Kong Ming is still very busy every day, but when he passed by a woodshed, he smelled some incense on the tip of his nose.

"Someone burning incense?"

Following the smell, he came to the front of the woodshed and looked inside through the crack in the door. He saw three children doing important things in their lives.

"I'm Guan Xing."

"I am Zhang Bao."

"I am Liu Adou."

"From today onwards, we will follow the example of our fathers and become sworn brothers. From now on..."

Seeing the three little kids worshiping in front of the incense table solemnly, Kong Ming watched the whole process with relish, and then quietly retreated.

Maybe... Kong Ming is thoughtful, if he is not busy, he and Yueying will have another child earlier?

Following the path he just took, passing through three security guards, Kong Ming knocked on the most tightly guarded room in the county house.

When you open the door, you can see that one side of the room is filled with models of all sizes, and the other is a normal handloom that has been dismantled into parts.

Huang Yueying was immersed in it and was not aware of Kong Ming's arrival at all.

Kong Ming smiled bitterly, but now it is the opposite of what happened in the history of the light screen. He, Zhuge Kongming, goes off duty on time every day, and he also eats after eating. He also takes time to play games with his adopted son Zhuge Qiao and daughter Zhuge Guo to bond with each other.

Instead, Mrs. Huang Yueying became obsessed with craftsmanship. If she didn't call her away every day, she would even stay up all night without realizing it.

"Madam, it's time for the sun to set."

Huang Yueying looked up blankly and saw the sunset through the window.

"We can't finish it today..." Huang Yueying looked regretful, but she still locked the door with Kong Ming and walked slowly home.

"Shiyuan won't be back next month."

Kong Ming's tone was relaxed, and he was overjoyed when he thought of the news his lord had sent back:

"He claimed that Jiangzhou was in an important position and would not come back alive or dead, so the Lord had no choice but to leave him to guard Jiangzhou with Huo Jun."

"It's not your Wuhou Temple that makes Shi Yuan troubled." Huang Yueying was a little annoyed.

"That's all. General Yide always joked with him about the name Wolong and Phoenix."

"My lord also calls me Feng Chu in private, but Shi Yuan is not very clever, so he will inevitably feel more anxious."

The two walked through a moon gate together. It was also the most prosperous time in Gong'an County. The craftsmen in the workshop were all on duty at this time, and the shopkeepers also knew that the craftsmen were rich, so they shouted harder.

The two of them walked through this main street together, and Huang Yueying felt a sense of satisfaction in her heart.

I really married a husband-in-law who is unparalleled in the world!

Huang Yueying looked over tenderly and saw her husband looking up at the sky thoughtfully:

"Madam, I was on the river bank yesterday watching General Guan train his navy, and the boats were riding the wind, and I was thinking about it at that time."

“Since a round car can use water power, can we also build a windmill to use wind power?”

Huang Yueying thought of a lot in an instant, but in the end it turned into admiration for Kong Ming:

"My husband is truly unparalleled."

But let’s put it behind us for now, after all, it’s already worth it, right?

When Kong Ming and Huang Yueying were in a tender relationship, Mi Zhu was at home looking at the Zuo Bo paper sent by the servant in a daze.

Mi Fang has been sent to Linju General Zhang's military camp for training, so Mi Zhu is actually quite comfortable at home at this time.

There is naturally nothing to say about Zuo Bo Paper, but this is Zuo Bo Paper produced in Jiangdong.

Of course Mi Zhu still remembered the strategy of the military advisor. At that time, in order to let Sun Hou and the seriously ill Zhou Gongjin relax their vigilance, the military advisor imitated Mi Fang's handwriting and wrote a secret letter to Jiangdong.

In order to increase his credibility, he also used Zuo Bo's scraps to lure him, and finally succeeded in making the lord take over Jiangling City.

At this time, looking at the Zuo Bo paper imitated by Jiang Dong in her hand, Mi Zhu fell into deep thought.

"How much does it cost?"

"Jiangdong Shao Mulberry Tree." The confidant behind Mi Zhu had obviously conducted a careful investigation:

"So the 'Sunhou Paper' made in Jiangdong needs to be purchased from mulberry bark. We asked the papermakers from the police to calculate it. The minimum cost of a roll in Jiangdong is 800 yuan."

Jiangdong Shao Mulberry Tree? Is this also in the military advisor's plan?

Mi Zhu's body was trembling a little, but her voice still gave orders in an orderly manner:

"Jingzhou Paper Mill will not expand for the time being and maintain its current scale. As long as the selling price of Zhuge Paper is the same as that of Jiangdong."

"When Jiangdong's papermaking industry is at its most prosperous..."

Mi Zhu's smile was a bit cruel, Jingzhou now had more than just Zuo Bozhi in his hand!

In Chang'an, since the light curtain appeared, Li Shimin basically stayed in the Manna Hall whenever he had something to do.

When Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling came over occasionally, they would always see the Sun of the Tang Dynasty, just stepping on the ground with bare feet and looking at the map of the Qin Dynasty and the Han Dynasty.

The map has been redrawn and made larger, and because the light curtain did not mark the territory at that time.

Therefore, Changsun Wuji very cleverly replaced the word Dahan with Tang Dynasty.

Hu merchants in Chang'an also suddenly discovered that the Tang people were suddenly more interested in the geography and customs of the countries in the Western Regions, and were even willing to pay to listen to their stories.

With such actions, the map hanging in front of Li Shimin gradually became more detailed.

Loulan, Yutian, Qiuci, Wusun, Shule, etc. are all marked on this map.

Orders were also issued from Chang'an, ordering various states to collect shipwrights and try to build sea-going ships.

Every time Du Ruhui sees everyone standing in front of this map and meditating, he feels that everyone can cast their eyes on this land through this map.

However, government affairs still need to be reported:

"Everyone, Lu Zushang still refuses to be appointed governor of Yingzhou."

"According to the law, hang him."

Li Shimin's voice was light and lacked warmth.

Lu Zushang's appointment as governor of Yingzhou had been delayed for a year, which had exhausted the patience of the Tang emperor.

Du Ruhui bowed and accepted the order.

"Everyone, we will worship heaven at Yuanqiu next month." Fang Xuanling reminded.

The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty became more interested and said to himself: "Can we worship the light curtain?"

So at the ceremony to worship the heaven, the officials saw that His Majesty the Emperor was unusually solemn.

But what disappoints Li Shimin is that there is no special change from fasting to offering food in this sacrifice to heaven.

There was no light curtain opening, nor was there any thank you for the gift as seen in the Manna Hall.

Then all the officials saw that His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty had curiosity and longing written all over his face when it came to the furnishings, sacrifice utensils, jade and silk offerings.

But by the time the food was served, impatience was already written on his face. After giving the food hastily, he returned to the palace, leaving the officials scratching their heads.

For this reason, Wei Zheng went to Du Ruhui to ask, but Du Ruhui remained tight-lipped and nothing came of it.

After offering sacrifices to heaven, you can basically forget about the New Year.

The officials and the emperor were getting busier and busier. The officials were calculating how long it would take for their Yuan Zheng ten-day holiday to come. Before then, they needed to finish all important official duties and not delay their vacation.

His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty took the time to be affectionate with his Guanyin maid.

Li Shimin did the math and felt that the tenth day of Yuan Zheng, which starts tomorrow, might be his busiest period of time.

Li Shimin was awakened by his chamberlain before dawn on the day of Yuan Zheng. Today's court meeting was destined to take a long time.

Hundreds of civil and military officials, local envoys, and rare treasures were presented, and the emperor's grace was greatly extended.

Congratulations are read out, auspicious reports are made, tributes are collected, and celestial phenomena are reported.

Afterwards, there was a large display, and various high-end ritual vessels that were rarely seen were put on display one by one to highlight the Tang Dynasty.

What just makes the ministers and envoys confused is that the last thing on this year's grand display is a book?

Because there are etiquette requirements for the large display, you cannot get too close to see it, but if you look at it from a distance, you can see what looks like a thread-bound book.

Military book? Classics? Farming methods? Or books that record the situation in various countries?

The officials and envoys had different guesses about this. Only Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui had twitching expressions, feeling that His Majesty was being too reckless.

After commenting on the two ministers like this, Li Shimin said of course at the small banquet in the Manlu Hall in the evening:

"Isn't this book a valuable asset to the country?"

The two ministers looked at each other, shook their heads and said:

"Immortal wisdom is all-encompassing, and occasionally a word can make me feel enlightened and enlightened."

"That will do." Li Shimin said proudly: "The auspiciousness offered by various countries and places today is not even one ten thousandth of the light curtain."

"Tomorrow." Li Shimin thought for a moment and said, "You two beloved ladies might as well invite Pharmacist Li to come with you."

"Medicine masters have always admired Zhuge Wuhou, and I will definitely be happy to see future generations comment on Qishan."

Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling obeyed the order.

………

Gong'an County, late April.

Liu Bei, who was traveling along the river, opened the door and saw that all the civil and military officials were already sitting in the side hall, waiting for him.

Liu Bei drank a large cup of tea without hesitation, and said:

"Ma Mengqi finally raised an army to rebel against Cao Cao. Ma Teng's death is approaching."

Zhang Fei couldn't bear to see his brother caring so much for Ma Chao, so he said:

"Why does the elder brother carry someone else's coffin to his own home to cry in mourning?"

"How can someone like Ma Chao be persuaded by a letter and a few words from my eldest brother?"

Two thousand seven hundred words, the difference of four hundred will be made up tomorrow. I lost my mind today.
