People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 1181 Winter Solstice
"I……"

Li Zhi was speechless for a while.

Li Zheng said again: "His Royal Highness Prince Jin's own affairs should be resolved by himself. The matter of the boiler has nothing to do with me."

Li Zhi, who was stunned, wanted to say something more. Li Zheng had already entered the study and closed the door.

Holding the blueprint in his hand, Li Zhi returned to his room with a dejected expression.

Sitting in his room, Li Zhi looked at the books in front of him, feeling a very strange feeling in his heart all the time, no matter the research direction or the blueprint theory, according to Li Zheng, everything was going smoothly.

It seemed that Li Zheng had known for a long time that there would be such an outcome.

Even if there was a mistake in the middle, after repeated demonstrations, I found that it was just my mistake in the process of building the boiler.

But when he asked Li Zheng, Li Zheng always talked about it.

Li Zhi frowned and looked at the night outside the window, he felt drowsy for a while, and quickly put all these troubles behind him, and fell asleep on the bed.

Jingyang in winter is much quieter than before.

Li Zhi came to Jingyang county government early in the morning.

While sorting out the files, Shangguanyi said, "His Royal Highness, the village needs to organize and arrange greenhouses."

Li Zhi woke up early and said listlessly, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

Shangguanyi handed Li Zhi a hoe and said, "Go work in the field."

Since coming to Jingyang, Li Zhi has been busy working in the fields in recent years.

Li Zhi said: "You, a county magistrate, also farm the fields yourself?"

Shangguanyi smiled and said, "Whoever said that the county magistrate doesn't need to farm the land."

Li Zhi followed Shangguanyi to the field, and a large group of villagers were already busy working here.

The vegetable seedlings in the field have grown, and now it is only necessary to cover the greenhouse.

Shangguanyi also chatted and laughed with the villagers when she came here.

The aunt in the village smiled and wanted to introduce the girl to Shangguanyi.

Shangguanyi always kept pushing.

Li Zheng was sitting at home listening to Xu Jingzong's report.

After listening to Xu Jingzong's narration, Li Zheng frowned and said, "So the eldest grandson's family has a share in this matter?"

Xu Jingzong nodded and said: "A small young minister of Dali Temple will definitely not be able to find out too many things, but with the help of the eldest grandson's family, maybe they can really find out something with the power of the eldest grandson's family."

Li Zheng took a sip of tea and said, "The eldest grandson's family is really jumping up and down non-stop."

Xu Jingzong said in a low voice: "How many investigations have been made, how? Brother Zhu's people are still inquiring, and there should be news in a few days."

As the weather started to get colder, the horses in the stables also started to get tired.

All listless, Dui drove them out of the stables one by one and let them go for a run.

Today is the winter solstice, and Li Zheng is thinking about making mutton dumplings today.

Seeing that there was still some flour and mutton left, Li Zheng rolled up his sleeves and started to work.

Recalling the mutton dumplings in sour soup that he ate when he was a child, Li Zheng couldn't help swallowing.

Cheng Chumo came with a basket of mutton, "Is there any wine?"

Li Zheng pointed to the hut next to the stables, "There is wine in the room."

Cheng Chumo put the iron frame in place by himself, lit a fire and started roasting the mutton.

While roasting the mutton, Cheng Chumo took a sip of wine and said, "This winter is really cold."

Li Zheng said: "I heard that your wife gave birth to another son for you?"

Cheng Chumo grinned.

Li Tai and Li Chongyi also came early.

Li Chongyi looked at the busy Cheng Chumo and said, "Chumo is here too? Aren't the guards busy today?"

Cheng Chumo sprinkled chili powder on the mutton and said, "It's the Chinese New Year, everyone is going back to celebrate the festival."

Li Tai looked at the smiles on everyone's faces, and it felt good to get together in one place without having to greet each other during the festival.

Such warm feelings cannot be experienced in the cold palace.

Li Chongyi helped boil the hot water.

Li Tai took out some cakes and said: "The cakes from Jiangnan, brought from the palace, are very expensive."

Li Zheng chopped the meat skillfully, wrapped it with dumplings and put it in the pot.

Prepare some more garlic and you are ready to start.

Seeing Cheng Chumo kept sprinkling chili peppers on the mutton, Li Tai shook his head helplessly and said, "Recently I got angry, Doctor Sun told me that I can't eat so much spicy food."

Cheng Chumo said unceremoniously: "His Royal Highness Wei Wang wants to butcher the barbecue by himself, and a certain family will eat these."

Li Tai muttered in a low voice, "Monster!"

To everyone, Cheng Chumo is indeed a monster, especially for things like peppers, which have reached a point where they can't enjoy spicy food.

Most people can't stand Cheng Chumo eating spicy food like this.

Li Chongyi said: "I heard that your academy built a big furnace?"

Li Tai nodded and said: "There are still some problems with that big furnace. It is said that it still needs to be repaired. I don't know what it will be used for."

The dumplings were cooked and served on the table, and the four of them sat around the table. Except for Cheng Chumo's wild eating, some scenes were still very harmonious.

Li Tai ate mutton dumplings and said, "I heard Danielu and the others say that they will demolish the maze outside the village."

Li Chongyi asked curiously, "Why?"

Li Tai took a sip of the sour soup from the dumplings and said, "It was said to verify the theory. Now that the theory has been verified, they plan to dismantle it. It will be used in key places in the future."

Li Chongyi nodded clearly and said in a low voice: "If the construction of this maze is expanded, I think it will be very good to protect Jingyang."

Li Zheng was eating mutton dumplings, and felt that both of them looked at him curiously and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Li Chongyi said: "It's not bad to use such a clever maze to protect Jingyang."

Li Zheng smiled and said, "I think Jingyang is very safe now."

Cheng Chumo burped while eating the roast lamb after he finished eating the dumplings.

Li Tai cleared his throat and said: "Although the father may not send troops to attack Jingyang, the crown prince Li Chengqian and the eldest grandson Wuji are very close. Besides, you, Li Zheng, are still young. Who can say what will happen in the future? It is necessary to build a maze to protect Jingyang just in case."

After listening, Cheng Chumo nodded seriously and said, "We are building a tall city wall to enclose the whole of Jingyang."

Li Chongyi also nodded and said: "Brother Chu Mo's statement is also necessary."

After a meal, Li Chongyi and Cheng Chumo left together.

Li Tai sat aside and said, "Even Chongyi and Chu Mo can see it, can't you see it?"

Li Zheng sighed: "Why don't you go to ascend the throne and push Li Chengqian down. If you become His Majesty, then my Jingyang will be much less safe?"

Li Tai said with a melancholy face: "Managing an academy is already tiring enough, how about managing the whole world?"

After the winter solstice, a heavy snow fell in Guanzhong. As the New Year approached, more and more envoys from various countries came to Chang'an. Lu Dongzan, who came from Tubo, stood in front of the city and came here again with mixed feelings.
