I opened a tavern in Datang/Datang: My peerless talent was exposed

Chapter 430 Li Chengqian's Change

How does it feel when time slips away from you by accident?

That's when I suddenly realized, what the hell, I don't even need to wear winter clothes!

People can feel the passage of time and change only when obvious changes happen to themselves.

It was only when Zhang Nuo realized that he could walk around in a single shirt that he realized that it had been a month since those idiots took office.

This month, Zhang Nuo has been extremely busy. All the things are crowded together. He can’t be busy. The crafts of the cement workshop have to be taught to those partners, and the craftsmen have to be sent to guide them. Each yamen has to find a place to work, and the new chief officer is not very familiar with his job.

Everything has to be collected by him in the end, and after his analysis and judgment, it will be handed over to the following people for execution.

Even Zhang Nuo's body, which is almost at the limit of human beings, now has faint dark circles around his eyes, not to mention Li Chengqian, who is still yawning when he wakes up in the morning and goes out with him.

At this time, Li Chengqian, how can he still have half of the demeanor of the prince in the past?

His eyes were dull, with heavy circles under his eyes, and his clothes and hair had been sorted out, but he followed Zhang Nuo like a sleepwalker, and mechanically stuffed the meat buns brought from Zhang Nuo's house into his mouth.

God knows how he got through this month, from the beginning of high ambition and high spirits, to the physical and mental exhaustion at this time, he really knows how tired the government affairs are.

As the assistant of the city lord appointed by the emperor, when working on weekdays, he can't even call uncle, only the city lord.

At the same time, when he was working, he first had to read all the matters reported by the various yamen and the matters in the workshop. He would directly write down the handling opinions for small matters, and he would let him deal with major matters or be undecided. Hand it over to Zhang Nuo.

And even if it is a small matter that he has already dealt with, he must report it to Zhang Nuo every day.

This is not an assistant's job, but this is his job as Zhang Nuo's student.

And Zhang Nuo is also worthy of the expectations of Li Shimin and his wife, and at the same time he is worthy of the uncle Li Chengqian called, even if he works late, he will pull Li Chengqian in between meals, and simply evaluate the pros and cons of his decisions. Where is it.

Only by breaking and crushing these things can Li Chengqian truly realize that every decision he makes is not groundless, but will really bring certain changes to the whole city, and it cannot be done indiscriminately.

At the same time, this is what Zhang Nuo kept telling him. Now it is just a Lantian city, and once he takes charge of the entire Tang Dynasty, one of his decisions will even affect the basic necessities of life of tens of millions of people, so why? Can't be too cautious.

Li Chengqian is also worthy of being the seed of Li Shimin and Empress Changsun. He originally thought that children of this age would not be able to accept these things at all, or that such work intensity even made him feel tired, so Li Chengqian could not stand it logically.

But I never thought that Li Chengqian really gritted his teeth and persisted.

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun have been here several times, saying that they come to have a meal, but in fact they just use the name of a meal to see their children.

As a parent, seeing Li Chengqian's haggard face, how could he not feel distressed?

But once they talked to him, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun could immediately notice Li Chengqian's improvement visible to the naked eye.

Whether it is about dealing with people or about specific affairs, although those opinions cannot be said to be old-fashioned, they can at least be meaningful and reasonable, and they are no longer the empty talk in the East Palace.

At the same time, Li Chengqian was originally an obedient child, but now that he has experienced the hard work, he has become more filial to his father and mother.

After all, in his opinion, he was so tired just helping his uncle manage a city, how tired would it be if his father managed the whole world and his mother had to worry about the entire harem?

His father, emperor and mother didn't say at all how many capable people he had under his command, but instead enjoyed the filial piety of his own children with a tacit understanding.

However, when Li Shimin and Empress Changsun gave Zhang Nuo a deep salute before leaving, it was the expression of their sincerity.

Whose parents are not looking forward to their children becoming a dragon?

This is true for ordinary families, let alone the number one family in the world?

But their previous education to Li Chengqian did not say it was a complete failure, but at least the effect was definitely not as good as Zhang Nuo is now, and because of this, their gratitude to Zhang Nuo simply broke through the sky.

Especially Li Shimin, for his successor, Li Shimin, a person who regards himself as an emperor through the ages, has high demands.

Before, he only knew how to ask, but he didn't know how to cultivate, let alone how to communicate.

Fortunately, Zhang Nuo appeared, no longer a collection of classics and histories, no longer sitting in a room chewing words, Zhang Nuo really brought Li Chengqian by his side, taught him by example, and used practical actions to make Li Chengqian understand what is right and what is wrong .

Analyzing, judging, and solving problems, Zhang Nuo subtly influenced Li Chengqian with the thinking mode of later generations.

At this time, Li Chengqian had already thrown away all the ideas he had learned before, such as not competing for profit with the people, and governing by doing nothing. If the old master came out to argue with him with these things now.

Li Chengqian estimated that he would directly throw a big ear, and then said seriously,

"I don't have time to talk nonsense to you. Whoever does the work without money, no matter who is responsible for the accident? Is it reasonable not to work if you give money?"

Zhang Nuo repeatedly emphasized a point of view with Li Chengqian, that is, it is true to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but it should not be paid in vain.

At the same time, governance by doing nothing is nonsense. What do farmers know about farming, workers know how to work, and businessmen know how to do business? They can get better without management.

Then this kind of person is going to the theater with the salary of the imperial court?

Can't we think of a way to make the grain in the farmers' fields more productive?

Can't you think of a way to increase the output of the workshop?

Can't we make business travel smoother and more products available?

These are all visible and tangible tasks, so why not do them?Why are you here?

Obviously, under Zhang Nuo's training, Li Chengqian felt more and more that it should be like this. The whole world belongs to his family, and the salaries of officials are also paid by his family. If you want to rule, isn't that lazy? This kind of person has to be killed, or at least demoted.

Chapter 431 Zhang Nuo's Education of Li Chengqian

Zhang Nuo's transformation of Li Chengqian didn't happen overnight, and at the same time, he didn't pretend to be profound to explain any major principles. He just integrated his ideas into his daily work, and then slowly explained them to Li Chengqian during meals.

As Zhang Nuo's assistant, after seeing those specific problems, combined with Zhang Nuo's solution, Li Chengqian slowly accepted Zhang Nuo's seemingly deviant but very useful ideas.

It is precisely because of this that even though Li Chengqian is as tired as a puppy every day, in fact, he never tires of the feeling of being able to see his progress and changes every day.

Zhang Nuo also taught him a good way, which is to keep a diary.

And it's not just one diary, but two, one is the daily work summary and experience, and the other is the daily mood diary.

Zhang Nuo told Li Chengqian that if you have ideas about your work summary and experience, you should write more, and if you have no ideas, you should write less, but you can’t stop every day. Even simple writing is better than no writing. Every day, you have to reflect on what you didn’t do well today. place.

The mood diary is for Li Chengqian to have a place to vent and complain, and Zhang Nuo promises not to read his mood diary. At the same time, he also advises Li Chengqian that he can write down any grievances and thoughts in the diary.

It's like having a conversation with yourself. If you have any sad or happy things that are inconvenient to tell other people, you can tell yourself in the diary, so that you have an extra friend who can talk about everything.

After all, Li Chengqian is a small and simple person. In his opinion, since his uncle requested it, he must do it, so even if he is too tired to get up every day, he still writes the diary before going to bed.

But as he was writing, Li Chengqian felt the benefits of the diary. Not to mention the work summary and experience that allowed him to sort out his daily gains and losses, the mood diary alone eased his depressed mood a lot.

After Li Chengqian found out that Zhang Nuo really only wanted his work diary and not his mood diary, Li Chengqian completely let himself go. He complained in his diary every day that he was so tired, that his father and mother didn’t come to see him, and that my uncle occasionally had free time. I also like to toss him, blah blah, a lot of things.

Only at this time can Li Chengqian's thoughts as a child of this age should be reflected!

Including the words that he saw a very beautiful little lady on the road one day, but unfortunately Zhang Nuo was by his side, he didn't have time to find out who it was, and he must go to look for it when he had time, all of which appeared in the diary.

It wasn't once or twice that Zhang Nuo and Li Shimin secretly read Li Chengqian's diary, but every time they read it, they could laugh out loud!

For Zhang Nuo's skills, stealing a diary after reading it and putting it back intact is really too simple for him.

And Li Shimin was even more shameless. He walked in directly on the grounds that this was his home, sat in the study and finished reading it before leaving. Maybe he even asked a maid to serve tea and water while reading.

When Zhang Nuo and Li Shimin saw it, it meant that Empress Changsun also saw it.So, it didn't take long for the diary voyeurism to change from Zhang Nuo alone to three people.

Li Shimin was also happy to see some of his son's little thoughts from the diary!

But several times, after reading it, Li Shimin would cover his eyes and sigh, because he found that Li Chengqian worked so hard and made progress, not for the throne, nor for being such a powerful emperor in the future.

For Li Chengqian, he just didn't want to disappoint his father and mother, it was because of the expectations of Li Shimin and his grandson Wugou that Li Chengqian gritted his teeth and persisted.

When Li Shimin saw this kind of content several times, he would secretly tell Empress Changsun after returning to the palace, and then the husband and wife went out of the city happily and distressed to see the child.

After all, it is the flesh that fell from oneself. On the one hand, they want their children to become talents, but on the other hand, they don't want their children to suffer. Parents in the world are nothing more than this.

Fortunately, Zhang Nuo is here. Although Zhang Nuo is not a master educator, at least he has heard those chicken soup texts in later generations. Of course, he knows that pampering is more poisonous to children than harshness.

Therefore, Zhang Nuo spoke righteously but categorically rejected the various praises and rewards Li Shimin and his wife gave to Li Chengqian on a whim.

Zhang Nuo made it very clear that it is good enough to praise the child once in a while, so that the child feels that his progress and being seen by his parents instead of turning a blind eye.

As for those conferring titles and fiefdoms, for Li Chengqian, it's not necessary at all!

In the future, the entire Tang Dynasty will be his, so what's the use of rewarding these things now?

As for gold, silver, supplements, etc., it is even more unnecessary. Could it be that Li Chengqian is short of food and clothing at Zhang Nuo's place?

Or Li Chengqian is so tired that he looks like a bird, does he still have the thought of going out to spend money?

Zhang Nuo beat them repeatedly, and finally persuaded Li Shimin and his wife to go back!

Zhang Nuo knew that this would not be the first time, let alone the last time, as long as Li Chengqian grew up slowly, Li Shimin and his wife would be happier and happier.

However, Li Shimin and his wife are happy, and Hongyu is not happy. She has been in the house for almost a year, and now she sees Zhang Nuo and the prince by her side every day, teaching by example and making the prince grow every day. My favorite meals on weekdays are no longer delicious.

Why is my stomach still not moving?

Husband is so capable, even the prince can teach well, then the children from the family must be even better in the future, so why can't you hurry up and add children to your husband?

The Zhang family is only a single seedling like the husband, and now there is only her as a wife. If she can't spread the branches and leaves for the Zhang family, then her sin will be serious.

In this era, spreading branches and leaves and family continuity are the top priorities, especially Zhang Nuo, who is sure to stand at the top of the entire Tang Dynasty in the future, so many people are staring at him.

If there is no heir, God knows how much trouble will be caused?

But Hongyu knew that many people's families had quietly connected with the queen's line, and wanted to send their daughters to Zhang Nuo.

After all, Hongyu is just Mrs. Ru, and the head of the Zhang family is still vacant.

It is said that a mother is more expensive than a child. This is not just a rule in the palace, it is the same in any big family. If Hongyu can give birth to the eldest son of the Zhang family first, then Hongyu will not have to worry about it in this life.

Anyway, there is Zhang Nuo in educating the child, she only needs to ensure the healthy growth of the child, but why is there no movement in the stomach?

Chapter 432 Zhang Nuo's Real Situation

The result of Hongyu's worry was that she ran to the palace when she had nothing to do!

She herself was born in Prince Qin's Mansion, and now she is Li Shimin's righteous sister registered in the genealogy, her real surname is the national surname.

What's more, since she grew up with Empress Changsun, her return to the palace is the same as returning to her mother's house.

In the past, Li Shimin and his wife did not reveal their identities in front of Zhang Nuo, but now their identities have been clarified anyway, and it is the time when they need help. How could Hongyu have so many scruples? She really regarded the palace as her natal home and came back to ask for help up.

As for the affairs of Zhang Nuo's family, as the official sister-in-law, Empress Changsun really took care of it as her own affairs.

The entanglement between the two families is not just a single star, whether it is from Li Shimin, Li Chengqian, Hongyu, from all aspects, now that Zhang Nuo has no elders alive, Hongyu, the little girl, is worrying about everything in this family. Sister-in-law will definitely help.

What's more, this is not a trivial matter. Zhang Nuo is the only seedling in the Zhang family now, so how can we not spread the branches and continue the incense?

It can be said that now the entire Zhang family is pointing at Hongyu.

Hongyu also knew this, so she went back to the palace to find Empress Changsun as soon as possible, and asked the imperial doctor to take a look at her body. If there was really something wrong with her body, then she had to see if she could take care of it. That kind of thing, I'm afraid Zhang Nuo will have to marry another one.

This is not a trivial matter in this era. It is not a joke to be unfilial. A woman who cannot continue the incense and give birth to children, even if she is the main wife, unless her natal family is very powerful and she is especially favored by her husband, otherwise Absolutely can't keep my seat.

It was precisely because of this that Empress Changsun was very considerate of Hongyu, and immediately called the old priest among the imperial doctors to ask Hongyu for pulse.

But the old priest made it very clear that Hongyu's body is very healthy and she is definitely a good child.

What he said was categorical, and Empress Changsun naturally couldn't believe it, but it was also true that Hongyu's stomach hadn't moved after Zhang Nuo's marriage for almost a year.

The problem is not with Hongyu, it can only be with Zhang Nuo.

Then Empress Changsun can't come forward, even if Empress Changsun secretly whispered to Hongyu a lot, inquired about a lot of interesting things in the boudoir, and found that Zhang Nuo is at least physically fine on the surface, and it can even be said that not only is there no problem, but it can also make Hongyu Yu was a little overwhelmed.

But the rest of the questions can only be communicated by Li Shimin!

After all, it's normal for men to talk about these things.Otherwise, even if Empress Changsun is a sister-in-law, it would be inconvenient to say something.

Li Shimin frowned immediately when he heard Empress Changsun talking about it!

The importance he attaches to Zhang Nuo, from the very beginning as a friend and confidant to his wife and children, is still entrusted to his wife and children. You must know that Li Chengqian can be regarded as his eldest son, or the prince who has been officially sealed, and now he has lost everything. I went to study with Zhang Nuo.

His father lived there every day, drinking wine and playing small cards. He even let go of the news because of Wei Zheng's report, letting those old officials know about him. After a few old officials who were not afraid of death came to visit, he found that he was all right. From now on, many old men in Lantian City will be his father's playmates.

It can also be seen from this that Zhang Nuo can take care of his father, educate his son, and help his daughter-in-law take care of her health. At the same time, she is also his confidant and sworn brother. With such a relationship, how could Li Shimin not worry about Zhang Nuo's affairs? ?

Li Shimin believed in Zhang Nuo's magnanimity, so he didn't have any taboos. He directly dragged the old priest in the palace, took the eldest grandson empress and Hongyu, and killed Zhang Nuo directly. The eyes let the old priest feel Zhang Nuo's pulse.

Zhang Nuo couldn't laugh or cry when he heard Li Shimin's reason for coming, but at the same time, he was very moved when he saw that nervous look. This is the expression that only people who really care about themselves will have.

But he still doesn't know about his own problems. He is not in poor health, but in good health, so good that he is a little different from ordinary people, so Hongyu is not pregnant for the time being.

But no matter what Zhang Nuo said, Li Shimin would have to wait for the priest to check his pulse.

Zhang Nuo was also speechless, so he had no choice but to follow him and stretch out his hand.

The old priest in the palace just put three fingers on Zhang Nuo's pulse gate for a while and said with a wry smile,

"Your Majesty, this Lord Xiao Zhang is indeed in very good health. As far as the pulse is concerned, the old man has seen countless pulses in the world, but he has never seen such a strong body. I am afraid that this Lord Zhang is in good health. people!"
