It took four years to build the new house in Lishan, and two years after the air pressure was confirmed, it took another three years for Li Tai to build the steam engine.

Zhang Yang carried a hoe to the pothole on the west side of Lishan Mountain, turned over the soil here, re-soaked, and finished the ground before the construction began.

After the construction of the steam engine, the theory needed to be supplemented, and now it is in a period of digestion.

The development is not too slow, and the foundation must be solid in order to withstand the wind and waves.

Zhang Yang even felt that the development of Lishan had been very fast, and the success of the steam engine casting was to feed Li Tai a little bit of the trick in order to break through one technical problem after another.

At that time, I felt a little rushed, but now it is better to slow down.

At the moment when the Hou Xiu of Lishan County was cultivating and nurturing, the owner of Lishan began to live in seclusion, and Lishan also slowed down.

Zhang Yang occasionally met Cen Wenwen to discuss official and academic matters, and then returned to the mountain.

No one knew what the county marquis was doing on the mountain, but he saw a lot of bricks and timber sent up, most of which were building houses.

The villagers of Lishan are very puzzled, this county marquis builds houses and never hires manpower.

Chang'an City, in an alley.

Zhang Gongjin came to Chang'an City for a New Year, today His Majesty came to visit in person, he sat in a wheelchair and bowed his head slightly, "Your Majesty, the old minister is inconvenient, it is really difficult to ......"

Li Shimin was wearing a black civilian clothes, waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite." ”

Looking at Zhang Gongjin's complexion again, and then looking at him in a wheelchair, Li Shimin couldn't bear to say: "I still vaguely remember the way you scolded Fang Xuan in the Qin Palace. ”

Zhang Gongjin said in a low voice: "The minister can still walk two steps now, and it is better to be able to sit in a wheelchair than to stay on the couch all day." ”

On the side, Zhang Gongjin's wife silently wiped her tears.

"This is agreed between the DPRK and China, you can see."

Taking the recital with both hands, Zhang Gongjin frowned and looked at the content on the recital.

Li Shimin explained: "I have considered that according to the merit reward, I will be renamed the Duke of Tanguo, and I will eat 2,000 households, and I can also leave some family funds for my children and grandchildren. ”

Zhang Gongjin lowered his head again and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty." ”

Li Shimin sat aside and said in a low voice: "The prince went to Lishan and got Zhang Yang's guidance, and he wants to open a school in Chongdefang to give lectures to students who are preparing to participate in the imperial examination, and still say that it is training?" ”

Zhang Gongjin smiled and did not speak.

"I think that the students of the imperial examination come from all over the Central Plains, and it is good for them to be familiar with the policies of the imperial examination, and there is a discussion in the court that if the prince does this, he will also let other cities in Chang'an follow suit."

Zhang Gongjin stroked his beard and said: "Your Majesty is right to worry, so the price is getting higher and higher, and it will become a burden." ”

Looking at His Majesty's expression, Zhang Gongjin thought that Zhang Yang had given the prince guidance to the prince about this strategy, and he said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the prince can not make profits, as long as the prince sets an example, the various markets will not dare to make mistakes." ”

"Well, if I want to talk about things, except for Xuan Ling, I can only rely on you."

Zhang Gongjin said again: "How can the minister be compared with Fang Xiang, when Fang Xiang followed His Majesty to birth and death, he recruited the talents of the generals for His Majesty, and many capable people in the court were recommended by Fang Xiang, and he also went to Zhongnan Mountain to ask Wang Qi to come out of the mountain, and recruited fierce generals such as Zhang Liang, Xi Jun buy, Li Daliang. ”

Now there are a total of 640 civil and military officials in the court of Chang'an City, and the officials are clear and clear, and the stability of the situation is the work of the prime minister."

Li Shimin patted him on the shoulder.

Zhang Gongjin sighed and said, "The minister hates this serious illness and can't be around Your Majesty." ”

"Back then, you followed Li Jing on the expedition to the Turks, and as soon as you came back, you couldn't afford to be sick."

"Your Majesty, as long as the society is stable and the Tang Dynasty is rich and strong, what is the grievance of the minister."

Speaking of wealth and strength, Li Shimin thought of Zhang Yang, with a little more smile on his face, and said: "I heard that since last autumn, he has been living in seclusion, and he has been tempering his mind at home, and I have seen him in winter. ”

"This kid is still the same sloppy speech, and there is no change from before."

Zhang Gongjin played with the Rubik's Cube brought from Lishan and said in a low voice: "The disciple is stubborn, which makes Your Majesty laugh." ”

"The young man is so impetuous, I can't figure out what he wants."

"Your Majesty, this kid has something on his heart."

Li Shimin nodded heavily, "I think so. ”

Seeing that there were more and more pedestrians coming and going on the street, Li Shimin turned around and continued: "I hung your portrait in Lingyan Pavilion, and I hope you can live longer. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Gongjin coughed lightly twice and whispered: "There is a definite number of birth, old age, sickness and death. ”

Li Shimin closed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "The old friends and comrades of the year passed away one after another, and I often regret the heroes of the world back then. ”

Dai Zhou is gone, Wen Yanbo is gone, and Yu Shinan is also gone.

Now even Wang Qi has passed away.

Zhang Gongjin's expression was a little more depressed, and his eyes were a little more numb.

The two of them looked at each other without saying a word for a long time, and Li Shimin sighed: "I will return to the palace first, you must take care of your body." ”

"Your Majesty."

Zhang Gongjin pushed the wheels of the wheels with both hands and sent the emperor out of the house.

"What Your Majesty said has a deep meaning?"

Hearing his wife's question, Zhang Gongjin closed the door of the house and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty wants the old man to persuade Zhang Yang to do more things in the court, instead of thinking about making money all day long." ”

"Zhang Yang and Yue'er are so sensible, how can Your Majesty count them like this."

Zhang Gongjin was silent and looked at the Rubik's Cube in his hand.

"Old fellow, let's go to Lishan, those old friends of yours come to visit every day these days, and now Your Majesty has also come to visit, and it is time to go back."

"Well, I'll go back to Lishan tomorrow."

Chang'an City is a lively place, and the more lively this place is, the more unsuitable it is for recuperation.

Because Zhang Gongjin's disciple Zhang Yang is more and more prominent, there are many rumors in Chang'an City, and whenever someone comes to visit, he will always talk about his disciple.

Zhang Gongjin's wife took some Zhangye's cured mutton and prepared some astragalus, "These are all sent by people from Longyou's hometown, and some will be sent to Zhang Yang's family." ”

The next morning, Lishan.

As soon as the family finished breakfast, the library began to be busy, and Qinghe and Dongyang also joined in, sorting out the charts and rosters together.

There are 3,000 strong laborers to arrange in front of him, among whom there are craftsmen who can arrange for many workshops, and many laborers who can do some hard work.

Aunt Yang hurriedly came to report, "County Marquis, Zou Guogong's family is back." ”

"Well, I'll go."

Zhang Yang put a poached egg in his mouth and chewed it away.

Until the person walked away, carefully sitting at the table in a daze, just now my father ate a scallion oil poached egg, and his mind was full of pictures of the bloody mouth opening just now.

After a while, he looked at the poached egg in his bowl, and opened his mouth to eat it, but no matter how hard he tried, he could only bite into a small piece.

Look at the big bear on the side, he is eating a bucket of pasta and eating it very deliciously.

Careful Ann lost his appetite, he climbed down the chair with difficulty, walked around the house on his short legs, and looked left and right with a pair of bright eyes and did not see his sister.

Seeing that his father and mother were not there behind him, he stepped into the study, climbed into the chair with difficulty, looked at the paper on the table with bright eyes, and the paper was broken as soon as his little hand grabbed it.

"Hah......" He suddenly smiled, thinking it was funny, and began to tear the paper here.

At the foot of Li Mountain, when Zhang Yang walked down the mountain, the teacher and his wife had already returned, and Li Yuan asked a few eunuchs who were in charge of taking care of them to clean up.

"Why are you here?"

"This Gongjin doesn't want to disturb, so I'll ask someone to help clean it up."

As soon as the words fell, Sun Simiao also came, and the old doctor was followed by several doctors who were also old.

Several doctors diagnosed Zhang Gongjin's pulse in turn.

In the past, Sun Simiao would come to check Zhang Gongjin's pulse every month, but now it has been shortened to once every half a month, and now it is once every ten days.

This also shows that the teacher's condition is getting worse.

In the days of the Chinese New Year, the teacher never checked the pulse again, and this time these doctors came.

After checking the pulse, Sun Simiao whispered to several doctors for a while, and then walked out.

Zhang Yang asked, "Doctor Sun, how is the teacher's condition?" ”

Sun Simiao stroked his beard and said: "The poor road and the doctors are not easy to grasp, and they will come once every three days in the future." ”

"There's a miracle doctor of Laosun."

Hearing this, Zhang Yang hurriedly made a big salute.

Sun Simiao comforted: "The county marquis can't come back to life, this Lishan is already very good, don't be too persistent." ”

Li Yuan also understood the meaning, and Zhang Gongjin's condition became more serious.

Walking into the teacher's house, Zhang Yang took the package handed over and said with a smile: "Thank you, Mrs. Xie." ”

The master is now full of white hair, and the whole person is much older, she smiled and said: "These people from Longxi's hometown are here, and our husband and wife can't eat these, so they give a lot to the three sons in the family, and the rest is also sent to you and your wife." ”

"My wife is polite."

"You tell the old man, how is the old man's condition?"

Zhang Yang looked at the teacher who had been in the room for a day, frowned, and said, "Doctor Sun is not easy to grasp, he didn't say much, he just said that he would come every three days in the future to diagnose the pulse." ”

The wife sighed: "If you are in good health, where do you need so many pulse checks?" ”

After that, the master said: "Da'an, this child has been dull since he was a child, thanks to your care before, the old body knows that Wei Zheng has a daughter in the boudoir, although he is a few years older than Da'an, but he is also a good marriage match." ”

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "The disciple entrusted by the master understands it. ”

"In the future, the three brothers will want you to take care of it more." The teacher didn't know when he came out of the house, he whispered.

Zhang Yang sat in a wheelchair and looked at the teacher, "Do you have anything to gain when you go to Chang'an?" ”

Zhang Gongjin smiled and said: "I have seen many old friends, I am very happy, I just met Your Majesty yesterday." ”

"What does Your Majesty command?"

"The old man knows that you have no intention of going to court, and Your Majesty hopes that you can devote more attention to court politics."

"What does the teacher mean?"

Zhang Gongjin shook his head and said, "It's not good, it's not good, if you go to the court, Sun Wuji, will die in your hands." ”

Zhang Yang snorted: "Why do you say this? ”

"Hmph." Zhang Gongjin snorted coldly: "The family has fallen after all, you have worked hard for many years and are now poor dagger, but he Zhao Guogong has not advanced an inch for several years, you are very young, and you also have a lot of young talents in your hands, looking at the court, in this comparison, the eldest grandson Wuji does not die in your hands, and the old man feels that he is innocent and blind." ”

Zhang Yang smiled heartily and said, "Teacher, this Datang has such a character as me, which is a great blessing from God to Datang." ”

"A blessing, a blessing."

Zhang Gongjin also laughed, laughed heartily, and then put away his laughter and instructed: "If the eldest grandson Wuji is not a big mistake, he will not die, at least he is doing things for the sake of the society now, unless he ......"

Zhang Yang took over the words and said: "He was the first person to follow Tian Khan, and now Xu Guogong is still alive, unless the emperor is changed." ”

Zhang Gongjin nodded, "You can live for a long time, for a long, long time." ”

"Daddy!" A childish voice came from outside the door.

Xiao Qingqing rode a bear into the courtyard gate, she pointed to Lishan and said, "Daddy is not good, my brother tore up the calligraphy and paintings in the study." ”

"What!" Zhang Yang glared, hurriedly saluted the teacher and his wife, and left quickly.

Watching the disciple leave, Zhang Gongjin smiled again, this time laughing so happily.

Hurriedly returning home, Zhang Yang saw the paper in the study in a mess, and Xin'an was still smiling heartlessly.

Where does a two-year-old child know so much, and everything that can be caught in front of him is basically torn clean.

Zhang Yang looked at the messy notes on the table, which were all paper for practicing calligraphy by himself.

Looking at the wall again, Wang Xizhi's calligraphy was hanging on the wall, and now a corner has been torn apart, but fortunately, the handwriting has not been injured.

Xiao Qingqing said in a low voice: "My mother and aunts are busy, and my daughter doesn't dare to disturb, so I'll tell my father first." ”

Zhang Yang picked up his son, looked at the smile on his face, and then opened his small mouth to make sure that he didn't eat the paper and that the gap between his teeth was clean, so he was relieved.

Feeling her father's anger, she shed two tears aggrievedly.

Letting his daughter take care of him, Zhang Yang cleaned up the study and whispered, "I'm going to lock it here in the future." ”

put away Wang Xizhi's notebook again, and there is really no one less copy of this authentic handiwork in the world.

Zhang Yang hurriedly put it away and put it on a high place.

When I turned around, I found that the flintlock pistol that had been placed on the bookshelf was gone.

Looking out the window, I saw Xiao Qingqing riding on the back of a bear, holding a gun and pointing around, but fortunately, the gun was empty.

None of the sons and daughters are worry-free.

My daughter thinks about bombing Chang'an City all day long, and she is still obsessed with firearms.

My son has such destructive power when he is two years old, and he can't imagine what the chickens and dogs will look like in the future.

The daughter-in-law is very busy, and all kinds of things in the house have to be done by the male owner.

Zhang Yang came to the workshop, packed all his tools, and continued to build the house.

Xiao Qingqing came over with a flintlock pistol in his hand and asked, "Daddy, is this for my daughter?" ”

"Well, you should have a room of your own, and you will have to do everything by yourself in the future, and don't bother the two aunts in the family."

"Will my brother have it in the future?"

"There will be, and it will be built on the other side of Huaqing Pond."

Xiao Qingqing nodded and said, "It's okay, my daughter is upset when she sees her younger brother." ”

"What do you want your room to look like?"

"To be good-looking, there must be a lot of flowers and plants."

Zhang Yang shook his head and said: "Flowers and plants are not good, and they are easy to provoke insects." (End of chapter)
