Wannian County officials led Li Wei, the steward of the Hejian County Prince's Mansion, to inform everyone in Lijiazhuang of this matter.
Moreover, it was announced that the prince of Hejian County showed favor to the villagers of Lijiazhuang because of his new acquisition of Zhuangzi.
The entire household in Lijiazhuang will be exempted from land tax for one year.
Regarding this matter, Lijiazhuang was naturally extremely happy from top to bottom.
In the past, their Lijiazhuang was located in a remote place, and there were not many men in the village, so they were often bullied by merchants and hawkers. As for the bullying from the government, it was even more severe.
Moreover, I didn't dare to get angry or complain at all.
Who would have thought that their entire village would now transform into the village of the Prince of Hejian County.
In addition to having less freedom, no one can bully them at will. Moreover, the land tax has also been reduced.
As for those merchants, hawkers, and government officials?
hehe!
Uncle Six said that whoever comes will only be given two nostrils!
"Prince of Hejian County?"
Li Xuan looked at the happy-looking Sixth Uncle and Li Wei in front of him and asked with a strange expression.
"Brother Li, the prince who came with you before is the prince of Hejian County?"
"Exactly!"
With Li Shimin's instructions, Li Wei's face was full of affirmation this time.
Anyway, none of these people have met the King of Hejian County or His Majesty, and this place is still far away from Chang'an. Unless His Majesty reveals his identity, no one will be able to discover the truth.
"I see, I'm telling you, something is so wrong. Every time those guards come with Manager Li, they have an evil aura."
On the side, Uncle Six suddenly realized.
Naturally, when such a prince with great military exploits travels to escort him, he must be accompanied by his own soldiers who have been with him for many years.
"In addition, I also let the young master know that in order to thank the young master for offering the Quyuan plow, the prince has granted the young master the freedom to live in Lijiazhuang permanently. No land tax will be charged on the four acres of fertile land under the young master's name.
"
Thinking of His Majesty's special instructions when he came out, Li Wei continued: "It's just that if the young master feels that he is not used to living in Lijiazhuang and wants to leave, I hope that the young master and the prince will inform him of his whereabouts. However, for the young master,
Go there, and the prince will never stop you in any way!"
"So, Li Xuan thanks you so much, Your Majesty!"
After hearing this, Li Xuan glanced at Li Wei in surprise, not understanding that this was a deliberate move by His Majesty Li Er to keep him.
However, it is a beautiful thing that no one will disturb him and he can live leisurely.
Moreover, with that one on top, I don't have to worry about anyone bothering me.
I'm afraid, even the two people from the Zheng family who just tricked me away will no longer be able to disturb me here again!
"As long as the young master can live comfortably!"
Seeing that Li Xuan didn't have any objections, Li Wei continued: "In addition, if there is anything else that I need Li Wei's help for, young master, please feel free to ask me."
"In the future, in order to manage this Zhuangzi, two stewards from the palace will be sent here. If anything happens to me, young master, you can also look for those two people!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
At this time, Li Xuan had to say that His Majesty Li Er had done a complete job.
"These are what Li Wei should do. Without my wife, the prince would not be able to receive such a great reward!"
Li Wei is still as humble as ever.
Later.
the following few days.
Li Xuan had thoroughly seen the methods of His Majesty Li Er.
A bunch of people and hundreds of craftsmen were directly dispatched.
The path leading from Lijiazhuang to the outside world was widened to one foot wide.
In addition, about ten acres of open space was leveled in the uppermost corner of the village and construction of houses began.
Such a big movement made the news that Lijiazhuang became the king of Hejian County spread throughout Chang'an City and its surrounding areas.
…
at the same time.
The main residence of the Zheng family in Xingyang.
An old man in brown robes sat at the main seat, and there was an old man in white robes sitting next to him.
Next to it, there is a hot stove.
Beside the stove, two young women looked after it.
In the furnace, several pieces of charcoal were burning, and there was an iron pot on the furnace.
In the pot, tea leaves are being boiled.
In front of the old man in brown robe and the old man in white robe beside him, there were exquisite teacups.
Inside the cup is a cup of yellow-green boiling water, which is the brewed tea.
However, the two old men were obviously very satisfied with the tea in the cup at this moment. Regardless of the heat, they picked up the cup and blew on it gently, then took a sip with enjoyment on their faces.
Then, the old man in brown robe turned his head and looked at Zheng Mingde standing below.
"Mingde, are you looking for that talented person who improved the curved shaft plow?"
"Master, the wise man Mingde has been found!"
Zheng Mingde quickly replied.
Obviously, the old man in brown robe is really the current head of the Zheng family, Zheng Yuanzhe! And the old man in white robe is the eldest elder of the second room of the Zheng family, Zheng Yuanjing.
"oh?"
Hearing this, Zheng Yuanzhe and Zheng Yuanjing both beamed with joy.
"Tell me quickly, what does that talented man look like, who is his last name, how old is he, and does he have any family influence?"
"The head of the family, the elder of the clan, that wise man is handsome, his surname is Li, his name is Xuan! He is eighteen years old. As for the family power, there is no such thing."
Zheng Mingde replied: "However, Li Xuan seems to have a master who is a hermit master. However, the hermit master did not allow Li Xuan to reveal any information about him. Even though Yunde and I asked, we did not get any information.
!”
"And the hermit master's master?"
After hearing this, Zheng Yuanzhe and Zheng Yuanjing were both stunned, and then their faces were full of regret.
"Unfortunately, the whereabouts of master hermits are usually elusive, making it difficult for outsiders to find them."
"Mingde, in that case, is Li Xuan willing to marry into my Zheng family?" Zheng Yuanzhe continued to ask.
As for those hermit masters, they only felt a little pity.
Nowadays, there are countless literati and scholars in the Zheng family. There is no shortage of a few experts. Rather, there is a lack of talented people who can make the Zheng family famous throughout the ages.
"this?"
Hearing this, Zheng Mingde paused, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face.
"Um?"
Seeing this, Zheng Yuanzhe looked at Zheng Mingde quietly.
"Master, Li Xuan's master does not allow Li Xuan to get married privately!" Zheng Mingde said cautiously.
"Oh? There is actually such a thing?"
After hearing this, Zheng Yuanzhe couldn't help but straighten his expression and asked: "First tell me in detail about your meeting with Li Xuan!"
"yes!"
Zheng Mingde quickly told Zheng Yuanzhe in detail what happened from the time he met Li Xuan to the time he left.
Then, he quickly looked at Zheng Yuanzhe, his expression still a little nervous.
“Interesting, so interesting!”
But he didn't expect that Zheng Yuanzhe would have a smile on his face after listening.
"I never expected that such an interesting young man could appear in a small mountain village!"
"Um?"
Seeing this, Zheng Mingde couldn't help but be stunned, and quickly raised his hands and asked: "May I ask the master, what does this mean?"
"Mingde, do you think that young master Li Xuan has an indifferent temperament, is simple and kind?" Zheng Yuanzhe said.
"Exactly!"
Zheng Mingde quickly said: "That young master is the most honest and kind-hearted scholar Mingde has ever seen!"
"Hahaha……"
After hearing this, both Zheng Yuanzhe and Zheng Yuanzhe couldn't help laughing.
After a while, he said.
"Mingde, you and Yunde have both been deceived by this man!"
