Seeing Li Shimin's fiery eyes, there was no room for calculation.

Zhang Yang frowned and said, "Since Your Majesty likes it, bring it back." ”

The artillery was in hand, and the emperor's recuperation life was over.

His Majesty's health has improved a lot this month, and his complexion has also improved a lot.

When the sun was fully rising, the emperor's chariot drove away and pulled away the artillery.

Xiao Qingqing pursed his lips aggrievedly and said in a low voice: "I've only played twice." ”

Zhang Yang stroked her head and smiled: "Next time I will play a better game for you." ”

"Daddy, seriously?"

"Well, the artillery that the emperor took away was a defective product of our production, and its power was far from what I expected."

Xiao Qingqing frowned and said, "Isn't the iron cannon very good?" And it is easy to manufacture and easy to use. ”

Zhang Yang said with a smile: "An iron cylinder will be deformed after four or five uses, and the loss is also a cost." ”

Xiao Qingqing sat cross-legged on Xiong Da's back, thinking about the relationship between loss and cost.

The new artillery was not revealed in front of people, but was taken away after it appeared like a flash in the pan in Lishan.

As for why the emperor didn't reveal this cannon in front of people, out of the selfishness of an emperor, he kept it for later use.

Whether the general of the DPRK and the Central Committee can be built as a prison is a matter of two words, and if it can't be built, it will depend on Lishan.

Zhang Yang and Li Tai came to the medical center in Lishan together.

Let's say that Yan Liben's illness is not serious, and he has recovered after half a month of recuperation.

Seeing that it was Zhang Yang and Li Tai who came, Yan Liben hurriedly got up and saw it, "I've seen the county marquis, His Royal Highness the King of Wei." ”

Li Tai hurriedly held on and said, "You don't have to be like this. ”

After that, Li Tai also bowed.

Zhang Yang looked at the small courtyard and said with a smile: "Master Yan, has the Taiye Pool been completed?" ”

Yan Liben nodded and said, "It was completed before Chinese New Year's Eve." ”

"Master Yan should stay in Lishan."

As if he had expected this result a long time ago, Yan Liben did not immediately refuse or agree.

Zhang Yang said again: "I know that Master Yan still has a lot of things that he can't let go of in the court, not to mention the casting of the original Taiye Pool, and the construction of Qujiang Pond is going to be built, and the Longshou Yuan will continue to be built in the future." ”

Seeing that Yan Liben was still silent.

"Master Yan, you are from a family of craftsmen, and you have been working hard all your life for craftsmen, but if a person like you stays in the court, it is very likely that the craftsmanship of craftsmen will stagnate, or it may regress, and everyone will have to go up."

Yan Liben's expression changed, and it seemed that he was a little shaken, Li Tai motioned to his brother-in-law to say a few more words, maybe he agreed.

Zhang Yang stood beside him with his hands and continued: "The construction of the DPRK can no longer satisfy you, only we in Lishan are still specializing in technological breakthroughs, recently we are going to build two roads in Lishan, these two will become the center of Guanzhong construction, if you can stay, Lishan will let you be the chief engineer." ”

Yan Li wanted to speak and stopped, but finally swallowed the words.

Zhang Yang said again: "Master Yan, Yan's craftsmanship has been stopped for many years, you should understand the truth of not advancing but retreating, we in Lishan with full sincerity hope that you can stay, at least in Lishan, your craftsman career has not reached the peak, and you can continue to improve." ”

"In the future, Fang Xuanling, Zheng Gong and people like them, do you also want to leave them in Lishan?"

Yan Liben finally spoke.

He still didn't refuse, and he didn't agree.

Zhang Yang took out an account, "This is your account at our medical center in Lishan, please take a look." ”

Yan Liben took the accounts, patted the case and said, "Zhang Yang! You take advantage of the fire to rob, the old man is only cultivating in you for half a month, and you want the old man to do 10,000. ”

"Huh? Is it? Li Tai took the account and looked at it, but he quickly understood what his brother-in-law meant.

Where there are any accounts, this is clearly scribbled.

Yan Li was so angry that he trembled, "I knew that the old man shouldn't have ...... in the first place."

Zhang Yang patted him on the shoulder, "Then what did you know in the beginning, everything was planned by us in advance, you always got in by yourself, how easy is it to leave, the previous truth has been said, you are so indifferent, don't blame us now." ”

"The old man doesn't have so much money!"

"Of course you don't have so much money, you need to work for Lishan until our road is built and you are free!"

Zhang Yang took the account in his hand and said: "You must be clear, even if this account is reported to the Taiji Palace, Lishan will be in charge." ”

After signing the contract with Yan Liben as the chief engineer, Zhang Yang and Li Tai walked out of the mansion together.

"His Royal Highness King Wei, it's really ...... to make this decision," Zhang Yang said as he put away the contract.

"Alas......" Li Tai let out a long sigh, his father-in-law has always been so stubborn, and he can only do this.

It's just that as soon as Li Tai returned home, he saw the princess wiping her tears.

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei, the concubine didn't want to ask so much about Lishan." The more she cried, the more sad she became, and she choked up: "Why did my father owe 10,000 yuan as soon as he came to Lishan." ”

Li Tai comforted: "Actually, this ten thousand times is fake. ”

"What?"

"This is all a helpless move by this king and his brother-in-law to let Master Yan stay in Lishan."

"......"

"Don't worry, my brother-in-law and this king will not coerce, but in his heart, the affairs of the court will always be put first, and it will be difficult for him to let go of the trivial matters of the court, and if he stays in the court, his craftsmanship will stagnate."

"Only the construction of Lishan can allow Master Yan to find an opportunity to improve, and now he can stay, Your Majesty will not blame much if he knows the reason, some things can't be pulled, so he can only push him one step."

Princess Wei, who learned what happened, didn't cry, she said in a low voice: "Actually, the affairs in the palace can be handed over to my uncle, Yan Lide." ”

"Really?" Li Tai nodded secretly and wrote down the name.

Chang'an City, in the palace, the prince hurriedly walked through the imperial city, and then walked in from the Chengtian Gate, all the way into the inner city of the palace.

Don't look at the old age of this father-in-law, his walking speed is not slow at all.

Finally walked to the Manna Palace, and before the prince could step in, he heard His Majesty's angry scolding.

"Vertical son Zhang Yang! How dare you tease my Wenchen! You're so daring. ”

Hearing His Majesty's roar, the prince knew about Yan Liben, and it still reached His Majesty's ears.

There was another sound of smashing things in the hall, and the prince stood outside the hall and did not speak again, he was silent for a long time, and he let go of what he was going to say to His Majesty.

Li Shimin lost his temper, and realized that the construction of the fortifications in Qujiangli in Chengfang City in Qujiangchi could not be delayed, so Yan Liben's younger brother Yan Lide took his place.

Waiting for Cen Wenwen and Yu Zhining to walk out of the Ganlu Palace, the prince stepped in, "Your Majesty, the recital of Lishan." ”

Hearing Lishan, Li Shimin's forehead was bruised, and he shouted: "What's wrong with him!"

Wang Gonggong hurriedly said: "It was said that it was written by the Marquis of Lishan County." ”

Li Shimin grabbed the concert with one hand, helped his glasses and continued to watch, Zhang Yang explained the current situation of Chang'an City, even if Chang'an City built Qujiangli, it can only be relieved for a while.

In the future, the population of Chang'an City will be even larger, and the addition of a fang market will have no other benefit than to make the streets and alleys more crowded.

The city walls on the east and west sides of Chang'an City were demolished, the construction of the inner city and the imperial palace was maintained, Chang'an City was expanded, and roads were built.

The Emperor casually set this piece aside and picked up the other.

In the imperial city of Chang'an City, Zhang Da'an listened to the discussion between Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu, and Zhang Daxiang could also say a word or two.

Now everyone has their own duties, but they are all from the Ministry of Rites, and they can always say a word or two in dealing with foreign envoys.

Zhang Da'an said: "This Gaul came from afar, and they said that Gaul could also send troops to attack Dashi, but they wanted the Tang Dynasty to make friends with the Gauls. ”

After a pause, Zhang Da'an sighed: "In short, it is harmony." ”

Xu Jingzong bowed his head and said: "Since the county marquis served as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, the court has never talked about harmony. ”

After talking for half an hour, they were still not familiar with the Gauls, and wanted to explore the truth first.

"Thank you, brothers, for your help." Zhang Da'an stood up and saluted.

"You're welcome." Xu Jingzong hurriedly helped him, "Back then, we were all working in the Ministry of Rites, and when we should help one or two, Your Majesty also made it clear that the affairs of the Ministry of Rites should be handed over to the Ministry of Rites for self-determination, and it is not appropriate to alarm Lishan again." ”

"The old man can arrange for Shangguan Yi to write a letter and send it to Lishan, and hand it to His Majesty from Menxia Province, so it has nothing to do with the Ministry of Rites."

Since he was appointed as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Zhang Da'an has felt that his ability is more and more limited, and he can still be at ease without Xu Jingzong and his brother when they served as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

In terms of the ability to behave in the world, Zhang Da'an felt that he should learn more from Xu Jingzong.

politely sent these brothers out of the official office of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhang Daxin still had some thoughts about how to deal with the people of the Lishan family in the future.

As soon as Li Yifu walked out of the Suzaku Gate, he saw Yuan Gongyu standing here with three or two people.

"Li Shaoqing." Yuan Gongyu first called, then pulled people to the side and whispered: "There are a few people talking about making peace with Gauls. ”

The records of the Gauls first appeared in the texts of the Western Regions, and this was the first time that a person who had traveled so far and wide, the Khan of Chaohetian.

It is also said that the Tang Dynasty is fighting cannibalism, and the reputation of the Tang people has spread to the West.

Yuan Gongyu said again: "Originally, the lower officials followed the instructions of the Ministry of Rites to meet the three Gauls, and later the prince of the Xu Guogong family and several people advocated peace with the West, so that they could jointly exterminate the great cannibals." ”

Li Yifu said in a deep voice: "Since the Ministry of Rites has been based on the policy of harmony, they dare to advocate harmony, they have the intention of harming the society, and we should destroy it." ”

"But that's the son of the Duke of Xu's family!"

Yuan Gongyu hurriedly reminded.

Li Yifu bowed his head and said: "Since this is the case, I will also beat him down, at least let him know the lesson." ”

"Whoa!"

Yuan Gongyu arranged manpower, and when Gao Cheng was still drinking with a group of friends, he was surrounded by a group of people.

Before the words were spoken, his fists and feet came like rain, and he saw Li Yifu and Yuan Yu standing outside the door.

While enduring the fists and kicks, he shouted angrily: "You two! So-and-so fought with you. ”

As soon as the words were spoken, another slap was slapped in the face.

There was such an incident in the wine shop, and Pei Xingjian immediately brought someone to inquire.

Gao Xingjian saw that Pei Xingjian was coming, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Pei Fuyin, these two people want to murder him." ”

"Murder?" Pei Xingjian turned his head to look at Li Yifu.

"Where did the murder come from?" Li Yifu snorted coldly: "Xiaguan and Gongyu brothers are just passing by, and I don't know who the thug who committed the murder is. ”

The thugs had long since disappeared, and Gao Cheng didn't know where to start for a while.

Pei Xingjian instructed the people behind him: "A few of you go and check who is in and out of this wine shop just now." ”

"Whoa."

Li Yifu hugged Pei Xingjian and said, "Brother Pei, can you have food?" ”

Pei Xingjian said with emotion: "It just so happens that there is not. ”

"It's better to be together."

"It's fine."

Gao Xingfu was so angry that he punched the wall, Pei Xingjian and Li Yifu were in the same group.

Chang'an City is disturbed, but Lishan is still the same quiet.

There is no news that the emperor demolished the wall of Chang'an City and sent it to the palace, and the result is reasonable, which is expected.

How can it be so easy to tear down the city wall.

"Daddy, don't worry, my daughter will blow it up in the future!"

Zhang Yang glared back.

Xiao Qingqing laughed and ran away.

Li Yue shook his head helplessly and said, "This child is really hopeless." ”

Yan Liben still stayed in Lishan, and since he wanted to work for Lishan to pay off his debts, Li Tai took his father-in-law to familiarize himself with the process of Lishan.

Master Jiang and Yan Liben can talk, and the two can talk a lot when they walk together, such as the club's foundry process, which has many common views.

Seeing that his father-in-law was able to devote himself physically and mentally to his craft, Li Tai was relieved a lot.

Yan Liben put into work, and soon entered the state, the drawings were hung on the wall, there were two roads to and fro, the route was centered on Lishan, connecting the townships and counties around Chang'an City, and the place where the road passed was the junction of the official road.

I have to say that this route is well designed, and it seems that there should be such a road in Guanzhong.

Master Jiang took out another drawing, "This is the appearance of the new road drawn by the county marquis, and this is the railway." ”

"Railroad?"

"Hmm." Master Jiang stroked his beard and said: "The so-called railway is a road paved with iron, and when our steam locomotive is cast, the railway can be used." ”

As he spoke, Master Jiang took Yan Liben to the back of the Lishan Iron Works, where there were iron materials.

When the door of the storeroom is opened, the sunlight shines in, and the iron is so dazzling that it can be used as a mirror, and its smooth horizontal surface is as smooth as the blade of a horizontal knife.

Each one was as thick as an arm, Yan Liben carried it and tried it, the weight was not light, and he stroked his beard and said: "Lishan uses such good iron materials to build roads, it is too extravagant, this is used to cast horizontal knives." ”

Master Jiang smiled: "Actually, this is not iron, it should be steel." ”

Yan Liben was surprised: "Steel? ”

"Both weight and hardness are not comparable to ordinary iron."

When you put your hand on the steel, you can feel its cold temperature, and you can't even find its lines if you look closely.

Yan Liben said with emotion: "Lishan casting has reached such a point. ”

Master Jiang smiled and led Yan Liben into the iron factory.

When he saw several huge furnaces, Yan Liben couldn't speak for a long time, and sighed after a long time: "No wonder Lishan has been storing coal mines, it turns out that they are all for these." ”
