Because the Zhang family kills a few pigs every day, the Zhang family stews big bone soup for the people working in the ditch every day. When stewing the soup, put some fat slices in it, and throw a handful of glutinous rice leaves when it is out of the pot.

There is no need for any seasoning. Everyone who works can eat a bowl of hot and fragrant soup with oil and flowers floating on the soup.

After working for a long time, I took a sip of this soup and it was so delicious.

Zhang Chao and Qin Qiong walked on the slope for a long time. When it was lunch, they were too lazy to go home, so they simply went down to the bottom of the ditch, made a bowl of soup, and received a few bean dregs. Although the bean dregs are coarse grains, the Zhang family was full and ate as much as they wanted, as long as you didn't take them home.

Qin Qiong was also a dignified Duke, a third-rank new governor, and a general of the Yulin Army, and was about to become a son-in-law. But he had no airs, and he was holding a big bowl of soup and squatting on the ground with Zhang Chao.

"The bean dregs and steamed buns are just in the broth, which is quite delicious." Qin Qiong had a good appetite and finished a steamed bun in just a few bites.

Zhang Chao put the soup bowl at his feet, then pinched the steamed buns into small pieces and threw them into the bowl, soaking the steamed buns. Unfortunately, there is no steamed bun. If you come with a bowl of mutton soup and another steamed bun, it will be truly delicious.

"In the past, the north and the north, the east and west, they could laugh at the mouth of a hot meal. Now the people who work here still have steamed bread and soup to drink. The days are really different." Qin Qiong sighed. He remembered his experience of conquering Liaodong in his early years, and later he followed Zhang Xutuo to fight against bandits everywhere in the Central Plains. However, the more bandits were suppressed, more and more were destroyed, and several more were set up.

At that time, the bandits and bandits were actually hungry people who couldn't eat. However, some officials reported these to Yang Guang, but he didn't believe it. Instead, he scolded the Sui Dynasty for not having so many anti-civilians.

"I followed Emperor Yang to the east to attack the city of Liaodong and bravely climbed to the top of the city, but Goguryeo cunningly said that he surrendered. Emperor Yang believed it and retreated his troops to persuade him to surrender. As a result, he missed a great opportunity. After that, I followed the Gong to the sea to cross the east and attacked Goguryeo from the sea. He once entered Pyongyang City, but he fought alone, but he was still defeated. I followed the army to the east twice, fighting both sea and land, but only left more than ten scars, and almost couldn't come back twice."

At that time, Qin Qiong was just a small military officer.

"Sanlang, do you know what I was thinking when I was retreating under Liaodong City, when I was defeated and fled at Pyongyang City, and when I looked back at the city?"

Zhang Chao thought for a while, "Maybe the world is peaceful."

"You guessed it right, then I was wondering, why did I come to this foreign country thousands of miles away, and fight to death with a group of people I don't know at all, or even people who can't understand each other's words? At that time, I thought, if I could return to my hometown and be an ordinary citizen in a peaceful and prosperous era, plant dozens of acres of land, marry a wife, have two or three children, and spend some time farming, read books, and go to the market, how good it would be."

"The Sui Dynasty has been in chaos for more than ten years, and it will eventually be peaceful today." Zhang Chao said with a smile. Although there are Gao Kaidao in the north, Liang Shidu in Shuofang, Yuan Junzhang in Daibei and other rebellious forces relying on the Turks to invade the border from time to time, the world will eventually be unified and peaceful.

"Yes, it's going to be peaceful, but I can't be that ordinary villager." Qin Qiong sighed. The eyes of his working villagers below were really a little envious.

After fighting for more than ten years, he left a scar and didn't know how many fights he had shed. His wife and children were gone in Luoyang City. Although he has now been granted the title of Duke, became a third-rank high-ranking official, and even took charge of the military and political power of one side, Qin Qiong was not happy.

"Don't your adoptive father like Princess Changguang?" Zhang Chao asked tentatively.

"It's not a question of whether I like it or not. I have only seen the princess. The princess is very beautiful and has a generous and decent manner. She should be a very good woman, but I don't know what to say."

"Don't have that kind of heartbeat? Or are you still missing Jia?"

Qin Qiong shook his head, he couldn't figure it out either.

He also followed Li Shimin for two years, and during this period he was deeply trusted and appreciated by Li Shimin. Now he is going to marry Princess Changguang and become a royal family in the future. Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng are both his brother-in-law. He did not want to see the battle between the King of Qin and the Crown Prince, but he also knew that this battle was inevitable.

Especially when he heard Zhang Chao say that the King of Qin would win the world in the end, this inevitably made him think of the Sui Dynasty. Yang Guang and the five brothers of Yang Yong were deposed, and Yang Guang seized the position of crown prince. Once he became emperor, Yang Liang rebelled again, and the King of Shu was imprisoned early, and the King of Qin was poisoned to death by his own princess.

The most ruthless imperial family, and in the end, I don’t know how the King of Qin would become emperor. The ninth year of Wude, now it is the end of Wude, and only four years has passed.

It would be better if it was a change of deposit. If it was a palace change with brothers and feet at that time, he couldn't help but think of the rumored Renshou Palace Change.

The men, women, young and old who work, sit or lie down after a full meal, enjoy a rare rest time. They are just the lowest-level people, but they have food to eat. When they are free in winter, they can still eat three full meals and earn some food every day, so they are very satisfied. They are simple but happy.

No matter how I sigh, life has to continue.

As dusk approached, Qin Qiong and others called Cheng Yaojin and Niu Jinda who woke up to go back to Chang'an together. Pei Xingjian and Laiheng Laiji stayed and began their study journey in the academy.

When Cheng Yaojinniu Jinda returned, he was a little listless. Both of them vomited a few times, and their faces were pale. Drinking white wine and vomiting until they vomited, it was definitely not pleasant.

Standing at the entrance of the village to see them off, Zhang Chao took three disciples back.

He knew that after today, Cheng Yaojin and Niu Jinda might not kiss him as much as before. He also knew that after today, no matter how Qin Qiong didn't like the marriage, he would still accept and finish the marriage. He also knew that despite the completion of the building, Qin Qiong would definitely stand on the side of the King of Qin.

It was not because he revealed the secret of heaven to him that Li Shimin would be emperor. It was because Qin Qiong was very loyal. He followed Li Shimin for two years and knew Li Shimin very well during this period. He admired Li Shimin, so he would not deviate from him unless he was a person like Wang Shichong.

Zhang Chao continued to take a vacation at home and be a history teacher.

During this period, Wei Zheng came here once and listened to Zhang Chao’s talk for three thousand years, which was very interesting.

"Sanlang is quite leisurely. The East Palace has been reluctant to take office. It turns out that he has started a history at home."

"I'm not history, it's just a popular history reading for the students in the academy. That's not history, it's just a short story of history." Zhang Chao was still a little cautious about Wei Zheng.

This Wei Zheng, who can tell death with his mouth, is worthy of being a Taoist priest once.

Wei Zheng was the most ruthless, but he had followed so many people, Yuan Baozang, Li Mi, Dou Jiande, and even Li Jiancheng, and few people really listened to his words. However, Li Shimin regarded Wei Zheng as a typical example and a different voice of an opposition critic, and truly made him successful.

"The prince admires you very much and always looks forward to you taking office soon."

Zhang Chao smiled and said that although he had made up his mind to go to the undercover East Palace, Zhang Chao would still delay it if he could. Now his life is pretty good, so there is no need to rush to the East Palace to suffer the consequences.

"Actually, Sanlang can write down your past three thousand years in detail, so that it will not only be for children to read, but also for more scholars." Wei Zheng was also very interested in history. The standard for a famous scholar is that he must at least be familiar with history. If he is not familiar with history, how can he be considered a famous scholar?

Wei Zheng was considered a famous scholar. Li Mi, Dou Jiande and the Tang Dynasty had been there, and his reputation was quite good.

There are generally two types of historical books that exist today. One is the chronological style, which uses the age as clues to arrange historical events, such as the Spring and Autumn Period, Zuo Zhuan and later Zizhi Tongjian. Another is the chronological style, which uses biography to record history. The emperor's name is called the chronological, and generally important figures are called the chronological style. Records of the Grand Historian opened the first of the chronological styles of historical books, Records of the Grand Historian, Book of the Han Dynasty, Book of the Later Han Dynasty, Book of the Three Kingdoms, Book of Jin, etc. are all of this type of historical books. Later generations also regarded this type of historical books as the official official history format. The Twenty-Four Historians are such historical books.

Zhang Chao's book is different for three thousand years, so Zhang Chao said that this is not history, but just a historical story. Because his book does not have detailed time and rich biography.

If you really listen to Wei Zheng's words and write the three thousand years of history books into a more suitable chronological style, it will become a book called Zizhi Tongjian.

However, Zizhi Tongjian has written a history of more than 1,300 years, with a total of more than 3 million words. It is a historical masterpiece compiled by Sima Guang and his entire team for 19 years.

Although there is actually an electronic version of Zizhi Tongjian in Zhang Chao's computer, and even a vernacular version. But he, a young man, suddenly made a book with hundreds of volumes and more than three million words. It started from King Weilie of Zhou in more than 400 BC. Even if he only wrote it to the fourth year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty, it was still 1,024 years, the history of more than a dozen dynasties.

He dares to take it out, but no one dares to believe it.

However, Zhang Chao was inspired by this and suddenly came up with a good idea.

Why don’t I agree to Wei Zheng on this, and then, on the grounds of writing the official version for three thousand years, and then openly avoid going to the East Palace to work and stay at home to compile a history?

Even if you can't stay at home every day, at least you can go to the East Palace less if you have such a reason.

I have to write the simple version for three thousand years first and give it to Wei Zheng and the prince to read. Then I will write the Tang Dynasty version of Zizhi Tongjian without having to write it out immediately, just write it slowly. Using this as an excuse, I can stay at home and not go to work in the East Palace. After a while, I can just take out a few chapters of manuscripts.

Zhang Chao praised his intelligence. Isn’t the East Palace soaking horses, but I just take charge of books? I want to compile a masterpiece of history now. Don’t they support it?
Chapter completed!
