People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 429 The Elixir
"Luggage? Zou Guogong's luggage?"

Xu Jingzong was also puzzled for a while, and then he came back to his senses, "I'm going to Chang'an City now."

Li Zheng cooked a table of dishes. Zhang Gongjin looked at these dishes and was very curious. Li Zheng could always make some dishes that no one else had seen before.

And these dishes are also very delicious.

As soon as the children came back, they ate heartily at the dinner table. After eating, Daniel took the group of children and left in a hurry.

Zhang Gongjin said with emotion: "Your life is really pleasant."

Li Zheng poured two cups of hot tea.

Zhang Gongjin looked at the strange cup in front of him. The cup was as big as the face of a ten-year-old child. There was a handle beside the cup, and the lid and the handle were tied with a rope.

Looking curious, Zhang Gongjin asked, "You?"

"This cup is weird, isn't it?"

Zhang Gongjin nodded.

Li Zheng took a sip and said: "I can't make enamel, so I can only use bamboo tubes instead. It's all about feelings."

Zhang Gongjin took a sip of the hot tea, "It's still quite unique."

"The old man has visited your village before and after. Li Zheng, you seem to be the kind of person who will be content with one acre of land. The old man once thought that if you enter the court and become an official, you may be able to replicate all kinds of things in Jingyang County to the Central Plains. everywhere."

Li Zheng raised his glass and said with a smile, "It's not the same thing. I know what Zou Guogong means, but I can take drastic measures to govern a small village. If the whole Guanzhong is like this, it will easily hurt my muscles and bones."

Zhang Gongjin sighed and said: "How can we change the world without hurting the muscles and bones? Back then, I was discussing the general trend of the world with Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, but every time I talked about some things, I always felt that the efforts of a generation might not be enough."

"Success and fame will be recorded in the annals of history? Sometimes I think about whether our generation has to sacrifice one generation in order to fulfill the next generation."

Zhang Gongjin's words are a bit high.

Li Zheng drank his tea while listening.

Zhang Gongjin continued, "Li Zheng, what do you think?"

"I feel that I can only make money, and I don't know much about these important affairs of the family and the country."

"Really?" Zhang Gongjin smiled meaningfully.

Li Zheng said again: "If I say, I feel that governing the country is like cooking a small dish. It won't work if it lacks a flavor, and it won't work if it has an extra flavor."

Zhang Gongjin nodded, "Your cooking skills are really good."

Xu Jingzong moved very quickly, and moved Zhang Gongjin's salute in Chang'an to the goods of five carriages in Jingyang.

Followed by five or six servants of Zhang Gongjin's family.

Li Zheng brought Zhang Gongjin to the residential area of ​​Jingyang, which is full of small houses.

"Zou Guogong, I still have some empty houses here, some of which are shabby, please don't dislike them."

Zhang Gongjin looked at the houses here, "This house is very solid, although it is not as beautiful as the houses in Chang'an."

Li Zheng said: "The most important thing is to be practical."

Houses made of relatively advanced cement and stone bricks may not be very in line with the aesthetics of people in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Zheng introduced: "Mr. Zou doesn't think this house is small. Our house in Jingyang is not afraid of wind and rain. It is warm in winter and cool in summer. It is cold and frost-proof. It is perfect for retirement."

Zhang Gongjin looked at the thickness of the wall, "It's a waste."

"What wasted?" Li Zheng wondered.

Zhang Gongjin said: "It would be a waste to use such fine stones to build houses. It would be better if they were used to repair the city walls."

Li Zheng doesn't like things like city walls very much. "I think millions of people crowded into a boxy city pool hinders development. Anyway, I don't like city walls."

Zhang Gongjin said: "If there is no city wall, how can we resist foreign enemies?"

"This one……"

Indeed, as Zhang Gongjin said, there is a necessary reason for the existence of the city wall.

The city wall has been an inherent cognition of people for thousands of years.

But in the era of hot weapons, although the city walls were useful like trenches, the city walls of Datang are not strong enough now, unless concrete can be used.

Just like the city wall of Chang'an City, several kilograms of gunpowder were buried in the weaker part of the city wall.

Ignite the fire and the city of Chang'an will be blown up.

Li Shimin thought that his Chang'an City was impenetrable?

It's really hard to disagree.

It is good for war and bad for development.

If millions of people are locked in one city, it will hinder the expansion of the city.

Still in the era of slash-and-burn farming, Li Zheng felt that it was a bit early for him to think about these things.

Besides, you can't move your mind on the city wall.

Shen Wansan, a wealthy businessman in the Ming Dynasty, had nothing to do to build the city wall for Zhu Yuanzhang. What happened?
Sometimes people feel that people in this era are stupid.

You are the fools.

In this tough age, it is not easy to have enough food. Li Zheng feels that Li Shimin's life has nothing to do with him.

He foolishly thought what a wise emperor he was.

Li Zheng felt that with some physical and chemical means, he could destroy Li Shimin's three views.

There is still a long way to go for my village to get rid of poverty and become rich. If you have nothing to do, you should stop working for the emperor.

If you make great achievements for the emperor, you may die yourself.

Take Shang Yang for example.

Of course, since the first emperor implemented the system of prefectures and counties, this system has allowed future generations to enjoy this dividend, and it has enjoyed it for more than 2000 years.

The servants of Zhang Gongjin's family are very diligent, and they arranged the new home in half an hour.

Soon Zhang Gongjin found a few people in this village who he could talk to.

For example, the old village chief and Sun Simiao.

Half a month later, Zhang Gongjin has completely integrated into the life of the village.

Zhang Gongjin's lungs are not very good. This is an old disease accumulated in the early years. Sun Simiao has shown him that he can still recover from the disease if he cultivates well.

Li Zheng took out a few capsules and handed them to Zhang Gongjin, "Zou Guogong, this medicine is good for your lungs, at least it can relieve the coughing."

Looking at the medicine in front of him, Zhang Gongjin said again: "The old man is already very troublesome living in your Jingyang, where can I receive these miraculous medicines from you?"

Li Zheng smiled awkwardly, "What kind of panacea is this?"

Zhang Gongjin said: "I can accept your medicine, but I won't get paid for nothing, and I can't take your medicine for nothing."

"It doesn't matter, I will send it to Zou Guogong every month from now on." Li Zheng said with a smile.

Zhang Gongjin laughed and scolded: "You brat, you still send it every month. You hope that the old man can go to your academy every month to teach the children in the village."

"Zou Guogong, you're welcome."

Zhang Gongjin picked up Li Zheng's medicine and nodded in agreement, "I will give lectures to the children in the village every month."

A spring rain falls, indicating that the weather will start to warm up.

Sitting in the small room next to his stable, Li Zheng felt a lot more relaxed watching the heavy rain.

Sometimes I feel that rainy days are the most peaceful.

Xu Hui sat aside and poured Li Zheng a cup of hot tea and said, "Chang'an Ling, this is the account book for this month."
