Pei Xingjian rode his horse to the front, and after turning over and dismounting, he was the first to step forward, "The disciple has seen the teacher. ”

Zhang Yang looked at him with a smile, "The last time I saw you, you weren't so tall." ”

"The disciple has grown a lot taller in the two years in Persia."

As he spoke, Pei Xingjian's eyes also watched, Zhang Yang was wearing a pair of cloth shoes and stepping on the ground, and he did not have the appearance of an immortal who could ride the wind.

It looks pretty good, and there is still some blue stubble on the chin.

It seems that he pays attention to repairing the edge on weekdays, but today it seems to be negligent.

Hou of Lishan County looks like an ordinary person who can no longer be ordinary.

Zhang Yang saw the people who came and got out of the car one by one, and saluted: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince, Fang Xiang." ”

"Huh? Brother Wen, you're here too. ”

Cen Wenwen held the pen in one hand and the scroll in the other, and said: "County marquis, we are here to inquire about the Lishan factory, and according to the regulations of the DPRK and China, we need to give Lishan a license. ”

Zhang Yang walked into the village with a few people, and walked in the forefront with Cen Wenwen, "Does the DPRK and China have a clear framework for the production system?" ”

Cen Wenwen shook his head and said, "What are the specific frameworks...... The DPRK and China have no plans yet, and want to use Lishan as the standard. ”

A little worried, he said: "If there is something that can be done in production and what can not be done, it can be arranged according to the appearance of Lishan, I don't know what the county marquis wants?" ”

Li Chengqian listened to the conversation between the two and walked behind, Fang Xuanling walked beside him, and Zhang Xingcheng and Ma Zhou were behind him.

Lishan has changed again, with a few new houses, a few more paved roads, and the land that used to be acres of land has also been tamped into flat land.

There are also more and more children in this village.

When everyone came to the factory, Zhang Yang instructed: "His Royal Highness King Wei, take Brother Wen and them to see the factory first." ”

Ma Zhou said again: "Xiaguan still wants to go and see the villagers here and ask a few words." ”

Li Xiaogong said in a deep voice: "Come with the old man." ”

A few people dispersed in front of the factory.

There was still Fang Xiang still standing here in front of him, Zhang Yang asked, "Isn't Fang Xiang going to see the factory?" ”

Fang Xuanling shook his head and said, "Cen Wenwen and Ma Zhou will do it well." ”

"That's right."

"You always want to build Guanzhong, how many years do you plan to use."

Zhang Yang bowed his head and said: "Maybe there will be another ten years, or another twenty years?" ”

"It's a little short."

"It's a bit short, then thirty years?"

Fang Xuanling still shook his head and said in a low voice: "You said that you want to build Guanzhong, what do you want to build these into?" ”

"At least to the best of my ability."

Another group of children ran in front of them, and these children were not afraid of the officials, for whom even the emperor would often come to Lishan, and the children were not surprised.

Fang Xuanling said again: "You are very confident. ”

Zhang Yang said with a smile: "In my hometown, from every household still living in a dilapidated house, to everyone can afford to live in a brick and stone house, it took only three years for me to remember this change, and then there was a smooth road and it was able to open to traffic, and it was only two years, and then there will be changes every year." ”

"Do you miss your hometown?"

"Well, I miss it."

"Where is your hometown?"

Zhang Yang looked at his feet, smiled a little stupidly, and suddenly looked up at the sky again, "I have always been in my hometown." ”

"You ......"

People can empathize with each other, and the situation that Fang Xuanling empathizes with may not be the same scene, but the beauty that people yearn for is the same.

Zhang Yang said with a smile: "Although the world has changed, the world has not changed. ”

"Well, you are a person with a good heart, and the old man still thinks you are too proud."

"Fang Xiang, people's learning ability is very strong, and it should not be underestimated."

"Talking about Lishan, the old man has really learned a lot."

"And it can be seen from the changes in Lishan that knowledge can change the world."

Zhang Yang said to himself.

Pei Xingjian and Cen Wenwen walked into one factory after another, still discussing the production process.

During this period, Li Tai explained many principles, and the two of them listened to it with little understanding.

At the rear of the factory there are three steam engines, which transmit power and drive the levers to mix the slurry from dozens of barrels.

Li Tai explained: "In the past, Lishan would also weave cloth, but now we only provide cotton thread and finished velvet, and a lot of downstream production is given to other villages. ”

Cen Wenwen listened to the words, and the pen in his hand kept writing, but fortunately, there was ink in Lishan, and he couldn't remember a few pages at all.

Outside the factory, Ma Zhou brought a document and put it in front of Fang Xiang and Zhang Yang.

The bottom of the document was padded with a cloth silk, and the paper was sewn onto the cloth.

Fang Xuanling sat down and asked, "Lishan cast copper?" ”

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Well, because we need to make more sophisticated firearms and equipment, we need to cast copper." ”

Ma Zhou recorded this passage in the scroll of Wenyan, and wrote the word cast copper on the permission of a document, with this document, as a certificate, Lishan can justifiably cast copper.

But they cannot be used to cast copper coins, but only to cast instruments and firearms.

There were two copies of the documents, one of which was kept in the court for filing and the other was left in Yeosan for future inquiries.

Fang Xuanling took the tea, put the tea bowl in his hand to make his palm warmer, and said: "Lishan can be cast in copper, but it needs to have a life, how about five years?" Within five years, Lishan could continue to cast copper, but after five years, Lishan needed permission from the court to recast copper. ”

Zhang Yang shook his head and said, "Five years is too short. ”

It takes at least one year to transport copper from the southwest to Guanzhong, and up to three round-trips in five years.

Chaozhong saw the crux of Lishan, and it was getting harder and harder to deal with these old foxes.

Their eyes have always been vicious.

Fang Xuanling closed his eyes as if he was thinking, stroked his beard with one hand and asked, "How many years do you think?" ”

"Lishan wants the right to cast bronze forever."

Fang Xuanling bowed his head and said: "Lishan and Sheji have meritorious, Your Majesty and the court can see it, and you can give this permission." ”

Ma Zhou's hand obviously paused for a moment, and then recorded the conversation.

"Thank you."

Fang Xuanling said again: "The old man is just trying, can he use this method in other places, so as to restrict workshops in various places, it seems that the effect is very good." ”

"You don't have to worry, the permission given to Lishan by the DPRK is permanent, and it can be passed on from generation to generation, and Sheji still needs Lishan, and the DPRK will not cut off its arm."

Zhang Yang arched his hand and said: "I hope that in the future, the DPRK and Lishan can also communicate with each other like this." ”

Next, Fang Xuanling and Zhang Yang wrote several more documents, including cast iron, cloth, cotton and soap, and gave them the right to purchase and rebrew grain.

"At the beginning, it was agreed that the brewing was jointly operated by the DPRK and Lishan, and this operation still nominally belonged to the DPRK and China." Fang Xuanling emphasized: "Lishan can continue to make wine, but nominally it belongs to the DPRK and China. ”

Guanzhong liquor has always been a sought-after commodity outside the Guanzhong, and there are many benefits that can be generated in the Hexi Corridor, even if the DPRK and China can only get 50% of it, it is still a lot of income.

In Lishan liquor, the cost of a jar of wine is 30 yuan, and it can be sold to the market for 80 yuan a jar, and the price when sold outside the customs is 300 yuan a jar.

And that's when food prices are low.

Zhang Yang nodded and continued to draw on the paperwork.

Not long after, Pei Xingjian and Cen Wenwen also returned.

"The house is all recorded."

"Well, show it to the county marquis."

Zhang Yang took the file handed by Cen Wenwen and looked at it carefully, which recorded some production specifications.

Zhang Xingcheng also came back, he also handed over the file, and said: "Fang Xiang, this is the income from the inquiry of the lower officials, the villagers of Lishan have seven days to rest every month, and they are also given rest every festival, and if there is urgent fortification, they will also give extra money." ”

Fang Xuanling looked carefully, and at a glance, he felt that the production task of Lishan was still very heavy, and he was working for three to four hours a day, although he was resting halfway, a person only had three or four hours to stay from sleeping and eating, to living.

"It seems that Lishan is going to be scolded again." Fang Xuanling said earnestly.

"What does it mean?"

"Your Majesty has been taking the throne lightly, and now the vast majority of Confucian students still believe in Huang Lao's learning, you also know what Huang Lao's doctrine is, right?"

Huang Laozhixue arose in the early Han Dynasty and once became the most important school in all dynasties.

After the controversy of the hundred schools of thought ended, Huang Lao's learning began to flourish.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, Zhang Yang has some feelings, at that time, Huang Laozhi's "lying flat" was very avant-garde, and it called on everyone in the world, including the emperor, to focus on Huang Lao's quiet inaction, rest with the people, and rule by hanging the arch.

Huang Laozhi learned that later generations focused more on personal influence, that is, healing the body.

But Huang Laozhi's learning also caused some troubles, such as the prosperity of the Western Han Dynasty, the granary was full, the copper money in the treasury was too much to be used up, the rope that wore the money was rotten, and the money was too much to count.

This is not a good thing for a centralized society, it will reduce the control of the court over the local area, and it will also achieve the family.

The laissez-faire economy and the inequality between the rich and the poor have gradually intensified, resulting in the strong and foreign troubles also being greatly affected by the laissez-faire national policy, which endangers social tranquility.

Faced with Fang Xiang's questioning, Zhang Yang replied: "Lishan has enough infamy, and I believe that the DPRK will choose the right direction." ”

"Hmm."

Fang Xuanling nodded, indicating pertinence.

Zhang Yang said: "If the court no longer progresses, Lishan will supervise it, if the world is going to destroy itself, then Lishan will save the world, this is our ambition for Lishan all along." ”

Li Chengqian listened to these words with gloomy eyes, staring at this county marquis, with excitement and envy in his heart.

I envy him for having such ambitions, thinking about his years in the East Palace, and thinking of all kinds of deeds and words he said back then.

Fang Xuanling packed up these files and documents.

After a long time, everyone stood up and finished their business here.

Pei Xingjian saluted and said, "Teacher, the disciple will leave first." ”

Zhang Yang advised: "If you have time, you can come to Lishan for a walk." ”

"Disciple understands."

Pei Xingjian is a disciple of Lishan, and he also has the trust of Zhang Yang.

Li Chengqian sat in the car going back, closed his eyes and thought about it, his father knew about Pei Xingjian's relationship with him, and he wanted to hand over the position of Chang'an Ling to this person.

Not to mention Pei Xingjian's ability, what Lishan is doing now has a lot to do with Jingzhao Mansion.

What if Pei Xingjian and Lishan should be together?

Or did my father have the idea of wanting to capture and indulge?

The curtain of the carriage moved with the wind, and Li Chengqian saw Pei Xingjian's figure.

Lishan paid taxes and production licenses, all of which were facilitated by Pei Xingjian.

Li Chengqian closed his eyes in distress, Zhang Yang would not be a selfless person, and his father was not a generous emperor.

In the end, the father is using Lishan, or is Lishan taking the opportunity to use his father.

The troublesome relationship between the monarch and the minister, Li Chengqian feels that he will succeed to the throne in the future, and he will never let the relationship between the monarch and the minister be as ambiguous as it is now.

In the middle of January of the fourteenth year of Zhenguan, this year's rest came to an end, and the dynasty officially began.

Another courtier talked about Taishan's sealing of Zen, and as soon as he talked about it, he poured a basin of cold water on everyone's heads because of Xu Xiaode's urgent report.

Last autumn, the rat infestation in Jianzhou, and due to this year's frost, the local state capital is in urgent need of food supplies.

After this year's snowstorm, Hebei Province was expected to be feared, with floods, and thousands of hectares of fields were about to be destroyed.

This Datang is not all smooth sailing, and all kinds of disasters are destroying the still weak agricultural economy in the Central Plains.

The Yellow River overflowed, the state capital was flooded, Heyang suffered, the governance of the Yellow River was imminent, and one problem after another smashed into the heart of this heavenly khan like a boulder.

Li Shimin felt that his heart was smashed and panicked.

As the decrees were issued one after another, the DPRK and China continued to send officials to govern the localities.

Under the auspices of Li Yue, Lishan took out 50,000 stone of grain to help the disaster areas in the state capitals.

The Hou of Lishan County was determined to build Guanzhong, but there was only one Hou of Lishan County in this world.

In addition to the frost disaster in Longyou last autumn, Longyou will also scratch the nerves of Tian Khan from time to time, which makes Tian Khan angry and wants to kill.

Li Yifu felt that Longyou was so poorly governed, and he should kill a few people from Longyou's gate.

The opening scene of the fourteenth year of Zhenguan was tense, the government and political machinery of the Tang Dynasty began to operate, and the various government offices were busy with a pot of porridge.

Li Lizhen took a group of younger brothers and sisters back to the palace to visit her father and mother.

Children are like this, if they have been in the palace, they will make the father and mother annoyed, and once the child has been away from home for a long time, he will take care of it in every way.

As soon as these children arrived at the palace, the queen arranged a sumptuous meal, and each child was given silk and satin, as well as curiosities from various places.

Dongyang holds a pair of antlers.

Qinghe was holding a string of silver beads.

The Lizheng Hall is lively again and has regained its vitality.

Empress Eldest Sun straightened Li Li's hair in a bun, "Why did you go to Lishan and look more and more like a boy." ”

Li Li explained softly: "The queen mother, there are not so many constraints in Lishan, and the daughter is used to it. ”

Empress Eldest Sun kept nodding her head, and said, "The children have grown up, but they don't seem to have grown up. ”

The princesses and princes finally returned to the palace, and the queen should be happy, and the palace maids on the side still sighed when they looked at the queen.

"Your father has been very busy lately, I'm afraid I can't come to visit you today, so stay in the palace for some more time."
