Chapter 29
Jingyang City is not big, at least in Li Chengqian's view, it is really small.

In later generations, even a slightly larger town would have more reputation than this Jingyang City.

However, although the sparrow is small, it has all internal organs.

"Brother, what is that?" On the street, Changle held Li Chengqian with one hand, and bit his own mouth with the other. Seeing that, it was obvious that he was greedy.

Li Chengqian smiled, and said: "I got the elder brother to cook something delicious for you, we don't want that."

He also didn't know what the woman was doing, and it wasn't that he didn't believe in the woman's craftsmanship. The key point was that the woman's black hands immediately made him lose his appetite.

The sanitation conditions these days, even for wealthy families, are vastly different from those of later generations.

It's not that he's hypocritical, the point is that getting sick these days, no matter how small the problem is, may kill someone.

After all, the medical conditions of the Tang Dynasty were not comparable to those of later generations.

Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Changle's small mouth suddenly pouted, with an unhappy expression on his face.

Originally, she was very happy to go to the street with her eldest brother today, but she had never experienced such an experience before, and she saw all kinds of novel things when she went out, which also made her forget the sorrow of leaving home.

As a result, as soon as I opened my mouth, my elder brother refused, which made Chang Le feel so unhappy that tears almost came out of his eyes.

Seeing her like this, Li Chengqian took her hand and said softly: "It's not that the eldest brother didn't buy it for you, look at that aunt's hand, it's black, can you eat it safely?"

Born in the royal family, after all, he is more decent than the people in the market. When Chang Le glanced at the woman's hand again, he immediately shook his head, but at the same time, he looked at it twice more regretfully.

"Your Highness is honorable, so naturally he doesn't look down on this street person, but Your Highness knows, why is this street person willing to do this, if it is not forced by life, who would be willing to engage in such a cheap job?

If the country is prosperous, the weather is good, the weather is good, you can hide your shame even if you have an inch of hair, and the family has enough food to eat, how many people are willing to bend their waists for those five buckets of rice? "

While Li Chengqian's brother and sister were chatting, a voice came from their left side. While speaking, the person had already come to Li Chengqian and bowed to each other.

Zhao Yan, who was guarding behind Li Chengqian, walked to Li Chengqian's side when he heard the sound, and said in a low voice, "This man is Cui Mingyuan, the county magistrate of Jingyang."

While talking, he and the other two protected Li Chengqian and his sister in the middle.

Li Chengqian was no stranger to this person, at least in their discussion last night, this person's name was mentioned repeatedly.

It's just that he didn't expect that it would be in such an environment that he would meet Jingyang's parent officer. Hearing this, he let go of Changle's hand, and then he cupped his hands and said, "I would like to be taught."

He was very humble.

But the more humble he was, the more confused Cui Mingyuan became.

Judging from the news from Chang'an yesterday, their highness, the crown prince, has a wild and rebellious personality, and often makes shocking remarks.

Such a person, shouldn't he be so humble?
Although he didn't like Cui Hao, he recognized Cui Hao's ability.

If not, how could Cui Hao rewrite [-]% of the fertile land under the name of the Cui family under his nose?
And even Cui Hao finds it difficult to deal with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, is he really such a humble person?
For a moment, he was a little dazed.

"Does the county magistrate think that I am different from the rumors?" Seeing that Cui Mingyuan was silent, Li Chengqian asked with a smile.

Cui Mingyuan recovered, nodded, and said, "It's really different."

He has the habit of wandering around the city or outside the city every day, mainly to better understand the lives of ordinary people. In any case, he is a pragmatic official.

The same is true today.

In fact, he had discovered Li Chengqian and his party early in the morning, but he never wanted to have anything to do with him. It was only after Li Chengqian said that that he couldn't help but open his mouth.

As for how he, a junior official of the seventh rank, knows how to be the crown prince, it is beyond the understanding of outsiders.

"It's nothing different." Li Chengqian took Changle's hand again and said, "If the county magistrate is as aggressive as others, he will naturally find that I am no different from the rumors."

Li Chengqian is very clear that he can be rebellious or arrogant, but there must be a reason for all of this, which is very important.

Cui Mingyuan nodded. He was born in the royal family, and he was the current prince. Even if he was only ten years old, he couldn't really treat him as a child.

"It's really better to be famous than to meet, Your Highness..."

Before Cui Mingyuan finished speaking, Li Chengqian interrupted: "Don't call me Your Highness anymore. When I step out of Taiji Palace and Chang'an City, I will no longer be Your Highness. Allow me to introduce myself. My surname is Li. My name is Qianqian, my character is brilliant, the county magistrate calls me brilliant."

He didn't think about changing his name or anything, it's not like he said nonsense like changing his name or changing his surname, but he knew very well that this name could save lives at critical times.

"Master, you are joking." Of course Cui Mingyuan would not call him Gaoming. He is a standard Confucian scholar, and Confucian etiquette such as superiority and inferiority is very important to him. Great Tang Prince."

"Don't talk about that." Li Chengqian didn't want to entangle with him on this issue, and said, "I don't know if the county magistrate is looking for me today, but what advice do you have?"

Cui Mingyuan was a little embarrassed. He just opened his mouth after seeing Li Chengqian's disdain for ordinary people's means of making a living.But if you really want to say that you are looking for him, this is pure nonsense.

For him, as long as Li Chengqian passed through Jingyang City, as long as there was no trouble under his rule, he had the right to ignore it.

He neither wanted to get involved in the disputes in the upper court, nor did he want to damage the interests of Jingyang people because of Li Chengqian.

In his eyes, there is only this small Jingyang City.

But at this moment, when Li Chengqian asked such a question, he couldn't answer that way. After pondering for a moment, Cui Mingyuan said: "Young Master's heart is not as good as mine. But since he was a child, he has rich clothes and good food, and he is very good at the means of earning a living for the low-level people." misunderstood."

Hearing what he said, Li Chengqian smiled.

He didn't know about Cui Mingyuan, but Zhao Yan and others also inquired about him in the city yesterday. Among other things, Cui Mingyuan's official reputation was very good, and the common people were very convinced of him.

Regardless of whether he is from the Cui family or not, at least based on this point, it is worth Li Chengqian's admiration for him.

In fact, Li Chengqian still had some misunderstandings about the gentry in the Tang Dynasty, especially in the early Tang Dynasty. Maybe it was because he had read too many novels. Anyway, in the novels he had read before, few of these gentry were good.

But I have to admit that among the scholars in this era, there are really few villains and villains.

"The county magistrate is right. I have grown up with rich clothes and good food, and I have never experienced the hardships of ordinary people at the bottom. I really shouldn't talk nonsense."

Li Chengqian's posture was very low, and Cui Mingyuan nodded frequently. Scholars have a bad habit of hoping that their preaching can be accepted by the parties sincerely.

From this point alone, Cui Mingyuan felt that the prince was not bad, he could listen to people's persuasion, and maybe he behaved wildly at times, but it was just a child's heart.

But just when he thought so, Li Chengqian changed his voice and said, "But if the magistrate thinks that what I just said just made me despise that woman because of her lowly business, then you will be wronged boy gone."

After finishing speaking, Li Chengqian looked at Cui Mingyuan with a smile.

Cui Mingyuan was obviously surprised. Although Li Chengqian's tone was calm, the meaning revealed in his words was not peaceful at all.

"What do you mean by this son?"
