People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 440
The old village head led a group of villagers to watch the cart after cart of grain being transported into the village, and he was stunned for a while, "How can we eat so much grain?"

"I bought a batch of old grain before, and now there are so many." A group of middle-aged men in the village shook their heads and sighed.

"What do you think Zheng'er is thinking?"

"Poor Zheng'er hasn't had enough to eat since he was a child. He must be afraid of starving now."

Li Daxiong looked at his son from a distance, and it turned out that his son was already as tall as himself, so he took a second look and didn't say a word.

Pick up the hoe and turn around and go to the field to continue working.

After many years, Li Zheng is no longer the child he was back then.

The harvest of the day did not end until the evening, and the whole village was full of grain.

One sack piled up on top of another to form hills, a special situation seen from a distance.

If Li Shimin saw these grains four years ago, he might have rushed over to grab them with envy.

Now that the grain has been harvested for two or three consecutive years, the granary in the court may be full.

Li Yifu is still counting the amount of food, if Xu Hui is not responsible for Jingyangfang City's accounts, it would be too busy.

Mr. Zhang would like to see that Daniel led a group of children to count the food, and he was very skilled at counting the abacus.

Some don't understand, so Zhang Gongjin did the calculations himself, and calculated according to his own calculations and then compared his own calculations.

The children's weights were exactly the same as their own.

And the calculation is faster than myself.

Zhang Gongjin stopped a child and asked, "Who taught you your math skills?"

"Brother Big Niu taught me." A child who was changing teeth said, "It's a very simple vertical calculation."

"Who is Big Niu?"

Zhang Gongjin asked again and asked the child strangely.

He sniffed and explained: "Brother Big Niu is our class monitor. Brother Big Niu learned his skills from Brother Li Zheng. After he learned it, Brother Big Niu taught it to us."

A child less than ten years old can use numeracy so proficiently, no less than those scholars who have achieved success in learning.

Zhang Gongjin knows the scholars in Chang'an best.

Those scholars in the Hongwen Museum may not be as good as this ten-year-old child.

I was secretly surprised how Li Zheng taught.

The appearance of a Li Zheng in Datang is enough to shock the world.

If there are tens of thousands of Li Zheng in the future.

How can I get it.

As the saying goes, it is not easy to spread fake knowledge to the outside world, and it seems that Li Zheng also taught it to the children in the village generously.

Or it could be said that what Li Zheng taught is only superficial, maybe Li Zheng still has higher skills that he has not taught.

It has been some days since he taught in the academy, but it was the first time that Zhang Gongjin felt ashamed of himself.

Wang Ding brought someone to Jingyang, and the eunuch was already an old acquaintance in the village.

As Li Shimin's spokesperson, if he was in another house, he might have gone out to greet him early.

It was also in Jingyang, and when he arrived in Jingyang, he had to walk in front of Li Zheng himself.

Li Zheng finished moving a cart of grain and put down his rolled-up trouser legs, wiped the sweat off his brow, saw Wang Ding and said, "My lord, why are you here?"

Wang Ding said with a smile: "Your Majesty heard that the Chang'an order was collecting Chen Liang, so he asked this old slave to come over to discuss the matter of Chen Liang."

Li Zheng sat on the rock and said, "What? Your Majesty also wants to sell me food?"

Wang Ding said: "Nowadays, grain harvests have been bumper year after year, and many official warehouses are full. This is not to remove some old grain from the official warehouses in the middle of the court. Old grain will go bad after a long time."

"Does His Majesty want to sell it to me or give it to me?"

Wang Ding said with a smile: "Speaking of which, the harvest in Guanzhong has been bumper year after year, but the government's expenses are tight."

Li Zheng thought about it and said, "Wang Gonggong is wrong, right?"

"What's wrong."

Li Zheng put his arm around Wang Ding's shoulder and said in a low voice: "Eunuch Wang, our business has been doing well recently, and the money I give to His Majesty every month ranges from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands. How can we say that we have no money? How much money does His Majesty lack?"

Wang Ding smiled awkwardly, "What did Chang'an Ling say? Now that the court is spending a lot of money, and the prince is about to get married, there is no way to spend money. I said that the money does not go to the Ministry of Household Affairs. Your Majesty secretly saves it." Come down in case you need it."

Li Zheng said: "Feelings are His Majesty's desire to earn my money."

Wang Ding bowed and said: "This is an opportunity for Chang'an Ling to make meritorious service, to help Chaozhong clean up some old grain, I really can't let it go."

After the cold wave of previous years has passed, the past two years have been bumper harvests.

Li Zheng said to Wang Ding: "I understand what Wang Gonggong means. Your Majesty wants to sell Chen Liang to me. It can not only help the court reduce the burden, but also earn my money?"

"Yes... and no."

Li Zheng: "..."

Wang Ding's smile became more embarrassing, "I've said it all, this is a great achievement, and His Majesty will not treat Chang'an Ling badly."

"Treat me badly? Ever since I made the Jingyang Order, I have never received a penny of salary from the court. Now I say that I will not treat you badly. Is your majesty so thick-skinned?"

Wang Ding glanced around hastily, and said in a panic, "Chang'an orders you to be cautious."

"I'm going to marry Princess Changle, it's not kind for His Majesty to cheat me like this."

Wang Ding said in a low voice: "Your Majesty ordered it all. If Chang'an Ling thinks it's not kind, why don't you go to the palace and discuss it with Your Majesty?"

Li Zheng smiled coldly, "I'm afraid I won't be able to get out if I go in, so please don't trick me, Eunuch Wang."

Wang Ding said: "When the grain is old, will the Chang'an order accept it or not?"

Li Zheng pointed to a large sack of grain behind him, "It's not easy to handle, please look, Eunuch Wang, I have enough here, I really can't take it."

Wang Ding clicked his tongue and sighed, "Chaozhong can sell it to Chang'an Ling at a cheaper price."

"Four Wen coins and a bucket of old grain."

Wang Ding thought for a while and said, "Didn't Chang'an order to collect Chen Liang today for ten cents a bucket?"

Li Zheng said: "The old grain in the court has been backlogged for several years. I feel that I am at a loss if I want to take over the order. I have spent all my family's wealth in order to collect grain. I don't have much money."

Wang Ding thought it over and said, "It's too cheap, how about six dollars a fight?"

Li Zheng said calmly: "Sanwen!"

Wang Ding said anxiously, "Why is it getting cheaper and cheaper?"

"Aside from me, who else would want to accumulate two or three years of old grain in the court?"

Wang Ding said aggrievedly: "It's not easy for this old slave to deal with His Majesty."

"That's your business, it has nothing to do with me."

Wang Ding gritted his teeth and stomped his feet and said, "Then four fen a bucket!"

"Deal!" Li Zheng readily agreed.

Wang Ding was stunned, feeling a little tricked.

He greeted Li Yifu and said: "You follow the prince to get food, and you will receive four coins per bucket."

Li Yifu nodded and said, "Young Lord, please lead the way."

Wang Ding took two steps and looked back at Li Zheng.

Li Zheng: "Eunuch Wang, is there anything else?"

Heaving a long sigh, Wang Ding still took Li Yifu to collect grain and did business with Li Zheng, a little fox.

It seems that this time Li Zheng has been tricked again.
