After dressing as a villain, I am addicted to farming

"So I will also do these things that my father did in the future?"

"That's right, but what should you do if you can't do it?" Qu Zhong rubbed the top of his head and asked softly, "Do you want those common people to go out to work hungry every day?"

"..."

can't do...

This sentence was like a thunderbolt ringing above Qu Yongsi's head. After pondering over the sentence repeatedly, he could only come to one conclusion...that is to change it to another person.

"Change, change to someone else who can do it!" In the end, he pouted and lowered his head.

"So, strictly speaking, what your mother said is correct. If you can't do it, the emperor can only find someone who can do it to protect the people."

Qu Zhong sighed, finished this cruel but also factual sentence, saw tears dripping from the child's drooping head, he hugged the child on his knees and continued, "How do you know you can't do it until you haven't done it. "

"But I don't know anything. I can't even memorize the homework taught by the Taifu."

"You memorize one more word every day than yesterday. My father thinks this is progress. Then one day you will memorize them all."

After all, he was still a three-year-old child, Qu Zhong just continued to talk about his topic, and finally smiled and kissed the top of his head: "Whether you are the prince or not, I am your father, we are father and son, and we are heaven." The closest relationship below."

Qu Yongsi didn't hear clearly what Qu Zhong said about the homework, he only felt a warmth coming from his head, this intimate movement made him forget to cry, he just looked up at Qu Zhong's chin in a daze, All I can think of is that sentence... the closest relationship in the world.

The two father and son talked warmly for a long time in the imperial study, from the corruption in the imperial court to the grassland scenery of Linmo Kingdom, and suddenly they jumped to the black noodles that the common people eat most, the feeling of getting stuck in the throat Zhong can still remember clearly now.

Speaking of which, he also asked the imperial dining room to cook an authentic farm meal and send it to the study as dinner for the two of them.

Qu Yongsi ate with relish the clear soup with little water and the burning feeling in his throat, just because the person he admired the most was eating with full concentration and did not show any disgust at all.

In the whole hall, Lai Fu was the saddest person. He has served Qu Zhong by his side since he was born. He should be regarded as the person who knows him best in the whole palace. At this moment, seeing the two most noble people in Zhufeng Kingdom eating such a vulgar thing , I couldn't help but have a sore nose.

... In order to educate the prince, the emperor really paid a lot.

It wasn't until after dinner that Qu Zhong sent Laifu to send Qu Yongsi back to the Queen's Palace, and at the same time brought a piece of his oral order.

All the princes above the age of three in the palace moved to live in the Hall of Harmony, and from then on the education of the princes was all carried out by Qu Zhong himself.

Concubine Jing was very active in this regard. As soon as the oral order was delivered, she immediately packed up her things and sent Qu Yongyi to the Hall of Harmony. On the contrary, the empress had some troubles. The study came to see you.

"Tell Zhang Jingwan, if you make trouble again, don't blame me for being rude to her."

Qu Zhong didn't even bother to waste time with her, he directly recruited Laifu to send him away forcibly, and then sent someone to investigate the recent movements of Zhang's family, which was like putting Zhang's family on the bright side.

...Since they want power, then cut their power.

***

the second day of March

As soon as the rice plantation started in a hurry two years later was completed, Qu Zhong led the two brothers Qu Yongsi here in person, followed by a carriage covered with black oilcloth.

The entrance of the plantation was built next to the kitchen of the Ministry of Industry, and only a small plaque was used to write two characters. The depressed one is exactly the same as the Ministry of Industry's style.

When Qu Zhong arrived, Gong Liang and two skinny young men were squatting by the wall basking in the sun, and the three of them were constantly fiddling with a pile of wooden utensils.

"What are you fiddling with?"

The wooden utensil was in the shape of a cone, and there were several small sticks interspersed in it. Qu Zhong saw this thing at a glance, raised his hand to avoid the kneeling of several people, and then asked aloud.

"Reporting to the emperor, this is an object that the ministers are developing. It is used to sow seeds. In the future, you don't have to bend over."

When his favorite thing was mentioned, Gong Liang immediately became more talkative. Not only did he introduce it, but he also demonstrated it to him himself.

Put the seeds into the cone barrel, just shake the small stick at the upper end, and a few seeds will immediately pop out from the small hole below you. Although it is simple, it is really labor-saving.

Qu Zhong nodded, and encouraged Gong Haohao with a smile: "Ai Qing has such a wonderful idea, I am so relieved."

Although these gadgets seem insignificant in the modern world, each of their inventions is a bit of progress in the world, and of course they should be encouraged.

Gong Liang and the others showed simple and honest smiles on their faces, and they patted their heads embarrassedly with their rough palms. They didn't expect that the current Holy Majesty would turn out to be so calm-faced and heart-beating when he said good things.

"I am frightened."

"Okay, don't panic, come and take a look at the seeds I brought, it seems that it is also the season for sowing."

Turning sideways to reveal the frame behind him that was just lifted out by the guards, Qu Zhong smiled and waved for several people to come forward to have a look.

These baskets contained the genetically modified rice seeds he bought from PP World, and they were also the crops that needed to be tested this time.

The black cloth covering the frame was removed, revealing the scorched yellow rice seeds inside. Compared with ordinary wheat, these seeds were much darker in color, as if they had been fried in a pot.

"Why is this rice seed so colorful?"

Even Gong Liang, who had never been in the fields, could see something was wrong at this moment. He held out a handful and observed them carefully for a long time, then smelled them and asked suspiciously based on his vague memory.

"This is a seed I got by accident. It is said that the rice grown from this rice can produce about fifteen shi per acre."

"Fifteen shi?" Gong Liang was shocked. He occasionally went to the grain store with his mother to ask the price of the polished rice. One shi was sold for two taels of silver. Throwing away the chaff, only one mu of land could produce ten shi of rice. , then calculated in this way, farmers can earn at least 20 taels of silver per mu of land.

What does this 20 taels mean? This is the ten-year income of ordinary farmers. Some poor people may not see so much silver in their entire lives.

If this rice can be planted successfully, what will it be like for the people of Zhufeng...

He didn't dare to think about it!

Thinking of this, Gong Liang shook his body involuntarily, and his expression immediately became serious. He carefully put down the rice seeds, only waiting for Qu Zhong to give him a positive answer.

"Yes, as for whether it is more than fifteen stones or less than fifteen stones, it depends on your ability, Aiqing."

A glazed room of about ten square meters was built near the gate. While talking to several people, Qu Zhong directed the guards to move the seeds into the house.

These seeds are produced by PP World, which saves the steps of drying and selecting seeds, and can now go directly to the step of soaking seeds.

"Your majesty, you can tell the old minister to do it, and the old minister will do his best to complete it."

"Ai Qing, you are worrying too much. As long as I follow my method, the rice will surely grow."

Maybe it was the harvest that he said just now that frightened the Shangshu, Qu Zhong couldn't help but burst out laughing with this face of bowing to death, and Gong Liang, who was laughing straight away, blinked his eyes inexplicably and then stopped. .

"Ha ha"

Rubbing his face vigorously, Qu Zhong took out the detailed planting plan that he had written long ago from his arms and handed it to Gong Liang.

It records in detail the planting methods needed next and the treatment methods for several pests that may be encountered. Finally, several fertilization methods and precautions are also written.

The content was written in great detail, so when it was handed over to Gong Liang, it was a thick book with Qu Zhong's personal seal stamped on the cover.

"You take the selected people to read this book carefully, and ask me anytime if you don't understand anything."

There are still a pile of memorials to be approved in the imperial study, and Qu Zhong can't stay here any longer. After handing over the books to Gong Liang, he plans to get up and drive back to the study.

"Father, can I stay and watch?"

Unexpectedly, Qu Yongyi pulled Qu Zhong's clothes with excitement, and became very interested in those scorched rice.

"It's okay, but you can't hinder the ministers from doing things."

"My son knows, my son will be obedient."

"Then you and the palace people who serve you stay here."

He was still thinking about how to discover his interest in this son who was so dull in his mouth last night, but he didn't expect this little guy to be interested in farming.

Seeing the cheering figure running away, Qu Zhong shook his head with a smile, took Qu Yongsi by the hand, got into the chariot and left.

Huazi's lethargy has been getting longer and longer in the past two days. If it weren't for its steady breath, Qu Zhong would even suspect that it was poisoned, so without the white tiger for transportation, he can only travel by chariot every day.

And Huazi, who was read by Qu Zhong, was sleeping behind the dragon bed in the sleeping hall at the moment, her whole body was enveloped by bursts of silver light.

Just after returning to the imperial study, Jiang Zhengyuan and Liu Xiong were waiting outside the hall, waiting to see him.

"What do you two lovers want to report?"

After waving his hand to reject the hot tea offered by Laifu, Qu Zhong sat down with his robe in his hands, and then cast his eyes on the two people who looked unhappy.

These days the court was peaceful, and the two of them hadn't appeared in the imperial study for a long time, so when he saw them the first time, he knew that something difficult must have happened outside the court.

"The minister is ineffective, and I ask the emperor to punish him."

Before he could say what happened, Liu Xiong knelt down on the ground with a plop, even his straight back was a little bit bent, and his face was full of remorse.

"How will I punish you if you don't tell me what happened."

"minister……"

It turned out that this incident was caused by the snowstorm last winter. At that time, Liu Xiong took care of it with confidence. Qu Zhong didn't know how to do it. It's just that the official memorial to the court was good news.

He not only prevented the continued casualties caused by the snowstorm, but also appeased the victims very well, and finally distributed two taels of silver to each household as money for rebuilding the house.

These were some of the best things for the common people, but these two taels of silver caused many troubles.

The decree issued by the imperial court is that people can go to the county government to get the money according to the household, but when they arrive at the local county government, their taste gradually changes. The interest of one or two taels of silver will be repaid in the coming year.

The people all thought that this was the imperial court's will, and no one dared to raise any objections.

It wasn't until a scholar who entered Fenghe County and failed the exam returned to his village that this matter was exposed.
