Chapter 33 The boy's spring shirt is thin

Cuckoo Feifei advises early ploughing, and spring hoeing pounces on the early sunshine. The mille-feuille stone tree passes the road, and the sound of water in the paddy fields all the way.

As early as the first month, Emperor Jing has taken the queen Wang Wan and the crown prince Liu Che to carry out "personal ploughing", which is an ancient ceremony, and the Son of Heaven personally goes to the fields to plough in the first month of each year, indicating heavy farming.

And Liu Che presided over the ceremony of burning the wasteland and lit the first fire of the burning wasteland. In ancient times, agriculture was mostly practiced by slash-and-burn farming, and the agricultural work of the year began with the burning of the wasteland, and the people were nervous about the labor, excited by the longing, and regarded the burning of the wasteland as the prelude to a good harvest, and held a cheerful and solemn ceremony. And this ritual, which continued into the Han Dynasty, became a symbol of ploughing.

Looking at the wooden ox plow in front of him, Liu Che was very helpless, originally he wanted to take out the Quyuan plough created in the Tang Dynasty, but finally gave up this idea.

The plough of the Han Dynasty was a straight and long plough, and the turning was not flexible enough when ploughing the land, and the soil was laborious and inefficient. It's not that Liu Che doesn't want to promote the Quyuan plow, it's just that the Quyuan plough must use iron plough and plough wall, how can there be so much fine iron now? Therefore, the progress of society is a systematic project, which cannot be promoted by the traverser in a day, but fortunately, Liu Che still has enough time to complete his plan.

After some time, the farmers of Dahan finally looked forward to the "sting", the weather warmed up, the spring thunder began to roar, waking up the insects that hibernated in the ground, and most areas of Guanzhong entered the spring ploughing season.

"Stinging" was also called "Enlightenment" in history. "Xia Xiaozheng" said: "The first month of the new year". When the emperor of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty was "Qi", and in order to avoid it, "Qi" was changed to the word "surprise" with a similar meaning. At the same time, the order of the sting of the first month of Meng Chun and the "rain" of the February Festival of Mid-Spring was also replaced. Similarly, the order of "Gu Yu" and "Qingming" has also been replaced.

At the foot of Nanshan Mountain, Geng Laohan carried a hat and straw sandals, drove a sturdy ploughing ox with shiny hair, and carried a heavy wooden ox plough on his back (the old man cherished the ploughing ox), humming a small song and walking towards the field.

Originally, when he first arrived at the orphanage, the chief steward gave Geng Laohan a leisurely errand to guard the warehouse. The monthly rate of the orphanage is very high, which is enough for Geng Laohan to marry a daughter-in-law comfortably and live a relaxed life. However, Geng Laohan was an idle man, and when he saw that the orphanage had an official field at his feet, he volunteered to buy a few acres of thin fields.

The chief steward is also refreshing, and these officials are also to let the older orphans work properly, so as not to know how to work when they become adults, and in case they don't learn other skills, they can't find a way to live. Today, most of the orphans are too young to farm, and instead of abandoning the official land, it is better to rent it to other farmers. As for Geng Laohan, he was originally a person from the orphanage, so he naturally had to take care of some, so he gave him the title of "Guantian Supervisor", and took it every month, but he had to manage a large area of Guantian, so as not to abandon it.

Geng Laohan had already ploughed several acres of land a few days ago, and he was also a crop veteran, and he had been doing farm work for more than ten years before joining the army. It's just that the plough used to be pulled by people, but suddenly there was an ox, and it took him most of the day to learn to control the movement of the oxen. Not to mention, it is relatively fast to use ploughing cattle, Geng Laohan suddenly felt that he could manage hundreds of acres of land.

Walking and walking, Geng Laohan felt that the wooden ox plow on his back had become a lot lighter, and when he looked back, Zhao Li, who was already ten years old, was holding his feet, and while holding the wooden ox plow, he followed him step by step.

Geng Laohan was angry and funny, and scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, why don't you go to study, what are you doing with the old man?" ”

"Mr. said that today is a holiday, only some homework is left, I finished answering early last night, come to help Daddy plow the land, out of the way." Zhao Lixuan said that since he arrived at the orphanage, he has come into contact with more children of the same age, and he has gradually become more cheerful.

Old Man Geng touched his little head and asked with a smile, "Oh? What did you learn yesterday? ”

"I learned some strange characters, and my husband said that it was called algebra, and it was the knowledge of teaching people to settle accounts."

Geng Laohan scratched his head suspiciously, although he had never read a book, he had heard someone say in the army that everyone who read books learned what scriptures were called, and he had never heard of a gentleman teaching people to settle accounts. There is an advantage to being a rough person, that is, you don't think about things that you can't figure out, Geng Laohan patted Zhao Li's thin shoulder, and said, "No matter what Mr. teaches, you have to study hard!" You are blessed to be able to go to the orphanage, eat well and live well, this is all thanks to the blessing of the emperor and the prince, and you will learn your skills well in the future, but don't forget the kindness of the saint! ”

Zhao Li nodded, clenched his small fists, and said seriously: "I will never forget the kindness of the emperor and the prince, and I will learn my skills in the future, and I will beat whoever the emperor and the prince want me to beat!" ”

When Father Geng saw Zhao Li's serious appearance, he couldn't help laughing, and the laughter echoed for a long time on the field of hope at the foot of Nanshang.

At this time, in Tian Sheng's private school, a group of children were looking at the blackboard in the classroom and listening to the knowledge taught by Mr. From time to time, some children would raise their hands to ask something they didn't understand, and the gentleman would answer with a smile and seriousness. Such a relaxed teaching relationship is not seen in private learning in other places.

Outside the window, Steward Tian watched with a smile for a moment, and walked to Steward Li, who was waiting outside the door of the private academy with a proud face.

Steward Li quipped, "How's that?" We didn't cut corners in the classrooms we built, did we? Now I see that your kid is studying in this place with a few clean windows, but I have to give our construction company some more discounts. ”

"That's that, but who's in charge of this private school?" Steward Tian asked with a smile.

Steward Li shook his head and said, "I don't know very well, it is said that it is a person specially sent by the Prince Zhan Mansion, and the gentlemen are also from the Prince's Mansion, and the things that are said to be professors are still designated by the prince himself." ”

Steward Tian was overjoyed when he heard this, he stayed by Master Tian Sheng's side for the longest time, and naturally knew some secret things. Today's prince, but it is amazing, at a young age, fiddling with such a big foundation is like a simple effort, and there is no last resort. Now that his own kid can get the knowledge passed down by the prince, even if he learns it, I'm afraid he can use it for a lifetime.

"Haha, let's go! Go to my place for tea! Steward Tian patted Steward Li on the back and laughed.

Steward Li pouted: "Just your stinginess, you still invite me to tea, I'm afraid there is something wrong, right?" ”

Steward Tian didn't think it was upset, and said with a smile: "Didn't the chalk used by Mr. your construction company use stone powder?" I see that the gentleman just now was very stingy, and he was reluctant to use it more when explaining. You get him a few more boxes, and I'll pay for it! ”

"Done! When the batch from the orphanage is sent to them, I will send a few more boxes to this private school, so that they can use it vigorously. ”

Steward Li said happily, just this little thing, it can be mixed with a pot of good tea, which is not bad. Nowadays, the senior cadres of Tian's Commercial Group can get some tea every month for hospitality and personal use. But if you want to talk about really good tea, only Steward Tian can occasionally get a little reward from the master, which is the imperial product that the emperor and the queen mother are drinking, and it is said that it was concocted by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself. Even if you drink a little bit, you can get a lot of dragon energy.

Unlike Steward Li, who wanted to get the dragon qi, Gongsun He and Li Danghu were now full of dragon qi, and they never wanted to use this way to get the dragon qi in this way in their lives.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, you can spare us, you see that my arm is blue!" Gongsun He lay on the ground and pretended to be dead, but he refused to get up.

Liu Che looked at him disdainfully, shook his head and said, "You have also practiced for a long time, why are you still so useless?" ”

"Your Highness, how can we compare with you? His Royal Highness's punch and kick are full of real dragon energy, and our two small bodies will either die or be injured if they are beaten. Gongsun He hurriedly offered his sycophants.

Li Danghu next to him frowned, feeling that this was a little disgusting, but he felt a pain all over his body, and nodded in agreement, expressing his full agreement.

Liu Che looked at the two of them speechlessly, reached out and took the silk towel handed over by Li Fu, the personal attendant, wiped his hands, and sighed to the sky: "The high place is not cold, and the invincible is the loneliest!" ”

When Gongsun He and Li Danghu heard this, a stream of sour water gushed out of their stomachs, and they almost wanted to vomit out. Even Li Fu, who was beside Liu Che, was flushed, and he was very ashamed of his master. Although Liu Che has been practicing martial arts since he was three years old, he is only eight years old now, and with his current skills, Lang Zhongling (the head of the emperor's chief bodyguard) can send one of his close attendants to beat him to the ground. It's just that because of his identity, in the entire palace, the courtiers who dare to really have no scruples to fight him are only Gongsun He and Li Danghu, two henchmen, plus stunned. Of course, they also knew that even if they tried their best, they would not be able to hurt the prince, let alone keep their hands. In case Liu Che finds out that they are left behind, there is only one result, that is, they will be beaten even worse, and it will be unbearable.

"Zhang Qian, write it down! In the spring of the first year of the Middle Yuan Dynasty, the crown prince Liu Che punched Gongsun He again, stepped on Li Danghu, looked up to the sky and roared, invincible is the most lonely! Liu Che saw Zhang Qian coming from afar and shouted loudly.

"No!"

Zhang Qian walked closer, ignoring the selective gaze in the eyes of Gongsun He and Li Danghu, and said in a loud voice. He didn't dare to provoke Liu Che, the "tyrant", otherwise he would definitely end up worse than the two on the ground.

It's just that no one present would have thought that many years later, it would be recorded in the history books like this:

In the spring of the first year of Jingzhong, the emperor was still young, and the handsome and the generals joined forces to deceive him, the emperor was mighty, and he was defeated, and the handsome worshipped and shouted, and the emperor was invincible in the world!
