Chapter 956 Internal affairs

After Wang Ding returned to the palace, no other news came to Jingyang, and it seemed that Li Shimin was unwilling to take care of Duan Lun and Shangguanyi.

Li Shimin seemed unable to hear the names of these two people. No matter how others mentioned it, His Majesty kept silent.

Or if it is postponed, it will be spring soon, and the imperial examination will be held in the next year, and gradually not many people will discuss this matter.

Gradually, those scholars and scholars began not to talk about this matter. As long as Duan Lun and Shangguanyi stopped entering official careers, the discussions among scholars would be much smaller.

Li Chongyi and Di Renjie sat together at the gate of Jingzhao Mansion and watched the pedestrians coming and going.

Watching people coming and going, Li Chongyi said to Di Renjie: "What is Li Zheng doing now?"

Di Renjie put his legs on the steps, which made him feel more comfortable. "This is the most comfortable time for the sun. Presumably the teacher is basking in the sun comfortably."

Li Chongyi said in a low voice: "Li Zheng is still comfortable. There are so many ups and downs in Chang'an, it seems that they have nothing to do with Li Zheng."

Di Renjie knew that Li Chongyi's words were referring to Duan Lun and Shangguanyi.

"Actually, the actions of Duan Lun and Shangguanyi can only be said to be tough. They don't mean killing people, let alone harming the lives of innocent people."

"Except they bombed a city." Li Chongyi added.

Di Renjie smiled helplessly, "Now that the court has taken over the matter, Shangguanyi and Duan Lun have neither rewarded nor punished, but His Majesty just ignores it."

Li Chongyi glanced at Di Renjie.

Di Renjie asked curiously, "Why is Brother Chongyi looking at me like that?"

Li Chongyi said suspiciously: "I don't think you should help me in Jingzhao Mansion."

Di Renjie asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

Li Chongyi pointed to the Dali Temple in the distance and said, "I think Dali Temple is more suitable for displaying your abilities."

Di Renjie glanced at Dali Temple and said, "I'd better go to Jingyang to study."

Li Chongyi said in a low voice: "You can't just stay in Jingyang like this forever."

Di Renjie stood up and loosened his muscles, "I don't think I can learn much in Dali Temple."

Spring is coming soon, and the village has begun to get busy.

Li Tai, Cheng Chumo and Li Zheng each had a deck chair, lying on the edge of the field enjoying the warm sunshine.

Li Tai breathed in the fresh air and said, "Now I am the only one who is not married yet."

Li Zheng said in a low voice, "Where's your friend in Chang'an?"

Li Tai let out a long sigh, "I can't hold it."

Cheng Chumo touched the stubble of his chin and said, "His Royal Highness, if you want me to say that a man should be more decisive, don't hesitate."

Li Tai looked at Cheng Chumo with distaste, "I'm not like you, I'm a killer! Who doesn't know that you're still honest in front of your wife when you return home after being majestic outside."

Cheng Chumo smiled embarrassingly without denying it, and said: "Yesterday, after consultation with Dr. Sun, my wife is pregnant again."

After speaking, Cheng Chu looked at Li Zheng silently, saw that Li Zheng was looking at a large drawing and said, "I said you and Princess Changle should also hurry up."

Li Tai said with a smile: "Chu Mo, I asked Dr. Sun about this matter, and Dr. Sun also said that it is too dangerous for girls to give birth to children at a young age. He still advocates that girls should take care of their bodies first." Well, it’s not too late to have a baby, now Li Zhi is only 20 years old, and Li Zheng is only in his early twenties.”

Cheng Chumo asked doubtfully, "Really?"

Li Tai nodded, "Miraculous Doctor Sun really said so, don't worry about this kind of thing, we are still young."

Cheng Chu nodded thoughtfully, as if he had realized something.

Seeing that Li Zheng didn't answer, he asked curiously, "Li Zheng, what are you looking at?"

Li Zheng was still looking at the blueprint in his hand.

Cheng Chumo said impatiently: "Is this kid still thinking about making money?"

Li Tai said with a smile: "Back then he said he wanted to retire at the age of 30, so don't hurry up and earn money."

Li Zheng put away the blueprint in his hand, "I'm looking at the blueprint and want to build another road."

Li Tai asked curiously, "Do you want to build roads?"

Li Zheng nodded and said: "Infrastructure construction is the foundation of economic development. If you want to get rich, you must first build roads. Only when the roads are repaired can you transport them more efficiently. With transportation, you will have the circulation of goods. With the circulation of goods, you will be able to move." There’s money coming and going, so the economy starts to flow.”

Li Tai thought about Li Zheng's words and said, "Your statement is indeed true. Since you have repaired the road, it is obvious that there are more merchants in Chang'an, and more goods entering Chang'an."

Li Zheng was thinking that the second batch of silver mines over there should be arriving soon.

With the silver mines in Tubo, there will be a steady stream of silver cakes entering Jingyang.

In the past two years, although the business in Jingyang was good, the money needed to build a road was more than tens of thousands of guan.

Even though the turnover of the business is huge, it would be a nerve-wracking effort for Jingyang to spend tens of thousands of guan at once.

With the silver mines in Tubo, it will be much easier.

There are several other silver mines in my hands, including several of the four largest silver mines in the world that have not been mined yet, but they are on the other side of the sea, which is still too far away now.

Li Tai said again: "However, there are more people in Jingyang Fang City. Many people in Chang'an go to Fang City in Jingyang to buy things. The biggest advantage is that the road is repaired in Jingyang."

Cheng Chumo said with a smile: "Everyone has been hanging out together for so long, you still don't know what Li Zheng is thinking?"

Li Tai nodded and said, "That's right."

Glancing at Li Tai, Li Zheng said: "It's a bit strange today. It stands to reason that His Royal Highness is in charge of such a mess of the five surnames, yet His Royal Highness King Wei doesn't even mention a word to the Crown Prince."

Li Tai sneered and said: "The five surnames are not easy to handle. If Li Chengqian does it well, it's okay. If it's not done well, others will be cold-eyed and father will be harsh."

Li Zheng nodded slightly, "For His Royal Highness King Wei, it's better to wait and see what happens. Rather than intervene, it's better to watch Li Chengqian do things. Everyone is happy when things are done. If things go wrong, it's Li Chengqian who is not the King of Wei. His Royal Highness Wei Wang will remain the same." Responding to all kinds of changes is really wonderful.”

As soon as he talked about the prince, Cheng Chumo closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep. In fact, Cheng Chumo would snore when he fell asleep. When he was not snoring, he was pretending to be asleep.

This is also related to Cheng Yaojin's teaching, the Cheng family can be friendly with the prince, but they can't get involved in the royal family affairs.

Cheng Chumo knew this very well.

Li Zheng looked at the blue sky and said, "Now the northwestern frontier crisis has been lifted for the time being, except that your father's desire to conquer Goguryeo is our own internal matter."

Li Tai sat up from the recliner and said, "What do you think?"

Li Zheng looked at Li Tai, "I don't care, it's a good day to count money every day and get hand cramps."
