People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 1147 Going to the East China Sea

Cheng Chu laughed three times silently and said, "Do you really think that I, Cheng, are stupid?"

After speaking, Cheng Chumo drank the wine in the flagon in one gulp and left in a dispirited manner.

Li Chongyi said in a low voice: "Recently, my father has been busy with the affairs of Wa Kingdom and Goguryeo, and I heard that the Ministry of Rites is about to expand."

Li Zheng ate a piece of pork head and said, "Brother Chongyi, this pork head tastes pretty good."

Li Chongyi shook his head helplessly, "Every time you talk about government affairs, you will always talk about him."

The afternoon is also the time for the Jingyang guards to rest. Due to the hot weather, the guards do not train in the noon and afternoon.

The guards did not return to normal training time until the weather became cooler.

Li Zheng took a sip of tea and said, "I don't know anything about government affairs."

Li Chongyi shook his head helplessly, "You, Li Zheng, are really the same."

Looking at the appetizers on the table, Li Zheng said to the cook beside him, "Wrap these up and take them home to eat, don't waste them."

The cook nodded with a smile, and took out the food box to pack the appetizers.

Although Li Zheng is now the Duke of the county with a wealth of wealth, he is still as frugal as ever.

Look at Li Zheng's clothes again. He is wearing a short jacket and straw sandals.

If he hadn't known him, walking outside in clothes like Li Zheng's would make him look like an ordinary countryman at a glance.

Li Chongyi said: "If you look at you, you can't dress decently."

Li Zheng looked at his clothes and said, "Why is it unseemly, isn't it cool?"

Shaking his head helplessly, Li Chongyi said, "At least he looks like a county magistrate."

Li Zheng said: "Country people are used to vulgarity."

Following Li Zheng out of the camp of the Jingyang Guards, Li Chongyi looked at his back, and sometimes envied Li Zheng for living like this, not caring about other people's eyes.

Following up, Li Chongyi said: "Now my father is going to preside over the expansion of the Ministry of Rites. In fact, my father really wants to hear your opinion."

Li Zheng walked slowly and said, "The Ministry of Rites wants to expand a diplomacy?"

diplomatic?Li Chongyi thought about it and said, "Are you talking about foreign affairs?"

Li Zheng nodded slightly.

Li Chongyi said again: "Ministry of Foreign Affairs? That's a good way to say it."

Cheng Chumo returned home with his wife and children.

The Cheng family's family style is said to be tough and tough, but they are not so particular.

In the past, Cheng Yaojin was born as a green forest hero, and he was different from other dignitaries.

Cheng Chumo told Cheng Yaojin what Li Zheng said.

Cheng Yaojin, who was drinking, frowned and looked at Cheng Chumo, "Li Zheng asked the old man to discuss business with him?"

Cheng Chumo nodded and said, "That's right. He said that we can share the money with the introduction of business."

Cheng Yaojin thought in his heart and muttered in a low voice: "Introduce him to business and you can get a share of the money. Didn't he say about letting the old man join his engineering team?"

Cheng Chumo shook his head and said, "I didn't mention it."

Cheng Yaojin thought about it and said: "It seems that Li Zheng attaches great importance to his engineering team and seems unwilling to let others intervene."

After thinking for a long time, Cheng Yaojin said: "We still have a house outside the Great Wall, let Li Zheng's engineering team build it."

Cheng Chumo said, "Aren't you going to introduce business to Li Zheng?"

Cheng Yaojin said: "Of course I won't introduce business to him yet, we still need to see how their craftsmanship is. It's not so easy for me, Cheng Yaojin, to introduce business."

Cheng Chumo nodded vigorously and said, "That's true."

Cheng Yaojin went on to say: "Tell Li Zheng that I won't pay the money for building the house this time."

Early the next morning, Cheng Chumo came to the stables early.

Li Zheng dragged a cart of fodder and said, "You said that your old guy doesn't pay, and you want me to repair his house."

Cheng Chumo ate the chili bibimbap and said: "Of course, I said I want to see your craftsmanship, and my veteran also said that this time our Cheng family will not pay."

Cheng Yaojin is really hard to deal with.

Li Zheng said: "Okay, I'll take this job!"

After eating, Cheng Chumo put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand and said, "Then I'll go to the guards to work too."

After finishing his business in the stables, Li Zheng also returned home.

According to the memory of later generations, Li Zheng thought of modern villa architecture.

Spreading out a drawing, Li Zheng began to sketch the drawing.

It is not difficult to draw architectural drawings, and it is not easy to say simple.

After working for a long time, Li Zhengcai finished the design drawing.

After handing over the blueprint to Li Yifu, Li Yifu looked at the house on the blueprint curiously and said, "What kind of house is this Chang'an Ling?"

Li Zheng said, "This is a big villa."

Li Yifu thought about it and said, "It looks so strange."

Li Zheng looked at it and said: "Just build Cheng Yaojin a villa like this."

Li Yifu gasped as he looked at the house on the blueprint, "This is the first time I've seen such a weird house."

Building roads, planting trees, rebuilding ditches, and now there is one more building.

Right now, the manpower of the engineering team is overwhelmed.

The engineering team has only more than 100 people.

Instead, some civilian husbands can be recruited to do things.

But such a score is really not worth it.

Planting trees is easy, as long as you follow the plan.

It is enough to leave four or five overseers.

The few extra people in the tree planting project went to repair the house.

It seems that the engineering team still needs to expand.

Li Yifu wrote a letter asking Yan Liben to recruit more people, and asked people to send the letter to Yan Liben who was building a road in Luoshui River.

Maybe Yan Liben is too busy now.

It is not easy to build a road from Luoyang to Chang'an.

Not to mention that there are all kinds of troublesome things to be solved.

In autumn, Jingyang is much more relaxed than before, and the grain in the fields has been harvested, and now they are waiting for the winter.

Li Zheng saw Yan Lide again.

Yan Lide bowed and said, "Chang'an Order, I have already prepared it."

Sitting in front of his house, Li Zheng waved his fan and said, "To build a shipyard in the East China Sea, you need to leave your hometown for many years. You really want to."

Yan Lide nodded and said: "If you stay in Chang'an, this is the only achievement I can achieve. If there is a better opportunity in the East China Sea, I don't want to miss it."

Li Zheng said to Yan Lide: "Go home and prepare, and have an explanation with your family. After preparation, bring your family and luggage to Jingyang, and depart from Jingyang to Donghai."

Yan Lide said, "Understood."

Li Zheng stood up and patted Yan Lide on the shoulder, "You are older than me, so logically I should call you big brother."

Yan Lide took two steps back and said, "I can't afford it."

Li Zheng said: "There is nothing to be ashamed of. After arriving in the East China Sea, everything has to start from scratch. You have to choose the site yourself, and you have to recruit your own staff. I can arrange a few staff for you, but you have to do everything yourself." .”

There was a pause at this point, and Li Zheng added: "If it doesn't work, you can come back, and I can also reserve a place for you in Jingyang Academy."
