The suffering of the people has nothing to do with the saints, the saints will not bow their heads, they will only take advantage of the suffering of the people to go up step by step, and open their mouths to see the suffering of the people, and become saints who have been famous for thousands of years.

As for whether the people's lives will improve in the future, it has to do with the government and politics, the time of day, and the saints.

Therefore, whenever Zhang Yang reads the reports of crops in various places, he will always scold these saints in his heart.

After writing the recital, Zhang Yang asked the aunt to send it to Chang'an City.

It is rare for this Lishan County Marquis to be able to write a recital for half a year, and since he served as Taifu Siqing, he has written two recitals this month.

The courtiers were surprised, and said that the county marquis of Lishan had changed his temperament?

It is normal for ordinary courtiers to write four or five pieces of music a day, but Zhang Yang, a Chinese scholar, writes two pieces of music a month, which is very unusual.

If you want to say that this squire has not been concerned about political affairs since last year, His Majesty still allows him to be in the eyes of everyone is nothing more than this Ministry of Rites Shangshu has made a lot of contributions, or His Majesty is benevolent and loving.

The recital sent by the Zhongshu Shilang can be directly entered into the Zhongshu Province, and after reconsideration, this recital was sent to His Majesty.

Li Shimin looked at the content of the chapter, Zhang Yang said two things, the first thing is that Lantian County has carried out the breeding industry, and has formulated a three-year effective plan.

The second thing was to let Shangguanyi serve as the Shaoqing of Taifu Temple, because Taifu Temple did not have an official residence, he stayed in Lishan and assisted in crop and cultivation matters.

The prince stood quietly aside, His Majesty looked solemn after reading this recital, and he didn't know what was written in the recital of the county marquis that could make His Majesty's expression so solemn.

After a long time, Li Shimin spoke: "Send this piece to Zhongshu Province, and let the Ministry of Officials make a book to serve as the Shaoqing of Shangguanyi Taifu Temple." ”

The prince took the recital with both hands and brought His Majesty's words to the Zhongshu Province.

Zhang Yang has already handed over the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and has also handed over the authority of the capital protectorate, as long as this kid is divided in Taifu Temple, other requests can be agreed to him.

Shangguan Yi can be regarded as a member of the office this time.

Li Shimin was also happy to see it, so he became troubled about the affairs of the nine temples, the three provinces and six departments of the DPRK and China are complete, and the nine temples and five prisons have always been scattered, considering the problem of functions and the distribution of officials in the future, they have always been cautious.

Because the Ministry of Rites already has so many attendants, the rest of the six ministries of the DPRK and the Central Committee cannot follow suit, because the role of the Ministry of Rites is becoming more and more obvious.

Since taking the helm of the Foreign Affairs Yuan, Zhang Yang has always adhered to the principle that the two countries compete with each other and diplomacy first, so that the Foreign Affairs Yuan has made a lot of contributions, but the manpower has become more and more insufficient.

Afterwards, after the official department made a book, he sent the official body to Lishan.

There is another person who is the chief bookkeeper of Taifu Temple, Jia Yanfu.

Shangguan Yi personally hosted a banquet for this Jia Yanfu in Lishan, which was equivalent to a contact between superiors and subordinates.

Jia Yanfu was originally born as a strategist, with the habit of a military general, he is refreshing, but he is not a good hand as a civil servant, and this person is often forgetful now.

Zhang Yang came late and looked at this Jia Yanfu, this middle-aged man's black hair mixed with white hair.

Shangguan Yi explained: "This is our county marquis of Lishan, and he is also the secretary of Taifu. ”

Jia Yanfu got up and saluted, and the lower official saw the county marquis, "This time I came to submit the file of Taifu Temple." ”

Zhang Yang saw the burden he brought, and there was a pile of files in the baggage, and he opened one of the volumes and looked at it, which was a file related to salt and iron.

Taifu Temple is in charge of farming, but of course you have to keep an eye on salt and iron taxes.

Jia Yanfu bowed down and said, "County marquis, the lower official has a request." ”

Zhang Yangmu glanced at the file, immediately put it down and took it back, "You say." ”

Jia Yanfu opened his mouth with a straight face, "Please allow the county marquis to resign." ”

Hearing this, Shangguan Yi made a look, and the two of them walked outside the house, and he first whispered: "Since the county marquis was named the secretary of Taifu Temple, the two supervisors of Taifu Temple have been transferred. ”

"What?" Zhang Yang was surprised, and subconsciously looked back at Jia Yanfu.

"Xia Guan also listened to Brother Jia's narration, and it is also His Majesty's intention."

Zhang Yang's expression became more and more puzzled, "It also means that if this Brother Jia also resigns, there will be only you and me left in the entire Taifu Temple." ”

Shangguan Yi bowed his head and stopped talking.

The two walked back to the house and looked at Jia Yanfu again, this person was not tall, he looked to be about fifty years old, his goatee was very long, and his official uniform had long been washed and faded, and he still had patches.

"Tell me, why did you resign?"

Jia Yanfu said in a low voice: "In the troubled times, the lower officials joined the heroic Zhang Xu camel, and now the troubled times have been calmed down, and I want to pay tribute to the robes who died in the war, and now the lower officials are old, and they are no longer as high-spirited as when they were young, if it were not for the county marquis to serve as Taifu Temple, they would not dare to resign, and now the Taifu Temple has been run by the county marquis, so that the lower officials can leave with confidence." ”

After speaking, he took off his official uniform on the spot, took off his official hat and official boots, and left a thin white undershirt on his body.

resigned on the spot and took off his official clothes on the spot, this person's style of acting is really ......

Zhang Yang shook his head and was speechless for a while, "It seems that even if I don't agree to your resignation, you still have to leave." ”

Jia Yanfu nodded heavily, "There is one more thing, the lower official has been the chief secretary of Taifu Temple for six years, and he still owes two years on credit, can he ask the county marquis to settle it." ”

Twisted melons are not sweet.

This person has already made up his mind, and it is not good if he is forced to stay.

Zhang Yang looked around and finally found Li Tai's figure, he was holding the drawings and discussing with Niu Chuang.

Walking quickly to the fat man's side, before he could react, Zhang Yang groped on him.

"What does my brother-in-law do!" Li Tai jumped to his feet and shouted.

Found a piece of silver cake from the fat man's belt, Zhang Yang ignored Li Tai's suspicious gaze and handed the silver cake to Jia Yanfu.

"If there is a lot, you can also accept it, you can resign, but you also have to promise me one thing."

"County marquis, please speak."

"I just glanced at it, the salt and iron taxes of Taifu Temple are not complete, and it has only been three years of martial virtue recently, you are the responsibility of the main book, you must deal with the affairs of this file, you go to the court again, Zhenguan has all the files ten years ago, and you can leave."

"Whoa!" Jia Yanfu responded loudly, and was about to leave quickly, just a few steps away, as if he thought of the need for this official uniform to enter the imperial city, so he hurriedly came back and took away the official uniform, his steps looked messy, and he was a little panicked.

Shangguan Yi frowned and looked at it for a long time, "This person is really weird. ”

Li Tai gritted his teeth, and he could even hear his teeth grinding.

Zhang Yang smiled: "Thank you, His Royal Highness King Wei." ”

"Brother-in-law, you're so rich!"

"The family has always been your imperial sister, where did I get the money."

If you want to ask Jia Yanfu, you have to go back to the troubled times and the heroes from all walks of life raised troops to rebel.

The dossier brought by Taifu Temple was handed over to Shangguan Yi for sorting.

Zhang Yang planned to meet the teacher, but because he was robbed of the silver cake, Li Tai followed behind very unhappily.

The teacher, as before, was playing chess with Li Yuan.

Li Tai's anger has not subsided, and his face is unhappy.

Zhang Yang poured tea for the Emperor Taishang and the teacher, and asked, "Does the teacher still know Jia Yanfu?" ”

Zhang Gongjin held the white chess piece in his hand, "I have heard of this person, it was Li Mi's side at the beginning." ”

"Li Mi, ......"

Li Yuan seemed to remember the past, and thought back slightly.

He came from the troubled times with Liu Weide, and he was also Li Mi's strategist back then, and he was in the same vein as Zhang Xu.

It was only later that Li Mi opposed the Tang Dynasty in the early years of Wude, while Jia Yanfu, Liu Weide, Gao Jifu and others switched to the Tang Dynasty.

Sometimes whether the team is correct determines a person's future, but fortunately, Jia Yanfu and a few people stood on the right side and avoided the disaster of death.

At that time, Li Yuan was already on the throne, and his old man had only heard about the affairs between Haojie, and he didn't know anything in detail.

On the contrary, Zhang Gongjin, who followed Tiance Admiral Li Shimin in the Qin Palace, knew a little better.

At that time, Li Mi also had Wang Bodang by his side, and this Wang Bodang was also a general of Wagang.

Listening to the teacher's words, the teacher and His Majesty appreciated Wang Bodang very much, this person was the most loyal general around Li Mi, and loyal and righteous people could be appreciated since ancient times.

If this Wang Bodang is with Li Shimin, there may be another situation.

After that, Li Mi surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, and was killed in the Tang Dynasty and died in Bears Ears Mountain.

After Zhang Gongjin finished speaking, the chess game was over, he drank the tea and said lightly: "Jia Yanfu is a person, and his talent is more than enough than the bottom, and it is still available, but now he is going to resign, and you will let him go, so you don't have to worry about it in the future." ”

"The student understood."

Zhang Gongjin nodded, "Shangguan Yi is knowledgeable and talented, and he can govern one side and know the advance and retreat, it is enough for you to preside over Taifu Temple with him, just a Jia Yanfu, no need to stay." ”

After all, now there are only two people left in the entire Taifu Temple, Zhang Yang held his forehead painfully, "Does His Royal Highness King Wei want to come to Taifu Temple to serve?" ”

Li Tai snorted coldly, "Brother-in-law thinks that this king still has time to take care of other things, recently specializing in steam engines, we found that when the steam is concentrated in a closed box, the box can be pushed, which is of great help for future casting." ”

Zhang Yang couldn't help but nod his head when he listened, "His Royal Highness King Wei has found that it is very important, and it seems that it is not far from the birth of the steam engine." ”

Li Tai said again: "Brother-in-law, how about I say that I will increase the thickness of the copper pipe?" ”

"You can try."

"The refined copper needed for casting copper pipes is not enough, brother-in-law, do you say that my father will give me some more."

"Exchange silver bread for your father, and the emperor will agree."

……

It wasn't until Zhang Yang walked to the stone steps of Shangli Mountain that Li Tai hurriedly left and continued to be busy casting.

It is very cold in Lishan at night, and the stove is often lit at home, Zhang Yang likes to put a cake by the stove, bake the cake, and make a supper late at night.

After another half a month, Jia Yanfu brought the rest of the files, and he finally left the court.

In terms of talent, presiding over the affairs of Taifu Temple, Shangguanyi alone is enough.

After sorting out these files, Zhang Yang asked Shangguanyi to copy a copy, and kept a copy for himself and took it to Lishan, and read it carefully.

Matters related to salt and iron taxation cannot be sloppy, the tax quota is a matter of Zhongshu Province, and Taifu Temple only reports the annual tax at most.

To put it bluntly, it is still the Zhongshu Province that makes the decision.

Taifu Temple has the power to ask, but does not have the right to dispose of it.

This dossier in Zhang Yang's hand is the situation of salt circulation in the Central Plains in the past two years, and the record is relatively vague, from Lianghuai, Yancheng, and Jiannan Province are still important areas for salt production.

The freedom of the Tang people to use salt has always been a serious problem.

The emperor mastered the salt lake in Tibet, but he could not move the salt price in Guanzhong.

Putting down the file in his hand again, Zhang Yang picked up another one, and he didn't plan to go to the idea of getting salt for the time being, unless he really didn't want to live.

Xiao Qingqing fell asleep on the bear's back, Li Yue held the scroll in his hand, and rested his feet on the bear's back.

The younger brothers and sisters are taking a nap, Xiao Wu and Xiao Hui also help the two aunts sew and mend their clothes, these two girls are very good to Xiao Qingqing.

The child seems to be growing up every day, and he can't wear a single piece of clothing in three or five months.

Knowing that paying taxes in Guanzhong is a very heavy job, Zhang Yang relaxed his eyes painfully, his home is always quiet, and this tranquility brings sleepiness.

Lying on the bamboo chair, I took a nap for a while.

When I woke up, I heard my aunt say that this Jia Runfu went out of the Guanzhong territory to Henan, when Li Mi wanted to sentence Tang, this Jia Runfu was persuaded several times, because Li Mi didn't listen to and wanted to kill Jia Yanfu, he was stopped by Wang Bodang, and Jia Runfu saved his life.

Later, Jia Yanfu fled to the border of Henan, and was also summoned to the court by Li Yuan three years later.

Maybe he went to Henan to make up for the regret in his heart.

Zhang Yang sighed: "Some people live in the present, but their hearts are still in the past. ”

Aunt Yang now only has Xiao Qingqing in her eyes, she is much older, and said in a low voice: "What the county marquis said is that the old people of the year did not let go of the things of the year, and their hearts are naturally still there, the high-spirited heroes of the world are gone, and they can't go back for a long time. ”

No matter what Jia Yanfu is, all the matters of Taifu Temple have been transferred to Lishan, even if the things of the year are difficult to settle, it has nothing to do with him.

Li Mi, Jia Yanfu, Wang Bodang...... The heroes of the world back then were too far away from themselves.

It's not so much about dwelling up on their minds, it's better to do your own things at the moment.

Zhang Yang put down all the files and picked up his daughter, "Daddy made you a twisting car, do you want to play?" ”

"Yes!" Xiao Qingqing laughed.

"As long as it's a toy, this kid likes it." Aunt Yang smiled.

"Then you are not allowed to disturb Daddy's sleep in the future."

"Uh-huh." She nodded heavily.

Zhang Yang let go of her and went to his workshop to work.

In the workshop, a huge table is placed on various metal instruments, some of the lathes are still not very useful, and the grinding process of metal tools will be added in the future.

Zhang Yang put the wooden charcoal pen behind his ear, first put on an apron, put on cloth gloves, and then picked up a belt and tied it, on which were various utensils and rulers.

The outfit of a job is complete.

Take out a piece of paper and start sketching the twisting car, this toy car is easy to build and can keep your daughter entertained for a long time.

In his spare time, he was able to make toys for his daughter, thinking about the needs of crops, and felt that the powerful Datang should not stop the road of expansion, and the needs of people's livelihood could not be separated from the expansion of the country.
