Li Zhi said again: "I'm still young now, and there will be many opportunities in the future, my brother-in-law can do one thing for many years and persevere, and I can too." ”

Seeing that Di Renjie was absent-minded when he heard this, Li Zhi continued: "Lishan spent five or six years in order to make firearms. ”

This time, I couldn't see this county marquis again, and Di Renjie was not very interested.

On the official road south of Lishan, Zhang Yang is of course not on the mountain at the moment, but takes Li Xiaogong and Li Tai to set up a stall here.

The official road is very lively, and there are many business trips to and fro.

Dongyang sat in the back with the account book, originally she was reluctant to come, Sister Huang, Sister Xiaowu, and Sister Xiaohui were very busy.

Qinghe and Gao Yang can't even do arithmetic problems;

Dongyang had no choice but to follow aggrievedly, and nothing was sold for an hour.

Zhang Yang covered his face with a hat and lay on a bamboo chair as if he had been hooked.

There are precious brushes, inks, calligraphy and paintings.

Because the value of the family's inheritance copper coins is not high, its value is not less than 300,000 yuan at all, and the family has calculated that it is good to depreciate the old copper coins by sixty percent.

In order to make up for the loss in this regard, I can only take out these calligraphy brushes and inks to sell.

Li Xiaogong was not interested in buying and selling, he sat aside and said: "You are so rich, and you have to come out to sell calligraphy and paintings, and you will lose all the faces of a certain family." ”

Zhang Yang sighed: "The king of Hejian County doesn't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, and when the steps of the court are big, he needs to use money everywhere. ”

Li Tai noticed a familiar figure and hurriedly said, "Siwen! ”

When the figure heard this, he first glanced back, and then saw that it was Li Tai calling, and the person immediately changed to a happy smile.

Running with brisk steps, he saluted: "I have seen His Royal Highness the King of Wei." ”

Li Tai smiled: "Brother Siwen, can you buy some calligraphy and paintings?" ”

Li Siwen looked at it for a while, and then said: "A certain family doesn't know calligraphy and painting. ”

Zhang Yang raised his hat slightly, and saw this person of the same age as Li Tai with his peripheral vision, dressed luxuriously, with a jade pendant around his waist, and official boots.

Li Xiaogong also lay on one side and explained: "This is the baby of the Li Ji family." ”

Zhang Yang covered his face again with a hat.

Li Tai is a junior, he can mess around or be shameless, Li Xiaogong still wants to be faced, he suddenly felt that Zhang Yang was very clever, and then he also lay down and covered his face with a hat.

"Siwen, are you here to play?"

Li Siwen said with a smile: "This winter has passed, and the scenery in Guanzhong is just right, and I went out for a walk with a few friends." ”

Li Tai said again: "How many friends are there?" ”

Li Siwen waved his hand and said, "Three or five friends are insignificant. ”

Li Tai pulled him and whispered: "Siwen, the British Duke is a great general today, but the general's family also has to be vassally elegant, right?" ”

Hearing this, Li Siwen blinked, "King Wei is reasonable, my father often admonishes me to study more. ”

"That's right." Li Tai took out a pair of pen and ink and put it on the case, "Why don't you buy a pair of pen and ink and then go?" ”

After that, Li Siwen took it out in his arms and took out a few copper coins from it.

Seeing Li Tai's expression, he was sluggish and a little entangled.

Li Siwen took it out again, turned his wallet over in a daze, and dropped out more than a dozen copper coins.

provoked Li Tai's expression to be bitter, and said, "Brother Siwen will bring these silver coins when they come out to play?" ”

Li Siwen explained: "It's just a matter of going out to play, and besides, this ink doesn't cost too much money." ”

"Brother Siwen said the difference, this pen is the best lake pen a year is more than 100, this inkstone is Helan inkstone, the texture is delicate, rigid and soft, and it is deeply loved by calligraphy."

Seeing that Li Siwen was still hesitating, Li Tai noticed the jade pendant on his waist, "Brother Siwen, your jade pendant is good." ”

"Ahem......"

Li Siwen coughed his throat hurriedly, and said: "This is a gift from my father when I was a child, and I have been ...... since I was a child."

"Why don't you exchange this jade pendant for an inkstone?"

"......"

Li Tai smiled and said, "Brother Siwen, do you know what my Lishan is most valuable?" ”

"What?"

"Righteous anger!"

Li Siwen looked at Li Tai, then at the inkstone, gritted his teeth and said, "Just exchange the jade pendant for this inkstone." ”

A deal was struck.

Zhang Yang didn't look at how Li Tai fooled Li Siwen, from the words Li Tai used righteousness to buy Li Siwen a pair of pen and ink.

Li Siwen won Li Tai's favor.

Li Tai was given an inkstone.

A very inconspicuous triviality, but this incident quickly caused trouble in the British public.

Li Jijia's baby's defeated behavior is passed among the generals.

It wasn't until this matter reached Li Shimin's ears that he listened to the story of Empress Changsun, and Li Tai was still pouted, so he couldn't get angry.

The prince whispered: "Your Majesty, the British justice is on the border, and I am afraid that I will not be able to return to Chang'an City at the moment." ”

Li Shimin sighed: "Let Qingque return the jade pendant to Li Siwen, this matter has been revealed, and if there is such a thing in the future, I will not spare it." ”

"Whoa."

"Wait." Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "Tell Zhang Yang that he is not allowed to set up a stall anymore, he is a dignified county marquis, Zhongcheng of Shangshu Province, and he wants to take my son and daughter to set up a stall to make a living, how can it be reasonable." ”

"Whoa." The prince hurried to deliver the message.

The emperor was so angry that he slapped the table case, they were already married people, and they were still playing like this.

The next day, Li Siwen came to Lishan aggrievedly.

In fact, the emperor asked people to come and spread the word last night, but Zhang Yang still took Li Xiaogong and Li Tai out to set up a stall.

Yesterday I sat here for half a day before selling a pair of pen and ink, and the business was miserable.

Seeing that Li Siwen was so aggrieved that he was about to cry, Li Tai comforted: "Brother Siwen, is it the best quality for us to sell your pen and ink?" ”

Li Siwen nodded and said: "My mother let people see it, it is indeed worth thousands of dollars, but it's just ......."

He choked up a little aggrieved, "It's just that can you return the jade pendant?" ”

Li Tai said again: "Siwen, it's better to be like this, how about you take the money to ransom?" ”

"Ah...... Yes? ”

"If you can't get the money, doesn't Brother Siwen still have friends? Ask your friend to buy pen and ink, so that the price is worth the goods, and you can return the jade pendant. ”

"I'm going to call someone."

Waiting for the people to walk away, Li Xiaogong sighed at the sun and said lazily: "Qingque, do you know that this kid can't take out these silver coins, just for today?" ”

Li Tai held the jade pendant that Li Siwen used to exchange yesterday in his hand, and said with a smile: "The British Duke guarded the Hexi Corridor for the Tang Dynasty, how about giving them a good pair of pen and ink?" Uncle Huang misunderstood, I didn't bully him, just to solve the loss of this money. ”

Not long after, Li Siwen brought a large group of powerful children, some of them are the children of the clan, some are the children of the powerful families in the court, Chang'an City is not lacking are the dolls of the powerful families, under the encouragement of the emperor, each family has made great efforts to have children, and contribute to the population boost of the Tang Dynasty.

I have to say that Li Ji has good connections in the DPRK, and his son is also very well-connected.

Dozens of people rushed to buy pen, ink, calligraphy and paintings.

Zhang Yang raised his hat slightly again and glanced at it, some of these people were about thirty years old, and some were in their early twenties.

They took out bags of money one after another, are these people really here to buy pen and ink?

They are here to buy the favor of His Royal Highness King Wei.

Li Tai looked very calm, he was both silver and goods, and he could recognize this favor or not.

There are also people who want to meet His Royal Highness the King of Wei, and for some people, it is too cost-effective to spend money to meet the prince, or even to say a sentence or two, and spend thousands of dollars.

Zhang Yang sighed, thinking in his heart about this flashy wealth, he still prefers the simplicity of the beginning.

At noon, the pen and ink brought out were already sold out.

Li Tai returned the jade pendant to Li Siwen, and said: "The silver money is not needed, the pen and ink should be given to the British duke, and the silver money does not need to be paid." ”

Li Siwen took the jade pendant and thanked him again and again.

In this way, Li Tai just sent a pair of pen and ink, and he got a huge favor from the British public.

As for who the people who come to buy pen, ink and calligraphy are who they are, it doesn't matter.

The important thing is that Li Tai wants to get the favor of the British Duke Li Ji.

Zhang Yang put bags of copper coins on the car, let Dongyang sit in the carriage, and pulled back.

The news of His Royal Highness King Wei setting up a stall to sell calligraphy and paintings spread all over Chang'an City.

In the East Palace, Li Chengqian heard Zhao Jie say this, and he also thought about it for a long time, "Qingque, he...... He's too ignorant. ”

Zhao Jie was wearing a guard uniform and whispered, "Your Highness, Your Majesty is angry in the Manna Hall again. ”

Li Chengqian sighed: "Set up a stall? Zhang Yang and Qingque? ”

"That's true."

"Why do you want to set up a stall?"

"I don't know about the humble position, but I heard that this time His Royal Highness the King of Wei earned 30,000 yuan of silver for Lishan."

"Thirty thousand?" Li Chengqian hesitated for a moment and shook his head, "Lishan doesn't seem to be short of this bit of money. ”

Of course, Lishan is not short of this money, and at this moment, at the foot of Lishan Mountain, a cart of old money is pulled out of the warehouse.

Xiaohui explained to the palace maid sent by the queen: "This is the copper coin sent by Fan Yang at the beginning, and there are many old coins in it, totaling 80,000 yuan of old money. ”

"Please wait and take a look at it first."

The three or two palace maids opened the money bags one by one, looked at the fineness of the copper coins carefully, and said after a while: "The fineness of these copper coins is not good, how about a discount of 40,000 yuan?" ”

Half of this discount was lost, and Xu Hui looked unhappy and said: "Not to mention the identity of Her Royal Highness the Princess, our transactions have always been honest, and the value of the goods is real every time." ”

"Now it's too much to say that our old money here is discounted by half, even in the Fang Market of Chang'an City, the discount of Sui money is 20%, why is it that the price is half when you get here?"

A few palace maids whispered a few words, don't look at the girl in front of you who is only fifteen or sixteen years old, the momentum between the conversations is not simple.

Xu Hui watched a few of them start to discuss, and said, "Are you the people arranged by the queen, or are you the people arranged by other concubines in the palace by the queen's side?" Is the rest of the money going to go into the pocket of the real owner? ”

"This little lady doesn't want to talk nonsense, of course we were arranged by the queen to collect money."

Between the words, these palace maids were already panicking.

Xu Hui said again: "Then give a fair price, can the Heavenly Family and Lishan be clear?" ”

After that, the leading palace maid bowed her head and replied apologetically: "This little lady, no matter how much old money she gives, she will be discounted by thirty percent of Sui money, how about it?" ”

"Only 30% off?"

"I wonder if this little lady is satisfied?"

Xu Hui nodded at this time, and said, "Lishan wants silver cakes." ”

"That's going to be arranged."

After a while, the palace maid came with a big bag of silver cakes, and Xiaohui carefully looked at the color of the silver cakes, and tried the amount again, which allowed them to take away the old money.

The old money left Lishan, Xu Hui let out a sigh of relief, and finally wiped out another burden.

Back on the mountain, she recounted the before and after of the incident.

Li Yue became more and more satisfied with this disciple after hearing this, and he didn't expect that the people in the palace would embarrass Lishan, and said in a low voice: "The discount of old money is a great thing for the palace, Lishan always gives the most copper coins, and the profit of the court is also the largest. ”

Xu Hui bowed and said, "Disciple understands. ”

Li Yue dialed the abacus, counting the calligraphy and paintings sold before plus the discount this time, the loss of 300,000 yuan was still about 20,000 yuan.

She raised her eyes to look at the study, where her husband was practicing calligraphy.

Of course, Wang Xizhi's original work was not sold, but hung in the study.

It's just that I don't know how much my husband can comprehend when he looks at the copy.

After a while, Zhang Yang put down his pen and asked, "Daughter-in-law, take a look, has your husband's calligraphy improved?" ”

Li Yue frowned and shook his head again, "It's still so sloppy." ”

Looking at it again, Zhang Yang frowned and said, "Is there one?" ”

After that, he called again: "Girl! ”

Xiao Qingqing ran quickly, "Daddy, what's wrong?" ”

"Let's see if Daddy's calligraphy is improving."

Xiao Qingqing said with a bitter face: "There is no diligence at all." ”

Zhang Yang sighed discouragedly, "I have been practicing for more than half a year without any progress, everyone has their own strengths, it seems that my father is not good at calligraphy." ”

Chang'an City in early spring was still cold, and it was freezing rain on this day.

Half a month after Li Siwen's incident, Li Ji's letter was sent from the Hexi Corridor, and there was no intention of condemning King Wei and Lishan in the letter.

Instead, he hopes to hand over all the family's land to Taifu Temple to take care of.

Zhang Yang shaved off his chin with a spatula he made and listened to his daughter-in-law read the contents of the letter.

"Not only does the British Duke not care about this matter, but he is also willing to hand over the land to Taifu Temple to take care of?"

Zhang Yang put down the scraper and wiped his chin, his daughter didn't like the stubble on her chin, so she had to shave it clean, and replied: "Taifu Temple has increased the income of such a field in Guanzhong, and Ying Guogong can see it clearly if he wants to." ”

"But now there is no shortage of acres in Taifu Temple."

Ice particles jump off the roof and fall to the ground.

There was a rustle in the heavens and the earth.

Zhang Yang walked out of the house with a hat, which was a pothole on Lishan Mountain, which had been idle for a long time.

I stepped on the ground with my foot, and the soil was fairly firm.

took out a scroll of drawings from his waist again, frowned and looked at it, this was originally the Taoist temple of Lishan Palace.

The original Lishan Palace covers an area of not small, and when building its own home, it was only used a part of the edge of Huaqing Pond, and there is still a large area that has not been developed.

Zhang Yang picked up the hoe, dug up a piece of soil, looked at the texture of the soil, and whispered, "The soil quality is not bad." ”

When the freezing rain falls, the wind is also very strong, and the rain carries snow particles and sprinkles them, which makes it even more painful to fall on people's skin. (End of chapter)
