The happy life of a prodigal

Standing in the distance, Emperor Chu looked at this scene, but there was still anger on his face, and he said coldly: "I really should let each of these guys go to the field to dig sweet potatoes once, and let them know that this How does it feel to dig sweet potatoes!"

Liu Cheng next to him wiped his sweat and dared not speak.

For fear that His Majesty noticed him.

I let myself dig sweet potatoes again.

For several days in a row, Emperor Chu handled the official documents of Gusu Mansion in the yamen.

Occasionally, I just stroll around the suburbs of this city, or I just come here to see how the magistrate is digging sweet potatoes.

I have to say that these guys are quite quick to learn.

In just a few days, digging the sweet potatoes is considered to be digging out something.

Some are even faster than farmers.

this day.

As usual, Chu Huang stood by the field and watched them.

Suddenly, a guard came over, stood upright, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, a letter from Xin'an."

"Oh?" Chu Huang was slightly taken aback, and said, "Show it to me."

Obviously he did not expect that Fang Xiu's reply would arrive so soon.

According to his ideas.

It is estimated that Fang Xiu will waste some time when he reads the letter, and another time will be wasted writing a reply.

After all, he knows how lazy this person is.

He reached out to take the letter, and browsed it carefully from top to bottom.

After a while, he looked at the letter and sighed leisurely.

It turns out that this sweet potato cannot be used as a staple food.

But even if it is only used as supplementary food, it is completely enough!

After all, one mu has a yield of more than 7000 catties!

Among other things, this output completely crushes other rice.

Moreover, the taste is so good.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chu smiled again.

At the same time, I feel emotional in my heart.

In just one year, this boy Fang Xiu has brought great changes to the entire Chu State and the court.

At this moment, he was a little rejoiced.

Fortunately, this kid was sent to see the pro-military review.

Otherwise, such a talent would be wasted!

fine......

not bad......

Thinking of this, Emperor Chu laughed heartily.

After laughing, he looked at Liu Cheng who was beside him again, and said, "Okay, I've made it clear about the sweet potato.

This time, Marquis Xin'an made great contributions again, and the man in his house...

One person brought a dozen guards to Gusu Mansion, but there were only five people left. They had nothing to eat, nothing to drink, nothing...

What is that man's name? "

Chu Huang frowned, but couldn't remember the name of this person.

Seeing this, Liu Cheng hurriedly reminded, "It's called Qian Zheng, Your Majesty."

"Yes, Qian Zheng!"

The Emperor Chu's face showed a look of surprise, he shook his head and said: "I am really old, I can't even remember the names of the ministers who have made meritorious deeds, hey..."

Speaking of this, he sighed deeply, and said again: "This money can be regarded as a contribution to the cultivation of sweet potatoes.

For Fang Xiu, I really couldn't think of any good rewards for a while.

Just reward the money first.

If I remember correctly, he doesn't have a title yet, right?

He was named Du Mingbo. "

When Liu Cheng heard this, he was slightly startled, and then he was extremely shocked.

In this way, isn't there two marquises and an earl in that small Fangfu?

Of course, he knew in his heart that Qian Zheng could not be regarded as a member of the Fang family.

However, he still knew a little about Qian Zheng.

This person can be said to be alone.

The only source is Fangfu.

To make him an earl is tantamount to giving Fangfu another earl title.

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

There was no change in the expression on his face, but he was thinking in his heart.

After returning to Beijing this time, no matter what, he must not offend Marquis Xin'an.

"By the way, Liu Cheng..."

Chu Huang looked at the magistrate who was digging sweet potatoes not far away, and seemed to think of something, and looked at Liu Cheng.

Liu Cheng hurriedly responded, "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

The Emperor Chu looked at him and asked: "If I remember correctly, it seems that Yan Song, the servant of the household department, is in Linze Mansion?"

Hearing this, Liu Cheng had a thoughtful look on his face.

After a while, he replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Mr. Yan is indeed in Linze Mansion now, and he is serving as the Jiedu Envoy of the Central Plains."

Emperor Chu nodded, and said again: "I remember that he is the one who is most opposed to the Dingheyi policy here. He has been in the Central Plains for a while, and I want to see if he has changed a little bit."

Speaking of this, he paused, and said: "When you return to Beijing this time, let's go to Linze Mansion for a while."

Liu Cheng hurriedly said: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Chu Huang nodded, and once again looked at the farmers in the field, his expression returned to his original solemnity.

I don't know what is going on in his heart.

Standing behind Emperor Chu, Liu Cheng did not dare to make a sound, for fear of disturbing His Majesty.

Time passed minute by minute.

In a blink of an eye, it was two days later.

Most of the sweet potatoes in the ground have been dug out.

After careful statistics, the sweet potatoes in this few acres of land are actually enough for the entire Gusu Mansion to eat for several days.

When Emperor Chu heard the news, he almost wanted to plant all the fertile fields on the outskirts of Gusu Prefecture with sweet potatoes.

However, after thinking about what Fang Xiu said in the previous letter, forget it.

The sweet potatoes don't need good land to grow. Even in the four northern states, as long as it's not winter, the climate is too harsh.

It can also be planted and grown.

However, rice is different. It must be cultivated in fertile land.

If it is in those barren fields, it will not be able to grow at all.

Therefore, Fang Xiu's suggestion to the Chu Emperor is, or the suggestion to the Ministry of Household Affairs.

In some fields where rice cannot be grown, this sweet potato is grown.

However, the fields where rice can be planted in the past are kept unchanged as much as possible.

Emperor Chu also adopted this suggestion.

In the end, it was decided to store these sweet potatoes, use them as seeds, transport them to some more barren places, and then plant them.

Wait until next year, and then use it as food.

Other than that, there is nothing else.

The Emperor of Chu gave a few more instructions to the prefect of Gusu City, and then set off again, leaving Gusu Mansion...

Chapter 7 and one?

The prefect of Gusu Prefecture shouted, "Respectfully send off Your Majesty!" ', but I was relieved in my heart.

Finally sent him away!

After Emperor Chu and his party left Gusu City, they went straight to Linze Mansion.

Linze Mansion is not too far from Gusu Mansion, and it takes only two days to arrive there.

Sitting on the carriage, Emperor Chu looked at the surrounding environment with a thoughtful expression on his face.

After a while, Liu Cheng was called.

"Your Majesty, what are your orders?" Liu Cheng asked.

The Emperor Chu looked at him, and said: "Let the guards stay here, and find me a merchant's clothes, and I want to visit in private."

"This......"

Liu Cheng naturally hesitated.

After all, it's not a trivial matter to visit Weifu privately, let alone here.

Out of nowhere, an assassin appeared.

The Emperor Chu looked at Liu Cheng and knew that he was also worried about his own safety, so instead of getting angry, he said leisurely, "Could it be that even the priests can't protect me in such a small Linze Mansion?"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Yup!

Almost forgot about this.

There are also royal offerings!

So, he bowed and said: "I understand, Your Majesty, I will go and find one later, Your Majesty."

After speaking, he bowed and turned to leave.

When you come back, take an ordinary dress.

After Emperor Chu replaced him, he asked the guards to stay here.

He was alone, and he brought Liu Cheng with him, and left here.

Linze Mansion.

Still bustling as usual.

In any case, it is the most prosperous city in the Central Plains after all, even if it suffers a disaster.

On the way to Linze Mansion, Emperor Chu always felt that this place looked much better than Gusu Mansion.

There is an endless stream of pedestrians coming and going.

Vendors are yelling 'saobing', 'rouge' and so on.

This bustling scene feels a bit like a capital.

It was beyond Chu Huang's expectation.

After all, before he came here, he had already made plans for the entire Linze Mansion to be in ruins.

But I didn't expect that what I saw was actually these scenes.
