Li Tai frowned and hesitated, then asked again: "How should we in Lishan deal with this matter?" ”

Shangguan Yi sighed at first, with the change of Lishan, there will only be more troubles in the future, and said lightly: "It's okay, just ignore it." ”

Li Tai was puzzled, "Huh? ”

Giving Li Tai an affirmative look, Shangguan Yi nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Hearing his affirmation, Li Tai thought for a moment, and then put this matter behind him, he was busy scheduling factory manpower today, and there were still a lot of things to be busy with.

In Chang'an City, Fang Xuanling sat in Zhongshu Province and watched the recital of Lishan bullying Shangjia, and laughed at this matter.

Fang Xuanling didn't think this matter was so important, or so serious.

How dare businessmen sue Lishan? This is the words of a few businessmen.

Not to mention whether there is anyone behind these businessmen to manipulate, this matter is not so simple.

Fang Xuanling looked at Ma Zhou and Zhang Xingcheng in front of him, and he bowed his head and said, "Do you two think that the old man wants to embarrass Lishan because of Shang Jia's grievances?" ”

Ma Zhou was a courtier who was recommended to be promoted, and unlike Zhang Xingcheng, who had been in the Sui Dynasty in the court, he was more active in political affairs than others when he served in the Imperial Historical Observatory.

"Fang Xiang, the lower officials think that the dispute between Lishan and Shangjia can sit back and watch it and look at the situation in the future"

Zhang Xingcheng listened to his words, and also frowned and thought about it, this Ma Zhou said that he wanted to sit back and watch the dispute between Lishan and Shangjia was too laissez-faire.

However, since the white sugar case in Luoyang, Ma Zhou's status in the DPRK has also risen a lot.

Now he can talk to Fang Xiang in Zhongshu Province, also because of his original achievements.

Later, he went to the Li family in Zhao County to investigate, and now he has returned to the court to be appreciated by His Majesty.

Seeing Fang Xiang looking at him, Zhang Xingcheng hurriedly said: "The lower official thinks that Ma Yushi's words are inappropriate. ”

Fang Xuanling bowed his head and said, "It's okay for you to say it." ”

"Whoa." Zhang Xing is nearly fifty years old, his eyes are still sharp, he bowed down and said: "There is no conclusive evidence of Lishan's bullying of merchants, if you want to make it clear that it is just a conflict of interests between merchants and Lishan, Lishan's cheap goods are beneficial to the people, and Lishan has been operating like this for several years. ”

"Xia Guan wondered why the businessmen would sue Lishan at this time, but they had been silent in the early years, and most of these businessmen were instructed by someone behind them."

Ma Zhou was silent and speechless.

Fang Xuanling looked at the two of them and said in a low voice: "Ma Zhou, you take someone to check if there is someone behind these businessmen." ”

Zhang Xingcheng's analysis of such a thing makes more sense.

Ma Zhou bowed and saluted, and then hurried again.

Fang Xuanling was still sitting upright, drinking tea.

When Ma Zhou left Zhongshu Province, Zhang Xingcheng took two steps forward and whispered: "Fang Xiang, Ma Zhou's utilitarian heart is too heavy. ”

Fang Xuanling nodded and said, "I can see it." ”

"Do you really want this person to inquire?"

"Do you want to ignore it?" Fang Xuanling snorted coldly, and said, "It's just that some people who hide in the shadows and don't dare to come forward are borrowing the wind to exert their strength." ”

"It turns out that Fang Xiang has already understood it."

"Just keep an eye on this matter, and the DPRK and China will not make a decision for the time being."

Fang Xuanling sat in the phase, and his position naturally had more consideration than them.

didn't dare to ask any more, Zhang Xingcheng bowed and retreated.

Not long after, Wei Zheng returned to Zhongshu Province and asked for a few files.

"The old man heard that a businessman sued Lishan?"

Fang Xuanling smiled kindly, "It's not a big deal, let Ma Zhou go and inquire." ”

"Hmm." Wei Zheng nodded, and left in a hurry with the dossier.

Fang Xuanling also stood up and walked out of Zhongshu Province, he walked all the way out of the imperial city from Zhongshu Province, stopped under the Suzaku Gate, and thought about the current situation in the court.

The tax law of the Hexi Corridor has brought inspiration to the DPRK and China.

The DPRK and China can draw inferences from one case and use it everywhere.

Since Zhang Yang served in the court, except for his actions in the Ministry of Rites, he had little to do with the government.

And this time the tax law made Fang Xuanling feel that Zhang Yang's talent had reached an amazing point.

I thought that Zhang Yang had foresight and little talent.

He continued to walk towards his home.

At home, Fang Xuanling saw his son Fang Yizhi cleaning up the study.

"Father." Fang Zhizhi hurriedly said: "Wait for the child to clean up the study." ”

Fang Xuanling bowed his head and said: "Tomorrow morning, I will go to Lishan with you and the old man." ”

This made Fang Yizhi a little surprised, and he was puzzled: "Is it because of the matter that Shang Jia sued Lishan?" ”

"Did you hear that, too?"

"There are a lot of people talking about it in Chongdefang."

"There are many things in the DPRK and China that are more important than this dispute between merchants and merchants, but they are very interested in Lishan."

Fang Yizhi explained: "That Zhang Yang wrote about the Red Mansion, and then made waves because of a madman's diary, this person was regarded as an enemy by the family and an alien by the scholars. ”

Fang Xuanling nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, they are all staring at Lishan, wanting to see what Zhang Yang is going to do this time." ”

"Father is worried about what Zhang Yang will do when he goes to Lishan?"

"Even you think this battle between merchants is not simple, do you?"

Fang Yi nodded straight and said: "Shangjia doesn't have Yongye's acres, let alone enter the office, and Erchen thinks that there is another reason for this matter." ”

"At the beginning, His Majesty acquiesced in Zhang Yang's departure from the court, but the old man didn't say anything at that time, and someone asked if His Majesty was too kind to Zhang Yang."

Hearing his father say this, Fang Yizhi said again: "Actually, my father appreciates him very much, but Zhang Yang needs to polish the edges and corners, a young man has such a talent, it is the best time, when he is indomitable in the court, but he leaves at this time." ”

"It's not that my father doesn't say anything, but even my father thinks that Zhang Yang is like a piece of jade, this piece of jade needs to be polished, and some unsatisfactory places need to be polished, so that this piece of jade can be used by the court."

"My father hopes that Zhang Yang's time away from the court can be well precipitated, and the accumulation of these years is enough for him to transform from a jerky teenager to a qualified successor of Zhongshu Province."

After saying that, Fang Yizhi hurriedly saluted and said, "The child has a lot of mistakes. ”

Fang Xuanling closed his eyes and didn't speak, in fact, Fang Yizhi is a very smart child, but it's a pity that he is his own child, a child who is the prime minister.

His talents are destined not to be displayed in front of others, nor can he gain a foothold in the court.

With some indebtedness and helplessness in his smile, Fang Xuanling said again: "Rest early." ”

"Whoa."

The dispute between the merchants and the DPRK has not yet expressed its position, and the discussion in the market has become even more discussed.

In fact, since March this year, Lishan has not supplied Chang'an City again, and I heard that Lishan is carrying out a large-scale civil reconstruction.

His Majesty is repairing the Taiye Pool, and Lishan is also being rebuilt at this time, which is a strange thing.

The original flooding of the Yellow River is not much discussed.

Fang Xuanling passed by Chongde Fang, and glanced at the busy officials when he passed by the Foreign Affairs Academy.

Zhang Yang's talent is better than expected, and more importantly, there are many young talents under his command.

How can the Ministry of Rites not be envied by having such a team.

If Zhang Yang can return to the court, he may not be alone, he can form a team.

The only thing that made Fang Xuanling dissatisfied was that Zhang Yang ran Lishan only for money.

Fang Xuanling walked out of the Chunming Gate and got into the carriage to Lishan.

In the past two days, the rain has stopped, and there are more pedestrians on the official road, and it is already past noon when the carriage arrives at Lishan.

reported his intention to the guards in the village, and it was Li Jing who came to greet him personally.

"Pharmacist, how are you doing?"

Fang Xuanling waved his hand and smiled: "That's it, there are too many things to worry about in the court." ”

Following in Li Jing's footsteps, Fang Xuanling motioned for his son to stay outside the village.

There was also a little girl who followed Li Jing, she walked with her hands in her sleeves, and her wide clothes seemed inappropriate.

The frowning and thinking expression is exactly the same as that Zhang Yang, especially the scattered melancholy between the eyebrows, as if she, a little girl, has something to think about.

Fang Xuanling smiled and stroked his beard and said, "Whose child are you?" ”

Xiao Qingqing gestured to Lishan and did not answer.

Looking at it this way, this kind of temperament is also very similar to her father.

Li Jing smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Fang Xuanling didn't mind this girl's rudeness, but felt that this girl was a little more awake and calm.

But this girl looked a little fatter, and Fang Xuanling said again: "You are very similar to your father, but you are a little fatter." ”

Xiao Qingqing still raised his head with his hands and said, "Uncle Wei Wang has been giving me meat, can I not get fat?" ”

The child was fat but fair-skinned, with bright eyes and light steps.

The difference between her and the other children in Guanzhong is that she is healthy, this child is too well raised, and it is better to say that she is fat than to say that she is stronger than other children.

The rest of the children's children are not as agile as that.

Fang Xuanling said again: "What has your father been busy with lately?" ”

Xiao Qingqing turned his head and didn't like this old-fashioned elder, and replied, "How do I know? I'm here to learn the art of war from the general. ”

Li Jing hurriedly explained: "Some children are just messing around with each other. ”

Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and said: "You are a child of the Hou of Lishan County, and what you learn and see must be different from ordinary children." ”

"Of course, I'm different from other children, I'm the county lord, and I have a lot of teachers, and I have endless classes every day, and I have a lot to learn."

"Can you tell us what you've learned in the last days?"

Xiao Qingqing stopped at this time.

Fang Xuanling and Li Jing's footsteps also stopped.

She turned her head to look at Fang Xuanling and said, "The ants in the ant nest can cooperate and work hard for construction and food in unity, why can't so many capable people in Chang'an City unite?" ”

Compare ants to court officials?

Well, very interesting idea.

Fang Xuanling explained: "The way people think is different from ants. ”

Xiao Qingqing said again: "I know, because they all have their own interests, ants have collectives, and the court also has collectives, ants are very simple creatures, and they are all working hard to expand their homes." ”

"People are different, people are both independent individuals and can form collectives, but in the collective, everyone has their own interests, so the officials in the court are not good people."

This child is very smart, ants are collective, but they are both collectives and individuals at the same time, so as to think about the difference between individual interests and collective interests.

Hearing her say that the officials in the court are not good people, Fang Xuanling smiled in dismay, "Actually, there are good people in the court." ”

Xiao Qingqing's expression was a little more angry, "Why is my father dedicated to the court and the society, and the recitals to the court have been rejected repeatedly, and he has to be targeted by the court." ”

"This ......"

Fang Xuanling didn't know how to answer for a while, what is this Zhang Yang? Can you teach your own children what this kind of thing is?

Lishan teaches children like this?

When you enter the village, you will see a large field of fields, rows of houses and neat roads.

It makes people feel a lot more comfortable, and there is a stone table here, which is arranged intimately.

Then he sat down and said to the little girl: "Go and call your father, the old man has something to say to him." ”

Xiao Qingqing shouted from afar, "Xiong Da!" ”

A sturdy bear ran down from the forest.

Looking at the huge body of the animal, it was very scary, and Fang Xuanling unconsciously took two steps back.

When it arrives in front of it, you can vaguely feel the hot breath coming out of its nose.

Seeing Xiong Da looking at Fang Xuanling, a stranger, with a hostile face, Xiao Qingqing could only reach out his chin, caressing and comforting: "Xiong Da, he is a guest, he came to see his father." ”

The bear was reassured by the little girl, and then leaned down.

She struggled to climb onto the bear's back on her short legs, "Let's go, go find Daddy." ”

Then the bear ran into the forest.

Fang Xuanling was surprised: "It's rare for this child to drive such an animal at such a young age...... Rare. ”

Li Jing said again: "Xuan Ling knows what this kid said. ”

"How so?"

"She also listened to Her Royal Highness the princess and the county marquis, she said that she was brought up by the bear, and the bear took care of her when she was very young, until now."

Fang Xuanling frowned and said nothing, the figure of the bear could not be seen when he entered the forest.

On Lishan Mountain, Zhang Yang is repairing the horse's hooves for the family's Three Hippos, sitting cross-legged on the ground, holding a file in his hand, and grinding its hooves in his arms.

The unconscionable Three Hippos are still eating grass leisurely.

After polishing for a while, Zhang Yang rested his arms, and there was a lot of sweat on his forehead.

As if sensing something, the three hippos turned around.

As far as the horse looked, a bear ran to the edge of Huaqing Pond, and it was the little master.

The three hippos and the bear have always been very hostile, and the two animals are suddenly like great enemies.

"Daddy, Fang Xiang is here."

Zhang Yang stood up and put down the file, washed his hands by the pool, and frowned: "Waiting at the entrance of the village?" ”

"Well, sit at the stone table."

Xiao Qingqing spoke, got off the bear's back and went to play with Aunt Mingda.

Li Yue is drying the books at home, and it is a good thing that her husband can not use manpower as a resource.

Lishan has encountered enough troubles, if only there were fewer twists and turns.

Zhang Yang washed his hands and wiped his face, "I'll go see Fang Xiang." ”

Li Yue said in unison: "Let's go together, I just want to hear the views of the DPRK and China." ”

The couple changed their clothes, Li Yue was wearing ordinary women's clothes, and she was usually quite simple at home, and there were not many luxurious clothes. (End of chapter)
