Chapter 696: Heavenly Khan's pride is shattered

Handing over the vegetable basket, Zhang Yang said with a smile: "I hope you don't dislike these vegetables." ”

Wang Gonggong shirked and said: "The salted duck eggs sent by the county marquis last time have not been eaten yet, and now I really dare not accept these old slaves." ”

"It's just for you and the palace people in the palace to eat, talk about it and express your heart, and then send some to Your Majesty."

Now the prince's face has eased.

"The old slave came this time to bring His Majesty's message, His Royal Highness the King of Wei and Yan Liben's daughter Yan Shi got married in November this year, and Lu Guogong should be an example as the prince of the country, and ordered his son to marry the girl of the restaurant."

Zhang Yang took the will and said with a smile: "Thank you to the princess." ”

He whispered: "There is also the matter of firearms, and His Majesty asked the old slave to ask, I don't know ...... the county marquis."

Zhang Yang hurriedly said: "I'll send it in two days." ”

"Well, the old slave should also report to Your Majesty."

The prince never went back empty-handed every time he came, and this time he left with a cartload of vegetables and a basket in his hand.

Don't think about it, so many dishes can't be eaten in the palace, and most of them will be given to His Majesty as a New Year's gift to the courtiers.

The people in Guanzhong are industrious, spring and summer are busy farming seasons, and many things will be arranged after autumn or winter.

The marriage of the prince should also be arranged at the time of the slack of farming.

Farming is as important as it is to Taifu Temple, and only when the farming is slack can the court and the community spare manpower to prepare and arrange matters.

So Li Tai's marriage was also scheduled for this winter.

Zhang Yang handed him the will in his hand, "Your father has agreed, and on the day you get married, Chu Mo will also get married together, and it will be done in Lishan." ”

Li Tai smiled: "Thank you, brother-in-law." ”

"What are you doing these days?"

"What else can he do? Walk! Let's go see him. ”

Zhang Yang nodded, "It's okay." ”

The business of the liquor store on the edge of Lishan has always been very good, and before he reached the door of the tavern, he saw Chu Mo sitting alone outside the liquor store with his head hanging and not knowing what he was thinking.

It wasn't until the two of them approached, covering the sunlight he was soaking in, that Cheng Chumo slowly raised his head, he now also had a beard, and there were still a few scars on his face.

Seeing this, it was a woman scratching it, and Li Tai also squatted down and whispered: "Brother Chu Mo, you have been beaten again." ”

Cheng Chumo nodded sadly, "Some people talk about me and her being husband and wife, and a certain family nodded, and she beat her severely." ”

Li Tai laughed, took out the will and handed it to him, "Father has issued a decree to let you marry this restaurant girl, and she will be your wife in the future, and she will not dare to beat you." ”

Hearing this, he quickly took over the will, opened Huang Juan's eyes widened and looked at it for a long time.

Cheng Chumo then put away his will with a solemn expression, "A certain family forgot." ”

Li Tai was curious: "What did you forget?" ”

He held his forehead in pain, "Illiterate." ”

Zhang Yang also sat down on the side with his hands in his hands, and the three of them faced the sun together, looking at the flat Guanzhong Qinchuan in the distance.

The three of them sighed in unison, who didn't have a few bad friends, who didn't have three or two friends who had died.

Cheng Chumo said worriedly: "It's not that she doesn't dare to hit a certain family, it's that a certain family can't beat her, she is skilled, and the whip is like thunder." ”

Hearing this, Li Tai patted him on the shoulder, "Chu Mo, you have been beaten since you were a child, why do you have to be beaten after marriage?" ”

Cheng Chumo didn't squeak again, and the three of them fell silent.

Obviously it is a great joy, this time even if he wants to beat Kong Yingda's granddaughter, it can't go against His Majesty's will.

However, Chu Mo was not too happy because of this, but became more anxious, and his legs kept shaking.

Li Tai held down his trembling legs, and then remained silent.

In the end, the eyes of both of them fell on Zhang Yang, the only one who had experience in the past.

"What are you two watching me do?" Zhang Yang moved his position awkwardly and kept his distance from this fat man.

Li Tai was curious: "Brother-in-law, what is it like after getting married." ”

Cheng Chumo also couldn't stop nodding, nodding like pounding garlic, with a demented face.

First coughed his throat, Zhang Yang took a sip of tea, "After getting married, life is life, life is nothing more than those things, it's very simple." ”

"Really?" Cheng Chumo frowned and said nothing.

Seeing that the two of them were entangled, Zhang Yang also unconsciously became entangled, and then stood up again.

Li Tai raised his eyes and said, "What is my brother-in-law going to do?" ”

Zhang Yang said distressedly: "Grow vegetables!" ”

"Won't my brother-in-law prepare for me and Chu Mo?"

"You ask Shangguan Yi to arrange it for you."

Li Tai still smiled when he heard this.

This one is fat and one strong, and one is more alternative than the other.

If you want to say that Li Tai is smart, he is usually quite smart, but if you want to say that he is not smart, he will also be confused at some times.

Forget it, his growth genes are all focused on muscles and strength.

The two of them were still sitting in front of the wine shop, and Li Tai whispered: "Chu Mo, do you know? My brother-in-law made something. ”

Chu Mo disagreed, he felt that Zhang Yang's ability could make a lot of novel things, and if there were more novel things, it would be a little unnovel.

Li Tai said again: "That thing can level mountains and rivers and break cities." ”

Chu Mo snorted coldly: "A certain family can also level mountains and rivers and break the city, but it is just a waste of strength." ”

Thinking about it again, Li Tai recalled that when his brother-in-law was demolishing the palace on Lishan, there was a burst of sound at that time, and he thought about it carefully: "Could it be that ...... at that time?"

The vegetable fields in the village have been cultivated several times, and Li Xiaogong is still looking at the courgette behind his house with a dejected head.

Ignoring the king of Hejian County, Zhang Yang came to the office in the village, where there were many files, and Shangguan Yi was writing in a pile of files.

Seeing people coming in, he raised his head, "It turned out to be the county marquis." ”

Zhang Yang helped him tidy up the table, which was messy, and put away a few scrapped brushes.

Seeing that the county marquis took the initiative to help him clean up, Shangguan Yi also felt that this place was messy, so he also set out to clean up.

Sending unwanted waste paper for storage and putting other useful files on the shelves makes it much more spacious.

The two sat down again, and Zhang Yang asked, "How are you looking for manpower?" ”

Shangguan Yi took out a file and opened it to see the names one by one, "This is the list drawn up by the lower officials, among which are famous old farmers from all over the country, but most of them are old and unwilling to stay in Chang'an, and the lower officials also plan to join the agricultural policy in next year's imperial examination." ”

He planned to have the mentality of giving it a try, and asked the DPRK and the Central Committee to add to the examination papers a policy on agricultural affairs, such as how to farm and how to fertilize.

Select the right talent for Taifu Temple.

At the beginning, fortunately, Li Shimin was maliciously targeted, and there were only two people left in Taifu Temple in his heart, himself and Shangguanyi.

Zhang Yang considered, "It can be used as a policy examination question, but it cannot be listed as a condition for admission to the imperial examination, I still prefer these old farmers." ”

"The county marquis doesn't know." Shangguan Yi said: "These old farmers are not easy to invite, every township and county will treat them as treasures, these old farmers are experienced, they only need to look at the water and soil, look at the spring climate to guess this year's harvest eighty percent, and as long as you look at the clouds in the sky, you can know the weather in the next few days." ”

Zhang Yang listened and nodded, "Talent, so you should pay more attention." ”

Knowing that it was a difficult errand, Shangguan Yi gritted his teeth and agreed, "Xiaguan understands, please give Xiaguan some time." ”

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry."

Inviting these old farmers to help Lishan's experimental fields, and the most important thing is the climate, water and soil, these are all empirical talks, and it is all up to the experience of the old farmers to judge what the field is suitable for planting.

If these old farmers can be recruited, they are the most precious treasures of Taifu Temple.

When the time comes, it can be collected and taught to be a farmer from generation to generation.

After all, there are no books related to farming strategies in this Tang Dynasty, but since Wei Wu returned from the north and south, there are more and more doctrines about the sage.

On the contrary, there are not many books about actual production.

The saints are indeed all god-killed.

It's been thousands of years, and the Central Plains is still so scarce.

As for some people who say that material things only corrode people's hearts, this is true from a certain point of view, but there are also environmental factors.

During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he wanted to unify the scholars and realize the concept of unifying the readers, so he carried out the so-called Dong Zhongshu Tianren Three Questions.

But that was also forced by the situation, and the emperor's power was needed.

A few days after the prince returned to the palace, the court sent people several times to inquire about the progress of firearms.

The emperor felt that he had decreed that Chu Mo would get married, and he had to face Cheng Yanjin's complaints.

Tian Khan got involved in other people's family affairs and pulled down his face, and Lishan would be shameless if he didn't take out the firearms again.

Zhang Yang really wanted to be a shameless person, in the past, he really did such a thing as releasing the emperor's pigeons.

But now it's different, and now I have a daughter and a son.

Let me set an example before my children, lest this emperor later say that I am not in front of my children.

The experience of a Taishang Emperor teaching Xiao Qingqing to rebel is enough of a headache, not to mention that there is another day Khan, who says every day that the child's father is not a thing.

That is, he couldn't bear the emperor's repeated attempts to send people to inquire, so he simply made a cannon battle and asked people to send them to the palace.

It is very troublesome to cast a soil mine, not to mention a flintlock pistol, and now he only has such a one, and his emperor said that he wanted it, without considering the cost and time required for manufacturing.

The emperor is like this, there is no care, only calculation and scheming.

In the palace, the originally cold Manna Hall lit the stove early.

The emperor used the stove to keep warm, while reviewing the recitals, and drank a sip of tea from time to time, his expression was full of concern for the country and the people.

Li Junxian came with a medicine bag in his hand, "Your Majesty, this is a firearm that Lishan asked people to make." ”

Hearing this, Li Shimin finally put down the pen in his hand, he got up and walked closer, looking at this square thing wrapped in wood and cloth, "This is Zhang Da'an's weapon to break the city, Pei Xingjian to retreat from the big cannibal?" ”

Li Junxian replied: "Lishan didn't say so, but the county marquis explained the usage of this thing, and people need to keep a certain distance." ”

"Well, find a palace wall in the palace and try it."

"Whoa."

Li Junxian led His Majesty to a dilapidated palace wall, which was originally intended to be demolished and rebuilt.

And this place is now overgrown with grass, there are many wild cats, and there are even palace people who say that they will see the palace maids and eunuchs who died here every few days.

Li Junxian put the medicine bag under the palace wall, took the lead in one hand and retreated step by step, retreating three feet away to find cover.

"Your Majesty, please step back behind the wall."

"Can't I stand here?"

Li Junxian said again: "The Hou of Lishan County has explained that when this thing is used, it needs to find a cover and keep a distance of three feet before it can be ignited, otherwise there will be a worry about your life." ”

"If I stand behind the wall, how can I see it breaking the city?"

After that, Li Shimin looked at Li Junxian with an embarrassed look on his face, and had no choice but to retreat behind the wall.

In this way, Li Junxian lit the fire.

Watching the lead burn towards the medicine bag, he also hid behind the wall.

Li Shimin took the chair handed by the prince, sat down and drank tea, waiting for movement, taking a sip of tea, but there was still no movement.

The impatient Li Shimin looked sideways at the dilapidated palace wall, and saw that the medicine bag next to the palace wall was emitting thick white smoke and a very pungent smell of gunsmoke.

I was about to say that this thing fooled me......

There was an explosion, like thunder, which frightened everyone present.

The emperor who had just poked his head out was stunned on the spot, the entire palace wall collapsed violently, the dust and gunpowder smoke were mixed together, the smell was pungent and unpleasant, and the dust and gunpowder smoke were filled, making people unable to open their eyes.

When everything calmed down, the dust dispersed, the smell of gunpowder was still permeating, and everyone finally saw the situation in front of them clearly, and the palace wall had collapsed.

Li Junxian was shocked when he saw this scene, and the three or five eunuchs knelt down on the spot.

Looking at Tian Khan again, although his expression was calm, the hand holding the tea bowl was still trembling.

Everyone had their ears ringing for a while before they could hear each other's voices.

Li Shimin shook his head, threw away the tea bowl in his hand, his expression was fixed from a trance, and he walked forward quickly, looking at the pile of broken bricks and stones in front of him, and then looking at the wild cats that had been blown up, it was enough to see what would happen if he stood close at that time.

"A city-breaking weapon, it's really a city-breaking weapon." Li Shimin raised his hands and laughed loudly: "Hahaha! God bless Datang, Datang Wansheng! ”

"Datang Wansheng, Datang Wansheng, Datang Wansheng!" The guards shouted in unison.

When the cheers stopped, Li Shimin suddenly felt lonely in his heart, and this loneliness was caused by the impact of such a city-breaking weapon.

That is the pride of him, the admiral of Tiance.

When this medicine bag exploded the palace wall, Li Shimin's pride as the general of Tiance was suddenly shattered.

Knowing the art of war, besieging the city and sending reinforcements, attacking the mind, and strategizing......

The art of war that these people have learned in their lives seems to be completely useless under this bombing.

Lishan mastered such sharp weapons, and the walls of Chang'an City were like a piece of paper to Zhang Yang, and when Li Shimin calmed down, he became the ruthless emperor again.

This Tian Khan began to worry, and began to be really jealous of the county marquis of Lishan.

Such a sharp weapon, if it is in the hands of Datang's army, it will be invincible.

But if it were in the hands of the rebels, it would be a disaster.

He was right, if this thing could not be controlled and restrained, it would be better that such a sharp weapon had never appeared in the world.
