Liu Cheng drank some wine at night, his mind was a little dizzy, but his spirit was slightly uplifted. stopped the eunuchs from following, and strolled alone in the courtyard of the palace.

The moonlight was bright and clear, pouring down and shining on him. Staring at the shadow under his feet, there was a sense of loneliness in the form of a lonely shadow, looking up at the full moon, Liu Cheng couldn't help but feel longing for Bian. For no reason, in the summer palace, the scene of Bian's considerate care for him kept flashing in his mind.

With a chuckle, Liu Cheng shook his head, dispelled a little "weakness" in his heart, and broke into a small courtyard aimlessly.

In the porch, leaning against a dark brown column, he turned his head and saw a petite figure catch his attention.

I saw that in the courtyard, on the side of the stone table, there was a **-year-old girl, dressed lightly, wrapped in a small robe, and was bored and stayed there. You can only see its side face, so delicate and lovely, white and flawless, with a small mouth slightly pursed.

The little hand supported his head, and he looked up at the moon for a while, but his eyes glanced out from time to time, and he seemed to be very interested in the excitement outside the palace. Although she couldn't see anything with her eyes, the layers of beams and pillars of the palace blocked her view from looking out.

Under the moonlight, in the courtyard, with a beautiful little girl sitting quietly, there is a handsome young man in the side corner quietly watching her, the picture is quiet and beautiful. Liu Cheng's somewhat chaotic eyes were much clearer, and he leaned his head on the pillar, quietly admiring this wonderful picture, and couldn't bear to disturb it.

Maybe it was intentional, and with a "bang", Liu Cheng's feet slipped and he fell. The movement on the side suddenly attracted the attention of the little girl, and she turned around and stood up in shock, and when she saw Liu Cheng who was embarrassed, she sneered and smiled.

Liu Cheng, who was holding the ground with his right hand, saw it, his heart couldn't help but tremble, and he quickly stood up. The little girl covered her mouth and ran up, looked up at the boy who was much taller than herself, and asked curiously, "Who are you and how did you come to this small courtyard!" ”

was placed in the mansion by Liu Yuan, usually except for the maids, slaves and guards, there is almost no chance of contact with the outside world, but now a different person suddenly came, and the little girl was full of freshness.

Facing the eyes that were as clear as water, Liu Cheng took a breath and replied with a smile: "My name is ...... I'm a little guy in the palace, and I strayed into this place! ”

The little girl frowned slightly when she heard this, and circled around Liu Cheng, seeing that she was dressed in a gorgeous dress, revealing an expression of disbelief: "You are not honest when you speak, how can you wear such gorgeous clothes!" ”

A different feeling surged in Liu Cheng's heart, and his eyes blinked twice: "This is a reward from the third prince Liu Cheng to the villain!" ”

Before the little girl could speak, a gentle voice came from behind her: "Luo'er, come back quickly, Grandma has called you to eat!" ”

Hearing this, regardless of Liu Cheng, he turned around and trotted towards Zhen Jiang: "Sister, I'm here!" ”

"Luo'er, who is that?" Zhen Jiang glanced at Liu Cheng and asked in a low voice.

"It's a royal servant!" Zhen Luo's crisp voice came.

Glancing at Liu Cheng who was still standing there, Zhen Jiang led Zhen Luo into the corridor and turned to leave.

Until he couldn't see the backs of the two, Liu Yuanfang turned around and left, muttering: "Luo'er......"

Next, the third prince, who often reads in the study, goes out more often and wanders around the palace. From time to time, he "unintentionally" walked into the small courtyard, just to secretly take a look at the beautiful little girl who tugged at his heartstrings - Zhen Luo.

Others didn't feel anything about Liu Cheng's changes, and Liu Cheng also consciously behaved normally. But I can't help people who have a heart, for example, Liu Jue, who began to secretly pay attention to him.

In Liu Jue's study, after listening to the report of his cronies and eunuchs, Liu Jue showed a smile in his eyes: "It seems that my third brother has also moved his heart, and he is still the little girl named Zhen Luo!" ”

For the Zhen family's mother-daughter courtyard, Liu Jue also heard clearly, and also knew the identities of the mother and daughter. Ordering the eunuch to retreat, Liu Jue picked up a book, his eyes were on it, but his thoughts drifted far away.

I thought in my heart: "Brother Cheng, don't you know what your father means by taking his mother and daughter into the house?" Even if it is that Zhen Luo, when she grows up, she should be a concubine who serves her father. You dare to do this, haha...... For my brother, I support you silently! ”

Liu Yuanjun was busy with political affairs, who could have expected that the "Luoshen" that had been booked by him would make his third son Liu Cheng tempted.

……

It has been four years since entering the first peace, the spring has returned to the earth, the cold has gradually subsided, dozens of miles south of Jinyang City, Liu Yuan is taking his three sons and his subordinates, and personally standing next to the land in the Jinshui Basin.

The spring ploughing season came, and the people under the rule of the state all observed the solar terms and began to plough the soil. Cultivation is the foundation of people's livelihood, in order to show his attention, Liu Yuan came with such fanfare, just to make a show, to show that King Xia attaches great importance to farming.

In front of the fields, the nearby ditches are vertical and horizontal, and this is obviously a fertile land that has been developed and matured. Weeds have sprung up, revealing pale green sprouts.

There are already many farmhouses working in the fields, plowing the fields, a busy scene, full of vitality. On the grassland, there is no shortage of cattle and sheep, since last year, Liu Yuan transferred tens of thousands of cattle from the north to the south, and distributed them to the county government to support the people to farm, which can be regarded as the welfare of Hu Xia's rule.

It is impossible to achieve one cow per household, basically some cattle are allocated to each township, and the whole township takes turns to share them. Of course, it is impossible for the cattle to be given to the people in vain, and the right of ownership naturally belongs to the government, and from this year onwards, the peasants will have to pay more grain to compensate for the use of the cattle. At the same time, the same goes for tillage tools.

"Come, change your clothes for Lone, and Lone will personally go down to the ground to help the plow!" Liu Yuan directly removed his robe, changed into sackcloth, took off his boots, rolled up his trouser legs, and went to the ground.

It is not difficult to plow the land, but when Liu Yuan personally tried it, he knew how difficult it was. Inexperienced, unstable grasp of strength, under the pull of the ploughing ox, the plough blade sometimes tilted and biased. Liu Yuan ran a ridge of land, which was quite laborious, but it was consumed with it. Stumbling and stumbling, brushing back and forth.

Seeing King Xia working so hard, how dare the rest of the courtiers stand next to watch the play, they are decisive and follow suit, whether they will or not, they all change their clothes and go to the ground. The strong man holds the plow, the weak man digs with a hoe, and the small hoe to remove weeds.

In short, a group of upper-class people, driven by Liu Yuan, stayed in the field for a day regardless of whether they were reluctant or not. I didn't even leave the ground to eat at noon.

After a while, Liu Yuan sat directly on the ridge of the field to rest for a while, looking for a few old farmers to inquire about farming, and his eyes seemed to glance at the three sons who were waving hoes and pounding the soil.

After sunset, he returned to the palace with a body of mud, and at the end of the day, even if he was a show, he used his real strength. With a sore back, under Cai Yan's service, Liu Yuan wiped his face and sighed: "This matter of acres of land is not much easier than going into battle to kill the enemy!" ”

"The king is the king of Xia, and he has experienced the labor of farming, and he is really a Ming king!" Cai Yan agrees with and admires Liu Yuan's approach. Even if it is for show, how many kings throughout the ages have been willing to touch the ground barefoot?

Within a few days, the news that King Xia personally went to work in the fields spread throughout Han County, Xia Kingdom. At the same time, among the people, some people began to continue to praise King Xia as "a generation of Ming Jun". In the propaganda policy of the Xiongnu back then, Liu Yuan began to use the captured Han realm again, and he tried this trick repeatedly.
