Chapter 410
"It's best to spend money on things, why don't you pay a little more?" Someone from the Lu family whispered.

The elders of the Lu family immediately shouted angrily: "Shut up, this guy who gives Li Zheng more money will only ask for more and more money."

A group of Lu family children also immediately shut up.

In the Cui family's mansion, the elders and juniors of the Cui family have become ants on the hot pot.

The people in Chang'an are talking about it these days, and the talking is getting worse and worse, and the prestige of the five surname families will be lost.

The children of the five surnames, including the elders of the clan of the five surnames, seemed to have been poured on their heads by a basin of cold water, and they suddenly woke up.

"Maybe this Li Zheng did all of this, and we fell for his tricks!"

"Li Zheng is too hateful!"

"In the future, I will definitely ruin Li Zheng's reputation. We will live without rest if this son is not dead."

Recently, I found that the life of the people in the village has also improved.

It seems that even walking is a lot more luxurious.

Li Zheng watched the life of the villagers getting better and better. The old village head said in a low voice: "The hard times used to be over, but now the life of the people in the village is getting better and better."

The old village continued: "Like before, the children in our village ate two meals with one cake."

Sitting next to the old village chief, Li Zheng said, "Actually, I've just eaten enough."

The old village smiled kindly at the children playing in the village.

On the way back to the stables, Li Zheng was thinking about what the old village chief said.

Now that life is better, I can forget the hard days before.

Li Zheng returned to the horse circle and wrote eight words, thrifty, and getting rich.

Xu Jingzong strolled over and was about to talk to Li Zheng about selling books, when he saw Li Zheng wrote eight characters.

Looking at the crooked handwriting, Xu Jingzong hesitated for a while and said: "The son-in-law's handwriting is really..."

"It's really bad, isn't it?" Li Zheng said with a sigh.

Xu Jingzong smiled awkwardly, "It's unique, very special."

"That's enough, stop flattering." Li Zheng wrote down eight words again, hardworking, simple, and friendly.

Xu Jingzong took a closer look and said, "Well written."

Li Zheng nodded, "You write these words into a slogan, engrave it on a sign and hang it at the intersection of our village."

Xu Jingzong asked curiously, "That's it?"

"Yes, the characters should be big and conspicuous, and it's best to see them at a glance."

"Understood." Xu Jingzong nodded.

Difficult and simple, thrifty...

Looking at these eight characters, Xu Jingzong was a little shocked. Li Zheng is still Li Zheng, even if he is now rich.

With so much money, I still have to live on it.

He lived in a small house next to the stables, and the family didn't have a single servant, so poor that he didn't even want face.

How many people can be like Li Zheng these days.

Xu Jingzong looked up at the sky with tears still on his face.

Li Zheng sighed and said, "Why do you look sad again?"

Xu Jingzong said with a choked tone, "I'm so moved. Even though he is so rich, the son-in-law still saves so much, and let the villagers in the village save too. It's really..."

Li Zheng: "Too stingy?"

Xu Jingzong: "No, this is not stingy but living."

After speaking, Xu Jingzong asked several villagers to make more than 30 large wooden signs.

Each sign has a bold and prominent slogan written on it.

Several villagers working in the fields asked Li Daxiong after seeing it, "What is written on it?"

Li Daxiong also glanced at the big wooden sign for a long time and said, "I don't know how to read."

The middle-aged people in the village are basically illiterate.

Chang'an, the day after the five surnames planned to bribe Li Zheng.

Jingyang's new batch of secrets of the five-surname family has not yet been printed, nor has it been sent to Chang'an.

The price of this book has been shouted higher and higher, and it has already reached [-] copies.

In the early morning of this day, Dai Zhou, the minister of Dali Temple, looked very bad.

Many places in Chang'an were attacked by thieves, and the house was turned into a mess, but the property was not lost.

He even almost died.

A book dealer was almost killed, but fortunately he was rescued, and those thieves didn't succeed.

The price of a book is called so expensive for the crime of being pregnant.

Naturally, there will be people with evil intentions.

The people in Dali Temple even suspected that this incident had something to do with the five surnames, maybe it was the five surnames who wanted to seize the book.

I don't want this book to be seen by others, and I don't even care about my life.

Dali Temple Minister Dai Zhou received Li Shimin's will and wanted to investigate thoroughly.

Of course, Li Shimin couldn't tolerate such a thing happening at the feet of the emperor, and petty theft might be fine.

It can be related to human life, which is challenging the law and order of Chang'an City.

With Li Shimin's order, every yamen in Chang'an's Weifu became tense.

Zhang Gongjin got into the carriage, left the hustle and bustle of Chang'an, and came to Jingyang again.

What is strange now is that this time, there is no need to report to Jingyang, and the guards here took the initiative to welcome him into the village.

The contrast between before and after is a bit big.

Walking on the tidy path, the biggest difference between Jingyang and Chang'an is that it is very clean here.

Not long after entering the village, Zhang Gongjin saw a big sign standing on the road.

Looking at the sign, he unconsciously read aloud.

"Diligence and thrift lead to wealth."

"Hard and simple, and friendly."

Zhang Gongjin stopped. According to Li Zheng's current family background, is he poor?
Obviously, Li Zheng's money is estimated to be too much to count. It is said that this kid has not had a decent house so far.

There was not a single servant in the house, and Li Zheng even ate food by himself.

Zhang Gongjin called a child in a village and asked, "Little baby, I have something to ask you."

Di Renjie stopped and glanced at the middle-aged man, and said politely, "This uncle, please tell me."

Zhang Gongjin asked: "Is Li Zheng usually very economical?"

Di Renjie thought for a while and said: "That's not true, the teacher's money is shipped out by trucks."

"Shipping out in a car?"

Di Renjie nodded, "The teacher's money is always not enough. It is said that the money will be spent when it arrives. Money is spent everywhere."

"Are you Li Zheng's disciple?"

Di Renjie looked at him and said, "Who are you?"

"Old man Zhang Gongjin."

"Zhang Gongjin, you are an acquaintance of the teacher, I have heard of you." Di Renjie, who has just turned ten years old, said.

Zhang Gongjin smiled awkwardly, "Where did Li Zheng spend all that money?"

Di Renjie said: "Teacher's money is for building roads, and now he has to build a breeding farm. He bought a lot of wood, but save as much as he can. The people are all from his own village."

"It turned out to be for business." Zhang Gongjin stroked his beard and said, "What about normal times?"

"Usually, the teacher eats ready-made meat dishes in the village. After selling the pork, the teacher uses the leftover meat to cook for himself. The teacher's craftsmanship is very good."

"There are all the villages that need it. Even the furniture is made by the teacher himself. The teacher also said that thrift is a good habit of us Central Plains people."
