Chapter Twenty-Five: Serving the Prince

While Zhao Zhen was waiting for the prestige points to accumulate, he was not idle.

He has already started planning for Pingshan.

Zhao Hengci's 200 acres of land, plus the 300 acres threatened from Ding Wei's hands, a total of 500 acres of land, is already a lot.

But Zhao Zhen is still not satisfied!

Chen Lin understood Zhao Zhen's thoughts, so he said: "Your Highness, when the official family wanted to build the Daode Heavenly Palace, there were many people like Ding Wei, and thousands of acres of land around Pingshan were in the hands of the ministers of the court, so they wanted to take advantage of the construction of the Daode Heavenly Palace, and they could use the land to make money in the future. ”

Zhao Zhen was happy: "Spend money to buy? ”

Chen Lin: "That's right!"

Zhao Zhen: "If this palace wants to take the land without spending a penny, is there a way?" ”

Chen Lin: "There is no way! ”

Zhao Zhen: "There is no way to think about it, this gang of hookers, in order to forcibly occupy the land, they have done a lot of forced buying and selling, and oppressing the people, and now, this palace is going to do the right thing for heaven!" ”

Chen Lin's face changed greatly: "Your Highness, do you want to rob it?" By no means, at that time, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will stand up to impeach you, and the officials will definitely not favor you. ”

Zhao Zhen pouted, "Rob?" That's what the reckless man said, this palace is a civilized person, and he wants them to send the land obediently. ”

Let Cao use these people to give up the land?

No way!

Chen Lin thought Zhao Zhen was joking.

But he heard Zhao Zhen's instructions: "Chen Banban, go and bring Ding Buju up." ”

It didn't take long for Chen Lin to bring Ding Buju to the main hall.

I haven't seen him for a few days, and Ding Buju has been locked up in vain and fat, and he is a little afraid of light.

This guy walked in and licked his lips: "Your Highness, but it's time for breakfast?" ”

Zhao Zhen listened, with a black line.

Since Zhao Zhen began to instruct the cooks, Pingshan's food has been better than one day at a time.

Even if it was just some leftovers, Ding Buju felt that it was better than the food in Ding's house.

After coming and going, he actually fell in love with the food here and ate fat.

Locked in a warehouse for no day, his biggest daily expectation is to eat.

Zhao Zhen asked, "Ding Buju, do you want to go back to Bianjing?" ”

Ding Bu raised his head and nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Yes, Your Highness, the minister wants to go home in his dreams." ”

Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "That is the case, this palace has given you a task, if you do it well, you can go back." ”

"Please make it clear to Your Highness!" Ding Buju's eyes lit up.

Zhao Zhen beckoned, asked Ding Bu to come over, and then whispered an order.

Ding Buju listened, nodded again and again, and finally couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, if I deceive more...... Ah no, invite a few more people, then can I go to Pingshan for dinner in the future? ”

Zhao Zhen smiled: "If you can invite more than ten people, in the future, the canteen in Pingshan will always be open for you, of course, you need to pay." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, Your Highness, the minister will return to Bianjing City immediately!" Ding Buju said excitedly.

Chen Lin stood aside, dumbfounded!

……

Evening.

The most prosperous area of Bianjing City.

A richly decorated restaurant, among the best wings.

A group of sons and brothers in brocade clothes gathered together.

One of them is Ding Buju.

Beside him, in turn were Cao Bi, the grandson of the privy envoy Cao Yuan, the grandson of the governor Wang Qinruo, and Lin Cheng, the grandson of the third envoy Linte...... There are more than a dozen people in total, all of whom are Ding Buju's fox friends and dog friends, although they are of different generations, they are all called brothers.

Cao Bi asked curiously: "Brother Ding, I heard that you were arrested by the prince to pick up dung during this time, but is there such a thing?" ”

Ding Bu's face darkened, and he said angrily: "Which bastard is spreading rumors?" Brothers, take a good look, I look like I'm going to pick up dung? ”

Everyone looked at it and shook their heads.

Someone was surprised: "Brother Ding, you are fat!" ”

Ding Buju said proudly: "That's right, I did gain a lot of weight, do you know why I got fat after I stayed in Pingshan for a few days?" ”

Everyone shook their heads.

Ding Buju explained: "This is also the purpose of my gathering of you here, I have now become a person of His Royal Highness the Prince, following His Royal Highness, deeply favored by His Royal Highness, I have lived a fairy-like day in Pingshan during this time, Bianjing City is extremely hot, but I can eat popsicles every day in Pingshan, I don't know how hot it is, and His Royal Highness has the posture of a god of food, he personally instructed the chefs in Pingshan to make a meal, which can be called a delicacy in the world, and even the imperial chef in the palace is beyond reach...... Oh, the days in Pingshan are so good, I'm a little happy, I don't want to go back to Bianjing. ”

When everyone heard this, they were envious and drooled, and instantly felt that the delicacies in front of them were not fragrant.

Cao Bi asked, "Brother Ding, do you have to follow the prince in order to enjoy the ice cubes and delicious food?" ”

Ding Buju nodded: "That's nature, these things are very noble, even my father can't enjoy them, only their own people in the East Palace can enjoy them, do you think it's not okay to follow His Highness?" That's a big mistake, His Royal Highness is the prince, and he will ascend the throne as the emperor in the future, I will wait for this time to follow His Highness, and then he will be a meritorious minister, and he will enter the phase, isn't it easy? ”

Lin Cheng suddenly realized: "Yes, Brother Ding has a point!" ”

"Brother Ding, I also want to go to Pingshan and work for His Royal Highness the Prince, I wonder if I can recommend it?"

"Yes, I want to go too!"

"And me!"

More than a dozen people were enthusiastically boiled by Ding Buju's words, and immediately said that they wanted to go to Pingshan to seek refuge with Zhao Zhen.

Ding Buju said with a smile: "Okay, okay, tomorrow morning, I will lead everyone to Pingshan to seek refuge with His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

"Thank you, Brother Ding!"

……

All the corn on Pingshan has been planted.

Li Di thought that he could breathe a sigh of relief, but who knew that Zhao Zhen asked him to continue to reclaim the land.

All of the 500 acres of land should be reclaimed for planting crops in the future.

Li Di was very puzzled.

The corn seeds of these five acres of land can only be planted at least after the beginning of spring next year, why is Zhao Zhen so anxious.

How did he know that Zhao Zhen now has an invincible reputation system, the agricultural lottery function that has been unlocked, as long as there are enough prestige points, you can draw a steady stream of lottery or exchange things that have been obtained by lottery, not to mention anything else, corn seeds are not a problem at all.

The reclamation of 500 acres of land is a huge project.

After a few days, Li Di felt that some people were short of manpower.

Early in the morning, Li Di blocked Zhao Zhen at the door of Pingshan's backyard.

Li Di rolled up his sleeves, rubbed the mud on his calves, and said complainingly: "Your Highness, you asked the minister to reclaim 500 acres of land within a month, and now the ploughing cattle and farm tools are easy to solve, but this manpower is seriously insufficient!" ”

Zhao Zhen asked, "Sir, how many people are missing?" ”

Li Di summed it up in his heart and said, "At least three hundred people are needed!" ”

Zhao Zhen said: "Go to the Wang Bureau!" ”

Li Di was suddenly anxious: "Uncle Wang Hui's servant and his ministers cried poorly, saying that the money and grain allocated by the imperial court to the East Palace this year have been squandered, and there is no money or food to recruit people again!" ”

Zhao Zhen: "......"
