Therefore, Erchen felt that reading the book of the saint could understand the etiquette, but it might not necessarily govern the country. Being able to govern a country does not necessarily mean that a rich country can be a strong country. There are some things that make the sons think that they can make the country rich. ”

"Since ancient times, the highest taxi in the queue has played a role in calling out to other people, telling people this and that, this should be done, and that should not be done. But the peasants planted crops to feed them, the craftsmen made houses so that they could shelter from the wind and rain, and the white and flawless jade was played with in their hands, but the craftsmen made it. ”

"The businessman values profit over parting, which is a good saying. Businessmen are mercenary, businessmen are black-hearted. But businessmen are useless, are they? Why do these dignitaries live in Beijing but can eat Lingnan lychees and use Quanzhou porcelain, this is the role of merchants. Strictly speaking, the three types of people should be fed and warmed by the three types of people, such as agriculture and industry, so that they can feel the care of the imperial court, but this does not seem to be the case now. ”

"Of course, many things are not as simple as Erchen said. But what the Ming Dynasty's reform wanted was to let the scholars serve the farmers and industrialists well, and the farmers and industrialists would use their output to give back to the imperial court, so that the imperial court could be strong and strong. Let them have confidence wherever they go, and the Ming court will always protect them, so that they can be fed and clothed, and they can straighten their waists, instead of the people are afraid of officials! Or the collusion between officials and businessmen, so the sons and daughters thought about starting with the post station first. ”

"Because the post station should be a link with a relatively small conflict of interest with these officials, but it can connect all sides. This is the starting point of Erchen. The father and emperor love his sons very much, and the sons do not expect to have great achievements, but hope that their father can go down in history like the Qin Emperor and Han Wu. Zhu Houzhao said.

"Good! Good! Good! "Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youzhu didn't realize that his eyes were moist, this is his son, this is the hope of the Ming Dynasty, and this is the courage that the backbone of the Ming Dynasty should have.

"My Zhao'er has really grown up, this imperial examination is just a way to control the scholars, you can see clearly that I am very happy to be so early." Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youzhu stretched out his hand and made a movement, and he gently touched Zhu Houzhao's face. When Zhu Houzhao was a child, Emperor Hongzhi Zhu Youzhu liked to touch his little head and touch his little face!

"Okay, I just bought some meat the other day. Why don't you eat barbecue at noon today! Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youzhu suddenly had an idea, "Why don't you go and plant corn today, and then barbecue and have a picnic!" What does the emperor think? ”

"It's rare that my father is interested, so I'll accompany my father there!" Zhu Hou responded.

"Okay, let's go and call your mother! The Empress Dowager doesn't have to be called, she is old, so it's better to move around less! Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youzhu said, "Come and get my tricycle!" ”

After a cup of tea, Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youzhu and Prince Zhu Houzhao got on a tricycle, and then the coachman walked in the direction of Kunning Palace.

"Niangniang, Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have come down." A little palace maid had already gone to report.

Empress Zhang was already ready and ready to take over.

"Queen, change into a dress that is easy to move around. Let's go with me and Zhao'er to plant new crops! I also asked people to prepare vegetables and meat, let's barbecue and eat it then! Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youzhu held Empress Zhang's hand with affection.

"Then Your Majesty, wait a minute, the concubine will go and change her clothes." As she spoke, Empress Zhang walked to the inner hall, ready to change into a suitable dress.

When everyone set out, the royal fields naturally existed.

Of course, before planting corn, it is necessary to plough the land first, make furrows and ridges, and of course it is necessary to loosen the soil. Quyuan plough and old oxen are indispensable.

"Father, hold on to this plough. The retainers drove the old ox and let it pull the plow! Queen Mother, you put the three corn kernels in your porcelain pot into the ploughed field one at a time, and then you sprinkle grass ash on the back, do you know? You know how to water it, and then cover it at the end! Zhu Houzhao commanded.

"Alright, Father, I'm going to start. It's good that the father wants to hold the Quyuan plow! Is Father ready? Zhu Hou took care of the Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youjiao, who was holding the Quyuan plow.

"I'm ready!" Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youzhu responded.

"Is the queen ready then?" Zhu Houzhao said.

"Hongu is also ready!" Empress Zhang responded.

"Is the artist ready?" Zhu Houzhao said.

"Ready!" Yang Qingling responded.

"Now it begins! Old scalper, go! Zhu Houzhao gently slapped the back half of the old scalper with a small whip, allowing the old scalper to move forward slowly.

The ridges of the field were ploughed open, and the Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youzhu held the Quyuan plow forward. Empress Zhang stuffed three corn kernels into it, and then the people in the back sprinkled grass and wood ashes, and the people in the back were responsible for watering the small soil nest stuffed in!

Our recorder, the great painter and future crown princess Yang Qingling, recorded this beautiful moment on the side.

"Father, are you tired? Why don't you take a break? Zhu Houzhao said.

"I'm not tired, keep going!" Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youzhu responded.

"Father, you are not tired, so isn't the queen mother tired?" Zhu Houzhao reminded.

"The queen is not tired, why don't we rest for a while?" Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youzhu looked at the empress.

"The concubines are not tired, and when the concubines are tired, they will help the concubines sow seeds!" Empress Zhang handed the work in her hand to the little eunuch, and then walked to the side of Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youzhi and took out a brocade to wipe the sweat of Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youzhang, this scene was seen by Zhu Houzhao who turned back.

"Queen Mother, Erchen is also sweating!" Zhu Houzhao said.

"Wipe it yourself!" Empress Zhang said.

"......," Zhu Houzhao said to the old scalper, "Let's continue to move forward." ”

"Turn back, my father wants to hold on! We're going to turn back, and my father lifted up the plow, and when he got back, he put the plow into the ground. Zhu Houzhao advised.

"Alright, let's rest!" After two hours of hard work, this acre of land was finally completed.

"Let's take a break", Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youzhu and the empress got into the car.

Zhu Houzhao fiddled with the barbecue grill, and he prepared charcoal, meat, vegetables and sauce. Everything is ready, the drinks are well stocked, and the fruit is indispensable.

So start grilling the skewers!

Zhu Houzhao began to light the charcoal, after he cleaned up the barbecue.

Zhu Houzhao instructed people to put all the meat on bamboo skewers and prepare to barbecue. The temperature of the charcoal was just right, and the Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youzhu and Empress Zhang on the side also went over to see Zhu Houzhao barbecue after getting off the car.

"Why doesn't the queen mother know that you can barbecue?" Empress Zhang said.

"The Queen Mother doesn't know much! The queen mother, you stay away, and when the roast is done, the retainer will go to the queen mother! Zhu Houzhao said.

Yang Qingling painted this scene.

"Queen, let's go and see what this kid has drawn!" Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youzhu reminded.
