Chapter 580 The Contributions of His Highness the Prince
Early the next morning, a group of people came out in low clothes.
First got into the carriage, drove for a while, then got out of the carriage and walked forward.
The weather was very hot, Emperor Ming Pei was dressed in a very ordinary way, wearing a straw hat, Xinbao also wore a big hat with a wide brim, Yuan Shenjue and Hao Huashi had their faces changed a little, plus they were dressed as After wearing the woman's Huashuang, the five of them pretended to be a family.
Front, back, left, and right, there are shadow guards and Long Xiangwei that Qiao played in the distance.
Not far away, I saw a group of people breaking corn.
Men and women, carrying a large basket on their backs, broke, twisted, and threw it back, with very agile movements.
Emperor Ming Pei walked slowly, and Xinbao followed closely behind.
Looking all the way, I saw a family under the tree who might have finished harvesting, sitting and resting. Emperor Ming Pei walked over and said to them: "Old man, ask, where is Hao Huzi's house?"
The old man glanced at him, then shook his head: "There is no one with the surname Hao in my village."
Emperor Ming Pei said: "Then do you know how many villages are nearby, and which one has them?"
"This surname is really rare," the old man thought for a long time and said, "I really didn't know that there were people surnamed Hao in these villages."
He asked the person next to him: "Do you know?"
The person next to him also shook his head: "I haven't heard of someone surnamed Hao. Is it good or bad?"
Emperor Ming Pei shook his head: "It's not that good, alas! I've gone to several villages, but I can't find it. My tired legs are sore!"
Sure enough, the old man said: "Sit down first, rest! It's hot, what are you doing with this person?"
Emperor Ming Pei didn't mind at all, so he just sat down on the bundle of corn stalks, "Don't mention it, I'm not... taking the child to find relatives!"
Hao Huashi: "..."
The emperor's micro-service private workshop, and he has to find a father for him by the way? ?
Ming Pei Di said a few words in a serious manner, and then changed the subject: "What is the old man's name?"
"The surname is Xu!" The old man said: "Our place is Upper Xujiahe and Lower Xujiahe. Almost all the villagers in the two villages have the surname Xu!"
"Oh!" Emperor Ming Pei said, "Brother Xu has a long life!"
Old man Xu smiled and said, "Sixty-two!"
"Yo!" Emperor Ming Pei was very down-to-earth and knew what the common people wanted to hear: "This body is tough! There are groups of children."
Both sides complimented each other.
Then Emperor Ming Pei introduced the topic: "Brother Xu, how is the harvest this year?"
As soon as he talked about the harvest, the old man Xu immediately laughed into an emoji: "This year is really good! This is all thanks to His Royal Highness!"
Emperor Ming Pei's expression was subtle for a moment, he suspected that this person was arranged by the magistrate.
But he still asked with a smile: "What does your farming have to do with His Royal Highness?"
Old man Xu said: "His Royal Highness, we were also ordinary people before, don't you know?"
Emperor Ming Pei said: "I've heard of it."
"When he was a commoner, he wrote a book... I heard that there are many ways to grow grain in it, and we don't know it, but this year the county magistrate said that we should plant the land according to the method taught by the prince, so we will plant it. Hey. It’s not unusual to hear it, it’s just that I changed the one-by-one before to the big and small ridges, three by three, planted with wrong teeth..."
Danzi nodded silently beside her.
That's right, we need to plant like this, change the equal rows into wide and narrow rows, and cultivate in a font style. In this way, the planting density will be increased in disguise, and hundreds of seedlings can be grown in one mu of land, and the marginal effect can be fully utilized , Light-transmitting and ventilated, the corn grows well, and the aerial roots also increase, and the final yield will definitely increase, generally by about 30%.
Then the group of people walked forward slowly, passing through two or three villages. Emperor Ming Pei took the "Hao Beard" to lead the way and chatted with many people for a long time.
In fact, this is because the local officials wanted to please Shangyi, and with Liang Ruoxu's advanced experience, they urged the people below to plant in a high-yield way. soaring.
The people regard food as their heaven, and if they can harvest 10% more food, it is enough for the people to remember His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Emperor Ming Pei didn't pay much attention to that book at the time, but now it seems that it is really worthy of vigorous promotion.
But at this time, there is no need to promote it. Once the local practices and production volumes are reported, other local officials would be foolish not to keep up.
Emperor Ming Pei was in a good mood, and Tuanzi was also in a good mood.
After practicing martial arts for a while, her health has indeed improved. She walked around with her short legs all morning and didn't feel tired. Listening to people praising her father, she is full of energy.
Seeing that it was almost noon, Emperor Ming Pei said: "Xinbao, how do we eat?"
Xinbao is particularly considerate: "Let's find a farmhouse that is pleasing to the eye to eat! Xinbao chooses!"
So she looked left and right, and quickly chose one: "Is this good? It's poor enough, and clean enough!"
She looked at Yuan Shenjue with wide eyes.
Emperor Ming Pei raised his eyebrows: "Xinbao is thinking about what this person wants and what that person wants, are you tired?"
Tuanzi shook his head, and said sincerely: "I'm not tired! Missing Yeye, missing my wife, these are all instincts that Xinbao puts in his heart, and he doesn't need to think about it."
Emperor Ming Pei: "..."
I don’t know what to say!
Yuan Shen Jue suppressed a smile, and had already gone to the farm to discuss.
The old couple and their son lived in that house. When they heard that they spent two taels of silver to come over for dinner, they were very happy, and they quickly agreed.
And they went in.
This house is indeed very clean, and it looks like they are all simple and honest people. The old lady went to meet under the stove soon, and the father and son were busy going out to buy things.
Emperor Ming Pei said kindly: "Sister-in-law, we don't have to pick anything, and we don't have to work hard."
The old woman responded repeatedly, and they went in and sat down. Hua Shuang took out the teapot and cups from the basket she was carrying, poured tea for them, and poured water to feed Xinbao, who drank a cup of tea in one go.
Emperor Ming Pei said: "Xinbao should feed her at any time, don't call her water cut off."
Hua Shuang responded, saying, "I fed you twice on the way."
Emperor Ming Pei nodded, then stood up, with his hands behind his back, and looked around. The tables, chairs and utensils in this house were very dilapidated, and the wood of the windows seemed to be rotten.
Ming Pei asked Xinbao: "How did you compare to this when you were in the countryside?"
Xinbao said: "In the beginning, the family was very poor, there was no bed, and they slept on straw, and there was a plank. At first, Auntie slept with Xinbao in her arms. Later, when the second elder brother fell ill, she gave it to the second elder brother. It’s not flat, it’s always dangling. But it’s fine after I moved. Xinbao’s room is very good. It’s all bought by my wife. There are very delicate patterns on the windows, on the bed, and on the door. beautiful…"
She was chattering.
While talking, a villager at the door said: "Mrs. Wu, is there a visitor at your house?"
That Mrs. Wu responded with a smile, and the man said with a smile, "Where are you from?"
Wu Pozi said: "It's passing by."
The man came in and helped her light the fire, looking into the room from time to time.
This kind of place in the village is like this. The clan lives together, like a big family. When entering other people’s homes, they generally don’t know how to see outsiders. Every family knows when they beat their children, and every family comes to help when the village is full.
Emperor Ming Pei looked at it and thought it was quite interesting.
