People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 348 The Shepherd and the Woodcutter

Li Yifu said: "The magistrates of the county don't know. Blacksmiths used to have a good life during the war, and people needed people to make weapons everywhere. Now it is stable, and many blacksmiths have no jobs. It is even more difficult to find jobs. Chaozhong ironware is very strict."

In this way, Li Zheng understood.

When the world is at peace, Li Shimin naturally doesn't want to see weapons everywhere. If a thousand people each have a knife, that's an army of 1000.

Will Li Shimin be happy to see this?
This has also led to the unemployment of many private blacksmiths today.

These blacksmiths are a huge asset and cannot be wasted.

Let the three brothers of the Tie family have a place to settle down, and hand over the iron materials to them.

Only when Li Zheng met the family members of the three brothers of the Tie family did he know how bad their life was.

Because they had no house to live in, they lived in a blacksmith's shop, and because they had no work, they often endured the harshness of their master.

Both Tie Er and Tie San'er's daughters-in-law have big bellies, and their pudding and stained clothes speak of the hardships of their lives.

Li Shimin has always wanted to create a prosperous Zhenguan, but what he can't understand is the lives of people on street corners.

Let the aunts in the village take care of the pregnant women of the Tie family.

Tie Da almost cried when he saw that there were vegetables and meat in the food, as well as eggs and delicious millet rice.

They have hardly eaten such delicate meals since they were young.

Sun Simiao checked Tie's daughter-in-law's pulse and took two doses of miscarriage medicine.

The Tie family members have all entered Jingyang household registration, and the children born from then on are also from Jingyang.

After a few days, they got used to life in Jingyang County.

Life in Jingyang is relatively slow. Generally speaking, people in Jingyang County live leisurely and slowly.

Li Zheng also handed over the blueprint of the triangular thorn to the brothers of the Tie family, and the three-month period is coming soon, so he has to deal with Li Shimin.

Li Zheng wrote a memorial for Xu Jingzong to send to the court. Now there are many blacksmiths who are living outside. If you want to recruit blacksmiths on a large scale, you should report to Li Shimin.

In case the emperor, who has persecution paranoia, suspects that he is going to rebel, it's okay.

The memorial was sent into the court hall as if it fell into a deep pool and there was no response. Before Li Shimin could reply, two snacks, Li Lizhi and Li Zhi, arrived.

Li Lizhi knocked on the melon seeds and asked, "Why do you want a blacksmith?"

Sitting there, Li Zheng kowtowed sunflower seeds and said, "How do you know I want a blacksmith?"

"Do you think you can hide this princess?"

Li Zheng glanced at Li Lizhi, what kind of tutoring could make a princess feel elegant while eating melon seeds.

Li Lizhi is really particular about eating melon seeds, and she has to cover her mouth to eat melon seeds.

After the words passed through his mind, Li Zheng explained: "If I want to make better weapons for your father, I need a blacksmith."

Li Lizhi nodded, "Oh, you are so smart and still need a blacksmith?"

"Why don't you need it? There is a specialization in the art industry."

"That makes sense."

Li Lizhi went on to say: "By the way, the emperor has already agreed to let you accept young slaves as disciples."

The action of eating melon seeds stopped, and Li Zheng looked at Li Lizhi in surprise, "His Royal Highness Jin Wang will be my disciple?"

Li Lizhi nodded, "I don't know where you are blessed to be able to accept the prince as a disciple. This honor is not something ordinary people can get."

Li Zheng asked anxiously: "Then if I don't accept the King of Jin as a disciple, will I be against the decree?"

Li Lizhi took another sip of tea gracefully and said: "Father didn't make an order, so you don't count as resisting the order. If you don't accept father, at most you will think that you, Li Zheng, think highly of yourself and look down on father's son. Look down on the royal family."

With a bitter smile, Li Zheng rubbed his forehead in pain, "If I don't accept it, I will offend your father, I understand, who in this world dare not buy your father's account, I, Li Zheng, dare to look down on the royal family, it is to you Being disrespectful to the imperial father is disrespecting the royal family, and this implicates me in rebellious intentions."

Li Lizhi nodded, "You understand."

Li Zheng said helplessly: "It seems that if I don't accept it, I have to accept it. It really is a routine. There is no free lunch anywhere."

"Young slave is still young, don't let him learn to become a little money fan like you."

"I can teach His Royal Highness King Jin. I don't care what he learns."

After eating melon seeds, Li Lizhi stood up and said, "I'll leave it to you. I'll visit him often. If you don't dare to teach him well..."

Li Zheng hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I dare not."

"Hmph!" Li Lizhi turned her head and left.

Li Lizhi left, leaving Li Zhi behind.

The two stared at each other with wide eyes.

Li Zhi said excitedly, "Brother-in-law, what are we going to do next?"

Li Zheng said painfully: "I haven't married your sister yet, and I'm not your brother-in-law."

"Then should I call you teacher?"

"Your Highness King Jin can do whatever you want." Li Zheng said helplessly.

Li Zhi asked, "Will you teach me math?"

Li Zheng: "Yes."

Li Zhi asked again: "It is said that your science is amazing."

Li Zheng still nodded, "Yes, science is amazing."

Li Zhi asked again: "Then will you teach me science?"

Li Zheng still nodded, with a numb expression, "Yes."

Li Zhi excitedly grabbed Li Zheng's sleeve and said, "You are very rich."

Hearing the topic of money, Li Zheng immediately became vigilant, "His Royal Highness, I do have money, but it's all money I earned, not your family's money."

Li Zhi laughed, "I also want to get rich, you will teach me."

Li Zheng glanced at Li Zhi, who was still short, "His Royal Highness, your father is very rich, and your family is not short of money."

Speaking of this, Li Zhi feels aggrieved, "Father doesn't let me make money, and you don't let me make money either."

"You are a prince, and you have a fief. In a certain sense, His Royal Highness King Jin will never be short of money, because all the taxes in the world support the royal family." Li Zheng said to Li Zhi, "I am different from His Royal Highness Jin."

Li Zhi gasped in surprise and asked in a low voice, "What's the difference? Could it be that you're not human?"

"I……"

Li Zheng really wanted to give Li Zhi a shudder, why did the children of Li's family swear at others all the time.

Li Zheng cleared his throat and said, "Today I will teach His Royal Highness the first truth."

Li Zhi straightened his clothes and sat in front of Li Zheng.

Li Zheng said to him: "There is a story about a woodcutter and a sheep herder. One day the woodcutter passed by and saw the sheepherder chatting with him. The two chatted happily and possibly passionately. But after chatting all day, the shepherd’s sheep were full, but there was no firewood for chopping firewood, and the shepherd drove the full-fledged sheep back, but the woodcutter got nothing.”

After hearing this story, Li Zhi was still digesting it.
