Li Shimin was an arrogant emperor, and in the reputation of the outside, he was a benevolent and holy Khan who was admired by all people.

After all, this is to establish a good image.

Because the throne was not right, Li Shimin paid great attention to his words and deeds, and he was strict with himself, so it was not easy to get a good evaluation.

Zhang Yang felt that with his understanding of this emperor, he would make it clear to him that in addition to annoying the emperor, the future situation would only add to the blockage, and there would be no concessions in the food plan.

wrote a recital to clarify his worries, and asked his aunt to hand it over to Shangguanyi.

Let Shangguan Yi write another copy and send it to the court.

Serving as Taifu Siqing can be regarded as his most conscientious time.

On the path leading to the bottom of the mountain, Aunt Yang was carrying a basket of vegetables up the mountain and met Aunt Wang who was holding a piece of music.

"Is this the county marquis writing another chapter?"

Aunt Wang sighed: "Back then, I didn't see the county marquis write so many chapters."

Aunt Yang sighed, "This county marquis, I always don't care about doing things for Your Majesty, seeing that the county marquis is now busy with the crops in Guanzhong, and he is busy doing everything himself, and he has to write chapters from time to time." ”

The contradiction between the emperor and the county marquis was not a day or two.

The county marquis is such a person, if he wants to do things for the emperor, he would rather give up the entire Ministry of Rites than let it go, he has always had his own opinions and ideas, and he will not compromise with the emperor if he thinks it is right.

Aunt Yang said with a smile: "The princesses and princes like to eat meat all day long, and Her Royal Highness the princess instructed that the children should eat some vegetarian dishes, and they can't always eat meat." ”

The concert was sent to the court, but after three or two days, there was no reply.

It seems that this time the advice to His Majesty was unsurprisingly unresponsive.

With nothing to do, Zhang Yang looked at the files sent recently, and by August this year, the grain in various places could be harvested.

"Last year, Taiyuan produced 3.7 million stone of grain, Fanyang 2.2 million stone, the most of which was millet, wheat, and soybean, rice in the south, and wheat in Hebei."

This year's weather will only be more than usual.

Zhang Yang put down the file in distress and glanced at his daughter-in-law who was knitting clothes again, "Food prices are going to fall again." ”

Li Yue said with a smile: "Since we already know that the price of grain will fall, the DPRK and China will also know about it." ”

With a heartfelt sigh, Zhang Yang shook his head and said, "You can't wake up a person who pretends to be asleep, and you can't wake up the current inflated emperor." ”

Putting down the needle and thread in her hand, she asked curiously: "So you can only sit and watch the price of food fall?" ”

"I wrote a recital for your father, and I don't know if he will care, for the court, I only know that the more grain, the better, but this pressure will also overwhelm the farmers who farm, beans are easy to store, the price of wheat will not fall for the most part, and the price of millet and rice will definitely fall."

Relatively speaking, the prices of beans and wheat are the most stable.

Zhang Yang said: "Taifu Temple naturally has to look at the harvest of grain, but also pay attention to the price of grain, Taifu Temple only has the right to report, not the right to dispose of, we have done what we should do." ”

That's all Taifu Temple can do, and the next thing to see is the actions of the court.

Pick up the chapter on the table, this is the construction file of the Guanzhong River, there was a person named Zheng Guo who built the Zheng Guo Canal, Zheng Guo Canal west of the Jing River, continuous until the Luo River, this waterway benefited Guanzhong.

It created the current prosperity of Guanzhong, and also laid a solid foundation for the first emperor to unify the Central Plains.

More than 300 miles of waterways have turned a lot of originally barren land into fertile land.

More villagers were able to return to Guanzhong to farm, which increased food output and boosted the population.

Jingshui is a stone, its mud is several buckets, and irrigation and dung, long I have a millet and a food and clothing master, and the mouth of hundreds of millions.

This is Zheng Guoqu's contribution.

It was the site of the world's first large-scale canal dug to irrigate a field.

Zhang Yang looked at the records on the file and the description of the river, and now Zheng Guoqu still plays a vital role.

Open a map and compare it with the map of Guanzhong, no matter how you look at the hinterland of Qinchuan in the eight hundred miles, you can't feel right.

Xiao Qingqing fell asleep on the bear's back again, it was the time to grow her body, and she loved to sleep recently.

"Children don't know where the problem is, they always don't like to wear shoes, they love to wear straw sandals."

After that, Li Yue's eyes glared at the straw sandals on her husband's feet.

Zhang Yang smiled, "Set up rules for her another day, and make your daughter-in-law upset." ”

Li Yue pursed her lips in disbelief and continued to knit clothes, looking at the map in her hand for a while, she asked curiously: "Is there anything strange about this picture?" ”

Flattening the map, the various rivers in the hinterland of the Qinchuan River for eight hundred miles came into view, Zhang Yang took a sip of tea, "Don't you think something is strange when you look at it?" ”

"What's weird about this Qinchuan hinterland?"

Zhang Yang still shook his head, "It shouldn't be, I remember that there should be another waterway from the Jing River to Sanyuan County." ”

"Zheng Guoqu is east of the Jing River, when did you go north to Sanyuan."

A word woke up the person in the dream, Zhang Yang patted his head, "I'm confused, Jinghui Canal hasn't been excavated yet." ”

This Jinghui Canal was dug up in later generations to solve the drought.

Sometimes after getting used to it for a long time, I almost forget about it.

Looking at the map, I instinctively thought that there should be a river here, but now I feel that something is wrong.

Since the Song Dynasty, the water level in the hinterland of Guanzhong has gradually decreased, and soon the Jing River can not lead to water, Guanzhong has suffered from repeated droughts, so there will always be drought in Guanxi after the Song Dynasty.

Nowadays, the flow of the Jing River is not bad, and waterlogging is often occurring.

I don't know if Li Shimin will agree to build the Jinghui Canal to divert the waterway, so that the wasteland west of Sanyuan County will also become fertile soil.

Thinking that Taifu Temple only has the right to report, Zhang Yang felt a headache and felt very uncomfortable.

I was bored, so I could only put this map on the bookshelf, thinking that I would not be out of sight and out of mind, but if this Jinghui Canal was not built, sooner or later Guanzhong would be due to the drying up of the Jing River, which would lead to drought.

Drought will certainly be in the future generations, not in the present generation, but will also cause the population of Guanzhong to plummet, and will also make Guanzhong a barren land.

Distraught, Zhang Yang still wrote about the construction of the Jinghui Canal and sent it to the court for Tian Khan to see.

The two pieces of music before and after, there was no response for a long time after entering the court, Zhang Yang really wanted to go to the court to ask the heavenly khan, where did your heart of worrying about the country and the people go to make every effort to govern the country.

That's what I planned in my heart, my daughter-in-law was going to give birth at any time these days, so I could only put it aside first.

June in Guanzhong is the season of wheat harvesting, people come and go in the fields to harvest wheat, when the wind blows to Lishan, you can even smell the smell of grain.

Li Yue and Aunt Wang walked by the pool, and they couldn't stand anymore with a pain in their lower abdomen.

Hearing his daughter-in-law exclaim, Zhang Yang hurriedly ran forward to pick her up, "Are you going to give birth?" ”

Li Yue's face turned pale and nodded.

"The county marquis will send Her Royal Highness the princess into the room." Aunt Wang instructed her to go into the main house with Aunt Yang and start busy, picking up the hot water on the stove and preparing to deliver the baby.

The door was slammed shut, and Zhang Yang had to wait outside the room.

Seeing his daughter looking at herself, Zhang Yang also looked at her.

Xiao Qingqing raised her head and asked, "Is my mother going to give birth to a baby?" ”

Zhang Yang made his expression as relaxed as possible, and nodded in response.

After a while, the younger siblings also gathered around, waiting for the situation in the house.

From time to time, there was an exclamation in the house, Zhang Yang waited anxiously outside the door, and he couldn't bear to push open the door and walked in.

The aunts' movements are very quick and they cooperate very well.

Zhang Yang sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her pale face.

Just looking at it like this, Li Yue suddenly smiled.

"It's all this time, why are you still laughing?"

"I think it must be a son." Just after saying this, her face turned pale again, and cold sweat kept flowing down her forehead, enduring severe pain.

Half an hour later, at last the baby's cry was heard.

The aunt hugged the newborn child and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the county marquis, congratulations to Her Royal Highness the princess, we have a little marquis." ”

"Yes...... Is it? Li Yue took the child weakly, his face was full of happiness, but he was also very weak.

Aunt Wang said again: "The child's birth is going well, so I'll go to Doctor Sun." ”

Aunt Yang skillfully cleaned up the house, changed the bedding, took it to be cleaned, and then opened the doors and windows, ventilated for a while before walking out of the room with a basin.

Everything went smoothly, and the aunts' movements were orderly.

The door opened, allowing the younger siblings to enter.

The child was lying in swaddling clothes, and the younger siblings gathered around to watch the newborn child.

Xiao Qingqing climbed onto the bed, looked at his younger brother and said curiously, "It's so small." ”

Li Yue said tiredly: "You were so young when you were a child. ”

"Then I must have been better looking than my brother when I was a child."

Li Lizhi got up and said, "Sister Huang wants to rest, and go outside, don't disturb." ”

Seeing that Li Zhi still wanted to take a second look, Li Lizhi left with his ear, and Li Zhi still cried out in pain along the way.

Xiao Qingqing also left.

Li Yue looked at his newborn son, his nose was inhaling and exhaling hard, "Look how hard his breathing is, give him a name." ”

Still thinking about the name, Aunt Wang had already taken the Emperor Taishang and Doctor Sun to the front of the house.

Sun Simiao checked the pulse, looked at the child again, reached out to touch the child's chest, felt the heartbeat, and nodded: "This child will be very strong in the future, the production will go smoothly, the mother and child are fine, and the old man can prepare some medicinal materials to replenish qi and blood." ”

Zhang Yang hurriedly said: "There is a miracle doctor of Laosun." ”

Sun Simiao said again: "There are still a few women in the village who are also about to give birth, the old man will leave first, hurry to the next one to have a look, and someone will send the medicinal materials later." ”

After sending Doctor Sun away, Li Yuanzheng thought about it, "What do I want to seal him?" ”

Xiao Qingqing was born as the county lord, and was given Wu Deyin, and the honor of her daughter can be imagined.

Now that he has another great-grandson, the emperor is very annoyed, and finally he nodded, "How about I make him the Marquis of Guanxi?" ”

"Wait." Zhang Yang was suddenly unhappy, "Emperor Taishang, I'm still just a Marquis of Lishan, my son is a Marquis of Guanxi, and my son's title is bigger than that of his father, this is not suitable." ”

Li Yuan fell into deep thought again, and perhaps felt that it was inappropriate, so he asked, "Does this child have a name?"

Zhang Yang also sat down melancholy, unconsciously already the father of two children, and replied: "I haven't thought about it yet." ”

An old man and a young man sat at the door, each lost in thought.

Li Tai and Li Xiaogong came in a hurry, he was embarrassed, "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law!" The royal sister gave birth? ”

Zhang Yang nodded slowly, "It's a son." ”

Li Tai still has a lot of oil stains on his body, some sand in his hair, and dirty clothes, he looks like he has just come out of the blacksmith's workshop, and he took out a token in his arms, "This is the token of the King of Wei, seeing it is like seeing this king." ”

Stretched out his hand to take the token, Zhang Yang was not polite to the fat man.

Li Xiaogong was still chewing mutton in his mouth, "I knew that your family was going to have a kid, and the old man guessed well." ”

As he spoke, he took out a stack of contracts, "A certain family of 300 acres of fertile land has been given to this child." ”

Zhang Yang was surprised: "Three hundred acres of fertile land? King of Hejian, you are ......"

Li Xiaogong also sat down on the side, "These fields are just north of the Jing River, and you are Taifu Siqing, so you need the fields to arrange planting crops, which is a convenient matter." ”

"Uncle Wang thinks well, so that his own fields can grow grapes first, and both families can benefit."

Li Xiaogong smiled heartily, "Just plant grapes, three hundred acres of grapes, hahaha!" Very good. ”

He smiled heartily, as if he had made a wise decision.

This is a wise approach, and after this year's summer harvest, food prices will inevitably fall, and this decline will not change until next summer.

In this way, it is better to plant some other crops to preserve the value of the acre, grapes are of course the best, the first to respond to Lishan, to cultivate fruits and vegetables, that is, the first to eat crabs.

Li Xiaogong's abacus is playing well.

Noticing Zhang Yang and Li Tai's gaze, Li Xiaogong's face was impressive, "Actually, Shangguan Yi proposed to the old man, and I listened to these few words." ”

This is the first month of the building near the water.

With first-hand information from Taifu Temple, coupled with the official etiquette judging the situation, it is not surprising to make such a decision.

Li Xiaogong definitely couldn't think of such a smart decision, and now that he said that it was suggested by Shangguan Yi, he didn't think it was strange.

Li Yuan said impatiently, "Haven't you kid thought of a name yet?" ”

Zhang Yang raised his eyes to look at Li Tai, Li Xiaogong and Li Yuan, and sighed wistfully with his hands, "Please also ask the King of Hejian County, the Emperor Taishang to give me a word." ”

Li Yuan stroked his beard and said: "Yue'er has not been easy since she was a child, don't look at her weak when she was a child but her heart is tenacious, I will give her a heart word." ”

Li Xiaogong pondered for a moment and said, "Everything is for peace, Lishan is for peace, you Zhangyang for peace for Lishan, you will give a word for peace." ”

Li Tai finally read out, "Zhang Xin'an." ”

It is best for a family of four generations to live together, Li Yuan was very happy, and said boldly: "I am going to get drunk tonight." ”

It's a good name, and it sounds like an ordinary person's name.

With this name, it is enough to reflect the extraordinaryness of this child, and the two words in this name are taken by the current Emperor Taishang and the King of Hejian County.

In Chang'an City, in the palace, Li Shimin also heard that Yue'er had given birth to a child, and he hesitated: "Zhang Xin'an? ”

The prince replied: "It is the word taken by the Emperor Taishang and the king of Hejian County." ”

Li Shimin shook his head when he heard this, "How can this father name his child at will." ”

The prince said again: "The Emperor Taishang also said that he would give this newborn child the title of Guanxi Hou. ”

Zhang Qingqing's little county lord was just that, but now the prince's son has not been given the title, how can he give Zhang Yang's son a Guanxi Hou first, "Father is really nonsense." ”
