If everyone is idle, for the sake of so much power, they will form gangs all day long, and there will be a miasma.

Let the court turn around, let everyone be busy, there are endless things to do every day every year, and the court will stop.

There are still people quarreling in the court, upholding the atmosphere of chastity, quarreling if you disagree, and if you can't argue, you can do it, and the chickens and dogs in the Taiji Hall are not a day or two.

Cen Wenwen's work has returned to normal.

The matter of Lishan is a little less, and there are some pieces sent sporadically, which are not important things.

With nothing to do, Zhang Yang accompanied his daughter and son to grow vegetables in the field.

After planting vegetables, I took my sister and brother to the river to fish, so that I felt that I was closer to retirement.

Zhang Qingqing is a very smart child, her talent for mathematics is as good as her mother's, and she learns mathematics very quickly.

In fact, the teacher Zhang Gongjin liked her very much back then, and told her a lot, and most of the time the teacher taught her some resourcefulness skills.

I don't know how much this kid can learn.

Zhang Xin'an has a headache, this child has been angry since he was a child.

Qingqing has been brought by his master, so he can naturally rest assured.

But my son also needs a teacher who can take him for at least three or five years.

Zhang Yang's eyes moved from the river to the children around him, and sure enough, the kid fell asleep again.

Zhang Qingqing's mind was not on the river, she was holding a book in her hand and looking at it, what she was looking at was materialism.

There were several volumes of materialism, and what she was looking at now was the one with the content of consciousness.

"County Marquis!"

A shout made the fish that was about to bite the hook escape, and Zhang Xin'an also woke up from his sleep.

It was Li Tai's bodyguard, and he came quickly, stepping on some inconspicuous ripples on the riverbank.

"Dongyi has news."

Zhang Yang raised his voice and said, "Say." ”

He took out a volume of letters and handed it over, "All the royal families of the Japanese slaves have gone out of the city to surrender, and now Wen Ting has occupied the royal city of the Japanese slaves, and dozens of truckloads of silver mines have been sent to Chang'an City, the letter is the first step, and it will be possible to reach Guanzhong in half a month." ”

"Good!"

Zhang Yang looked excited.

"I will retire first."

"Did you get the news from the palace?"

"It's time to come."

Zhang Yang allowed him to leave, opened Wen Ting's letter and looked at it, a roll of cloth silk was full of dense words, Zhenguan fifteen years, when they first arrived on the island of Japanese slaves, they encountered wind and waves, and were trapped on an island for two months.

After that, he continued to cross the sea, and by the sixteenth year of Zhenguan, he had already laid down a large number of villages and small towns.

The Silla people had a hard time commanding, on the one hand, these people were too procrastinating in the war, and on the other hand, their execution was poor.

So after they had conquered a large territory, they stopped.

Since then, he has been training his troops, during which he sent people to find silver mines.

It took another half a year, and in the winter of the sixteenth year of Zhenguan, Wen Ting and He Bi felt that they had trained the Silla people well, so they continued to send troops to attack.

The letter describes the process in great detail, and it also says that the Japanese slaves hid the silver mines.

The nobles of the Japanese slaves were fools, and they were willing to make cattle and horses after they got a piece of Tang clothes.

They are also some extremely poor people, compared to the materially rich Datang, those people are so poor that they are poor.

Wen Ting said that he liked the warmth there, but felt uncomfortable after soaking for a long time.

Why was he tired of killing, he went back to Silla first.

The letter said that they still had not found any trace of the bearded man, and they were still waiting for Lishan to reply.

Li Yue saw that her husband came back with the child, and she was curious about her husband and walked straight into the study.

After rummaging in the study for a while, Zhang Yang found some drawings and secret recipes, "I plan to send these secret recipes out and give them to the Japanese slaves to make." ”

"Well, these are the secret recipes that the husband gave up."

Among them, there is a secret recipe for firing glass with high translucency, and a secret recipe for lime.

These are highly polluting workshops, and Guanzhong does not build these because these are not only bad for the environment, but also harmful to the human body.

In addition, there are several volcanoes in the territory of the Japanese slaves, and the rare materials in Guanzhong are readily available there.

The husband and wife sat opposite each other, Li Yue shook the goose feather fan in her hand, like a master, she said in a low voice: "Most of the court is going to have a piece of music again." ”

Zhang Yang drank tea and nodded.

"Does Lishan want to be involved in these things?"

"If you don't participate, leave it all to the court to arrange, Lishan will not participate in these things, let alone ask about it, I will let people send them back if they have a piece of music."

"Very good."

Li Yue nodded in agreement.

In a high position, you also have to know how to retreat, and besides, there are enough capable people in the court now, in addition to transferring these harmful workshops out of Lishan, as for how to govern and arrange, it is all the business of those people in the imperial city.

Zhang Yang sorted out the drawings, "If I blindly interfere, how can I retire as soon as possible." ”

While speaking, Li Yue raised his eyes and saw a piece of paper hanging on the wall, four words: retire as soon as possible.

Not surprisingly, Dongyi's war report arrived, and the court immediately sent a small cart of concerts, which were all admonished by the Manchu courtiers and military generals.

Zhang Qingqing faced the officials in front of him alone, saluted: "My father is unwell, and he can't even lift a pen recently." ”

"......"

"I'm really sorry that my father is sick."

A few civil officials, you look at me, I look at it and I am speechless for a while, has this huge Lishan let this little county lord take care of things?

"There is a piece of music here from the prime minister, and Cen Zhongcheng specially instructed that it must be watched."

Zhang Qingqing said again: "You can give me the performance of Fang Xiang, and send the rest back, it's hard work." ”

A few civil officials had no choice but to pull a small cart of music back.

Fang Xiang is the one who wants to be a teacher for his younger brother, and he still has to watch his recitals, she patted Xiong Da's head, "Go home." ”

Xiong Da slapped away a duck that didn't know whether it was alive or dead, and carried the little master back to the mountain.

"Dad, the recital of the Fang Xiang."

Zhang Yang blew the tea leaves on the tea water, Xiaohui's younger brother is very good at doing things, and this year he gave Lishan a lot of new tea, "Take it." ”

Zhang Qingqing put the recital on the table, "Will Fang Xiang accept his younger brother?" ”

Zhang Yang opened the chapter and looked at it, and said in a low voice: "If Fang Xiang does not agree, the family will slowly corrupt him with all kinds of favors and materials, and make friends with his family until he succumbs." ”

"It's so vicious."

"It's very vicious, so those who are officials in the court must be determined."

"What our family has is money, and it's not for Fang Xiang to do things that violate morality, it's not easy to find a teacher for my younger brother, Uncle Wen is good, but he is too close to his father."

Fang Xiang's recital expressed a worry, which was the worry of some old-fashioned ministers in the court, Pei Xingjian and Ashinadur had already started a war against Xue Yantuo.

The Western Expedition was followed by the Northern Expedition, and Dongyi's war report came, followed by a lot of news, Wen Ting They were not soldiers in the DPRK, but they were Tang people, and such a killing in Dongyi overseas hurt Tianhe.

The tripartite war in the north, west, and east of the Tang Dynasty was carried out one after another.

There were too many wars in the Zhenguan Dynasty, and if it goes on like this, it will only make more people feel that Zhenguan was warlike and cannot let the Tang Dynasty fall into the quagmire of war.

Zhang Qingqing stood on tiptoe and looked at the content on the chapter, "Daddy, does Datang want a truce?" ”

Zhang Yang replied: "If there is a truce, Datang will stop expanding, and there will be no resources." ”

Zhang Qingqing pondered: "The emperor will agree to a truce? ”

Zhang Yang said with a smile: "The western expedition to Persia is to save Persia, and the northern expedition to defeat Xue Yantuo is because of their internal strife, and they go to sea to attack the Japanese slaves and because the Japanese slaves harbor evil intentions, every war in the Tang Dynasty is justified, since there is a legitimate reason, why be afraid of these words." ”

"Daddy is right, the emperor has gained so much wealth because of the war, if he wants a truce, he will lose more than he gains."

"Where's your brother?"

Zhang Qingqing looked around when he heard this, and replied: "Most of them are going to catch someone's dog to play with." ”

Zhang Yang said in a low voice: "Let him apprentice earlier, let him understand some rules, the people of Lishan always spoil him, and he needs to find a strict teacher." ”

"Then it can't be a text uncle."

The daughter is very smart, this is a child who was taught by one hand.

Of the three children in the family, Qiu'er's growth is the slowest.

The family has paid the most effort to her daughter, Li Yue has the strictest discipline, she has Zhang Gongjin's guidance, and General Li Jing teaches the art of war, and her teachers are the top in the world.

Zhang Yang wrote a reply, and asked her to arrange for someone to send the recital back to the court.

In September of the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, the silver mine sent from Dongyi arrived, half of which was given to Tian Khan, and the other half to Lishan.

Truckloads of silver ore covered with oilcloth were sent to the warehouse of Lishan at one time, and there were more than 30 truckloads, totaling tens of thousands of catties of silver ore.

The news that the Japanese slaves had silver mines exploded in the court.

The people were sent out by Lishan, and it is natural that Lishan can get benefits.

The impeachment recital of the court and the central government was sent to the emperor's desk like snowflakes.

Zhang Yang watched the silver ingots smelted out of the iron factory, and it seemed that the years were quiet.

Lishan was so arrogant that he took half of the silver mine without giving any explanation to the court.

Li Tai peeled the tea eggs, and asked the guards who followed behind him to carry a pot, "Brother-in-law, do you eat tea eggs?" ”

Zhang Yang took one and ate it, "His Royal Highness King Wei, you still have to eat less." ”

"Eat once or twice once in a while, and give them something to eat usually." He said, gesturing to the guards behind him.

Li Tai said again: "I don't like to eat now, I prefer to eat, I enjoy it every time I cook food, but when the food is on the plate, I don't have much appetite, brother-in-law, do you think I'm sick." ”

"People have a limited amount of food, so it's enough to eat some necessary food every day."

"Well, the king's guards are fat."

"Gave them all food?"

"They have a good appetite and don't dare to waste anything."

A group of guards laughed even more forcefully.

"That's right." Li Tai wiped his hands with the sleeves of the guards, sat down and said, "I heard that the Imperial Historical Observatory has fallen out recently, and they are condemning Lishan. ”

"What are they denouncing Lishan?"

"It was said that Lishan took a lot of silver mines."

Zhang Yang picked up a cool silver ingot and weighed it in his hand, "The conquest of Dongyi did not use the manpower of Guanzhong, even if it was the conquest of Baekje, it did not use the soldiers and horses of the court, they are all my people, what do they have to denounce." ”

"Besides, I agreed with your father that I would divide the account fifty-fifty, which was agreed."

Li Tai thought sadly: "Now Chang'an City doesn't know when there is a kind of atmosphere, and they all say that there is no evidence, and the words are based on the evidence. ”

"His Royal Highness King Wei is saying that I have agreed with His Majesty that I will not count, right?"

Li Tai nodded solemnly, "Probably yes, so there will be more people scolding Lishan, of course, there are also people who support Lishan, who wants to do the cause of expanding the territory." ”

"And what did your father say?"

"Father, ......"

"Angry?"

Li Tai shook his head and said, "It's not angry, it's just that people have washed Chengtianmen again." ”

"Huh? What does the Celestial Gate do? ”

"I don't know, why don't you ask my brother-in-law?"

"I've been pretty busy lately."

Zhang Yang took a bite to put the remaining half of the tea egg into his mouth and strode away.

Another sum of money has been added to the family, and this is only the first time it has been brought, and there will be more silver mines in the future.

When the family is rich, Li Yue is very happy, she hums the tune of the year and dries her clothes.

"Huh? The husband is back. ”

She was busy serving tea and water in the back, and then pressed her shoulder.

Zhang Yang sat on the chair, "There are more silver mines over there, and there is also the matter of building a workshop over there, I have already asked people to send the drawings and letters to him, and it will be delivered to Wen Ting by the end of this year." ”

Li Yue pressed her husband's shoulder, she was in a very good mood, she had plenty of foresight, and Lishan had a lot of money.

Even if you build a railway, it's not bad for money.

With a beautiful smile on her face, she watched her home with its glass windows, shining in the sun, and the interior of the house was better lit.

"I heard that the people who were killed withered, and I don't know if there are enough people to make cement and glass for our house."

Zhang Yang smiled: "How many people can you need, 10,000?" A few hundred or thousands of people is enough. ”

"What do you want to eat at night?"

As soon as he heard that his daughter-in-law was about to cook, Zhang Yang's shoulders tightened and he was about to sit up, "Eat ......"

"How about you eat dumplings?"

"Sure enough, it's dumplings again."

Zhang Yang's face is as difficult as color, her daughter-in-law's craftsmanship is not superb, and noodles and dumplings are the only things she is good at.

"The dumplings are good, I just want to eat them."

Hearing her husband say this, she was even more satisfied, and she went to prepare with brisk steps.

After a while, Zhang Xin'an hurriedly came, "Dad, my mother is going to make dumplings." ”

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "I know." ”

"During the Chinese New Year, our family ate dumplings for a month!"

"I ate it too."

Zhang Xin'an scratched his head painfully, "Now I have to eat it again, why!" It's dumplings again, and it's with celery, why! ”

"It's good to eat some, but don't say you won't eat when you eat."

"Hmm." He nodded aggrievedly and glanced at his sister.

Zhang Qingqing also walked over with an embarrassed face, "Why are dumplings again, Daddy, I want to eat roast duck." ”

"You two obediently eat the dumplings, and when it's late at night, I'll give you roast duck to eat."

"Thank you, Dad."

"Don't tell your mother yet."

"Whoa."

The two siblings reached a consensus on the question of what to eat.

It's the last day of the month! Asking for a monthly pass!!!
