Chapter 1505 Fainted
The spring ploughing came in a blink of an eye. The emperor wanted to do the spring ploughing himself, not only with the princes, but also with a group of ministers. They went there for two days and lived in the arranged Zhuangzi.
Zhulan muttered while packing her luggage, "Spring plowing is the most tiring time, I don't know if you can stand it for two days."
Zhou Shuren wasn't worried, "My age is here, and it's not my turn to work hard, so you can rest assured."
And he has the experience of farming with the Emperor Taishang, he is really not afraid of farming.
Zhulan, "The purpose of this spring ploughing is to let the minister save food and save food in the future. Do you think the meals prepared by the emperor will be coarse grains?"
Zhou Shuren is no longer leisurely, "Let the kitchen prepare more jerky for me, yes, and also make some meat floss."
Zhulan, "When you report back in the morning, I'll have someone prepare it. Not only the jerky, but also some pickles to accompany the meal, and some eggs are cooked for you."
Zhou Shuren lay back again, "Enough, it's only two days in total, hey, this year the emperor's mind is all on food, today I saw the book I wrote on the emperor's desk, there are traces on the edge of the book, the emperor did not Research less."
"The root cause of food shortage is still yield. There were no high-yielding grains in ancient times. In fact, more research can be done on fertilizers."
Zhou Shuren turned his head and said, "You think there is no research, there is not much feces from livestock, and fertilizer research is not easy, anyway, I don't understand."
Bamboo orchid doesn't understand either, "Hey, speaking of livestock, there is no large-scale breeding near the capital."
Zhou Shuren squinted his eyes, "The various tribes in the grassland have rich experience in raising cattle and sheep in groups, and it is a little wasteful for them to be idle in the capital."
Zhu Lan knew more about Shuren, "You still remember Prince Oger's calculation, you want to return it."
"It's still my daughter-in-law who understands me. Wen Li was sent to Zhuangzi, and this prince can't be ignored. This kind of ambitious person who has no bottom line, it is better to send him to the suburbs and have no chance to work in the camp. Breeding is suitable for him."
Waiting for tomorrow and the emperor to reveal that a farming village will be opened in the direction of the outer suburbs near the grasslands, and this prince will not want to return to Beijing easily.
Early the next morning, Changyi was also wearing coarse clothes. Only a few of the officials in the entire capital were left to watch, and the others had to go to spring plowing.
Hanlin Academy Mingyun was lucky to stay, and Changzhi also went with him.
The three of them rode in a carriage, Changzhi said: "It's not fake at all by clothes. Now, in this coarse cloth, father and second brother really don't look like court officials."
Zhou Shuren had already looked in the mirror in the morning. The only difference between him and the rural old man was that his face was paler, "If you have nothing to say, shut up."
Changyi didn't say a word, and he didn't look like an official when he took off his official uniform.
Changzhi touched his nose, the old man was not happy.
At the gate of the city, a long carriage was lined up. Zhou Shuren pushed open the carriage window and glanced at it. If there was a hot weapon, it could be done in one pot, and now there is no danger. Only the emperor dared to bring so many officials out of Beijing.
The location of spring ploughing is in Huangzhuang, and the food grown this year will be donated to the common people. Huangzhuang is not far away, and when they get off the carriage one after another, the emperor did not arrange a residence according to his official position. Those who have sons can live with their sons. Who makes filial piety greater than heaven? There is nothing wrong with the son serving his father.
Zhou Shuren had two sons by his side. Wang Chi was envious. His eldest son was an official in a foreign country, and the youngest son was not big, so no one took care of him.
Lord Yu's eldest son came, and Lord Liu's eldest son stayed in Beijing.
Zhou Shuren gathered a lot of people here, and because they were in-laws, they chose a small courtyard.
At this time, the power of the court can be seen, and they are basically in a group.
As soon as everyone had arranged their accommodation, the father-in-law came to pass the message, "Everyday meals need to be prepared by the adults themselves, and the food is divided according to the person, and the adults are asked to collect it by themselves."
Zhou Shuren et al, "."
is cruel enough to not even give them food.
Wang Chi waited for her father-in-law to leave, and said with a smile, "Fortunately, let's bring a servant over here, otherwise I'll have to cook by myself."
Zhou Shuren snorted, "It's like you've cooked."
Wang Chi, "."
The gentleman is far away from the kitchen, and he has never been in the kitchen.
Young Master Liu is a junior, "I'll go get food."
Master Liu, "Go."
Changyi has already gone to the kitchen to see, "Fortunately, the firewood is full."
Zhou Shuren, "I have to go back and rest for a while, and I have to work after lunch."
Changyi said to Changzhi: "You help Dad to rest, I'll go around the neighborhood."
Changzhi, "Okay."
Zhou Shuren went back to the room and sat down. Changzhi and Jinyan store the luggage. Zhou Shuren rested and Jinyan went to make a fire for a while to make tea, while Changzhi took the servant to clean.
Zhou Shuren didn't sleep either, closed his eyes and rested his mind, feeling that it's better to have his son by his side.
Changyi came in quickly, knowing that his father was not sleeping, he said, "Father, what I brought back was all grain storage, and there were not many vegetables, and the only meat was only a piece of meat, father, I will go nearby and see if I can hunt a few rabbits. ."
Zhou Shuren opened his eyes, "Don't go, we don't care what the emperor brings, but now we go out hunting, the emperor doesn't allow it, your mother has prepared well, and don't worry about it for the past two days."
Changyi felt sorry for his father, who was the thinnest in the family, "The son is going to prepare lunch."
"Well, tell your uncle Wang, put everything you brought together, and eat together in the future."
"good."
Changyi said his father's proposal, and everyone in the yard agreed. Wang Chi brought all snacks, as did the Yu family and Liu's family. Luckily, the Liu family stayed in the capital and didn't come.
In the end, the Zhou family brought the most everything, and Changyi watched the little servant cook the lunch at noon.
Wang Chi took a bite of the jerky, "The beef jerky from your house is delicious. Next time I get beef, you can ask the cook in your house to help me make some."
Zhou Shuren, "Let's talk if you can get beef."
The beef that his family eats now is still sent back by Rongchuan There is no way to send it in the future. The temperature rises and the meat is easy to spoil.
Wang Chi is silent, let alone beef, mutton is scarce, now is spring ploughing, and no one dares to think about cattle. When there was no such shortage of food before, Zhuangzi died of one or two cattle, as long as it was a legitimate reason, no one would arrest him. Hold on, not anymore.
After going down without rest, they all went to the fields. The emperor stood in front with the prince and divided the labor according to age. Zhou Shuren was assigned the job of throwing seeds, which was not easy.
The emperors are all serious about digging the pits, and the ministers can only work hard.
Zhou Shuren had no son to help him. Both sons went to dig pits to work hard when they were young. After a while, Zhou Shuren hung his lower back and really missed modern mechanization.
glanced around, yo, he was doing it fast, his eyes fell on Mr. Wen, who was already sweating.
Looking up at the emperor in front, Zhou Shuren raised his eyebrows, the emperor and the prince were still working hard, not pretending.
Zhou Shuren continued to work. After a while, he heard the movement behind and turned his head to see that Mr. Wen had fainted. Zhou Shuren walked over numbly, "Why did Mr. Boss faint, please, let me see."
People, "."
