Chapter 134 The Emperor Seems to Know Everything
Yunchu picked up the bamboo on the ground, inserted it back into the soil, stomped on it, and said to Li Zhi, "We don't have much money now, and the money in Wannian County's treasury is of great use. To a small Jinchang Square.

However, the houses in Jinchangfang are too dilapidated, which really affects the view. As a last resort, Weichen planted bamboos by the side of the canal, hoping to cover the withering with elegance, so that it can be postponed for some time, and let Weichen raise some more money and food. Renovate all the dilapidated houses in Jinchangfang. "

Li Zhi looked at the densely packed residential houses on both sides of the street, shook his head and said, "The cost is not low."

Yun Chu cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, if the value of the house soars ten times after the new house is built, the people will naturally do their best to build the old house into a new house. The officials in the Lifang only need to arrange the street layout. Design the appearance of the house, so that without spending a penny from the court, the minister can renovate all the houses in Jinchangfang.

In this way, the common people benefit, and the court also gains face. "

Li Zhi looked at Yun Chu and said, "Since there is no need for the court to spend a penny, why do you still need to raise money and food?"

"Your Majesty, in such a beautiful city, there needs to be inns, restaurants, food stores, tinkerers, and other things related to people's livelihood. I think these things should be funded by Lifang. Then, these The house is also owned by Lifang, as long as it is rented out, there will be a lot of income.

In this way, Lifang will be able to employ common people as workers, and His Majesty will have the current pure water source, clean ground, complete roads, and various landscapes within His Majesty's sight. "

Li Zhi looked back at Wu Mei and said: "There are no such things in Li Yifu's memorial. It seems that he is a cat and doesn't know everything."

Wu Mei smiled and said: "It's better to see it with your own eyes than to listen to it a hundred times. The world is like chess. Some people can see it for one step, and some can see it for three steps. I have heard it from myself. Those with great wisdom can see it a hundred steps away. There are even more people who can see it." Just entering the game of chess, you know life and death, Your Majesty has all the talents in the world, so you should know that this concubine's words are true."

Li Zhi glanced at Yun Chu, and said without hesitation: "Is he worthy of being compared with those great talents?"

Hearing this, Yun Chu could only bark his white teeth and giggle awkwardly.

The great talent Li Zhi was talking about was either the deceased Li Jing, or the still living Li Ji, or his annoying uncle Changsun Wuji. Compared with these people, he was really nothing.

It's just that Wu Mei always looked at him vaguely, that fat kid actually reached out to grab his clothes...

When Yunchu decorated Jinchangfang, he basically decorated it according to his own courtyard. Therefore, through the fan-shaped wall window, you can see a pear tree in full bloom, or a branch of red peach growing from the blue brick wall. Stretch it out, it's at the top of your head, and you can reach it with your hand.

Li Zhi was really cheap, taking advantage of his height, he naturally broke off the well-bloomed red peach blossom, and handed it to the eunuch Duanhong, who would put it in a vase and present it to his mother later.

The silk of the weeping willow brushes across the water and dances constantly, which is full of spirituality.

Li Zhi cut off a strand of willow silk with a knife and prepared to dedicate it to his mother to express his grief for parting.

Yun Chu looked at the willow silk that was cut like a dog by Li Zhi, his face twitched slightly, and looked at the strong golden armored warrior behind him, he didn't dare to have any objections, because this warrior weighed at least three hundred catties Bar?
Just when Li Zhi was about to fish for small fish in the rockery pool, Wu Mei coughed and said, "Your Majesty, you know that this small pool also has a story."

Li Zhi stopped, looked at Wu Mei and said, "What allusion?"

Wu Mei looked at Yun Chu and said, "It was a young man who made wild words when Jinchang Fang was being built."

Li Zhi looked at Yun Chu who was dressed like a toad in a green official uniform and a black gauze on his head, and said calmly, "Let's hear it?"

"The clothes of the people in Jinchang Fang are shabby. A certain young man saw a rich gold store and wanted to blackmail him for thousands of pieces of clothes. The shopkeeper thought he wanted too much, so the young man wrote a poem to satirize him. The full text is as follows: If you are full of complaints, don’t be heartbroken, and you should look at the long-term scenery. Mo Dao Jinchang Canal is shallow, and watching fish is better than Peach Blossom River!"

When others listen to this poem, they will basically praise it as a "good poem".Li Zhi's observation point is different from other people's. After listening to a beautiful woman read a good poem, his attention is not on the poem at all, but on the copper coins.

"Have you got any good clothes for the people? How many have you got?"

Before Yunchu, the person concerned, could answer, Wu Mei covered her mouth and said with a smile: "I got it, [-] pieces, all of them are solid and good clothes, but there is a big word "Deshenglong" on the back."

After speaking, he and Li Zhi laughed together, while Yun Chu's face was full of black lines, and he couldn't find the point of the two people's laughter at all.

"Concubine... Concubine figured it out, six thousand pieces of clothes, five hundred pennies, and was cheated by this rascal, and he was earning the wages of making clothes... Hahahaha..."

The two of them couldn't stop laughing until they couldn't straighten their backs. However, the fat boy somehow got into Yunchu's arms. After stopping the fat boy from picking his nostrils, he actually wanted to I can't get up, how did this fat child get into my arms.

Obviously behind Wu Mei there are two bulging wet nurses, and behind Li Zhi stands a strong man taller than a giant bear. , are good candidates to hold the child, but the child is in his arms.

At the end of the street, Li Zhi was about to turn around, but was attracted by the white wall of the tall boss.

"What's that place?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, that is the shabby room where scholars live."

"A shabby room? A shabby room where you can drink a ladle and eat a basket of food, but don't change your enjoyment?"

The fat boy grabbed Yunchu's ears, preventing him from answering the emperor's question as the eunuch taught him, so he tilted his head in embarrassment and replied, "Exactly, there are more than five hundred scholars living here in the Imperial College. .”

"Go and have a look." Li Zhi raised his legs and left, scratching the ears and cheeks of the officials behind him anxiously, and went to look at the so-called shabby room. I am afraid that the time to pay homage to Empress Wende will soon pass.

Wu Mei is really a kind and considerate woman, she moved to the emperor's side and whispered: "It's time to burn incense for the mother."

Li Zhi shook his head, pointed to his heart and said to Wu Mei: "The heart fragrance for the mother has never been extinguished for a moment."

Wu Mei touched the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and said, "Your Majesty is benevolent and filial."

Li Zhi laughed and said, "I just never forgot my aunt, it has nothing to do with benevolence and filial piety."

After hearing Li Zhi's words, even the heartless Yun Chu couldn't help admiring from the bottom of his heart at this moment. It seems that only in the matter of missing his mother, Li Zhi really did his best. obligation.

Di Renjie didn't know when he was sitting in front of the window studying hard. At this time, the scenery in his shabby room was really wonderful.

The petals of a big pear tree are falling, and when the breeze blows, they will fall with the wind.

Some petals will fall on the ground, and some petals will be sent into the shabby room by the breeze, and fall on Di Renjie who is dressed in black.

Before, Yunchu had issued a notice from the government that no one who had nothing to do with him was allowed to leave the house.

Di Renjie did it, he didn't leave the house, he just opened the huge windows in his room.

A little beard on the upper lip has just formed, making this bastard not only mature, but also a little resolute.

Among the pear blossoms falling all over the sky, a tree of red plums is in full bloom in the wind, and the haughty figure just fits Di Renjie who is studying hard in the cold window at this time.

The emperor was naturally lured by him to the window, so he closed the book, revealing the four large characters on the cover—"Tang Law Shuyi".

"Who are you?" Li Zhi asked Di Renjie in a gentle tone after reading "Humble Room Inscription" and despised the writing on the white wall.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the student is Di Renjie, the son of Shi Di Zhixun, the governor of Kui Prefecture of the Tang Dynasty, and the imperial student."

"Di Zhixun?" Li Zhi murmured.

Immediately, Wai Lang, a member of the official department, came forward and said in a low voice: "Di Zhixun, the governor of Kuizhou, and a native of Taiyuan, Bingzhou, is a descendant of an official. .

Di Zhixun is the fifth son of Di Xiaoxu. It is said that he has "dragon and phoenix appearance" and "beautiful expression and hair". "

Li Zhi's expression softened after hearing the introduction from the official staff member Wailang, and then looked at Di Renjie.

Pointing to the red plums on the wall and the "Humble Room Inscription", said: "Is this all from your hands?"

Di Renjie shook his head and said, "The painting of red plums and proud snow was made by a student, and the "Humble Room Inscription" was written by Chang Yunchu in Jinchangfang."

Li Zhi glanced back at Yun Chu who was in a state of embarrassment being tossed by the fat boy again, and said, "The pictures are not bad, and the writing is also good. The writing still needs to work hard."

At this time, Wu Mei said again: "The second one in Li Yifu's memorial is the one who is going to practice the legalist art in Liquanfang, and this is the person."

Hearing this, Li Zhi immediately became interested, and asked, "How does Liquanfang compare to Jinchangfang now?"

Di Renjie cupped his hands and said, "It's better."

"Why not?"

"Legalism governs the people and strives to be domineering. The people obey the government's words because they are afraid of the law. Although they can prevent the people from going beyond the law, they lose some timeliness and calmness."

Li Zhi waved his hand and said: "This is inevitable. If there is a loss, there is a gain. This is the way of administration. If we continue, I will see."

Di Renjie stepped in and promised, "Wei."

Li Zhi looked up at the rising sun, sighed and said: "Go to Ci'en Temple, every time I come here, my heart will be sad."

The wet nurse took the fat child away from Yunchu's arms, and the fat child immediately burst into tears, and when the child entered Wu Mei's arms, the crying stopped immediately, but a pair of big black eyes kept looking at him. Yun Chu seemed very reluctant.
