Chapter 131 An Old Scumbag

Some people live narrowly, some live openly.

Why bother to make it difficult for yourself and yourself, as long as the eldest grandson's family puts down a little bit, this hurdle will be over.

The sun shines on the land of Chang'an, and the morning in Jingyang is very quiet.

Occasionally, a few dogs barking can be heard.

According to Li Zheng's request, Li Yifu found someone to live in Jingyang.

There are not many people who come to move every day.

Li Yifu watched people go to the county government to register and commit crimes.

But there are only a few families every day, and how long it will take to wait for such a move.

Now His Majesty refuses, and the Marquis of Jingyang County refuses to enter the court as an official.

As the saying goes, gods fight and mortals suffer.

Li Zheng and His Majesty are in trouble.

Now His Majesty is having trouble with Li Zheng again.

Li Yifu felt that his heart was tired, and in the end he had to do this kind of hard work by himself.

Li Zheng and Li Tai were sitting in front of their house with a bowl of noodles eating breakfast.

Li Ke came with a person.

"Li Zheng, I brought you someone here."

Sucking on the noodles, Li Zheng turned his head and saw the person who came. Isn't this the person who came to see him with Li Chongyi back then?

Xu Jingzong took a step forward and saluted slightly and said, "Xu Jingzong has met the Marquis of Jingyang County."

Suck the noodles into the mouth in one breath.

Li Zheng chewed and swallowed and asked, "Are you Xu Jingzong?"

Xu Jingzong nodded, "The county lord knows me?"

Li Zheng put down the bowl in his hand and said, "You are the famous Xu Jingzong, how could I not know you?"

Xu Jingzong also looked puzzled, when did he become famous?

"You were born in the Xu family of Gaoyang County. You were quite talented when you were young. You were named Shu Zuo in Huaiyang during the Daye period of the former Sui Dynasty. After your father was killed by the rebel army, you defected to the Wagang Army and became a Li Mi's secretary is a recorder."

Hearing these words, Xu Jingzong looked at Li Zheng and became vigilant. Li Zheng is only a 12-year-old child, how could he know so many things about himself?
"Later, you were valued as the Eighteenth Bachelor of the Qin Palace. You didn't have much credit, so you weren't reused. Even if you didn't have a good reputation, you didn't end well."

Hearing Li Zheng talk about his reputation, Xu Jingzong quickly said: "Xianhou, I don't know you before, for the sake of ruining my reputation as soon as we meet, my reputation in the government and the public is still quite good, if you don't believe the county, go inquire about!"

For the sake of reputation, Xu Jingzong said it with righteous indignation.

Scholars in ancient times valued their reputation. If a person's reputation is damaged, his official career in this life will be hopeless.

For the sake of fame, he will even fight with others.

Speaking of his reputation, Xu Jingzong naturally wanted to defend it.

Li Zheng smiled awkwardly, "Sorry, I just said it casually."

Of course Xu Jingzong's reputation is good now, but his reputation in the future will not be very good.

Li Ke said: "This man came to me last night and said that he could help the county lord to make plans to deal with the Japanese people."

Li Zheng hurriedly pulled Li Ke aside and said, "Your Highness the King of Shu, how can you casually tell others about dealing with the Wa people?"

Li Ke glanced back at Xu Jingzong who was standing awkwardly and said, "I think this person was sincere when he came to me, so I told him."

"You don't even know what other people's intentions are, so you told him."

Li Zheng sighed, "What if he denounces us? We die before we get out!"

Li Ke nodded seriously, "It makes sense for you to say that, why don't I kill him to silence him?"

Xu Jingzong: "..."

Li Zheng came in front of Xu Jingzong and said, "You said you have a plan to deal with the Japanese?"

Xu Jingzong wiped the sweat from his brow and said: "Go back to the Marquis of Jingyang County, I really have a way to deal with the Japanese people."

"Do you know what I'm going to do with them?"

"Let them never return to Wa country."

Li Zheng nodded like a teachable child, "Then I will leave it to you."

Leave it to yourself?
Xu Jingzong looked puzzled: "Aren't the county lords afraid that I will report you?"

Li Zheng smiled and said, "You try it?"

Xu Jingzong bowed slightly, "I will try my best."

"Let's do it." After Li Zheng finished speaking, he saw a bag of things hanging on Xu Jingzong's waist, "What is this?"

Taking a look at the cloth bag on his waist, Xu Jingzong explained: "It's just some goji berries. I've eaten up the few catties of goji berries at home."

Goji berries?Li Zheng asked again: "Dare you have a wife?"

Although he didn't know why Li Zheng asked this, Xu Jingzong shook his head and said, "No."

Li Zheng nodded knowingly.

Puzzled, Xu Jingzong became even more puzzled and asked, "What does the county lord mean by nodding?"

"The family has no daughter-in-law, and the consumption of goji berries is so large, I think I must be an old scumbag."

Xu Jingzong bowed and asked: "Dare to ask the county lord, what kind of scumbag?"

Li Zheng quickly waved his hand and said: "It's nothing, you go to work, if this matter is done, I will reward you well."

"Rewards are not necessary, the lower officials just want to stay with the county lord and do things for the county lord."

Xu Jingzong is neither a good person nor a bad person.

There are many controversies about this person in history, and some people even say that he is a person who is very good at taking blame.

Li Zheng said again: "What if this matter can't be done, or has it been revealed?"

"It has absolutely nothing to do with the county lord, it's all what I want to do."

Nodding pertinently, Li Zheng nodded at these words, and sighed: "He is indeed a rare talent, so I will leave it to you."

Xu Jingzong turned around and left.

After he left, Li Tai asked Li Zheng in a low voice, "Do you believe such a stranger so easily?"

Xu Jingzong was one of the Eighteen Scholars of Prince Qin's Mansion back then, and now each of those Eighteen Scholars has their own prospects. Only Xu Jingzong has been ups and downs for so many years without any great achievements.

People like him most need to do something to prove their ability.

Li Zheng thought to himself, would someone like Xu Jingzong come to rely on him?
What about a careless person like me?

Xu Jingzong certainly didn't think so in his heart, nor did he want to follow him sincerely.

He just regards himself as a springboard, a springboard that can jump in front of Li Shimin, so that Li Shimin can see his ability.

Nowadays, there are too many talents around Li Shimin, Xu Jingzong can't compete with those people, Li Shimin may have forgotten him a long time ago.

People like him are just using me to show off his ability, and in the end he will still choose the imperial court.

Ignoring Li Tai, Li Zheng fiddled with the pulp in the vat and said, "Go and call the aunts in the village, I have some manual work for them to do."

Li Tai looked at Li Zheng suspiciously, and went to call for someone.

The ratio of pulp is made according to the pulp of the Song Dynasty. According to the papermaking technology, the paper in the Song Dynasty is very close to modern times.

 Sorry for being late, there are more tonight, and there are more
