Chapter 12 The worries of the world first, the joy of the world after the world

Wei Zheng led a few soldiers led by the crown prince to gallop on the country road.

Early this morning, Wei Zheng received an order from the crown prince to inspect the autumn harvest of the people around Chang'an.

It was a chore, but Wei Zheng happily accepted it. The famine he experienced as a teenager was deeply etched in his bones, and even if he was not short of food and clothing now, he would never allow his family to be extravagant and wasteful.

Hunger is the last thing humans should have!

Wei Zheng still remembers what he said when he first had a full meal.

As one of Li Jiancheng's capable subordinates, he was not convicted, but became the head of the imperial historian.

Several pleas for tax reduction and reduction of taxes and saving extravagance and waste were all approved in detail by Li Shimin. The next day, several orders were issued one after another to reduce taxes and live with the people.

An emperor who is sympathetic to the people of Li must be a good emperor, and it is not a bad thing to follow Li Shimin!

Wei Zheng said to himself.

This year's rain has been good, and even a few upland fields look to be producing well. Wei Zheng walked into a remote village with a smile, wanting to see how the people here were doing.

It's strange that I didn't see anyone from the entrance of the village, and if I went deeper, several dilapidated houses in the village were crowded with people, and a few villagers were carrying stone slabs with mud.

It seems that these villagers are building houses.

Wei Zheng took off his robe and rolled up his sleeves, the patrol around Chang'an was almost over, and now the sun is still high, since he has met, how can he take a hand.

Help the villagers and mud, and help the villagers to see wood. When Wei Zheng, who was embarrassed, walked into the open-air house, he found two people he couldn't dream of being here - Li Tai and Li Ke.

"If it's not heat transfer, what is the reason? Master said that this principle is very similar to heat transfer, but it is much more advanced when you study it deeply. Since it is similar, it is not the same. Ah...... Sad! ”

Li Tai tugged at his hair irritably, unaware of Wei Zheng's arrival.

Li Ke found out that the person came, although he didn't know him, but although he was full of embarrassment, he was wearing official boots, and he thought that he was an official who was not low, and the official boots of the county order at the bottom were reluctant to wear them except for some important occasions.

So he bowed and asked, "I don't know which one it is?" ”

Wei Zheng returned the salute seriously: "The old man Yu Shitai Wei Zheng inspected the township on the orders of the prince. I wonder where the two sons are? ”

Li Ke said proudly: "It was my master who sent us, the people's houses are simple, and they are very easy to get sick in case of severe cold, so the master asked us to take people to build houses for the lonely and widowed elderly in some poor places, and the winter is not far away, although we can't take care of all the families, but we can build a bigger house, and let the lonely and widowed old people live together." ”

Wei Zheng immediately looked at Li Ke's master in awe: "But I don't know which great Confucian the master is?" ”

"Confucian?" Li Ke glanced at Wei Zheng strangely: "My master is the owner of the downstairs in the world. ”

"The owner of the downstairs in the world?"

This answer surprised Wei Zheng very much, he had also heard of the name of the world's upstairs, five times a pot of wine, ten times a plate of food. Such a place can be said to be a place for the rich to show off their wealth, and Wei Zheng will spit every time he passes by the downstairs. But I didn't want to go downstairs to fund the relief of the people.

If you think about it carefully, the downstairs of the world is full of the style of "the poor do not enter", and this kind of behavior can be regarded as a kind of mild killing the rich and helping the poor.

Recalling his previous actions, Wei Zheng couldn't help blushing.

"Doctor Wei, I'm going to arrange for the villagers and craftsmen to rest, you can do your own thing."

Li Ke picked up a pot of herbal tea from the ground on the side and walked out.

Wei Zheng looked at Li Ke, who kindly invited the villagers and craftsmen to rest and drink tea, and it was difficult to associate him with the identity of the royal child.

Wei Zheng couldn't help but be very interested in the owner of the Tianxia Mansion who he had never met.

……

Several of Li Chengqian's guards looked at the embarrassed Leng Feng and smiled unkindly......

got a sweaty BMW, so he naturally wanted to ride a yo-yo, but Leng Feng, who rode a motorcycle, drove a car, and flew a plane, had never learned to ride a horse at all, and even Li Chengqian was better than him in riding.

As a last resort, Leng Feng could only practice horseback riding at the horse farm outside the city.

However, Leng Feng's receptivity is still very high, and he rode well in the morning.

In the afternoon, he had already practiced fighting with Li Chengqian's personal guards on horseback.

At night, everyone simply didn't go back to the city, but stayed in the horse farm, and Leng Feng was determined to practice the fighting style on the horse thoroughly!

……

Today, Wei Zheng deliberately came to the Tianxia Tower early. When he asked the waiter to see the landlord of the downstairs, the reply he received was that the landlord was not there, and he had left the city.

Wei Zheng sighed: "That is the case, I am tired of waiting for the landlord to come back and inform the landlord, and Yushitai Wei will ask for a meeting." ”

The waiter looked Wei Zheng up and down and asked, "But Wei Zheng, Wei Xuancheng?" ”

Wei Zheng nodded.

The waiter said respectfully: "The landlord has instructed that if Dr. Wei comes to visit, he happens to be absent, so he will give a gift to Dr. Wei." ”

With that, the waiter led Wei Zheng up to the third floor and asked Wei Zheng to sit down. A bronze mirror and a scroll were taken out of the three-story cabinet.

Wei Zheng first opened the scroll and saw the book: "The worries of the world are worried, and the joys of the world are happy." ”

Wei Zheng was shocked, just these short fourteen words were far from being able to be written by ordinary people, and he looked at this sentence greedily, as if he wanted to imprint every word in his mind.

Gently closing the scroll, Wei Zheng was afraid of staining the word.

Looking at the bronze mirror again, the front center of the bronze mirror is engraved with a huge word "people". With such a word, the bronze mirror loses its usefulness.

Wei Zheng stroked the characters on the bronze mirror, which was a gift corresponding to his original intention as an official.

Wei Zheng said to the waiter: "If the landlord comes back, please tell me on your behalf." Wei Zheng will definitely look in the mirror every day to introspect! ”

The waiter nodded, and then served the lunch box, which was full of wine and dishes: "Mr. is rare to come once, the landlord must set up a banquet every time he meets guests, although the landlord is not there, these things still have to be given to Mr., it is morning, and Mr. will not lose the taste if he eats it at noon." ”

Wei Zheng smiled: "Didn't you say that you can't take away the wine downstairs in the world?" ”

The waiter replied: "That's to prevent some villains who go out with wine to brag and sell, and yesterday Ju Guogong also sent a servant to take away a pot." Today's wine is for Mr. Hospitality, and next time Mr. wants to drink it, he will have to pay for it! ”

Wei Zheng smiled bitterly: "The family is poor, and the old man can't afford to enjoy a pot of wine." ”

Although he said so, Wei Zheng still accepted it.

The aroma of wine emitted here is enough to smell a hundred meters, and even Wei Zheng has been coveting it for a long time.
