"The master of the family, you are really a god, then Wang Laohan drank three bowls of salt water, and he will be able to get out of bed this morning."

was wondering if to tie some scarecrows to scare those birds that often peck at watermelon vines, when he suddenly heard Lao Zhao's excited voice, Zhang Yuan also smiled.

It seems that Wang Laohan should be a simple cold or a fever caused by inflammation.

"Let him rest at home for two more days, and work with Xiong Da and them."

By the way, the people in the house are a little resistant to drinking raw water? ”

Forcing changes to one's habits is certainly difficult at first.

"Yesterday, they were still awkward one by one, and the villain told them that Wang Laohan was sick after drinking raw water, and they still didn't believe it. After Wang Laohan got up early this morning, they all honestly boiled water at home, and they felt that since you have the ability to heal diseases, you must be able to know how Wang Laohan is sick. ”

Zhang Yuan laughed, it was good to be able to establish such a sense of trust.

"Scarecrow, will you pierce it?"

I don't know why, Lao Zhao shook his head in horror when he heard the scarecrow.

"What's wrong?"

Lao Zhao immediately turned around and closed the door of the main building, then walked to Zhang Yuan's side and whispered.

"The head of the family, we are Shu people, we must not touch these things, outsiders are likely to think that we are doing witchcraft when they see it."

The story of asking ghosts and gods without asking the common people suddenly came into Zhang Yuan's mind from Lao Zhao's words, and he quickly extinguished his idea of wanting to tie a few scarecrows.

During Liu Che's reign, the biggest thing to do externally was naturally to wage war to the west and expand the territory, and the two internal witchcraft disasters directly led to the change in the direction of the Han Dynasty.

Zun Ru is just to consolidate his dominance, the Liu family except for Gaozu Liu Bang has a great awe of ghosts and gods, after thinking about it, Zhang Yuan felt that he still had to stay as far away from these gods and ghosts as possible.

"I know, don't mention this matter."

Lao Zhao was also secretive about this, nodded and retreated.

Liu Che remembered Zhang Yuan again, it was when summer came, the temperature in Guanzhong was higher, and the climate was drier than that of Shu County, and some watermelons began to ripen in April (the time used was the lunar calendar), Chu Da saw that the ripe watermelons were placed in front of him but the number was not much, so he immediately sent someone to report to Liu Che.

It happened that Liu Che was hunting in Dinghu Yanshou Palace, not far from the east side of Zhang's mansion, and came to Zhang's mansion with a group of people on a whim.

No one in the Zhang Mansion would know that Liu Che was coming, even Zhang Yuan.

At the moment when Liu Che boarded the gate, everyone didn't know what to do, so they had to kneel on the ground and tremble.

Zhang Yuan glanced at Chu Da with resentment, and then greeted Liu Che.

"Your Majesty, the people in the palace really don't know that you are coming, and they have no preparations, so please forgive me."

A small half of the houses in Zhang's mansion were built, but the thatched houses were still there, and the ground was also loess, Liu Che glanced at it and really couldn't raise any interest in this kind of place, and the feet that had just stepped in retreated. Die Literature Network

"I just heard Shaofu Cheng say that this watermelon is ripe, I am quite curious, Zhang Yuan, you lead the way, I want to see how this watermelon grows."

Seeing that Liu Che's mood was still good, Zhang Yuan's nervous body relaxed.

There are only about a dozen people who accompany Liu Che, and the rest of the people seem to be officials who manage Shanglin Yuan in the Shaofu, and this land belongs to the jurisdiction of their Shaofu, Liu Che wants to come to see it, they must send someone to accompany them, there are people from both sides, but no one informed Zhang Yuan, even Chu Da, the person who brought the disaster to the door, did not think about letting Zhang Yuan make preparations.

Liu Che had eaten a few watermelons, and most of the watermelons transported from Sunjia Village in Shu County were transported by the people below, and most of them were destroyed on the way, and they were almost ripe and rotten after arriving in Chang'an.

The fields are covered with green vines, and there are green watermelons on top of the vines, and those who have never seen them are amazed, and only those who have seen and tasted them will understand the taste.

"How to judge whether this watermelon is ripe or not, Liu Che squatted down and picked up a watermelon and asked Zhang Yuan."

Zhang Yuan slapped dozens of watermelons on the side, only to find the ripe ones, picked them off and handed them to Liu Che.

"Your Majesty, listen, if you make a knocking sound when you shoot it, it means that this melon is ripe."

Looking at Zhang Yuan's appearance, Liu Che slapped twice on the watermelon he was holding, I don't know if it was luck or destiny, there were few ripe watermelons in this melon field at the moment, and it just so happened that Liu Che's one made a knocking sound.

Fresh gadgets always arouse people's excitement, Liu Che stood up with the watermelon in his hand, and shouted to the people around him.

"It's a hot day, so I'm going to let you taste what is called a fruit specially made to relieve the heat."

As soon as Liu Che's words fell, there was a Huangmen waiter who was following him to summon the Jimen army to Zhang Yuan to bring a table and a kitchen knife, and the Huangmen waiter who came was not Wang Sui, but he should have also seen watermelons in the palace, and he was very skilled in cutting the watermelons in Zhang Yuan's hands and Liu Che's hands into pieces.

Liu Che waved his hand and signaled that everyone could eat directly, and even he picked up a piece of watermelon and began to eat it.

Looking at such a group of people from the emperor to Langguan, eating watermelons without even spitting out melon seeds, Zhang Yuan felt a little heartbroken, if they vomited in this field now, maybe in late autumn, Zhang Yuan would be able to harvest a batch of watermelons.

However, at this time, Liu Che looked like he was taking everyone to see the world, and Zhang Yuan definitely couldn't demonstrate the habit of eating watermelon and vomiting seeds, so he swallowed all the watermelon seeds in his stomach with everyone.

"Your Majesty is so rare, and the ministers are not blessed, Your Majesty should pick all the watermelons here and send them to the Empress Dowager of Ganquan Palace and the Empress Dowager of Weiyang Palace."

The officials in the Shaofu from top to bottom all claim to be the lackeys of the Empress Dowager Dou, and now that the Empress Dowager Dou's body is getting weaker and weaker, they began to find the way of the Empress Dowager.

But what they don't know is that Liu Che just hates this face, obviously the big man has a son of heaven, but one by one he wants to slap his grandmother and mother.

"The watermelons in the fields here are not all ripe at all, and the ones that Chu Da gave to me before, I have already sent people to Ganquan Palace and Weiyang Palace, so I don't need to be reminded by the young government supervisor.

These in the field, just wait until they are ripe, even if the two queen mothers eat this fruit every day, they can't eat so much, you say, Shaofu Eunuch? ”

Such a courtier who has no eyes and dares to speak against the emperor's will, Zhang Yuan is already the second one he has seen.

The first one is naturally Tian Wei, who is the uncle of the Son of Heaven and is resented by Liu Che because of these things, not to mention that the Shaofu Eunuch is just a dog of the Empress Dowager Dou, although he is Jiuqing, but if he wants to mention the Empress Dowager to restrain the Son of Heaven, this guy is not qualified yet.

Zhang Yuan had already expected that after the death of the Empress Dowager Dou, this product would definitely be the first batch to die.

"Since Your Majesty knows, the minister will not talk much anymore."

The Son of Heaven worries about farming, and it was a happy thing to get a new fruit for the people of the world, but it turned out to be boring to be made by this young government supervisor, and today's melon field gathering can only be unhappily dispersed.
