He nodded his head and looked at his brother.

Xiao Sanqiu is not yet a year old, and now he is still a toddler, and he can only babble.

"Sister, are we really raised by a bear?"

Xiao Qingqing nodded and said, "Well, that's what Auntie said." ”

Late at night, Li Yue took her daughter to rest.

You can always hear the rustle of trees when the mountain wind blows through Lishan, and recently there are a lot of bamboos growing in Lishan, and they will sound non-stop every time the wind blows.

The night breeze on the mountain is always relatively strong, and Li Yue cleaned up her daughter's room.

Xiao Qingqing asked: "Mother, do we need to spend so much money to build that big technical institute?" ”

Li Yue said with a smile: "We will never lose money in Lishan. ”

The summer harvest in Guanzhong is imminent, and records of water and soil have been collected from all over the Central Plains.

Zhang Yang was still the Taifu Siqing of the dynasty, and he had to ask about grain cultivation, grain harvest, and water and soil management in various places.

However, the power of this Taifu Siqing can only be limited to Guanzhong, and as for the inefficiency of the state capitals in the Central Plains, no one has to deal with the sudden idea of a Taifu Siqing, and they are more willing to submit documents to Zhongshu Province.

Some people say what does Lishan want these records for?

Since ancient times, the gazetteers of each county have only been recorded in each county's willingness or not, not at the request of a prince.

Zhang Yang has been working in Taifu Siqing for four years, cultivating crops in Lishan in the first year, cabbage and courgettes in the second year, and then grapes, and for the first time proposing crop diversification.

In the third year, Guanzhong's crops began to be diversified.

Although the implementation was difficult, it did not end without a problem, and has been working hard to this day.

For the first time, Guanzhong planted grapes on 600 acres of land, and brought wealth to the kings of Lishan and Hejian.

In the fourth year, the grapes were widely cultivated in Weibei, and in the records of Zhang Yang, the Taifu Siqing, the Weibei Plateau has a large temperature difference between day and night, which can make the grapes sweeter.

This is the achievement of Taifu Temple in the past four years.

This achievement is not a frontier expansion, nor is it a great victory in an expedition, it seems to be a very inconspicuous thing.

But this kind of thing is precisely affecting the lives of the Tang people.

Lishan used a very gentle means to bring this change to the world.

There is also a saying about growing grapes in the story of the Tang people.

Some people often talk about the quality of Zhang Yang, since Zhang Gongjin passed away, Zhang Yang has become more and more evasive, and he has never even set foot in Chang'an City.

Counting what Zhang Yang did in the court, when he was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he forcefully denied the policy of peace and affinity, and recaptured the Hexi Corridor, pacified the Gaochang Rebellion, recovered the four towns of Anxi, swept the Tianshan Mountains, and now it is even more deterrent to Tibet and expedition to Persia.

In this way, such an achievement should be ranked in the Lingyan Pavilion.

When Zhang Yang served as Du Zhilang, he opened up revenue and reduced expenditure for the DPRK and China, solved the difficulties of the DPRK government, opened up mutual markets in the Hexi Corridor, stabilized the situation outside the border, and brought rich taxes to the DPRK and China.

The current Zhang Yang is ranked as Shangshu Zuocheng, only thirty years old, only one step away from the phase, that is, after Zhang Gongjin passed away, he was determined to build Guanzhong.

Invite the twelve counties of Chang'an City to open workshops, pay fine taxes for the DPRK and China, and give the villagers in each county a place to work.

Counting the short past ten years, no matter what position this county marquis holds in the court, he can make a lot of achievements.

In the secretary's province, there is a file written by Shangguanyi himself, and now Shangguanyi has moved to Jingzhao Mansion, and this file has also been left in the secretary's province.

Subsequent officials recorded this file in the annals of history, and along with it, the infamy given to this marquis of Lishan County by the world was recorded.

This year, all parts of Guanzhong still sent truckloads of documents to Lishan.

At this moment, Lishan documents are the same as Xiaoshan, if others see so many documents, they will have given up.

Every year around the summer harvest, Zhang Yang reads these documents that record changes in water and soil.

Zhang Yang will patiently read all these documents, and then make a record and make a summary.

The water level of the Yellow River has dropped again, so spread out a map, observe the river channels on the map, and then take out the records of previous years to compare the extent of the water level drop.

Li Yue came with a basket of washed peaches, "This is from the palace." ”

"Hmm." Zhang Yang took a bite of the peach and splashed the juice.

Since a stone wall was built on the edge of the hot spring pond and an aqueduct was rebuilt, the hot spring water has been formed from top to bottom, forming flowing water, and then descending from the waterfall, Huaqing Pond has also become living water.

Li Yue gave peaches to his son and daughter to eat, and looked at the pool, there was a water outlet on the south side of Huaqing Pond.

When building a new home, Zhang Yang spent a lot of effort to build a waterway that winds around the mountain, so that the entire Lishan can be irrigated.

Lishan, which used to be barren, is now lush and green.

Zhang Yang ate peaches and wrote down the hydrological records of previous years, frowned and said: "The water level of the Yellow River has dropped a lot over the years, and the water level in Tongguan has dropped by more than a zhang since the early years of Wude?" ”

The Weishui runs through the entire Guanzhong from west to east, and the Yellow River flows down from Weibei, and the two rivers converge in Tongguan.

Tongguan has always been the place where Chang'an City is guarded, and it is also the east gate of Chang'an.

To the east of Tongguan is Hangu Pass.

Seeing that her husband was silently calculating, Li Yue observed, in fact, when he was focused, he was quite good-looking.

Several maps were laid out on the table, and the maps were very large, and many of them were spread along the table.

Zhang Yang took out another volume from the messy document and compared it carefully.

I thought of the construction of Tongguan in later generations and understood, from Hangu Pass to the west to Tongguan, there is a Cuihan ancient road, this ancient road leads directly to Tongguan.

In the past, Cao Cao built Tongguan and used it to defend Chang'an City.

It can be seen that Tongguan is the second obstacle to entering the customs in a certain sense, and it is also the lifeline of the pass.

It is no wonder that Ge Shuhan in the history books will not be able to defend Tongguan, and once Ge Shuhan is defeated, the rebels can go straight to Chang'an.

The drop in the water level of the Yellow River opened up the ancient road between Kunshan and Hangu Pass, and because the water level dropped, a road appeared in the north of Tongguan.

This road makes Tongguan more important, if you defend Tongguan, you can keep Guanzhong, and at the same time, you can also guard Tongguan to clamp the pass, and the offense and defense can also be interchanged, Tongguan is extremely important to Guanzhong.

Now this ancient road has appeared, which means that Tongguan will become a frontier defense area in the future.

Zhang Yang put down the pen in his hand and frowned: "I want to build a cargo distribution center in Tongguan." ”

Hearing her husband say this, Li Yue was curious: "Why?" ”

Zhang Yang said with a smile: "Due to the drop in the water level of the Yellow River, a road has appeared in the north of Tongguan, and this road will be extremely important, and our family can take this land first." ”

"Well, the confluence of Weishui and the Yellow River, the only way to enter the customs? So why not arrange it at Hangu Pass? ”

Zhang Yang shook his head and said: "The change of water and soil will also change the importance of geographical location, and the location of Hangu Pass will be awkward. ”

Li Yue frowned and said: "At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor's grandfather stationed troops in Tongguan to pacify the pass, and then sent troops to seek the Central Plains, relying on Hangu Pass. ”

"But the water level of the Yellow River was not so low at that time."

Listening to her husband's story, Li Yue suddenly said: "Husband wants to take this important land and master the main road of transportation inside and outside the customs?" ”

"Let's try it first, let the king of Jiangxia go to Tongguan."

Li Daozong and Pei Xingjian are building the twenty-four counties of Zuofu, and it is not a big problem to go to Tongguan by the way, if you want to expand, Tongguan will have to consider sooner or later.

If you can get a head start, it's best to do it now.

Li Yue wrote a letter according to what her husband said, and asked her aunt to arrange for someone to hand over the letter to Li Daozong.

There are many drawings in the library pavilion, and there is a chart that records the changes of water and soil in various parts of Guanzhong.

After reading the paperwork for a long time, Zhang Yang relaxed his eyes, the development of Lishan stumbled, and he could get by if it didn't go well, did it go well? There are a lot of ups and downs.

In his spare time in the afternoon, Zhang Yang and Li Yue built a bell tower on the mountainside of Lishan Mountain.

Li Yue loaded the mud into a wooden barrel and hung it on the hook of the scaffolding, and the husband could pull it up by standing on a high place.

Only the husband and wife built this bell tower.

Several bears came running around Li Yue, begging the hostess for food, and she gave them the dried meat in the cloth bag.

When these little bears come back, it means that the big bears are also here.

Not long after, Xiao Qingqing rode on the back of the bear and came slowly.

"Mother, Uncle King Jin is here."

Li Zhi followed, "Imperial sister, brother-in-law." ”

Zhang Yang got down from the scaffolding and said with a smile: "Why do you have time to come to Lishan today?" ”

Li Zhi found a clean stone and sat down, looking at Long Wujun in the distance, "I've always felt uncomfortable lately. ”

When Li Yue heard this, he continued to feed the bears.

Zhang Yang took a sip of tea and asked, "Why is it not refreshing?" What's going on? ”

Li Zhi said in a low voice: "No." ”

Seeing that he didn't want to say anything, Zhang Yang didn't ask, he also sat down on the side, and said, "I heard that after Shangguan Yi entered Jingzhao Mansion, Pei Xingjian's affairs became smoother and smoother. ”

"Shangguan Yi is a very capable person."

Zhang Yang drank tea and said: "In the past, your brother Wei Wang was always out of tune, and it wasn't for me, the brother-in-law, who beat him, otherwise he might still be wrestling with the prince in Chang'an." ”

Li Zhi said quietly: "Sometimes I think about why right and wrong in this world are so complicated. ”

"Right and wrong are always complicated, and there are more people scolding Lishan in this world."

Li Zhi said again: "Lishan is to build Guanzhong and enrich the world, but they still come to accuse Lishan, these people should be killed." ”

Patting him on the back, Zhang Yang said in a low voice: "Whether it is a person in Shilin or a Confucian scholar, their voices are only a small number of people after all, and their words are also for their interests, and they pretend that they are themselves in their hearts." ”

Li Zhi said again: "Lishan is pretending to be a person from the world. ”

Zhang Yang smiled again: "The masses of peasants or pawn peddlers, they are the biggest type of people in the world, and they are the cornerstone of the society." ”

Li Tai nodded heavily, "For the sake of the community, for the people, my younger brother was framed by the words of those people." ”

"In fact, there are some people, their words have long been separated from the masses, any Shilin and the like, after breaking away from the masses, their path will become more and more crooked, starting with formalization, and then their formalization will become more and more demanding, and then the people they absorb are more inclined to interests, which is why I usually let you walk around with the villagers from time to time."

"I told your father in the past that the masses are the greatest force in the world, and he seems to have listened to it, but he didn't seem to have listened, and I suggested that your father set up channels of communication with the masses in the state capitals of various places, but this matter has not been arranged so far."

Zhang Yang continued: "Therefore, all kinds of measures in Lishan are based on the interests of the villagers, and if the workshops opened in each county cannot ensure the interests of the villagers, I would rather let them be destroyed." ”

Xiao Qingqing was fighting with the little bears at home, and the newborn bears were very small, which was suitable for being bullied by her.

"Dad, my brother said that Xiong Si and Xiong Wu are getting better."

The atmosphere of the good conversation was broken, and Zhang Yang frowned and said, "What is he doing staring at a few bears all day?" ”

Xiao Qingqing said slowly: "That daddy doesn't care about him." ”

Li Zhi got up and said, "Now that my brother knows what to do, thank you brother-in-law for your enlightenment." ”

Seeing the bear arching himself with his head, Zhang Yang wrapped his arms around its neck, and one person and one bear scuffled on the ground.

Xiao Qingqing was laughing on the side, shouting: "Xiong Da, get up quickly!" ”

In the end, Xiong Da was carried on Zhang Yang's shoulder, Xiong Da couldn't move, so he could only scream and call, signaling that he was soft.

It was very difficult to fight with this bear, Zhang Yang was so tired that he sat down with his waist crossed, sweating profusely, and there was a lot of bear hair on his body.

The bear lay on the ground, staring at the man with black eyes and a little unconvinced, and then it rushed up again.

It's a pity that he was kicked away by Zhang Yang and fell to the ground again, and finally didn't dare to move.

"Xiong Da, it's really useless!"

"Xiong Da, it's really useless."

Xiao Qingqing also hit it with bamboo strips.

The bear, who had lost his temper, lay on the ground and let the little master whip it.

The mountain breeze brought a bit of coolness, Li Zhi looked at this warm family, and he suddenly understood that some people said that the county marquis living on Lishan Mountain was an immortal.

Now that a family can live like this, isn't it faster than the immortals?

Li Zhi glanced at the unfinished bell tower, turned around and went down the mountain, did not greet his brother-in-law and imperial sister, but left silently alone.

Outside Lishan Village, Gongsun Xiaoniang was waiting here with a sword, she was very dissatisfied with the guards of the Longwu Army here, because they did not allow her to follow His Royal Highness King Jin into the village.

"His Royal Highness King Jin!" She came running briskly.

"Well, let's go back." Li Zhi said in a low voice.

"Are you going back?"

Li Zhi stretched his waist and said with a smile: "Zhang Cambodia is a friend of this king, and it is not because of Zhang Xuanbi that he helped him." ”

Gongsun Xiaoniang responded: "Hmm." ”

Li Zhi said with a smile: "Their pavilion in the air has long been separated from the masses, what is there to fear, don't hurt my righteousness." ”

The two got into the carriage back to Chang'an, and Gongsun Xiaoniang sat on the wheel and looked at King Jin in the car.

Li Zhi sat cross-legged, breathing steadily, as if he was cultivating something.

Gongsun Xiaoniang looked at Lishan again, as a maid, it is not good to ask too many questions, and she wonders in her heart whether Lishan really has a way to become an immortal?

Half a month later, Li Daozong finished the matter explained by Lishan, and the county guard of Tongguan said that he would report the matter of Lishan's purchase of the river beach to the court.

The river beach is very large, with more than 1,000 acres.

Li Daozong couldn't figure out why Lishan wanted to buy the river beach, and what was the use of such a muddy river beach?

There are many things I can't figure out about Lishan, such as why Lishan has made many secret recipes public as if he had scattered his wealth.
