In addition to the Mangzhong in the village, the old village chief has begun to organize villagers to reclaim wasteland.

In the time of the season, we must cultivate the fields and then plant the food.

The old village chief was very concerned about land reclamation. In the past, the old village chief's generation was already scared of poverty.

If there is a land that can be planted, it is the most reliable to plant grain seeds in the ground.

Li Zhi and Di Renjie, with some children from the academy, began to decorate this 18,000 acres of land.

Li Shimin came to Jingyang again, looked at the lively Jingyang Fang City in front of him and said to Fang Xuanling beside him: "This Jingyang Fang City is still as lively as ever."

Fang Xuanling replied: "Since the roads between Jingyang and Luoyang were repaired, many merchants came from Luoyang and could only go to Luoyang in more than ten days."

Li Shimin hesitated and said, "How long will it take before?"

“It used to take a month’s journey.”

Luoyang is also a big city. Whether it was from the Han Dynasty or the North and South pre-Sui Dynasty, Luoyang's prosperity has always been there.

Li Shimin whispered: "Li Zheng is also for business in order to build this road."

Fang Xuanling smiled and said nothing.

Maybe Your Majesty now understands the true meaning of Li Zheng’s construction of this road.

The roads in Jingyang are connected to Luoyang. This is not just a business difference.

Just like now, it only takes half a month to send troops from Chang'an to Luoyang.

Li Shimin whispered: "Do you want to build more such roads?"

Fang Xuanling whispered: "Now Chang'an mobilizes troops to Luoyang and can reach Luoyang within half a month. This will make the court's control over Luoyang stronger. If you build a few more such roads, which will run across the east, west, south, and north, the world will be in the hands of Your Majesty."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "The Central Plains is so big, how easy it is to talk about it."

In the past, it was said that the disadvantages of recruiting people's power.

But who can see the benefits of future generations?

Li Zheng's road connects Chang'an and Luoyang, and a flat official road penetrates directly into Luoyang, the hinterland of the Central Plains.

This is not only for Li Zheng’s own business, but also consolidates power. It only takes half a month to send troops to Luoyang.

It is not so easy to have trouble in Luoyang.

Some people want to rebel, but they have to consider the importance of this official path.

Fang Xuanling had a picture in his heart. If the roads lead to all parts of the Central Plains, would there be no rebellion in this world?

Power will be more stable, and the rapid transfer of troops can allow wars in the area to be quickly extinguished at the beginning of their occurrence.

Li Shimin sat down at a shop in Jingyangfang City.

Eat the wine and meat here.

While taking a sip of mutton soup, Li Shimin sighed comfortably, "It's still the authentic taste of Jingyang."

Fang Xuanling whispered: "Li Zheng has made a lot of thoughts about this market."

"Customer, I used to buy mutton in Chang'an, but the rent in Chang'an is too expensive, so we all come here for cheap."

Li Shimin took another sip of wine and said to Fang Xuanling: "You heard that the rent in Chang'an City is too expensive."

Many real estate in Chang'an City are in the hands of the powerful.

These real estates are also the source of income for the powerful.

It is also one of the tools to exploit ordinary people.

Once rent increases, this kind of small vendor is the most difficult thing for survival.

They can't even pay rent for the money they earn every day.

Who can I sue for such a thing?

Do you sue the powerful?

Will it be useful to sue?

Ordinary people have no choice.

After eating, Li Shimin walked towards Jingyang Village.

Walking down from the back mountain of Jingyang, you can see a person busy in the fields from a distance.

Fang Xuanling was also moved when he saw this scene.

Thousands of people farmed and cultivated the fields, and the fields extended to the distant foothills before reaching the end.

I know that Li Shimin is here.

Li Yifu hurriedly came to greet him, "Meet Your Majesty."

Li Shimin said as he walked along the way, "Where is Li Zheng?"

Li Yifu said: "Chang'an Order has been very busy during this period. Now we should be reclaiming the land given by His Majesty."

"What do I mean to give him? I mortgaged him."

Li Yifu smiled awkwardly and said, "Please please, Your Majesty."

Li Shimin said as he walked, "I'm so brave, I actually think I'll be lying to pay."

While cursing, Li Shimin followed Li Yi's mansion to find Li Zheng.

Li Zheng was sitting under a tree and roasting a hare, while Cheng Chumo was sitting next to him.

Cheng Chumo just saw Kong Yingda off.

He was holding a big lamb leg in his hand and looked much wild.

"Have your wife and children been home?"

Li Zheng said while flipping the baked rabbit.

Cheng Chumo's wife is Kong Yingda's grandson. This time Kong Yingda's death has a great blow to her granddaughter.

Cheng Chumo was baking lamb legs while sprinkling chili powder on it.

Li Shimin walked closer and said, "You two are comfortable enough."

Seeing Li Shimin coming, Li Zheng and Cheng Chumo bowed a little and sat down again.

Li Shimin smelled the roasted rabbit and said, "This roasted rabbit smells good."

Li Zheng tore off a rabbit leg and handed it to Li Shimin, and gave Fang Xuanling another rabbit leg.

"How come Your Majesty has the leisure to come to Jingyang?"

Li Zheng distributed rabbit meat to Li Yi's mansion.

Cheng Chumo not only sprinkled peppers on the roasted lamb legs, but also held the lamb legs in one hand and the other.

The wild look was astonishing as the mutton was chewing with chili.

When I came here, I had already eaten it in Jingyang Fang City. Li Shimin also ate rabbit leg meat. The rabbit meat was really delicious. It was of high quality regardless of the heat or seasoning.

Li Shimin looked at Li Zheng, "The court has been calm recently, and there is nothing big. I am so idle that I come to Jingyang to relax. You don't welcome it."

Li Zheng smiled indifferently, "How dare you?"

Li Shimin seemed to have some slight sarcasm in his words.

Li Shimin said again, "I heard that your Jingyang has been busy these days. I know that your son-in-law must be busy all the time. Shouldn't I be concerned about my son-in-law?"

Li Zheng frowned and said, "Why do I feel like His Majesty is watching the fun? I know I am very busy and want to come and make fun of me?"

"Is that kind of person I am?"

"Don't it look like it?"

Cheng Chumo looked at Li Shimin and then looked at Li Zheng, and chewed a bite of pepper again, the kind that was chewed raw.

For Cheng Chumo, the red peppers are no different from ordinary dishes.

This made Li Shimin look sideways and asks to look at Cheng Chumo from time to time. This way of eating it makes people feel so spicy that it looks so spicy.

I don't know how this kid can eat it.

Since there was chili pepper in Jingyang, Cheng Chumo has been unable to live without chili peppers in every meal.

After eating the meat on the rabbit's legs, Li Shimin was still feeling unsatisfied, "If you are too busy in Jingyang, I can ask the court to send someone to help you."

"The Sword"

"really?"

"A gentleman has no joke."
