When the news spread, faced with the disaster-stricken farmers from eight villages in ten miles coming to seek refuge in Shenjiazhuang, Shen Lie refused to accept anyone who came.
In just three days, the Shenjiazhuang Cooperative has absorbed more than a hundred farmers who were affected by the disaster. After contracts were signed in black and white,
The farmland controlled by the cooperative has reached thousands of acres.
Then something surprising happened. The farmers who had found a way to survive after the disaster knelt on the ground outside the tall archway in Shenjiazhuang.
"Zhu Shen is benevolent and righteous!"
"Living Bodhisattva!"
Voices praising merits kept coming one after another. Shen Lie and the villagers could not stop them, so they had to stand at the entrance and endure the devout worship of the farmers.
this day.
Seeing the farmers helping the old and the young outside the village gate, hundreds of people knelt on the ground in darkness.
Shen Lie fell silent.
At this time, the weather was good, and a heavy rain fell just after the thunder and lightning.
Taking advantage of the fact that the land was moist after the rain, and with the overwhelming gratitude of the farmers, Shen Lie ordered people to distribute a large number of sweet potatoes and potato seeds.
As a result, thousands of acres of land centered on Shenjiazhuang quietly regained its vitality.
A few days later.
early morning.
In the hot summer.
Shenjiazhuang, with the Yanshan Mountains at its back, is quite cool inside.
Cicada shouted hard.
At dawn.
As the orders for the villagers to perform exercises rang out.
Shen Lie hurriedly walked out of the bedroom, stretched out in front of the rising sun, and paced slowly on the re-seeded field ridges with his hands behind his back.
Not far away are the fish ponds, chicken coops, pig pens, biogas digesters, vegetable greenhouses that were just dug...
Shen Lie involuntarily raised his head and looked at Zhuang Ding, who was practicing not far away.
And the tall gate tower.
A few days ago, in eight villages within ten miles, hundreds of farmers, men, women, old and young, prostrated themselves on the ground, praising his benevolence and righteousness. The scene is still vivid in my mind.
The shock brought by that picture made Shen Lie's heart surge and he could not calm down for a long time. He murmured to himself: "How much do the people want?"
Tian Hong, who was practicing Taoist Baduanjin on the side, heard this and responded in surprise: "Huh?"
But Shen Lie just stared blankly and kept mumbling: "The people just want a bite to eat, they just want to survive."
Tian Hong nodded instinctively.
But Shen Lie murmured again: "But why can't they leave a bite for the people to eat and keep them alive?"
Tian Hong was stunned and asked in confusion: "Who?"
Shen Lie said no more.
Tian Hong thought for a while, thoughtfully.
a long time.
Shen Lie seemed to wake up from a deep dream and warned again: "Hurry up and distribute the seeds. Don't miss the farming season. It will be troublesome when the weather dries."
Tian Hong woke up from the world and hurriedly responded: "Okay!"
At this moment.
Several horses came galloping from the official road in the distance. The Dongchang warriors in brown clothes dismounted outside the village and hurried into the village.
A stall owner full of energy knelt down on one knee in front of Shen Lie and said respectfully: "Master Shen, His Majesty has urgently summoned you to the palace to meet the Holy Spirit."
Judging from the looks on the faces of these Dongchang warriors at this stall, this respect is sincere.
Shen Lie nodded and said warmly: "Okay, let's go now."
Shen Lie hurriedly walked back to the room, washed his face and put on his official uniform, then walked out quickly, wanting to get his old horse out of the stable.
Tian Hong couldn't stand it any longer, so he grinned and said, "Ride my horse, your old horse should have been replaced long ago.
Shen Lie smiled and said, "Okay."
Ride Tian Hong’s five-flowered horse.
Cheered up.
Several riders flew out from Shenjiazhuang like arrows and galloped towards the capital.
Afternoon.
With a lot of dust all over their bodies, Shen Lie and others led their horses and slowly walked into the bustling Chaoyang Gate. At this time, a notice to calm the people was posted outside Chaoyang Gate.
The panic-stricken capital city has finally settled down, and the impact of the locust plague has gradually ended. The cabinet and the Ministry of Revenue have also taken various measures to relieve the victims.
Everything is developing in a good direction.
Shen Lie was about to stop and take a look at what the notice said, but he was repeatedly urged by the stall owner: "Master Shen, we can't delay... let's go quickly."
The implication.
The emperor should be impatient.
Shen Lie could only smile bitterly and said: "Okay, let's go."
Another half hour later.
Xiyuan.
Searched.
I've had my teeth checked.
Shen Lie, led by his guards, quickly walked into the martial arts field by the lake. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the familiar fat figure practicing archery again.
Shen Lie was relieved.
The emperor began to practice martial arts again, which shows that he is in a really good mood.
Shen Lie watched from the side with a smile as he watched the young emperor finish shooting the arrows, mount his horse again, and lead a dozen Dongchang guards to practice charging on horseback.
Cutting down a row of straw man targets.
Looking at the vigorous young emperor, Shen Lie's heart was as bright as a mirror. Why is the emperor so happy?
It's been approved.
After all, this is an eighteen-year-old boy, and among all the boys in the world, the most annoying thing is being lectured by others.
An ordinary teenager will talk back to his parents at home.
Not to mention the emperor?
What a rebellious teenager wants most is for others to care about him, and for him to be recognized and praised by his teachers, mother, and courtiers.
A compliment from the grand master can make him happy for several days.
It took a long time.
After the emperor was completely satisfied, he quickly walked over covered in stinky sweat and showed an appreciative smile to Shen Lie.
"explain!"
Zhu Yijun took the silk cloth handed over by the palace maid, wiped the sweat on his face, smiled at Shen Lie and said: "What can I reward you with?
Shen Lie was well prepared, so he hurriedly bowed and said with a smile: "In my humble opinion, Your Majesty... can reward me with those 100,000 poultry."
Zhu Yijun was stunned.
He originally thought that Shen Lie would refuse, but he never expected that this kid not only did not refuse, but he was so straightforward.
Shen Lie was afraid that he would disagree, so he quickly said a few more words: "Your Majesty, those hundreds of thousands of chickens, ducks and geese are useless if they are left in the hands of Jinyiwei. Jinyiwei doesn't know how to raise them. It would be a pity if they all starve to death..." "
"Pity!"
As he spoke, Shen Lie raised his head and raised his eyebrows at the emperor.
The implication.
Your Majesty, you also know that I own a restaurant and have built a new breeding base outside the city. I need this batch of poultry...
Zhu Yijun was stupid.
The surrounding palace maids and eunuchs were also dumbfounded, staring blankly at Shen Baihu. Perhaps they had never seen such an absurd and uninhibited request in their lives.
a long time.
Only then did Zhu Yijun burst out laughing: "Hahaha, okay... I'll reward you!"
Upon hearing this.
Shen Lie immediately became elated and hurriedly bowed again and shouted at the top of his voice: "Your majesty is wise, I will leave you."
During the conversation.
Shen Lie then bent back and wanted to leave...
Now I have received the reward.
The emperor also met.
Hundreds of thousands of poultry were also obtained.
Shen Lie felt that nothing good would happen if he stayed any longer, so he pretended to be afraid of long nights and dreams, and stepped back step by step, and then stepped back again...
When Shen Lie was about to retreat outside the hospital.
The emperor's low voice sounded in my ears: "Stop!"
