zheng and others as literati, but the fists and kicks are also good when they fight.

Li Chengqian followed the guard's words and said, "Then you will inform Jin Wuwei of this matter and see if you can send troops over." ”

"Whoa."

The new palace guard was ordered to leave.

As everyone knows, no one dares to persuade them easily in this situation, and often those who persuade them will also be beaten, unless their father orders them to stop, these ministers will be obedient.

If the father doesn't care, then they can only wait for themselves to calm down their anger.

The cold air from the north hit, and this year Guanzhong was bone-chilling, Zhang Yang sat by the Weishui River fishing, and the Weishui River formed a thin layer of ice.

At the entrance of Lishan Village, a team of horse-drawn carriages stopped at the entrance of the village.

Li Tai and Shangguan Yi greeted them at the entrance of the village, and Pei Xuanji, Hui Kuang, and Li Zhengzao came together.

This time, the 300,000 yuan subscription was sent from the beginning of autumn to the cold winter season now.

Li Zhengzao was wearing a thick cotton coat, "The old man admires the weaving method of Lishan, and he only needs such a piece to keep out the cold." ”

Li Tai invited a few people to hide from the snow under the shed on the side, and Shangguan Yi had already warmed the wine.

Monk Huikuang sat down and recited the Buddha's name, and said, "The old monk doesn't drink. ”

Taking back the wine jug again, Li Tai poured it for Li Zhengzao, "I thought that I would not be able to see this silver coin until the beginning of spring next year, but I didn't expect it to be sent now." ”

It was already late winter in December, and the heavy snow had been falling intermittently for more than ten days, and the monk Huikuang said with a smile: "I came to buy papermaking for the world, so it's better to do it as soon as possible." ”

Li Tai frowned and said, "This king thought that you would say that you would not have long nights and dreams. ”

Compared to this monk, Li Zhengzao likes wine very much, he looked at the clear wine and poured it down.

The wine burned into his throat like a fire, red from his neck to his cheeks, and his nostrils were filled with the smell of wine rushing up, and the strength of the wine went straight to his head.

"Good wine!" He patted the case.

Li Tai poured him again, "This is the wine we made recently. ”

Monk Huikuang whispered: "Zhengzao, we are here to buy Lishan papermaking, and we must not miss things because of this little wine." ”

Li Zhengzao waved his hand and said: "Just like this, the old man can't get drunk with three or two bowls of wine." ”

As he spoke, he took another sip.

Seeing that King Wei and Shangguan Yi did not touch the entire wine, Hui Kuang's expression was a little more worried, he stood up and saluted: "Since we have already taken out the subscription money, can His Royal Highness King Wei take out the papermaking technique and let me wait for a while?" ”

Hearing this, Li Tai took out a roll of paper from the guard on the side, spread the paper on the table, and the pictures came into view.

"This is the drawing required for the partial construction of Lishan papermaking, you just paid the subscription, if you can come up with the next two million, we will hand over all the drawings to you."

Monk Huikuang looked at the picture carefully, afraid of missing the details in the picture below.

Li Zhengzao looked fixedly, and his eyes were also staring at the details in the drawings.

According to the request of my brother-in-law, all the other scattered drawings were drawn on a large piece of paper, these two people are from different forces, they don't necessarily have much of the same heart, and the reason for only giving one is very simple, that is, let them fight.

This drawing is very complicated, so complicated that it took them half a month to draw it, and they want to copy it, and it is even more difficult to draw it without Lishan's special ruler and compass.

In addition to these, it is necessary to have the ability to understand the three views in the diagram.

Without enough knowledge, it is useless for them to have drawings alone.

Not to mention the construction, it is also very difficult to build without the unique rulers and tools of Lishan, and this is a papermaking assembly line after several improvements.

As for the recipe for the pulp, it is not written on paper and will not be given to them at this time.

It's just that the eyes of the three people in front of them are on the drawings, but they see Shangguan Yi stuffing a bag of things into Li Zhengzao's package.

Li Tai's eyes caught a glimpse of the unspoken, and he was also surprised by Shangguan Yi's current actions.

thought that he had a grudge with Li Zhengzao before, so he didn't see it.

In addition to being a Buddhist monk, the monk is also a learned person, this person looked at the drawings and sighed secretly: "The old monk has never seen such exquisite drawings, and the creation of Lishan is worthy of its name." ”

Li Zhengzao retracted his gaze and did not speak.

"I heard that the hot spring land of Hou in Lishan County planted green vegetables in the cold winter season under the glazed roof, but when the sky is so seized, the location is ...... favorable."

Monk Huikuang recited a Buddha horn again, and he said with a straight face: "Those who have seized heaven and earth in the past dynasties must not die well, and when the marquis of Lishan County seizes the sky, he will change the land and act against the sky will inevitably have retribution." ”

The corners of Li Tai's mouth twitched, if he hadn't been in Lishan for so long and had the same position as his brother-in-law, maybe he would have been blinded by the entire old monk.

"The old monk thought that the county marquis should remove the glazed roof and change the hot spring land, so he built a temple on Lishan Mountain to get rid of such karma."

Li Tai smiled: "You old monk just want this king's brother-in-law to also enter the Buddhist gate, don't think about it, your brother-in-law has set up his own mountain gate, and the Lishan school will definitely be famous in the Central Plains in the future." ”

"Oh?" Monk Huikuang came to be interested, "Dare to ask the Lishan School is to seize heaven and earth and create nature, in order to satisfy one's own selfish desires?" ”

The old monk always speaks from an angle other than right and wrong, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.

Li Tai poured wine for Li Zhengzao and said: "Could it be that when the sky gives the world drought and flood, people deserve to starve to death, drown, and die of thirst?" ”

Hui Kuang clasped his hands together, he closed his eyes and whispered a scripture, and before he opened his eyes, he said, "His Royal Highness King Wei, what is it that has bewitched your mind?" If the heavens want to let the world die, there will be the compassion of the Buddha on earth, and even if they die, they will go to another heaven and earth. ”

"After the old monk passed away, he would go to see the Buddha and tell about the merits of this life, and if the Hou of Lishan County is obsessed, he will suffer a lot even after death, and his enjoyment before death is only a moment of smoke, and the torture to be endured after death is endless."
