Wang Xuance smiled awkwardly, waved his hand and said, "There is only one general in a certain family, and the west expedition to Tianzhu?" That's all about the generals. ”

With that, he hummed a little tune again and lay down leisurely.

When leaving, Di Renjie looked back at Wang Xuance, who was out of tune, and frowned: "Has this person always been so casual?" ”

Li Zhi explained: "I heard Pei Xingjian say that he is a lazy person, he was like this when he was on the Western Expedition, he didn't move if he could, and he hid if he could avoid trouble." ”

"But it's a person like him, full of military strategy, brave and resourceful in marching and fighting, Xue Rengui and Liang Jianfang have commented that he is a genius, not that he has a lot of experience, but this is ......."

Keeping his mouth shut, hesitating again and again, Li Zhi commented discouragedly: "Maybe there are rules and regulations." ”

There are more and more young talents in Datang, but there are so many with eccentric temperaments.

If you see a lot of eccentric people, you won't be surprised.

For example, the immortal on Li Mountain.

Tian Khan sent troops to the north, and there was a lot of talk in the market.

Some people said that this expedition should not be, and some people said that it should be.

If the four Yi can be full of respect for the Heavenly Khan and bow down to the vassals, then the Heavenly Khan will give you great favors.

If someone makes a rebellion, the Heavenly Khan can also send troops to extinguish it, and Xue Yantuo's rebellion and disobedience to the indoctrination is one of the reasons.

The heavenly khan of grace and power is awe-inspiring.

On Lishan Mountain, it is still quiet today, with occasional whistles.

Zhang Yang was by the Huaqing Pool, he wrote four words on the paper with a pen, and said, "Daughter-in-law, what do you think?" ”

Li Yue glanced at it with a solemn expression, "Retire early?" ”

"Is there progress?"

"Alas, the husband's words are almost in their own right, how can there be progress?"

Xiao Wu and Xiao Hui covered their mouths and chuckled, the teacher had always disliked the master's calligraphy.

It's also strange that the master has practiced calligraphy for so many years, and he is still standing still.

Zhang Yang looked at the words and smiled: "I want to hang it in the study, take it out every day, and always remind myself to retire as soon as possible." ”

The mountain wind blew, Huaqing Pond set off ripples, and Li Yue said in a low voice: "Some people's ambition is to be a scholar and a first, some people want to revise the history of the country, and some people want to be a general who commands thousands of troops." ”

Li Yue looked at the two disciples and said, "Only your master is different, his ambition is to retire as soon as possible." ”

Xu Hui said: "Master has always been different. ”

Xiao Wu sighed: "What's the use of those false names, I'm not thinking about building Guanzhong now, and I don't know how the counties are arranged, the disciple will go and take a look." ”

Xu Hui also stood up and said, "Disciple also go and have a look." ”

Under the clear sky, the warmth of the sun on the body feels very comfortable.

Recently, the envoys of various countries in Chang'an City are still preparing to congratulate.

Belus, the king of Persia, ordered five stone tablets to be sent to Lishan.

Zhang Qingqing frowned and said, "Can't you Persia come up with decent things?" Why did you send such a stone slab, you look at the Gaochang people, the jade sent is a cartload, and even Tubo has given so many cattle to Lishan. ”

Several Persian envoys smiled bitterly and saluted the noble little lord repeatedly.

Zhang Xin'an's gaze was on the words on the stone slab, "Then pull it to the mountain." ”

The sisters and brothers ordered the slate to be placed on a cart, and Zhang Qingqing took the scrolls they handed over, and let the Persian envoys leave, and he led the cart to Lishan.

In addition to congratulating the Heavenly Khan, the envoys of various countries will also send gifts to Lishan, which is almost every year.

The Turks would send a lot of wool and sheep, the Tibetans would send yaks, and the Western Regions would send a lot of jade and various curiosities.

At that time, my father served as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and was in charge of the foreign affairs of the Tang Dynasty, whether it was the Hexi Corridor or the four towns of Anxi, they were all taken back at that time.

Not to mention the current Tibet and Persia.

Lishan accepts all these gifts.

Zhang Xin'an asked: "Sister, it is said that these envoys gave more gifts to Lishan than to Chaohetian Khan. ”

Zhang Qingqing said wistfully: "You stupid brother, you can't even understand this. ”

"Please also ask my sister to give advice."

"Now Daddy's attitude is very important, as long as Daddy is happy, he can also make the countries outside the border well, if Daddy is unhappy, it can also make them restless."

"They respect Lishan because Lishan has a bottom line and will never do anything to kill, and Daddy's previous promises to Songtsan Gampo and Gaochang have been implemented one by one, so they respect Lishan very much."

"They love the Heavenly Khan, and they will respect their father, and now the Tang Dynasty is rectifying the soldiers and horses in various parts of the Western Regions, if they can get the attention of Lishan, they will be able to get great benefits, and even a Persia that is about to perish can be supported, what else can't be done?"

Zhang Xin'an nodded heavily, and let his sister go.

Zhang Qingqing glanced at the stone slabs again, and walked up to Lishan in three steps and two steps.

After the wooden cart was pulled onto the car, the villagers were allowed to descend the mountain.

Zhang Xin'an walked into the study quickly, "Dad! The king of Persia sent several stone tablets. ”

Zhang Yang was still looking at the words early retirement in a daze, and only then did he come back to his senses when he heard his son's words, walked outside the house, and saw the stone slab on the wooden cart.

The slate is thick and is made of marble.

Frowning and looking at the writing on the slate, the handwriting was blurry and illegible, it was not Persian writing.

Some are closer to hieroglyphs.

Cuneiform?

Zhang Yang frowned and said, "This is the Code of Hammurabi. ”

Zhang Xin'an was curious: "What code?" ”

"In ancient Babylonian time there was a king of Hammurabi, who ordered the law to be written, and it became this code, which was supposed to be in the temple of ancient Babylon."

The slabs are long and large, nearly three meters high.

The Persians crossed the entire Western Regions in order to offer this treasure, and they don't know how many people died of exhaustion along the way.

In order to curry favor with Lishan, they can't care about human life.

Zhang Yang placed it next to the wall of his house.

Zhang Qingqing asked, "These slate looks quite ordinary. ”

"The words on it are priceless."

"Really? Can these words make Lishan rich? ”

"Some things have to go through the years before their value can be revealed, but unfortunately, this is not the complete Code of Hammurabi."

It is true that ancient Babylon did not have magical hanging gardens, but it did have a real legal code.

Zhang Qingqing handed over a book, "This is sent by the king of Persia as a messenger." ”

Taking the scroll in his daughter's hand, Zhang Yang opened it and looked at it, Belus's Guanzhong handwriting was not good, and it was written about the current situation in Persia.

The Persians accepted a lot of big food refugees, and they learned the script and language of the Central Plains, and the Persians are learning the Central Plains script today.

In the letters, the king of Persia is about to regard the Tang Dynasty as his lifelong yearning, and he wants all Persians to learn from the Tang Dynasty.

Zhang Yang put down the letter and did not like this kind of flattery.

It's easy to write a book of loyalty, but it's hard to do it for the rest of your life.

Even if it is hypocritical, if he can practice it for the rest of his life.

That's sincerity, and now these words of the king of Persia are nothing more than to let the Heavenly Khan know how loyal he is.

Zhang Yang put these stone slabs into his own warehouse.

After all, this is the unique Code of Hammurabi in history.

Although its existence may not be relevant to Datang, Zhang Yang wants to keep it well.

At night, Li Yue sat under the oil lamp, sewing clothes for the children, "Qiu'er, the older you get, now you can eat with chopsticks." ”

Zhang Yang said: "Well, when Xin'an is as old as him, he will only let his aunt feed it with a spoon." ”

In the quiet home, only the sound of water in Huaqing Pond can be heard.

This kind of water sound is not big or small, not close or far, and it is very comfortable to listen to.

After a long time, I feel that I can't hear this sound, and I won't be able to sleep well.

Li Yue cut the thread, looked at the small clothes made for her daughter, and looked a little solemn, "Why hasn't my father's money arrived yet?" ”

"Haven't you given it yet?"

"Well, the silver money for the 100 guns has not been paid so far, has the husband forgotten to write an exhortation chapter?"

Zhang Yang held the book in one hand and the teacup in the other, his eyes still on the book, "I'll write another one." ”

"Even if Lishan resists the decree, the father can't not pay the silver, this is not a thing, the father is selfish, but the two families can't get along like this."

After that, Li Yue walked into the study to write a letter, and said to the aunt who was packing up the children's toys outside the house: "Aunt Wang, arrange for someone to hand over this letter to the queen mother." ”

Aunt Wang nodded and accepted the letter.

Zhang Yang glanced at it in surprise.

"It's okay, it's very tactful, I didn't mention the artillery and my father's failure to pay the money." Li Yue nodded confidently.

Seeing her husband's gaze, she wondered, "Isn't it appropriate?" I'll ask my aunt to take the letter back. ”

Zhang Yang took her hand and said with a smile: "That's fine, you are the hostess of the house, so you naturally have to have grace and care." ”

Leaning on her husband's arms, Li Yue frowned and said, "What kind of teacher should I find for my son?" ”

"Huh? Didn't Mr. Ouyang Xun take it? ”

"The old gentleman is too old to be suitable."

Zhang Yang sat on the chair, hugged his daughter-in-law, covered the back of her cold hand with both hands, and thought: "If you want to find it, you must find the best." ”

"Looking at Lishan, many elderly people have not yet been suitable."

"When he grows up a little more, let Brother Wen take him, Chang'an City and Lishan are a little troublesome back and forth, but it's worth it."

Li Yue nodded heavily, "Then wait for the child to grow up a little more, and then think about it." ”

The couple fell silent again.

"How's it going?"

"Fang Xiang is busy in the court every day, how can we let our children apprentice?"

After listening to her husband's words, Li Yue fell into contemplation again, and she must put a lot of thought and effort into the growth of her son and daughter.

If you want to find a teacher, you have to find the best.

As if he had a thought in his heart, or a feeling, Cen Wenwen came to Lishan the next day.

Zhang Yang walked in the field with his hands, looking at the changes in water and soil this year, even if he became a scholar, he could not forget the work of Taifu Temple.

Holding his hands, he said, "Brother Wen, how many years have passed. ”

Cen Wenwen stroked his beard and smiled: "Is the county marquis going to lament the changes of the years?" ”

Zhang Yang sat down on the edge of the ridge, "How many years have passed, and I am still the only one in this Taifu Temple." ”

"It is also said that most of the new students who enter the imperial examination will not go to Taifu Temple."

"Nongsang needs to be governed, and the DPRK and China cannot favor one over the other."

Cen Wenwen sighed: "The lower officials will arrange for Zhongshu Province to ask more questions on the governance of agriculture and mulberry in the future imperial examination policy. ”

"Then there will be labor."

Zhang Yang took him to a warehouse in Lishan and took out two baskets, which were filled with salted duck eggs.

"These eggs are for Brother Wen."

"The county marquis is still so polite." Cen Wenwen accepted it with a smile.

"There is also a basket for Fang Xiang."

"Phase? However, I had never heard that Fang Xiang had dealings with the county marquis before, but Zhao Guogong had a few conversations with the county marquis. ”

Zhang Yang stood against the door of the warehouse, waved his hands and said, "Let's tell you the truth." ”

"I want to hear about it."

"My son is seven years old this year, and I plan to find him a teacher, thinking that Brother Wen is just right."

"Okay." Cen Wenwen stroked his beard and smiled: "Xiaguan saw that the child of the county marquis is a talent that can be created, and he will be a pillar in the future." ”

Zhang Yang said: "It's a joke, our children in Lishan are not in the official career. ”

Cen Wenwen smiled embarrassedly, "Even if you are not an official, you can be an idle official, Your Majesty is suspicious of Lishan, but Lishan doesn't want to be a family, neither a family, just a little scribe, don't hold real power, don't get in the way." ”

"Hehehe...... My son's lifelong dream is to buy Chang'an City. ”

"Hmm......" Cen Wenwen nodded knowingly, "Then I have to teach him more about how to behave." ”

"Originally, I thought that Brother Wen was the best candidate, but my family wanted to find a top teacher for my child, so I discussed with you and regarded you as an alternative, and then tried every possible way to get his consent."

Cen Wenwen's smile stiffened on his face, "The county marquis is really straightforward. ”

Zhang Yang patted him on the shoulder and said, "I have always been like this, we are friends." ”

"Does the county marquis want the officials to help him go to the house?"

"If you want to, you'll have to work."

Cen Wenwen sighed discouraged, "Being a friend of the county marquis makes people feel very down-to-earth. ”

Looking at the few pieces in his hand, Zhang Yang said again: "Friends naturally have to be down-to-earth. ”

"Yes, so the county marquis has always had few friends."

Cen Wenwen left with two baskets, but the good thing was that this time he didn't turn back three times.

Zhang Yang held three recitals in his hand, one was the recital of the Northern Expedition, one was the report on the governance of the Yellow River and the clearing of sand, and one was the teaching work this year.

Datang's volunteer teaching work has been carried out for five years, and it has been quite effective in the past five years.

The court felt that it was necessary to increase the scale, and was ready to send the teachers to various places in the south of the Yangtze River.

This is the case with the court, when they taste the benefits of teaching, they will continue to do it more intensively.

The court of the Tang Dynasty is like a sponge, absorbing talents from all walks of life, and at the same time putting talents from all walks of life into various parts of the Central Plains, and pressing out the water after absorbing the water.

In this way, the court will be balanced, and when everyone has a career to do and a career to do, there will be fewer people who are intrigue.
