Chapter 896

Seeing Zhao Lie leaving first, the VIP Pavilion fell into silence for a while. After a while, Prince Zhao Hanqing said to Li Chengfeng: "Tomorrow is the Spring Farming Festival. Do you have time in the morning?"

Li Chengfeng said: "Your Highness has something to do, I will follow the rules."

Zhao Hanqing smiled slightly and said, "That will be the same suburbs of the east of the city tomorrow morning."

After saying that, the prince also stood up and left, leaving Li Chengfeng looking at the bustling crowd downstairs with thoughts.

The next day, Li Chengfeng came to the eastern suburbs of the city early in the morning. Originally, Li Chengfeng thought he had come early, but when he came to a large area of ​​farmland in the eastern suburbs of the city, Li Chengfeng realized that he was still late.

The eastern suburbs of the city are famous imperial fields near Shenjing. The farmlands here belong to the royal family, but they are usually rented to farmers. Since the proportion of the royal family collects rent, the imperial fields that can be rented here are all fortunes for tenants in eight lifetimes.

Every year during the Spring Plowing Festival, according to the rules, the first day of spring plowing in the royal family is the emperor or prince who goes to farmland and old farmers.

But with Zhao Bairen's negligence, how could an emperor who was unwilling to attend court every time in the morning court would be willing to come to this farmland early in the morning to cultivate land with the old farmers?

This is the rule set by Emperor Taizu. The purpose is to make future generations not forget the truth that "water can carry a boat and can also overturn the boat" and "the safety of the world is only the farming matter". In their opinion, the only thing that can threaten the royal rule in the world is the only thing.

It is not a threat from the world of cultivation, nor from the Nine Prisons of the Pluto, but from the food problems of the people.

All the people can have enough food. Even if the world of cultivation is full of their minds, the world will be as stable as Mount Tai. If all the people cannot have enough food, even if the world of cultivation supports the royal family, it will be useless!

This is how the previous dynasty was overthrown by the Daqi!

There was no sect in the world who wanted a great chaos, because a great chaos in the world meant a sharp decline in population and income, which would greatly harm their interests. Therefore, they were firmly on the side of the court at the beginning, but because the previous dynasty was too corrupt, the people in the world even had a problem with eating. So the people finally couldn't bear it anymore and rose up, forming a spark of fire. When the cultivation world saw that the general trend was wrong, they immediately turned around and chose to support Qi Taizu, and the previous dynasty was destroyed.

Therefore, the Spring Farming Festival is an extremely important festival in Daqi. This is an important show event for the Daqi royal family, at least in Li Chengfeng's eyes.

As soon as Li Chengfeng came here, he found that it had been surrounded by all the imperial guards. At least 30,000 imperial guards kept the surroundings in the vicinity. After passing the level set up on the first floor, he immediately came to the second floor of the imperial guards. The guards were guarding the Jin Shen Guards, who were responsible for the safety and inspection of the second level. After passing this level, he came to the farmland of the imperial guards. Li Chengfeng saw endless farmland at a glance. Standing near the ridge of the front field were the prince's entourage and others holding yellow umbrellas, as well as the prince's concubines and others.

Like the prince, the princess was dressed in simple and frugal clothes. She was wearing yellow silk dresses and the style and fabric was no different from that of ordinary peasant women. She was busy burning water under this yellow umbrella, and cooked sesame tea for the old farmers and children and women who had not yet gone to the fields.

Farmers rarely eat sesame seeds, let alone sesame tea. When the children smelled the fragrance of sesame tea, they surrounded them with greed, staring at the teapot that was constantly ventilated, while the peasants surrounded the princess and kept saying nice words.

The Crown Princess did not dislike them, but instead carefully taught them some things they needed to pay attention to when cooking tea on weekdays.

Li Chengfeng came to the yellow umbrella on the roadside on the ridge of the field. When the princess saw Li Chengfeng, she smiled: "You are Li Chengfeng, right? Come on, come on, this tea is just ready."

Li Chengfeng respectfully bowed to the Crown Princess and said, "I have met the Crown Princess."

The oval face of the Crown Princess was not surprisingly similar to the concubine of the Prince Zhao Liexian, but her appearance was dignified, graceful, and her every move was full of grandeur and friendly words. She waved her hand with a smile and said, "It's all a family, why do you do this? Come, sit, sit."

A little eunuch next to him brought a stool with great vision. Li Chengfeng sat down next to him and looked aside.

In the farmland at this time, the prince was driving the old cow side by side with eight old farmers, pulling the curved plow. What was surprising was that the prince actually took the lead and walked in the front. I don’t know whether these old farmers were intentionally giving in or the prince’s skillful farming work, but what shocked Li Chengfeng was that the prince was dressed exactly the same as these old farmers at this time. If he hadn’t seen the prince, he would not have been able to distinguish the prince from these farmers at this time.

The same coarse clothes, same dark skin, same skillful movements, and same rough voice singing the farm songs loudly... In Li Chengfeng's opinion, it was very incredible.

This is the prince of Daqi, the prince of the regent!

If nothing unexpected happens, he will be the next emperor of the Great Qi!!

You know, this is a paddy field. On the first day of spring plowing, fertilization is required in the paddy field. The fertilizer is human manure and animal manure. After fermenting, they are scattered in the farmland, and then farmers turn over the fields and cultivate the land to make them mixed with the farmland.

Not to mention anything else, this smell alone smells very bad.

Even when Li Chengfeng was sitting at the lower end of this sesame tea, with a strong smell of sesame, he could smell the stench coming from his face, not to mention barefoot, rolling his trouser legs, he went down to the farmland to cultivate the land!

Is this what the prince with golden branches and jade leaves should do?

Li Chengfeng believed that he was a low-class civilian who grew up on the street, and he felt that he could not do such a thing!

But the prince did it without any distortion, and did it very well, which shows that this was definitely not an accidental show, and he definitely had rich experience in farm work.

Sure enough, after they finished plowing this large area of ​​field, the group of people came over with sweat. A white-bearded farmer in the lead gave a thumbs up at the prince and said, "Your Highness is really amazing. Your Highness was not so skilled last year. I didn't expect that if I haven't seen you for a year, I can no longer catch up with Your Highness!"

The prince put a white towel on his shoulder. He wiped his sweat while smiling and said, "Where is it? Practice makes perfect!"

The old farmer sighed: "Your Highness is diligent and kind, and it is a blessing for us and the people. If all the officials in the world are like Your Highness, I am afraid this will be a paradise on earth!"

The prince also sighed a little, patted the old farmer on the shoulder, and said, "It will be fine, it will get better and better. Mr. Zheng must maintain his body well. Wait for two more years and everything will be fine."

"Hey, I must wait until this day!" The old farmer, who was called Mr. Zheng, had tears flashing in his eyes, and he nodded heavily.

Zhao Hanqing climbed up the ridge of the field and came under the yellow umbrella. He took the steps handed over by the crown princess, rubbed the stinky mud on his feet in front of Li Chengfeng. He smiled and said, "Have you ever been to the farmland?"

Li Chengfeng shook his head and said in admiration: "The prince is really a role model in the world. I am so impressed..."

Zhao Hanqing sighed and said, "The father has been in poor health in recent years. As a son, he should serve himself. What's more, the royal family is the role model in the world. If the royal family is more extravagant, the world will be more extravagant. If the royal family wastes one foot, the world will be more wasteful! As the son of the royal family, he should be the first in the world!"

Li Chengfeng admired from the bottom of his heart: "Your Highness will become a wise ruler in the future!"

Zhao Hanqing shook his head and said, "This is not a place to speak, please follow me."

After wiping his feet clean, Zhao Hanqing changed into official boots and took Li Chengfeng along the ridge and walked forward. The servants and guards followed the two of them twenty meters away.

After Zhao Hanqing walked out more than 100 meters, he suddenly slowed down, looked at Li Chengfeng, and said, "Brother Li Xian, I heard that you have a relationship with your sister-in-law, do you have this intention?"

Li Chengfeng was shocked. He finally understood what the prince was asking him for today...

This is a matchmaker?!
