People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 1213 Overloaded Jingyang
Li Zhengxin thought that he had known Xu Hui for so long, and he had been sent to follow him since he was a child.

So familiar and shy.

Shaking his head and sighing for a while, Li Zheng took the clothes he was wearing into the room.

Standing on the roof of my house, watching the thunderstorm pour down.

Xu Hui changed into clean clothes again, "Chang'an ordered you to drink some hot tea and be careful not to catch a cold."

Li Zheng took the hot tea she brought and drank it one sip at a time. The rainy season has obviously passed, and this year's thunderstorm came quite early.

A burst of thunder flashed across the sky, followed by another rumbling sound.

The thunderstorm had come at least a month earlier, and this kind of thunderstorm should only happen in summer this year.

Not only did it come early, but it was also raining heavily.

Xu Hui brought the dry clothes: "Chang'an orders you to change your clothes."

Li Zheng took off his coat, put on dry clothes and said with a frown, "This year's thunderstorm came a bit early."

Xu Hui who was standing by the side heard Li Zheng's words, and said in a flustered expression: "Old farmers often say that thunderstorms come early, and this summer may be relatively dry."

Li Zheng frowned and said, "There is a lot of spring rain, and summer rain comes early, so we should pay more attention to the climate in the south."

Xu Hui asked in a low voice: "What does the Chang'an order mean?"

Li Zheng said: "If there is a lot of wind and rain in our south this year, then the other side of the East China Sea will not have a good life. It is estimated that they will also have heavy wind and heavy rain this year, which will affect the grain harvest."

Xu Hui wondered: "Just by looking at the weather in Guanzhong and the rain in the south, can you know what happened on the other side of the East China Sea?"

Li Zheng thought about it and said: "Generally, there should be no mistakes. If there is a lot of wind and rain in the southeast of the Central Plains, then our neighbors on the other side of the sea must have a hard time. The operation of the weather has a lot to do with it. In fact, our weather is a huge whole."

"I'd better go and see what vegetables and meat are available for cooking today."

Xu Hui couldn't understand what Li Zheng said again.

When she first came to Jingyang to take care of Li Zheng, Xu Hui heard Li Zheng say something that others could not understand from time to time.

But after you have experienced some things, you will often find that this is really the case.

It's like Li Zheng not letting the people in the village and raw water.

Few people in the village now suffer from stomach pains.

After forming a habit, naturally no one drinks unboiled water.

And after having tea, people are more willing to drink tea with boiling water.

Li Lizhi handed over a bill, "Look at it."

Li Zheng took the bill and looked at the content on it. This is the account book of the printing workshop.

Li Lizhi said: "Since the use of the boiler, the efficiency of the printing workshop has been at least twice as fast, more paper has been produced, and the printing speed has also increased."

Li Zheng looked at the account and nodded.

Li Lizhi said again: "This boiler is for coal mines, and our cost is more. I calculated carefully, even if it is an extra cost, compared with the increased efficiency, our benefits are greater. Previously What can be done in two days can be done in one day.”

Li Zheng looked back and saw that various costs were recorded on it.

Li Lizhi said in a low voice: "Father must have known about this, and Father must want to lower the price of paper."

Li Zheng was thinking, "Our Majesty wishes for free paper, so that books can be spread throughout the entire Central Plains, so that there will be more scholars."

Li Lizhi said: "Because the cost of the printing house was very low in the past, but now we have an additional cost. The price of paper cannot be too low. Although the queen mother also controls the printing house, if the price of paper is too low, we cannot Doing business at a loss.”

After speaking, Li Lizhi thought for a while and said: "I will write to the queen mother in advance. I must first greet my father about this matter. If my father wants to lose money in business, then the cost of the printing workshop will also be borne by the court."

Li Zheng said with a smile: "Presumably, Father Ni would not be too happy if he knew that his daughter wanted to negotiate costs with him."

Li Lizhi said: "We can't have to bear all the costs."

Take a sip of hot tea to dispel the chill after the rain.

The thunderstorm continued until the evening.

Li Lizhi's letter was quickly sent from Jingyang to Chang'an City and to the imperial palace.

Li Shimin looked at the letter from Li Lizhi, and then at the expression of Empress Changsun.

Empress Changsun said in a low voice: "Lizhi has been smart since she was a child, and now she wants to discuss the cost with His Majesty, a concubine who is a mother can also think of it."

Li Shimin put down the letter in his hand, "The efficiency of that boiler can be doubled without construction and renovation in the printing workshop."

Empress Changsun said, "It's indeed a bit magical."

"It's just twice the efficiency. If Li Zheng is willing to build a few more printing workshops like this, how many times will the paper produced in a day be?"

"Perhaps both Li Zheng and Lizhi have their own considerations."

Li Shimin sighed deeply.

Empress Changsun came to Li Shimin's side and said: "After all, Lizhi controls such a big scene in Jingyang, she may also be embarrassed."

Li Shimin said: "Look at what she wrote? She said that if I want to lower the price of paper, I will let the court bear the cost."

Empress Changsun said: "Is this what Li Zhi means? The concubine thinks that if His Majesty is free, he should talk to Li Zheng."

The cold wind blowing into the Ganlu Palace after the rain made Li Shimin sober up a lot. He said in a low voice, "Let's just wait and see what happens. I want to see how long he will endure such a heavy burden in Jingyang."

The next day, at dawn, Jingyang started working early.

In order not to affect the cultivation in spring, the workshop also assigned some people to work in the fields.

Li Lizhi came out of Li Zheng's study, while arranging her hair.

Now the servants in the family are used to Li Lizhi coming out of the study overnight.

Xu Hui brought hot water to wash Li Lizhi.

Li Lizhi woke up very early, before it was fully dawn, she whispered, "Are the young slaves and little Sizi still asleep?"

Xu Hui nodded and said, "I haven't woken up yet."

After a while, Li Zheng also came out of the study while arranging his clothes, "I'll go to Li Yi's mansion."

Xu Hui quickly handed Li Zheng a few steamed buns, "Chang'an orders some breakfast."

After receiving the steamed buns, Li Zheng hurried out to see what was going on with Li Yifu.

Li Lizhi got up early and began to check yesterday's account book.

While looking at the ledger, Li Lizhi said to Xu Hui, "How is the matter with Wang Qiaoer?"

Xu Hui said in a low voice; "Already making arrangements, many wealthy businessmen in Chang'an City are willing to cooperate with Jingyang."

Just as she was talking, Wu Mei also came early.

Li Lizhi said to Wu Mei: "How much money do you still need?"

Wu Mei opened her account book and said, "Yesterday, I just spent [-] guan, and now I still have [-] guan, which can be used for a while."

In today's Jingyang, whether it is acquisition, engineering, or college enrollment, land expansion is progressing at several ends, and the entire Jingyang is in a state of overload.
