Bad Boy Farming

Diligent emperors don't have time to visit mountains and rivers, and it's not that Er Niu doesn't know this truth.So, the next day, he asked Qi Sheng to send the three children to the academy, and he called people to dig taro.

The emperor stared at Er Niu Busonglu's back and said thoughtfully, "He probably knows our identities."

"He's smarter than we imagined." Su Jiu said in a low voice, "The two people standing opposite Er Niu are Maverick's elder brothers. If Maverick doesn't follow him, it will be like that in ten years."

The emperor followed Su Jiu's fingers and saw that one of them had messy hair and his face looked like it hadn't been washed. Then he thought about the calf washing his face and hands before and after meals, and his body was spotless, "You didn't lie to me. Right? How can you eat something made by that kind of person?"

"How dare I lie to you. However, when they do things, they have to wear work clothes that Er Niu found someone to make. Both men and women have to wrap their hair with a scarf. Anyone who dares to do not follow Er Niu's instructions will be deducted money. Probably because I knew I didn’t have to go to work today, and I got up from the bed when I heard Erniu shouting to dig taro.”

The emperor shook his head, "No wonder Er Niu said that temper is raised. By the way, what about the calf?"

"That woman in a black singlet carrying a hoe and pushing hard towards Er Niu."

"Isn't she not waiting to see Erniu?" the emperor asked.

Su Jiu smiled, "No one in Zhangjia Village dares not wait to see Er Niu. Let's go, and listen to what that top quality is talking about."

Zhang Lanshi simply asked, "Erniu, how much is a catty of taro?"

"How much does Madam want to sell? Or have you found a buyer?"

Zhang Lan's face was embarrassed, "Hey, I don't have any buyers. I'm afraid that the taro won't be sold and stay at home."

"Keep it at home and eat it, it won't spoil, what's the hurry, auntie." Er Niu Laoshen said, "Hurry up and go to work, we have to catch the weather so that we can harvest the rice into the house."

"Hey, I haven't finished yet." Zhang Lanshi stopped Erniu.Su Jiu and the emperor subconsciously walked towards Er Niu.

Er Niu raised his eyelids, "Three thousand jars of preserved eggs will be produced next month, ma'am, any delay will be money."

"Ah?" Zhang Lanshi was startled, "Why didn't you say it earlier!" Then she looked around and saw a lot of people with their hips on their hips discussing how much taro they could harvest, so she shouted, "Hurry up! Hurry up!" Go live! Do a good job and make preserved eggs!"

Su Jiu paused, "Er Niu has a solution."

"Er Niu pinched the seven inches of this group of people." No wonder he is always so calm and calm, he is like a general who plans strategies when facing a group of messy rural women, "You said, if Er Niu participates in the imperial examination, it will be What's the situation?"

"Brother, don't think about it, Erniu likes Zhangjiacun. I chatted with some old men yesterday, and they said that Erniu wants to build Zhangjiacun into a happy village."

"What is happiness?" The emperor frowned.

"To end old, to be strong, to be useful in every household, to eat well, to wear clothes, and to have enough money to support their children's education." Su Jiudao, "This is the happiness in his eyes, and it is about to come true."

"That is not yet."

Su Jiudao, "Mother said that the name of preserved egg is indecent, and pine flower glazed egg is better. Brother, if I release this news, will the happiness that Erniu is looking forward to come earlier?"

The emperor pointed at him, "You are not afraid that Erniu will raise the cost of preserved eggs, making you unable to eat duck eggs."

"If he really does this, then he is not the second best I know." Su Jiu raised her eyebrows, "Do you want to make a bet?"

After the preserved egg was named by the queen mother, some people bought it even if the cost price was doubled. The emperor didn't believe Er Niu could give up so much money, "What bet?"

"If you lose, the bastard will give me half of your lotus seeds!"

"No!" The emperor has given out too many presents in his life, and this is the first time he has received a gift in return from a child, "Change it to something else."

"My little brother doesn't lack anything, so he thinks the lotus seeds are delicious." Su Jiu stared at the emperor, "If you don't want to bet with me, I'll tell Erniu your identity right now."

"Go ahead," said the emperor, "as long as you're not afraid of being kicked out by Er Niu as a madman!"

"Brother, do you know?" Su Jiu took out a token from his bosom, "He ate the guts of ambition!"

The emperor smiled slightly, "Those who don't know are innocent. If Erniu says he doesn't know how to read, what can you do? Don't forget, we still expect Erniu to teach everyone how to grow taro and lotus root."

Su Jiu gasped for breath, wishing to stretch out her hand and tear off the smile on the emperor's face, "Look at you happy, isn't it just that the little bastard gave you some lotus seeds, it's like you haven't seen anything before, it's not embarrassing!"

"Someone wants it yet." The emperor glanced at him and shouted loudly, "Er Niu, when will we finish harvesting the taro?"

The fisherman in troubled waters hurriedly stood up straight, "Er Niu, tell him this afternoon, we can definitely get it out this afternoon."

"I heard it, stop playing, I'll go home and cook." Er Niu said.

"Go, go, treat the guests well, and ask the price by the way."

As soon as this remark came out, Er Niu paused, "I don't want to hear the word money again!"

"Money is a good thing. A penny can stump a hero, so we're counting on you."

Er Niu's eyes darkened, and he gave everyone a helpless look, "Work hard, whoever is lazy will turn around and sell the taro, regardless of his money!" After speaking, he walked towards Su Jiu, "How much taro can you ask for?"

Su Jiu was talking about the emperor's stinginess, not even giving up a bit of lotus seeds, when she heard it, "One stone!"

Er Niu gave him a blank look, and looked at Su Ba, "You can also see how virtuous the people in our village are. If you can't ask for too much taro, I'll send a message to He Ping and ask him to send someone to fetch it."

The emperor said, "How much is [-] catties of taro?"

"I sold it to He Ping for three Wen a catty, so you can give it to me at that price."

"150 taels of silver?" Er Niu nodded, and the emperor turned his face and said, "Old Jiu, give me the money!"

"Why am I the one paying the money?" Su Jiu was not happy.

The emperor said, "You have money!"

Er Niu stretched out his hand to the guard behind him. The guard looked at the emperor and gave Er Niu three ingots of silver when he saw him nodding.

Immediately, Er Niu raised his hand and waved at everyone, "The taro has been sold, whoever fixes his own land first will get the money! Remember, if the taro skin is broken by you Now, if you don’t have [-] catties later, I don’t want Brother Su, and you have to return the money.” Er Niu turned around, “Let’s go back.”

"That's all right?" Seeing that he was so relieved, the emperor couldn't help but look back at the chattering crowd.

Er Niu said, "They are all good at work. During this period of time, everyone's life has improved and laziness has come out. After the taro was planted, I didn't see how they took care of it. Now they have so much money out of thin air. Why? happy."

"You know them well."

Er Niu shook his head, "I understand human nature."

The emperor looked at the children who passed by them and called them to drink water, "Do you understand them?"

Er Niu muttered, "Everyone is a good boy."

"Thank you, Uncle Er Niu." The child understood this sentence, saw Er Niu smiled at them, and immediately ran forward happily, and kept saying, "Uncle Er Niu praised me for being a good boy."

Er Niu shook his head and smiled, "The villagers are actually very simple. Their biggest wish is to have enough food and clothing. To put it bluntly, as long as their wish is fulfilled, they don't care who the emperor is."

There was a wry smile on the Lord's lips, "The world is so big, it's hard to be an emperor."

"No one is perfect, gold is never pure, let alone the world." Er Niu seemed to glance at Su Ba unintentionally, "I can understand this truth, but they don't."

Su Jiu and the emperor followed Er Niu's movements and turned their faces away, seeing several people playing with taro.Su Jiu frowned slightly, "Xiaomin!"

"You can't blame them." Er Niu said, "If they were sensible, they wouldn't play around when the guests hadn't left."

"You can say whatever you want," the emperor said, "don't worry."

Some things are not good to tell the truth. Seeing that the emperor didn't reveal his identity to him, Er Niu grinned and said, "I heard others say that the previous dynasty implemented a policy of fooling the people. I don't know what brother Su thinks about it."

"There are pros and cons to everything."

"I don't think it's beneficial." Er Niu paused, and Su Jiu's heart jumped up, "Don't stop! This is the first time I've heard someone dare to say that."

Er Niu said, "If you think like Brother Su today, he must think that the less the common people know, the better they can be controlled. In fact, it is not the case. Take my aunt as an example. She doesn't understand anything. You can't reason with her. It doesn't work, I can't catch her and give her a beating. Speaking of which, beating her is also a way, but there are so many people in the world, and they can't all be beaten, that way, it won't be long..."

He understood without mentioning Su Ba, "What do you mean?"

"Popularize knowledge."

"Popularize knowledge!" Su Jiu asked with wide eyes, "Popularize what?"

"The books you read when Mengmeng was enlightened." Er Niu said, "Don't worry about them discussing government affairs when they know more. The eyes of ordinary people are discerning. Maybe some people talk too much, so there is no need for the government to stop them and watch. The ordinary people can catch those who talk nonsense and beat them up. Besides, those officials and lords are not fools, and it is understandable to send someone to secretly guide the common people's thinking when necessary."

"Pfft!" Su Jiu burst out laughing, "You have so many fallacies."

Er Niuhun didn't care, "You guys told me to say it, what do I know as a farmer in the countryside." After speaking, he pushed open the door and saw the donkey cart in the yard, "Qi Sheng, why are you coming back so quickly?" gone?"

"The three of them know that you are going to dig taro today, so they insist on me coming back to help you." Qi Sheng held up the account book in his hand, "I don't have time."

"You're busy with your work." It took nearly two months for them to go to Qingzhou, and it was time for a pile of books to be piled up in the carpentry shop.

"By the way, Er Niu, the attitude of the master in the academy is so strange to me today." Qi Sheng put down the account book while talking, "I met the master before when I was taking them to school, but he pretended not to see me. I was trying to figure out how to explain to Master why the three of them haven’t been to the academy for so long, but Master actually said in a very reasonable way, ‘There’s nothing wrong with his family, he understands!’ Strange, isn’t it?”

"Did the master know my name?" Er Niu felt that this matter must have something to do with Su Jiu, otherwise the county magistrate would not have heard from him.

"What name do you have?" Su Jiu asked the guards to tell the county magistrate that Er Niu was under his cover, but he didn't know that the county magistrate later checked Er Niu and confirmed that after Prince Nine lived in Er Niu's house, he was afraid that Er Niu would hate him , When I returned to the county, I went to the master in the academy and asked them to take good care of the three Mavericks.

Qi Sheng said, "People from all over the world know about Er Niu's brave capture of the abductee, maybe Master knows about it too, and that's why he's so kind to the three of them."

The emperor was thinking about what Er Niu said earlier, when he heard it, he looked at Qi Sheng very surprised, and couldn't help muttering in his heart, Qi Sheng looked very smart, why is he so easy to fool.

"Don't worry about it, it's a good thing anyway." Er Niu said, "If you really have nothing to do, just think about how Mengmeng will go back to the hometown to take the exam."

"Where are you going?" Su Jiu asked.

"Mengmeng is from Qingzhou, so he naturally has to go back to Qingzhou to take the exam. But even after ten years, Mengmeng will only be 15 years old." Er Niu sighed, "If Maverick and Sword Bean are promising, I must stay here to take care of them. They."

"Then your family will be separated for a long time?" Su Jiu winked at the emperor secretly, and the emperor said, "Er Niu, you are thinking too far, maybe the rules will change in two years."
