Imperial City, Kunning Palace.

Liu E said worriedly: "Official, Li Xianggong went to Pingshan yesterday, and there is no news so far, and the concubine is worried about ......."

Zhao Heng lay on Liu E's lap and said with a smile: "The queen can rest assured, Li Di is Zhen'er's husband, Zhen'er has been afraid of him since he was a child, as long as he goes out, Zhen'er will definitely come back obediently, no matter how bad it is, with Li Di's violent temper, I am afraid that Zhen'er will be tied back!" ”

Zhao Heng is full of confidence in Li Di.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Huaizheng trotted in and reported: "Official, Li Xianggong has news. ”

"So, Zhen'er has come back, let's go, go to the East Palace......" Zhao Heng got up excitedly and was about to go out.

Zhou Huaizheng hurriedly said: "Official, His Royal Highness has not come back yet." ”

"What? Li Di actually said that Zhen'er couldn't move? ”

"Lee Sang-gong hasn't come back either! Li Xianggong said that he wanted to stay in Pingshan to farm for His Royal Highness, and asked the official family not to worry about it. ”

Zhao Hengda was surprised: "What does Li Di want to do?" ”

Then came the rage: "How can this be reasonable, the dignified Zaifu, the prince's young master, don't persuade the prince, and follow the prince to mess around, I want to stop him......"

Zhou Huaizheng added: "Li Xianggong said, whether the official family is dismissed or the knight is cut, he will not come back." ”

Zhao Heng said anxiously: "Quick, go to Kou Mansion quickly, and ask Kou Zhun to go out." ”

……

Ping shan.

On a mound, set up a tent.

Under the tent, Zhao Zhen reclined on a chair and crossed Erlang's legs.

Chen Lin half-squatted aside, puffing and snorting for Zhao Zhen.

Li Di, who was wearing a straw hat and rolled up his trouser legs, looked at Zhao Zhen's indecent posture, and wanted to persuade him, but after thinking about it, he turned his head around.

The prince's temperament has changed greatly now, so it's better not to provoke him.

He picked up the teapot and took a sip of the cow.

"Slip ......"

This is Zhao Zhen's new invention of tea, only soaked in boiling water, without salt, goat's milk and other condiments, the taste is fragrant and simple, Li Di only drank it once, and he can never leave it again.

The weather at the end of June was hot and boring.

Li Di is not hot, and sticks out his tongue like a dog to dissipate heat.

I only heard Zhao Zhen ask: "Chen Banban, go and bring the wooden barrel." ”

Chen Lin hurriedly came over with a wooden barrel.

The lid of the barrel is covered with a thin layer of white frost.

Zhao Zhen got up, opened the lid, and took out a piece of bamboo tube.

When the bamboo tube was split, it turned out to be oval cylindrical popsicles.

It's cold!

This is a popsicle made by Zhao Zhen using saltpeter, with added sugar.

On the side, Li Di got up suddenly, stared at the popsicle with bright eyes, and swallowed his saliva: "Your Highness, I want to ......"

In the deep palace, a batch of ice will be stored every year, in addition to the emperor's enjoyment, the emperor's relatives and important ministers of the court can also share some, but this year Zhao Heng was fooled by the dragon and tiger real people, and the ice in the ice cellar has long been squandered, and at this time, Li Di and others can no longer enjoy it.

Without waiting for Zhao Zhen to agree, he grabbed one and put it in his mouth.

"Hmm......"

"Good!"

"Great!"

Li Di said inarticulately.

Zhao Zhen kindly reminded: "Sir, although the popsicle is good, you should enjoy it slowly, eat too quickly, beware of eating bad ......"

Li Di said unhappily: "You care about me......"

The old man is quite stubborn!

Zhao Zhen smiled helplessly, and then ordered: "Chen Banban, distribute all the remaining popsicles to the workers who farm!" ”

Li Di was anxious, "Your Highness, this ice is hard-won and very precious, how can it be distributed casually?" ”

Zhao Zhen smiled and asked, "Sir, do you think that this popsicle was brought from the palace by the palace?" ”

"Besides the palace, where else is there an ice cellar?"

Zhao Zhen said lightly: "The popsicle is freshly made in this palace, how many you want!" ”

Chen Lin hurriedly said: "Li Xianggong, the little one can testify, His Highness knows how to do immortal arts, put water in the wooden barrel, and put a few more things, and in a moment's effort, the water will turn into ice." ”

Li Di's eyes widened, "Didn't you say that on Pingshan, you can use as much ice as you want in the future?" ”

Zhao Zhen nodded.

Li Di laughed, "Your Highness, the minister still wants!" ”

Zhao Zhen: "......"

On the other side, after the farmers got the popsicles, they were even more grateful to Zhao Zhen.

……

It's past noon.

On Pingshan, a sedan chair came.

The curtain was lifted, and a thin old man with piercing eyes appeared.

It was the crown prince and Fu Kou Zhun.

He looked up and saw in the distance, dozens of ploughing cattle were rapidly turning over the ground, and smoke and dust were billowing out.

Dozens of farmers brandished hoes and roared strange trumpet sounds, "We farmers have power, hey! We farmers have power, hey! Busy farming every day......"

Strangely shaped carriages continued up and down the mountain.

The scene in front of him made Kou Zhun stunned.

He wondered: "The prince farming seems to be different from others, but what can be grown in such a barren land...... Li Retro is so old that he is also messing around, which is really unreasonable! ”

The palanquin continued onwards to the tent.

Kou Zhun sat in the sedan chair and said loudly: "Minister Kou Zhun, I am in poor health and cannot get off the sedan chair to pay respects, I hope His Royal Highness will forgive me." ”

Zhao Zhen hurriedly rushed out, and was shocked when he saw Kou Zhun looking weak and a wooden board tied to his waist: "Mr. is injured?" ”

Kou Zhun is the crown prince and the prince, and he can be regarded as Zhao Zhen's husband.

Kou Zhun smacked his lips, indicating that he didn't want to speak.

If it weren't for the news that Zhao Zhen ran to Pingshan to farm, he wouldn't have been injured.

Zhao Zhen asked, "Mr. is here to persuade the palace to return to the East Palace?" ”

Kou Zhun said loudly: "The prince is the prince, to say a big disrespectful word, now the official family believes in Fangjiao, and is bewitched by Ding Wei, Wang Qingruo, etc., ignoring the government, His Royal Highness should take on the responsibility of supervising the country and save the Great Song Dynasty from fire and water, instead of farming ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Di.

Li Di said with a smile: "Kou Xianggong's words are wrong! ”

Kou Zhun saw Li Di and was angry, "Li Retro, the old man thought that you could be a human being, but I never thought that you were so useless, and you actually followed His Highness to mess around......"

Li Di was not angry when he was scolded, and said with a smile: "Kou Xianggong, you might as well listen to me introduce you to corn, this corn is different from wheat and rice......

As he spoke, he explained in detail the benefits of corn planting for Kou Zhun, and added: "Your Highness is not fooling around when he goes out of the city to farm, on the contrary, it is a move to care for the people and benefit all people." ”

Kou Zhun listened, and fell into deep thought.

After a while, Kou Zhun suddenly raised his head, stared at Zhao Zhen with burning eyes, and said: "Your Highness, the minister has also been a local official for many years, and he is very familiar with the matter of persuading farmers and mulberries...... The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and there was no more suitable for farming than the ministers. ”

"What do you mean, sir?" Zhao Zhen asked curiously.

Kou Zhun said resolutely: "The minister also wants to stay in Pingshan and farm for His Highness!" ”

What?

Zhao Zhen was stupid.

Doesn't it mean that everything is inferior only to reading?

Why did the two great Zaifu of the Great Song Dynasty rush to farm?

Zhao Zhen was a little confused.

Could it be that the way of the world has changed?

Becoming a farmer has become noble?
