Chapter 511 Li Shimin's IOU
Two thousand three hundred and forty-one, and there are still zero or even ones. While drinking tea, Li Shimin's head was covered in black and his expression was a little stiff.
Li Lizhi whispered: "Father, now Li Zheng also holds several positions. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to have owed the salary that the court has been owed for so many years."
Li Shimin put down the teacup and held his forehead with a look of pain.
Li Lizhi said again: "My daughter knows that Li Zheng has been a little lazy since he became an official. Even if he deducts his salary, he must not give away money from fine salt."
The married daughter actually helped Li Zheng to collect the debt.
Li Shimin felt inexplicably sad.
"Father?"
Li Shimin thought for a while and said, "Liang, I actually have my own difficulties."
Li Lizhi looked at her father.
Li Shimin said again: "Now, we have to use money everywhere in the court. Whether it is the border army or the marriage between you and Chengqian, the palace has already been frugal everywhere."
Li Lizhi emphasized: "Frugality is frugality, business is business, salary can be deducted, business cannot be delayed."
This is very clear.
Where did the well-educated daughter go?
Li Shimin said again: "Li Zheng doesn't care about these more than 2,000 jin of silver."
Li Lizhi nodded, "The salary matter is over. My father and daughter understand that he has difficulties."
Li Shimin nodded.
Li Lizhi took out a piece of paper and said, "Business is business, business is not salary. My daughter asked her mother and the prince a few days ago that the fine salt that the father has now refined is 56,000 stones. At that time, the father and Li Zheng agreed that as long as ten kilograms of fine salt are extracted, they would give Li Zheng Yizheng a deposit of money."
Li Shimin looked at Wang Ding standing beside him.
Wang Ding smiled and nodded, "Reply to Your Majesty, this was indeed the case at the beginning."
Li Shimin looked at Li Lizhi again.
Li Lizhi said: "So far, the silver and money owed by his father has a total of 67,000 guan. As for the previous salary of 2,341 guan, you can ignore it."
Looking at a contract that Li Lizhi took out, Li Shimin asked: "This is..."
Li Lizhi put the contract in front of Li Shimin and asked Xu Hui to take the pen and ink, "This is an IOU. If the father does not intend to take out the fine salt money, please ask the father to stamp it on the IOU."
Looking at the IOU, Li Shimin looked a little dazed and confused.
Looking at the expression on Li Lizhi's face again, Li Shimin hesitated for a while and pressed his handprint on the IOU.
Looking at the face of his daughter, she smiled and was even a little proud.
Li Shimin felt sad from his heart and turned around and left.
"Wang Ding, do you think Lizhi is different from before?" Li Shimin said as he walked.
"The child will grow up anyway, and now His Royal Highness has grown a lot."
Li Shimin walked step by step to his villa.
Empress Changsun likes the air in Jingyang very much. The air in Jingyang is very clean. Even if you breathe, you can feel that the air here must be much better in Chang'an, and there is very little sand and dust falling on the window ling.
Compared with the wind blowing from the northwest from time to time, Chang'an, which rolls up dust, there seems to be no dust in the wind in Jingyang, so you can breathe boldly.
I don't know how Li Zheng did it.
It seems that Jingyang is another field without sand and dust.
After hearing the report from the palace maid, even Xiao Yizi fell ill much less frequently after coming to Jingyang than before.
Xiao Yizi and Li Zhizheng were doing the exam together, and Empress Changsun said: "Zhinu, Jingyang seems to be much less dust than Chang'an."
Hearing his mother's queen talk, Li Zhi's eyes moved away from the book and explained: "Because we have been planting trees all these years."
“Plant trees?”
"Yes." Li Zhi also said: "When Chang'an was raining heavily a few years ago, soil erosion was caused in many places. Li Zheng said that it was because of the vegetation cut down. In recent years, we have been planting trees around Jingyang. Trees can not only consolidate soil but also purify the air. There is a forest west of Jingyang, which has never been cut down. We also often plant trees."
Queen Changsun whispered, "Can trees block the wind and sand?"
Li Zhi also said: "The teacher said that as long as you plant a green belt in the Longyou area and build a sand prevention forest that can block the wind and sand, the air in Chang'an will be very good."
Queen Changsun of course knew what was going on in the northwest. There was a piece of yellow land there, and every time the wind blew, people would be covered in sand.
"Mother, if you say that if it is really what the teacher said, then this will be a big deal that will change the world."
When Queen Changsun heard Li Zhi's words, planted a piece of sand prevention forest?
Sand forest protection?
How big is this sand protection forest?
How wide is needed to resist wind and sand.
Besides, it is too late to say that the Tang Dynasty has land for growing food today.
After thinking about these things, Empress Changsun sighed again.
Seeing Li Shimin come back, Empress Changsun poured a cup of tea and said, "Your Majesty doesn't seem to be in a good mood. Have you encountered any unhappy things?"
Li Shimin said: "He has been delaying the production of the printing press workshop when he wants to increase the output of the bookmarks a little. Now, when the boy thinks of land, he is rushing to farm! He doesn't care about what I asked him to do."
After hearing Li Shimin talk about it a lot, Empress Changsun was also surprised. Where did Li Shimin get a lot of resentment?
Even if Li Zheng didn't care about running a printing shop, he would still give him a deadline.
Empress Changsun sat on the side and continued to sew clothes. "Since recently, Zhinu and Mingda both grew taller, they couldn't wear clothes from last year anymore."
Li Shimin said again: "Guanyin maid, you said she is beautiful..."
Queen Changsun whispered: "What's wrong with Lizhi?"
Li Shimin's expression was a little entangled and frowned, "I went to Li Zheng's house again today and found that the beauty seemed to be a little different from before."
Queen Changsun had a smile on her face, "How different it is, but people need to grow up and will change. Now that Li Zhi is the hostess of Jingyang, she should be more mature."
Li Shimin whispered: "How did Lizhi help Li Zheng ask me for the account? How long has she been married? This is already facing her."
Empress Changsun chuckled and said, "That is also His Majesty's daughter, but now it seems that Li Zhi's life in Jingyang is quite busy. She said that her life in Jingyang is very fulfilling."
Seeing that Li Shimin still looked depressed, Empress Changsun asked the palace maid to bring a bowl of jelly and said, "Recently Li Zheng has made another food called jelly, which tastes very good after being frozen."
Li Shimin used a spoon to dig out a small sip and tasted the taste of the jelly that was peach-like.
The taste was pretty good, and I took another big bite.
