People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 554 Short-sighted Emperor

He was dragged into the house by Li Shimin, and the current courtyard is also filled with simple furniture, and such a long convoy from the royal family obviously brought a lot of things.

Li Zheng was sitting down in the room, and the maids and eunuchs outside the door were already busy.

The furniture was also brought in piece by piece.

After receiving the tea from Wang Ding, Li Zheng looked at Li Shimin, "What would your majesty want to tell me?"

Li Shimin took out a blueprint and put it in front of Li Zheng, "Tell me what this is?"

Looking down at the blueprint handed over by Li Shimin, it was the blueprint of the dam that he wanted to build.

Li Shimin said in a low voice: "Tell me first what is the use of this thing."

"This blueprint should be given to His Majesty by His Royal Highness King Jin."

"Yes."

Li Shimin did not deny it.

Li Zheng put down the drawing and said, "Actually, this thing is a dam, which is used to store water and create hydraulic power."

Li Shimin looked suspiciously, "Water storage and water power generation?"

Li Zheng nodded, "For the time being, it's only for this purpose."

"Do you know how much manpower and financial resources are needed to build this thing?"

"It will probably take tens of thousands of laborers to work for three years, and of course the flow may be cut off during the period."

"No matter how I look at it, I feel that this is a big pond for raising fish."

"Fish ponds are also one of the uses."

Seeing Li Shimin staring at him, Li Zheng said in a low voice: "It doesn't matter if the government opposes it. At worst, I won't build this dam. Anyway, you can't see the future benefits. To me, your short-sightedness is understandable." Just because you've all been standing still for too long."

Li Shimin nodded and said: "Do you know what tone you are talking to me?"

Li Zheng grinned and said: "At the beginning, how many people were talking about the Emperor Shi Huang's conquest, construction of roads, and the construction of the Great Wall, but now how many people are under the protection of the Great Wall? Many times, your short-sightedness has made you content with the status quo. You don't understand the importance of planning ahead."

Li Shimin stared at Li Zheng coldly.

The house was very quiet, but the maids and eunuchs outside were very busy.

Wang Ding was standing outside the house, and he would not let anyone enter the house at this time.

"Does Your Majesty know what the world will be like ten years from now? Do you know what the world will be like 20 years from now? Does Your Majesty know what the world will be like in the next five years?"

Li Shimin stared at Li Zheng without saying a word.

After being quiet for a long time, Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said, "You go out first."

Li Zheng still smiled and said: "You are Your Majesty, if you don't let me build this dam, I won't build it, and I won't force it."

After speaking, Li Zheng stood up and walked out of the other courtyard step by step.

Seeing Li Zheng leaving, Wang Ding looked back at the room, where His Majesty was sitting alone.

Standing outside the house, Wang Ding heard Li Zheng's words clearly.

Taking a deep breath, Wang Ding continued to guard the door.

Walking out of the other courtyard, I saw Li Tai eating cakes and talking to Empress Changsun.

Empress Changsun saw Li Zheng coming out and said with a smile, "What did you say to Your Majesty?"

Li Zheng said: "It's nothing, the queen is in good health recently."

Empress Changsun smiled and said, "It's pretty good. I haven't been sick for a long time."

Li Zheng nodded slightly, and Empress Changsun looked good, so there must be no major problems during this period of time.

"This palace still needs to sort out the things brought by these palaces. Remember to come to the other courtyard for dinner later."

He didn't reject Empress Changsun's words, and watched her walk into another courtyard.

Li Zheng frowned and said to Li Tai: "Fatty, it's all over now, your royal family are all in Jingyang."

Li Tai grinned, "How many places in this world can let my father visit here?"

"Don't make it sound like I'm honored. Your father needs tens of thousands of people to go on a trip. I really don't understand why you are so proud."

"Because that's my royal father!"

Li Tai was still somewhat complacent.

Li Zheng sighed: "Look at your values, there is a problem."

Just as he was talking about a woman walking in front of him, Li Zheng saw that the person who came was a middle-aged woman. Judging by the attire, he should be one of Li Shimin's concubines.

Li Tai saluted first, "I have seen Concubine Yang."

Li Zheng also saluted.

Concubine Yang smiled and said: "Li Zheng, I have heard Ke'er mention you several times. I have heard your name for many years, and this is the first time I have seen you."

Concubine Yang is the biological mother of King Li Ke of Shu. Li Zheng lowered his head and said, "Did His Highness King Shu speak ill of me?"

Concubine Yang covered her mouth with a light smile and said, "Ke'er said a lot of good things about you, so why would she say bad things about you?"

"I have experienced a lot of sinister things since I was a child, but I just think about it and hope Concubine Yang will not be offended."

"So you think Ke'er is speaking ill of you here in this palace?"

"Usually, people say things behind my back. If I don't know what others are saying, I will take it as talking bad about me."

"Your temper is really as weird as it is said outside."

Concubine Yang's smile was a little stiff, and seeing the awkward atmosphere, Li Tai quickly said, "That's Li Zheng's character."

Glancing at Concubine Yang's expression, Li Zheng said again: "If someone I don't know or know well, I will treat him as a bad person first."

Concubine Yang looked Li Zheng up and down, "It's a bit embarrassing to say this, but it's also a way of life. You can't leave the palace privately on weekdays. This time I came to thank you. Thank you for taking care of me for so long. Keer."

Li Zheng still bowed and said: "Actually, it's nothing. The main thing is that His Royal Highness Shu Wang is honest and capable in doing things. If it falls into the hands of people with ulterior motives, His Royal Highness Shu King will inevitably be sold and still counting money."

Concubine Yang's smile was much more awkward.

"Then what, it's getting late, let's go prepare meals."

Watching Li Tai and Li Zheng leave, Concubine Yang stood still thinking about Li Zheng's words, Li Ke really has no city.

If he meets someone with a scheming heart, Li Ke might be taken advantage of.

Yang Fei stood there and let out a long sigh.

Li Zheng is right, Li Ke is indeed such a person.

I feel relieved a lot in my heart, at least the kid Li Zheng told the truth and reminded me rightly.

"Is he Li Zheng?" Concubine Wei walked up and said.

"Concubine Wei." Concubine Yang saluted slightly.

Everyone is Li Shimin's concubine, and Concubine Wei has never been pregnant with a prince.

Concubine Yang kept a distance from her and walked into the other courtyard.

The food in the other courtyard is prepared by the people in the village.

From the pig farm came the howling of pigs.

The villagers have already started killing pigs for dinner.

Back home, Li Lizhi and Xiao Sizi were not there.

Xu Hui said: "Princess Changle and Princess Jinyang have both gone to another courtyard."

Li Zheng sat down in the yard and looked at the clouds in the sky.

Li Zheng's expression didn't seem too good.

Xu Hui asked in a low voice: "Chang'an Ling encountered something unpleasant?"
