Chapter 252: Silly

Zhao Tan laughed for a long time at the story of Cai Jing's grandson thinking that rice grew out of a pouch, and now that it is his turn to be a father, he also understands Cai Jing's helplessness and sourness back then. There are not many people in the world who were born with golden keys in the royal family and nobles who have their own 'adventures' that grow up in the countryside, and they may not be able to go to the countryside and fields except for walking in the flower garden and knowing those wonders.

Now Zhao Ta has not many heirs, two sons and two daughters, and has become everyone's baby, the two older children have never stepped out of the palace half a step, only see the luxury of the palace, eat exquisite food, where do you know that there are poor people in this world who are not clothed and hungry. And among them there may be an heir of the Great Song Dynasty, if the world is handed over to such a person to govern, Zhao Ta can also figure out what it will look like with his feet, so he took the children out for a walk in the name of 'returning home' to see the old mansion of Xiangyi, and see the real world outside......

Zhu Shuzhen looked at the two children covered in mud and stains on their faces, and after following the same disheveled emperor, several imperial concubines also joined in and coaxed, the big and small ones were simply unorthodox, she said that her mouth was dry, but as soon as these people left the palace, they didn't take her as the queen in their eyes, what should she do, she could only sit on the side and get angry.

In fact, Zhu Shuzhen also wanted to join in, but she couldn't wipe her face. Because although she was not born in a famous family, she also grew up in the family of the official eunuch, and she was constrained by etiquette since she was a child, and she was particular about her every move, and this kind of unseemly thing has never been done. And after becoming the queen, as the mother of a country, she does everything as a show, even if she wants to do it. But years of inertia will make her give up.

It was noon, and Zhu Shuzhen couldn't help but be hungry. But she suddenly found herself leaving the palace, and she couldn't solve a meal alone in this countryside. But others are different. Needless to say, the emperor is the commander-in-chief of the picnic at the moment, and he knows what to eat and how to eat; Zhao Xin and Zhe Meiluan both fought with the army, and sleeping in the open was a common thing, and it was not a problem to solve a meal; Yu Liyan, the former princess of Liao, and Li Xiaoxiao, the lord of Xixia, were of noble birth, but they were both born nomads, and hunting in the wild was the most common game, and eating was also a trivial matter. This made Zhu Shuzhen, who is the queen, feel ashamed and uneasy!

"Well, that's the smell!" The corn cobs on the fire are gradually cooked. Exuding bursts of aroma, Zhao Ta picked up one and took a bite and said excitedly, he made history again and became the first person in China to eat corn.

"Oh, it smells so good!"

"I'm going to ...... too"

"It's delicious!" ……

"Mother, you can taste it too!" Just as Zhu Shuzhen kept swallowing saliva, Zhao Qian walked over with a corn cob in his shirt and said.

"Qian'er is so filial, you are also hungry, eat first!" Zhu Shuzhen was sour. It's still his own son, thinking about himself, touching his head and saying.

"The father said, 'Those who are sons of men should put filial piety first. If you have something to eat, let the elders eat it first', and the father also said that there are also peanuts and sweet potatoes. Just wait a while, and the sons will send it to the queen mother later! Zhao Qian said softly.

"What my father taught. Qian'er should be kept in mind! Zhu Shuzhen said, she understood that the emperor did not indulge the children. It's about educating them with practical actions.

After Zhao Ta gave the corn to everyone to eat, he put peanuts and sweet potatoes into the fire, and then put out the fire with soil without waiting for it to be scorched, covered it tightly, and used the residual heat of the ashes to suffocate it. It didn't take long for roasted peanuts and sweet potatoes to be 'out of the pot', and everyone praised the taste, but Zhao Ta just smiled, these things are the most common foods in later generations, but at this time, no one can know their value and hard-won.

When Zhao Ta sent an ocean-going fleet to explore the Americas a few years ago, it took them nearly a year to get there, and the harsh environment, the merciless wind and waves, and the ferocious pirates and diseases caused them to lose ten ships and more than 300 people to die at sea, with no bones to return. Due to the language barrier, he was able to land and land with the local natives after a big battle, and he established contact with the natives with the new gadgets in his hands, and communicated with gestures and drawings in exchange for what the emperor was looking for.

The return journey is full of risks and hardships, in the eighth year of the rejuvenation of the country before returning to the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Ta rewarded everyone, planted the seeds they found into Genyue's Yaoliao trial seed, after success and got a large number of seeds, he sent the precious seeds to Xiangyi Huangzhuang for large-scale cultivation, in order to obtain more improved seeds and planting experience, so as to promote throughout the country, now they can eat in their mouths, it marks that they have achieved a phased success.

"Don't move, you dare to steal here!" Just as Zhao Ta and the others were enjoying a 'big meal', more than a dozen people suddenly came out of the crop field and surrounded them.

"Don't be rude, put down the musket quickly, it's your own people!" Seeing Xi and the others quickly stepped forward to block the emperor's family behind them, they shouted loudly, and they were secretly ashamed to patronize and eat in their hearts, and this time they invited the ghost.

"Nonsense, there has never been a thief in our Zhuangzi, who is your own person!" The leader scolded sharply, maybe seeing that they were a group of old and weak women and children who had no lethality, or waved his hand to let his subordinates raise the muzzle of their guns.

"A few big men, we are not stealing, we can count the money to you!" Seeing that the people who came were dressed as the clothes of the Zhuangzi villagers, they were all very raw, thinking that the emperor was arrested as a thief, and his face must not look good, so he did not explain his identity, but wanted to solve it with money.

"Hmph, how much money do you have, can you afford it? These things were all found by the emperor from a foreign land thousands of miles away to try to grow, we didn't dare to taste a single grain, but you have eaten so much, waiting for our chief manager to send it down! The leader snorted coldly and said.

"Why are you so unreasonable, you young man, it's not okay for us to return what we ate, you have to be reasonable, why bother the emperor to oppress people!" Seeing that Xi was arrested by his own people in his own home, he was already very angry, and he couldn't help but get angry.

"Although our Zhuangzi is an imperial village, we never oppress people in the name of the saint, and we have our own judgment!" The leader was very angry, but he didn't get angry, and frowned and said, "Escort them to the mansion and ask the chief to deal with them!" ”

"You dare to ......" Seeing that he was annoyed, he shouted at the people who came up, but he was also stupid, how could his body and bones stop the young and strong villagers.

"My sister is not afraid, my brother is here!" Looking at the people who came up with unkind faces, Zhao Yushan was so frightened that she was about to cry, although Zhao Qian was also very nervous, he took her hand to protect his sister and said.

"Da Lang, don't be rude, let's go with you, but we are all women and children, so don't tie them up, and I have an old relationship with you, don't hurt the peace, how about it?" Zhao Ta smiled and walked to the front and arched his hand and said.

"Well, it's okay, as long as you don't run, we won't be rude!" The young man at the head looked at them and felt that there was no danger and said.

"There are still a few miles to Zhuangzi ahead, Shan'er's father carries you, can Qian'er walk?" Zhao Ta squatted down and beckoned.

"Father, Qian'er can do it!" Zhao Qian took his sister's hand and sent it to Zhao Ta.

"Hehe, sister, we are all here for the first time, and we have to take care of you on the way!" Li Xiaoxiao took Zhao Xin's hand and laughed.

"Naughty, let's go!" Zhao Xin smiled helplessly and said that the emperor didn't want to say anything, of course she was not easy to speak, and Zhe Meiluan supported the queen with a blue face to keep up with the team.

"Shan'er, do you see that field of flowers? The perfume you use is made from those flowers! ”

"Qian'er, don't you want to see how the oxen pull the cart? That's it! ”……

After getting out of the green gauze tent, Zhao Ta carried his daughter on his back, pulled his son, walked in front without anyone to guide him, and did not have the consciousness of being a 'captive', chatting with the two children while walking, explaining the story of nowhere here. Depressed are also those villagers, these people seem to be really familiar with this place, they don't seem to be escorting prisoners, but like followers.

"These people won't hurt us, will they?" Zhu Shuzhen regretted a little that she didn't persuade the emperor not to get off the boat, wouldn't it be forgiving if something happened, she asked Zhao Xindao in a low voice.

"Sister, don't worry, you don't know the prestige of the one who is here, it can be said that everyone in the Zhuangzi is willing to die for him, how can it harm him, he doesn't say that he is playing ghosts!" Zhao Xin said with a smile.

"Really?" Zhu Shuzhen said with some disbelief, those ministers who professed their loyalty and righteousness betrayed the royal family to the Jurchens in order to save their lives after the city was broken, and can these rural villagers do it?

"Sister will know when you look at it!" Zhao Xin didn't explain either, and shhh

After the sentry card into the Zhuangzi, the green trees on both sides of the road are like shade, the heart can't help but sigh that the years are like a shuttle, in the blink of an eye thirty years have passed, the small trees planted back then have become talents, when he came here is still a dilapidated, he is just a precarious fall from grace prince, but now he has reached the peak of power, the king of the world.

"Dayong, who are these?" When I entered the village, someone stepped forward and asked.

"Dad, they stole the corn in the field, and we took it away, and they were going to be sent to the mansion to listen to the chief manager!" The young man at the head replied.

"Oh, how can these people steal in gold and silver, you... You're not ......" The man turned to look at the group of strange people, and suddenly pointed at Zhao Ta and stammered.

"Big dog, it's always been okay?"

"Second master, it's the second master who is here!" The man shouted excitedly and helplessly, turned around and gave the leader Xiang Yong a big ear scraper, "Bastard, you dare to catch anyone, this is the second master!" ”

"Huh?!" Dayong was stupid, he knew that no matter how good he was in the Zhuangzi, he would not dare to call the second master, because this title only belonged to one person...... (To be continued......)
