This greeting procession was not only these people from the Wang family, but also slaves and servants from the capital, who on the one hand were the low-level people who were afraid of the imperial power, and on the other hand, they thought that they were higher than those who had not seen the world in these small places of the Wang family. Therefore, some of the royal family members who followed the Emperor Taishang were squeezed outside step by step, and they followed step by step. Er Ya didn't see it before, but after seeing that the people who followed him were the slaves or servants of those families in the capital, he was very annoyed, so he dragged Xiaohu, who was still talking to the emperor, and dragged him back, giving up the seat closest to the emperor to the slaves of the unknown family.

The Emperor Taishang listened to Xiaohu's voice a little far away from him, and turned his head to see that it was no longer Wang Xiaohu who was following the guards, but a slave dressed in the uniform of an official in the capital bent over and followed him extremely respectfully. The Emperor Taishang did not treat this servant because he was extremely respectful and humble, but asked the guards beside him in a cold voice: "What?" When will other people's minions be able to walk with you? Forgot your duty? ”

As soon as the emperor's voice fell, there were a lot of people kneeling on the ground, and Er Ya turned his head to look left and right inexplicably, so he had to kneel down as well. The Emperor pointed to a group of people dressed in the costumes of his subordinates and said, "Throw them all out!" ”

Erya, who understood what was going on, also secretly regretted that she shouldn't have been angry for a while. If that's an assassin or something, it's not your own trouble! Suddenly remembered that it was because he saw many guards surrounding the Emperor Taishang that he was relieved to pull Xiaohu away, and it was not without any precautions.

After cleaning up the outsiders. Emperor Taishang was also curious, and asked Director Shi: "Why are there so many minions from the capital?" Are they all looking for you to learn? ”

Curator Shi smiled: "Definitely! I came to the owner to ask for marriage. The proprietor was overwhelmed and was about to hide in the field. It just so happens that the Emperor is here! ”

The Emperor shook his head when he heard this, what these people think, he may know better than those people himself. As long as they are clearly listed with the emperor, no matter how fragrant and smelly, they do not want to lose the opportunity to marry. It is nothing more than what businessmen call investment, businessmen earn money, and they earn power. It seems that the Wang family is not stupid. I didn't get dizzy because of this, but I thought of avoiding it.

Look at the high and thick wall inside the gate, and look at the moat with red flowers and willows on both sides. From time to time, there are big fish jumping, and the vibrant scene makes the emperor, who is used to seeing the flowers and plants in the imperial garden, also have a different joy.

"That fish looks so big, and there are still fish in this river?"

Curator Shi saw that the Emperor seemed to be interested in the fish in the river. Just fishing words. Unrealistic. However, casting nets can be done at any time.

"The Emperor! We do raise a lot of fish in this river, and we only collect two nets every year during the New Year, and give one or two to the residents of the town to eat for the New Year. There must be a lot of these big fish, or I'll let them take nets and boats, so you can see the big guys fishing, it's a very festive scene. ”

"Good! The widow has never seen a fishing scene! ”

Erya was already anxious when she heard this. Immediately volunteered to take the order.

There are not many others in the Wang family, but there are many people. What is the advantage of having more people, that is, it is easy to do things! At this moment, Er Ya took the order and left, and someone over there had already taken out the fishing nets, hooks, boats, and pennies in the warehouse. Then there were a few people who were specially supporting the bottom in the water, busy wearing special water clothes for the water, and when the boat was launched by the river, the fishing nets were also loaded with sunken stones, and some people who wore water clothes also came to the river in a mighty way.

Then, the Emperor Taishang was very sad to find that he was not as popular as fishing in the river in the eyes of the children. On this shore of the town stood full of adults and children, and when the fishing nets moved, these people ran after the fishing nets, and some women also happily ran behind the fishing nets, all forgetting that there was a emperor here.

The Emperor naturally wouldn't run like everyone else, but this fishing net doesn't go fast, and he can follow it if he walks slowly. From time to time, big fish jumped high above the fishing net, and adults and children shouted excitedly, and the emperor and his old man suddenly felt that he had become smaller, and he did not hold back his throat, but would shout along.

"Yikes! The fish jumped out! As soon as the Emperor Taishang shouted, he subconsciously clenched his hand into a half-fist, put it on his lips, and pretended to have an itchy throat. The guards held back a smile, pretending not to see the people around them, secretly hunting for dangerous people.

There were more and more fish in the nets, and when they reached the place where the bridge was crossed, the bridge gate was lowered and the nets were collected from there. Today, this fish seems to be welcoming the emperor, and the fishing nets are almost too full to come up.

"That's a lot of fish! Mother! Come home and bring the basket, our family can get a big fish today. The children in the town shouted anxiously for their mother.

His mother didn't really forget that the emperor was here, and immediately replied angrily to her son: "I have a guest today, I want to give the guest food, what kind of fish to share!" Just scream! ”

The head of the history hall laughed loudly and said to everyone: "You all live in the town, go home and get things, so many fish can't be eaten, and they always have to be distributed to everyone." ”

Some of the smaller fish and the ones with big bellies were thrown back into the river, and there were still a lot left.

The largest fish weighed more than 30 pounds and was a grass bastard. The librarian kicked the fish and said to the Emperor: "Don't look at the big fish, the meat is not delicious at all, it is so rough!" I'll let them keep all those white mouths for you, the fish doesn't look wild, but its meat is delicate, the braised soup is delicious, and it is very fragrant! ”

Taishanghuang has eaten a lot of freshwater fish and saltwater fish, but I have never eaten this kind of fish that cannot be put on the table. Since Shi Changyun said it was delicious, then try it?

Looking at the big fish and small fish spread all over the ground, this feeling is really cool. The children are scurrying around, this wants this, that wants that, you shout and I scream, it is noisy and lively. Some of the adults were helping to pick the fish in the pile, and some of the people who were not busy were standing far away from the emperor. Ever since the Emperor Taishang reprimanded those minions, they would also be afraid to get too close. Several people in the official palace also stood behind the Emperor Taishang through the guards. Curator Shi and Xiaohu stood next to Emperor Taishang on the left and right. Shi Jingxuan stood in the fish pile and was busy distributing fish to the children in the town. In the past, women carried baskets and picked out the fish they liked and set them aside, waiting for the fish to be divided. Tell the housekeeper that as long as the portion is not too outrageous, under normal circumstances, it will not change. Today, because the Emperor is here, the women are embarrassed to do this in front of the Emperor, and this responsibility is handed over to the children. Adults will squirm because there are super-big people here, but kids don't care. They all like big fish, and they all rush to hold them, and in a moment they are covered in the slimy stuff of the fish and the black mud. The mother's heart is annoyed. But he didn't dare to scold in front of the emperor, so he could only hold back his anger and laugh.

The Emperor Taishang was very happy when he saw these children, anyway, he didn't need to wash the clothes, of course he wouldn't care. Some of these children are still very young. I often trip over big jumping fish in the fish pile. The child who fell to the ground did not cry, but turned over and hugged the fish, calling his mother: "Mother! Come on! That's what my family wants! The Emperor laughed and followed everyone's eyes to find the child's mother in the crowd of women, and the child's mother was so ashamed that she shrank into the pile.

After so many years of experience in separating fish, Shi Jingxuan quickly divided the fish from each family. Among the leftover fish, some delicious miscellaneous fish are selected or boiled in soup or braised or steamed for the emperor to eat, and the other fish are sent to the factory canteen, which is regarded as a meat dish at noon.

Xiaohu took the Emperor Taishang to visit several factories again. This Emperor Taishang is a very principled superior. When he saw that there were guards guarding both ends of the bridge, preventing idle people from entering. He raised his hand to let those who followed stop, and he took the guards and Xiaohu into the factory area to visit.

Seeing such a machine that he had never seen before, the Emperor Taishang was always a little surprised, he wanted to know about the affairs of Hepu Town, but he was not shocked to see it with his own eyes. These machines are different from agricultural tools, which are closely related to agricultural production, so he did not ask Xiaohu why these machines are not made public. But when he saw the multi-spindle spinning wheel in the spinning workshop, he said: "This spinning wheel should be promoted!" ”

Xiaohu nodded and replied respectfully: "Return to the Emperor!" This kind of multi-spindle spinning wheel was opened to the market after the success of the original year, and now many textile workshops use this spinning wheel. ”

The Emperor Taishang nodded with satisfaction, and said in his heart: I know that this Wang family is not the conservative family.

Seeing the cotton strips, he remembered Xiaolong's transformation of the western penal colony, so he asked Xiaohu: "Hengtai transformed in the west and replanted a large area of land over there with cotton, do you have a different opinion on his practice?" ”

"Return to the Emperor! Xiaomin agreed with his approach, and heard that the land over there is not suitable for growing grain, but it is suitable for growing cotton, and any crop planted on our side can have a good harvest, but cotton is not the best. In this case, cotton will be planted over there, and the land where we will grow cotton will be vacated for crops. When the time comes, exchange the crops here for the cotton over there, everyone will have their own place, and won't they all be good?! ”

Only then did the Emperor Taishang know Xiaolong's original intention of transformation, he let go of Xiaolong's transformation of the west, without the slightest intention of interfering, and he didn't even ask, what he was afraid of was that Xiaolong misunderstood his meaning and didn't dare to do things boldly. However, Xiaolong converted all the exile land to cotton planting, and only left a few acres of land for each family to live on to grow potatoes. When he got the news, he was very unstable in his heart, and only because he wanted to see how the follow-up situation was, he never invited Xiaolong into the palace for questioning. This will be considered to be known, and then he asks, "All this cotton was exchanged from the west?" How many pounds of rice do you need for a pound of cotton? ”

Xiaohu replied: "Back to the emperor's words!" Because Xiaomin had signed an exchange contract with that side before, he exchanged four catties of fine rice for each catty of cotton. I heard that if others go, it is only five catties of good rice that can be exchanged for one catty of cotton. At present, the cotton used here is basically exchanged from the west! ”

"Do you go to the west to change cotton?"

"Return to the Emperor! Because the western cotton is white and bright, the velvet is long, and there are few impurities, and the woven cloth is all high-grade fine cloth. Therefore, there is simply not enough cotton in the west. I heard that many people brought grain over last year, but they couldn't get it back. However, it is all used as a deposit, and it should be possible to pull some back this year. ”

Xiaohu didn't look up, otherwise he would have seen the Emperor Taishang looking at a pile of cotton with a smile and squinting obscenely. (To be continued.) )

ps: There will be two more later today, tomorrow because it's Sunday, only one watch pre-saved tonight, there will be no two watches, I'm sorry to everyone!
