Chapter 351: Diligence and Thrift

"It's naturally best to spend money, why don't you spend a little more?" Some people from the Lu family whispered.

The elders of the Lu family immediately shouted angrily: "Shut up, send more money to Li Zheng, this guy will only ask for more and more." ”

A group of Lu family disciples also immediately shut up.

The Cui family's mansion, the elders and juniors of the Cui family have become ants on the hot pot.

These days, the people of Chang'an are talking, and the discussion is getting worse and worse, and the prestige of the family with the five surnames is gone.

The children of the five surnames, including the elders of the five surnames, seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water on their heads, and they suddenly came to their senses.

"Maybe this Li Zheng did all this, and we fell for him!"

"Li Zheng is too hateful!"

"In the future, I must let Li Zheng fall into disrepute, and if this son doesn't die, we won't stop living."

Recently, I found that the people in the village are getting better.

It seems that even walking is a lot more generous.

Li Zheng watched the villagers' lives getting better and better, and the old village chief said in a low voice: "The hard days have passed, but now the people in the village are getting better and better. ”

The old village then said: "Just like in the old days, the children in our village ate two meals of one cake. ”

Sitting next to the old village chief, Li Zheng said: "Actually, it is just the extent that I have just eaten enough. ”

The old village smiled kindly when he saw the children playing in the village.

On the way back to the horse circle, Li was thinking about the words of the old village chief.

Now that life is good, I can forget the hard days of the past.

Li Zheng returned to the horse circle and wrote eight words, diligent and thrifty, and became rich.

Xu Jingzong walked over and was about to talk to Li Zheng about the sale of books, when he saw Li Zheng writing eight words.

Looking at the crooked handwriting, Xu Jingzong hesitated for a while and said: "The words of the horse are really ......."

"It's really bad, isn't it?" Li Zheng said with a sigh.

Xu Jingzong smiled embarrassedly, "It's unique, it's very special." ”

"Okay, less sycophant." Li Zheng wrote down eight words again, hard and simple, and friendly to people.

Xu Jingzong took a closer look and said, "Well written." ”

Li Zheng nodded, "You write these words into slogans and engrave them on the sign and hang them at the intersection of our village." ”

Xu Jingzong asked curiously, "That's it?" ”

"Yes, the words should be big, conspicuous, and preferably visible at a glance."

"Understood." Xu Jingzong nodded.

Hard and simple, diligent and thrifty......

Xu Jingzong looked at these eight words, and was a little shocked in his heart, Li Zheng is really still Li Zheng, even if he has a lot of money now.

With so much money, you still have to live by stubbornly.

lived in a small house next to the horse pen, and there was not a single servant in the family, and he was so poor that he didn't even want face.

How many people can be like Li Zheng these days.

Xu Jingzong looked up at the sky, and there were tears on his face.

Li Zheng sighed and said, "Why are you sad again. ”

Xu Jingzong's tone was a little choked and said: "I am moved, even if I am so rich, the horse is still so economical, and the villagers in the village are also saving, it is really ......."

Li Zheng: "It's too picky? ”

Xu Jingzong: "No, it's not a slamming door, it's a life." ”

After finishing speaking, Xu Jingzong found a few villagers to make more than 30 big wooden signs.

Each sign has a striking slogan written on it.

When a few villagers working in the fields saw this, they asked Li Daxiong, "What is written on this?" ”

Li Daxiong also glanced at the big wooden sign for a long time and said, "I can't read." ”

The middle-aged people in the village are basically illiterate.

Chang'an, the next day when the five surnames planned to buy Li Zheng.

Jingyang's new batch of secrets of the five surnamed families has not yet been printed, nor has it been sent to Chang'an.

The price of this book has been shouted higher and higher, and it has been shouted to 5,000 per book.

Early in the morning of this day, Dali Siqing Dai Guan's expression was very bad.

Many places in Chang'an have been robbed, and their homes have been turned into a mess, but their belongings have not been lost.

He even almost died.

A bookseller was almost killed, but fortunately he was rescued and did not let the thieves succeed.

The price of a book is shouted so expensive.

Naturally, there will be people with bad intentions.

The people of Dali Temple are even more suspicious that this matter is related to the five surnames, maybe the five surnames are in order to grab the book.

I don't want this book to be seen, and I don't even care about human life.

Dali Siqing Dai Zhou received Li Shimin's will and wanted to investigate it thoroughly.

Such a thing happened at the feet of the Son of Heaven, of course Li Shimin could not tolerate it, and the petty theft might be forgotten.

It can be related to human life, which is a challenge to the security of Chang'an City.

Li Shimin gave an order, and all the yamen of Chang'an's Wei Mansion became nervous.

Zhang Gongjin got into the carriage, left the hustle and bustle of Chang'an, and came to Jingyang again.

Now the strange thing is that this time I didn't need to report to Jingyang, and the guards here took the initiative to welcome themselves into the village.

The contrast between the front and back is a bit big.

Walking on the neat path, the biggest difference between Jingyang and Chang'an is that it is very clean.

Not long after walking into the village, Zhang Gongjin saw a big sign standing on the road.

Looking at the sign, he unconsciously read it out loud.

"Be diligent and thrifty, and get rich."

"Hard and simple, friendly to people."

Zhang Gongjin stopped, is he poor according to Li Zheng's current family background?

Obviously, Li Zheng's money is estimated to be too much to count, and it is said that this kid has not had a decent house so far.

There was not a single servant in the family, and even Li Zheng did what he ate.

Zhang Gongjin stopped a child in the village and asked, "Little doll, the old man has something to ask you." ”

Di Renjie stopped and looked at the middle-aged man, saluted politely and said, "This uncle, please speak." ”

Zhang Gongjin asked, "Is Li Zheng usually very economical?" ”

Di Renjie thought for a while and said, "That's not it, the teacher's money is all transported out in a truckload." ”

"A truckload of trucks out?"

Di Renjie nodded, "The teacher's money is always insufficient, it is said that the money will be spent when it arrives, and it will cost money everywhere." ”

"You are Li Zheng's disciple?"

Di Renjie looked at him and said, "Who are you?" ”

"Old man Zhang Gongjin."

"Zhang Gongjin, you are an acquaintance of the teacher, I have heard of you." Di Renjie, who had just reached the age of ten, said.

Zhang Gongjin smiled awkwardly, "Where did Li Zheng spend all that money?" ”

Di Renjie said: "The teacher's money has to build roads, and now he has to build a breeding farm, and he has bought a lot of timber, but he can save it, and the manpower is from his own village." ”

"It turned out to be for business." Zhang Gong stroked his beard and said, "What about usual." ”

"Usually, the teacher eats ready-made meat dishes in the village, and the leftover meat after selling the pork is used by the teacher himself, and the teacher's skills are very good."

"There are all the villages that need it, even the furniture is made by the teacher himself, and the teacher also said that thrift is a good habit of our Central Plains people all the time."
