If you want to plow silkworms, you have to get up in the middle of the night and quietly leave the city. Be sure not to disturb the people.
Link woke up early and sat on the couch: he wanted to pretend to be sick.
After thinking about it, she decided to forget it. Tongtong still had an acre of land, and if she didn't go there, she would have to work harder.
Lin Kuan: "Are you going?"
Link nodded: "Go!"
Lin Kuan then laughed: "I will follow you and I will plant your land for you."
Don't make trouble! You can't get that close if you follow me. Even if we want to open up wasteland, the place assigned to you will definitely be farther than mine. If people know that the land of the royal family is planted by the servants, how can we restrain others?
As Lin Keyong said this, he looked up at the clothes Lin Kuan had brought. This is going to the field, what should you wear? Lin Kuan pointed to the black one, "This one is smart, wear this one." This color is the same.
It's dirty when it sees dirt.
Lin Kuan: "..." What color is not dirty when exposed to dirt?
Link pointed at one item casually: "That's it!" Anyway, no matter what you wear, it will get dirty, so choose the one you like. The key is: "Where's the bamboo hat?"
Here it is! Everything is ready.
"Where's Mi Li?"
Wear it with you! Short and wide, it can cover your shoulders.
That's good! The dusty one, no matter how beautiful the appearance is, the gray-headed face cannot be beautiful.
After packing up, I hurried out. In the middle of the night, everyone organized their own manpower, so let's go. Each yamen will find a way to bring its own people. It can be done on foot, by carriage or horse, or on farm tools.
Cars and people walking.
He yawned sleepily and walked away.
Anyway, we are going to the wilderness, which normal people don’t go to. In this era, after all, the land is vast and sparsely populated! You can’t find such a wilderness anywhere.
The place was chosen by Emperor Wen Zhao. The terrain is relatively flat, and a river once passed through it.
Tongtong got off the carriage in short clothes and looked around. He saw many people going to the wasteland. In the distance, he could hear the quarrel between the Minister of Household Affairs and the Minister of Industry.
Why? They are arguing over which piece belongs to the Ministry of Household Affairs and which piece belongs to the Ministry of Works.
First, it is divided into large blocks, with each yamen as a unit, and divided into general divisions. Then it is divided inside the yamen, and then divided into each division and yamen. At this time, there are fewer people, and then it is divided among individuals.
As a result, the bosses of various yamen shouted and argued loudly for the benefit of their respective yamen, which was no different from the old farmers in the fields arguing about whose water should be irrigated first.
Emperor Wen Zhao was so happy to see it! It was noisy! There was a quarrel! Come on, come on, it would be interesting to have a fight in the field.
Mr. Cheng Ge looked livid and asked Emperor Wen Zhao: "Your Majesty, where do you think the clan should be?"
Tongtong wanted to laugh. The elder didn't take the initiative to give the best cultivated land to the royal family. This was intentional to make him angry.
Emperor Wen Zhao didn't mind the attitude of the old minister at all, and looked at Mr. Cheng Ge calmly, "Then... shall we draw lots for the clan, cabinet, and privy council?"
Mr. Cheng Ge choked up: How shameless! I thought that I would take the initiative to claim the difficult ones, but who would have thought that I would not suffer any loss in this matter!
Emperor Wen Zhao also called Dalang: "Son, go and draw lots."
The eldest prince didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Father, let's just take this place in the middle!"
Link looked around and saw that the land in the middle was undulating. It was not easy to level it out. He raised his foot and secretly kicked the eldest prince: Stupid!
Damn it! Kick harder! Emperor Wen Zhao glared at Da Lang angrily: Compared with benefits and face, which one do you want?
The eldest prince didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "My son does it quickly, don't worry, he will do all the work for you and your mother."
Emperor Wen Zhao had not yet spoken. Over there, Mr. Cheng Ge was very happy with what King Zhao said and turned around to break up with the Privy Council gang.
The rest of us are our own people, stop being picky and just work.
Then the Zhao brothers divided the land into pieces of about an acre and a half in a fair manner, and quickly marked them with stones and wooden sticks.
The one in the middle belongs to Emperor Wen Zhao and the Queen.
In addition, the fairy aunt and the two real people also came down the mountain. Their land must be in the middle.
Tongtong asked Liu Nande in a low voice: "Why did you come down the mountain? You are so tired." Liu Nande was very happy: "How rare is this excitement?"
You see the excitement, Fourth Master's workload has doubled.
Liu Siniang, who was following behind, couldn't help but yawned, then squinted her eyes to look for Han Siyuan, and when she found him, she went with Han Siyuan. Then she muttered behind Han Siyuan: "Why don't you have to do anything when you marry into the clan? Just follow me to the northwest.
Still have to farm?”
Han Siyuan: "..." I also want to know why we need to cultivate land now. I just have a vegetable garden and a flower bed at home. It's time to open up wasteland! But it will kill me.
He looked at the weeds and vines all over the ground and wondered where to start! What's the use of a hoe and a shovel? You need a machete!
After thinking for a while, he took out his dagger and squatted down to cut the dead grass.
Liu Siniang: "..." If you open up wasteland like this, it will take a year for us to get this land. She pulled him up, don't be embarrassed! If the farmers grow crops like this, they will starve to death: "We have to burn the wasteland! Burn the wasteland! First, we must burn the wasteland."
Clear out the fire zone."
Oh! The first thing to do when opening up wasteland is to burn it down.
I stretched the isolation belt and lit fires in several directions at the same time. I burned the grass that could be burned first and then cleaned up the miscellaneous trees that could not be burned.
Standing at the edge of the field, when the fire started, smoke filled the air. No one could be seen, but wild animals could be seen jumping out of the field. You could also hear shouts in the distance. It must be a hare or something else that had been disturbed and ran out.
, they were shouting and chasing.
Emperor Wen Zhao also said to Zuo Chuandian, "Look, who said everyone is not happy? Is this because they are not happy?"
The only ones who are not happy are obviously those senior officials!
Tongtong was happy. It was like a child going to plant trees at school. If he had to dig holes and plant trees at home, would he be happy? But he felt so happy to have so many friends together.
The officials below are most likely in this mood at the moment.
Once the fire is over, let's do it.
Fourth Master used a shovel to plow the ground. The grass roots below were really tangled and difficult to clean. They had to plow deeply to get out all the roots. Then Tongtong had to use a rake to rake the untangled grass roots together.
place, then clean it up into a pile, and finally burn it with a fire.
When a shovel goes down, there is a sound of digging up grass roots, which shows how dense it is down there.
Link looked at his son-in-law, he was doing a decent job.
Looking at my daughter again, she is thin and frail, but she looks really sharp.
This is really a case of marrying a chicken and following the chicken, marrying a dog and following the dog. After marrying the prince, this concubine has done a very good job!
Before the two shovels went down, I heard Xiao Si screaming: "Lin San...rabbit! Rabbit!"
Several rabbits ran out of the fire and fled in all directions. Tongtong picked up the garbage, raised his hand and threw it, hitting a rabbit on the head. The rabbit jumped, and after a moment's hesitation, Xiaowu pounced on it.
He pinned the rabbit down and then lay on the ground unable to get up, "Quick! Quick! He's not dead yet!"
She was frightened by the live rabbit lying underneath!
Zhao Defeng went over and reached out to Xiao Wu's arms and grabbed a rabbit that was still kicking. Xiao Wu got up and raised his hand to wipe his face: "The rabbit just kicked my face... is it hurt?"
Link teased Xiao Wu, "Where are you kicking?"
Xiaowu pointed on his face, "Here?"
Link had a serious face and said, "The left side of your face is red. Does it hurt?"
Ah? Xiao Wu changed the right side of his face and touched it here and there, which made everyone in the circle laugh.
The ground had just been burnt, and it was so dark that Xiao Wu forgot to play with it. He was covered in black, and the black ash on his hands was smeared on one side of his face and a smear on his face on the other.
Xiaosi akimbo laughed loudly: "I'm afraid that's what it will be like when you come out of the coal mine!"
Xiao Wu lowered his head, looked at his hand again, and stamped his feet, "Uncle Third!"
Emperor Wen Zhao looked at it happily, but then he felt a little sad. He turned his face and said to the queen, "When we were young, we didn't have a world like Da Chen! At that time, we were just like Xiao Wu, playing around our uncle...
"
The queen said: "If Taizu could see the current scene, I'm afraid he would be very happy."
That is! He will definitely be happy.
As he said that, he swung the hoe hard and brought up a large piece of soil. "Look at the grass roots. I'm afraid the grass in this field won't be able to be removed in seven or eight years."
Han Zongdao knelt down and twirled the soil, "Removing the silt from the river can fertilize the land. We will have to think of ways to fertilize it later."
That’s right! It’s easy to open up wasteland, but it’s difficult to control it! Without ten years of hard work, there will be no results.
Emperor Wen Zhao swung the hoe for a while, and he was able to walk three or four meters. He raised his head, stretched his waist, and swept it. Oops, it's a good thing that he came out to open up wasteland, otherwise no one would really farm the land!
Look at Da Lang, he is worse than his wife in wielding a hoe.
Yes! Zheng Yuanniang is used to doing work, so she is strong at least. "I used to plant flowers for..., so what year doesn't I clean up the flowerbed? I can do this job."
You can't even do it! The eldest prince took the shovel and said, "I'll do it! I'll do it! The hoe can't dig deep."
"First cut off one layer, then use the shovel..."
Let's do it! The eldest prince followed Zheng Yuanniang and pushed the shovel down. He couldn't dig it in and squeezed it deep.
Emperor Wen Zhao looked extremely uncomfortable, but he was not without strength. He could go to the battlefield, ride a horse and shoot arrows with ease, but his posture when picking up farm tools was wrong.
The second prince wiped his sweat and shouted: "Father, you have to use a plow!" You can use oxen, mules, and horses, so why do you have to use human power?
Someone must have been muttering about this! Emperor Wen Zhao shouted: "Is it possible that every household has a cow?"
"That manpower! I pull the plow!"
Link Yong finally found the coolie, "Yes! Here comes the plow! Erlang, wait, Third Uncle will find it for us."
It seems that it is not that easy to use the plow, and the coordination is not in one place.
Tongtong looked tired, so he worked slowly with the shovel, just scratching the ground. Using the plow could wear out his neck and shoulders.
Get a plow, and everyone gathered around to study it. Wulang said it would work, but Liulang said it would be too laborious. The third prince-in-law was more reliable, at least it was a bit like the same thing.
The fourth master straightened up and looked over. He saw that the clan was like this, and that most civil and military officials were like this. Many people in the distance who did not dare to approach, saw that no one was chasing them, so they squatted aside and kept watching. They must also be laughing in their hearts.
Tongtong asked Fourth Master: "What are you thinking about?"
Think about that song! What do the words on the song say?
"A plow ox can occupy half a field. The harvest depends on the sky, and the shortage depends on the sky..."
Tongtong looked up at the sky. Damn it, how many years has it been sunny?
The fourth master threw down his hoe and walked towards the people who were watching. Now the people who are idle are all old farmers, and now it is time to invite a few old farmers to the court to be their teachers.
As soon as he left, Tongtong hurriedly went to find Emperor Wen Zhao. He was used to calling the shots, but when he was in a mood, he forgot that he was just the prince! You can't do this!
