Chapter 1505 Fainted

In a blink of an eye, it was spring plowing. The emperor wanted to plow the spring himself. He brought not only the princes, but also a group of ministers with him. He went there for two days and lived in the arranged Zhuangzi.

While packing her luggage, Zhulan muttered, "Spring plowing is the most tiring time, and I don't know if you can bear it these two days."

Zhou Shuren is not worried, "I am at this age, and it is not my turn to work hard, so you can rest assured."

Moreover, he has the experience of farming with the Supreme Emperor, so he is really not afraid of farming.

Zhulan, "The purpose of this spring plowing is to let the ministers save and cherish food in the future. Do you think the meals prepared by the emperor will be coarse grains?"

Zhou Shuren stopped being idle, "Quickly ask the kitchen to prepare some more jerky for me, yes, and make some meat floss as well."

Zhulan, "When you report back in the morning, I'll have someone prepare it. Not only are there dried meat, but also some pickles to go with your meal. I also cooked some eggs for you."

Zhou Shuren lay back down again, "That's enough, it's only two days in total. Hey, this year the emperor's thoughts are all on food. Today I saw the booklet I wrote on the emperor's desk. There are traces on the edge of the booklet. The emperor didn't Less research."

"The root cause of the food shortage lies in the yield. There were no high-yield grains in ancient times. In fact, more research can be done on fertilizers."

Zhou Shuren tilted his head, "You think there is no research, there are few livestock and not much manure, and fertilizer research is not easy, anyway, I don't understand."

Zhulan didn't understand either, "Hey, when it comes to livestock, there is no large-scale breeding near the capital."

Zhou Shuren squinted his eyes, "The tribes in the grassland have rich experience in raising cattle and sheep in groups. It would be a waste for them to be idle in the capital."

Zhulan knew Shuren a lot, "You still remember Prince Erge's plan, you want to pay it back."

"It's still my daughter-in-law who understands me. Wen Li was sent to the Zhuangzi. This son can't forget it. This kind of ambitious person who has no bottom line should be sent to the suburbs without a chance to make a living. Breeding is suitable for him."

Waiting for tomorrow and the emperor to reveal that a breeding farm will be opened in the outer suburbs near the grassland, this prince will not be able to return to Beijing easily.

In the morning of the next day, Changyi was also wearing coarse clothes. All the officials in the capital, and only a few people from each department were left to watch, and the rest had to go to spring plowing.

Mingyun of the Hanlin Academy was lucky to stay, and Changzhi also wanted to go with him.

The father and son were sitting in a carriage, Changzhi said: "It is true that people rely on clothes. Now that they are dressed in coarse cloth, father and second brother really don't look like court officials."

Zhou Shuren had already looked in the mirror in the morning. The only difference between him and the rural old man was that his face was paler. "If you have nothing to say, shut up."

Changyi didn't say anything.

He doesn't look like an official without his official uniform.

Changzhi touched his nose, the old man was not happy.

At the gate of the city, there was a long line of carriages, Zhou Shuren pushed open the window of the carriage and took a look. If there were hot weapons, they could be handled in one pot, and there would be no danger now, so the emperor dared to bring so many officials out of Beijing.

The place of spring plowing is in Huangzhuang. The grain grown this year will be donated to the common people. Huangzhuang is not far away. When we get off the carriages one after another, the emperor does not arrange residences according to his official position. Those who have sons can live with them. Who makes filial piety greater than heaven? There is nothing wrong with a son serving his father.

Zhou Shuren has two sons by his side, and Wang Jue envies him to death. His elder son is an official in another place, and his younger son is not old, so no one takes care of him.

Lord Yu's eldest son has arrived, and Lord Liu's eldest son has stayed in Beijing.

Zhou Shuren gathered a lot of people here, and because they are in-laws, he chose a small courtyard.

At this time, the power of the court can be seen, and they are basically in a group.

As soon as the people settled down, the father-in-law came to send a message, "Daily meals need to be prepared by the adults themselves. The food is distributed according to each person, and the adults are invited to collect it by themselves."

Zhou Shuren and others, "."

It was cruel enough to not even give them food.

Wang Juo waited for the father-in-law to leave, and said with a smile: "It's better to bring a boy over here, otherwise I have to cook by myself."

Zhou Shuren let out a chuckle, "It's as if you've cooked."

Wang Zhuo, "."

A gentleman is far away from the kitchen, but he has never been in the kitchen.

Mr. Liu is a junior, "I'll go get the food."

Master Liu, "Go."

Changyi has already gone to the kitchen to look, "Fortunately, the firewood is full."

Zhou Shuren, "I'm going back to rest for a while, and I have to work after lunch."

Changyi said to Changzhi, "You help daddy to rest, and I'll go around the neighborhood."

Changzhi, "OK."

Zhou Shuren went back to the house and sat down. Changzhi and Jinyan shopped for the luggage. Zhou Shuren took a rest, and Jinyan went to light the fire to make tea for a while, while Changzhi led the servants to clean up.

Zhou Shuren didn't sleep either, he closed his eyes and meditated, feeling in his heart that it would be better if his son was by his side.

Changyi came in quickly, knowing that his father was not asleep, he said, "Father, what I brought back was stored grain, and there were not many vegetables, and the only meat was a piece of meat. Dad, I'll go around and see if I can hunt some rabbits." .”

Zhou Shuren opened his eyes, "Don't go, the emperor doesn't care what we bring, but going out to hunt now, the emperor doesn't allow it, your mother is well prepared, and don't worry about it these two days."

Changyi felt sorry for his father, who was the thinnest in the family, "Then son, go prepare lunch."

"Well, tell your Uncle Wang to put all the things you brought together and eat together in the future."

"good."

Changyi told his father's proposal, and everyone in the yard agreed, and Wang Jue brought snacks, as did Yu's and Liu's families, and Liu's family was lucky to stay in the capital and not come.

In the end, Zhou's family brought the most complete things. The lunch at noon was made by Changyi watching the servant.

Wang Zuo took a bite of the jerky, "The beef jerky from your house is still delicious. Next time I get beef, you can ask the cook at your house to help me make some."

Zhou Shuren, "Let's talk about it after you can get beef."

The beef his family eats now is still delivered by Rong Chuan, and there is no way to deliver it in the future. The temperature rises and the meat is easy to spoil.

Wang Zuo was silent, not to mention beef, mutton is scarce, now it is spring plowing, no one dares to move their minds on cattle, before when there was no such shortage of food, Zhuangzi died one or two cattle, as long as it was a legitimate reason, no one caught them Hold on, not now.

They went down without a break, and all went to the fields. The emperor stood in front with the prince, and divided the work according to age. Zhou Shuren was assigned the job of throwing seeds, which was not easy.

The emperor is serious about digging holes, and the ministers can only bite the bullet and work hard.

Zhou Shuren didn't have any sons to help, and his two young sons went to dig a hole to do hard work. After a while, Zhou Shuren's waist was hanging down, and he really missed modern mechanization.

He glanced around, hey, he did it fast, and his eyes fell on Mrs. Wen, who was already drenched in sweat.

Looking up at the emperor in front of him, Zhou Shuren raised his eyebrows. The emperor and the prince are still working dully, not pretending.

Zhou Shuren continued to work. After a while, he heard movement behind him. He turned his head and saw that Master Wen had fainted. Zhou Shuren walked over numbly, "Why did Master faint? Come on, let me see."

Everyone, "."
