People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 12 Treating Refugees
When Li Daxiong came home, he saw his son was cooking. The boy was much more sensible after he came back. He could cook and take care of the house.

Looking at his son, Li Daxiong sighed deeply.

Li Zheng put the fried food on the table and asked, "What's wrong?"

"You are promising." Li Daxiong sighed.

I wanted to ask my son why he recruited so many refugees and reclaimed wasteland.

But when he looked at his son, he thought of his mother again.

Now my son can heal, has read books, and is very promising as an official. Every mile and eight townships praise Li Zheng.

I have only farmed for my whole life.

He can do whatever he wants, it's not murder and arson, his son can do whatever he wants.

If you ask, you won't be offended by your son.

Li Daxiong is not so particular about eating.

A piece of cake and some pickles can be delicious, but looking at the things in front of me, I was stunned for a while.

"What are these pieces?"

"Potatoes." Li Zheng said while eating noodles.

Seeing his son pick up a potato and peel it before eating it, Li Daxiong also ate one like his son.

Surprisingly delicious, he looked at the other bowl and asked, "What is this?"

"It's a cucumber."

After a meal, Li Daxiong liked the taste of cucumbers very much, and he finished eating a piece of cake with cucumbers.

After eating, Li Daxiong sat and chatted with the villagers at the entrance of the village.

Li Zheng ate dinner and then taught the villagers to build roads. The cement is not good if it is too thin, and it is too thick and wasteful.

There are too many people in the village to manage the security. Li Zheng asked Li Yifu to temporarily set up a security team. On weekdays, he was afraid of conflicts between the villagers and the new settlers.

The story of Li Zheng recruiting refugees to reclaim the land has also spread in Chang'an.

Many people knew about this, and Wei Zheng also knew about it.

Wei Zheng was a counselor in the court and was named Duke of Zheng. Wei Zheng, an old man, was not well-known in the court.

The courtiers were impeached in front of Li Shimin all day long, and more people were offended.

But no one dared to offend Wei Zheng.

why?Because Wei Zheng dared to point at Li Shimin's nose in front of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty in the Taiji Palace and scold Li Shimin for being a fool.

Who would dare to do such a thing.

It can only be said that this old guy has a kind.

Some are dead.

Li Shimin had a headache.

The courtiers retreated as far as possible from him.

This time Wei Zheng came to Jingyang County and heard that the newly appointed Jingyang Ling had recruited many refugees.

These refugees are also citizens of the Tang Dynasty. If Li Zheng dares to recruit the refugees to do hard labor, he must be impeached to face the truth.

Looking at the situation here, Wei Zheng found a group of homeless people who had worked to sit and eat together.

Wei Zheng stepped forward and asked, "Are you refugees recruited by Jingyang Ling?"

Seeing that Wei Zheng was wearing an official uniform, several refugees hurriedly saluted.

Looking at their food, Wei Zheng asked, "Can you still eat meat?"

"And soup." Several refugees said with a smile.

Wei Zheng nodded and said: "Are you all working tomorrow? How long do you work in a day?"

"It's great here," said a refugee. "We can eat three meals a day, and we have a meal of meat for lunch every day."

Another refugee said, "Jingyangling is a good man, and he settled down for us."

"We work for four hours a day, and we reclaim some wasteland, and we can rest for two days a month."

A few refugees said with a smile: "There is still wages, Jingyangling is a good person."

Wei Zheng's expression improved a lot after hearing this. He asked a group of people in Jingyang. It seemed that Li Zheng did not recruit refugees to do hard labor.

Instead, they settled in their homes and gave them work and wages.

Seeing a little child mixing mud not far away, Wei Zheng stepped forward and asked, "You come to work at such a young age? Did Jing Yangling ask you to do it?"

Li Zheng stopped what he was doing and stared at the old man.

"What about you?" Wei Zheng said, "Jingyang ordered you children to work too."

Others don't know Wei Zheng, but Li Yifu knows.

Seeing Wei Zheng questioning Li Zheng, he hurriedly came, "Xiaguan has seen Zheng Guogong."

Li Yifu hurriedly bowed and introduced: "This is Jingyang Ling."

It turned out that Jingyang ordered himself to work, so it was no wonder that only this child was working.

Wei Zheng smiled and said, "You have recruited so many coolies, and you still have to work on your own?"

"They don't understand the use of cement, so I teach them." Li Zheng said.

Wei Zheng looked at Li Zheng and felt that this child had a bright future.

"You recruit so many coolies and still cultivate wasteland. If you can't grow food, what will you do with these refugees?" Wei Zheng asked again.

Li Zheng also simply said to Wei Zheng: "These people are no longer refugees, they are from Jingyang, and I have settled them down."

Handing the stick with which the cement was mixed in his hand to Li Yifu, Li Zheng explained to Wei Zheng again: "I have already placed them. These refugees have no fixed place and are worried all day long, afraid of being driven out by the government. Have you ever managed these people?"

Wei Zheng stared at Li Zheng's expression, and was a little speechless when asked by this kid.

Li Zheng washed away the mud in his hands and said, "You know what? The demands of these refugees are very simple. They just want to settle down, and they don't even want my salary. As long as they have a home, they will grit their teeth to support the family."

Wei Zheng's eyes flashed with loneliness.

It is not that the DPRK and China have not thought about resettling these refugees.

It takes too much money and food to resettle the refugees.

As Li Zheng said, the refugees don't want too much, they just want a home where they can live in peace.

Li Zheng gave them food and gave them a place to rest.

Paying them back wages is just too much suspicion.

At least he gave these refugees a home, and the DPRK and China shied away because of the food problem, because the land problem was unsustainable.

Li Zheng had a day's backache from cement, and he didn't want to pay attention to Wei Zheng any more, so he went to his small medical center to take a nap.

Li Yifu smiled at Wei Zheng and said, "Don't take offense to Duke Zheng."

"No wonder the old man, this child did a good thing."

Wei Zheng was in Jingyang County for a long time, and he returned to Chang'an to write a memorial, which was sent to the palace.

Just after taking a nap, Li Shimin woke up when he saw Wei Zheng's memorial, opened it for a long time and his face darkened again.

Putting the memorial aside, this Wei Zheng took the wrong medicine again and came to scold and criticize me for no reason.

I have clearly done nothing recently, so Wei Zheng is addicted to impeaching me, isn't it?

Li Shimin angrily threw the memorial aside.

After a day of free time, Wei Zheng's impeachment disturbed his good mood.

It's easy for me to be an emperor!

It's still about the treatment of refugees.

In retrospect, Li Shimin asked the little eunuch around him, "How are the refugees around Chang'an recently?"

The little eunuch bowed and said, "Go back to your majesty, all the refugees around Chang'an have been treated by Jingyang Ling."
