The original water level of Huaqing Pond has risen, and the water level has risen a lot after the replenishment of rainwater, and the rain will not stop for three or two days, and there will be more rainy days in September.

This year is another rainy season, which is worth rejoicing.

For Taifu Temple, there is an autumn harvest after the summer harvest, not all crops are harvested in the summer, Huainan rice, Liaodong sorghum, beans, persimmons, and even pay attention to the oranges in the south, cabbage will be planted in late August, and radishes will be planted in September.

In the library pavilion, Zhang Yang put down the hammer in his hand and took down a roll of paper from the bookshelf, "This is our Lishan manufacturing technique." ”

A roll of paper was spread out on the ground, Li Shimin frowned and looked at the details on the drawing, and said, "It's complicated." ”

Zhang Yang said with a smile: "Yes, this is the drawing used in the early stage of the assembly line before, and it is indeed very complicated. ”

In terms of craftsmanship, Yan Liben may be able to see it, and it is strange that His Majesty can understand it, maybe he doesn't even understand the lines marked above.

Finally, Li Shimin retracted his gaze, "I saw that the saplings planted outside were very good. ”

Zhang Yang looked outside the library and explained, "I plan to plant an apple tree in the library so that our family can have apples to eat." ”

"Your family?"

"If Your Majesty likes it, I will send some to the palace in the future."

Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction, "Why do you want to insert branches in potted plants." ”

"Those branches are olive trees, I can't guarantee that I will harvest if I plant one, I plan to use its branches to sprout and plant a few more, in fact, to give myself more chances to try my luck."

"You're doing a good job as a Taifu Siqing."

"Auntie is already cooking, Your Majesty should stay and eat, now there are many new dishes on our family's dinner table, and many crops planted last spring have just been harvested."

"Okay, then I'll have a meal with you."

The emperor looked a little reluctant, even if he wanted to eat in his heart, he would put on a reluctant look.

It was just time for dinner, and the two aunts were already busy.

Empress Changsun hugged Xin'an, who had just been born, with a smile on her face, but when the child was in the arms of a stranger, she would cry.

had no choice but to hand it over to Li Yue, and when he arrived in his mother's arms, he was much more settled.

"This child usually plays around, which makes the queen mother laugh." Li Yue comforted the child and explained.

"It's good to make some trouble, it's good to make some trouble." Empress Eldest Sun whispered.

The little son is by the side of the queen and Her Majesty on weekdays, and now she has so many playmates when she arrives in Lishan, Xiao Qingqing is riding on the back of a bear with her, and the two girls are having a lot of fun.

Li Lizhen, Xiao Wu, and Xu Hui helped deal with Lishan's account books.

Li Yue attaches great importance to Xu Hui's growth, Xu Hui is very talented, especially in the way of management, she leads the tea planting of her mother's family in the East China Sea from afar, and often replies to the family.

In the name of Taifu Temple, it can be much more convenient with Zhang Yang's help, and the tea planting of the Donghai Xu family in Jiangnan East Road has also been on the road, and now there are more than 2,000 acres of mountain tea planting, and the results will be seen next year.

The mountains are not easy to grow grain, and the local government is willing to use it to grow tea.

When the aunt served the meal, the three girls came back to eat.

Li Shimin looked at the dining table, there was soup made of peas, fried cowpeas, and some cabbage and bitter gourd......

All kinds of dishes are the results of Taifu Temple this year.

Li Shimin took a bite of cabbage, "Well, this dish is better than lotus cabbage." ”

Li Zhi said obediently: "Father, children often grow vegetables with their brothers-in-law. ”

Empress Changsun smiled and didn't speak, Li Shimin feasted on it, and the emperor, who was tired of eating meat, was very interested in these novel vegetables.

Gao Yang said again: "Father, there is mung bean soup after the meal." ”

The prince has been standing not far away, and it is rare to see His Majesty's appetite so good, and he has not even drunk alcohol today.

At a meal, the emperor ate heartily, and the rain outside the house was still there.

After the meal, the children moved for a while and then went to take a nap.

Zhang Yang boiled the boiling water and poured hot tea, "Your Majesty uses tea." ”

Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction, "After autumn, I want to hold a banquet in the palace, and I can bring out these dishes and show the results of Taifu Temple to the ministers of the court." ”

Zhang Yang said with a smile: "Taifu Temple needs to promote vegetables in the future, since it is used at banquets, I hope that the court can give us the right to promote vegetables, so that the local townships and counties in Guanzhong can relax the restrictions on fields." ”

"How big of a field do you need?"

"In fact, as long as each household has three or five points of land to grow vegetables for themselves, without affecting grain production, and the local government should develop crop trading and increase the value of crops and acres."

Li Shimin took a sip of tea and thought about it carefully, this kid is still the same, but if he asks for anything, he will get some price back, his submission is just an exchange, and he is not a sincere loyal minister.

I could only sigh at this and said helplessly: "I will consider these things." ”

The response of the DPRK and China is slow, and it is not necessarily how high the vision of the Heavenly Khan is.

At present, Li Xiaogong wants to become a large grape grower with grapes on 300 acres of land, and he also asks for grape seedlings from outside the customs in advance.

As long as these 300 acres of grapes can be grown and produce enough value, then the value of the acres will also increase.

When people find that acres of land are more valuable and can choose to grow a wider variety of crops, this may also be used to slow down land annexation.

Professional people do professional things, whether it is Wang Anshi in later generations, or Shang Yang in the past, the seriousness or severity of land annexation is related to national strength.

Increasing the value of acres of land can provide cash crops that local villagers rely on for their survival, rather than blindly rolling up in grain prices.

Although in essence it may not change anything.

At least Zhang Yang feels that he can improve some of them, and he is not a capable minister of governing the world, on the governance of today's Fang Xuanling is the pillar, on the management of the court, there is Gao Shilian in the front and the eldest grandson Wuji in the back.

On the front, as the benchmark of the court, Zheng Gong is heroic and upright.

On the art of war, there are also General Li Jing, Qin Qiong, and Wei Chigong in all parts of the Central Plains.

They are all unique in their respective fields.

There are too many powerful people in this world, and there are too many capable people in Li Shimin's hands.

As for himself, if he doesn't understand political affairs, he just makes jokes in the court, and if he doesn't make a big disaster, it's good, but he still talks about land annexation?

Unable to solve the land problem directly, Zhang Yang wondered if he could change his thinking, at least try first, it is not right to be pessimistic.

Today's development of Lishan is mainly based on industrial production, whether you are this Taifu Siqing or not, you can't give up farming.

In addition to grapes, pumpkins, eggplants, courgettes, and cabbage are all good crops that can be grown extensively.

Zhang Yang drank the tea and suddenly smiled.

Li Shimin was surprised: "What are you laughing at?" ”

Zhang Yang looked at the rain scene in front of him and slowly put down the teacup in his hand, "I'm wondering if I can sit in the position of Taifu Temple for the rest of my life." ”

Li Shimin bowed his head and said: "If you can do better, I can let you stay in the position of Taifu Siqing for the rest of your life." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

is both a monarch and a son-in-law, there are many contradictions between the monarch and the minister, and there are also many interests in the relationship between the son-in-law.

The queen is very worried about the relationship between His Majesty and Zhang Yang, and it is best that the two will not quarrel and be harmonious, and she is worried that they will quarrel again.

However, since Zhang Yang withdrew from the court, there have been few disputes between His Majesty and him.

was silent for a long time, and he was tired of looking at the unchanged rain scene in front of him, Li Shimin was surprised that he could sit motionless for so long.

"Turkic indoctrination has begun."

Zhang Yang nodded, "Good thing." ”

"At the moment, there is another problem, they are arguing endlessly, on the matter of indoctrination, Wei Zheng advocated educating the Turkic people to return to the Heavenly Khan, and abandon the bad habits of the Turks, the eldest grandson Wuji is very opposed to this, he feels that the Turks are the Turks, and they are still Turks if they abandon the bad habits."

The teacher warned yesterday that you should ask less about the affairs of the DPRK and China.

Li Shimin always likes to give people problems, Zhang Yang held his hands and looked very melancholy, and he didn't speak for a long time.

"Originally, I also wanted to ask Xu Jingzong about this matter, but this person has been much more cautious recently, and it seems that he is unwilling to participate in the dispute between the court and China."

Zhang Yang said distressedly: "Lao Xu is still negotiating with the Tubo people about the resettlement of the Duhufu, and most of them can't spare their energy. ”

"So what do you think?"

Li Shimin asked again.

The emperor will take advantage of people, especially the talents of his courtiers, and he is always thinking about squeezing out Zhang Yang's value.

With a solemn expression for a long time, Zhang Yang said helplessly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it will probably not be good to force the bull head to drink water, huh?" Isn't Xu Jingzong's policy for the indoctrination of Tibet very good? ”

"What do you mean?"

Li Shimin asked again.

"At present, there is a ready-made method, Xu Jingzong has arranged a lot of detailed works in Tubo, so that the heirs of the big ranch owners in Tubo are all interested in the Tang Dynasty, so that they know that only by following the Tang Dynasty can they live a good life, Chang'an is a holy land, and the Central Plains is their spiritual system, so it is enough, as long as they feel that Lu Dongzan has a trace of the Tang Dynasty that wants to fight, without the Central Plains, they will be in chaos within the Tubo people."

After that, Xiao Wu came with a bowl of soup and medicine, "This is the soup that my aunt boiled." ”

Zhang Yang took the decoction and drank it, the medicine was very bitter, so bitter that he frowned.

At the same time, a bowl of soup was also served, and Li Shimin picked up the soup and drank it.

The two of them looked at each other very tacitly.

Zhang Yang said curiously: "Your Majesty drank this ......"

Li Shimin poured down the decoction in the bowl, "The medicinal materials that calm the nerves and replenish qi, the medicinal materials prepared by Lu Zhaolin, what are you drinking?" ”

Xiao Wu took the empty bowl and left quickly, Zhang Yang wiped his mouth and smiled: "The fire is calming, the prescriptions and medicinal materials given by Doctor Sun are a bowl in the afternoon and at night." ”

Li Shimin smiled in astonishment, smiling as if he was gloating, "No, you have also reached the age of drinking decoction." ”

"Alas......" Zhang Yang sighed first, "The child has just been born for half a month, and he has not been able to sleep well these days and take care of him, and he has not had a good rest for some days." ”

"I said a long time ago that I could send the palace maids here, so that you can be more stable."

I really don't want the palace maids in the palace, I don't know what the people in Li Shimin's harem are like, if the palace maids are invited into the house, I don't know when there will be a few more people in the backyard.

If you don't want to live a chicken, the simpler the better.

Life has always been watched and taken care of, just thinking about Zhang Yang makes me feel disgusted, and people like the emperor who are not very mentally normal will get used to it.

Zhang Yang shook his head and said: "I'm used to being at ease, and besides, I say that my children take care of themselves, be a good father, experience the experience that a father should have, and don't miss every moment of children's growth, this is not a happy thing in the world." ”

Li Shimin denied: "The happiness of the world should be glory and wealth. ”

If you want to be glorious and rich, you have to dedicate all your body and mind to the emperor, of course the emperor has to say this, and he must say this, because he wants to sweat for the society all over the world.

Zhang Yang poured tea for him, and said: "This is the difference between me and Your Majesty, I am used to being poor, and I think that chatting with neighbors under the tree at the head of the village is not a happy thing." ”

"But Your Majesty thinks that if you want to be happy, you must have power and wealth, and this is the difference between me and Your Majesty."

Zhang Yang put the kettle back on the stove and let out a sigh, "I can't support the wall under the mud, and I laugh." ”

"Is it really a coincidence that Zhang Da'an won Goguryeo?"

Zhang Yang drank tea and looked at the emperor.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Li Shimin stood up boredly, ready to see what changes have happened in Lishan over the past year, "Well, what is the extra room for?" ”

"This is my workshop, which is used to make furniture."

"With your current family background, you still have to make your own furniture?"

"Your Majesty doesn't know, my parents are craftsmen, and they have been obsessed with it since they were young, and a craftsman should have his own workshop and a little hobby."

Li Zhi was playing skateboard and just skateboarded, and outside the workshop was a flat open field, where Li Lizhi and Xiao Wu and Xiao Hui practiced with their aunts.

Usually, Li Zhi also likes to skateboard here, and he interjected: "My brother-in-law is obsessed with this place, and it takes a long time to come out after entering the workshop." ”

Li Shimin pushed the door and walked in, and what caught his eye was a strange instrument, and there was a lot of iron on a table, and there were also strange iron tools on the cabinet next to it.

"There is no car here, how can I come to the workshop."

"There are lathes, the lathes under are not perfect, and I plan to build three or two more lathes, after all, this place is so spacious."

The emperor didn't know how to work in handicrafts, and he didn't know anything about hardware craftsmanship, he just looked at it carefully.

There was a stack of drawings on the table, Li Shimin looked at them one by one, and then the drawings on the table were spread out haphazardly.

You obviously don't understand, and you mess up the order of the drawings, Zhang Yang closed his eyes and calmed down his anger, people are still in a state of fire, don't be angry with him, just endure it first.
