People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 573 Li Lizhi asks the emperor for an account
Li Tai also said, "Isn't this great?"

Li Chongyi heaved a long sigh, "I want to resign, but Li Zheng wants me to come to your Jingyang."

Li Zheng said with a wry smile: "Brother Chongyi, look at me, Jingyang has nothing to do recently, but the land in Gaoling has just been taken over, so it must be quite busy there."

Li Chongyi nodded, "Very well, then I can advise His Majesty and resign!"

According to Li Xiaogong's idea, the less Li Chongyi exists, the better.

Chang'an is a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, even if you keep your own place, you will inevitably be bitten by a bastard.

Li Chongyi's idea of ​​resigning from office, Li Shimin probably would not agree.

Li Xiaogong was originally a member of the clan and the king of Hejian County.

Would Li Shimin not know what Li Xiaogong was thinking?

In the evening, after Li Tai and Li Chongyi took a nap, they left in a dispirited mood.

Li Yifu came with Wang Xiancheng and talked about the current situation of Gaoling villagers' resettlement.

Wang Xiancheng said in a low voice: "There are still many people who are unwilling to leave Gaoling, who would like to leave the place where they were born and raised."

Li Zheng glanced at Li Yifu.

Li Yifu said in a low voice: "Most people are still willing to move to Jingyang, and some people are unwilling to leave."

Li Zheng said: "In the next two years, we will cover all the tax burdens of Gaoling in Jingyang."

"Packed?"

After confirming that he hadn't heard of it, Wang Xiancheng said, "That's a tax for thousands of people."

Li Zheng said: "Li Yifu, you can handle the rest of the matter."

Li Yifu nodded.

Wang Xiancheng said: "Chang'an Ling, don't worry, if those untouchables don't understand the rules anymore, I will help Chang'an Ling teach them a lesson."

Li Zheng nodded and said: "Cheng Wang, do you know what is the most important thing in life?"

Wang Xiancheng looked up at Li Zheng in doubt.

Li Zheng patted Wang Xiancheng on the shoulder and said: "The most important thing to be a human being is conscience. Speaking of generations, who doesn't farm with their faces facing the loess and their backs facing the sky?"

Hearing this, Wang Xiancheng looked at Li Zheng and Li Yifu with some trepidation.

Li Zheng said to Wang Xiancheng again: "I hope that the villagers in Gaoling can willingly follow me to get rid of poverty and become rich. If they are unwilling to move, I will not force them. If they are willing to move, I can give them more preferential treatment. Everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, and you teach those villagers for me? I can’t even figure out whether you are helping me or adding trouble to me.”

Wang Xiancheng lowered his head, "The lower official made a slip of the tongue, I hope Chang'an Order will not be offended."

Li Zheng said to Li Yifu: "You will continue to resettle the villagers tomorrow morning, and promise that the villagers who come to Jingyang can give him the property that needs to be resettled at home. Jingyang has ready-made houses. By the way, how is Wang Xiancheng doing as an official? .”

Li Yifu nodded.

Wang Xiancheng stood there with ashes on his face.

Li Zheng said to Wang Xiancheng again: "The frontier army is short of people, I can arrange you to go to the border."

Wang Xiancheng looked nervous, "Chang'an Ling, since I became the county magistrate, I have never dared to neglect, Chang'an Ling, please listen to my explanation."

Li Zheng said in a low voice: "If I get rid of you, I can win the hearts of the villagers in Gaoling, so why not?"

"This……"

Li Zheng said to Dahu: "Dahu, let's see off the guests."

Dumb left with this Wang Xiancheng.

After the people left, Li Yifu said: "Chang'an Ling, the reputation of this county magistrate in Gaoling is indeed not very good."

"I see, I will ask Xu Jingzong to arrange him when the time comes."

"Here, let's go back and prepare for tomorrow's Gaoling."

Jingyang has monopolized Gaoling's taxes for two years, which means that the villagers of Gaoling will not have to pay taxes for two years.

Moreover, Jingyang is rich, these costs are not worth mentioning to Jingyang.

There is so much grain in Jingyang that it is too much to feed poultry.

On the second day, Li Yi's mansion was busy for a long time and finally settled some villagers who were unwilling to move before.

Li Zheng listened to Li Yifu's report and looked at the land of Gaoling.

In fact, the tenants farming are very simple, and they don't want much.

Li Yifu said in a low voice: "This is the villagers of Gaoling listing the bad deeds of this Wang Xiancheng. Although he is not too much, but he does not let go of some petty gains on weekdays. He also does some small things. Procrastination is not a good official."

Li Zheng said to Li Yifu in a low voice: "Let Xu Jingzong make arrangements for us to go to the border army to scout for information."

Li Yifu nodded, "Understood."

The land has been vacated, and now the reclamation can begin.

According to the conception, most of the fields in Gaoling are used for farming.

The place where the villagers of Gaoling used to live will also be demolished and used for farming.

Li Zheng drew on the drawings that the entire Gaoling can be divided into three parts, and the land bordering Gaoling and Jingyang is used to build an academy.

A piece of land in the future can be used to expand the farm.

The remaining fields can be used for farming.

Li Yifu took over Li Zheng's blueprint and carefully calculated it in his mind. After putting it in this way, the arable area of ​​Gaoling was actually more than before.

The place near the Weishui River to the south of Gaoling is a paddy field, which is the best place for growing grain.

The land north of Gaoling was originally a wasteland because it was far away from the waterway.

It is not difficult to irrigate as long as a canal is dug in the Central Plains. Besides, it can be said that crops such as potatoes and sweet potatoes do not choose land.

The old village head led the villagers to work in a hurry.

Villagers in Jingyang are very enthusiastic about reclamation.

Li Shimin was taking a walk in the village when he saw a group of villagers in Gaoling in the distance reclaiming wasteland.

It's just a few more glances. Although it is a good thing to open up wasteland, Li Zheng has been given two months, and there is still no news about the printing house.

I really wonder if this kid forgot about the book printing house.

Arriving at Li Zheng's home, Li Shimin watched the little Sizi playing with building blocks.

After receiving the tea brought by Li Lizhi, Li Shimin said, "Lizhi, do you think Li Zheng didn't take my orders to heart at all?"

Li Lizhi looked at her father with melancholy eyes while holding a ledger.

Noticing Li Lizhi's expression, Li Shimin asked, "What's wrong?"

Li Lizhi put the ledger on the table and said, "Father, my daughter has been checking Jingyang's ledger recently."

Li Shimin took a sip of tea and said, "Has Li Zheng always asked you to do these things?"

Li Lizhi pushed the account book in front of Li Shimin and said, "Father, my daughter recently checked the accounts and found that father and Li Zheng had a sale of fine salt, but the money for fine salt has never been delivered."

Li Shimin cleared his throat, just about to explain something.

Li Lizhi added: "Also, Li Zheng has not been given a salary by the court for so many years from the Jingyang order to the current Chang'an order. The total salary owed to Li Zheng by the court is 340 taels."
