Chapter 545: Showmanship (Part II)
()
In the cognition of the two guards, they felt that no one should be impatient enough to dare to pretend to be the prince, but looking at Gao Ming's casual clothes and the appearance of two cows, they really couldn't connect him with the prince.
"Could this be the prince? It can't be an impersonation, right? ”
Thinking of this, the two of them looked at Gao Ming's eyes and became suspicious.
Looking at the suspicion in the guard's eyes, Gao Ming didn't know what he was thinking, and suddenly he couldn't cry or laugh.
"Don't look at me like this, in fact, I'm really the prince of the Tang Dynasty!"
“……”
Seeing that the other party didn't speak, just looked at himself suspiciously, Gao Ming also knew that it would definitely not work to just say it, so he had to take out his waist card and hand it to the guards.
"Oh, this is my waist card, you can take it and see it!"
Seeing Gao Ming take out all the waist cards, the faces of the two guards changed again.
The token given by Gao Ming is not an ordinary token, but a token of Admiral Tiance, which symbolizes his identity as Admiral Tiance, and the two guards in front of him are obviously from Qianniuwei, so they recognize it at once.
After recognizing Gao Ming's token, the two quickly knelt down on one knee, and then clasped their fists and saluted Gao Ming.
"It turned out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in front of him, a little dull, and I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will forgive his sins!"
Seeing the two of them looking scared, Gao Ming immediately smiled and waved.
"Okay, those who don't know are not guilty, let's get up first, there are so many people here, it's not good to cause any chaos!"
"Yes!"
Hearing Gao Ming say this, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, and after one of them got up, he returned the token to Gao Ming, and the other person also hurriedly came to help Gao Ming take the cow.
Looking at this scene, Gao Ming also knew that the two of them were planning to "make up for their mistakes", so they did not refuse them, and after taking back the token, he handed them the rope that tied the two oxen, and he went in the direction where Li Shimin was.
At this time, Li Shimin was also looking for Gao Ming's figure, but in front of everyone's eyes, in order to maintain his majesty, he couldn't look left and right, so he could only turn his head slightly and look for Gao Ming's traces as far as his eyes could see.
At this time, Li Shimin was already a little anxious, because he came out with great fanfare this time, just for show, if Gao Ming released his pigeons, then in the short term, it would be impossible for him to come out like this again.
"Gao Ming, where did he go?"
Just when Li Shimin's heart was a little anxious, Gao Ming's voice with a little smile suddenly sounded behind him.
"Hey, old man, did you miss me?"
"Huh?"
After hearing Gao Ming's voice, Li Shimin turned around and saw Gao Ming standing behind him with a smile on his face, and at the same time saw the two guards holding cattle behind Gao Ming.
Seeing this scene, he immediately raised his eyebrows at Gao Ming.
"Why are you here now? Ready to go? ”
"Hmm!"
As soon as Li Shimin's words fell, Gao Ming immediately nodded, and then grinned at Li Shimin.
"Everything is ready, it's time to get to work, hehe!"
"That's good!"
Looking at Gao Ming's confident smile, Li Shimin also nodded, and then walked down from the chariot.
After coming down, Li Shimin took off his robe, then rolled up his sleeves, and raised his chin towards Gao Ming at the same time.
"Now that you're ready, let's get started!"
"Start? Right here? ”
Hearing Li Shimin's words, Gao Ming's eyes immediately widened, and he looked at Li Shimin with an incredulous expression.
"Isn't Huangzhuang on the other side of Nanshan?"
Looking at Gao Ming's incredible look, Li Shimin nodded again, and then smiled at him.
"That's right, right here, Nanshan is too far away, and all of them have been planted with grain, and now there are only about ten acres of vacant land left near Chang'an!"
"That's all left?"
Hearing Li Shimin's words, Gao Ming immediately grinned, and a hint of a smile flashed in his eyes.
"Since we exempted half of the people's taxes, the people are very active in farming, they are all planted as soon as the season comes, for fear of late harvest, but now this is still barren, in my opinion, the land here is probably the field of the big man's family, right?"
As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, before Li Shimin could speak, a familiar voice sounded next to him.
"His Royal Highness the Prince's words can make the old minister feel ashamed, I can't hide it, this fifteen acres of land is the old minister's family, because one is negligent and wasteland, and I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will forgive his sins!"
Hearing this familiar voice, Gao Ming looked back and found that he was helpless, and he was bowing to his eldest grandson Wuji.
Seeing this scene, he immediately laughed.
"Haha, it turns out that this land belongs to my uncle's family, no wonder I saw you when I came to catch locusts with my son last year, by the way, uncle, how long have you not planted this land, do you want it?"
“……”
Looking at Gao Ming's expression that seemed to be smiling, the expression on Eldest Sun Wuji's face became even more helpless, he smiled bitterly, and then arched towards Gao Ming again.
"What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is that this land has been barren for almost a year, and the old minister is no longer able to cultivate it, so he decided to return this field to His Majesty!"
In the opinion of the eldest grandson Wuji, first of all, since Gao Ming handed over the brown sugar business to him, the eldest grandson's family will definitely not be short of money in the future, compared with the brown sugar business, the output of more than ten acres of land is really nothing.
On the other hand, the eldest grandson Wuji, as an old oilman in the court, naturally saw that Li Shimin and Gao Ming had plans to take back the sealed land, and since he understood this, he, the "first brother" of the court, naturally had to set an example.
It just so happened that Li Shimin planned to come to work in the field, so he simply took advantage of this meeting to dedicate the land, after all, according to the five constants, if Li Shimin helped him work, then how should he, a courtier, deal with himself?
It was with these considerations that the eldest grandson Wuji simply returned the land, so that there was nothing awkward.
Gao Ming didn't know how many turns the eldest grandson Wuji's heart had turned before, and now when he heard him return the land, he immediately laughed.
"Haha, that's a good feeling, in that case, let's talk nonsense for a while, let's get to work!"
Speaking of this, Gao Ming turned his head to look at Li Shimin again and smiled at him.
"Hehe, old man, let's use this ox to plow the land, one person has to lead the plough in the front, and the other one in the back to support the plow, or you go to lead the ox, how about I plough in the back?"
"Good! So be it! ”
Li Shimin didn't know how to plow, and he used to use a hoe to plow the ground, but this kind of thing is not just a blind hand, so when he heard that Gao Ming asked him to lead the cow in front, he agreed without thinking about it.
Seeing that Li Shimin agreed, Gao Ming took the rope of the cow with the nose ring from the guards behind him, and then handed it to Li Shimin by the way, and smiled at him.
"So let's get started!"
"Hmm!"
