Seeing that Li Jinglong was defeated, Zhu Yunxi laughed heartily.
In this era, the father-in-law has to keep a distance from his wife's family while being close to each other. Not to mention taking advantage of the father-in-law, even if the wife goes back to her parents' house too many times, others will say it is unruly.
People like Li Jinglong, who have been taking advantage for so many years, really can't do it.
"Speak!" the old man said again, "What don't you have at home? Borrow your father-in-law's village? We don't know what your virtues are? Can you spit it out if it enters your mouth?"
"Your Majesty, there is no Zhuangzi in my family! No, it's not such a pure Zhuangzi!" Li Jinglong said anxiously, "Didn't I hand over the Zhuangzi that my father left behind, as well as the tenants, mountains, forests, ponds, mines, etc. a few years ago?
Is it in the treasury?" Li Jinglong spoke softer and quieter, "You always said at that time that nobles occupy too much land, and since I am a relative of the emperor, I naturally have to set an example!"
When he said this, Zhu Yunxi remembered it.
When he was still the king of Wu, a censor impeached Huaixi nobleman Li Jinglong and others for conniving with domestic slaves to annex land. He also came forward to beat Li Jinglong. Li Jinglong was also a smart man, so he turned over these things.
For this I even received a commendation from the old man.
"Let him be a good boy again!" Zhu Yunxi thought to himself, "The old man must be soft-hearted!"
Sure enough, after thinking for a moment, the old man's expression softened a lot.
The reason why he dealt with those founding heroes so ruthlessly back then was not only because he wanted to keep the Huaixi martial arts group in check and was afraid that Zhu Yunxi would not be able to suppress it in the future, but also because some of these people were really outrageous.
There are often tens of thousands of acres of land under his name, there are countless mountains, forests and mines, and there are thousands of tenant households. In the end, during the Hongwu Dynasty, the only people who did not fail in this kind of thing were actually Li Jinglong and Wuding Marquis Guo Ying.
"Go away, don't cry about poverty with us!" the old man scolded, "Ah, you are robbing your father-in-law if you don't have a village? Beat me!" He said, looking at a group of people kneeling in front of him, "Get up, take us into the village and have a look!
"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please lead the way!" Li Jinglong immediately stood up, bent forward, and led the way with a smile.
Pu Bucheng, who was beside the old man, glanced at Li Jinglong indifferently and then looked away.
Zhu Yunxi had already been to Zhuangzi once, but this was the first time for the old man to come back. After entering Zhuangzi, he couldn't help but look at it with a slightly scrutinizing eye, and hummed from time to time, as if he was a little dissatisfied.
"Your Majesty, please come this way. Tianrechen will take you to the back garden to rest..."
"You are just trying to clean up the sheep!" The old man said dissatisfiedly, "Look, what a village, a place where grain is grown and livestock raised, and you have built these old houses so well. This is Zhuangzi."
Ah, it’s still your Duke Cao Guo’s other courtyard!”
"Besides, farm, farm, farm, why are you gardening? Are you too idle to do anything? You have ruined a good garden!"
"Yes, yes, I will change it when I turn around!" Li Jinglong sweated.
"Change it, this is the Zhuangzi of the Deng family, and the surname is Deng, not Li!" the old man said.
"Then... this Zhuangzi was like this when I borrowed it. If this Zhuangzi hadn't been so good-looking, I wouldn't have borrowed it!" Li Jinglong felt aggrieved, but he didn't dare to say anything, and kept admitting his mistake.
"Where are we going?" the old man said angrily again, "Take us to see the land. What are the attractions of these houses and gardens that are not in the palace? Or do you, Mr. Cao Guo, think that this courtyard is better than our Forbidden City?"
"I don't dare!" Li Jinglong said quickly, "I will take you to see Zhuangzi's farmland!"
~~~
A group of people passed through the manor with rich and colorful decorations. After half a stick of incense, their eyes suddenly opened up. A large rice field appeared in their sight. The strong rice had already been tasseled, and it was almost as high as a person's waist. It was far away.
You can smell the refreshing fragrance.
In the rice fields, there are several crooked scarecrows standing. A few birds are not afraid at all, they land on the scarecrows leisurely, and only flap their wings when people approach.
"Well, good land, good crops!" The old man smiled when he saw the fields full of life.
"Fish! Fish!" Jin shouted, pointing at the wheat field and the palm-long fish in the water.
"Grandson, come and take a look!" the old man greeted, squatting with Zhu Yunxi at the head of the field.
"Hey, why are the fish in his rice so big?" The old man scratched his head, "The rice fields we have in the palace are full of small fish and loaches!"
Zhu Yunxi had been to Zhuangzi before, but had never seen the fields here. Now he was a little curious when he saw the clear water and the countless inch-long fish swimming around.
After all, he was a child who grew up in the city in his previous life, and he really didn't know much about agriculture in the countryside.
"Raising fish in rice fields?" Zhu Yunxi thought about it, Li Jinglong's playboy would never know anything about farming, and asked, "Who planted this land?"
"Go back to the emperor!" Li Jinglong said, "The tenant in my family is called Zhang Baotian!" He said with a smile, "The skill of growing rice and raising fish at the same time is exactly his work!"
"Zhang Baotian? That's a good, loud name!" The old man explored the rice fields with his big hands, "Where are the people? Call us to have a look!" He said, "Is this crucian carp? Take some out and fry them until the bones are crispy.
, Jin likes this bite!”
"Go, call Zhang Baotian!" Li Jinglong waved his hand, then directly picked up the python robe, picked up the net bag, took off his shoes and entered the water, smiled and said to Jin, "Prince, wait, I will fish for you right now!"
Jin clapped his hands and laughed, "Is there a king in the water? There are many pond kings in the palace!"
"The prince opened Chrysostom, there must be one!" Li Jinglong said with a smile.
"Let's see you look like a fucking king!" The old man laughed and scolded, "The Prime Minister of the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea!"
Not long after, an honest farmer was brought over.
Zhang Baotian shivered and knelt at the edge of the field. Judging from his thick joints and calluses on his hands, he had been working with crops all his life.
"Let me ask you, you grew the rice and raised the fish. How did you mix the two together and do so well?" the old man asked.
Zhang Baotian didn't dare to raise his head and said in a low voice, "Xiao Ren, Xiao Ren learned it from Xiao Ren's father."
"Don't be restrained. We've promised a reward!" the old man said after hearing this, "If you have a son, let your son be an official!"
Suddenly, Zhang Baotian raised his head and saw an incredible light in his eyes, but then he lowered his head in fear and said, "The little man's rice field is different from others. The embankment is wider and higher, and it needs to be beaten firmly."
"Dig fish ditches, fish slides or fish pits in the fields, and set up fish fences! Ten days after transplanting the rice seedlings, put the fish fry in them. You can put about a hundred fish in one acre of land!"
"So much, dear! That's enough for you to eat fish!" the old man said in surprise.
Zhang Baotian continued, "To have fish, there must be more water in the fields, otherwise the fish will run away when it rains heavily!"
This is a talented person in agriculture. Zhu Yunxi said from the side, "What do you eat with so many fish?"
"Anything will do. The fertilizer the little man put on the rice fields is all sun-dried. After the water enters the fields, bugs will appear in the fields within a few days. The fish will eat the bugs and weeds, and they will grow!"
"It's no wonder that later generations said that our civilization was a brilliant agricultural civilization. What an old farmer in the countryside said just proves the ecological cycle of China. Fish eat things harmful to rice in rice fields, and then their excrement is also fertilizer, because the fish swim
, and it can also promote the decomposition of fertilizers in the land!”
The old man listened attentively and kept nodding.
Wait for the other person to finish speaking, and ask to the side, "Do you remember what he said?"
Among the crowd, a Hanlin secretary who followed quickly replied, "I have written it down!"
"Copy it to the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry to think of something, and see if it can be promoted in Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Zhili and Huguang!" the old man said, looking at Zhu Yunxi, "Grandson, right?"
"Grandpa Huang has a keen eye, and today he discovered another good thing that is beneficial to agriculture!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
"We just use our mouths!" The old man smiled and nodded at Zhang Baotian, "He still has skills!" He said, looking at the other party, "These are secret recipes passed down from family, they cannot be used in vain. How many sons do you have?"
"The villain has five sons!" Zhang Baotian said, "The eldest is already thirty, and the youngest is only 18 years old!"
"Ha, you can give birth!" The old man laughed and thought for a while, "Grandson, can you give me a job as an official?"
"You can go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to be an agricultural officer, or you can be a member of the Imperial Guard!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
"Jinyiwei can't do it! An honest person can't eat it!" The old man thought about it and said to Zhang Baotian, "Both you and your eldest son will go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to work as agricultural officers!" After saying that, he paused and said, "Well, a half-grown man will have to live with a poor man.
, If you didn’t have many sons, you wouldn’t have to be a tenant! In this case, I’ll ask Guanglu Temple to allocate thirty acres of paddy field for you.”
"No thanks!" Li Jinglong came out of the field carrying a fish basket and smiled at Zhang Baotian, who was happy and silly.
"Kowtow to thank Heaven, little man!" Zhang Baotian said loudly.
"What's over there?" The old man smiled and pointed to the place where the birds were lingering in the distance.
Li Jinglong looked over there, "That's Chen Zhuangzi's lotus pond. Your Majesty, would you like to go and have a look? The lunch minister will arrange it for you over there, while you look at the lotus..."
Bang, another kick.
Poof, Li Jinglong fell into the water.
"It's a good land for growing food, but you dig a hole to raise lotus flowers!" the old man said angrily, "You're a waste of money!"
"I am guilty!" Li Jinglong fell on the paddy field, lying on his back, and struggled to stand up while rowing his hands and feet.
"Haha!" Jin chuckled and said to Li Qi who was holding him, "Look at your dad, does he look like the king we caught in the pond and then turned him over and put him on the ground?"
Suddenly, the smile on Li Qi's face was uglier than crying.
