Chapter 489 The Promising Old Li
"Owner, who are they? Why are they all following the magistrate Zhao?" Looking at the teenagers who were pulling a cart in front of him, someone asked Wang Nian curiously.
"Who?" Wang Nian smiled, then showed a look of gratitude, and said, "Do you know the origin of our County Magistrate Zhao?"
"Course? What's the origin? Isn't it just a county magistrate?" the worker asked before.
"Isn't it just a county magistrate?" Wang Nian showed a joke on her face and said, "This county magistrate is Zhao Chen, the county magistrate of our Wannian County."
"Ah? It's him?" the worker exclaimed.
"Do you know who those people around him are?" Wang Nian said again.
The worker shook his head, but his eyes were full of curiosity.
"The boy who was wearing a mask just now was His Highness the King of Shu. As for the others, I guess..."
"Forget it, you don't understand even after you say it, work hard."
"By the way, the county magistrate said that everyone will wear a mask when working. If you don't wear it, you will go home to farm." Wang Nian said to the worker.
...
"No, no, I'm going to be exhausted!"
Less than two miles away, Li Ke threw the rope away, parked the cart in the middle of the road, and then went to the grass beside him.
A wailing sound.
Seeing this, the rest of the people stopped and hung their backs and gasped desperately.
For a moment, these guys from the academy wanted to rush over and kill Li Ke.
If he hadn't been in harmony with the emperor, would they have to pull so much cement?
Isn’t it good for him to pull three or four bags by one person before?
"Sir, why don't we throw some cement here. If this continues, it will be a life." Fang Yizhi shouted to Zhao Chen.
He is a literati and it is already very good to be able to help push the cart.
Changsun Chong, who was with him, doesn’t even have the strength to speak now.
Just lying on the ground, worse than Li Ke.
Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu were fine, but he was just breathing.
The others also looked like they were dying.
Old Li was calm and relaxed, with a look of relaxation.
After all, he would walk with Zhao Chen, so it was naturally very relaxed.
"You have to ask Your Majesty if you are not, mainly because Your Majesty is afraid of wasting it." Zhao Chen looked at Old Li with a smile.
Lao Li didn't know that Zhao Chen was deliberately transferring the conflict to him.
Looking at the tired and paralyzed students, Lao Li felt a little embarrassed.
These cements are all good things, thrown on the road, and if it rains, they will be completely destroyed.
But if they don't throw it here, they won't get it back.
"Leave half of the cement here, Cheng Chumo, Qin Huaiyu, you two stay here and watch. I will find someone to come and take all of these back later." Old Li was like a greedy local rich man.
I don't want to lose any cement at all.
Zhao Chen didn't object, and there were not so many places in the academy to put these things on.
Everyone quickly finished packing up and asked Cheng Chumo, Qin Huaiyu and the others to stay here, while the rest continued to walk forward.
Half of the cement is naturally fast, and everyone no longer complains about being tired.
In the early days, I arrived outside Wannian County.
"Your Majesty, are you?" Empress Changsun and Li Ruoshuang came from somewhere, and they were very surprised to see this team of carts.
Especially when I saw Li Ke and the others pulling a cart.
"Guanyin maid, this is the treasure I discovered." Old Li wanted to show it in front of Queen Changsun at this time.
Regardless of the contempt that Zhao Chen showed behind his back.
"Isn't this just some dust?" Queen Changsun couldn't help but say strangely when she saw the burrow in the sack.
"This...this is...this is...this is...right, it is called cement." Old Li thought for a long time before he remembered the name of this thing.
Empress Changsun laughed secretly. The emperor didn't even know the name of this thing, and said that he had discovered it himself.
However, she did not expose the emperor's lies, but continued to ask: "What's the use of this thing?"
"You have to keep it confidential for the time being, and you will know tomorrow." Old Li said to Empress Changsun in a pretentious manner.
...
When he returned to the city, Zhao Chen asked Wei Zheng to send someone on the way, picking Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu back.
Old Li was very excited and personally helped to move the cement into the backyard of the academy.
Regardless of the messy body.
Looking at the cement sacks piled together, Lao Li's face showed an expression of expectation.
Tomorrow, you will see the effects of this cement.
"Guanyin maid, just look at it. What you make tomorrow will definitely open your eyes." Old Li said to Queen Changsun with a smile.
It has been a long time since Empress Changsun saw the emperor's expression so excited.
This made me feel a little expectant.
The county yamen, Wei Zheng, came over to report today's affairs with Zhao Chen.
However, when he saw Zhao Chen finishing his meal, he was not polite at the moment and directly took a pair of bowls and chopsticks from the kitchen.
Sitting opposite Zhao Chen, he didn't say anything, just kept eating.
"Old Wei, you're a little too much. I'll give you more than five cents of money every month. You can go to the restaurant every day, and you can come to my place to eat for free?" Zhao Chen was dissatisfied with Old Wei's behavior.
"What five-silo money?" As soon as Zhao Chen finished speaking, he saw Lao Li walking over with his hands behind his back.
I feel a little fluttery when walking, but when I look like this, I should be in a very good mood.
Wei Zheng glanced at the emperor, but just bowed his hand, but also talked to him.
The relationship is still annoyed by the fact that he was demoted to the county magistrate by the emperor.
Lao Li is not a good guy, especially for those who are surprised by Zhao Chen.
He immediately spoke, "I haven't seen you for a few days, but Wei Qing is really good at this temper."
Wei Zheng naturally knew that the emperor was deliberately provoking him, but he did not give in and said coldly: "I dare not be as powerful as Your Majesty."
"I wonder what your Majesty is happy about today, but he actually walked on the street in public with a cart."
"Is Your Majesty trying to experience the sufferings of the people, or something? Why not let me preach it to Your Majesty?"
Old Li's head immediately changed his expression, but he returned to calm in an instant.
"I pulled the cart today to go outside the city to get a treasure. This thing is enough to change the future of my Tang Dynasty."
"If you want to proclaim it for me, I will not ask for it!" Old Li sneered.
He knew in his heart that once this cement was used in all walks of life, the Tang Dynasty would look different.
When Wei Zheng fell, the old guy, must have knelt on the ground and said he was wise.
Old Wei did not expect that the emperor would be so confident today.
I couldn't help but look at Zhao Chen, hoping to get clues from him.
"Wei Zheng, you don't have to look at him. You will come to the academy tomorrow. I will definitely convince you completely." Old Li said with a smile, holding the two dishes in front of him and leaving.
"I'm fucking..."
I have been busy all day and finally came back to stir-fry two delicious dishes, and I am going to reward myself.
Unexpectedly, Old Li did this and even brought the plates away.
