People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 390 The Question of Salary
"We must bear in mind Chang'an Order's instructions, and no one will disturb Chang'an Order."

Sweeping away the previous silence, a group of office servants immediately agreed with a smile on their faces, which was quite different from the silent atmosphere just now.

Li Zheng sighed, "It's really realistic."

Li Zheng took out bags of money from his home, and distributed them one hundred guan each. He wanted them to help him cover up, and it would be much easier with the hush money. It is so true, Li I feel emotional again in my heart.

Working in Chang'an of Jingzhao Mansion is a fat job. Although he is only a small Shaoyin, there is a lot of good luck in it.

The face of the magistrate of Jingyang was about to burst into laughter, and after Li Zheng finished giving his orders, the magistrate of Jingyang took the officials and left.

The blacksmiths sent by Li Shimin to Jingyang still need to learn the method of forging iron in the blacksmith's shop for a period of time.

Among them, wooden bellows are the most difficult to manufacture.

Of course, Li Zheng didn't want to care about these things, and what kind of weapons Li Shimin wanted to build had nothing to do with him.

A month later, the imperial examination in Chang'an finally started, and this time many Cui family children were excluded.

After giving Li Shimin a start, Li Shimin can easily follow up with more efforts to arrange the next thing.

The Cui family's children with bad conduct will naturally not be able to participate in the imperial examination. The number of people in the imperial examination this time is not large, and there are only more than 300 people in total.

This also reflects that the books of Datang are indeed cheap today, but it will take some time to get more readers.

After all, from the beginning of literacy to reading, it is impossible to reach the level of being able to participate in the imperial examination in just one or two years.

Li Zheng scoffed at the current imperial examination system. If he wanted Datang to have more students from poor families, the imperial examination system had to be changed from the root.

Of course, this is not a trivial matter. Firstly, it depends on how strong Li Shimin's wrist is. Second, the monopoly of the five surnames cannot be broken overnight. In short, Li Shimin's generation did not accomplish such a thing in history.

"If you have too many lice, don't be afraid of biting them. You'll be offended to death anyway." Li Zheng said to Wang Ding while walking chess.

Wang Ding brought Li Shimin's eyeliner, which he said was to help his printing shop, but these people immediately became Li Jiangshan's subordinates when they arrived in Jingyang.

Obviously Li Shimin will not relax with Jingyang, nor will he be completely at ease with himself. Instead, he will stare at himself more and more closely.

Wang Ding moved a cannon, looked at the situation on the chessboard and said, "I heard that the son-in-law is seriously ill and will die soon."

"Yes." Li Zheng said: "The spring cicadas will die when they die, and the wax torches will turn into ashes and tears will dry! I have done so many things for your majesty, and I hold several positions. Hou, Chang'an Ling, and fine salt..."

Li Zheng sobbed and said: "Your Majesty has reached the point of exhaustion. It is too much to dare to ask His Majesty Wang Gonggong when he can end my salary."

When Li Zhengneng said these words, Wang Ding decided in his heart that Li Zheng was not sick at all, and he was just making an excuse not to be a Chang'an order.

Wang Ding said again: "Why don't you ask Dr. Sun to see the pulse of the son-in-law."

"No need, I have diagnosed my own pulse." Li Zheng nodded and said, "You know, I am also a genius doctor."

Wang Ding looked at Li Zheng suspiciously, "Does the palace need to send an imperial doctor? Your Majesty is very worried."

"There's no need for this, if His Majesty can settle my salary..."

Wang Ding looked at Li Zheng's expression.

Li Zheng took a sip of tea and put down the teacup, "Give me the salary, maybe I can live a few more years, and continue to shine for the Tang Dynasty."

"Really? This is the first time this old slave has heard of such a disease after living most of his life."

Li Zheng ate Wang Ding's elephant with a cart and said, "My lord, you lost again."

Wang Ding reluctantly took out a penny.

"Another game?" Li Zheng said after borrowing money.

"The old slave takes less with him when he goes out."

"IOUs can be issued." Li Zheng took out a note and said, "His Royal Highness King Wei also often issues IOUs."

"No need, it's getting late and the old slave should go back." Wang Ding stood up and said again: "Nowadays, most of the Cui family's children have been excluded from the imperial examination because of their misconduct. This time, the Cui family doesn't want to let it go. , Someone submitted a memorial early this morning about the marriage between the Duke and the Princess."

"I see, thank you, Mr. Wang, for letting me know."

"The old slave is leaving." Before leaving, Wang Ding took another look at the dozen or so coins he had lost, all of which were saved with great difficulty.

Unwillingly enduring the heartache, I will win it back next time.

Wang Ding secretly made a decision in his heart.

In August of the sixth year of Zhenguan, Feng An finally came with a lot of grains and some fruits, mostly sugarcane.

Li Zheng broke off a banana and ate it. The banana was a bit small and obviously not a good variety, but it tasted good.

Feng An said: "All the food that the court wanted was given to the court. Jiangnan Road also planted cochin rice seeds, and brought you some beans, horse feed and bran, and [-] shi of old grain that no one wanted. It’s not that the delivery is a little troublesome, but more can be delivered.”

A long convoy lined up at the entrance of Jingyang Village, and Li Yifu asked the villagers to help unload the goods.

Feng An said: "You agreed at the beginning, you want as much as you have."

Li Zheng looked at Feng An's own list and nodded, "Of course it is true."

"A total of [-] guan." Feng An said.

"I'll add another [-] guan as a deposit, and then I will transport the food. It is still the old rule that I will take as much as General Feng can bring, and I will take it before the winter."

"It's rare to see you so cheerful."

"But the price can be cheaper. If the next time is the current amount, I can only pay [-] guan."

"This time [-] guan, you pay [-] guan as a deposit first, and if the amount is the same next time, you only pay [-] guan."

"A total of [-] guan. Anyway, I want as much as General Feng can bring. The more I bring, the more I will pay."

"It's not easy to transport from Lingnan to Chang'an."

Li Zheng said: "Who else can consume so much old grain besides me? The grain grows moldy in your Lingnan, so you might as well sell it to me. It doesn't cost much to collect old grain from Lingnan, and the transportation cost is a big general." With the existing subordinates, apart from the cost of acquisition and transportation, the general still has some money to earn, and should be able to earn [-]%."

Feng An laughed and said, "I have calculated, the old man earns [-]%."

"That's terrible. It's better to sell it to me to earn more if it is wasted in Lingnan. I will ask for more in the future. It will reduce the burden of old grain for Lingnan, and there will be more new grain to be planted. In the future, we can increase the number of acres of planted land. With If there is demand, there will be production, and if there is business, there will be profits, and we will benefit from each other."

Feng An gnawed on the sugar cane and asked, "What do you need so much sugar cane for?"

Li Zheng ate a banana and said, "Make sugar."

"sucrose?"

Li Zheng shook his head, "Sucrose is easy to spoil, what I want to do is brown sugar."

Feng Ang asked curiously, "What kind of sugar is brown sugar?"
