Watching Zhao Lie leave first, the VIP Pavilion fell silent for a while, and after a while, the crown prince Zhao Hanqing said to Li Chengfeng: "Tomorrow is the Spring Ploughing Festival, are you free in the morning?" ”

Li Chengfeng said: "Your Highness has something to do, and Weichen should follow his own actions." ”

Zhao Hanqing smiled slightly and said, "Then tomorrow morning, see you in the eastern suburbs of the city." ”

After speaking, the prince also got up and left, leaving Li Chengfeng to look at the bustling crowd downstairs thoughtfully.

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

The eastern outskirts of the castle is the famous Imperial Land near Shenjing, and the farmland here belongs to the Imperial Family, but it is usually rented to farmers, and since the proportion of rent collected by the Imperial Family is very low, the Imperial Land that can be rented here is a great blessing for tenants.

The annual spring ploughing festival, according to the rules, is the first day of spring ploughing with the old farmers side by side in the farmland of the emperor or prince in the royal family.

But with Zhao Bairen's neglect of government, how could an emperor who was not even willing to go to court on time every time in the early dynasty be willing to come to this farmland early in the morning to plow the land with the old farmers?

This is the rule set by Emperor Taizu, the purpose is to let future generations not forget the truth that "water can carry a boat and also capsize a boat" and "the safety of the world is only a matter of agriculture", in their opinion, the only thing in the world that can threaten the rule of the royal family is one and only one thing.

It was not a threat from the cultivation world, nor from the Nine Hells Hades King, but from the common people's food problem.

The common people can eat enough, so even if the cultivation world plays a dog's brain, the world is as stable as Mount Tai, if the common people can't eat enough, even if the cultivation world supports the royal family, it is useless!

This is how the previous dynasty was overthrown by the Great Qi!

No cultivation sect hopes that the world will be in chaos, because the chaos in the world means a sharp decline in population and income, which will also greatly harm their interests, so 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 eating, so the people finally couldn't bear it anymore, and rose up, forming a spark in the prairie fire, and the cultivation world saw that the general trend was wrong, and immediately reversed the direction and chose to support Qi Taizu, and the previous dynasty was thus destroyed.

Therefore, the Spring Ploughing Festival is an extremely important festival in Daqi, which is an important show activity for the royal family of Daqi, at least in Li Chengfeng's eyes.

Li Chengfeng just came here and found that this place has been surrounded by the forbidden army, at least 30,000 forbidden troops will be around the periphery of the water leakage, through the first layer of the checkpoint, followed by the second layer of the Huangzhuang checkpoint, guarded here is the gold guard, they are responsible for the safety and inspection of the second checkpoint, after passing this level of checkpoints, they came to the farmland near the Huangzhuang, Li Chengfeng at a glance is the endless farmland, near the front of the ridge standing is the prince with a yellow umbrella and others, and the princess and others。

The crown princess, like the crown prince, was dressed plainly and frugally, she was dressed in a yellow robe, and the style and fabric were no different from ordinary peasant women, and she was busy boiling water under this yellow umbrella, and boiling sesame tea for the old peasants and children and women who had not yet gone to the fields here.

When the children smelled the fragrance of sesame tea, they were gluttonous and stared at the steaming teapot, while the peasant women kept saying nice things around the princess.

The crown princess did not dislike them, but carefully taught them some things that they needed to pay attention to when making tea on weekdays.

Li Chengfeng came to the yellow cover umbrella on the side of the ridge road, and the crown princess laughed when she saw Li Chengfeng: "You are Li Chengfeng, right? Come on, come on, this tea is just ready." ”

Li Chengfeng respectfully saluted the crown princess and said, "I've seen the crown princess." ”

The crown princess gave birth to a goose egg face, compared with the concubine of Zhao Liexian, the king of Ping, her appearance is not too unusual, but she looks dignified, has a graceful posture, gestures, and is full of atmosphere and affinity between words and laughter, she waved her hand with a smile and said: "It's all a family, what are you doing outside like this, come on, sit, sit." ”

A little eunuch next to him brought a stool with great discernment, and Li Chengfeng sat down next to him, and then looked to the side.

At this time, in the farmland, the prince was driving the old oxen side by side with eight old farmers to pull the Quyuan plow, what was surprising was that the prince actually took the lead and walked in the front, and I don't know whether these old farmers intended to give in, or the prince was skilled in farming, but what shocked Li Chengfeng was that the prince was dressed exactly like these old farmers at this time, if he hadn't seen the prince, otherwise it would be impossible to distinguish the prince from these farmers at this time.

The same coarse cloth clothes, the same dark skin, the same skillful movements, the same thick voice singing peasant songs, all this...... In Li Chengfeng's view, it is very incredible.

This is the prince of Daqi, the prince of the prison country!

If nothing else, he will be the next emperor of Daqi!!

You know, this is a paddy field, on the first day of spring ploughing, the paddy field is to be fertilized, the fertilizer is human dung and animal manure, they are sprinkled in the farmland after fermentation, and then the farmers turn the field to make them mixed with the farmland.

If nothing else, the smell alone is enough to choke.

Even if Li Chengfeng sits downwind of this sesame tea, there is a strong sesame fragrance smoking, he can smell the stench coming to his face, not to mention that he is barefoot, rolled up his trouser legs, and goes down to this farmland to plow the land!

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

Li Chengfeng thinks that he is a low-level civilian who grew up on the street, and he feels that he can't do this kind of thing!

But the prince did it without any difference, and he did it very well, which shows that he is definitely not an accidental show, and he definitely has rich experience in farm work.

Sure enough, after they finished plowing this large field, a group of people came over wiping their sweat, and a white-bearded old farmer led by him gave a thumbs up to the prince and said: "Your Highness is really powerful, Your Highness was not so skilled last year, I didn't think that I wouldn't see him for a year, and the old man couldn't catch up with His Highness!"

The prince had a white towel on his shoulder, and while wiping his sweat, he said with a smile: "Where, it's just practice makes perfect!"

The old farmer sighed: "Your Highness's diligence and benevolence are really the blessings of our grass people, if all the officials in the world are like Your Highness, I am afraid that this is heaven on earth!"

The prince also sighed a little embarrassed, patted the old farmer's shoulder, and said: "It's going to be okay, it's going to get better and better, Uncle Zheng must take care of his body and bones, wait two more years, and everything will be fine." ”

"Hey, the old man must wait until this day!" The old farmer called Uncle Zheng had tears in his eyes and nodded heavily.

Zhao Hanqing went up the ridge, came to the yellow umbrella, took the footsteps handed over by the crown princess, and wiped the foul sludge on his feet in front of Li Chengfeng, he smiled and said, "Has Brother Li Xian ever gone down to the farmland?"

Li Chengfeng shook his head and said with admiration: "The prince is really a model in the world, in the next, admire ......"

Zhao Hanqing sighed and said: "My father and emperor have not been in good health in recent years, and as a son, he should serve himself, not to mention that the royal family is a model for the world, the royal family is extravagant for a point, the world is extravagant for an inch, the royal family wastes a foot more, the world wastes an extra meter! 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, he will become a Ming monarch one day!"

Zhao Hanqing shook his head and said, "This is not the place to talk, you come with me." ”

After Zhao Hanqing wiped his feet, he changed into official boots, and walked all the way forward along the ridge with Li Chengfeng, and the entourage 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 and your sister are in love, do you have this intention?"

Li Chengfeng's heart was shocked, he finally understood what the prince was looking for him to do today......

This, this is going to be a matchmaker?!
