Li Zheng said to Yan Liben: "When will the construction start?"

Yan Liben said: "It will take three days to deal with the matters left by the academy before the construction can be started."

Li Zheng said, "I'll arrange the staff."

Yan Liben nodded in agreement.

The boiler in Jingyang has been in operation for several days, and it does not require manpower or livestock. It only needs to add coal to the boiler and let it work.

The people in the village were very curious about this big guy.

I even suspect that this boiler is actually a living creature.

In the palace, Li Shimin was looking at a painting in front of him. What he painted in the painting was the appearance of the boiler.

Wang Ding said from the side: "Your Majesty is a new thing made in Jingyang. The academy calls this boiler."

Li Shimin looked at the boiler on the drawings and said, "This thing should be very big."

Wang Ding nodded, "Several adult men can't embrace each other, and Jingyang is still making it, saying that he wants to make a few more."

Li Shimin asked: "What is this thing for?"

Wang Ding replied: "It can help with work, without manpower, or even animal pulling, it can move on its own, with a very good expression."

After looking at the drawings for a while, Li Shimin was very confused.

I have seen this thing before when I went to Jingyang.

At that time, Li Zhi was just for this thing, not thinking about food or food all day long.

Now this thing is finally made?

And can it help the workshop work?

Li Shimin said: "Is he using this thing just to make Jingyang more profitable?"

Wang Ding nodded and said, "It seems like this now."

What Li Shimin hoped was that things made in Jingyang could be used in the country.

In order to make the Tang Dynasty stronger, the academy showed wisdom and used it where it should be used.

Instead of thinking about letting Li Zheng make money.

Li Shimin took a sip of tea and said, "This Li Zheng is really the same."

Wang Ding said: "Your Majesty, recently many people in the court are discussing giving more border fortifications to Jingyang."

Li Shimin put down the tea bowl in his hand, "I have indeed received such memorials these days. They said that there is no need to send manpower to the court, and there will be no situation where people are recruited. Even if there is omission in the fortifications or it may cause public anger, all the responsibilities will be in Jingyang."

Wang Ding bowed and nodded.

Li Shimin said hesitantly: "Leaving the fortifications to Jingyang can indeed save a lot of things for the court, but Li Zheng has to make money from these fortifications."

Wang Ding dared not ask about the affairs of the government, but just told Li Shimin what he knew.

A long time later, Li Shimin said: "Let Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui lead people to discuss this matter."

"Here!"

Li Shimin's eyes moved away from the scroll and turned to look at the map. Now the fortifications at the border are on the guards at various passes.

Generally, things like this are arranged in the future.

Or the Ministry of Works sends someone to assist.

If Jingyang can do the border fortifications better, it will certainly be a good thing.

The court also makes things worry-free.

Even if Li Zheng does something, he can be supervised.

You can know if you find any clues.

Li Zheng is not so stupid that he is tampering with the frontier.

Although this matter is a matter that is beneficial to both the Chaozhong and Jingyang, the Chaozhong saves trouble and Jingyang makes money.

It’s nothing to just let Li Zheng make money.

It is not a big deal to spend tens of thousands of stagnant money in the court.

The treasury of the Central Government is now full.

My own warehouse is also filled with money.

But Li Shimin always felt that this was not right.

I always feel that there is something wrong with it, but I can't figure out what the problem is.

Jingyang, Xu Jingzong complained to Li Zheng: "Chang'an Order, Your Majesty seems to have discovered something and bribed many censors in the court, but Your Majesty has not yet handed over the construction of border defenses to Jingyang."

Li Zheng said: "Your Majesty is a suspicious person, and he will not make decisions easily."

Xu Jingzong frowned and said, "Why would you rather bribe some censors from higher positions, such as the Secretariat?"

The Secretariat is the center of the government affairs.

The person inside is either Changsun Wuji's or Li Shimin's confidant.

Li Zheng said: "Most of the people in the Secretariat have backgrounds and act recklessly and are afraid of hitting iron plates."

Xu Jingzonghui said: "What Chang'an Order said is that if it fails, we will suffer from it."

While cleaning the horse circle, Li Zheng said, "Did you think Yumen Pass and Yanmen Pass have not been repaired for a long time?"

Xu Jingzong said: "It is indeed not repaired for some years. The Chang'an Order means..."

Li Zheng said: "What's wrong with the city tower in Yanmen Pass at this time? Will the court be even more anxious?"

Xu Jingzong suddenly realized, "There is no war at the border now, and there is no intention to repair the border. Your Majesty will not make a decision easily because it is not in a hurry. If something goes wrong with the Yanmen Pass, or the city wall is about to collapse, the court will naturally make a decision in a hurry."

After cleaning the horse manure aside, Li Zheng said, "Now you know what to do?"

Xu Jingzong nodded vigorously, "I know what to do."

Li Zheng said again: "Then go and do your business and pour me the horse manure by the way."

"Okay, let's do it now."

Xu Jingzong drove a cart of horse manure and left.

Li Zheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the cleaned horse ring, and sat aside to rest.

The big tiger is newlywed, and it is getting late late recently.

Li Tai is busy with the academy again.

I do all the work on the horse circle by myself.

After working until noon, after packing the horse ring, Li Zheng washed his body with cold water, changed into clean clothes and sat aside without any thoughts of moving.

It is a tiring job to pack up the horses of more than 500 horses by one person.

Li Lizhi and Xu Hui came with a food box.

When he got closer, Li Lizhi said, "I know you haven't eaten at noon, so I brought you some food."

Xu Hui carefully placed the meal on the stone table beside him, "Chang'an Order, let's have rice."

Since she was having sex, Li Lizhi seems to have not cared much about the management of the workshop these days.

Li Zheng felt that she had inexplicably started to care about her daily life.

On weekdays, you should still be busy in the account room.

Now she still has the heart to deliver food to herself.

Li Zheng, who had been hungry for a long time, was holding a bowl and eating.

Seeing Li Lizhi walking behind her.

Li Zheng saw her hand on his shoulder and pressed it hard.

"Why are you suddenly so gentle?"

Hearing this, Li Lizhi whispered: "Am I not gentle before?"

Li Zheng said: "I still like your calculating look before."

"Really? You like that?"

Li Lizhi pressed her hands very lightly, and her hair fell on her shoulders, and Li Zheng swallowed a mouthful of rice hard.

Could this woman be a witch?
