Chapter 459: Demonstration of the Royal Family

In the fifth month of the lunar calendar, the Guanzhong Plain is golden. It is time for the wind to blow wheat waves again.

"Chi~Chi~Brush~"

In a wheat field not far from Chang'an City, a young man with a head wrapped in Zibo scarf and a high leg legs, although he was sweating heavily and breathing heavily, he still skillfully tied dozens of wheat poles with another wheat pole to form a standard bundle.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have been working for more than an hour. The sun is very poisonous now. Please take a rest for a while and drink a bowl of iced sour plum soup."

"Huh~~~" Liu Chen stood up and wiped his forehead casually with his hands full of grass chips: "Okay! Then take a break. Well, Aunt Zhang, Li Ermei, and Uncle Wang... all stopped for a while and came over to drink a bowl of soup to relieve the heat."

With Liu Chen's shouting, the fields that had been shaking constantly but could not see people, seven or eight farmers appeared one after another. They had never seen the fear of seeing His Majesty the Emperor for the first time. They gathered around with a normal expression and followed Liu Chen into the awning built next to the ridge of the field.

"Ah~~" After a large mouthful of sour plum soup passed by Bingshui Town, Liu Chen moaned comfortably, and then casually put his two dirt feet on the delicate soft collapse: "How about it, Mr. Wang, is my wheat cutting speed getting faster and faster?"

"Hehe, the wise and wise are no better than Your Majesty. Yesterday, His Majesty only cut half of the land in one hour, and today, he has cut more than one and a half of the land. It turns out that those who can do everything are capable of."

"That's it, that's it, we all said, but I didn't expect that His Majesty is also a good player in farm work. Such a person is very popular among the older girls in our village."

"Rareless!" The aunts next to them were in a state of inherent attributes and were a little proud. Old Man Wang, who answered just now, still remembered the emperor in front of him. He quickly stood up and scolded the stupid village woman.

After being scolded by the old man from the neighbor, the aunt surnamed Zhang suddenly realized: The person in front of him is the emperor, and he actually wanted to introduce his girlfriend to the emperor?!

"It's okay." Liu Chen waved his hand casually: "Aunt Zhang, don't cry. I have been working with you for several days. Do you think I am the kind of person who can't joke about it? Come on, drink the soup, and the soup will heat up again later, and it will taste bad when it tastes."

From May last year to May of this year, the war between the Han and Jin Dynasties, which lasted for a year.

Because a large number of strong people either joined the army or worked as civilians to carry military food, Ji Han is now extremely short of labor force in the country.

It was a little better when plowing in spring. Thanks to the comprehensive promotion of the Quyuan Plow and the abundant animal power, both the women in Yongliang and Yizhou, the elderly burst into great strength, which basically ensured that the area of ​​plowing in spring did not shrink significantly compared with before the first year of Guiyuan.

But when it comes to autumn harvest, the effect of animal power is not very big. Whether it is wheat, rice, or potatoes, it requires manpower to harvest it one by one.

Therefore, from the beginning of May of this year, the areas where Ji Han planted winter wheat began to enter the harvesting period one after another. Emperor Liu Chen took the lead and all government officials at all levels of Ji Han went down to the fields to help the people in various places to harvest wheat.

"My son bows to my father."

Just when the atmosphere was a little awkward, a young child voice rang out, but it was Liu Chen's eldest son, eight years old, who was holding a bunch of wheat he had harvested and walked over with the eunuchs.

"Oh! A Kuan is good today, he actually cut so many."

"Hehe." A smile from the heart quickly rose on the child who was praised by his father. But after a while, his face collapsed: "There are more than yesterday, but it is far from that of his sister."

"Hmph, Liu Akuan, what are you talking about? You are so much younger than me, and you still hope to be like me?" With a sound of a stubborn voice in the ethereal voice, a girl with a pretty figure and a face full of dust and grass, still unable to hide her delicate facial features came over. It was Liu Chen's eldest daughter, Guan Yi's eldest son Guan Fu's future wife, and Ji Han's new generation eldest princess Liu Wan'er.

"Well, Wan'er, you are three years older than Akuan." He stretched out his other hand and gently wiped Liu Wan'er's face: "Why are you pouting? Why are you unhappy?"

"Father, Tan Nu (Guan Fu) is only thirteen years old and is about to go to the battlefield."

"Oh, what should I do? He is the son of Grand Sima, so of course he has to go to the battlefield at this time."

"But he is only thirteen years old! And this guy is just a waste. He has been in more than four years and has never won a fight against Saburo Kitakumiya. What can such a small body play if he goes to the battlefield?"

"Hahahaha~~Wan'er, Beigong Sanro is talented and can't beat him. Tannu has been promoted from the last to the middle and lower stage in Wuzhangyuan Academy in the past two years. Considering that his classmates are generally much older than him, it is not easy to do this."

"Hmph, most people can't beat it. Oh, Father, you are the emperor. Let's give Tannu a royal decree to not go to Bingzhou and let him play with me in Chang'an."

"It's unreasonable. Jin State is stubborn and resists stubbornly in Bingzhou and Jizhou. The country has had to recruit troops for a second time, and it has been clearly stipulated that all fourth-grade students of Wuzhangyuan College will join the army. Tan Nu is a student of this level, so there cannot be any exceptions. If there are exceptions in everything, what rules can be said?"

Seeing his daughter turning her head aside and ignoring her, Liu Chen had no good idea, so he turned around and said to Aunt Zhang, who was shocked and said, "Aunt Zhang, your son has joined the army again, are you willing to bear it?"

"Hey! Your Majesty, my third son was knocked out of stone in Tongguan last year and went home to recuperate for several months. Now he is like a good person. How can he not join the army again? Not to mention anything else, in our pavilion, in the nearby pavilions, except for the only son at home, all men with good feet and good hands have gone to join the army. He is a good man in his twenties, and he is not afraid of others stabbing his backbone when he is in the pavilion? I am shameless and I am shameless!"

The village woman named Zhang said it easily, but Liu Chen knew that the third child of the Zhang family was unconscious for several days by the stones on the Tongguan city wall. He often had a headache after waking up. He didn't have long time to come back to recuperate. After Ji Han conscription for the second time, he signed up again: Of course, veterans who have experienced life and death like this are the favorites of recruiters at all levels, and he was successfully selected again.

"Your Majesty, every tenth day of the pavilion, there are gentlemen from the city coming to preach. The people of the grass-roots know that the court is in trouble now, but as long as you get through it, everything will be fine!"

"Hey, that's true, but I don't know how long it takes to last?"
