Xu Jingzong said, "It tastes good."

Wei Zheng nodded, "Everyone says that the food in Jingyang is unique and well-deserved."

Xu Jingzong said again: "It's just that this bun is already cold, and it would taste better if the hot buns are eaten."

Wei Zheng stopped talking and looked ahead.

It was said that it was a rest, but Wei Zheng had no intention of getting off the carriage.

Since Wei Zheng didn't speak.

Xu Jingzong also remained silent very sensible.

The carriage marched for half a day, and it was only in the evening that it arrived at Luoshui.

The road construction has recently reached the end of work.

Many people began to go home one after another, and some farmers were cleaning up the construction site.

Xu Jingzong said to Wei Zheng: "It's this."

Wei Zheng walked off the carriage, "I'll take a look at it myself, you don't have to accompany you."

Xu Jingzong nodded with a smile.

After seeing Wei Zheng leave, the groom in the carriage whispered: "Tao Xu, we are a little too polite to this Duke of Zheng."

Xu Jingzong sighed helplessly and said, "It was all ordered by the Chang'an Order."

The groom is also a member of Xu Jingzong and has always followed Xu Jingzong to inquire about the news.

There are many grooms in Chang'an. Many people like to take a carriage when they go out, so they will call a carriage to travel. As grooms, you can hear people talking about them on the carriage.

The groom's business is also a source of information.

Most grooms can hear a lot of news that others cannot hear.

People won't be too prepared.

Of course, only the powerful and powerful have their own carriages.

Most people cannot afford to support a carriage, and they have to hire a groom all year round.

Wei Zheng was walking on the construction site, the road was being compacted, and the large stone slabs were placed aside to prepare for laying.

After finding a farmer who was cleaning the construction site, Wei Zheng said, "Brother, why are you working here?"

The farmer glanced at Wei Zheng's clothes and said, "Are you here to find work?"

Wei Zheng glanced at his clothes and nodded with a smile.

I didn't wear official clothes when I came out, and I was wearing ordinary clothes that were washed and faded.

The farmer wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "It seems that you are old, so you are not afraid of not wanting you."

Wei Zheng said curiously: "What should I do?"

The farmer said, "Go to ask the people who cook, they need manpower."

Wei Zheng frowned and said, "You still cook?"

The farmer smiled and said, "Everyone who works here is responsible for the meal, and there is meat every meal."

As he spoke, the farmers finished packing their work and took Wei Zheng to the other side of the construction site where several women were busy.

The farmer said: "My wife cooks here, and they also have wages."

Wei Zheng nodded slightly, "Are you tired of working here?"

The farmer smiled and said, "There is no tiring work, but the manager gives a lot of money, and it only takes only three or four hours a day. We have the strength and can also pay wages."

Wei Zheng nodded, "How much wages do you pay?"

The farmer said: "It's a good money for a month. I'll finish it before the autumn harvest. I should be able to work for two months."

Wei Zheng secretly wrote down his mind.

The farmer said again: "I heard that there are officials from above to investigate. We will not be arrested when we work like this."

Wei Zheng shook his head and said, "It's not that it's natural to give money to be a hardworker. If they don't give money, you can report it to the official, and the government will not arrest you."

The farmer looked honest. He grinned and showed his yellow teeth. "But the manager is pretty good. He arranged two masters for our village to teach the children in our village. As long as we are people working here, our children can go to study, and the master does not charge any money."

Wei Zheng said curiously: "There is such a thing?"

The farmer said, "I didn't expect that there would be such a good thing at that time. I heard that the teacher came from Jingyang."

Wei Zheng followed the farmer and walked around the village. After inquiring for a long time, he basically understood.

Xu Jingzong did not force the people to recruit their strength, and also gave so many benefits. Not only this village, but people in each village wanted to come here to work.

There are even too many people, making it difficult to collect farmers.

Wei Zheng also asked the current county magistrate, and what the county magistrate said was no different from the farmers here.

When he returned to the carriage, Xu Jingzong had already left.

The groom is still here.

Wei Zheng spent the night in the carriage and planned to change places the next day and continue checking.

Xu Jingzong has returned to Jingyang.

Jingyang was still quite lively when it was just nightfall, and the villages were discussing things under the trees.

Li Zheng was eating with a roast chicken.

Xu Jingzong hurriedly came and sat down and said, "The Chang'an Order has been arranged."

Li Zheng handed Xu Jingzong a chicken leg and said, "I haven't eaten it yet."

Xu Jingzong took the chicken leg and ate it. The smooth and tender chicken was very comfortable to enter.

After eating the chicken legs in his hand, Xu Jingzong wiped the oil from his mouth and said, "Chang'an Order, you said that Wei Zheng is too old and stubborn. It would be fine if he sent his own people to check it out, but he also had to go over and see it himself."

Li Zheng drank tea and said, "There are not many direct officials like Wei Zheng in the Tang Dynasty."

Xu Jingzong looked at the roast chicken, but Li Zheng didn't eat it and asked, "Don't Chang'an Order eat it?"

Li Zheng said, "I have eaten it, this is for you. I think you have not eaten anything yet."

Xu Jingzong picked up the whole roast chicken and started eating it, saying, "It's really hard to deal with this old man Wei Zheng. Fortunately, Chang'an Order was well arranged and there was no handle for him to arrest him."

Seeing Xu Jingzong's voracious look, Li Zheng poured him a cup of hot tea and said, "Eat slowly."

After taking a sip of hot water, Xu Jingzong breathed comfortably.

Wei Zheng followed Li Jiancheng at the beginning.

Not Li Shimin's person.

After the Xuanwu Gate incident, Li Shimin kept Wei Zheng when he liquidated Li Jiancheng's forces.

The reason why Wei Zheng was kept was because Li Shimin needed a minister like Wei Zheng.

As an emperor, it feels uncomfortable to be scolded by someone like Wei Zheng.

But Li Shimin also wants fame.

With a person like Wei Zheng in the court, it can be seen that Li Shimin is widely accepted. Li Shimin is a trustworthy emperor and an emperor who can accept advice.

What's more, Wei Zheng was a subordinate of Li Jiancheng in the past, which also showed Li Shimin's mind.

It's all Li Shimin himself needs.

Xu Jingzong finished eating a whole roast chicken. This guy ate quite cleanly, and even the shredded pork on his bones were eaten.

After taking another sip of hot tea, Xu Jingzong said, "Chang'an Ling's craftsmanship is really good."

Li Zheng smiled and said, "Go back early and rest. You will continue to take care of Wei Zheng tomorrow."

Xu Jingzong bowed and bowed a little and said, "Don't worry, Chang'an order."

The road construction needs to be repaired.

Time passed quickly, and another month passed and it was almost summer.

Wei Zheng also returned to Chang'an.
