Abandoned Prince Survival Guide

After the ship sailed, Xiao Yu announced that all the workshops would stop working and take a break. Some time ago, everyone worked overtime to catch up with the goods. They were so busy day and night that they were exhausted. Now they can finally stop and have a good rest.

He plans to use this time to build a warehouse.Regarding the location of the warehouse, Xiao Yu and Pei Linzhi discussed it, and decided to build it outside the courtyard, not only as a warehouse, but also as a rain gear factory. Xiao Yu also planned to move the porcelain workshop there.

The current porcelain workshop and porcelain kiln are in front of the old house, although it is a little distance from the house, but when the weather is hot, the heat is steaming, especially when it is very difficult to have classes in the courtyard at night, Xiao Yu has long wanted to move it away.

Pei Linzhi agreed with Xiao Yu's plan: "When the new kiln is built, all the ones here will be demolished. There are more and more people, and a big yard is needed."

Xiao Yu thought for a while: "The kiln can be demolished, but the house should be kept as a silkworm house and a weaving workshop. It is better for the women to work closer to their homes, which is safer."

Pei Linzhi suggested: "It's better to build another two-story building next to the house in the north, let the old man and the group of children live there, and use the old house as a silkworm house and weaving workshop."

Xiao Yu smiled wryly: "You have a good idea, but you have no money."

"It won't cost too much." Pei Linzhi told him, "We have blue bricks and lime, and tiles can be exchanged with bricks and lime from tile pawnshops. The cost is mainly the mason's wages. Paper workshops and iron workshops There is still output, which can be fully supplied.”

Xiao Yu thought it was feasible: "Just do as you say. However, ironware cannot be sold in Zhoucheng, so as not to attract the attention of the government."

Pei Linzhi said, "I'll lead people to sell directly in the villages."

"Okay, tell them, let's focus on farming tools and kitchen utensils now."

"I will go to Longhu Mountain tomorrow."

"I'll take a look too, I haven't been there for a long time."

"Lang Jun's feet—"

"My feet are fine, I'm fine."

"OK then."

The next day coincided with the ten-day break, and there was no class, Xiao Yu and Pei Linzhi drove the carriage out early in the morning, and brought Ji Hai with them.Because the carriage cannot go up the mountain, people need to stay at the foot of the mountain to watch the carriage.

It's only March, spring is coming to an end, and there is a faint breath of summer.The forests in the mountains are verdant, and different greens are intertwined into a splash-ink landscape painting. The birds in the forest sing one after another, singing to each other, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

Xiao Yu hasn't gone far for a long time, now he is leaving the nest like a little beast, his small steps are indescribably joyful.Pei Linzhi followed him closely: "Sir, slow down, your foot will heal."

Xiao Yu waved his hand: "It's okay, my feet have been cured a long time ago, and they don't hurt at all. The injuries in the past few months are not in vain. Wow snake—" In the next second, Xiao Yu turned around and ran, directly He ran into Pei Linzhi's arms behind him.

Before Pei Linzhi could react, someone was hanging on his body.Xiao Yu wrapped his hands and feet around him like an octopus: "There are snakes and there are snakes, such big snakes! Go, go!"

Pei Lin subconsciously hugged the man tightly, and looked up. On the branch across the mountain road in front of him, a big black-brown snake with a thick wrist was entangled on it, with its head drooping, and it didn't know what it was doing while spit out a letter.

Pei Linzhi retreated a few steps holding Xiao Yu in his arms, and said, "Don't be afraid, sir, I will shoot him down."

Xiao Yu squinted one eye and glanced back, his scalp was still numb: "Don't shoot, just hit it with a stick and drive it away. All things have spirits, try to kill as little as possible."

Pei Linzhi raised his eyebrows and said with great interest, "I usually hunt quite a few rabbits and goats."

Xiao Yu said seriously: "The reason for hunting rabbits and goats is because we want to eat their meat and use their fur. But killing the snake is useless, it just blocks our way."

Pei Linzhi nodded: "Lang Jun is right."

He didn't let Xiao Yu go, he looked down and saw a stone on the side of the road, he picked it up with his toes, threw it up, caught it with his hand, and then threw the stone onto the branch quickly and mercilessly.

The branches vibrated suddenly, the big black snake was frightened, quickly drooped, fell to the ground, and swam towards the grass.

Pei Linzhi hugged Xiao Yu and quickly walked across the range.

Xiao Yu asked in a panic, "Has the snake gone?"

"Let's go." After walking a long way, Pei Linzhi replied.

Xiao Yu let out a long breath: "That's good. Thank you Linzhi, let me down."

Only then did he realize that he was being held in Pei Linzhi's arms like a child, his arms were wrapped around his neck, his legs were wrapped around his waist, his posture was extremely ambiguous, and his ears turned red all of a sudden.

Pei Linzhi said: "Your Majesty is not important."

Xiao Yu straightened his body: "Then I can't let you carry me away."

"I'll carry you on my back, you just recovered from your foot injury, so don't walk too much." Pei Linzhi said.

Xiao Yu made the best choice: "I haven't felt any discomfort yet, if I feel any discomfort, please trouble Rin to carry me."

Hearing what he said, Pei Linzhi really let him go.

This time Xiao Yu didn't dare to hold his head high and rush forward, and followed Pei Lin's back obediently, fearing that he would run into a snake again.Spring is the season for snakes and rats to come out of their holes. This is the most common thing in the mountains. The animal he fears the most is snakes. He is born in Yazhou and rarely sees them throughout the year.

Seeing him like this, Pei Linzhi just had fun.

After climbing a mountain, Xiao Yu was finally tired, so Pei Linzhi climbed the second mountain with him on his back.Still on the mountainside, he saw the busy tea pickers in the valley. Xiao Yu excitedly rolled his hands into a trumpet and yelled loudly: "Hey! Tea pickers, how are you?"

Pei Linzhi's ears were almost deafened, only then did he realize that His Highness's voice could still be so bright, so he could only tilt his head to one side as much as possible, and let him make trouble as much as he wanted.

Xiao Yu's voice echoed in the valley, attracting the attention of many people. Some children who were picking tea heard his call and responded loudly.

Xiao Yu laughed loudly: "They responded to me. If I can sing the love song of Chashan, it would be very suitable to sing a song right now."

With a smile on his face, Pei Linzhi quickly walked down the mountain with His Highness, who was carrying a childish expression on his back.As soon as he arrived at the foot of the mountain, someone came to greet him, and Ju Yan smiled all over his face: "I knew it was the benefactor."

Xiao Yu got off Pei Linzhi's back and touched Ju Yan's head: "Little Ju Yan, how are you? Here, I'll give you some candy." He took out the candied fruit he made from Pei Linzhi's bag and handed it to Ju Yan.

Ju Yan took the oiled paper bag, opened it, and immediately smiled, showing his missing front teeth: "Thank you benefactor."

Xiao Yu laughed loudly: "The front teeth fell out, and the words leaked out."

Ju Yan covered his mouth with his hands: "Go to my house for lunch, my uncle went to the mine and hasn't come back yet."

Xiao Yu did not refuse: "Okay." He hadn't been there for several months, and he really wanted to see if there was any change in the village.

Ju Yan hugged the paper bag and said, "I'll go and talk to my mother first."

Xiao Yu shouted from behind: "Ju Yan, slow down, be careful not to fall."

"No." Ju Yantou replied without answering, running fast with bare feet.

Xiao Yu turned to Pei Linzhi and said, "Let's go to the tea garden first."

Pei Linzhi nodded, and the two walked towards the tea garden in the valley.The tea trees planted last year, bathed in spring and rain, are growing vigorously and sprouting new buds. The Sai women, with bamboo baskets tied around their waists, pick tea leaves deftly. When they see them coming, they stop and smile at them.

Xiao Yu knew that Ju Mo had assigned tasks to each family, and each family took turns to pick tea, and then gathered at Ju Mo to fry it, and after selling the money, they would share it equally.

So he never defaulted on Ju Mo's tea money, and bought it at the market price so that he could distribute the money to the people in the village.Only in this way, people in the village will look forward to this change and work harder to pick and grow tea when they see that their hard work has paid off.

Next to the tea garden, there is a row of tea tree seedlings that have been successfully cut. Within three years, the entire valley will become a tea forest, and it will be able to develop on the hillside in the future.

Even if the Sai people have no iron mines in the future, they can still rely on tea farming for generations, because no matter what age, tea has never withdrawn from people's lives.

Pei Linzhi looked at the tea saplings all over the ground, and at the busy tea pickers, and suddenly said, "Mr. Lang may have changed the way of life of Sai people for generations."

Xiao Yu turned to look at him, and said with a smile, "Will you?"

Pei Linzhi looked into his eyes and nodded: "Yes. It is better to teach a man how to fish than to give him a fish. You did it. Sairen should always be grateful to you."

Xiao Yu was embarrassed by the compliment: "I hope they can manage the tea garden well."

Ju Yan's calf ran so fast, Xiao Yu just came out of the tea garden, he had already ran to the entrance of the stockade to greet him, he stretched out his hand to hold Xiao Yu's hand: "Benefactor, come to my house, my mother made delicious food."

Xiao Yu followed him through the entire Sairen Village, walking all the way, felt that there was not much change from last time, but felt that something had changed.

Ju Yan said it was delicious, but his mother cooked glutinous rice and stewed a pot of broth. Compared with the first time I came here to eat raw meat, this is indeed a huge improvement.

Ju Yan sent them home, turned around and went out again.This kid is so energetic, there is no time to calm down.

Ju Yan's mother divided the stewed broth into several porcelain bowls, and Xiao Yu noticed that these bowls were gifts from Ju Mo himself when he went to his house.

As soon as the soup was served, Ju Yan quickly ran into the house: "Benefactor, I called Uncle back."

Seeing Xiao Yu and Pei Linzhi, Ju Mo was obviously very happy: "Welcome, Mr. Xiao is healed?"

Xiao Yu said with a smile: "Thank you, Master Ju, for your concern. I'm ready. I haven't been to the village for a long time, so I came to see you. Ju Yanfei invited me to eat at your house. I can't refuse the kindness, so I have to bother you."

Ju Mo came over and patted Xiao Yu's shoulder: "It's time to have a meal. If Ah Yan hadn't come to tell me, I would have eaten there at noon, so forgive me for not being well received."

Xiao Yu smiled: "Don't say that, I'm also here temporarily. I'm causing you trouble."

Ju Mo said with a smile: "Then let's all sit down and eat."

So everyone sat down to eat, this time it was hot rice and hot soup, which was warm in the stomach.

While eating and chatting, Ju Mo sincerely expressed his gratitude to Xiao Yu. Since the beginning of tea picking, the poorest Sai people can get a share of the money, and they can buy salt, rice, and sell cloth, etc. Is very grateful.

"Actually, the people they should thank are you, and this is all thanks to you." Jumer said.

Xiao Yu waved his hand: "No, this is all the result of your own hard work in growing tea and picking tea. I should thank you. Thank you for your willingness to assist me."

Ju Mo said: "In the future, if Mr. Xiao Lang has anything to do, just ask him, and the son in our village will do his best to help you."

Xiao Yu hurriedly said: "Master Juzhai is serious. This is a win-win cooperation."

Pei Linzhi said, "Then thank the village master."

The host and guest enjoyed the meal.After eating, Ju Mo said: "Ayan, go get some spring water to make tea." Since they had tea, they also learned to make tea.

"Okay." Ju Yan quickly picked up a big bamboo tube and left.

Seeing his nephew's back disappearing outside the door, Ju Mo said, "I have something I want to ask Xiao Langjun for help, but I don't know if I should say it or not."

Xiao Yu said: "The owner of the village is so polite, you just say, as long as I can help, I will definitely help."

Ju Mo hesitated for a moment, and said: "I want to send Ah Yan to Xiao Langjun's house to study and read. I wonder if Xiao Langjun is willing to help me with this."

Xiao Yu was very surprised: "Juzhai mainly put Ju Yan in my house?"

Ju Mo nodded: "Yes, he can't be like me. He can't read a single character. He will be the next patriarch of the village. In the future, the village will have more and more contacts with the outside world. I hope he will be more familiar with the situation outside before he can lead A better life for our people."

Xiao Yu was surprised by his vision and admired his courage. He was willing to take the initiative to contact the outside world. Without much hesitation, he said, "Okay, I agree."

Pei Linzhi looked at Xiao Yu in surprise. Last time the King of Yue wanted to send the child over, he strongly opposed it, but this time Ju Mo wanted to send his nephew, he agreed without saying a word. Why?

Before leaving the village to go to the mine, Xiao Yu drank tea made from mountain spring water, not to mention, the mountain spring water was much sweeter than the tea made from their seaside well water.

He remembered that a famous cross talk actor only used Yuquan mountain spring water to make tea, and suddenly he understood a little bit.But he definitely can't do something like letting someone run so far to get water to make tea for himself. Different water has different tastes.

After crossing the mountains to the iron mine, the craftsmen are burning the fire to smelt iron in full swing. The red molten iron is flowing in the donkey.

Everyone was very happy to see Xiao Yu coming.Xiao Yu brought them some candied fruit and soy sauce, the meat and vegetables were all provided by Ju Mo, and the food was also sent down the mountain regularly by them, and Sai Ren carried it in.

They don't lack anything here, but they rarely see outsiders, and they feel a little bored.

But this time Xiao Yu brought good news to everyone. Starting today, he can rest for a few days, and he will be able to go back with them in a while.

Everyone was very excited to hear the news, but they still smelted the molten iron responsibly.

Except for the ironware needed by Sairen, the scissors and knives that were beaten later did not give Sairen any money, because they had not been sold yet and the price was unknown. Ju Mo expressed his willingness to wait for the ship to come back before distributing the money.

The farm tools and knives that Xiao Yu brought back this time can be divided as long as they are all sold.

When leaving, Pei Linzhi and the blacksmiths in the village took the farm tools and knives out of the mountain and put them on the carriage.

Xiao Yu asked Ju Mo who came to see him off: "When are you going to send Ju Yan to my place?"

Ju Mo said: "I haven't told their mother and son about this yet. In a few days, when you bring food over again, I will take him along the way."

Xiao Yu nodded: "Okay, let's go back first."

There were three people when they came, and there were more than ten people when they returned. The carriage definitely couldn't fit, only Xiao Yu sat on it, Pei Linzhi drove the horse, and walked with the others.

Pei Linzhi finally asked the doubt in his heart: "Why did Mr. Lang agree to let Ju Yan come to our house? Aren't you afraid it will be a trouble?"

Xiao Yu said, "If it's troublesome, I must agree."

"Mr. Lang is worried about offending Ju Mo?"

Xiao Yu shook his head: "No, no, it's because of Ju Yan's status. Do you know why since the Qin Dynasty established prefectures and counties in Yazhou, the county and state capitals have not been established on the main island of Yazhou?"

Pei Linzhi asked, "Why?"

"Because the natives of Yazhou did not obey the control of the Han court, I don't know how many times the native riots broke out since ancient times. Every time, they killed all the Han officials and forced the court to send troops to suppress them. Repeatedly, both sides suffered heavy losses. How many lives Died here. The root cause of all is the ignorance and mistrust between each other. Now Ju Mo took the initiative to send his nephew to learn the culture and history of our Han people. Don't you think this is the best opportunity?" Xiao Yu Tilting his head, he squinted at Pei Linzhi.

Pei Linzhi looked at him: "You mean, let them recognize our culture?"

Xiao Yu snapped his fingers: "Yes, our Han culture is the most inclusive culture. From the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties to the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, and then through the Qin and Han Dynasties to the present, I don't know how many different cultures and foreign races have been fused to form the current Han people and Han culture. .Only by turning them into our own people can we all live in harmony. Don’t you think so?”

Pei Linzhi's scalp was a little numb, and he seemed to have heard an extremely crucial point: "Your Majesty, what you mean is that the northern Hu people should also use our culture to integrate them?"

Xiao Yu smiled and nodded: "Yes. Expulsion and force suppression are not the best way to solve the problem. There will only be a tug-of-war between the two sides. The only way is to integrate foreign races and turn them into our own. War and disputes will disappear."

"But those barbarians are ambitious and have killed so many of our compatriots. Should we accept them as our own?" Ji Hai, who had been listening quietly, asked suddenly.

Xiao Yu turned his head to look at Ji Hai, and his smile became more intense. He didn't seem to realize that he himself had been completely integrated into the Han culture, and he even forgot that he was originally a native of Yazhou.

Xiao Yu said: "Hu people kill our compatriots, and we also kill Hu people's compatriots. When is it time to repay the grievances, the best way to solve the problem is to stop and shake hands and make peace."

Pei Linzhi said: "It is impossible for the Hu people to shake hands with us and make peace."

Xiao Yu said: "Then beat them until they are unable to fight back, and then intermarry with different ethnic groups through cultural education, and slowly integrate them. It requires both grace and power."

Pei Linzhi thought of another possibility: "But what if we Han people are defeated by the Hu people? Wouldn't we Han people be educated by the Hu people?"

Xiao Yu shook his head: "No, because the Hu people's culture is far less advanced than our Han culture, culture and civilization will only be the conquest of the advanced and the assimilation of the backward, even if the Hu people conquer the Han people by force, but culturally, they will eventually be defeated. Han culture conquered. We must have this confidence.” He has already witnessed such a fact.

Pei Linzhi said: "So the key to the problem is to fight."

Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows: "Of course, without war, there can be no peace. The ultimate goal of war is for peace, not for plunder."

Pei Linzhi turned his head to look at Xiao Yu with a smile on his face, his heart was surging. His Highness's views on war and rule are so clear and profound, who would dare to say that he is not suitable to be a monarch.

Only His Royal Highness is the wise king who can realize the unification of the world, so that the people of the world can live and work in peace and contentment, and all ethnic groups can integrate and coexist harmoniously.

A few days later, Pei Linzhi and the blacksmith who had finished their vacation returned to Longhu Mountain with grain, and sent Ju Mo the money for selling farm tools this time.

These agricultural tools are sold at a price lower than one-third of the market price, which is very sought-after, but many people still cannot afford them.

Xiao Yu actually wanted to sell it cheaper. After all, only with iron farm tools can the productivity be liberated.But if it is cheaper, I am afraid that word of mouth will spread, and the government may eventually be alarmed.

When Pei Linzhi came back, Ju Mo led Ju Yan, who had never been out of the mountains, and came with him.Ju Yan was wearing the new coarse cloth clothes his mother made for him, and he looked at the strange environment and the strange people very uneasy. It turned out that the benefactor lived in such a tall and bright house, and there were so many children in his family.

Xiao Yu stretched out his hand and touched his head: "Ju Yan, you can live in my house from now on, I have many children who are about your age here, and they will all become your friends."

Ju Yan looked at his uncle anxiously: "Uncle, will you stay too?"

Ju Mo put his hands on his shoulders: "Uncle, there are still a village of people who need to be taken care of, so you can't stay here. From now on, you will live at Xiao Langjun's house. He has many interesting things to do here, and he has so many partners. Ah Uncle will come to see you in a few days."

Ju Yan finally realized that he was going to be separated from his relatives, with tears in his eyes: "Then when can I see my mother?"

"Mother can also come to see you. You have to listen to Xiao Langjun here, and when you learn the skills, you can go home." Ju Mo reached out to wipe away the tears of his nephew, and pressed the child's head on his body forward.

Ju Yan began to cry.

Ju Mo smiled helplessly at Xiao Yu: "It's the first time I leave home, and I can't get used to it."

Xiao Yu nodded: "I understand, the child is so young, it's fine, just take it easy. Ju Yan is a very brave child, and he will definitely get used to living here."

Pei Linzhi said: "Ju Yan, don't cry. When I deliver the food, I can take you back."

Hearing this, Ju Yan turned to look at Pei Linzhi: "Really?"

Xiao Yu said: "Yes, you can go back with Pei Langjun, visit your mother and uncle, and then follow Pei Langjun back."

Ju Yan was sure that he could go back in the future, so he was not so sad, and silently wiped away his tears with his sleeve.

In this way, Ju Yan stayed at Xiao Yu's house.

Xiao Yu arranged for him to live with Ji Hai. Ji Shan has gone to sea, and now Ji Hai has a room alone. With him taking care of Ju Yan, Ju Yan must be able to adapt as soon as possible.

Early the next morning after Ju Yan arrived, Ji Hai quietly reported to Xiao Yu that the child had been crying for half the night, but Ji Hai was useless in comforting him, and finally fell asleep after crying tired.

After crying for three days in a row, I never cried again.Every morning, he goes to exercise with Ji Hai and attends class together in the morning. He actually doesn't understand, because the progress is a bit far behind other children.

In the afternoon, Xiao Yu will take time to teach him alone, so that he can catch up with everyone's progress as soon as possible.

In less than seven days, he had fully adapted to the life here, and he had returned to his previous cheerfulness, climbing up and down like a monkey with endless energy, causing many ironic things to happen.

In the afternoon of this day, Xiao Yu was making up lessons for Ju Yan. When Ju Yan was doing his homework, Xiao Yu couldn't help but fell asleep.

In the dimness, I suddenly heard Ju Yan shouting: "Wow, which doll is this, why are you in my house?"
