Xuanzang said with some vigilance: "If Lord Hou wants this little monk to inquire about your invasion of other countries, I'm sorry that little monk can't agree."
He thought that Lin Xuan knew about those countries and wanted to invade them, so he was a little reluctant.
If the flames of war were caused because of him, then his crime would be great.
Lin Xuan smiled and said: "Master misunderstood, there are so many countries around the Tang Dynasty. Even if the Tang Dynasty wants to expand its territory, it will not go to the Western Regions."
Not to mention that he didn't have that plan, even if Li Shimin had this idea, he would try to dissuade it.
The distance is far away, and there is no way to manage it, so it doesn't make much sense to beat it down.
Moreover, whether the Laoshi expedition can be defeated is another matter.
Xuanzang said suspiciously, "Your Majesty's words are serious?"
"Master, don't worry, those countries are so far away from the Tang Dynasty, and there are some natural barriers in between. Does the master think there is any point in attacking them?" Lin Xuan explained.
Xuanzang nodded. Although he didn't know much about politics, he felt that what Lin Xuan said made sense.
"Then why did Lord Hou make this request?" Xuanzang asked.
"Master should know that many of Datang's current vegetables, including some fruits, are passed from the Western Regions. There must be some in the Western Regions, which are not available in Datang. If you can get some, it will benefit Greatness. I am satisfied with the seeds of Tang people. I have no other intentions." Lin Xuan said.
Xuanzang took a serious look at Lin Xuan, and found that he did not seem to be lying, and praised: "Your Majesty cares about the common people, and I admire you."
"The master is willing to travel thousands of miles west to seek the scriptures. His perseverance is admirable!" Lin Xuan laughed.
"Young Master can agree to what Hou Ye said, but when will the map be ready?" Xuanzang asked.
Lin Xuan said meaningfully: "When His Majesty agrees to the master to go, the map will naturally be drawn."
He is not stupid, what if Li Shimin disagrees and Xuanzang sneaks away with a map, what if Li Shimin troubles him.
"Then thank you, Lord Hou." Baosheng bowed to Shi with both hands.
He naturally heard the meaning of Lin Xuan's words. If Li Shimin disagreed, Lin Xuan would not be able to give them the map.
However, many temples have jointly signed the memorial, and he believes that it will be successful.
……
"What! You said the house has been built?" Lin Xuan asked in surprise.
Xu Guangfu said: "Master Hou, although it's not finished yet, it's almost done. I want Master Hou to take a look and see if there is anything dissatisfied, so that I can correct it in time."
"Go, take me to have a look." Lin Xuan said.
He couldn't wait to see what the house would look like after it was repaired.
Jiangnan gardens are mostly good at waterscape in terms of layout elements, and water and rocks complement each other to form the main landscape of the garden.The gardens in the south of the Yangtze River are rich in strange stones with exquisite postures.In the Ming and Qing dynasties, stacked stone houses often appeared in the south of the Yangtze River, so the gardens in the south of the Yangtze River are also famous for stacked stones.
According to Lin Xuan's requirements, the new house collected a large number of strange stones and placed them all over the house.
The climate and soil in the south of the Yangtze River are suitable for the growth of all kinds of flowers and trees.Gardens in the south of the Yangtze River can be regarded as a collection of plants, and there are many rare flowers and rare trees in the gardens.According to the tradition of Chinese gardens, Jiangnan gardens take nature as a chapter, but it is not haphazard.The principles include: plant tall trees to shade from the scorching sun, supplemented by the color and fragrance of flowers, fruits, and leaves, and bamboo is often seen in the garden.
However, the new house has just been built, and the flowers and trees have not been transplanted, which seems to be a fly in the ointment.
However, in the northern climate, many flowers are not suitable for planting.
Li Lizhi's gas disease is much milder than Empress Changsun's, and she is not allergic to pollen.
But Lin Xuan didn't plan to plant too many flowers. This house is destined not to have the scene of a hundred flowers blooming in Jiangnan gardens.
Gardens in the south of the Yangtze River are generally poetic and elegant, so they are mostly elegant.The architectural layout is simple, the structural layout is regular, and the architectural style is mainly fresh and free.Later, this elegant and literati-style building was also the main architectural style of government offices, temples, academies and other courtyards, and even the architectural style of royal gardens also adopted this architectural style.
This is also what Lin Xuan likes the most, he doesn't like those houses that look very luxurious.
"Yes, you did a good job!" Lin Xuan praised.
Xu Guangfu said with a smile: "This is what the little ones should do."
In order to supervise the construction of the house, he didn't go home a few times during this period, but he felt that everything was worth it if he could get Lin Xuan's praise.
Lin Xuan went to look inside the house again. He is currently finishing the interior work, and there is no furniture yet, so it looks very empty.
"I checked it once, and there is no problem. How long will it take to fix the rest?" Lin Xuan asked.
Xu Guangfu thought for a while and said, "It will take half a month at most before returning to Lord Hou, and all the work can be completed."
Lin Xuan nodded, and said, "I've worked hard on you during this time, after you finish working here, you can rest for a few days, and I have other things for you."
"If you have anything to do, you can just order it. The little ones won't be tired." Xu Guangfu said.
Lin Xuan said with a smile: "You should rest even if you are tired, and spend more time with your wife and children when you go home, otherwise they should have something against me."
"Thank you, Lord Hou!" Xu Guangfu said gratefully.
He felt that following Lin Xuan was the most correct choice he made.
……
Lin Xuan returned to Chang'an, thought for a while, and came to the paper mill.
He Xinmin heard the report and hurried out to welcome him.
"Small see Lord Hou!"
"Why are you here? There won't be any problems with Moxuanzhai, right?" Lin Xuan asked in surprise.
He Xinmin said: "Master Hou, Moxuanzhai is already on the right track, and it's okay if the little one isn't here. The little one is busy expanding production capacity."
"How are you doing?" Lin Xuan asked.
He Xinmin said: "Back to Lord Hou, half of the work is done, and the rest can be done in a few days."
"When it's done, leave a part and start researching new paper," Lin Xuan said.
He Xinmin asked, "I don't know what the Hou Ye wants for the new paper?"
"Try to make some thin and soft paper." Lin Xuan said.
He Xinmin looked puzzled, and said, "Master Hou, the paper is too thin to write on, and this kind of paper can't be sold at all."
"This is not just for writing, you just ask someone to do what I say." Lin Xuan said.
"Yes!" Although He Xinmin still didn't understand, he didn't continue to ask.
……
When Wang Qingyun came to Wang Ze's study, he didn't bother to knock on the door, and rushed in, shouting, "Father, it's not good!"
Wang Ze put down the pen in his hand, and scolded: "How did the old man teach you? If you want to be overwhelmed by Mount Tai without changing your face, look at you, you have forgotten all the old man's teachings."
"Father, stop scolding me, something serious has happened." Wang Qingyun said anxiously.
Wang Ze asked lightly: "Tell me, what happened that made you so anxious."
"Father, Lin Xuan asked people to expand the paper mill. It is now several times larger than before, and it is still expanding!" Wang Qingyun said.
"What!" Wang Ze stood up in shock, completely gone from the calmness just now.
According to his previous guess, Lin Xuan made paper just to disgust the Wang family and didn't care.
But now that Lin Xuan has actually expanded production capacity, it's not as simple as disgusting.
This is completely to cut off the most profitable business of the Wang family.
"Is this news confirmed?" Wang Ze asked.
Wang Qingyun nodded and said, "It's true, they have no intention of hiding anything."
Wang Ze had a gloomy face, thinking about how to deal with it.
A fierce light flashed in Wang Qingyun's eyes, he made a gesture and said, "Father, do we want to..."
"You are crazy, this is Chang'an, if you kill Lin Xuan, do you think our father and son can survive?" Wang Ze scolded.
They sent someone to kill Lin Xuan. The Wang family may not be in trouble, but their father and son will definitely not survive.
He hasn't had the idea of getting along with his own family for the sake of the family.
"Father, what should we do now?" Wang Qingyun asked.
"Report this matter to the family and let the family find a way to deal with it," Wang Ze said.
"But after this, his paper has already been made." Wang Qingyun said.
Wang Ze thought about it, but there was no good solution, and said: "Now I can only find a way to hold him back, so that he has no time to think about papermaking."
