People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 10 Must Be Playing Stupid
Li Yifu smiled awkwardly, took a bite of the cucumber and said, "It's refreshing and delicious."

The cucumber had its skin on, and Li Yifu finished it in a few mouthfuls, and it took a long time for him to reminisce.

Li Zheng took the seeds of some crops and walked around the village with Li Yifu. Now that he has land, all these seeds can be planted.

When he came to a wasteland, Li Zheng said, "Here can also be reclaimed and used to grow things."

Looking at this wasteland, Li Yifu bowed and said, "Jingyang Ling, this piece of land is wasteland. How can you grow food on this piece of land that doesn't even grow grass."

Li Zheng was walking in this wasteland and observing it. It was relatively dry, and when he dug up a handful of soil, it was all clods.

"It can be used to grow corn, which is more hardy and easy to grow."

After Li Zheng finished speaking, Li Yifu moistened the brush with saliva, and set up a sign here and wrote the word corn.

After setting up a sign, Li Yifu asked curiously, "What is corn, is it also food?"

"A relatively drought-tolerant food." Li Zheng said.

Li Yifu knew that Li Zheng had cured the current queen's illness, which was a great achievement.

To be honest, it is not an exaggeration for Li Zheng to go to the Imperial Physician's Office as a medical officer for his merits.

It happens that these wastelands are needed, and I don't know what Li Zheng thinks.

Staying here with Li Zheng for the time being is better than being sent to a remote place to be a county magistrate.

I came to a wetland by the river again. The soil here is very wet, and there is silt under my feet.

Li Zheng said to Li Yifu: "At the mouth of the river, a ditch can be built to divert water into the water. This land is used to grow rice."

"Okay." Li Yifu just let it go, and set up a sign on each piece of land according to Li Zheng's arrangement.

"Tomatoes can be grown along the ridge."

"There are pumpkins."

"Peanuts are grown here."

……

"The rest of the wasteland is relatively dry, and the rest is used for growing potatoes and sweet potatoes."

After listening to Li Zheng's arrangement, Li Yifu thought about it for a long time and said: "Jingyang Order, there are more than 1000 mu of land around Jingyang, will all of them be reclaimed? We don't have enough manpower."

"Then find people. There should be a lot of refugees near Datang now."

Li Yifu nodded, "In recent years, there have been many disasters and disasters. Many refugees are near Chang'an. They live outside and go to Chang'an during the day to find work to support their families."

"Bring all those refugees who have no place to resettle to Jingyang, and you will file a case for them. If you have a family with children, you can settle down in Jingyang, and try to find someone with a family."

"Understood." Li Yifu nodded.

Those refugees left their hometowns with their families because of the disaster, and many of them came to Chang'an to make a living without a fixed place to live.

Give them a safe place to stay, and those refugees will surely flock to them, as many as they want.

Li Zheng saw a lot of coolies drinking the water by the river.

"Li Yifu."

Li Zheng called to stop Li Yifu, who was about to go to work.

Li Yifu came back and said, "What's wrong?"

Looking at the group of coolies, Li Zheng said to him: "Go ahead and try not to let them drink raw water, and usually give them more boiled water."

"This... what's the point of this?" Li Yifu was confused again.

"If you want to do it, you will do it. Where is there so much nonsense, if you can't do it well, I will ask Du Ruhui to send you back."

"Don't worry, Jing Yang, the lower official must be done well." Li Yifu said quickly.

If you are sent back, you will most likely be sent to a remote place to be the county magistrate.

We must seize this opportunity to stay in Jingyang, Li Yifu secretly made up his mind.

Li Yifu's work is quite reliable, and he has arranged thousands of coolies very well, and will not disturb the original residents of Jingyang.

After everything was arranged, Li Yifu went to recruit refugees first.

Li Zheng simmered the sweet potatoes in the bonfire, and while watching the coolies sprinkle rice seeds in the wetlands, he pondered in his heart that rice seedlings are very important, and it is the worst to grow them during the seedling period.

To this end, more than half of the rice seeds were left, and some were planted first for testing.

"What are you doing?"

Hearing a playful call, Li Zheng turned his head to see Li Lizhi, and hurriedly saluted, "Caomin has seen Her Royal Highness."

"You should call yourself a subordinate now, you're no longer a peasant." Li Lizhi squinted and smiled.

Glancing at the group of female guards behind Li Lizhi, Li Zheng said to her, "Is Your Highness the Princess going out of the palace privately again?"

"How do you know that I sneaked out, but you don't have to worry, the father and mother love me the most."

"How did you solve the Nine Chapters Number Technique?" Li Lizhi asked curiously.

"It's very simple, as long as you know the formula and operation method, you can solve it quickly."

Li Zheng pulled out two sweet potatoes from the charcoal fire, wrapped them hot in his sleeves, peeled off the charred skin, and took a bite.

"What is this?" Li Lizhi asked curiously.

"Sweet potato, do you want to eat it?" Li Zheng pulled out another one for her.

Li Lizhi took the sweet potato and followed Li Zheng's example, peeled off the charred skin and ate it in one bite.

"Yeah! It's very fragrant, very soft and glutinous." Li Lizhi had eaten sweet potatoes for the first time.

Now the sweet potato is still buried in the soil of the Americas. I remember that it was introduced to the Central Plains during the era of great voyages.

Like potatoes, it has high yields. Of course, growing potatoes and sweet potatoes alone cannot meet diversified needs.

If you eat too much, it will be enough to satisfy your hunger.

Seeing that Li Lizhi was enjoying the sweet potato, Li Zheng reached out to her and said, "Ten cents a piece."

"Ten... ten texts?" Li Lizhi stood up immediately, "Li Zheng, you still talk about money with me."

"Do you still have a relationship with Her Royal Highness? The princess also has to pay for food." Li Zheng still stretched out his hand.

"you!"

At this moment, Li Lizhi's heart completely collapsed at this moment that she had a little favor. Where did she get the money all over her body.

The female bodyguard hurried to report, "Princess, Prince Wei has come down."

"I..." Li Lizhi was in a dilemma and said to Li Zheng, "I'll give it to you next time, don't tell Qingque that I've been here."

Li Lizhi was about to leave in a hurry. The princess of the Tang Dynasty was too dangerous. Li Zheng remembered the father's filial piety, and the princess guessed that he rebelled.

Sure enough, it's better to keep a distance. Li Zheng can't stop nodding when he thinks of this. Looking at his reflection in the river, I really have too much foresight.

Li Lizhi accelerated her pace and left, holding half of the leftover sweet potato in her hand, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, "Humph!"

Li Tai came to Jingyang County again and found that many coolies were reclaiming wasteland, and it was the wasteland that his father gave him that could not grow food.

Maybe Li Zheng didn't know that these were wastelands that could not grow food, and what was the use of these wastelands, but Li Zheng was so diligent in getting people to reclaim it.

Maybe when Li Zheng finds out, he will blame me.

Li Tai felt a little guilty and a little sorry.

"Brother Li Zheng?" Li Tai greeted Li Zheng who was sitting by the river.
