This Zheng Gong was not interested in the cultivation of crops in Taifu Temple, and he didn't even look at it.

The emperor must persevere, fight for what should be fought for, and not give up and not give in.

Li Tai whispered: "This Brother Wen will continue to cause trouble to my brother-in-law." ”

Zhang Yang pondered about the affairs of the court, the imperial examination was about to be carried out again, the functions and powers of the capital protectorate had finally landed, and most of the indoctrination policies still had to be presided over by Zheng Gong.

At the same time, Zheng Gong's status should be better, and many matters in the DPRK and China are now presided over by Fang Xiang, Zhao Guogong, and Zheng Gong.

Previously, Zheng Gong had been presiding over the affairs of the Imperial Historical Tower, so Zheng Gong had always been weak in terms of imperial power.

If Zheng Gong is in charge of the power of education again, I think his power in the court will be much more stable, so that Zheng Gong's position in the court can be better, and he will have more things to control.

At least compared to the eldest grandson Wuji, it can be balanced.

Li Tai followed in his brother-in-law's footsteps, "Gong Zheng is nearly sixty years old now. ”

Zhang Yang sighed: "Yes, most of the beard and hair are white." ”

Wei Zheng is a very stubborn person, and he is also a person who is outspoken and fearless, when a person is not even afraid of death, the emperor can't do anything about him.

At the beginning, Wei Zheng was working in the hands of Li Jiancheng, and after the Xuanwumen Incident, Fang Xuanling introduced him to His Majesty.

is also because of Fang Xiang's painstaking efforts, Fang Xiang may feel that the DPRK needs a person like Wei Zheng, such a person can be a benchmark or a mirror.

There are fewer flattering people in the DPRK and China, and there are even more upright people like Wei Zheng.

has a positive impact on the court, which may be the original intention of Fang Xiang at that time.

Compared with Li Shimin's open-mindedness and wide range of views, it is natural that we cannot underestimate the people in the DPRK and China.

Zhang Yang thought about it in his heart, and if he had the opportunity, he really wanted to have a good chat with Fang Xiang, this right-hand man in Li Shimin's hands.

He is not the same as the eldest grandson Wuji, and he is not the same as Wei Zheng.

If the eldest grandson Wuji will become more powerful with power, and Fang Xuanling is the opposite, a person who is dedicated to the community will only use his ability for the community after all.

The drums in Chang'an City were bursting, and Tian Khan was also a general of Tiance back then, so the emperor was stunned to run the imperial examination, and there was an extra wind of martial arts.

Li Shimin's imperial examination was only carried out in Chang'an City, and official schools were set up in various places to teach students, and students could come to Chang'an with a road guide explaining their household registration and origin, and a certificate from the county magistrate in various places.

Nowadays, the scale of the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty is not large, and everything is simple.

Li Shimin is willing to do this kind of thing of collecting talents, so he also hopes that there will be more and more talented people in Chang'an City.

Gather all the talents of the Central Plains in Chang'an City.

After the middle of May in the 11th year of Zhenguan, the weather began to heat up.

On Lishan, Zhang Yang was still busy in the workshop, pulling the trigger of the flintlock pistol, the gunpowder in the chamber of the gun burned, and the bullet came out with an explosion.

A flintlock pistol was fixed on a shelf, Zhang Yang reached out and tested the temperature on the chamber of the gun, which was a little hot, but it would not burn out the shell.

Putting the gunpowder back in, Zhang Yang tried again, and there was a crisp explosion in the chamber of the gun, and iron particle bullets came out.

The bullet is round, and because of the excitation device, if the cylindrical bullet is exploded, it will tumble out.

Spherical bullets are comparatively more useful.

Zhang Yang looked at the bullets on the wall, it was not deep into the wall, and the lethality within 100 meters could at least be guaranteed.

The breech of the flintlock pistol was made of iron, and the polished iron shell glistened in the sun, making it his first relatively successful flintlock pistol.

Holding the gun in both hands, shoot again, the recoil is still there, and the muzzle will shake when it explodes, because the amount of medicine used is not much, fortunately, it is stable, but the power is not too great, and the bullet can be picked up and reused.

Zhang Yang continued to carve on the body of the gun, intending to carve some patterns on his first successful flintlock pistol, which might rust in three or two years and be obsolete by better guns.

But at least let Datang have the first flintlock pistol, and the first flintlock pistol that can be used should be more beautiful and good-looking.

"Well, it's good that Datang finally has a flintlock pistol." Zhang Yang muttered to himself.

Open the window to let the smoke in the workshop clear, and clean up the parts next to the lathe.

Zhang Yang took the charcoal from his ear, took his drawings to the study, and continued to sketch the drawings.

Li Yue sniffed the smell of gunpowder on his body carefully, frowned, and said, "Husband's gun has been made?" ”

"yes." Zhang Yang looked back at her frowning brows, since she was a child, this daughter-in-law didn't like to make some hurtful utensils, and when she thought of the previous sleeve arrow, she had never used it since she made it, and now she is still idle at home.

Li Yue picked up the flintlock pistol placed on the table, "It's heavy." ”

Zhang Yang put down the pen in his hand and said with a smile: "I used a lot of fine iron casting, and the grip is still a wooden handle, but the barrel of the gun is all made of fine iron." ”

She slowly put down the gun and said in a low voice, "My husband's craftsmanship has improved a lot. ”

Seeing that the calluses on the husband's hands have disappeared a lot, and the new calluses that have grown on the side of the thumb recently, after the first two years of recuperation, in fact, the calluses on the hands of the husband have disappeared a lot.

But the new cocoons have grown a few more, but fortunately they are not big, which are all ground out in the workshop.

Li Yue looked at the newly grown calluses, sat down and said in a low voice: "These hands have finally been raised better, and now they have calluses again." ”

Zhang Yang said with a smile: "These are the hands of laborers, which shows that our days are still the same hard, and we are working hard for a better tomorrow." ”

Even if you don't work for a while, the calluses on your hands will come off after three or five months, and some new skin will grow, but these big hands will still be just as rough.

This roughness will never go away, Li Yue said with a smile: "Qingqing said when she was a child that her father's hands were very piercing. ”

"Is there one?"

"She's never told her husband."

Zhang Yang thought about it carefully, "Don't look at my daughter who is still young now, she is already very clever, she said bad things about her father and mother behind her back, who taught her?" ”

"Every holiday, we go to visit the emperor's grandfather, and I don't know what the emperor's grandfather is talking about holding her."

The relationship was taught by the daughter-in-law's imperial grandfather, Zhang Yang thought in his heart, "Your imperial grandfather should not teach her to rebel." ”

Hearing this, Li Yue leaned on his waist and laughed softly.

It's also a good thing to be pregnant.

It was Li Yuan, who was the most successful of the anti-Sui forces of the Eighteen Route Princes back then, and the only one who was successful.

The old people like to tell the glorious deeds of the year.

But if he told the story of the rebellion, he was afraid that it would have an impact on his daughter.

What if, my daughter also wants to rebel after hearing it, after all, it's such an exciting thing.

"Dad, mother, what are you talking about?" Xiao Qingqing didn't know when she had entered the study, she raised her head and asked curiously.

Zhang Yang picked her up, "Why are you here?" ”

There are rules in the family, especially daughters and younger siblings are not allowed to enter the study at will, unless there is something important.

Xiao Qingqing pointed to the door and said, "Uncle Jin Wang and Uncle Li Ming said that they would go to the farm in Lantian County to catch chickens and ducklings to raise in Lishan. ”

Hearing this, knowing that Li Zhi and Li Ming were going to catch chickens and ducklings, Zhang Yang slapped his forehead in distress, "Let Auntie go." ”

Li Yue also nodded worriedly, and said a word or two to the aunt outside the door.

Aunt Yang hurriedly left when she heard this.

Zhang Yang thought about it again, hugged Xiao Qingqing and said, "Why are they going to catch chickens and ducklings?" ”

Xiao Qingqing explained in a low voice: "It is said that it is raised and eaten." ”

Childlike innocence is beautiful, who did not have a such childhood.

When the aunt brought the two back, the chicks and ducklings were returned to the farm.

There is no shortage of chicken and duck meat at home, Zhang Yang looked at the two princes with drooping heads, and asked, "Why do you want to catch chickens and ducklings?" ”

Li Ming lowered his head and replied aggrievedly: "If you want to raise it, kill and eat." ”

Zhang Yang bowed his head and said, "Really? ”

Facing his brother-in-law's questioning tone, Li Zhi lowered his head and sniffed aggrievedly, "Actually, I just want to roast and eat it myself, and I want to catch the big one and eat it, and if I can't catch it, I want to catch the small one." ”

"I don't think I can't catch it, it's that you two can't beat it."

Li Zhi became more and more aggrieved.

"One person writes a review, at least 100 words." Zhang Yang said casually.

Li Zhi and Li Ming sat down obediently and began to write a review.

The punishment is not big, if they can understand, it is fine, some things have to be rules from an early age, I don't know how Li Shimin teaches children, at least in Lishan, some things can be done or not, we must distinguish clearly.

Zhang Yang said again: "After writing the review, I will punish you to clean up the room, there can be no garbage, the bedding must be folded neatly, and Aunt Yang can rest if she is allowed." ”

Li Zhi wailed, and the houses in the family were all princesses and princes.

Li Zhi, Li Fu, and Li Ming live in one room, and the princesses live in one room.

Li Lizhen had her own room last year, the same as Xiao Wu and Xu Hui.

After writing the review, they can eat, Zhang Yang looked at the review of the two and there were still many mistakes, and saw that their attitude of admitting mistakes was okay, so forget it.

"If you do it again next time, you won't be so polite."

Seeing his brother-in-law's serious expression, Li Zhi and Li Ming nodded stunned, and Gao Yang and Qinghe counted them together.

After the meal, when the younger brothers and sisters were resting, Zhang Yang came to the room after washing, laid the floor, and the couple and daughter slept like this for four months.

I've slept on the floor for four months, and I'm used to it.

Zhang Yang lay down and relaxed his body, took a deep breath and said, "Let's see if these two boys will do it again in the future, if there is a next time, they won't let them go so easily." ”

The daughter was lying on the bed and still playing with puzzles, all kinds of puzzles could make her play for a long time, and her lotus root-like legs shook again and again.

I have a daughter at home, and there are some decorations in the room that girls like.

Zhang Yang looked at the ceiling of his house, "I kind of hope it's my son now." ”

Li Yue, who was still looking at the account book, said in a low voice: "I gave Xiaohui 30,000 yuan." ”

She arranged all the money in the family, and her daughter-in-law held the financial power of the entire Lishan, Zhang Yang was curious: "Give her so much money?" What is it to do? ”

"I looked at the files of Taifu Temple in Fujun's study, which recorded tea planting, Huainan, Lingnan, and even Shudi, but they were all scattered planting, but not on a large scale."

Li Yue put away the account book and said: "Xiaohui's family can not use much silver, the first two years after buying some mountains and planting a lot of tea, now if you want more mountains to grow tea, you can't get more silver, all of this is Xiaohui's mother is doing, giving her the silver money is hoping that they can buy more mountains to grow tea." ”

Li Yue said again: "If you want to talk about the disciples' abilities, in addition to mathematics and articles, if she can make better achievements in business, I plan to hand over part of the family's business to her to arrange." ”

Xu Hui is a very smart child and can also be calculating.

Among the disciples in the family, Xu Hui is the most outstanding one.

Lizhi is a slow learner, but she has perseverance and perseverance.

Xiao Wu is very talented in mathematics, but he has shortcomings in his articles, and his bias in arts and sciences is very serious.

In contrast, Xu Hui's development is more comprehensive.

Li Yue said again: "The 30,000 guan is handed over to Xiaohui, she can go to the treasury at any time to get the silver money, until the 30,000 guan is used up, this money is not given to her for free, if she can become a big tea merchant in the south of the Yangtze River, Lishan can get the forty percent of Xu's tea in the East China Sea, if you don't do it well, this money will be regarded as a failed experience, and it can also make Xiaohui grow." ”

"So no matter whether Xiaohui's attempt this time fails, whether it is successful or not, you will give her a part of the family's property."

Zhang Yang figured out his daughter-in-law's thoughts.

The family is rich, and Li Yue is the head of Lishan, so it is not impossible for her to use 30,000 yuan to try Xiaohui.

The next day, it was a little cold in the morning, but the wind was quite comfortable on the body.

The children were having breakfast, Zhang Yang was eating a piece of cake, and his eyes were looking at his daughter-in-law and Xiaohui, who were talking in a low voice, each looking at a book in their hands.

Look at what you're talking about.

If Xu Hui really wants to seek an industry, with Li Yue's guidance, it will be twice the result with half the effort.

After a while, seeing her walk in front of him, Zhang Yang was still chewing a cake in his mouth, "How did you talk to your teacher?" ”

Xu Hui hugged the scroll and said, "How did Master arrange the cotton trade in the first place? ”

"It's nothing more than sending people to watch Gaochang, using Gaochang as a base to let them develop first, and after they have enough strength to gain a foothold in the Western Regions, they will have the ability to protect their property, and then hire people to start planting cotton."

Having said this, seeing that this girl was still looking at herself, Zhang Yang finished eating the cake in her mouth, picked up the mutton soup again, and there were some green onions on the mutton soup, and after taking a sip, he said, "Is there anything else you don't understand?" ”

"How is cotton grown?"

Zhang Yang sat on the edge of the house with a bowl in one hand, and took another sip of broth, "At the beginning, Gaochang used a lot of Western Turkic locals to plant. ”

Xu Hui nodded and said: What is the water, soil and weather, the locals know best, and they need locals to grow crops in the local area. ”

"Well, use professional people to do professional things, learn from experience, and make overall arrangements."

She wrote these words down in her booklet, nodded again, and said, "Well, the teacher said it very simply. ”

Xiaohui actually showed dissatisfaction with these words, as if she was perfunctory, Zhang Yang smiled in amazement.
