The negotiations in the room were briefly suspended, and everyone was eating, and a wooden barrel contained scallion oil noodles.

The person who was about to serve the noodles with the bowl saw that there was no more noodles in the bucket, so he had to put down the dishes and chopsticks in embarrassment.

Boom, boom...... Li Shimin chewed the courgette in his mouth and asked again: "This melon you planted is good." ”

Zhang Yang said with a smile: "When you go back, Your Majesty will take some more." ”

The courgettes grown in Lishan are still small, and the seeds need to adapt to the soil, and it takes time to cultivate better courgettes.

Tang Shanzhi didn't have a good appetite for the food in front of him, because the terms of the contract given by Lishan made him feel difficult to swallow.

"Zhao Guogong, do we really want to set up an official residence in the court as they said?"

Hearing him ask, the eldest grandson Wuji said in a low voice: "Well, it's okay to agree." ”

"Do the DPRK and China have to make concessions to Lishan?"

"Good knowledge, this is not a concession, this is for the sake of society."

As long as Lishan's demands do not affect the great cause of the society, the eldest grandson Wuji can also agree to these contracts.

After the meal, everyone ate for half an hour, Shangguanyi's mood was very good, and seeing that everyone could satisfy these meals, it showed that the results of Taifu Temple were still very good.

After cleaning up the table and removing the meal, Xiao Wu and Xiao Hui patiently poured tea.

Everyone sat down again, some opened the contract and looked at it again, and some yawned sleepily after eating.

Zhang Yang continued: "The specific details of the contract can be negotiated again, but in Lishan's opinion, the DPRK and China need to show a better attitude to Lishan, so I will talk about the next third article." ”

Looking at everyone's faces, Zhang Yang's eyes fell on Fang Xuanling, and said, "The accounts of Chaozhong and Lishan have always reached the point of being complicated. ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw Xiao Wu untie the rope on the wall, and a picture was presented in front of everyone.

Xiaohui said to everyone: "This is the exchange between Lishan and the court, which includes paper, as well as the sharing of wine and taxes. ”

Her tone was still jerky, and it was the first time she had spoken like this in the face of so many officials in the court.

Xiao Wu took over and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, we in Lishan plan to integrate these and exchange some of the industries for this. ”

There is a circle on the diagram, which is divided into several pieces and symbolizes the transactions and numbers of the various accounts.

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at this picture with a solemn expression, he never thought that the account transactions between the DPRK and Lishan would be as high as nearly 100,000 yuan.

Then his gaze turned to Cen Wenwen.

And Cen Wenwen's expression was heavy and indifferent, in his opinion, this had lasted for a long time.

The eldest grandson Wuji asked, "Cen Wenwen, is it really like the picture." ”

"Back to Zhao Guogong, the amount and share are right."

He replied calmly.

Zhang Yang took a sip of tea and continued: "First of all, Lishan plans to recycle paper and paper, both of which will be handed over in exchange for Lishan's right to operate in the Hexi Corridor. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "What kind of management right? ”

"Lishan and the DPRK and China will jointly preside over the operation of the Hexi Corridor, and Lishan has its own power over the pricing of goods."

Zhang Yang continued: "For example, the price of a jar of wine in the customs is thirty yuan, and the price outside the customs is sixty yuan, and the wine in Lishan is better, so the price can be increased, in short, Lishan can set the price of the goods by itself, and it can be different from the market price. ”

The people below were talking again, and the eldest grandson Wuji asked again: "If Lishan raises the price, what should the DPRK and China do?" ”

"Zhao Guogong, the development of the market is not so simple, and Lishan will only raise the price externally, because the price is calculated according to the cost, and Lishan needs to avoid risks for the increase of manpower and transportation costs in the future."

The eldest grandson Wuji pondered these words, looking for the trap in the words.

There is another discussion below, in the eyes of everyone, does Lishan want power and find convenience in the court?

Seeing the hesitation of the people in front of him, Zhang Yang said again: "Lishan goods can be sold in a wholesale way in Chang'an, but when you go to the Hexi Corridor, you hope to have the right to determine the price independently. ”

"What if the DPRK doesn't agree?"

I don't know who said such an inappropriate sentence.

Zhang Yang's body leaned back, leaned back on the chair, and said with a smile: "Lishan has an order worth 500,000 guan, including 10,000 artillery pieces. ”

As soon as these 500,000 words came out, everyone was shocked.

Fang Xuanling got up and said, "What time is it?" ”

Xiao Wu replied: "It's almost time." ”

The court needs Lishan's firearms, and the eldest grandson Wuji has some anger in his eyes, as if to say that in front of the firearms, Lishan has enough qualifications to negotiate with the court, and the court must agree to this condition.

Zhang Yang also got up and said, "Everyone, let's rest for an hour first." ”

It was almost dusk, Xiao Wu and Xiao Hui left, and there was nothing to do with them next.

Xiaohui said in a low voice; "Master's conditions are very harsh for the court."

Xiao Wu nodded with his hands behind his back and said: "It is indeed very harsh, not only to help the court and the central government to supervise the merchants, but also to give Lishan enough convenience in the Hexi Corridor." ”

Xiao Qingqing was practicing martial arts not far away, and the Red Whisk Girl was talking to Li Yue.

The talks, which began in the morning, are now approaching dusk and are not yet over.

Xiao Hui pondered for a moment and said: "Since last year, Lishan has lost money, according to the previous plan of the master and the teacher, Lishan will lose money for a few years in the future, before seeing the inflection point of profitability, Lishan needs to avoid a lot of risks, once the situation changes in the future, he can immediately protect his interests through the contract with the court." ”

I don't know when it started, Xiao Wu felt that there was already a gap with Xiao Hui.

Whether it is in operation or sorting out accounts, Xiaohui's ability is better.

And she has a clearer understanding of Lishan's future planning.

At this point, Xiao Wu felt that he was not as quick as Xiao Hui.

Li Yue was talking about health care with the Red Whisk Girl, and when she saw the two of them coming back, she smiled and said, "Sit down, how are they talking?" ”

Xiao Wu sat down tiredly and said in a low voice: "Those people in Zhongshu Province are all like wicked people who want to hunt the Lishan family business. ”

Xiaohui explained: "Well, it's still talking. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Qingqing ran quickly, "Aunt Xiao Wu, Aunt Xiao Hui, did Daddy fight with them?" ”

Xiaohui took her hand and said, "How can you do it so easily, the conversation is going smoothly now." ”

The negotiations continued into the night, and the people were still sitting in the house, during which many people went to the latrines and the oil lamps were lit.

Zhang Yang negotiated with the DPRK and China with an order for firearms worth 500,000 yuan, and the DPRK gritted its teeth and accepted this condition.

Li Shimin looked at this son-in-law, and as Lishan's unreasonable conditions became more and more, the emperor had a smile on his face, and the fists in his hands became tighter and tighter.

Zhang Yang took a sip of tea, "Our Taifu Temple plans to implement the policy of returning farmland to forests in Guanzhong, planting trees on wasteland that could not be used for farming, and the flash flood in Guanzhong during the flood season this year, our Taifu Temple feels that we can choose some mountainous land for tree planting." ”

Fang Xuanling said suspiciously: "Is the matter of Taifu Temple related to Lishan?" ”

Zhang Yang said with a smile: "Fang Xiang, in fact, Lishan has been cultivating crops for a long time, and I think it is best for Taifu Temple and Lishan to merge together temporarily." ”

"For the time being?" The eldest grandson Wuji questioned.

"That's right, when the time is ripe, Lishan will hand over the authority of Taifu Temple to the court."

The eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling glanced at each other.

Zhang Yang continued: "Then let's talk about Article 5, in the future, all the operations and manufacturing of Lishan shall not interfere or intervene, and Lishan has the right to make its own decisions, and after judging the current situation, Lishan has the right to decide whether to produce or interrupt production. ”

Li Shimin's face darkened when he heard these words, and he gritted his teeth and whispered: "Father, he almost didn't say that Lishan could openly resist the decree. ”

Li Yuan smiled: "Erlang, you still underestimate this kid." ”

The room was brightly lit, and Li Shimin looked at everyone's expressions and said in a low voice, "He should have been hanged in front of Chengtianmen in the first place." ”

Li Yuan sipped the tea and sighed: "If you had killed him at the beginning, you wouldn't have been able to get a firearm, Zhang Yang actually lived very clearly, he knew what to ask for and what not to want." ”

Seeing Fang Xuanling's gaze, Li Shimin nodded slightly.

In front of the firearms, the court took another step back.

Tang Shanzhi and the other officials couldn't listen anymore, so he got up and left angrily with a group of people.

Shangguan Yi looked at everyone calmly, and there was such an indescribable heaviness, which was very uncomfortable.

After living in Lishan for so many years, everything in Lishan seems very light with my own feelings.

Lishan also has a distinction between upper and lower levels, but there is no such obvious distinction between high and low in terms of personal identity.

He looked at Zhang Yang, who was negotiating with Fang Xiang, from last year to now, Lishan has been preparing for so long, just for the full production in the future.

Shangguanyi understood that Lishan should increase construction and make every effort to develop in the future, and development should not be hindered by the DPRK and China.

"Then let's talk about the last one, on the premise that the DPRK and China agree to plant trees in Taifu Temple, we in Lishan can fund the construction of official roads, rebuild roads, and build canals, and the DPRK and China can go through the court discussion, and Lishan has the right to refute it when the court is discussed."

Zhang Yang looked at everyone, "That is to say, the court and the central government can't veto the Taifu Temple's request to build a canal like before." ”

Everyone's expressions were very unsightly, and in the face of the call of the county marquis in front of them, everyone's eyes looked at Fang Xiang.

And His Majesty, who has not spoken.

Fang Xuanling slowly stood up, "You all go out first." ”

Cen Wenwen led the group to stand up and left the room with staggering steps.

There are only Fang Xiang, Zheng Gong and Zhao Guogong left, as well as His Majesty and the people of Lishan.

At this moment, everyone is standing outside the house, waiting for the conclusion of the house.

Tang Shanzhi kept scolding angrily, he felt that Lishan's aggressiveness was very rude.

The Hou of Lishan County is so crazy that there is no boundary.

Cen Wenwen stood in front of the house, looking at the stars in the sky, the night was already dark, and the wind was much colder.

An hour later, Fang Xiang, Zheng Gong and Zhao Guogong came out together.

Along with Zhang Yang, His Royal Highness the King of Wei, Shangguan Yi and Wu Shi Tong.

"It was a great time to talk to you."

"Zhang Yang, what you promise must be done."

"Hmm."

Zhang Yang agreed, and finally said goodbye to everyone in the court, but His Majesty and the Emperor Taishang were still sitting in the room, and they didn't know what the two emperors of the Tang Dynasty were talking about.

Walking under the starry night, Shangguan Yi asked, "County marquis, the court is too old. ”

Zhang Yang replied: "People's learning ability is very strong, as long as the court has the upward force, they will abandon the cumbersome process that is not conducive to the community, and the experience of Lishan will also be chewed and absorbed by them, thus becoming the soil of the community." ”

"The county marquis is a far-sighted person."

"Brother Shangguan, this is all for Datang's social and Datang's GDP."

He smiled in amazement, "The county marquis always says something that others don't understand. ”

"I'm a selfish person."

"Hmm."

"I want to build this land."

"The county marquis is in the next courtesy." Shangguan Yi bowed down and made a big salute.

"When are you going to leave Lishan?"

"When you can enter the court."

Zhang Yang patted him on the shoulder again, "The next specific details will be left to you to discuss with Cen Wenwen." ”

"Do your best when you make up your mind."

"Go home and rest."

After that, the two of them walked separately in this night, and gradually drifted away.

At night, when Zhang Yang walked home, he saw his daughter-in-law sitting by the stove, and there was a small pot on the stove.

There was a gurgling sound in the pot, and she smiled: "It's all over? ”

Zhang Yang also sat down by the stove and nodded, "Well, it's going well." ”

Xiao Hui and Xiao Wu also wrapped the dumplings, they poured the dumplings into the pot, and after a while, Li Lizhi and Li Zhi put them on the table with vinegar and dishes.

Zhang Yang sat next to his daughter-in-law and said in a low voice, "It turns out that you didn't sleep." ”

Li Yue pulled her hair back behind her ears and put her hands on her laps, "There is such a major matter at home that has not been settled, and I can't sleep well." ”

"Where's my daughter?"

"I've fallen asleep a long time ago."

Today's moonlight was very bright, she lifted the lid of the pot and looked at the dumplings that were tumbling in the pot, "Auntie said that many officials left halfway, and thought they were going to talk about dawn." ”

Zhang Yang let out a sigh of exhaustion, relaxed his back and said, "Well, it's almost dawn." ”

Li Zhi saw that the dumplings were floating, and hurriedly said, "The dumplings are cooked." ”

As soon as the words fell, the groggy Qinghe, Gaoyang, and Dongyang on the side also came to their senses, and they all gathered around to pick up dumplings and eat.

Li Yue likes to dip dumplings in vinegar, and she takes a bite and smiles very satisfied.

The family slept until noon the next day before waking up, and Zhang Yang felt some guilt for his snooze, and sat by the Huaqing pool to wash.

Hearing the voice of the aunt, His Majesty left in the morning, and after the negotiation, the two emperors of the Tang Dynasty, father and son, chatted until dawn, and they didn't know what they were talking about.

However, the aunt who purchased materials from Chang'an City brought the news, and there was another quarrel in the court of the early dynasty today, as if there was another quarrel over the matter of Goguryeo.

It's been a long time since I've been in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, and now Xu Jingzong is watching the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, thinking that he should have a headache at the moment, such a big mess is in his hands, and his ability is very exercised. (End of chapter)
