When a passerby becomes a princess

By the time the swelling on Liang Xi's forehead had basically disappeared, the high-drum trolley had been completed and installed, and bucket after bucket of water was continuously brought up from the river below the mountain. The water was poured into the canal and flowed There are several cisterns in the farm, and if the cisterns are full, they will flow back to the river along the outlet.

When the first bucket of water was poured into the ditch, all the farmers and carpenters around were cheering loudly with excitement. Such a waterwheel and such a canal were actually built by themselves, especially those farmers, screaming and jumping It's like Chinese New Year, and I don't have to work hard to carry water anymore. The water flows along the canal to the edge of the field.

"Buy cattle?" Zhang De'er came to see Lin Qiu today to propose to return to the palace, who knows that he hasn't said anything yet, Lin Qiu has already asked him to buy 45 cows, [-] cows, and [-] bulls .He couldn't help but said: "Crown Princess, there are already four cows in the farm, even if we want to expand the cultivated land, we don't need fifty cows."

"It's not for farming." Lin Qiu said.

Zhang De'er was taken aback, it wasn't for farming, could it be that he wanted to kill and eat meat?The state of Daliang forbids private killing of farm cattle. If the princess really wants to raise cattle for meat, the court will not be able to fall out.Lin Qiu didn't pay any attention to him, but asked Madam Liu to take out two gold cakes each weighing five taels, and gave him a "shopping list", and waved him to go down, Zhang De'er was surprised Looking at the things on the list, I started to feel dizzy.

Fifty cows, two hundred chickens, one hundred ducks, some pig iron...

The list is extremely detailed, including how many males and how many females, where they were produced, and their ages. There are also drawings of cattle pens and chicken coops at the back.

The animal husbandry industry in Daliang State is extremely primitive. It is said to raise chickens. Farmers use bamboo and wood chips to make a random circle in their yards. They release the chickens during the day and drive them back at night. If there is any surplus food, they will feed two handfuls. Bugs or wild vegetables in the wild.The same is true for ducks, but they put a fence around the river, put them in the river during the day, and come back at night.As for cows, there are really few. A village can be considered rich if it has two cows.

It is absolutely unheard of for Lin Qiu to buy fifty cows at once.

Don't think about it if you don't understand it, as long as you get things done, Zhang De'er has lived in the palace for so many years, and Zhang De'er knows very well that the person who thinks the most often dies the fastest. Those who don't understand, as long as they do things, they can live.I am most afraid of those who are self-righteous if they can't figure it out, then they are really courting death.

Here Zhang De'er left with a troubled expression on his face, while Liang Xi came back with his boomerang on his back full of joy.Yes, he came back with a boomerang on his back. It was a giant boomerang that was more than half a meter long and weighed about eleven or two catties. It was specially used for hunting.

Ever since Lin Qiu told him that boomerangs were first used as hunting tools, Liang Xi ran to the carpenter to make more than a dozen boomerangs, big and small, with the big bag on his forehead. I picked up three, one was only the size of a palm, and it was used to beat birds on the tree.The length of an arm and a half, specially designed to deal with small beasts.This one, which is more than half a meter long, actually hunted a small deer today.If it wasn't for his lack of strength, Liang Xi would really like to make another oversized boomerang to fight wild boars and wolves.

"If only I had the strength of your second brother." Liang Xi sat on the chair and poured two cups of tea in a row.It's May, and the weather is getting warmer and warmer. Although Lin Qiu still wears a thin cotton vest, Liang Xi finds it too hot to wear unlined clothing.

Lin Qiu glanced at him and said, "Second brother is born with supernatural powers, you can't do it."

Hearing this, Liang Xi's face was a little dull, but he was not angry. He just remembered how Lin Yue broke a plum blossom pile with one kick, and sighed: "I don't expect to beat your second brother. , I heard that he can kill a wild boar with one punch, and if I want to face a wild boar with my bare hands, I have to run."

Lin Qiu thought for a while and said, "It's easy for you to defeat the wild boar."

"Ah?" Liang Xi's face darkened, and he said, "Don't you want me to practice?" He thought of the hard days at the border again.

Lin Qiu shook his head and said, "It's not drill, it's exercise."

Liang Xi curled his lips and said, "There's no difference at all."

Lin Qiu shook his head again and said, "There is a difference, you can practice while playing."

"How about exercising?" Liang Xi finally became interested.

Ten days later, a physical training ground made of stones, wood, bamboo rafts and ropes was completed, including rock climbing, single-plank bridges, low pile nets, rope bridges, grass skiing... covering an area of ​​more than 20 acres, some of which are surrounded by mountains. Some of them are purely artificial.

Liang Xi spent half a day trying everything, grinning so happily that he was almost silly, such a big "playground" was specially designed and built for him, even if he was once very popular The favored youngest son of the emperor is now the prince of Daliang, but he has never received such a big "gift", ah!The sun is so bright, the flowers are so red, the trees are so green, even Li Taifu's black face is so black and beautiful!

Looking at Liang Xi's smirking face, Mrs. Li began to reflect, whether he was so strict that Liang Xi couldn't bear the pressure and went crazy.

However, Liang Xi was not happy for a few days.

When the cattle pens and chicken coops were set up, and the bought cattle and chickens were settled one after another, the emperor's orders came from riding a fast horse, ordering the prince to return to the palace.

Even if he didn't want to, Liang Xi didn't dare to disobey his father's order, so he could only bid farewell to the newly built training ground with a sad face, and handed three boomerangs to Lin Qiu to keep them safe, and come back to play when he has a chance , Then red-eyed and Li Taifu went back to Beijing.

Liang Xi, who had been having fun all this time, didn't think about Sichuan. He didn't know that during the month they left Beijing, several major events happened in the court.

The first thing is that a concubine died.It stands to reason that the life and death of a concubine in the harem is nothing more than normal, and it is not a big deal at all.It's just that this concubine's identity is different. Her surname is Chen, and she is the younger sister of Chen Haofu, the head of the Chen family of the four major families in Daliang Kingdom, and she is just pregnant.

In the past, a pregnant concubine died due to miscarriage and other things. Liang Honglie didn't pay much attention to it, but now it's different. He only has one son. If something happens to this son, it will really end. Recently, Whenever he is free, he goes to the harem to work hard, hoping to have a few more sons.But after all, I am getting old, and sometimes my physical strength and energy can't keep up. Finally, the news came from the Tai Hospital that Concubine Chen was pregnant, but he was very happy. Who knew that Concubine Chen drowned inexplicably within a few days? He died in the lotus pond in his small courtyard.

Liang Honglie was so furious when he heard the news that he threw the table directly.

who is it? !Who is so bold as to dare to harm the heirs of the Tian family!check!You must check me hard!

Within a few days, the little eunuch who pushed Concubine Chen down the lotus pond was found, but he had already committed suicide by taking poison.

Although the murderer is dead, the matter is not over, because the little eunuch belonged to Concubine Song's palace, and at this moment, another maid came out and said that the concubines who died due to tire slippage in the past were the hands of Concubine Song .

At first, Liang Honglie didn't believe what the court lady said. Concubine Song was the daughter of the former great general Song Zixu.However, the maids produced evidence, a large book records how Concubine Song asked her natal family to send miscarriage medicine into the palace, how she bought eunuchs, how the maids administered the medicine, and how those court ladies and eunuchs were eliminated afterwards.

Liang Honglie only turned over a few pages before overturning the desk again. The woman he had always respected was so vicious and ruthless.

With a decree, Chaozhong immediately fell out.
