The servant on the side replied: "Sir, I heard that Zou Guogong is still recuperating in Lishan. ”

Because of the tariff dispute in the Hexi Corridor, the eldest grandson Wuji actually suffered a loss because of this incident.

This surprised him.

Gao Shilian coughed his throat, his beard was white, he was getting older and older, he closed his eyes and said: "Yu Shinan is also gone, the next one should be the old man." ”

The servant replied: "Last time, the imperial doctor sent by the palace said that the old gentleman should recuperate more, and the more things he has, the worse his condition. ”

The only one who can give Zhang Yang guidance is Zhang Gongjin, and Zhang Yang's son is young and has a deep mind.

Gao Shilian knows the eldest grandson Wuji very well, this child was brought up by him, and now the status of the auxiliary machine in the DPRK is getting higher and higher, and the power is getting bigger and bigger.

This is exactly what he is worried about, and those who take power will not end well.

Gao Shilian stood up on crutches and said in a low voice: "It's also good, the younger generation in the court can also fight with the auxiliary machine, so it's good for him to suffer a loss." ”

After that, he wrote a letter, sealed it with wax and told the servants around him, "Give this letter to Zhang Gongjin." ”

"Whoa."

Lishan and the eldest grandson Wuji fought, and it was Gao Shilian and Zhang Gongjin who were alarmed.

I had brought my daughter to listen to the teacher's lecture, and Zhang Yang handed the letter over, "Teacher, what did Xu Guogong write on the letter?" ”

Zhang Gongjin sat in a wheelchair, he put down the letter and said with a smile: "You have a conflict with the eldest grandson Wuji, Gao Shilian told the old man that this time it was the eldest grandson Wuji who did not instruct him to target Lishan." ”

"Then Gao Shilian is here to explain the misunderstanding?"

"Hmm."

The wife was taking her daughter to eat snacks, and Zhang Yang was puzzled: "I don't think this matter was instructed by Gao Shilian." ”

Zhang Gongjin shook his head and said helplessly: "The old man is about to die, how can Gao Shilian, this old guy, still be alive." ”

Zhang Yang took a sip of tea, "How many times has the teacher said life and death, it's better to say less about this kind of thing." ”

"The people of the ancestral land have long dug the grave of the old man and are waiting to be buried, and they are also looking forward to it, and they will always worry about the old man if he does not die."

Zhang Yang poured a bowl of hot tea for the teacher, "Then let them think about it." ”

"You are always like this, one day His Majesty wants you to die, do you also have to ask why?"

"Shouldn't you ask?"

"Alas, the old man was right when he worried."

Listening to the teacher's words, Zhang Yang took a sip of tea by himself, "This year's spring tea will be sent to Lishan, and when the new tea arrives, I will send some to the teacher." ”

"Now I can live one day at a time, and I don't always have to think about leaving a copy for my husband."

"Is this Xu Guogong here to demonstrate? Supporting the eldest grandson Wuji? ”

"Because of the tariff matter in the Hexi Corridor, the eldest grandson Wuji wants to deal with you, and you use his strategy to catch him off guard, so that he is now in a dilemma, making people feel that his talent of Zhao Guogong is not as good as your Lishan."

"My tax laws are better." Zhang Yang said disapprovingly.

"Well, taxes have always been a top priority, and the eldest grandson Wuji used this trick a little recklessly in order to deal with Lishan."

Zhang Gongjin analyzed and said: "There is also a reason why he will do this, because Lishan has asked the court for a lot of money several times, and in the end, he is on His Majesty's side, and you are still alone." ”

"He Gao Shilian did not send a letter to demonstrate, but hoped that the old man would not deal with the eldest grandson Wuji because of this, and said that if the old man is still dormant in the next few years, he Gao Shilian will not participate in the dispute between the Ministry of Rites and the eldest grandson Wuji."

"Don't underestimate Gao Shilian, the eldest grandson Wuji can recruit so many people from the scholar clan, and I think there is Gao Shilian behind him, this person has many protégés back then, there are not many celebrities in this world, he is still alive."

"I also said the old things about Jiaozhi in the letter, Gao Shilian still had something to do in Jiaozhi back then, if you have the heart, let Xu Jingzong collect Jiaozhi earlier, Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, and the three counties of Ninan were the capital counties of the Han Wu Emperor period, and now they are still lost."

Zhang Yang replied: "I have thought about it, but it is not easy to cross Lingnan, and I will not hide from the teacher that I have already sent someone to Nanzhao, and then consider the three counties of Jiaozhi after taking Nanzhao." ”

"So you had a plan for a long time?"

"Well, why bother Big Brother has been in Nanzhao for two years."

"The current war in Nanzhao turned out to be like this, and now the old man understands, you think long-term, it is indeed your style to take Nanzhao first, and then take back Jiaozhi."

Zhang Yang said again: "After Wen Ting takes Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje, I plan to take Wajima again, this matter will not be too kind, maybe many people will die on that island." ”

Zhang Gongjin seemed to be listening to a very ordinary thing, and his expression was neither surprised nor surprised.

Zhang Yang frowned and said: "I haven't seen any scenes in the chaos of the world back then, so it's not strange. ”

Zhang Gongjin smiled and said: "Expanding the border is a good thing, and it is incumbent on you to make meritorious contributions, but after so many years, why are you still a county marquis?" ”

"Being a disciple is useless, which makes the teacher laugh."

"Well, if you didn't negotiate terms with Your Majesty on everything, you should be a county magistrate."

"With the teacher's good words, the disciple will do his best."

Zhang Gongjin said worriedly: "You will not bow your head to Your Majesty. ”

"Yes, we are back to the problem of the emperor, the rich businessman, and the prime minister, power, wealth, and status, at least in the current institutional form, the three are never one, and the process of the formation of the system is idealistic in reality and theory, and I believe in materialism more."

Zhang Gongjin smiled with relief, "Well, it's the first time I've heard this kind of thing, it's very interesting." ”

Xiao Qingqing ate a snack, and listening to the conversation between his father and his master was a lesson.

The construction of Lishan is very fast, new houses are completed every day, and when the village is forging ahead on the road of industrial transformation in order to concentrate again, Zhang Yang has returned to a quiet state, always looking at the current construction process.

Looking at the cultivation progress of Taifu Temple, if there is nothing to do, Zhang Yang will use his free time to plant some bamboo and fruit trees in Lishan.

The olive trees have finally improved somewhat, but the olives that grow are small.

The apple tree was already half a man tall, and it produced an apple the size of an egg, and it was so astringent that it was hard to swallow when you took a bite.

Zhang Yang planted these fruit trees to the south of the foothills of Lishan Mountain.

Li Yue and her daughter took a small shovel to dig the soil, just as this was a parent-child activity for the family.

"There is a lack of trees in Guanzhong, and in the future, we will take the lead in Lishan."

Xiao Qingqing's little hands were dirty, and there was some mud on his clothes, "Daddy, let's grow some peach trees." ”

"The peaches grown in Guanzhong are not delicious."

"My daughter likes to eat peaches!" Xiao Qingqing said stubbornly.

"You only ate peaches that summer, and you couldn't eat other fruits."

"No! You should also eat courgette, a variety of courgettes, not only peaches, but also pears in autumn. ”

Li Yue hugged her daughter and said with a smile: "Your father is Taifu Siqing, and he has the final say on what he wants to plant." ”

"Daddy, I'm going to eat corn too."

"There's no corn for you to eat right now."

"Daddy, what does corn look like?"

"When Datang conquers the world, you will be able to eat." Zhang Yang couldn't help shaking his head, regretting telling his daughter so much.

From April to May, the first batch of new tea sent by Huainan arrived, and the first batch of tea leaves was half a stone.

They are all good spring teas in the Ming Dynasty, these tea leaves are enough for Lishan to drink, and there is a surplus for giving away.

Tea will continue to be delivered in the future.

Zhang Yang drank this year's new tea and exclaimed: "The price of tea in Guanzhong has risen again." ”

The daughter-in-law is holding the tea bowl, and her slender fingers fit the tea bowl just right, which is very pleasing to the eye.

Xiao Hui hugged the account book and nodded: "What the master said is good, the price of tea in Chang'an City has increased by fifty percent compared with last year. ”

Zhang Yang smiled: "It will continue to rise." ”

Tea can be fried so it can be stored for a long time, and for the mutual market, the Western Regions and Turks do not have so many vegetables to eat, they need tea.

Zhang Yang thought of various mutual market strategies in later generations, and when tea became an important material for trade, Lishan was not far from making a fortune.

In fact, it is easy for Li Yue to take down those tea mountains in Huainan, with the current financial resources of the family, even if he spends money, he can buy those tea mountains at any cost.

It's just that the daughter-in-law is unwilling to be the unjust boss and unwilling to spend so much unjust money.

After drinking tea, Li Yue took his three disciples to calculate his family property, and the family now has 1.6 million yuan in cash, and many old money from the former dynasty and the former Sui Dynasty were lost by more than 2,000 yuan after being exchanged in the palace.

Last year, the operating income of each factory was 60,000 yuan, and nearly 5,000 yuan was paid in taxes, and the surplus was less than 10,000 yuan, excluding various expenses and the purchase of flowers in the village.

The tax income from the Hexi Corridor was 17,310 yuan, and after giving 30% to the DPRK and China, the surplus was less than 6,000 yuan.

After losing the sugar business, Li Yue found that the speed of making money was not so fast, and the family did not make much money last year.

Not to mention the crops bought, not to mention the coal and iron bought last year.

Li Yue's abacus clicked, and his face became more and more unsightly.

At noon, she sat aside, her face was so aggrieved that she was about to cry, "Husband......"

Zhang Yang opened a bamboo tube and asked curiously, "What's wrong?" Eating coptis? ”

Li Yue put the accounts on the table, and said with a bitter face: "I lost money last year, and I lost 2,000 yuan." ”

Zhang Yang gasped, Lishan actually lost money?

"Shhh...... Where's the loss? ”

She pursed her lips and gestured to look at the accounts.

Zhang Yang looked through the accounts, and as soon as he saw it, there were dense statistics, and after quickly closing it, he rubbed the bridge of his nose, "Just talk to me." ”

"Last year, the village bought a lot of coal, stone and iron, and Qingque spent 8,000 yuan for refined copper!"

Zhang Yang nodded, "That's what is needed for development, and it will return to its original cost in the future." ”

At this time, the most aggrieved thing for her was to lose money, and there was less money!

Even if she earns a penny more than that, it won't make her so sad.

"Husband......

"Hmm."

"Let's go and ask our father for an account."

"Okay! We advertise it publicly. ”

Li Yue retracted his gaze again and said in a low voice: "That's it, my father's own life is so simple, and he has no money to pay back to our family." ”

She got up and walked outside, looking at the blue sky with a blank face, worried and sad.

Lishan actually lost money, Lishan can lose money?

After so many years of operation, there was a day when she lost money, and her expression was sad, and she suddenly ......

The daughter walked over and asked at this time, and listened to what her mother said.

She walked up to her father again, her little face a little angry, "Daddy! Is our family losing money? ”

Zhang Yang was still looking at the letter and nodded, "I know." ”

"Mother said, Dad's pocket money this year will be confiscated."

Zhang Yang's hand holding the letter paper trembled obviously, but his expression remained calm, "I know, you go and tell Uncle Wei Wang, just say that our family has lost money." ”

"Xiong Da, let's go and find Uncle Wei Wang." Xiao Qingqing walked outside the door and said loudly.

The letter was sent by Pei Xuanji, and what was written in the letter was the current situation of the seven sects and five surnames, because of the previous debt sale, Li Zhengzao sold all his family property, and now he has become a person with nothing.

And Pei Xuanji's situation is not good, he was wanted by the local government in Fanyang for instigating students to make trouble, and now he has returned to Taiyuan to hide.

As for his debts after being sold to Fan Yang, he never sold them again, this kind of buying and selling method is still unacceptable to many people, and it is not appropriate to consider it.

Monk Huikuang returned to Guoqing Temple in Yangzhou, where he admitted to being involved in the papermaking trade and was still raising money to buy it in Lishan.

The purchase and sale of debts did not affect the previous transactions, the monks of the Central Plains needed papermaking too much, they needed to use papermaking to write more scriptures, and their business was to make more people become monks.

Even though the court and the central government have repeatedly restricted temples, Yangzhou is too far away from the emperor to have little impact on their local boundaries.

At night, Zhang Yang sat in the study, with pen, ink, paper and inkstone in front of him, "Daughter-in-law, do we have to be like this?" ”

"Well, the husband has to write a review and write down the reasons for the loss of money clearly."

"What if I don't write?"

Li Yue raised his chin with dissatisfaction in his eyes, "You are not allowed to go back to the house to sleep." ”

"Slow, this thing is not right, Lishan is you in charge, how can I say that it is my responsibility, and the husband and wife should bear it together."

Li Yue picked up the paper, "It's okay, I also write." ”

Looking at the paper in front of her, Zhang Yang hadn't started writing yet, she really started to write.

At the beginning of last year, the soap workshop and paper mill in Lishan were suspended for a long time, and it is normal to lose money, there is no problem with your business, and I bought iron ore and coal for future development, and this loss is normal."

The more she talked, the more she worked hard to write.

Zhang Yang simply got up and hugged her, her hand was still holding the pen, and there was stubbornness in her eyes.

I had to comfort her and said, "This year, we will earn more and earn it back." ”

"Then our family can't spend money indiscriminately."

"Okay."

Her tone was a little firm, "Only in but not out!" ”

"Hmm."

……

The next day, after the early dynasty, Li Shimin walked on the edge of the Taiye Pond that was still under construction, and beside him was the narration of the prince.

"Lishan actually lost money?"

Wang Gonggong replied: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei sent news that Lishan not only didn't make much money last year, but also lost a lot. ”

Li Shimin was in a good mood, this year, taxes were paid in various places, and the DPRK and China were rich again, so it was rare to be happy, and said with a smile: "Tell Cheng Yanjin that I will hold a banquet in Xingqing Hall today." ”
