People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 13 Where to Stop by
"What is he going to do to treat these refugees?" Li Shimin asked in confusion.

Although refugees have no fixed place to live, the problem of gathering refugees together is different. Tens of thousands are an army.

The little eunuch replied in a low voice, "This matter is also very interesting. It is said that Li Zheng treats the wasteland as fertile land, and let those refugees go to reclaim the wasteland."

Wei Zheng also saw with his own eyes that what the memorial said was true.

Let this kid enter the court and quit his job as an official, but he cultivates wasteland and farms, but he is just a stupid kid, and Li Shimin feels relieved when he thinks of this.

For the current Tang Dynasty, food is a big problem.

How much land can be cultivated in Datang, and how much grain can Guanzhong have in a year.

Li Shimin knew how many people these grains could feed.

Grain is the foundation of the national fortune of the Tang Dynasty, and the stability of the Tang Dynasty will also become a big problem.

Coupled with the turmoil in the past few years, the world has finally calmed down, and there have been several droughts, floods, and locust plagues.

The population has not been rising.

The DPRK and China even advocated remarriage of widows.

Do your best to increase the population, do your best to increase food production.

With the population, there will be more soldiers to consolidate the frontier. With the grain, the Tang Dynasty can face more disasters and threats from the frontier.

Land, population, food.

Which one is not a headache for me now.

Li Zheng's starting point is good, at least he is reclaiming wasteland, even if it is a good thing to plant a few more acres of land.

Jingyang County.

It was a hot day here, and Li Lizhi came to Jingyang County again.

Li Lizhi came to the Jingyang River and found Li Zheng, "You were originally here."

Hearing the voice, Li Zheng looked back and said, "His Royal Highness the princess has secretly left the palace again? It seems that such things as leaving the palace are already familiar to the princess."

Familiar with the road?Li Lizhi heard this and said that Li Zheng was a fool, but no matter how he looked at him, he didn't look like a fool.

"I didn't sneak out of the palace, my mother went to Ganye Temple to pray for the father and the people, and I stopped by." Li Lizhi said with her chin raised.

"Oh, by the way?" Li Zheng said with a fishing rod: "Ganye Temple is north of Chang'an, and I am south of Chang'an. Where can I stop by?"

"..."

Li Lizhi took out ten cents of money to Li Zheng, "Give it to you!"

Seeing that Li Zheng took the money, this guy was still observing one by one, as if to confirm the authenticity, and after checking it, he carefully put it into his arms.

"Do you think I'll give you fake money? Is this princess so unbelievable in your heart?"

"It's essential to be defensive," Li Zheng looked at the fishing line leisurely, waiting for the fish to take the bait.

From here, you can see at a glance that a large area has been turned over, and many people are planting things.

Looking at this scene, Li Lizhi said, "Li Zheng, is your Jingyang county still a county?"

"Why not the county?"

Li Lizhi cleared her throat and said seriously: "I heard from my father that there are now a total of 360 million households in the Tang Dynasty, and each county has [-] to [-] households, and tens of thousands of households are counties. , it is no longer a county.”

Seeing Li Zheng being silent, Li Lizhi raised her chin as if showing off, as if looking forward to Li Zheng's praise, how come I even know this, am I amazing?
After a long silence, Li Zheng still did not speak.

Li Lizhi stomped her feet and said, "Have you ever listened to me again?"

Li held the fishing rod expressionlessly: "No."

Sure enough not...

Li Lizhi gritted his teeth, this guy dared to ignore this princess.

"Is there anything else the princess has to do?" Li Zheng asked sideways.

"Are you driving me away?" Li Lizhi blushed and was very angry.

"Your Highness Princess is free." Li Zheng didn't want to pay attention to the little girl Li Lizhi.

"Do you like food?" Li Li asked.

"I like it. Who doesn't like food? If you have food at home, you won't panic, but the food is not easy to come by." Li Zheng sighed: "The day of hoeing is noon, and sweat drips down the soil. Every grain is hard work, and this food is grown by the people with sweat.”

"The day of hoeing the weeds is noon, and the sweat drips down the soil. Who would have thought that every grain of Chinese food on the plate is hard work." Li Lizhi recited it several times.

"Good poem." Li Lizhi sat next to Li Zheng, "Anything else?"

"Why does Her Royal Highness think that there are such things as poetry." Li Zheng said.

"Is it gone?" Li Lizhi looked lonely.

Li Zheng said in a low voice, "The poem just now was sold to Her Royal Highness, the total amount of money."

"Can you still buy poetry?" Li Lizhi felt that her worldview seemed to be collapsing.

"Yes, as long as Her Royal Highness pays the money, this poem belongs to Her Royal Highness, and you should not read this poem before." Li Zheng said: "If Her Royal Highness can pay more, maybe it will be opened at the next door, and you can read a few more poems. ."

Li Lizhi proudly took out a piece of silver cake the size of a palm, "How much is it worth?"

"Uh..." Li Zheng looked at the piece of silver cake a little caught off guard, knowing that the princess would not be short of money, but he didn't expect that the girl would get such a big piece of silver cake when she made a move.

Quickly taking the silver cake into his arms, Li Zheng said, "Listen, Her Royal Highness."

"The grass grows on Lili Plain, withering every year. Wildfires can't be burnt out, but the spring breeze blows and regenerates."

Li Lizhi hurriedly asked the guards to bring pen and ink and record the poems.

"Chun Mian doesn't realize the dawn, I hear birds chirping everywhere, the wind and rain come at night, and I know how many flowers fall."

"Raise your head to look at the bright moon, bow your head to think of your hometown..."

"Weicheng is raining and dusty in the morning, and the guest house is green and willows look new..."

"You don't see..."

……

After more than ten poems came down in a row, Li Lizhi finished copying them all, looking at Li Zheng's eyes in addition to being shocked or shocked.

Li Zheng cleared his throat and said, "Your Highness, don't look at me like that, I'm sorry."

Li Lizhi looked at the poem in her hand and then at Li Zheng, then looked up at the sky.

"Anything else?" Li Lizhi asked, blinking her eyes.

Li Zheng also smiled and blinked, "Is there any more Princess Princess?"

"Well..." Li Lizhi hesitated for a while and said, "I brought these this time."

There are a dozen poems to earn such a large piece of silver pie.

Is this a business opportunity?Li Zheng thought to himself that maybe no one else would be fooled except Li Lizhi.

"I'll bring a little more next time." Li Lizhi grinned.

There is an inexplicable sense of guilt, fooling a little girl who is only ten years old will not be very good.

After Li Zheng thought about this, he picked up the marinated pheasant that had been prepared in advance, wrapped it in lotus leaf paste and put it in mud to prepare a beggar chicken.

When the beggar chicken was cooked in the charcoal fire, Li Zheng opened the seal and carefully tore open the lotus leaf.

Smelling the fragrance, Li Lizhi remembered that she hadn't had lunch yet.

Li Zheng pulled a chicken leg and ate it. Seeing Li Lizhi looking aside, he said, "Does your Royal Highness want to eat it?"

"I don't want to!" Li Lizhi turned her head and said.
