Chapter seven hundred and twentieth five masters of the field
Zhang Xuansu was furious, pointed at Du He, and said: "Du He, don't try to sow trouble between me and His Highness the Crown Prince. I am His Highness the Crown Prince's teacher... As the crown prince, how can you be compared to a sow?"
Du He laughed: "Master Zhang, do you mean that His Majesty, the Crown Prince, can't even compare to a sow?"
Li Chengqian: "..."
Zhang Xuansu flicked his sleeves: "Du He, you are sophistry. Where have I ever said such a thing? How can a sow be compared to His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Du He smiled faintly and said: "Look, you have compared His Highness the Crown Prince to a sow. He should be beheaded! Your Highness, I seriously suspect that Zhang Xuansu is a spy sent by Tibet. He is pretending to be the Crown Prince.
Deep down in my heart, I think that Your Highness, you and a sow can be compared, which is simply unreasonable... Your Highness, please give the order, as long as you give the order, I will chop off this dog's head to make pig feed!"
Zhang Xuansu almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
Before he came, he thought he could eat Dingduhe.
Unexpectedly, before we even started discussing the business, Du He defeated his entire army.
"Your Highness, I have a sincere heart towards Your Highness, and I never dare to disobey Your Highness in my heart. Du He's move is to sow discord between Your Highness and Your Majesty. Your Highness, please be aware of this!" Zhang Xuansu realized that the quarrel he was having could not be caused by Du He.
His opponent turned to Li Chengqian for help.
Li Chengqian glared at Du He: "Du He, don't mess around with me. I'm asking you now. I arrived in Hu County yesterday. Why didn't you come to greet me? Is it because you don't see me?"
Du He looked calm and indifferent, and even blinked at Zhang Xuansu: "Your Highness, no, I don't see Your Highness in my eyes? What kind of dog is saying this behind my back? This kind of person should be dragged out to raise pigs.
…”
Zhang Xuansu couldn't help but vomit blood again.
I heard Du He say indignantly: "Your Highness is like the moon in the sky in my heart, full of brilliance and unparalleled. Not to mention one sow, even ten thousand sows cannot compare with His Highness's grace..."
Li Chengqian shook his sleeves angrily: "...Okay, Du He, please don't mess around. You haven't answered my question yet."
"Oh," Du He said, "When it comes to welcoming His Highness and raising pigs, I think raising pigs is more important."
"Um?"
Li Chengqian frowned.
Zhang Xuansu looked proud.
He seemed to have seen the result of Du He being scolded by Li Chengqian.
Look at your arrogance!
This means that those who do unrighteousness will be punished by themselves!
Du He explained unhurriedly: "Your Highness, pig raising is one of the three major policies of Hu County. It is related to the life and death of the entire Hu County, and it is also related to the stability of the Tang Dynasty. Just imagine, what I did last night
Not welcoming His Highness in person would at most make His Highness unhappy. But if I hadn't gone to the pig farm to keep an eye on it last night, something went wrong with the twelve sows. There would be no white-skinned pigs in the whole world, and pig raising would fail. Huxian County
If only one of the three major policies fails, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people may starve to death as a result. Your Highness and your party are kind-hearted and people-oriented, how can you not understand this truth?"
Li Chengqian was so surprised that he opened his mouth wide: "Du He, don't exaggerate. How is it possible to raise pigs to ensure that hundreds of thousands of people don't starve to death? According to what you said, the same goes for your farming?"
"That's right, His Highness is really sharp-eyed. He can see at a glance that among the three major policies of Hu County, the most important is the policy of farming. Farming has been an important policy of the imperial court since ancient times. It is to encourage people to plant and improve their crops.
Grain production, but since ancient times, the imperial court has only taught the people that they should farm and grow more land, but they have not taught the people how to farm, how to increase production, and how to use limited land to grow more food...
...By the way, Mr. Zhang wrote a poem to encourage farmers when he was young. I think it is nonsense and harmful to people..." Du He suddenly looked at Zhang Xuansu.
Zhang Xuansu jumped out like an angry cat: "Du He, you can humiliate me, but you can't humiliate my article."
"Haha, Mr. Zhang, have you ever farmed?"
"I am a scholar, how can I go farming?" Zhang Xuansu looked at Du He unhappily.
Du He sneered: "Since you have never farmed, why can you write a poem to encourage farmers? How do you know that what you write is not nonsense?"
"I am familiar with ancient books, and I know all the scruples about "Essential Art of Qi Min" by heart." Zhang Xuansu said angrily.
Du He: "Oh, I admire it, Mr. Zhang, then you should recite it and listen to it."
Zhang Xuansu was choked to the point of being speechless.
Li Chengqian said displeasedly: "Du He, don't talk nonsense. I have read the teacher's poem to encourage farmers dozens of times. It is very well written. If you don't understand, don't pretend to understand."
"Your Highness, I don't understand farming, but there are people who do. Is what Lord Zhang wrote nonsense? I don't care, His Highness says it doesn't matter. Lord Zhang, this dog... This loyal guy doesn't care.
Forget it, let’s ask a few referees and we’ll find out!” Du He said with a smile.
Li Chengqian was stunned: "What do you mean?"
Du He smiled and said: "Your Highness and Mr. Zhang, please come with me..."
Immediately, Du He took Li Chengqian and Zhang Xuansu away from the county government office and walked south. Finally, they left the city and walked for about a stick of incense to the farming area of Hu County.
Looking around, tens of thousands of acres of land and flat plains are all occupied by farmland.
At the entrance is a temporary wooden house, which is the workers' dormitory and the office of the farm office.
Du He sent someone to find the old man and asked him to find some farming masters who had been hired at a high price.
Not long after, Li Chengqian saw more than a dozen farmhands in the simple conference room at the farm, all of them honest and fair-skinned.
Du He introduced: "Your Highness, these are all farming masters that our farming office hired from all over Gyeonggi Province at a high price. The one in the middle was praised by the Supreme Emperor back then..."
"Come on, old master, let me read this poem to encourage farmers, and ask the experts to judge it!" Du He took out the poem to encourage farmers written by Zhang Xuansu and handed it to the old master.
The old man chuckled and started talking about it.
It took me a long time to finally finish reading.
But he saw that two of the dozen or so masters working in the fields were already asleep.
When Zhang Xuansu saw it, he shouted in his heart, "Play the harp to an ox, play the harp to an ox!"
Du He stood up and asked, "Dear father-in-laws, do you understand this exhortation to farmers?"
A few old men were a little hesitant.
Du He smiled slightly: "It's not like you don't know the temper of this county. If you have any questions, feel free to speak out!"
The old man in the middle saw this and said directly: "County Lord, with all due respect, this article is nonsense!"
Snapped.
Zhang Xuansu was furious after hearing this. He slammed the table, stood up, pointed at the other person and said, "Do you know how to write an article? Do you know what this article means?"
