Chapter 746: Different Thoughts
When people are not empirically able to explain a phenomenon, they become afraid and curious about it.
Li Xiaogong's artillery bombardment ended, and the school yard finally fell silent.
And the emperor looked at the mess all over the ground in front of him, and Li Shimin finally understood that Pingshanchuan was not a joke.
As long as there are enough of these things, blowing up a mountain is not a big problem, it is nothing more than using more manpower and material resources.
At this moment, His Majesty gritted his teeth, this thing is too expensive, one artillery cannon is five thousand!
The boy didn't know how unreasonable the price he was offering.
knew that now, he should have been hanged in front of Chengtianmen.
And this cannon gives people a very cheap feeling, it is not worth 5,000 yuan at all, how can it be justified.
A soldier hurried up to the high platform and whispered a few words in His Majesty's ear.
After Li Shimin nodded, the soldiers on the side began to wave the order flag.
In the eyes of everyone, it was very lively, Li Xiaogong in the audience was very embarrassed, at this moment he kept coughing, and he was so smoked by the gunsmoke that tears and snot flowed, and he once felt that his eyes were going blind.
Li Xiaogong scolded and scolded, "This thing is really not for human use." ”
Finally seeing the wave of the flag of the collection order, Li Xiaogong left on his own, and the ten iron barrel cannons were also pushed and pulled away by the soldiers of the Longwu Army.
I don't know where they're going to pull this artillery, but this kind of thing has nothing to do with them.
Li Xiaogong didn't want to care, now he just wanted to jump into the river and wash well, and his body was choked with the smell of gunsmoke.
Seeing that his father was just squatting outside the school yard and coughing, and even spit out a few mouthfuls of saliva, Li Chongyi hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Dad, you are ......"
Li Xiaogong's voice was hoarse, "Water! Water ......"
Hearing this, Li Chongyi looked around, picked up a bucket and ran quickly to the river in the distance to get a bucket of water.
There were still cheers and dense footsteps in the school field, and the exercise continued.
Li Chongyi wiped the black ash off his father's face, saw him pour a few more mouthfuls of water, and helped pat his back, "This will be like this after use?" ”
"This thing was taken out by Zhang Yang's kid, but the old man ......"
Halfway through speaking, Li Xiaogong coughed violently again, vomited several times in succession, and when some saliva vomited out, the whole person sat on the ground like prostration, "Chongyi." ”
"The child is here."
Li Chongyi stood up straight.
Li Xiaogong looked ahead, "Take the old man to wash, and go to the river." ”
Li Chongyi said again: "The river is very cold, and the weather has not warmed yet. ”
At this time, the smell of his father was really bad, so Li Chongyi had no choice but to help him walk towards the river.
"Chongyi, how are you in the Ministry of Rites?"
"The child is very idle."
Li Chongyi talked as he walked.
Li Xiaogong nodded heavily, "You have to remember, once Xu Jingzong asks you to do something important, you must not listen to his arrangement." ”
"Children remember the teachings."
When he arrived at the river, Li Xiaogong took off his coat, jumped into the river and washed it well, and then shivered from the cold, his teeth chattering, "This water is really cold." ”
Li Chongyi handed over his coat and watched his father leave with heavy steps, he was full of thoughts at the moment.
Li Daozong was confiscated of military power and food because of a small acceptance case, and Li Yuanchang has not been able to leave the fiefdom so far.
The clan of Li Tang and his family must live carefully.
Li Chongyi looked at the gloomy sky and sighed, then collected his mood, and walked back to the school with his usual smile to see the excitement of this scene.
At this moment, the leading military guards are very lively, the military exercise of the DPRK and China is very smooth this time, and His Majesty's intention is also very clear, this military exercise is not for His Majesty to see.
It was for the envoys of various countries and the magnates of the Central Plains to see, which was a kind of deterrence and a manifestation of arms.
The artillery drill at the beginning has left an indelible impression on many people, and this exercise has not yet ended, and there has been news sent out, and it is rumored in the streets of Chang'an City, and it will not be long before it will be spread out of Guanzhong.
At this moment, there are still some people in Chang'an City who have not gone to see the martial arts.
Zhang Da'an didn't go, he sat alone in his old mansion and slowly put down the letter in his hand.
A loud chirp came from afar, and an eagle landed in front of the table.
Zhang Da'an smiled bitterly to himself, handed Hai Dongqing a piece of meat, its beak hung on the piece of meat, and stepped on the meat with its claws to eat.
This eagle was Haidongqing, who had been recovered in Liaodong, and it followed it when he returned to Chang'an.
Zhang Da'an was curious that this kind of creature could also travel thousands of miles with the crowd and be far away from home.
"You still haven't flown to Liaodong after all."
Talking to himself, Zhang Da'an's eyes were fixed on a bamboo knot tied above its paws, and the letter in the bamboo was to be handed over to Wen Ting.
He stood up and took a piece of music from the bookshelf beside him, and looked at it with a frown.
Since serving in the Ministry of Rites, he has a lot to worry about, worrying that the Tang Dynasty and the Great Food are at war or peace, and the Great Food Envoy advocated peace with the Tang Dynasty during the Great Dynasty Meeting, but His Majesty has not given a clear answer.
There is another thing to worry about, that is, Liaodong sent another piece of music, saying that Wen Ting led the Goguryeo people into Baekje, and he killed many, many Baekje people.
It is said that it once dyed the river red, and slaughtered countless lives.
Perhaps it was because of the death of Mr. Wen that Wen Ting was so aggressive, and if these recitals were seen by the court, most of the Ministry of Rites would cause impeachment.
It's just that Wen Ting is not an official of the Ministry of Etiquette, and when he got along with Wen Ting in Liaodong for half a year, he always felt that this person was rude and polite, and he was also sensible.
I don't want his father's death to change his temperament so much.
Looking at Wen Ting's letter, he does things by himself, even if the DPRK wants to impeach, kill or chop, it is all his own business, and it has nothing to do with the Ministry of Rites.
At that time, the Daan brothers can hand over this letter to the court, and the Ministry of Rites has nothing to do with his actions.
Zhang Da'an wanted to persuade him not to kill so much, after all, he was a Tang person, and what the Tang people did would inevitably be guessed by the envoys of various countries.
His eyes fell on Hai Dongqing again, and he flew away after eating the piece of meat.
Zhang Da'an made a simple meal in his old house, changed into an official uniform after eating, and went out with a calm face.
He passed by Suzaku Street and walked all the way to the Foreign Affairs Yuan.
Continuing to be busy with today's affairs, Zhang Da'an looked at the news sent from all sides, Liang Jianfang had arrived at the Anxi Protectorate, and was training soldiers and horses to prepare for the westward expedition.
A clerk of the Ministry of Rites hurriedly walked over and reported: "Zhang Shilang, Zheng Gong's son Shuyu Gongzi is here." ”
Thinking that it was Wei Zheng's son, Wei Shuyu was also a relatively low-key one among the children of the powerful in the DPRK and China.
is also because Zheng Gongqi is extremely strict with the teaching of children.
Zhang Da'an nodded and said, "Bring people here." ”
"Whoa."
Before the others came, Zhang Da'an still cleaned up his room, and covered the files and documents.
Wei Shuyu is seventeen years old, and he is considered a junior among the children of the powerful, and he is three years old behind Zhang Da'an, who is over 20 years old.
Zhang Da'an sat upright, "I don't have any dealings, I don't know what Uncle Yu is doing when he comes to the Ministry of Rites?" ”
Facing Zhang Da'an, who is now calm, Wei Shuyu is very uncomfortable, "Brother Da'an, I ......"
Zhang Da'an kept sorting out the thick stack of files with both hands, "If you come to have fun with me, you can leave." ”
"No!" Wei Shuyu hurriedly waved his hand, "I'm here to pass on my mother's words." ”
Wei Shuyu saluted and said: "It's because Zhang Yang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, asked his mother about a person named Pei Xingjian, and his mother was born in Pei's family in Hedong, so he went to the letter to inquire about his person, and now Pei Xingjian has entered the Ministry of Rites, and is far away in Persia, Hedong Pei's several letters said that Pei Xingjian has gone too far, whether he can let people come back." ”
Zhang Da'an was silent for a long time.
Wei Shuyu didn't dare to look directly at the current Zhang Da'an, and saluted again: "If Brother Da'an feels that he can't help, he will go back first." ”
As soon as the person got up to leave, Zhang Da'an said, "Slow." ”
first patted Wei Shuyu's shoulder, and Zhang Da'an said: "As early as when Liang Jianfang went to the Anxi Protectorate, the court intended to let Pei Xingjian and Xue Rengui come back, and the position of the protector of the Anxi Protectorate needs to be rotated. ”
Wei Shuyu saluted again and said, "Thank you Brother Da An for informing me, I will go and pass the word to my mother in the future." ”
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Wei Shuyu turned back and said, "Brother Da An, my father said that His Majesty would give the princess of Xincheng to his subordinates, this matter is ......"
Realizing that it seemed useless to talk to him about this matter, Wei Shuyu felt that he was about to get up and leave again, and he just walked two steps and came back, he bowed down and said, "Thank you, Brother Da An." ”
After saluting, he finally left.
Your Majesty went to all the ministries of the martial arts court this time, including Xu Jingzong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and went down to the squire and the civil officials to watch this excitement.
There were several waiters in the Ministry of Rites, but Zhang Da'an did not go.
Not long after, there was a discussion in front of the Foreign Affairs Academy, and Zhang Da'an walked to the windowsill to see that it was Xu Shangshu who came back with everyone, followed by many messengers.
Xu Jingzong led everyone into the main hall and took their seats.
Seeing this, Zhang Da'an dispelled the idea of wanting to go to Chongdefang.
At this moment, in the main hall, Songtsen Gampo first asked: "Xu Jingzong, what does Tian Khan's martial arts mean, does it mean that Tian Khan also wants to use this weapon against us?" ”
To say that among the envoys present, the other envoys would respectfully say a word to Xu Shangshu.
But he is not, when Songtsen Gampo and the Ministry of Rites were dealing with each other, Xu Jingzong was just a waiter of the Ministry of Rites.
At that time, the real head of the Ministry of Rites was still the demon Zhang Yang.
For so many years, Songtsen Gampo's opponent was only Zhang Yang, and he didn't take Xu Jingzong in his eyes at all.
Xu Jingzong sighed: "Envoys don't be impatient, our Datang martial arts exercise this time is just to try out the newly created weapons. ”
The Great Emissary did not speak, remained silent.
Zhang Daxiang bowed his head and said, "Please rest early." ”
There was a commotion at the door of the Foreign Affairs Academy, and at this moment, a group of people in Chongde Fang came back from the martial arts school.
The eldest grandson Wuji took Yu Shinan, the eldest grandson Chong, and Gao Cheng to a simple and elegant mansion.
Everyone sat down, and the eldest grandson Wuji spoke first: "Lishan has become stronger and stronger so far, and I am afraid that my future status is beyond my reach." ”
The old Yu Shinan squinted his eyes and whispered: "You Zhao Guogong has always been at odds with the Ministry of Rites, so naturally you will say these words. ”
The two elders talked, and the eldest grandson Chong and Gao Cheng both sat still.
The eldest grandson Wuji said again: "It's also for the sake of Datang Sheji, so I have such worries." ”
Yu Shinan said in a deep voice: "The ingenuity of Lishan's creation, the old man has never seen it in his life, and he saw the pendulum clock in the palace at the beginning, and some Confucian scholars said that this thing violates the rule of man." ”
The eldest grandson Wuji was very respectful in the face of this elder who had been highly respected since the former Sui Dynasty, and saluted: "How does the old gentleman think to restrain Lishan? ”
Yu Shinan let out a long sigh and said with a wry smile: "The old man is old, but you still have to bother, if you want to say that this Lishan is old, there are three or two sentences to say, Lishan has helped a poor small village into a rich place now." ”
"But from the perspective of old decay, everything in Lishan is driven by profit, when Zhang Yang can't control his own heart, once such a person begins to pursue more interests, all morals and conscience can not stop him from pursuing interests."
The eldest grandson Wuji listened to the old man's advice and thought about it for a long time, but when he wanted to ask something more, the old man closed his eyes and didn't speak, but his breathing was steady as if he was asleep.
At his age, it is not surprising when he died.
The eldest grandson Wuji instructed: "Take care of the old gentleman." ”
"Whoa."
All dynasties have suppressed businessmen, and so has the Tang Dynasty.
The harm of businessmen accumulating wealth to the community is self-evident, Mr. Yu Shinan is also a Confucian student, since the Han Dynasty, businessmen have been profit-seeking, and they will abandon human nature for the sake of profit.
Right and wrong have always been very vague, and only with morality can there be right and wrong, and only with conscience can there be nobility.
It's already April, the weather is warm and cold, and for the next step of Lishan's development, Zhang Yang is determined to hold a conference.
When Li Xiaogong came back from leading the guards yesterday, he caught a cold, and he was lying on the bed with a fever at the moment.
"Zhang boy! The old man is not going to the army......"
Zhang Yang nodded again and again, "Okay, I won't go in the future." ”
"Hmmm......"
Li Xiaogong nodded in confusion, and after a while, he snored like thunder.
Li Chongyi stood aside and boiled the decoction on the stove, "Doctor Sun said that he would come back in two days after taking the decoction." ”
The affairs of the Ministry of Rites will not be arranged for Li Chongyi, but more of Li Chongyi will be given a position as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites.
Zhang Yang explained a few words, then walked out of the house, ready to go to the village for a meeting.
Nowadays, there is no place for serious meetings in the village, and the technical backbones of Lishan do not have the concept of meetings.
Seeing that the weather was good today, Zhang Yang chose the place for the meeting outside the blacksmith's workshop.
The sun is better here, and everyone sits around with small benches.
This time, the backbone of the village was there, and Li Tai brought a large wooden plank and fixed it with a shelf.
Zhang Yang hung up the three drawings again and said loudly: "Let's talk about your feelings these days." ”
Li Taixian said: "In the past two years, the cotton cloth trade has made very good progress, and more and more cotton cloth is needed in various localities. ”
Temporarily update a chapter.,It's not in a good state today.,It'll be updated normally tomorrow.
