After getting the man's permission, Liu Chan immediately rolled up his trouser legs, then asked the guard to carry the plow, and followed him down to the field.
Zhuge Liang, Wang Yuanji, and Ma E on the shore all looked at Liu Chan nervously, but at the same time they had an indescribable feeling in their hearts.
Zhuge Liang was naturally very pleased, because the emperor's approach was obviously to win over the people.
If the common people know that he is the emperor, they will naturally feel that they are lucky to have such an emperor.
Although Wang Yuanji is young, she has lived in Luoyang since she was a child. She is very familiar with the two emperors of Wei. Every spring plowing time, both Cao Pi and now Cao Rui will go to the fields for a walk.
Then he will also wave the hoe.
However, that is just a show.
But Liu Chan is different. He does not appear as the emperor. At this time, except for a few of them, no one else knows that he, Liu Chan, is the emperor.
This is the pattern.
Of course Ma E was also surprised. When he was in Liangzhou, he had heard about the Han Emperor Liu Chan, but more often than not, he heard that this man was mediocre and incompetent.
Now she found out.
Everyone in the world speaks lies.
Although she had not been married to Chang'an for a long time, there was a military examination selection first. Liu Chan changed his name and applied for the examination, and successfully entered the top 20 in the Beijing examination.
Now I am conducting a private visit incognito to understand the public sentiment.
Is such an emperor a mediocre person?
Of course Liu Chan didn't know what the people on the shore were thinking about, and he didn't care about it either, but he was very happy now.
Because he is convinced that he will win today.
When he and his guards came to the field, the middle-aged man had already unloaded his straight-shaft plow. When Liu Chan came up to him, he lowered his head slightly as a salute to Liu Chan.
"Master."
"Please."
The middle-aged man handed the rope for the cattle into Liu Chan's hand.
Liu Chan is very lucky. Fortunately, he was born in a rural area in his previous life, and ordinary farm work is really not difficult for him.
He took over the ox and hitched up his plow very skillfully. Just as Liu Chan hitched up the plowshare, the middle-aged man suddenly felt a little expectant, because this plowshare was obviously better than his plowshare. Much smaller.
Does this stuff really work?
After setting up the cattle, the guard wanted to step forward to help, but when he went out, Liu Chan had told him not to call him "Your Majesty" when going out.
"Master."
The guard looked a little nervous: "It's better for me to plow."
"Get out of here."
Liu Chan glared at him angrily and snatched a stick as thick as his thumb from his hand.
This guard had been following Liu Chan for a long time, and naturally he knew his temper, so he had to step aside obediently.
However, he stared at Liu Chan nervously. If anything unexpected happened, he would rush to Liu Chan's side as quickly as possible.
Snap——
There was only a crisp sound, and the cane hit the cattle heavily. The cattle immediately stepped forward after feeling the pain. Liu Chan held the plowshare with one hand and pulled the rope with the other to control the direction of the cattle.
Although he plowed the land when he was young, he is still very skilled after many years. He is a rural boy at heart.
This is natural.
No way.
Watching the cattle moving forward slowly, Liu Chan held on to the plowshare alone, shaking the plowshare from time to time while moving forward, and saw pieces of soil being turned aside.
One man, one plow.
Under the gaze of everyone, Liu Chan drove the cattle like an old farmer.
Zhuge Liang, who was on the shore, stopped swaying his feather fan gently, looking a little weird.
Wang Yuanji on the side shouted excitedly: "Husband, you are so great."
"Husband!"
Listening to the voice that sounded as soft as honey, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but shudder, this noble king - alas.
Ma E also burst into laughter.
Of course, she was not laughing at Liu Chan in the field, nor at the Prime Minister who couldn't stand Wang Yuanji, but at Wang Yuanji, who was shouting so unscrupulously in front of a large crowd.
Besides, the middle-aged man and the young man in the field couldn't help but rub their eyes and looked at Liu Chan in disbelief as he kept walking away.
Liu Chan managed to make a plow for one man, but they were not disappointed, but rather excited.
Because Liu Chan can do it, farmers like them who work in the fields all year round can naturally do it too.
It can be clearly seen that this person's plow is easy to use, and it doesn't take much effort to use it.
"Call——"
When they reached the end, they heard Liu Chan say something and turned around easily.
"Father!"
The young man said excitedly: "This plow is very easy to use. If you use this plow to plow the land, it will only take half a day to plow our field."
"Yeah!" The middle-aged man nodded and said, "This plow is very good, this plow is very good."
Not long after, Liu Chan had already plowed back and forth.
"Sir, I lost."
"Hahaha!"
Liu Chan stopped the cattle and said with a smile: "Winning or losing is not important. What is important is that from now on, you can work easily."
"I will give you this plow as a gift," Liu Chan threw the cane to the middle-aged man and said, "Don't forget to share this plow with the nearby villagers."
"Yes, yes, yes -" the middle-aged man said: "I will ask the villagers to come over and watch now, and let them all use this kind of plow to plow the land."
"Okay!"
Liu Chan was very satisfied, and then turned around to return to the shore. However, the middle-aged man behind him took his son and bowed to Liu Chan: "I would also like to ask you to leave your name, so that I can thank you on behalf of the villagers for giving me the plow."
"There is no need to keep your name," Liu waved his hand and said with a smile: "You are good at farming, and you can repay me by growing more food."
By the time Liu Chan finished speaking, he and the guard had returned to the shore. Zhuge Liang hurriedly stepped forward and handed over his shoes and socks.
"Thank you, dear father!"
"Your Majesty does good deeds without leaving his name behind," Zhuge Liang sighed: "You are truly a great hero of the Han Dynasty."
"Xiangfu, I'm so flattering." After putting on his shoes and socks, Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang walked forward and said with a smile: "I just did something that I could do. Compared with Xiangfu's hard work for the big man, this little thing of mine
Not worth mentioning."
"Your Majesty, please do not be humble." Zhuge Liang said sincerely: "If the late Emperor is alive in heaven, he will definitely be happy to know that Your Majesty loves the people so much."
When he said this, Zhuge Liang felt inexplicably relaxed.
Previously in Chengdu, Liu Chan personally taught the people how to improve rice cultivation, but at that time he was leading troops to put down the Nanzhong rebellion, and he did not see Liu Chan's actions.
But this time, he saw it with his own eyes.
He used to worry.
He was worried that Liu Chan was too young to handle state affairs, so he had to do many things himself.
Although Xu Shu now helps him and takes a lot of pressure off of him, he is still mentally and physically exhausted. After all, the Han Dynasty has not yet unified the world.
But Liu Chan's actions today made him feel very relaxed, because the emperor was kind, even though improving the plowshare didn't seem like much.
However, small things can reflect a person's behavior and way of doing things, especially if he is the emperor of a country.
The emperor who loves his people like a son will naturally be supported by the people.
Liu Chan has grown so fast in the past few years that he no longer has to worry about having no successors after a hundred years.
