Chapter 227

Li Chengqian heard the sound of talking and knocking outside, so he introduced to Qin Huaidao that it was the princess, that is, the crown princess, and as soon as the words fell, the door was pushed open.

And Qin Huaidao stood up at this moment, and said to the crown princess who had just come in: "I've seen the crown princess." ”

"Well, Hu Guogong is exempt from courtesy, I have always heard His Highness say that Hu Guogong is a great talent, and he has also helped His Highness a lot, and if His Highness has anything to decide, he will go to you.

And Hu Guogong has never disappointed His Royal Highness, so when the palace learned that you had come to the mansion, he came to thank you. The crown princess Su also said to Qin Huaidao.

"I don't dare to praise Your Highness like this." Qin Huaidao hurriedly waved his hand and said.

"Come, sit down, Pepin, you can be it." Li Chengqian said happily.

"Hu Guogong, please!" The crown princess smiled and made a gesture of invitation to Qin Huaidao.

Qin Huaidao sat down.

"Your Highness, how about inviting Hu Guogong to dine at the mansion in the evening?" The crown princess looked at Li Chengqian and asked with a smile.

"No, thank you, Crown Princess, don't dare to disturb!" Qin Huaidao heard it and immediately spoke.

"Well, Pepin, I won't force you to stay, it's a very sensitive time, so forget it, when the time comes, I'll have a banquet for you alone."

Li Chengqian didn't force it, he knew that it was better not to get too close now, Qin Huaidao came over today, but he came to report on his work.

And the crown princess was a little shocked when she heard the prince say "I", this "me" title, the crown princess saw him say to outsiders for the first time.

"Yes, it will inevitably cost His Highness when the time comes." Qin Huaidao smiled and nodded.

"By the way, when Peping goes back, you can pick up some snacks and some good leather wool for Peping to take back and give to his family!" Li Chengqian said to the crown princess.

"Look at what you said, how can you send leather and wool, there is a concubine in the Boping Mansion, so let's do it, it seems that it is also autumn, these days, the concubine will take a look at making a few winter clothes for Brother Ling and his sister!" The crown princess looked at Li Chengqian with disgust and said.

"Yes, yes, I didn't think it through!" Li Chengqian nodded with a smile and said.

"Men must not understand this, this is handed over to the concubine, Hu Guogong, this palace thanks you again, Your Highness During this time, because I know you, people are also a lot more cheerful, in the future, if you are free, come to the house to sit! You can also invite them to play. The crown princess stood up at this moment and said to Qin Huaidao.

"Yes, Your Highness has praised it." Qin Huaidao also stood up and said to the crown princess.

"Then the palace won't bother the two of you to discuss things, Hu Guogong will remember to bring some pastries back later, and the palace will prepare them for you first!" The crown princess said with a smile at Qin Huaidao.

"The crown princess has a heart, thank you princess!" Qin Huaidao smiled and thanked the crown princess and said.

The crown princess returned the salute and left with a smile.

"Your Highness is blessed!" Qin Huaidao looked at Li Chengqian with a smile and said.

"Oh?" Li Chengqian looked at Qin Huaidao with interest.

"The crown princess is knowledgeable, and she is even more skillful and eager to receive people and things, this is a virtuous helper for Your Highness." Qin Huaidao smiled and said to Li Chengqian.

"Well, that's right, I really didn't worry much about the affairs of the house, and left it all to the crown princess." Li Chengqian nodded with satisfaction.

Although he also has a lot of concubines, the kind of trust he has for the crown princess is incomparable to other concubines.

Then Qin Huaidao and Li Chengqian chatted in the study for a while, and Qin Huaidao went back.

After returning to the mansion, Qin Huaidao called Qin Jiao, Qin Shandao, and Wu Mei to let them eat the pastries they brought back from the East Palace.

These pastries should be eaten in the next few days, and after a long time, they will not taste good.

Early the next morning, Qin Huaidao rode out of Chang'an City.

Qin Huaidao wanted to leave Chang'an City, so naturally no one stopped him.

When I arrived at Zhongqinzhuang, the men of the three Zhuangzi had basically arrived, and the incense cases were all placed, just waiting for Qin Huaidao to come over to worship.

"I've seen the young master!" When those dealers saw Qin Huaidao coming, they immediately saluted Qin Huaidao happily and said.

"Well, okay, it's all exempt, everyone is going to be busy again during this time, there is a lot of land in the Qin Mansion, enough for you to cultivate, but you have to hurry up!" Qin Huaidao smiled and said to those villagers.

"Don't worry, young master, you must hurry up and finish planting, otherwise, you will be blind in a year." A farmer replied to Qin Huaidao's words with a smile.

"Okay, has the auspicious time arrived?" Qin Huaidao looked back at a person in charge beside him.

"Back to the young master, it will take about a quarter of an hour! Everything has been prepared, the food has been pulled over, and the meat and vegetables from this time have all been purchased, and I will go to buy fresh meat every day! The steward reported to Qin Huaidao.

"Well, eat better, there is no shortage of food in the house, now it is not as good as the previous two years, the house had no money in the first two years, and it treated everyone badly!" Qin Huaidao said to the steward.

"Young master, don't you dare to say that, we have always been proud to be in Qinzhuang, and other villages can't be envied!" A middle-aged man said solemnly.

"Yes, young master, how many people envy our Zhuangzi, and some people ask, do we still need food in Qinzhuang? How is it possible to give them? Another middle-aged man also said to Qin Huaidao.

At this time, Qin Huaidao saw an old man walking over with a cane in the distance.

Qin Huaidao hurriedly greeted him.

This person is an old man in the Qin Mansion, who saved his father's life back then, and his two sons followed their father to die on the battlefield, leaving only three grandsons.

But now that they are all married, the cost of marrying is all from the house, but unfortunately his three grandsons don't know one of the big characters, so they can't be recommended.

Now there is a grandson, who is Qin Huaidao's family soldier, and the other two are farming on Zhuangzi's side.

"Fifth Master Qin, why did you come out too?" Qin Huaidao went over and helped the old man.

"Oh, my little young master, I heard that you were coming, so I want to come over to take a look, I am old, my eyes can't see clearly, and I don't know how many years I can live, so I think about you, little master!" Qin Wuye saw Qin Huaidao supporting him, and immediately wiped his tears and said.

"You can't talk nonsense! Qin Wuye, you have to take care of your body, wait a few years, I will take the little young master to show you and let you tease him! Qin Huaidao smiled and hugged him and said.

"Good, good, old man waits, waits!" Qin Wuye was very happy, and the people on Zhuangzi's side all gathered around.

In Zhuangzi, no one dared to look down on Qin Wuye, they all knew that he had saved Qin Qiong and was injured, and his two sons all died in battle in order to protect Qin Qiong.

When Qin Qiong was alive, he often returned to Zhuangzi to see Qin Wuye.

His three grandsons were all raised by Qin Qiong with money, and the same is true for marriage, and now the great-grandson is eight years old and studying in Zhuangzi.

"Fifth Master, I'm happy to see the young master, right?" A middle-aged man looked at Qin Wuye and asked.

"Happy, happy, you have a good life, but you have to cherish it, it's not easy for the little master, you have got so much land, it's not for you to enjoy it, these are all high-quality good fields, plant them for you, collect such a little rent, but you have to be careful!" Qin Wuye said happily to the villagers.

"Fifth Master, look at what you said, our children of Qin Zhuang, who dares to be lazy? Killed, who has no money left in every household now? How did it come about? Didn't the young master get it?

The three of us Zhuangzi, and more than a dozen officials who entered the court, were also recommended by the young master, and dared to do things without conscience and drive them out of Qinzhuang. A middle-aged man immediately spoke.

The other bankers also nodded, and Qin Huaidao smiled and chatted with them.

Soon, the time for the sacrifice came, and Qin Huaidao worshiped heaven and earth, praying for good weather and a bumper harvest in the coming year.

After the sacrifice, the farmers began to plough the land, but the efficiency of this ploughing was very slow.

Qin Huaidao looked at the way they cultivated the land, although there were cows, but it was slow, and it was necessary for women and children to dig in the fields, speeding up.

"Well, that's not going to work!" Qin Huaidao stood there and said as he watched the people below work.

"Young master, what, why can't you?" When the steward heard this, he became nervous, thinking that Qin Huaidao was dissatisfied with the villagers.

"The efficiency is too slow, if you plant like this, the 20,000 acres of land in our house, the whole village will plant, and it is estimated that it will not be planted in two months, and it will not be possible to delay the farming time." Qin Huaidao stood there and said with a frown.

"Yes, young master, don't worry, the farmers must work from morning to night, even if it is the middle of the night, they will light a bonfire for lighting, no way, 20,000 acres of land, less than 2,000 strong laborers, and there will be a group of people left in the house!" When the steward heard this, he was relieved a lot, thinking that Qin Huaidao was dissatisfied with the villagers.

"Well, go back, I'm going to get new farming tools tonight, speed up, by the way, let's go, go to other farmlands, I'm going to start plowing the land over there, right?" Qin Huaidao said to the steward.

"Yes, I'm going to plough the land over there, but I don't dare to delay the farming time." The steward nodded,

Qin Huaidao immediately got on his horse and led his soldiers to other farmlands.

The farmland on the Qinhuai Dao Mansion is divided into several pieces, among which Qinzhuang's side is not the largest, the largest is the 10,000 acres of fertile land rewarded by His Majesty this time.

In addition, there are 3,500 acres of fertile land brought by Lu Guogong, these two fertile fields are connected together, and now there are people from Qinzhuang staring over there.

Also, the people of the former Huangzhuang have now been moved to other places by the royal family.

The houses here are vacant, but they are all mud thatched houses, not sturdy, and the temporary occupants are okay.

Qin Huaidao rode a horse to inspect over there, and there were also people from Qinzhuang working here, but there were not as many people as Qinzhuang.

The people of Qinzhuang need to finish the land of Qinzhuang before they can go here to work on a large scale.

Qin Huaidao finished his inspection for a while before returning to Chang'an City, and then went straight to the study.

Qin Huaidao wanted to design a zigzag plow and a rake, and a wooden frame on the ox, Qin Huaidao also had to find it and let the carpenter do it.
