The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2245 Teachers and students meet again

"Oh? Why?" Li Jue asked.

Although he didn't know what this had to do with planting trees by the Yellow River, Li Jue really wanted to know the answer, because he felt that his teacher always did things for a reason.

"When we were working together in the past two days, my father-in-law really mentioned that there were so many people, so many houses, and such beautiful concrete roads in Zhuangzi more than 30 years ago. They are all paved with crushed stones. There were no water storage lakes or canals in the past. Even if it rains heavily, the water will go to the lower places, and the water that does not seep into the land will flow to other places along the low terrain. Then they are collected into the river and finally into the sea. However, in the past 30 years, there have been so many people, so many roads, and so many houses on Zhuangzi. The original good terrain has been abruptly changed. Many, plus the canals have been in disrepair for a long time, so naturally, there are so many troubles, if it is not for this heavy rain, the father-in-law would not know that there is such a big problem with the canals on the village."

"Then there hasn't been such a situation in previous years?" Li Jue asked.

"Of course there are, but I just heard from people in the house that this situation happened in previous years, so I started to clean up the canal, but where did the money come from? That canal was originally built by the Xuan family for the village households in the village. It is not under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, so the imperial court will not pay to help clean it up. In the end, this matter still fell on the Xuan family. Originally, this year's summer, after a few days of work, the water in the canal will be less. It's good to start work, who knows that today is a good year, and this summer, God has given such a face, and there has been such a heavy rain, and the canals have not had time to repair." Gao Jun said.

"So that's the case, but there is a problem with the canal on Zhuangzi, what does it have to do with the teacher wanting to get this kind of tree?" Li Jue asked.

What he asked just now should be about planting trees, right?
"Grandpa, when he saw the situation on Zhuangzi, he thought of the Yellow River." Gao Jun said: "When we were planting trees on the mountain these two days, Grandpa mentioned to us that a new palace was built on Longshouyuan. The wood used was all selected from various places in the Tang Dynasty and transported to Chang’an City. However, a lot of trees were cut down in Guanzhong. This is on the edge of the Yellow River. The silt on the ground will be carried into the Yellow River by the current, and if things go on like this, what will it look like after more than ten years, decades, or even hundreds of years?" Gao Jun said with a smile, and then continued: "Grandpa I understand [-]% to [-]% of the truth, but I can't fully understand it, but we servants, what the master does, we just need to stay by the master's side honestly, and we don't need to understand too much."

Although what Li Jue heard was cloudy, Li Jue was able to tell from Gao Jun's words that his teacher had set his sights on a hundred years later. Trees are also a good thing.

There were so many people in the yard, and there was such a big commotion, Chang Le also woke up from his sleep, but he didn't come out when he heard Gao Jun chatting with someone outside, but once he woke up, he fell asleep. Failing to sleep, after tossing and turning on the bed for a while, he simply got up and came out.

As soon as he came out, he naturally saw people all over the yard, as well as Li Jue sitting on a stool in the yard.

"Little Chang Le, see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Chang Le woke up suddenly, and hurriedly cupped his hands in salute.

"No need to be polite." Li Jue raised his hand with a smile when he saw Chang Le.

The three of them chatted, and the courtyard became even more lively. Under such circumstances, how could Xuan Shijing, who lives in the north room, not hear the movement? However, after careful identification, Xuan Shijing recognized Li Jue's voice. Therefore, even after waking up, he did not go out to see Li Jue immediately, but stayed in the room and listened carefully to what Li Jue was talking to Chang Le and Gao Jun outside.

Xuan Shijing knew that the imperial court would send someone to see him, but he did not expect that His Majesty would let the crown prince pass.

But think about it, after all, the crown prince is his student, coupled with His Majesty's thoughts, such and such, it is normal to send the crown prince here.

Di Renjie is still in the cell. I don't know if the prince has been to the cell in Dali Temple. This is a good opportunity.

Isn't that why His Majesty treats Di Renjie like this?

Some things, after calming down, Xuan Shijing thought very clearly, but he kept it in his heart and no one could say it.

Now, Xuan Shijing has already figured out the ins and outs of this matter. It is not because of Xuan Shijing's long-term cleverness. It can only be said that these methods are just common methods used by the emperor's family to pay attention to balance. , let the prince establish prestige, attract talents, and what kind of people are useful, His Majesty knows very well in his heart.

Therefore, this is a big game of chess. Even though Xuan Shijing has seen the situation clearly, he is still in the game, a pawn in the game.

The time was almost exhausted, and Xuan Shijing also knew that it was impossible to consume people away, so he simply went out. His original intention was not to avoid seeing Li Jue all the time.

He didn't do anything wrong, so there was nothing to be afraid of. The reason why he didn't go out at first was because he wanted to observe Li Jue.

Regarding the father and son Li Chengqian and Li Jue, his mood now is a bit complicated.

"Hey, this yard is quite lively." Xuan Shijing slowly came out of the north room, walked up to Li Jue, and bowed his hands together: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Teacher, you don't need to be too polite." Li Jue quickly stood up and went to support Xuan Shijing: "The student also came to see the teacher by the order of his father."

"I don't know what orders His Majesty has." Xuan Shijing asked.

Xuan Shijing asked such a question, and the alienation in his tone was clearly audible. Unlike before at Zhuangzi in Dongshan County, he treated Li Jue as amiably as his own younger generation. Now it seems that he is really a king, a minister. It's the minister.

This kind of feeling made Li Jue very uncomfortable, because he also learned the whole thing from his father, that it was something out of thin air that Lai Junchen impeached his teacher, but now, everything is not the same as before same.

How he feels in his heart, he can't mention it to outsiders. After all, he is still the crown prince, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and the future emperor. Whatever he thinks and does, he must learn from his father and obey him. Even in the face of his own teacher, he still has to put the Li family's country first.
