Chapter 393 Duan Lun
Li Zheng drank the fish head soup and nodded, "Getting up early and running will help you refresh your mind."

"Indeed, this king has a deep understanding."

"Congratulations to His Royal Highness King Wei for having developed this good habit. Keep at it. Your health is more important than anything else."

"That's right." Li Tai said again in a low voice: "But this king has heard about it, and the prince's marriage has also been settled."

"Really?" It was expected, but Li Zheng asked too much.

"And it's also the ninth year of Zhenguan, which is similar to your life." Li Tai said.

Cheng Chumo added two spoonfuls of chili to the rice. The animal's ability to tolerate spicy food is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Li Zheng regained his composure and whispered to Li Tai: "Since His Royal Highness King Wei wants to compile Kuodizhi and doesn't want to stay in Chang'an for a long time, why not call Cen Wenwen and the others to Jingyang."

"Why did you come to Jingyang to edit?"

Li Zheng gave Li Tai a bowl of soup and said, "It's the same wherever the topography is compiled, anyway, as long as it's compiled."

Li Tai nodded, "It makes sense."

"In this way, His Royal Highness Wei Wang will not have to run around, and there will not be so many troubles in Jingyang, so you can concentrate."

"That's a good idea, why didn't you say it earlier?" Li Tai drank the soup, "I'll call Cen Wenwen and they will come to Jingyang together in a few days."

Early the next morning, Li Tai went to Chang'an after getting up early for a morning run.

Xu Jingzong returned to Jingyang from Chang'an and said to Li Zheng: "Your Majesty, there are many officials in Chang'an impeaching you."

"I'm used to it. If they want to impeach, they can impeach them." Li Zheng looked at the map of his village melancholy and said.

Xu Jingzong said in a low voice: "Some officials joined forces and said that the county marquis should not marry the princess if he has no meritorious service. These people all admonished and hoped that His Majesty could take back this marriage."

Li Zheng drank tea and said, "So?"

Xu Jingzong said in a low voice: "The lower officials think that if we can take a step back, maybe we can quell this impeachment."

Li Zheng looked at Xu Jingzong and said, "Xu Jingzong, when did you become so timid?"

Xu Jingzong quickly said: "It's not that the lower officials are timid, it's a matter of reputation."

Xu Jingzong cleared his throat and said, "Your Majesty, people's words are terrifying. Some people say what people say, does the Marquis know what those people say?"

Li Zheng wanted the goose feather fan in his hand, "What did those people say about me?"

"They say that the county marquis is the most treacherous official in the dynasty."

"Hahaha." Li Zheng said with a smile: "Those people really think highly of me. Why don't Xu Jingzong follow me? If I leave a bad reputation for thousands of years, your official career may come to an end."

Xu Jingzong smiled and said: "The lower officials know that the county marquis is not a traitor, so I can rest assured that I will follow the county marquis."

"Man is doing what the sky is watching, as long as we have a clear conscience."

After speaking, Li Zheng and the villagers were still busy in the wasteland. The most difficult thing was to build the canal, and a lot of cement was used.

At that time, Duke Zou Guogong and Zhang Gongjin brought an official from the Ministry of Rites to Jingyang Village.

Today's Jingyang has a large population and a very large land boundary. It has become the largest county in Chang'an. If it is not at the foot of Chang'an City, it might have been renamed Jingyang County.

On the newly built road, 13-year-old Da Niu is directing a group of villagers to plant trees on both sides of the road.

In the distance, Xu Jingzong is arranging the planting of trees.

Duan Lun, the newly appointed head of the Ministry of Rites, watched the child skillfully count the trees and said, "There is no one in Li Zheng's Jingyang? How could he let a child do things?"

Daniu also heard this sentence, looked back at the two middle-aged men in official uniforms behind him, saluted a little and continued to direct the villagers to drag the trees to Xu Jingzong's place.

The children of Jingyang should not be underestimated. It is said that the children of Jingyang were taught by Li Zheng himself. When Zhang Gongjin saw this child, he said, "Are you a child of Jingyang?"

Daniu had never seen Zhang Gongjin before, and he saluted slightly and said, "Boy, Daniu, has met the two officials."

"Da Niu? A very simple name." Duan Lun said.

Zhang Gongjin then asked: "What are you doing here?"

Daniel explained politely: "I'm counting the trees, and I'm also arranging for the delivery of the trees."

Zhang Gongjin looked at the scene of planting trees and said, "Did Li Zheng ask you to do this?"

Daniel nodded.

"What's the use of planting trees?" Duan Lun asked.

"Of course it's for greening." Daniel said.

Zhang Gongjin signaled Duan Lun not to talk too much, and asked Daniel, "These things should be done by adults, why do you let a child do it."

Daniel said: "A five-kilometer road, five thousand trees, how can I arrange them to fill both sides of the road? And the distance between the trees is the same."

"This..." Zhang Gongjin was also speechless when asked.

"If you can't figure it out, I still have to do it."

Duan Lun said unconvinced: "Don't you know? Why don't you tell me."

Zhang Gongjin glared at Duan Lun, and said, "Excuse me, little brother, we are here to visit the new Duke of the county, Li Zheng."

Daniu said: "After going to the entrance of the village and reporting, you can go in."

"Thank you."

Only then did Zhang Gongjin take Duan Lun away.

After walking away, Duan Lun was unhappy, "The children in Jingyang are so crazy."

Zhang Gongjin smiled bitterly: "Don't fight with a child, and never bully a child."

Duan Lun said: "That child is too rude to the elders."

Zhang Gongjin glared at Duan Lun again, "Didn't you see it? Your brain is only competing. Is what this child said ordinary children can say?"

The official of the Ministry of Rites who followed said, "Could it be that that child is Li Zheng's personal disciple."

Zhang Gongjin nodded.

When they came to the entrance of the village in Jingyang, Zhang Gongjin explained his purpose, and Li Ke, king of Shu, came.

"Zou Guogong." Li Ke said politely, "Why are you here?"

Zhang Gongjin was an important minister at the time and one of the first people to follow his father. Although this person is not serving in the court now, his status in the eyes of his father is not low at all.

Li Ke naturally didn't dare to neglect.

Zhang Gongjin explained: "This time we are here to wear official uniforms and hats for Li Zheng, and we need to explain some things to Li Zheng, as well as the family tree. Now we are going to marry the princess, and there are many things to do If Li Zheng doesn't come to Chang'an, we have no choice but to come to Jingyang."

Li Ke hurriedly led them into the village, "Li Zheng has been busy opening up wasteland these days, so he probably didn't take care of it."

Duan Lun said: "Even if he opens up wasteland, he can't take the matter of marrying the princess so lightly."

When they came to the wasteland that Jingyang was developing, everyone saw Li Zheng busy in the field at a glance.

Li Ke stepped forward and said, "Li Zheng, Duke Zou, Gongjin Zhang and officials from the Ministry of Rites are here."

Then Li Zheng raised his head and stood up and said, "It turns out that Zou Guogong is here."

Zhang Gongjin smiled and said: "You are really a busy person."
