Chapter 251: Bringing a Bad Boy
After the autumn, the weather is getting cooler and cooler, just after the flood season, a double-decker official boat on the Bianhe River goes downstream, the boat on the river is seen, it is avoided from a distance, and it does not cause any commotion, this season is the autumn tax, the official report on the work of the time to enter Beijing, often walk on the water people have become accustomed to it. But when the ship sailed closer, it was obviously an official ship, but he felt that something was missing, and the two ships had already staggered by, so he was shocked to realize that there was no guard of honor on the ship, no flag, and no officers and soldiers accompanying him.
"Well, this Zhao Lin is really a talent, not only dredged the Bianhe River in three years, so that Jingshi would not be from the risk of flooding, but also added hundreds of thousands of hectares of fertile land!" Zhao Ta stood on the ship, facing the cool autumn breeze, looking at the two sides of the strait and praised.
"Second master, it's better for you to have the discernment, re-activate, and let him be the water supervisor, otherwise where will he have the opportunity to do this feat!" Miki said as he brought the grapes with the skin removed.
"You're going to be a sycophant, and you can get anything out of me!" Zhao Ta pinched a grape and threw it into his mouth and scolded with a smile, "The last time the Bianhe River was governed was when Emperor Shenzong was in power eighty years ago, the original fertile soil on both sides of the river bank was thousands of miles, because the Bianhe River soared during the flood every year, impacting the river embankment, making more than 20,000 hectares of official and private land become saline-alkali land, Emperor Shenzong ordered to divert Fan Shan water into the Bianhe River to wash the saline-alkali land, so that it became fertile land. But after that, it fell into disrepair, the river was silted up, the river embankment collapsed, and the function decreased year by year! ”
"How is this sycophant, if the second master lets me go, it will definitely make a mess, and he will have to kick my ass!" Seeing that he smiled and said.
"Let you go and fix it, I'm afraid it's not a kick in the ass, and it will definitely become a headless ghost!" Zhao Ta gave him a blank look. "The last time I went down to the south of the Yangtze River, I saw this scene of defeat, and the fertile fields on both sides of the strait have long been barren. There are only 10,000 acres that can be used to graze horses. After Zhao Lin was appointed as the water supervisor of the capital, it took a year to travel all over the country. It took two years to open up large lakes, build new embankments, and spend two years to divert water and silt fields to control saline-alkali land, turning the barren land on both sides of the Bianhe River into 400,000 hectares of fertile land. After that, it diverted water from Beijing and Suoer, excavated more than 2,000 miles of river channels, set up river sluices, and mediated water use, that is, it was beneficial for irrigation. It's good for water transport again! ”
"Father, you see that the corn planted there is the same as the corn in your medicine house!" Just as Zhao Ta sighed, a child ran up to the boat building out of breath and shouted, it was Zhao Ta's eldest son, Zhao Qian, who had just turned six years old.
"Oh, is it? Isn't Qian'er planted here? Zhao Ta waved his hand at the two palace maids who came up to tell them not to be nervous, and then asked seriously.
"Of course my father is not, Qian'er is still the first time to go out of Beijing, and I have never been here!" The kid said seriously.
"Could it be in a dream?" Zhao Ta said with a straight face.
"Hmm...... Not yet! The child thought hard for a long time and didn't have a clue. said timidly with a bitter face.
"Brother, my father said yes, he is the emperor, and there will be no fake!" Then a little girl came over and said.
"No is no, my father often said that even saints sometimes say the wrong thing. I didn't grow this corn, of course I can't admit it! Zhao Qian still shook his head and said.
"My father is more wise than a saint, how can he be wrong?" The little girl pouted. Still defending his father.
"Ha, Shan'er. Your brother is right, everyone is at fault. Although my father is an emperor, he is not a saint, and he will do wrong things! Zhao Ta touched her daughter's head and said with a smile, this is Zhao Yushan, the eldest princess of the dynasty.
"But the mother concubine said that the father and the emperor must do what he says, of course that is right!" Zhao Yushan looked up at his father and said seriously.
Zi said: If a person is not a sage, he can do nothing. Fathers are human beings, not gods, and of course they make mistakes! Zhao Ta thought for a while and said.
"The mother concubine said that if you do something wrong, you have to admit your mistakes, and your father will also admit your mistakes to your brother?" Zhao Yushan said.
"Hmm... Of course! Zhao Ta nodded and said, then stood up and straightened his head and saluted his son, "Just now I said the wrong thing for my father, please forgive Qian'er!" ”
"Father, how dare you ...... your son" Zhao Qian was taken aback, and said aside.
"Your Majesty, how can you teach your children like this!" At this time, Zhu Shuzhen and a few people came upstairs, and just saw this scene and said with a smile.
"If you know your mistakes, you can change them! Qian'er dares to put forward at least the courage is commendable, and it should be encouraged! Zhao Ta touched his chin and said.
"Qian'er, my father is joking with you, how can you take it seriously!" Zhu Shuzhen said to her son with a straight face.
"Don't blame him, how can such a young child become a big man if he follows the rules!" Zhao Ta pulled his son over and said.
"Your Majesty, you spoil him so much, how can you make it so that you have to take them with you when you leave the palace!" Zhu Shuzhen frowned and said.
"Children just want to play, see the world, sit in the palace all day long and listen to those pedants, and they are bored and suffocated!" Zhao Ta waved his hand and said.
"Long live my father, long live!" The two children didn't wait for Zhu Shuzhen to refute and shouted in unison, seeing that they were happy to listen to it, these two children really had the demeanor of the emperor back then.
"Oh, you guys!" Zhu Shuzhen sighed helplessly, looking at the two children snuggling up to the emperor one by one, there was no way to do it.
"Niangniang, don't worry about it, the official family also went out of the palace when they were so old, and they were used to being at ease since they were young, otherwise they wouldn't have secretly run out of Beijing!" Zhao Xin looked at the queen's appearance and persuaded.
"Didn't the official family want to study when they were young?" Zhu Shuzhen asked.
"Hehe, you have to ask Xiye about this!" Zhao Xin pointed to Jianxi and said.
"This ...... It's not that His Majesty doesn't like to read, he just doesn't like to read those scriptures and histories, saying that those are the most boring and teach people to be nerds! The queen looked at herself, thought about it and said.
"No wonder, the official family never talks in court, I see!" Zhu Shu said truthfully.
"Niangniang, you will go to Zhuangzi in front, where the official family will get it, you will know it at a glance!" Zhao Xin said.
While speaking, the boat suddenly stopped, and the emperor called the sailors to put down the boat, and he was going to go ashore, which startled everyone.
"Mother, we are going to go ashore to eat corn, and my father asks you if you are going? The concubine Niangniang, the virtuous concubine Niangniang, and the lady concubine Niangniang all said that they were going! At this time, Zhao Yushan ran over and asked.
"You must have made the trouble again, right?" Zhu Shuzhen asked.
"No, my brother asked what the corn tasted like, and my father said that if you want to know the taste of peaches, you have to taste it yourself!" Zhao Yushan said.
"Alas, as soon as the official family leaves the palace, they will mess around, if you know that I will not come!" Zhu Shuzhen sighed and said.
"Don't you want to taste it? This was found by His Majesty from the other side of the ocean thousands of miles away, and I was also curious about what it tasted like and how to eat it! Zhao Xin smiled and pulled Zhu Shuzhen downstairs.
Zhao Ta got off the boat with a large family, only Jianxi and Wangfu and a few other attendants accompanied him, and the others drove the boat to Zhuangzi Wharf according to the instructions, which made Jianxi cry bitterly. A few days ago, the emperor was tired of staying in the palace, and wanted to go to Beifu to have a look, and saw that if he was officially on patrol, it would be earth-shattering, and tens of thousands of horses and horses were dispatched to escort him, and he would definitely not like it with the emperor's temperament, so he just transferred a big ship in his own name according to his orders, and arranged sailors and guards.
Because it came out secretly, there were only one hundred and ten internal guards with him, but he didn't expect the emperor to bring out the family except for two who were still breastfeeding, and now he has dispersed the internal guards. If something really happened, the emperor's family would be uprooted, and a hundred of his heads would not be enough to cut off, so he secretly left more than a dozen people on the river in small boats just in case.
A group of people changed into civilian clothes before getting off the boat, but Zhao Ta couldn't help but laugh when he saw it, he was still wearing a bare military uniform, although the others had tried to be as simple as possible, but the old clothes in the palace were also a hundred times stronger than the outside, no matter how they looked at it, they were nondescript, just like the Japanese devils who stole landmines in the movie back then.
"Zhao Xin, this is our Zhuangzi's land!" Zhao Ta went ashore to take a look left and right, there were green gauze tents more than one person high everywhere, and he hadn't been back for more than ten years, so he asked with some uncertainty.
"Second master, that's right, this is Xiao Zhaozhuang's land, and we have hares here!" Zhao Xin carefully identified it and said with great certainty.
"That's it, since it's your own thing, it can't be considered stealing, it can only be said to be a scourge, let's go!" With a wave of his hand, Zhao Ta led the 'army' into the green gauze tent that began to turn yellow, and the two small ones followed closely behind, and the others could only follow with a wry smile......
Zhao Ta found a large open space in the field, and then he assigned tasks to everyone, collecting firewood, building stoves, of course, his task is to find something that can be entered, he skillfully selected some fresh corn cobs and broke more than a dozen ears, saw that peanuts and sweet potatoes were still planted in the field not far away, and unceremoniously pulled and planed a bunch.
The two little ones were like young beasts that had just learned to hunt with the mother beast, and they kept asking various questions in their mouths, but Zhao Ta explained to the two children with a rare good temper, and kept reminding them to pay attention to whether anyone around them had found out. And this feeling of being a thief made the two children feel extremely exciting and fresh, and found happiness that they had never had in the palace.
"Zhao Qian, pull it lightly, don't leave the fruit in the ground, you must look carefully and don't lose it, these peanuts will grow for a long time, and they can only be obtained after the work of many people, don't waste them!"
"Yushan, dig down the vine and you'll find the sweet potato, don't you understand the truth of the vine?"
"Like me, pick them one by one!"
"Be quiet, don't be discovered by the people watching the autumn, otherwise we will be miserable!" …… Zhao Ta instructed the two children while working, explaining how to select seeds, how to cultivate, how to harvest, how to preserve the fruits, what things can be eaten, what can be fed to livestock, and how to dispose of the remaining waste......
