After taking care of the garden, Li Yue stepped forward and took a look at Zhang Yang's painting and said, "The house in this painting is so beautiful."
A two-story villa is painted on the wooden board.
Zhang Yang said: "How about we build our homes like this in the future?"
Li Yue hesitated a little, frowned and said, "Isn't this house too beautiful?"
Zhang Yang looked at the house he drew and said, "Wouldn't it be more beautiful?"
"Um……"
Li Yue hesitated for a while and said: "It's so beautiful. How about we live in a simpler house."
"Why?"
Zhang Yang said curiously.
Li Yue took the wooden board and looked at the house painted on it happily and said: "Such a beautiful house can only be seen in dreams."
Zhang Yang whispered: "What you dream about can also be made."
Li Yue held the wooden board and kept shaking her head, "No, you can just build a simple house, the same as others."
After speaking, Li Yue hugged the wooden board and placed it next to her bed.
After looking at it for a long time, my eyes looked longingly, as if I and Zhang Yang lived in this beautiful house.
There is still some loss in the happy eyes, maybe one day I will leave Zhang Yang.
I don't know how long I can be with him.
I don’t know if my disease can be cured.
Zhang Yang picked up a wooden board again and drew the house again with charcoal. He thought that the house was too beautiful and Li Yue didn't want to live in it.
I don’t know what my daughter-in-law thinks.
Then build an ordinary house.
Zhang Yang sketched it by himself while thinking about it.
Li Yue's room has many treasures, many toys made by Zhang Yang, and volumes of books containing many stories Zhang Yang told...
Your Majesty has issued an order to send more troops to Liangzhou and the passes west of Liangzhou. It seems that he is really going to attack Tuyuhun.
The DPRK has been very busy these days.
Military reports kept coming from the border.
There are also military reports that continue to leave Chang'an City and be sent to the border.
Li Chengqian was sitting in the East Palace, wondering in his heart: "Is the father really planning to use troops against Tuyuhun?"
Li Gang, the prince's advisor, said in a low voice: "I thought that His Majesty was still planning to avoid war and make peace, but now it seems that he really wants to use troops."
Li Baiyao on the side said with a worried look on his face: "This is not a good time to use troops. The past two years have either been years of disaster or have used troops internally and externally. We finally took a break. The people of the Tang Dynasty have only lived in peace for a few days. Now is the time to start a war."
The burden is too great.”
Li Chengqian looked at Li Gang and said, "Teacher, what do you think?"
Li Gang sat upright and said: "The most important thing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should care about now is to learn more about the knowledge of the saints, rather than looking forward and backward at this time."
Home decoration still needs to be kept up to date.
Zhang Yang first bought a cart in the city and pushed it all the way out of the city.
Go to the countryside to collect some stones, and it is best to find some substitutes for mortar.
As the saying goes, if conditions are difficult, hardship must be overcome.
Although you can't burn bricks, it's still good to pick some good stones and make them square and flat to build a house.
The sun was shining on the river. Zhang Yang was sitting by the river, patiently sorting the stones, sometimes knocking them, and sometimes throwing useless stones into the river.
"The surname is Zhang!"
What a familiar greeting.
Zhang Yang wondered if this little fat man sent someone to follow him every day, and why he could find him wherever he went.
After struggling to put on a smile, Zhang Yang looked back, "His Royal Highness, King Wei, why are you here again?"
Li Tai came with a few people, looked around and said, "It's really fate that I can meet you whenever I go out for a walk."
"Is it fate?"
"Yes, it's all fate."
While Li Tai was talking, he saw the stones at Zhang Yang's feet. These stones were all square and square. The stones were stacked one on top of another. The sizes of the stones were almost the same.
When I walked in, I saw that the dimensions were incredibly detailed. It’s not like an experienced craftsman couldn’t do this.
Li Tai asked: "What are you doing repairing these stones?"
Zhang Yang was still chipping away at the stone and said, "Repair the house. Winter is coming soon. I plan to repair the house at home."
"Really? Do you need my help?"
Zhang Yang quickly waved his hand and said: "I still want to decorate my own house according to my own ideas, and don't want others to interfere."
Li Tai said: "Isn't it tiring for you to do it alone?"
"Your Highness King Wei, you don't know something. If you do some things yourself, you will not only have a sense of accomplishment, but you can also save money."
While talking, Zhang Yang polished the stone and repaired it with a chisel.
After all sides of the stone were smooth, Zhang Yang placed the repaired stone at his feet.
Wasting time is a very bad thing.
While talking, you must not waste time doing things.
Li Tai said: "I plan to do the soap business you mentioned before, and I have brought all the people."
After thinking about it, as the old saying goes, sharpening the knife does not waste time chopping wood, and there is no harm in delaying it for a while.
Industrial development is related to the quality of life of your future retirement life.
Zhang Yang stopped what he was doing and looked at the person behind Li Tai.
The two middle-aged men standing behind Li Tai bowed slightly and said, "I have met Mr. Zhang."
Li Tai introduced: "These two people fought with my father in the past, and they are also members of the clan. At that time, my father was still the King of Qin. In the past, how could my father care about us brothers and sisters? They are also these two cousins."
He has always taken care of me, and he is a very close person to me. I am trustworthy, so you can rest assured."
Although it is not good news for the prince to do business, it is indeed a way to let someone from the clan handle it on his behalf.
Moreover, there are also members of the royal family who have their own properties outside and have people take care of them, but the actual controllers are still these members of the royal family.
This kind of thing is not uncommon in all dynasties.
The people in the clan are all relatives of Li Shimin, and most of them are cousins.
Li Tai stretched out a chubby hand.
Zhang Yang said suspiciously: "Your Highness, King Wei, what does this mean?"
Li Tai emphasized: "Soap!"
Zhang Yang cleared his throat and said, "I've been very busy recently, and I don't have time to make soap."
After finishing speaking, Zhang Yang took out another piece of cloth and said, "Gather all the things on this piece of cloth, and we'll meet here tomorrow."
Li Tai gave the strip of cloth to the two uncles behind him, "I'm sorry to trouble you two uncles."
The two took Li Tai's note and left.
Li Tai sat down and said: "I have read a lot of case files recently and read a lot about Buddhism. Buddhism is indeed a bit too strong right now. If there are more and more monks, there will be less and less strong labor force.
"
Zhang Yang was still chipping away at the stone.
Li Tai continued: "If everyone goes to Buddhism, eats fasting and chants Buddha's name all day long, and no one goes to fight, it will be like cutting flesh with a soft knife. It doesn't matter at first, but after a long time, you will find that Buddhism harms the country."
After talking for a while, I saw Zhang Yang still chiseling the stone.
"Are you listening to me?" Li Tai's fat face was full of anxiety.
Zhang Yang put down a trimmed stone and started chiseling the stone again.
Li Tai looked at Zhang Yang with a calm expression in surprise, wondering if this guy was deaf.
"Are you listening to what I am saying?"
Zhang Yang turned to look at Li Tai with a frown, "What did His Highness King Wei just say?"
Li Tai became more and more surprised. He was not deaf anymore?
"I said……"
He said what he said before again.
Zhang Yang said: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei, I haven't even studied for a few years, so I don't understand these things."
The corners of Li Tai's mouth twitched unconsciously, "You can see Tuyuhun's weakness at a glance, you can tell the shortcomings of Buddhism in one sentence, and you said you haven't studied for a few years."
After blowing on the surface of the repaired stone and trying to make it smooth, Zhang Yang put it down with satisfaction.
Li Tai stood up and said, "Actually, I want to set fire to the temples outside right now."
"Wait!"
Zhang Yang called him to stop.
Li Tai looked back at Zhang Yang, "You must have something to do, right?"
Zhang Yang said helplessly: "If His Highness the King of Wei is beaten to death for setting fire to the temple, I will be helpless. If His Highness the King of Wei wants to frame me after setting fire to the temple, I can only kill the King of Wei now."
Silence."
"..."
Li Tai stood there speechless for a long time. He would actually suspect that the king framed him? "Is this the kind of person I am? Would I be so unloyal?"
Zhang Yang said in a low voice: "After His Royal Highness the King of Wei passed away, I will burn paper money and offer incense every day, and then I will shed tears alone to mourn him."
After being stunned for a while, Li Tai walked back and sat down, "I realized that if one day, the sky is going to fall, you will definitely be the fastest one."
"Oh, Your Majesty the King of Wei has given you the award."
"I am not praising you."
Zhang Yang looked at Li Tai. This little fat man was quite jealous. Thinking of the harm to the temple, he wanted to deal with Buddhism.
He has a good heart, and this little fat guy like King Wei is worth cultivating.
I just get impatient easily.
Zhang Yang said: "Why haven't I noticed before that His Highness the King of Wei likes to set fire to people's houses? What a strange hobby."
Li Tai: "..."
Sitting down and standing up again, Li Tai paced back and forth for a while.
Zhang Yang said: "Can you stop dazzling me?"
Li Tai hesitated and said: "I don't want to sit idly by and do nothing."
Feeling a little tired from sitting, Zhang Yang stood up and stretched his muscles, "If His Highness the King of Wei must set fire to the temple, he may be the leader of the King of Wei soon. It is said that destroying a person's wealth is like killing one's parents. There will be many people."
I hate King Wei."
"how do I say this?"
"The prosperity of Buddhism must be fueled by people. Buddhism has a backer, and the powerful can make money. The forces involved must be quite large, and there are even powerful people who pay dividends every year. This is not only a belief, but also a business. Does His Highness the King of Wei think that
Won’t you come out?”
After hearing these words, Li Tai froze on the spot and swallowed hard.
A few words awakened the dreamer, and Li Tai seemed to have just woken up from a nightmare. Is it possible that Buddhism can flourish without someone adding fuel to the flames? Isn’t it possible that other people’s interests are intertwined?
Li Tai's forehead was covered with cold sweat, he had not thought of such a thing.
Yes, isn't there anyone behind this who is adding fuel to the flames? Are these Buddhist schools really clean?
Are you really just a monk?
How many shameful things are there in this?
Li Tai sat down weakly, his face a little pale. This matter is not that simple. It's just a few more temples. It's nothing. He's just afraid that there are other forces behind him to protect him. Just like Zhang Yang said, if you don't
The road to wealth is like killing your parents.
If I really do this, even if I am the King of Wei, they will punish me to death. They are not afraid of the monks, but they are afraid of the faces of the invisible forces behind me.
No wonder my father would say this.
An impulse almost turned into an eternal hatred.
Zhang Yang said: "Your Highness, King Wei, go and set fire to the temple. I will wave the flag and cheer for you."
Li Tai smiled awkwardly, "I am joking, why do you take it seriously?"
"Yeah?"
"Yes, yes."
Li Tai held his chubby face with both hands and kept nodding. His chubby face looked harmless and innocent.
This little fat man has such a smile on his fat little face, but he looks a bit twisted.
He's obviously a scheming little fat guy, but he still acts cute.
"Your Highness, King Wei, can you change back? It's so weird."
Li Tai waved his hand and said, "I am just a child."
Zhang Yang said coldly: "What a terrible child. I really want to strangle you to death before you grow up."
Li Tai: "..."
Clearing his throat, Zhang Yang returned to normal and said: "Actually, it's not that there is no way, but this way is a bit different."
"any solution?"
"Monks are men too."
"Speak more clearly." The little fat man's expression finally returned to normal.
"Actually, many men in this world are lustful. They say that the word "sex" is a knife in the head, but when it comes to lust, anyone can say that they are innocent."
Hearing what Zhang Yang said, Li Tai nodded pertinently, "That's not good. Those guys who call themselves gentlemen are too hypocritical."
Zhang Yang continued: "If you send a group of girls to show off their beauty, and their clothes are not very tight, and go to the monk's temple every day to offer incense, if they break the precepts, shouldn't they return to secular life?"
After the words fell, Li Tai was stunned for a while.
A fish jumped up from the calm surface of the river and then fell into the river with a splash.
It was as if something that he couldn't figure out before had a breakthrough direction in his mind. Li Tai felt suddenly enlightened and enlightened. He said: "It turns out there is still a way to do such damage."
Zhang Yang collected the stones and said, "I just said it casually."
Li Tai pushed Zhang Yang and said: "You are too bad. Those monks who face the wooden fish Buddhist scriptures all day long are not crazy when they see the girls from Pingkangfang coming to offer incense every day and not wearing tight clothes.
It’s great.”
Zhang Yang looked at the sky at 45 degrees and said with a sad face: "I may cause retribution."
"Hahaha!"
Li Tai held his stomach and laughed, "Of course there is, you will definitely get retribution."
Zhang Yang put the stones on the cart and whispered: "How can a place of pure cultivation reflect the boundlessness of Buddhism without the temptation of the world of mortals?"
After saying that, Li Tai was about to leave. Before leaving, the little fat man said: "When we get all the things you want, we will make soap together. Your idea sounds like a bad idea, but it's not impossible to give it a try."
"Hahaha!" As he walked, Li Tai let out an enchanting laugh from time to time.
Not only is this little fat guy immoral, he also has a clearly low sense of humor.
I don’t want to be associated with this kind of person anymore.
