"It turned out that it was not difficult to do business." Cen Wenwen said.

Li Zheng was walking with Cen Wenwen to the construction site in the residential area, and it was noon, and many people were resting in the shade of trees.

Cen Wenwen asked a villager, "Don't you work?" ”

The villagers fell asleep and didn't want to take care of it, but when they opened their eyes, they saw Li Zheng coming and stood up.

Li Zheng introduced: "This is Cen Zhongshu from the court, who came to visit us, and I know that all of you have worked hard. ”

The villagers didn't know what etiquette was, so they didn't know how to salute, but they smiled a little honestly and said, "We don't work at noon, it's all morning and evening." ”

Cen Wenwen then asked, "Then did your county marquis force you to work?" ”

As soon as these words came out, several villagers stood up and said vigilantly: "Are you, the official, trying to frame our county marquis?" ”

Several nearby villagers approached, and Cen Wenwen immediately took a few steps back and looked at Li Zheng on the side.

Li Zheng hurriedly persuaded: "Don't be so excited, people just ask." ”

The villager said, "Zheng'er, if these officials bully you, you can tell your uncles and uncles." ”

The smile on Cen Wenwen's face became more and more bitter, and he hurriedly explained: "You have misunderstood, it is just a routine business here, and it is all a business matter. ”

The villagers shouted again: "We can't be framed casually for official business. ”

"Of course." Cen Wenwen nodded hurriedly.

Unable to ask any more, Cen Wenwen left here and walked to the other side, and said to Li Zheng, who was following him: "The popularity of the county marquis here is really good. ”

"It's just that they take better care of me."

Cen Wenwen then asked a few more villagers, and he roughly understood the situation here.

Before leaving, Cen Wenwen said to Li Zheng: "Recently, there have been many people in Chang'an who have been struggling to recruit people's labor, and they have died. ”

"I've heard all these things down there."

Cen Wenwen explained: "After Your Majesty knows about this matter, he has now issued an order, if there is another such thing, it will definitely not be tolerated, and now all parties are investigating whether there is such a thing." ”

"Cen Zhongshu is tired."

"It's just a matter of doing the duty of a courtier, and the lower official will go to report to His Majesty, and the lower official will tell you the truth about the matter of the county marquis."

"Walk slowly."

Li Zheng said goodbye to Cen Wenwen, and Li Yifu came up and asked, "Are we okay?" ”

"It's fine." Li Zheng said to Li Yifu: "If you pass the word, our county will recruit people." ”

"Recruiting people?"

"Now that the DPRK has issued such a ban, many people are expected to have no work, and now is a good time for us to recruit people, and the wages are still the same as before."

After thinking about it, Li Yifu understood Li Zheng's purpose.

"The county marquis's trick is really ......"

Li Zheng: "Robbing while it's hot? ”

Li Yifu shook his head, "It should be the bottom of the kettle." ”

Cen Wenwen returned to the DPRK and reported to Li Shimin about the situation in Jingyang County.

Li Shimin asked in a low voice: "So Li Zheng not only did not work hard to collect labor, but also treated the villagers well?" ”

Cen Wenwen nodded, "That's true." ”

Li Zhengjingyang's popularity has always been very good, which is obvious to all.

Li Shimin went to Jingyang County several times, and he could feel the trust of those villagers in Li Zheng.

Li Zheng was born in Jingyang County, and the villagers watched Li Zheng grow up.

Of course, there will be suspicions, and there will be gossip.

The body is not afraid of the shadow, even if someone gossips, as long as Li Zheng does a good job, he will naturally break himself.

I thought that this time Li Zheng would suffer a loss, at least be impeached.

Li Shimin drank a sip of cold water in distress, those things that were unwarranted suspicions and rumors of officials and officials really had to be taken care of.

Although Li Zheng wants to draw a clear line, he does not want to be estranged from Li Zheng.

I don't know if Li Zheng will think much about this time.

Li Junxian came to the front of the palace and reported: "Your Majesty, I have found out whose land belongs to Bashang. ”

Li Shimin sank down and asked, "Say." ”

"Whoa." Li Junxian first handed over a note, "It has been verified that the land on Ba Shang has been resold several times three months ago." ”

Li Shimin shouted angrily: "The court strictly orders that the land cannot be sold privately, and there are still people who dare to buy and sell like this against the ban of the court!" ”

Li Junxian lowered his head and explained: "First, a side of the eldest grandson's family was the master and sold it to a wealthy family in Chang'an, and the rich family sold it to a merchant in Luoyang at a relatively high price, and then changed hands to the Cui family of Qinghe several times. ”

Li Shimin flipped through the recital, and it was clearly written on it when the transaction was made and the specific money traded.

Li Shimin said to Li Junxian: "Take down the names of the people involved in the recital one by one!" All of them were taken into Dali Temple for interrogation. ”

Li Junxian asked: "There is the eldest grandson family and five surnames on it......"

Li Shimin angrily threw down the piece and said: "Give it all to me to take down and investigate thoroughly!" It doesn't matter if they are from the eldest grandson's family or the fifth surname! ”

"Whoa!"

Li Junxian got up and went to do something.

A storm seems to have led to a big case.

Cen Wenwen thought secretly in his heart.

Li Shimin asked the eunuch on the side to give Cen Wenwen a bowl of sour plum soup, "You have also worked hard, drink the soup." ”

Cen Wenwen took the bowl of tea soup, "Thank you for the tea." ”

In this hot summer, it is best to be able to drink a bowl of sour plum soup.

In this season, it is rare to drink sour plum soup like this to quench your thirst.

Looking at Cen Wenwen, he drank a bowl of sour plum soup.

No matter how you look at him, he looks very disgusted when he drinks.

Li Shimin also picked up the sour plum soup on his table and tasted it carefully.

The taste is obviously good, too.

Li Shimin asked, "Isn't it delicious?" ”

Cen Wenwen smiled and said, "It's delicious." ”

"In addition to Jingyang, other places should also be investigated, you have worked hard these days."

"The minister has retired."

Li Shimin sat alone in the manna hall and muttered to himself: "Could it be that Cen Wenwen doesn't like sour plum soup?" ”

Maybe Cen Wenwen didn't like it in the first place.

Li Shimin instructed the eunuchs: "Now that the heat is unbearable, distribute some sour plums to the princes of each family." ”

With sour plums to relieve the heat, they must have had a little better.

More than an hour later, the palace maid sent a package, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Wei asked someone to send some ice." ”

"Ice? Where did he get the ice? ”

There is also some ice in the palace, but the quantity is very small and should be spared.

The palace maid explained: "The person sent by His Royal Highness the King of Wei said that it was the ice that Li Zheng made with a home remedies. ”

Li Shimin took the package and opened it to see that it was full of crushed ice.

The palace maid said again: "It is said that chilled mung bean soup is the best to eat at this season, and Cen Zhongshu has eaten chilled mung bean soup." ”

No wonder he was so disgusted when he gave Cen Wen sour plum soup, it turned out that they had already eaten it chilled!

I still take sour plum soup as a baby?

The palace maid also said: "How much you want, don't save it, if Your Majesty wants to use it, you can send it every day." ”
