Chapter 552
Li Shimin's coming to Jingyang to escape the summer heat is a very big deal for Jingyang.

You must know that Jingyang was very poor in the past, so poor that even beggars did not come to Jingyang.

In less than ten years now, Jingyang County has become the richest county around Chang'an City.

For a while, the news quickly spread to the surrounding villages.

Many women from other villages also came to inquire whether there were no boys in Jingyang who had not found a wife.

It is also a good choice to marry her own daughter to the wealthy Jingyang.

Back then, Jingyang was so poor that no one looked down upon it.

Now every family is scrambling to marry their daughters in.

In a few years, it may be impossible to climb high.

The situation was completely opposite to that of a few years ago. The aunts in the village also pointed fingers at those who came to visit. They used to look down on Jingyang, but now they are all rushing to curry favor.

The old village is directing the men in the village to do things.

Clean the village roads, tidy up the house, and build a big courtyard for the current emperor to escape the summer heat.

The matter of building another courtyard undoubtedly fell on Yan Liben's head.

A complex rotary machine has not yet been built.

It is necessary to withdraw to direct the construction of the royal courtyard.

While listening to Yan Liben's complaints, Li Zheng comforted him, "The regulations don't need to be too high, just build a big house, and I don't have the money to build another palace for His Majesty today, and the time is very tight for the beginning of next month. "

Yan Liben looked at the busy work of the villagers and said: "You said that this kind of thing should not be settled early, why did you just decide this month that you will come to live next month?"

Knowing that Yan Liben was busy, Li Shimin was going to live in Jingyang, so Yan Liben might not even have time to sleep.

Even the villagers rushed to work overnight, and the three shifts worked non-stop.

Li Yifu came in a hurry, "Chang'an Order, Daoist Yuan is here."

Li Zheng asked curiously, "Why is he here?"

"It is said that it is to build a palace for His Majesty, and Daoist Yuan needs to give pointers."

"Go and invite him over."

Today's Yuan Tiangang is also in good spirits on happy occasions, and the court advocates supporting Taoism.

There are several more Taoist temples around Chang'an. For Taoists, building a Taoist temple in a place where Buddhism is at its peak is like expanding the territory.

Yuan Tiangang walked up with a compass in his hand and said, "Li Zheng, long time no see."

Looking back and seeing Yuan Tiangang with white beard and hair, Li Zheng stood up and said, "Why are you here?"

Yuan Tiangang caressed his beard and said, "Your Majesty wants to come to Jingyang to escape the summer heat, and the poor Taoist wants to come to Kanyu."

After speaking, Yuan Tiangang walked into the construction site where the other courtyard was built.

Looking at the compass, it began to look good.

The location of this courtyard is not in the residential area, but in the northeast of Jingyang, next to a hill. Of course, this hill is the hill that was transformed into terraced fields before.

The other courtyard faces south, so even in the hot noon, there will be bursts of coolness in this place.

It is an excellent location for escaping the heat.

Seeing Yuan Tiangang staring at the compass, Li Zheng whispered to Yan Liben, "Is it so particular about building a house? Is it so particular about repairing palaces?"

Yan Liben looked at the blueprints of other courtyards and said, "That's not true, but if the palace needs major changes, Kanyu is indispensable, whether it's a powerful family or His Majesty's palace, Kanyu is indispensable."

"You ancients just like these details."

Yuan Tiangang wandered around the address of the other courtyard and came back and said: "The poor have done their best. Although this place is not the best, it is not bad, but the door cannot be opened inwards, only outwards."

"Okay, just do what Daoist Yuan said." Li Zheng reluctantly agreed.

I don't really want to refute Yuan Tiangang's big fool, I'm afraid of being burned if I explain too much.

After all, it is easy to be regarded as an outlier who wants to oppose the mainstream beliefs of this era.

There is nothing wrong with living in a muddleheaded age.

Seeing Yuan Tiangang still watching, Li Zheng smiled politely at him.

The old Taoist priest was still looking at himself.

Being stared at by an old man, Li Zheng felt hairy all over his body.

"Daoist Yuan, do you have anything else to do?" Li Zheng couldn't help but asked.

"Pindao still wants to know, what did you say that Pindao missed at the beginning, and what made him regret his whole life?"

Li Zheng shook his fan and said, "I'm sorry, so many years have passed, I have long forgotten."

Yuan Tiangang almost pulled out a few strands of beard from his chin, "Forgot?"

Li Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, I just forgot."

Yuan Tiangang looked confused, "How could I forget?"

Li Zheng looked up at the sky and said: "I said that when the time comes, I will naturally tell Daoist Yuan. Maybe I will remember it when the time comes. It's not that I didn't say it was not the time."

Yuan Tiangang sighed, "It's not that the time has not come yet, what a profound sentence, it shows that your morality is no lower than that of the poor."

"Daoist Yuan has won the prize, so what kind of morality is there?"

"Pindao knows that you are humble and prudent, but why do you have such a sad face when you say this."

"It's nothing, it's just touching the scene."

"Touching the scene to make you fall in love?"

Yuan Tiangang took a look around, and it seemed that there was nothing to touch the scene around.

Looking at Li Zheng's expression, Yuan Tiangang said: "Your realm seems to be a bit higher than before, and I feel ashamed to be poor."

Li Zheng touched his nose and said, "Really? How can you tell?"

Yuan Tiangang said: "Taking emptiness as the basis and following the rules as the function. There is no achievement and impermanence, so you can study the feelings of all things. What is empty is real, and what is real is empty. Li Zheng, what you see is beyond the reach of ordinary people." See."

The corners of Li Zheng's mouth twitched when he heard this, can we continue the conversation?

Yuan Tiangang said with a smile: "Pindao should go back to Chang'an too. If the time comes in the future, please tell me about the thing that made him regret for the rest of his life."

After speaking, Yuan Tiangang sat down in meditation, as if he had entered a state of meditation.

Li Zheng whispered to Yan Liben: "Don't get too close to Daoist Yuan, and be careful not to be fooled by him."

Yan Liben said with some disdain: "This old man doesn't know the details of the sect."

Well, it seems that Yan Liben has little chance of being fooled.

By noon the weather started to heat up immediately.

This year is going to be a very hot year, and it's only June.

The big dog was lying beside the horse pen, sticking out its tongue, looking listless.

Xu Jingzong is sorting out these files here.

Seeing Li Zheng coming, Xu Jingzong hurriedly said: "Chang'an Ling, the members of Changsun's family have gone to check the ancestral home of Xinxin."

Li Zheng drank tea and said, "I see."

Xu Jingzong said in a low voice: "Do you need our people to do something?"

Li Zheng put down his teacup and said, "No need to do anything, nothing is allowed."

"understood."

Xu Jingzong no longer doubted Li Zheng's words.
