Li Zheng ordered Li Yifu: "Build another ten granaries to prepare for emergencies."

"Ten? Will there be too many?"

"There are still many confiscations. When the corn, pumpkin and rice are ripe, it will be even more troublesome."

Li Yifu nodded as he heard this, although he didn't know what food was mentioned by Li Zheng.

I have eaten potatoes myself, and they taste very good after cooking, soft, glutinous and delicious.

Eat one or two to help you get enough.

Li Yifu was thinking about the potatoes in this warehouse. Even if the whole village no longer farms, they could eat them for a year and have a bumper harvest next year.

Li Zheng said to Li Yifu: "You used to be the county magistrate, right?"

Li Yifu nodded, "I did it for a while."

"That's very familiar with the things that the county magistrate should do and the officialdom."

“That’s natural.”

Li Yifu nodded confidently, and he was really not good at other things.

"If the county wants to talk about other things, I may be good at it, but if you want to talk about the officialdom, it is okay not to mention how clever it can be, it is still OK to be as good as a fish in water."

Li Zheng said suspiciously: "Then why did you still look like this?"

"this……"

Li Yifu said for a moment.

The court today is considered to be politically clear, and people like Li Yifu really have no room for improvement.

Besides, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are in charge, and the backbone of the court is still there.

There is a shortage of people in the court, but not people like Li Yifu who are more than inferior to those of the superiors.

Besides, this guy is too slippery, and the court now pays attention to practical work.

People like Li Yifu might not have risen so easily.

"Does the county have any instructions?"

Li Yifu deliberately changed the topic and really didn't want to talk about his miserable experiences. He thought that he was still waiting for the people in the court to discover my dusty gold.

Li Zheng said to him: "I want to buy land, what do you think should be done with such a thing?"

Li Yifu repeatedly asked, "Buy land?"

The Tang Dynasty did not buy land, and few people bought land.

If you want to sell farmland, it will definitely not work. If you can handle the taxes in the court, it will be messy.

"County, this place is not easy to buy."

Seeing the villagers harvesting potatoes, Li Zheng asked again: "What does it mean to be hard to buy? What do you mean to buy it?"

Li Yifu nodded, "According to the current Tang Dynasty law, if you want to buy and sell land, you must report it to the county magistrate, and the governors of each prefecture personally approved it, and this approval will generally not be given to you."

"Then will I pay a higher price?"

Li Yifu sighed, "A higher price is not enough. This is not a matter of transactions. For example, the county can own so much land because of the rewards of His Majesty today."

Li Zheng nodded, "I understand this. From the Duke to the Prince, to the Prince, to the County, and then to the Tenants, there is a fixed number for each household."

Li Yifu said again: "Secretary of the government asked more questions, what is the county's land used for?"

"Build a house, I plan to buy all the land behind our residential area to build a house, and those lands cannot grow food."

To build a house, according to Li Zheng's previous statement, a total of 3,000 houses were built.

Judging from the current situation, at least one thousand buildings is needed. How much land is needed for a thousand houses? It is probably hundreds of acres.

Seeing that Li Yifu looked in distress, Li Zheng asked, "Is it not easy to deal with?"

Li Yifu nodded solemnly, "It's really hard to deal with. Jingyang is not like other counties. Jingyang is generally still in charge. Even if the county officials can be bribed, it will be difficult to settle the officials in the court."

"That officials in the court have also bribed them."

Seeing that Li Zheng was speaking so lightly, Li Yi’s mansion was getting bigger. “The county is now in trouble to investigate the court.”

"Is that true? Do you have any acquaintances in the court?"

"There are a few, but they all have low official positions."

Li Zheng sighed and said, "Look at you, you can't rely on it at critical moments."

Li Yifu said: "Or why you go and ask His Highness the King of Wei, he will definitely be easy to do. It is really a good wife who is a good cook. If he is a senior official, he can join the three provinces and must do this for the county."

Thinking of Li Tai...

Li Zheng scratched his head and said, "You go and try it first, but don't touch him, don't want to owe him favors."

"Then the official will go to do business."

Li Yifu left the village and came to the county government in Jingyang.

The county officials here are very polite to Li Yi Mansion, and they all know that Li Yi Mansion is now working for Jingyang County.

Who is Jingyang County? That is the famous person today and must not be offended.

The county magistrate asked Li Yi's mansion to sit in and asked, "But what order does the county have?"

"Of course I have instructions now, otherwise I won't come here even if I am here." Li Yifu said: "The county wants to buy land."

"Buy land? How big is it?"

"Not much, only six or seven hundred acres."

"This..." the county magistrate hesitated.

Li Yifu collected his cuffs and said, "It's the land north of Jingyang that cannot be used to grow grain, and the county uses it to build houses."

"Okay...Okay." The county magistrate nodded.

Li Yifu patted the county magistrate on the shoulder and said, "Do it well, maybe one day the county will promote you."

"Where can you dare to be it, how can you dare to be it."

The county magistrate nodded and bowed to see Li Yi's mansion. After the people left, the county magistrate wrote a memorial and handed it to Chang'an.

Chang'an, it has been a while since Sun Chong, a senior official from the school, came to the school.

Since I came here, I seem to have even alienated myself.

What I do here is a trivial matter, and occasionally I have to deal with some memorials sent by various counties.

Some counties and counties even report trivial matters to the palace.

I have to face a group of old guys here all day long and I have to deal with it.

Always thinking about surpassing Li Zheng.

Thinking about it now, Changsun Chong felt a sense of powerlessness.

After being sent to the school, I had fewer opportunities to make contributions.

There are fewer and fewer opportunities to see the prince, so how can we talk about making contributions?

Changsun Chong felt very dissatisfied.

The official sent a memorial and said, "Young Master Changsun, please check it out if you have a memorial from Jingyang."

Changsun Chong took the memorial in annoyance and looked at the contents on it. At first glance, it turned out to be related to Li Zheng.

Jingyang County wants to buy 600 acres of wasteland north of Jingyang.

It is said that the fiefdom given to Li Zheng by Your Majesty has already exceeded the fiefdom that a county should have.

What does he have to do so much?

After thinking for a while, Changsun Chong wrote a no on this memorial, "You can send it back."

The officials immediately ran to issue the memorial after seeing it.

After receiving the message, Li Zheng sat at home and sighed.

Li Tai looked at Li Zheng's expression and asked, "What's wrong? He looked dejected. Have you lost money?"

"No." Li Zheng shook his head.
