Since Zhenguan, the implementation of the imperial examination has been stumbling, but the family is still doing its own thing, and in the past few years of the imperial examination, the origin and family background will be taken into account when selecting officials, and the children of the family will be avoided as much as possible.

Li Shimin took a sip of water and put down the file in his hand with a solemn expression.

The prince brought a clay pot, "Your Majesty, this is the meal prepared by His Royal Highness the King of Wei." ”

Suddenly feeling a little hungry, thinking that he would have to discuss firearms with Li Jing later, Li Shimin cleaned up his thoughts.

Looking at the clear broth in front of you, whether it is mutton or beef, only in Lishan can you make such a clear soup.

Li Shimin tasted it and said suspiciously: "Where did the beef come from in Lishan?" ”

Wang Gonggong explained: "This meat is not a cattle from the cultivated land, but a yak from the bitter cold land of Tibet. ”

Li Shimin nodded clearly, "The cattle of Tubo? ”

"Your Majesty, now the Hexi Corridor is very lively, there are many merchants inside and outside the Hexi Corridor walking around, I heard that there is a Tibetan woman who sold 300 yaks, but those yaks will not live long after they come out of the bitter cold land."

"Instead of watching them die because of water and soil, it is better to kill them for people to eat, they will not cultivate the land."

Li Shimin scooped up a piece of barrel bone and sucked the bone marrow.

Wang Gonggong continued: "I heard that the Tubo woman had some dealings with Su Dingfang during the Western Expedition, and after the woman sold her cattle, she went to Chang'an City to find General Su Dingfang, and said that she was specially grateful to Lishan and sent five heads over. ”

Li Shimin didn't want to take care of the general's private affairs, and when Songtsen Gampo was dealing with the Tang Dynasty with his soldiers and horses, Su Dingfang and Li Daoyan also took the rear of Songtsen Gampo at that time.

During this period, many Tibetan people were subdued, and the merit was merit, and the personal conduct of the soldiers was another matter.

As long as Su Dingfang is loyal to the Tang Dynasty, as for what woman he fell with, Li Shimin is not interested.

After eating the beef in the clay pot, Li Shimin wiped his mouth, took a nap in the afternoon and walked out of the small palace.

Before April is the time of farming, Lishan is already busy.

The emperor walked with his steps, his eyes still looking at everything in the village, and when he passed by the paper mill, he saw Li Tai and the people cheering.

Li Shimin took a closer look, and there were a few pieces of dark brown paper that had just been dried.

"Father, this is the old paper given by the court, and we have made new paper from this old paper."

Looking at Li Tai's happy expression, now he is making a way in Lishan, and he is gradually drifting away.

How could my son be so gifted with these things?

Li Shimin was a little relieved, but he felt helpless, as if his son had grown bad, no! It should be said that it was broken by Zhang Yang.

Qingque has been following Zhang Yang since he was ten years old.

Anyway, Zhang Yang has never done anything wrong with Li Tai, nor has he ever caused trouble, and he can teach Li Tai some knowledge, so it's up to him.

No matter how you say it, it is also his son, looking at his expression, Li Shimin said in a low voice: "This paper is very good." ”

"Father, the construction of Lishan is for the people's livelihood, not only for Lishan, but also for the entire Central Plains in the future, making paper cheaper."

Li Shimin picked up the paper in his hand, "The color is darker." ”

Li Tai said with a smile: "Erchen can also remix the formula, which will make the paper cleaner, and the same formula will always be successful." ”

"How much does this paper use old, and what can it produce?"

"Back to my father, I only use forty percent of the old paper to soak it into pulp, and then mix it with sixty percent of the new pulp."

There is a rule in Lishan that every time there is a breakthrough in technology, all the craftsmen involved must cheer loudly.

Li Tai had a smile on his face, "Father, this is the paper of the Tang Dynasty, and I will never worry about no paper in the future." ”

In the past, paper was indeed very expensive, and even if it was Lishan paper, it was a big cost in terms of materials and processes.

Now with the method of recycling used paper, the cost can be saved a lot.

The changes that this technology has brought to production have occurred from time to time in Lishan.

"From now on, it will be called Zhenguan paper."

"Thank you for your name."

Li Shimin nodded, and walked away again, he planned to go and see Shangguan Yi.

There are indeed many talented people in the DPRK and China, and people like Shangguan Yi are exactly what Li Shimin wants, and there has never been enough talent.

If people all over the world can think about the community, why is Datang not strong.

In this way, Li Shimin glared at the top of Lishan again.

The village has been rebuilt three times and is now divided into three large plots: a field area, an industrial area, and a residential area.

Zhang Yang divided the fiefdom into three areas, and the people's daily life was also in these three areas.

There is a very strange castle tower in Lishan, I heard that it was built by Yue'er and Zhang Yang on a whim.

At that time, Lishan was still being built, and after the construction of this cylindrical castle tower, the couple did not live in it.

And now, it has become the office of the village, and Shangguan Yi and Wu Shi Tong are busy here.

Li Shimin walked into the tower, walked in through a corridor, and then walked up the stone steps, and the top floor was the room where Shangguanyi was.

The stone steps spiral upwards, and the entire tower is paved with this fine stone.

Li Shimin's heart despised his extravagance and waste.

A spacious room on the top floor, where Shangguan Yi would arrange matters on weekdays.

Walking into this room, there are windows on the north and south sides of this room, and there is a cold wind pouring into it.

The room was messy, with lots of files and all sorts of strange objects.

When Li Shimin raised his eyes, he saw a huge map, which depicted several areas of land with Lishan Mountain as the center.

Shangguan Yi, who was rummaging through the files on the table, was stunned at first when he saw His Majesty, and hurriedly saluted, "Your Majesty." ”

Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "You don't have to be polite, this picture is what Lishan will do in the future?" ”

Shangguan Yi put down the pile of dossiers he was holding in his arms, straightened his clothes and explained: "Actually, this is a matter of Taifu Temple, and these enclosed places are the fields we are going to cultivate this year. ”

"The land in Gaoling is indeed Li Daozong's."

"The clan gave the county marquis a favor, saying that it could give convenience to Taifu Temple, so they gave these acres of land, but Lishan only helped with planting, and the vegetables grown could share a part of the profits."

"I know."

Seeing that His Majesty did not blame, Shangguan Yi felt a lot more at ease, and said: "Xiaguan has looked at the water and soil in various places, and the vegetables grown in these acres are different, and different vegetables are grown in different water and soil. ”

Li Shimin withdrew his gaze from the map and looked at the villagers who were busy walking downstairs, "With your talent, this small Lishan can't keep you." ”

Shangguan Yi bowed and said: "Your Majesty, there are two times in this life when the minister has the most abundant harvest, the first time is when he is studying hard in the cold window, and the second time is now. ”

"Lishan is not big, and the minister has been watching how it grows, how rich, and there are many interesting governance strategies."

"If it's just a small Lishan, how can you achieve more." Li Shimin looked out the window, stretched out his hands and said loudly: "Everyone is fighting for the merit of social society in this world!" Xu Jingzong can fight, even if it is Chu Suiliang or Cen Wenwen, they are all young leaders, you can also fight, fight with them, and fight with Zhang Yang. ”

Shangguan Yi lowered his head and was silent, not knowing how to answer His Majesty's invitation, let alone preparing to enter the court.

Li Shimin bowed his head and said: "I can wait for your reply, the timing will not wait for you, whoever is the first to get the greatest achievement." ”

After hearing these words, Shangguan Yi bowed his head and saluted, and once again declined His Majesty with silence.

Seeing Shangguan Yi's attitude, Li Shimin knew that it was useless to say anything more, so he nodded to show that he understood his mind.

Shangguan Yi stood alone in the room, looked out the window, and saw the back of His Majesty leaving, and the pressure in his heart dissipated when he watched this back go away.

He sat down to make himself a cup of tea and turned to look at the map hanging on the wall.

After a while, he stood up and left the room.

Zhang Yang was in the field recording the growth of crops, while the little county lord rode on the back of a bear and looked at the scroll obediently.

The cold weather in the spring is often cloudy and rainy, and in Guanzhong it is freezing rain, and the weather has been gloomy these days.

"County marquis, Your Majesty has come to see me."

"What did Your Majesty say?"

Zhang Yang's understated attitude didn't know whether to say it was good or bad, for him, His Majesty was just a frequent visitor to Lishan, a guest.

There is no need for the whole village to take care of it, the emperor is not in Lishan, it is the same here.

After repeating the words that His Majesty had said, Shangguan Yi said sadly: "I didn't promise Your Majesty. ”

Zhang Yang bowed his head and said: "Just like Your Majesty said, some people are the first to get the greatest achievement, but whose steps move first does not mean that his steps have always been ahead." ”

Perhaps because of personal experience, Shangguan Yi did not agree with His Majesty's words, the level of achievement between people is not climbing the mountain, and it does not mean that whoever walks in front will definitely be able to reach the peak first.

Life is very long, and Shangguan Yi feels that even if he is still at the foot of the mountain, he will not feel the pressure brought by others at all.

"Shangguanyi, you will definitely have a great achievement."

"County marquis, the lower officials think that being able to do a good job in Taifu Temple is the greatest achievement in this life."

Take a deep breath, and then slowly exhale it, looking at this Guanzhong Plain, not long after coming from the cold winter, the grass and trees of this land have not yet woken up.

Zhang Yang was walking by the ridge, and Xiong Da, who was carrying Xiao Qingqing, was also walking.

Shangguan Yi followed the footsteps, "I also hope that the county marquis will be handed over to the court." ”

"Brother Shangguan laughed, whether to stay in Lishan or not depends on your own decision, we agreed when we asked you to teach, if you want to leave at any time, as long as you are still in Lishan, I will always pay you."

Zhang Yang continued to walk with his hands in his hands, "At the beginning, everyone was at the bottom of the mountain, and when someone started to climb the mountain, someone would follow and tell you a story about the tortoise and rabbit race." ”

"The lower officials are willing to hear the details."

Xiao Qingqing has heard the story of the tortoise and rabbit race many times, and when he heard that his father still had to tell Shangguan Yi, he was curious: "Daddy, do adults also want to listen to the story?" ”

Facing this child, Shangguan Yi admired it very much in her heart, this child is now four years old, and she is much smarter than ordinary children.

Zhang Yang is a special person, and his children are also very special.

The story of the tortoise-hare race is intriguing, about a race between a proud rabbit and a persevering tortoise.

At first everyone thought the rabbit would win, and even the rabbit thought it would win.

But I didn't expect that it was the turtle who won the race in the end.

It's a very absurd story, but it can be placed between people, but it's so ironic.

What makes the rabbit fail is its arrogance.

The turtle wins because it persists.

"My former teacher said that if you want to be a turtle, you can't be a rabbit, everyone can be a turtle, everyone can be that rabbit, even if you are talented, you may be proud, and you will end up losing and being unpopular."

"No matter how poor your talent is, you can achieve great things through your later efforts."

Shangguan Yi bowed and said, "Xie Xianhou pointed." ”

Zhang Yang said: "It's just a story, it's not a pointer, everyone's opinion on this story is different, in fact, you understand these truths, I said these are just superfluous, don't be surprised." ”

As he spoke, Zhang Yang walked up to Lishan Mountain, and Xiong Da also walked towards the mountain.

Recently, the bear's expression was very low, Xiao Qingqing stroked its head, and said in a low voice: "When the spring comes, you can plow the land." ”

The bear yawned, and it had a very boring winter, except for its bear den with two pandas of different breeds.

There really is nothing new in this winter.

This bear has grown bigger after a winter, and Xiao Qingqing's body is still small, and now it is difficult to climb up and down.

Only by letting the bear lie on the ground can she slide down her fur.

I don't know how Li Jing and His Majesty talked about it, there is an extra soldier and horse at the entrance of the village, and most of this army is used to control firearms.

The emperor was very eager for firearms, and he hoped that once this firearm exploded, the Tang Dynasty would win.

Zhang Yang sighed by the Huaqing Pool, it is really not easy to make this Datang good.

Especially the emperor's various behaviors, Zhang Yang wanted to go crazy, wanted to compete with the emperor, and also shared life and death.

The idea is good, and the truth always backfires.

If the emperor wanted firearms, he was bound to get them.

No, the prince came again in the evening, and those three powder cartridges alone could not satisfy the emperor.

Maybe Li Shimin found out that this was just a sideways firework, but he did some tricks inside.

"Your Majesty said that the county marquis can make some decent firearms before Qingming."

"Decent firearms......"

Zhang Yang scratched his head in distress, "Does he like artillery?" ”

"What is the artillery that the county marquis is talking about?"

"It is also a kind of killing weapon, to cast this artillery, it takes a lot of silver, five thousand yuan."

Hearing this, the prince looked embarrassed, "The county marquis is going to embarrass the old slave, Your Majesty just wants to see firearms, how can you ask for so much money." ”

Zhang Yang's expression was still indifferent, "Princess, if Your Majesty wants an artillery, you need to come up with this price." ”

Today, I will temporarily change a chapter, ask for a leave, and make up for the first ...... Well! owed
