Chapter 574 Li Shimin's IOU
Two thousand and three hundred and forty, there are still some odds and ends, drinking tea, Li Shimin's head is full of black lines, and his expression is still a little stiff.

Li Lizhi said in a low voice: "Father, now Li Zheng also holds several positions. It is probably inappropriate for him to not pay the salary he has owed for so many years."

Li Shimin put down his teacup and held his forehead in pain.

Li Lizhi added: "Daughter knows that Li Zheng has been a little lazy since he became an official. Even if he deducted his salary, it should be done, but he has to give him the money."

The married daughter went so far as to help Li Zheng collect debts.

Li Shimin felt inexplicably sad.

"Father?"

Li Shimin thought for a while and said: "Lizhi, in fact, I also have difficulties."

Li Lizhi looked at her father.

Li Shimin added: "Nowadays, money is used everywhere in the court. Whether it is the frontier army or your marriage with Chengqian, the palace is already frugal everywhere."

Li Lizhi said emphatically: "Frugality is frugality, business is business, salary can be deducted, and business cannot be delayed."

This is right on point.

Where did the well-educated daughter go?
Li Shimin said again: "Li Zheng won't care about the more than 2000 silver coins either."

Li Lizhi nodded, "That's the end of the matter of the salary. The father and the emperor have difficulties and the daughter understands."

Li Shimin nodded.

Li Lizhi took out a piece of paper and said: "But business is business, business is not salary. My daughter asked the queen and the prince a few days ago. The fine salt refined by the father now has a total of [-] shi. At the time, the father and Li Zheng Zheng agreed that as long as ten catties of fine salt are extracted, he will give Li Zhengyi money."

Li Shimin looked at Wang Ding who was standing beside him.

Wang Ding smiled and nodded, "Return to Your Majesty, it was indeed agreed at the beginning.",

Li Shimin looked at Li Lizhi again.

Li Lizhi said: "Until now, my father owed Li Zhengyin a total of 340 guan. As for the previous [-] guan salary, I don't need to worry about it."

Looking at the contract Li Lizhi took out, Li Shimin asked, "This is..."

Li Lizhi put the contract in front of Li Shimin, and asked Xu Hui to bring the pen and ink, "This is an IOU. If my father doesn't plan to give out the money for fine salt, I will ask my father to write a pledge on the IOU."

Looking at the IOU, Li Shimin looked a little dazed and confused.

Looking at the expression on Li Lizhi's face again, Li Shimin hesitated again and again, and pressed his fingerprint on the IOU.

Looking at the smile on her daughter's face, she even smiled proudly.

Li Shimin felt sad, turned and left.

"Wang Ding, do you think Lizhi is different from before?" Li Shimin said as he walked.

"Children will grow up anyway, and now Her Royal Highness has grown up a lot."

Li Shimin walked to his own courtyard step by step.

Empress Changsun likes the air in Jingyang very much. The air in Jingyang is very clean. Even if you breathe, you can feel that the air here is much better than Chang'an, and there is very little sand and dust falling on the window sills.

Compared with Chang'an, where the wind blows from the northwest from time to time, which rolls up a piece of dust, the wind in Jingyang seems to have no dust, and you can breathe boldly.

I don't know how Li Zheng did it.

It seems that Jingyang is another field without sand and dust.

After hearing the report from the palace lady, even the little Sizi fell ill a lot less after coming to Jingyang than before.

Xiao Sizi and Li Zhi were working on a problem together, and Empress Changsun said, "Young slaves, Jingyang seems to be much less dusty than Chang'an."

Hearing what the queen mother said, Li Zhi looked away from the book and explained: "Because we have been planting trees all these years."

"Plant a tree?"

"Yes." Li Zhi said again: "During the heavy rain in Chang'an a few years ago, soil erosion occurred in many places. Li Zheng said that it was the result of the vegetation being cut down, and we have been planting around Jingyang these years. Trees, trees can not only fix the soil but also purify the air, there is a forest to the west of Jingyang, which has never been cut down, and we often plant trees.”

Empress Changsun whispered, "Can trees block the wind and sand?"

Li Zhi added: "The teacher said that as long as a green belt is planted in the Longyou area and a sand prevention forest can be built to block the wind and sand, the air in Chang'an will also be good."

Empress Changsun certainly knew what was going on in the northwest, where there was a piece of yellow land, and every time the wind blew, people would be covered in sand.

"Queen, if you really say what the teacher said, then this is a big event that will change the world."

Empress Changsun heard Li Zhi's words, and planted a sand prevention forest?
Anti-sand forest?
How big does this anti-sand forest need to be.

How wide it needs to be able to resist the wind and sand.

Furthermore, it is too late to say that the current Datang has land to grow food.

After thinking about this, Empress Changsun let out another long sigh.

Seeing Li Shimin come back, Empress Changsun poured a cup of tea and said, "Your Majesty doesn't seem to be in a very good mood, did you encounter any unhappy things?"

Li Shimin said: "Let Li Zheng, a boy, increase the output of the printing workshop, he has been procrastinating. Now, as soon as this boy thinks of having land, he rushes to farm! What I asked him to do, he is so unwilling." Take it to heart."

Hearing Li Shimin say a lot, Empress Changsun was also surprised, how could Li Shimin be full of resentment.

Even if Li Zheng didn't care about running the printing house, he still gave him a deadline.

Empress Changsun sat aside and continued to mend the clothes, "Recently when Zhinu and Mingda grew up, last year's clothes can't fit anymore."

Li Shimin said again: "Guanyin servant girl, you say she is beautiful..."

Empress Changsun said in a low voice, "What's wrong with Lizhi?"

Li Shimin's expression was a bit tangled, and his brows were tightly frowned, "I went to Li Zheng's house again today, and found that Lizhi seems to be a little different from before."

Empress Changsun had a smile on her face, "It's different, but people have to grow and change. Now that Lizhi is the hostess of Jingyang, she should be more mature."

Li Shimin said in a low voice: "How do you think Li Zhi is helping Li Zheng to ask for debts from me? She has only been married for a long time, and she has already turned to others."

Empress Changsun smiled lightly and said, "That's also His Majesty's daughter, but it seems that Lizhi's life in Jingyang is quite busy now, and she said that her life in Jingyang is very fulfilling now."

Seeing that Li Shimin still had a sullen expression on his face, Empress Changsun asked the maid to bring a bowl of jelly, and said, "Recently, Li Zheng has made another food called jelly. It tastes very good after being chilled."

Li Shimin took out a small bite with a spoon and ate it, tasting that the jelly tasted like peaches.

The taste is still very good, and I took another big bite.

Then, as if venting his anger, Li Shimin devoured the jelly after a few mouthfuls.
