Prosperous Tang Soul

Chapter 193

"No!" The eldest grandson immediately denied Zhang Yi's statement, straightened up and stared at Zhang Yi and said, "If all young and strong are used, what about the other women and children? Could it be that CD starved to death?"

It could be seen that she seemed very angry, and even expressed her dissatisfaction without any concealment.

In her opinion, Zhang Yi has obviously touched her bottom line by doing so, and of course it also touched the bottom line of Guochao. It is a taboo to give up women and children if you only consider young and strong labor for the purpose of employing people.

Whether as a queen or as a woman, she must stand up and reprimand Zhang Yi.

"Your Majesty, you may have misunderstood what I mean!" Zhang Yi hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I said that women, children, and the elderly can get free porridge from the court. Although it is a little weak, it is definitely enough for them to survive .

Think about it, in fact, the vast majority of people who can walk to Chang'an can work except for a few reasons of illness.Young and strong can tamp earth and lay stones, but women and children can also clean up and so on. In short, they have things to do, but the food or copper coins distributed are a little different because of the division of labor! "

Li Er no longer had time to listen to Zhang Yi's explanation, and the explanation was of no use to him.

They are all smart people, and everyone understands the basics. It is nothing more than a way to use labor to the extreme. Therefore, after understanding what Zhang Yi meant, he was immediately ready to kick people out.

"It's similar to my idea, but it's still a little immature. I'll discuss it with all the veterans before making a decision! But." Li Er thought for a while, then stared at Zhang Yi and said, "I can let the past go without blame for the matter in Jingyang. But Lu Yuanlang's matter can't let you off lightly! After you go back, think behind closed doors for three months, how about a fine of five hundred catties of copper?"

A fine of five hundred catties of copper?Think behind closed doors?

Zhang Yi was immediately overjoyed!
Five hundred catties of copper coins is only three or four hundred guan. This amount of money is not taken seriously by Uncle Zhang today. Doesn't it mean that he doesn't have to go to the palace to go to school if he thinks about his mistakes behind closed doors?

Thinking about it, old Li Gang had clearly stated that he would not cause trouble for himself, and Lu Yuen Long, who was finally managed by them, has not yet woken up, so naturally there is no good teacher to teach him.

Having figured this out, Zhang Yi immediately took out the gold medal from his arms, and held it in front of Li Er with both hands.

"Your Majesty! This is the gold medal you gave me to enter and leave the palace! I think about it, I'd better return it to Your Majesty!"

Zhang Yi's meaning is very clear, returning the gold medal is naturally resigning from the prince's errand as a companion. Although he has a little communication with Li Chengqian now, it is better to stay away from him.

Once this job is gone, even if Li Chengqian really rebels in the future, he won't be implicated.

"Since I gave it to you, let's put it on your body!" Li Er frowned, and said lightly: "Anyway, you will be taught by the queen in the future, and it will be more convenient for you to enter and leave the palace gate in the future!"

Zhang Yi was taken aback, and almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Unexpectedly, unexpectedly!

He tried every means to escape from the clutches of the two of them, but he went around and got into the hands of the eldest grandson.

Seeing Zhang Yi's gloomy expression, Li Er was in a good mood, stood up and walked away.

"What's the matter? Are you still unwilling to let me teach you?" As soon as Li Er left, the eldest grandson took over the conversation in an instant.

Zhang Yi couldn't help smiling wryly, and tangled up, "Mother, what is there to be reluctant about, but as the old saying goes, there is a difference between men and women, I have already turned 15 years old in the beginning of spring today, and I can be regarded as a man who can set up a family in the countryside." .”

As he said that, Zhang Yi carefully looked at the eldest grandson who showed a half-smile towards him, and continued: "And the palace is full of your majesty's concubines, maids and so on. It's inappropriate for the ministers to come and go!"

"Nonsense!" The eldest grandson raised his hand, and was about to slap Zhang Yi on the forehead, but stopped when he raised his hand in the air, and said with a smile, "You know the difference between a man and a woman before you're even an adult? Tell you, Not only you, but all honorable children under the age of 16 are under the jurisdiction of this palace! As for you, if you like that maid, I can give it to you at the discretion of this palace!"

Li Er's court lady, give it to herself?

For the so-called kindness of the eldest grandson, Zhang Yi felt that he did not have the blessing to enjoy it, and it would be strange if nothing serious happened.

But having said that, as the saying goes, courtesy is reciprocal, although sending the maid to the court may be just a joke made by the eldest grandson, but Zhang Yi still heard something from this sentence.

You must know that the eldest grandson is not a truly generous person. As the saying goes in later generations, the real cruelty is to be cruel to yourself!In order to save some money for the great His Majesty Li Er, her old man kept reducing the cost of the harem, and now the long skirt is still floating on her feet, no wonder she is generous.

No need to ask, it's exactly the same as what she thought at the gate of Ganlu Hall just now, if she didn't have any bad ideas in Zhangjiazhuang, he wouldn't believe Zhang Yi killed him.

"The little minister thanked the empress for her kindness, but the little minister is not yet of age, so let's forget about the maid!"

As long as you dare to reach out, maybe your grandson will really dare to deliver food, but the price of delivering it is probably a bit high. Although I have always yearned for a life of hugging left and right, after thinking about it, I still forget it.

According to the taste of the eldest grandson, a court lady can sell her for a sky-high price. It is estimated that the little copper coins in the Earl's Mansion will be emptied, and it will be enough.

"Since you are not an adult, don't think about those miscellaneous things!" The eldest grandson glanced at Zhang Yi casually, and then asked a court lady next to him: "By the way, I heard that a few days ago there was an interesting event in Zhangjiazhuang. It is said that Shi Neng pumps water from the river directly to the shore, do you remember what it is called?"

The palace maid obviously had already been told by her eldest grandson, and hurriedly replied: "Returning to your mother, it seems to be called a water wheel. I heard that the slaves are amazing! Not only can they pump water to irrigate the farmland, but they can also help people pull the mill!"

Zhang Yi's face turned blue.

He also said that a few days ago, this was simply a scam.

A few days ago, Zhang Yi was still in Zhuangzi!
Besides, there was no outsider in Zhangjiazhuang during that time, even with a pig's head, this news must have been discovered by those spies when they heard Zhangjiazhuang recruiting disaster victims to work, and it was only in these two days.

Unfortunately, the eldest grandson pretends to be so resembling, just like the real thing!
But Zhang Yi knew it clearly in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it.

Wouldn't it be slapping the eldest grandson in the face if he said it out?
"Ma'am, I'm really sorry, I was just about to present the blueprint of the waterwheel to His Majesty." Zhang Yi immediately understood, he had already made a request, if he pretended not to know anything, it would be boring .

"Oh? Really?" The eldest grandson's smile immediately became more kind, and he said to Zhang Yi with a smile: "Since you have such a heart, I will reluctantly accept it for your majesty!"
