These three strong men are the people who escorted them to Liaodong in the first place, and they are still staying here after three years.

A gentleman promises a lot of money, and so do the Tang warriors.

Zhang Da'an's sigh turned into a cloud of white mist in the cold air, "When the matter in Liaodong is calmed down, I will return to Chang'an." ”

The strong man replied, "The villagers here will surely see you off." ”

Everyone watched Zhang Da'an, a diligent young man, go all the way, and he would always patiently solve many difficult things in Liaodong.

He also built city walls, repaired roads and ditches, sorted out household registration, invited people from the mountains and wilderness, and gave them land to cultivate.

These things can't be done by one person, but Da'an insisted as always, and he really did it well.

It's rare for him to have such patience and resilience.

Zhang Daan was worried, "I don't know how my father is doing, I really want to go back as soon as possible." ”

After the recovery of Goguryeo, it was the time for Da'an to return to Chang'an.

From the beginning of last year to the present, Zhang Da'an has also been inquiring about the situation in Chang'an in Datang, knowing that his brother has become the secretary of Taifu Temple, and knowing that the court and China have begun to open up the capital to protect the mansion.

It is a good thing that the emperor is making great efforts, and Zhang Da'an stepped out of the official office.

The strong man on the side said again: "I heard that now the Marquis of Lishan County has been given a cold shoulder by His Majesty. ”

Zhang Daan said with a smile: "You are wrong, my brother's cold reception now is only temporary, my brother is still young and there will be a chance to recover in the future, the official positions of Zhongshu Province are still on my brother, His Majesty will not forget the merits of Sheji, and my brother's Taifu Siqing will definitely be able to do better than the previous appointments." ”

The strong man smiled and said, "Brother Da'an said that, it's right to think about it. ”

Zhang Da'an nodded and said: "It will rain heavily most of the night, and tell the Lichang County Cheng of the fifteen villages of the four counties in Liaodong that you don't sleep too much at night." ”

"Whoa."

It was dark at night, and after a while, it really rained heavily in Liaodong.

Zhang Da'an decided to stay up all night and be ready to deal with this heavy rain at any time.

With the order of Changshi, the county officials and Li Zheng of various villages and counties did not dare to sleep more, and stayed up all night to survive this torrential rain.

When the torrential rain stopped and the sky brightened again, Zhang Da'an walked up the ditch again, looking at the water flow in the ditch, fortunately it had been repaired before, and the impact of the water on the fields was not great.

Take precautions, May to September is the rainy season in Liaodong, the rain is short, and the rain is big and small.

This is also the difficulty for Da'an to govern here.

In the persistence of not underestimating every shower of rain, we strive to minimize the loss.

In May in Guanzhong, the spring breeze was blowing, and Xiao Wu, Xiao Hui, and Li Lizhi were riding and shooting.

Each of them rode a horse, with a bow and arrows.

While the horse was running, Li Lizhi pulled the bow in his hand and released an arrow, which could only fall on the target.

The three of them are not proficient in riding and archery, and they can't shoot accurately at such a close distance.

Zhang Yang poured tea for Li Shimin, "Your Majesty, why do you have time to come to Lishan today." ”

Li Shimin drank this year's new tea, "My children are all in Lishan, why can't I come and take a look." ”

"Your Majesty comes to Lishan every time he comes with troubles."

Li Shimin looked at Xiao Wu and Xu Hui's riding and archery skills again, "How long has this been practiced?" ”

"It has been half a month since I just started at the end of April, from the most basic archery, to practicing swords, until now riding archery."

Zhang Yang picked up his teacup, shared a chair with His Majesty, and sat at the foot of Lishan Mountain.

As Li Lizhi shot another arrow, the arrow was not on the target this time.

The results of the three girls were similar.

The aunt told them to rest, apparently tired.

Human endurance is limited, and they have been practicing for half an hour.

The three girls each wiped their sweat and sat at the foot of the mountain, helping each other press their legs and relax their arms.

Usually, these three girls are pampered, but now they have to practice for so long all at once, and their bodies will inevitably not adapt.

Therefore, the children on Lishan Mountain, as they grow older in the future, will add riding and archery to their physical education classes.

"Lizhi is still young, and I'm not in a hurry."

Zhang Yang said with a smile: "You have to rest for three days a day of practice, otherwise your body can't bear it, they haven't adapted to this kind of practice, after one day of practice, the next day don't say that your legs and feet are sore, your wrists and arms can't be stretched, how can you be born to ride and shoot." ”

"Everyone is a mortal body, and they all have their own load limits, which is nothing more than the process of adaptation of muscles and bones."

These words were very pertinent, Li Shimin nodded and said: "I didn't suffer much in order to practice cavalry and archery well, and the generals in the army didn't run thousands of miles, and galloped to the aid side under the starry night, and when a war was over, they were so tired that they could only let people help them get off their horses." ”

"It's not easy to go to the next game before you have a moment of rest, and it's not easy to get tired and spinning."

Seeing through the appearance and seeing the essence is a skill.

Zhang Yang felt that he could slowly change the emperor's mind in this way, so that Li Shimin could have more pioneering ambitions on the road to becoming a Ming monarch.

"I heard that the Tubo people have been in a stalemate with the Ministry of Rites in the construction of the Metropolitan Protectorate, and Nalu Dongzan has always refused to agree to the location of the Ministry of Rites."

Hearing this, Zhang Yang said worriedly: "Lu Dongzan still has expectations for Tubo in his heart, especially after Songtsan Gampo came to Chang'an City, he became more and more determined in his heart, and suggested that His Majesty kill Lu Dongzan to prevent future troubles." ”

Li Shimin bowed his head and said: "I am the Khan of the Heavens, and Tubo has now surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, since this is the case Lu Dongzan is also a general of the Tang Dynasty, how can I kill him?" ”

The prince on the side smiled and refilled the tea for the two monarchs and ministers.

Zhang Yang lowered his voice, "Your Majesty, have you ever thought that a short surrender is not a long-term solution, but a long-term plan to include my Datang territory." ”

"I know, let Tubo learn Guanzhong dialect, read the classics of the Central Plains, and let the Tubo people become Central Plains people from now on, Wei Zheng and I have talked about this."

"What does Your Majesty think?"

"Isn't the Ministry of Rites already doing this? Don't think that I don't know what's going on in Tibet, because more and more people you have cultivated in Tibet, and sooner or later there will be chaos in Tibet. ”

Zhang Yang said with emotion: "Let Your Majesty laugh, if Your Majesty can make a will, this matter can be twice as effective with half the effort." ”

"What will?"

Zhang Yang held the tea bowl and looked at the fields in the distance, "Anyone outside the Central Plains, whether it is the Turkic Uighurs, or the Tubo or the Western Regions, but whoever appoints the ruler of a place must learn the Guanzhong dialect and learn the Guan Chinese characters. ”

"My Datang is based on the world, and has the heart of embracing all things, the Tubo people, the people of the Western Regions, and the Uighurs are all the people of my Datang, and they all have to learn the language and writing of the Tang Dynasty and become their official language, not just submit to it, they want to change, change from the root, and our Datang is orthodox."

"The knowledge of the Tang Dynasty is supreme, the classics of the Tang Dynasty are what they have to study all their lives, I call this studying abroad, so as to teach them Confucian teachings, teach them the customs and customs of Guanzhong, and then bring these to all parties, the rule of the people of the Western Regions is still the people of the Western Regions, but what the people of the Western Regions have learned and written, and even the words they say are Guanzhong dialects."

"In this way, it is the real peace of mind, there will be generations of such people in the future, their traditions will become history, and the tradition of my Tang Dynasty will always be passed on, and my Tang Dynasty is the largest group in the world."

War requires cost, since the fourth year of Zhenguan Li Jing's victory in the first battle of Yinshan, the Tang Dynasty is not strong, in the way of dealing with foreign enemies, especially the settlement of Turks south of Yinshan.

Li Shimin has also always adopted the lowest cost approach.

If one side can be pacified without war, and the Western Regions can be completely assimilated into the territory, this method is indeed better than forcing the bull's head to graze.

At the foot of this mountain, you can just reach the sun, if there is no Qinling Mountains that cross the north and south of the Central Plains at this time, the southeast wind does not need to be blocked by the Qinling Mountains, and it must be very comfortable to blow on people.

The warm and humid monsoon wind can blow all the way to the west, so that Chang'an City will also have more rain, so that the yellow sand in the northwest can also grow more big trees.

Of course, the Qinling Mountains have the advantage of existing, and the Qinling Mountains can also block most of the cold air in the north.

Zhang Yang changed his sitting posture, "Your Majesty, after the war is surrender, after surrender needs to be governed, surrender is only temporary, a temporary surrender will sooner or later rebel, and the covenant will be torn up sooner or later, when they surrender, the assimilation of their hearts is the most important thing, long-term peace and stability, you need people's hearts to be attached." ”

"Do you think I can't see that? Easier said than done. ”

The three girls rested for an hour and began to practice riding and archery again.

Li Zhi and Dongyang, as well as Qinghe, are placing paper kites not far away.

Li Shimin looked at his own children quietly, and after a while, he stood up, "These children have bothered you. ”

Zhang Yang swallowed a sip of tea, "There are only a few more pairs of chopsticks at home, it's nothing." ”

"I came to Lishan to scatter my mind, what you said, I will discuss it with Fang Xuanling and them, the court still needs paper, how much Lishan is now?"

Zhang Yang sighed and said: "Your Majesty can go and ask Shangguan Yi, I haven't asked about the paper mill for a long time." ”

"I went to take a look, took the paper, and went back."

Li Zhi also left with his father.

His Majesty really came to Lishan with a request, and he knew that he would not come to Lishan if he had nothing to do.

When it was time for lunch, Zhang Yang took his younger brothers and sisters back.

On the mountain, Li Yue and Aunt Wang had already prepared a table of meals.

However, Li Yue always helps wash and chop vegetables.

It is the most critical stage of pregnancy that the aunt will not let her near the stove.

When it was time to eat, Li Zhi came back in a hurry, and Zhang Yang asked, only to know that his father had taken away 2,000 feet of paper from Lishan again.

On the way, I also asked about the technological progress of paper recycling.

The DPRK and China are also counting on papermaking technology to be able to recover some of the capital, and Li Shimin will definitely pay attention to this matter.

In the afternoon, thinking about the time for His Majesty to return to the palace, the court sent several truckloads of old paper.

It doesn't hurt that the recycled paper is stored just like that.

There is no need to rush this recycling technology, and it is a big deal to store the recycled paper for a little longer.

Li Yue stood by the seedbed with her waist propped up, she looked at the seedlings that had just grown, and her eyes moved from the pumpkin seedlings to the apple trees.

"Husband, this fruit tree seems to have been planted alive."

Her eyes were on the apple tree's freshly grown green leaves.

Zhang Yang said with a smile: "It was already dying when it was sent, and it can be half-dead until now, it is considered fateful, but fortunately, its root system is relatively intact." ”

As he spoke, he turned over the original warmth again.

When the seedlings are older, the crops are transplanted into the field.

Li Yue squinted and smiled: "How can you say that your fate is big, you can only say that your husband cultivates well." ”

"My daughter-in-law really can talk."

The couple looked at each other and smiled.

The happiest thing at the moment is to look forward to the early birth of the child, and hope that these seedlings can also thrive.

Zhang Yang took her hand and whispered, "Are you in a hurry that the child is born?" ”

"Mothers aren't in a hurry?"

Li Yue stretched out his hand to stroke his lower abdomen, and said: "Some people say that there are many hatreds in all dynasties. ”

"yes." Zhang Yang took her hand and walked among the newly opened fields, "There are too many things in this world that are unsatisfactory. ”

Women are more likely to be sentimental than men.

Now from her own situation, she thinks of the hateful and unsatisfactory things that happened in the past dynasties.

Zhang Yang said in a low voice: "Now is the best time for Lishan. ”

She smiled softly, "Well, what about the future?" ”

"It will be better in the future, and we will count the money in Lishan."

"The husband really only has money and pension in his heart."

"I'm a layman, so my dreams are more cheesy, I'm not a noble person, noble people live too tired, real people can live freely."

She covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

Husband and wife have been together for so many years, and they already know each other very well, and some words don't need to be said too clearly, you can know each other's meaning with a look.

Noticing that her pace slowed down, Zhang Yang noticed that she was tired of walking.

Recently, I have been moving around a lot, sitting and reading books in my spare time, and the time to teach my younger siblings has become shorter and shorter.

And the younger siblings are also playing happily these days.

Li Yue remembered that now they were just a momentary joy, and when she was free, she planned to make up for all the schoolwork she had left behind to her younger siblings.

At that time, it was their hard time.

"Bear two, bear three! I told you to sit, why did you sneak away again. Xiao Qingqing was losing his temper at the two little milk bears.

Not to mention whether the bear can understand human speech, Xiong Da sat next to this little master, and those milk bears could only honestly hang their heads and be counted down obediently.

Xiong Da is the largest bear in Lishan, and he is also the most humane and the most obedient to the little master.

After raising it for so long, it has long become a part of the family.

Xiao Qingqing said clearly: "Xiong Da, bring the rattan balls." ”

The bear twisted his fat body away, and in a short time he placed the rattan ball at the little master's feet.

The bear raised his chin and didn't want to look at the little bears, as if he was disgusted that they didn't look like bears.

Li Yue sighed at the fact that her daughter was counting bears.

Children always have imagination and imitate adults.

Zhang Yang is still very satisfied with this, this girl has begun to learn from adults, and she has learned well.
