People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 821 The prince also owes money

"[-]% off... IOU?" Li Shimin asked in surprise, "Qingque owes you money?"

Li Zheng nodded, "Of course, His Majesty King Wei was short of money and couldn't pay the money, so he issued an IOU, and His Majesty owed me the money and didn't pay it back."

Li Shimin sneered and said, "Isn't one thousand guan too expensive?"

Be very quick to steer clear of the subject of owed money.

"Then I can't get too much cheaper, [-]% off is enough, no less." Li Zheng nodded seriously.

Originally thinking about Li Zheng getting involved with the prince, Li Shimin really didn't want him to be like this, but this kid sold Li Tai an idea for a thousand pennies, and he made a deal out of a friendship.

Li Shimin said in a low voice: "That is to say, whether it is Li Tai, Li Chengqian, or others, you will give them advice as long as they spend money?"

Li Zheng smiled and said: "This business is limited to acquaintances. If anyone pays me to give them advice, I guess the team can line up all the way to Chang'an City. I have to find a way for them one by one. Forget it. I don't need to sleep for a few days or nights, so let me go."

Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help laughing.

Li Zheng sprinkled some chili powder on the mutton kebabs. Seeing that the chili powder was almost used up, he said to Du Hu who was cleaning up the house, "Da Hu, bring the newly made chili powder."

"Okay." The industrious Duhu put down the wooden board in his hand, washed his hands, and brought a can of chili powder.

Seeing that Li Zheng sprinkled chili powder carefully again, after watching for a while, he was still sprinkling, Li Shimin's mouth twitched and said: "The medical officer of the Imperial Medical Office said that I have been on fire recently."

"Really?" Li Zheng stopped sprinkling chili powder, "It's true that you should eat less chili when you get angry. I recently have a herbal tea formula for dispelling fire. Would you like to try it, Your Majesty?"

Li Shimin ate the mutton skewers and said, "Does it mean that if I want your herbal tea recipe, I have to pay for it?"

Asking Xu Jingzong to pour a cup of tea for Li Shimin, Li Zheng said: "This herbal tea dispels fire and inflammation, nourishes the stomach and improves eyesight, and can even cool off the heat in summer."

Li Shimin was not interested in herbal tea, so he finished eating the string of mutton in his hand and said: "If I want to know the reason why the house exploded when I arrested the assassin that night, how much will I need to spend?"

After speaking, Li Shimin waited for Li Zheng's reply.

The kid took a sip of tea and ate another skewer of mutton. Judging by his demeanor, he didn't seem to intend to answer.

Li Shimin glanced at Xu Jingzong again.

Xu Jingzong stood aside and smiled.

"Aren't you willing to tell me?" Li Shimin said.

"In fact, the reason for the dust explosion is very simple. It is mainly in a dry room with poor ventilation. It will explode when it encounters an open flame. Keep the windows ventilated and never light a fire while the dust is kicking up."

Li Shimin nodded, "I've heard some weird things when you say that."

Li Zheng still nodded, "So, you need to clean frequently and ventilate more, so you will be safe."

After thinking for a while, Li Shimin said again: "Since the house is full of dust to explode, how did you manage to blow up people?"

Li Zhengchang sighed and said: "The moon is dark and the wind is high, it's just that the dust can't be seen clearly, all of this was arranged by Xu Jingzong."

Li Shimin looked at Xu Jingzong with suspicion.

Xu Jingzong smiled awkwardly, "That's all taught by Chang'an Order, I'm just doing things according to the method of Chang'an Order."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Is it that simple?"

Li Zheng nodded, "It's that simple, but this method is simple and easy to use, so I will give it to Your Majesty for free."

Losing interest in eating, Li Shimin stood up and said, "Li Zheng, if one day you don't value money so much, I think you are a very good talent."

Li Zheng waved his fan and said, "Your Majesty looks upon me highly, but I'm just a common man who likes money."

With a sneer, Li Shimin turned and left.

Walking to the entrance of Jingyang Village, Li Junxian, who was waiting here, stepped forward and said, "Someone is coming from Your Majesty's Palace."

Seeing the eunuch coming from the palace, Li Shimin asked, "What's wrong?"

The little eunuch said with some fear: "Your Majesty, Princess Fangling's husband, Dou Fengjie, went to the palace to ask His Majesty again, and is now waiting outside Chengtian Gate."

Thinking of Fang Ling, Li Shimin looked impatient, "I don't have time to see him."

After receiving the words, the little eunuch bowed and said, "Here, let's report back."

Glancing at His Majesty's expression, Li Junxian said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, too many people have been arrested recently. This time, the dignitaries in Chang'an are panicked."

Leaving Jingyang County all the way, Li Shimin walked and looked at a forest in the distance, "Catch him as you want, this time I will not forgive lightly, and no one needs to beg for mercy."

Li Junxian bowed and responded, "Here."

Looking at the children who are planting trees in the distance, from the entrance of Jingyang Village, there are such small forests to the west. The trees are not very tall, but they have already become a forest.

Among these children, Li Shimin found Li Zhi's figure.

Li Junxian saw Li Zhi, Li Zhi has grown a lot taller now, and he is still wearing the same short shirt as other children, so it is not obvious from the crowd that he is a prince.

Seeing that Li Zhi didn't seem to notice His Majesty, Li Junxian was about to go up to say hello, but was stopped by His Majesty.

Li Shimin said in a low voice: "Didn't you notice? He smiled happily. He would have such a smile when he was in the palace. Let him be here. I'll just take a look from a distance."

Li Junxian withdrew his steps and fell silent again.

Looking at the scenery in the distance, this small forest stretches all the way to the west. I heard the Guanyin maid said that the air in Jingyang is very good and clean.

It is the result that this piece of anti-sand forest blocks the sand and dust.

There are some things that I have not done, and others have not done, maybe only Li Zheng is doing it year after year.

These barren lands cannot grow food, but they can grow big trees.

It would be great if there was such a forest outside of Chang'an, so that Chang'an would not stir up sand and dust whenever it was windy.

In recent years, the Guanzhong area has been enclosing the lake for land reclamation. For food, the forests have been cut down to plant food, which has caused the land to become more and more barren. The water source has often been flooded due to the encirclement of the lake for land reclamation. The long-term logging has led to soil erosion. Every rainy season All mud and sand.

Perhaps Li Zheng's method is the long-term solution. Plant trees so that the land will no longer be barren and the wind and sand will no longer invade.

It may take decades or even generations of work.

Who would do this kind of thing? Nowadays, people are still doing their best to have enough food every day.

Walking all the way back to the palace in a low-key manner, Li Shimin was filled with emotion.

Back at the Ganlu Hall, there are piles of memorials on the table, and these memorials are faced every day.

Before he started reviewing the memorial, Li Shimin called a young eunuch and said, "Send the word down and tell the maids and eunuchs in the palace to clean all the halls in the palace."

"Here."
