The Zhuangzi next door to Huangzhuang is not large, covering an area of about 600 acres. originally belonged to an idle clan, and I don't know how to be deceived by the king of Yangjun. Most of the fields have been planted with crops such as soybeans and sorghum, while some are still empty, waiting to be planted. It seems that this idle clan does not pay much attention to Zhuangzi, and Zhuangzi is very lazy from the head of the village to the tenants. If you don't farm, you'll miss out on farming!

In fact, it is only mid-June, and if it is combined with Lingshi water, it should be able to produce a crop of watermelon in September. At that time, the melons on the market were just off the market and could be connected.

The Zhuangzi of the king of Yangjun has changed the stewards and recruited a new group of tenant farmers. King Yangjun has ordered that all the personnel on Zhuangzi should be at the disposal of Lord Yu. Therefore, Yu Xiaocao evokes people without any pressure.

She first asked the tenant farmers to reclaim a piece of land to grow watermelons and gourd seedlings. The well on the ground has been impregnated with the aura of the small mending stone, which is not only used for irrigation of melon seedlings, but also allows the tenant farmers to water all the crops on the farm. Recently, the climate in the capital has been relatively dry, and it has not rained for several days. Her orders were understood by the tenant farmers.

In the following days, Yu Xiaocao ran more often in Huangzhuang. Mrs. Fang complained more than once that the emperor had called a twelve-year-old girl as a man. Only Yu Xiaocao herself knows that what she values is not the corn in Huangzhuang, but the fruit trees on the mountain and the watermelons on Wang Zhuangzi in Yangjun.

After a precious rainfall, Yu Xiaocao came to Huangzhuang again in the slightly humid morning breeze. As usual, Steward Wang took the staff of Zhuangzi and reported to her in detail the growth of corn, and showed her the records of the household clerk.

After a cursory glance, she said uninterestedly: "These, they are not much different from the materials I used to organize." No matter how detailed the data is, it is not as intuitive as a trip to the field. ”

After that, she took a group of reluctant stewards and officials to the middle of the test field under the sun. There is a cheat in the small mending stone, and it is difficult for corn to grow well!

"Miss Yu, the fruit trees on the mountain have all survived, except for a few who are not very energetic, most of them can't tell that they have just been transplanted." Although the fruit trees on the mountain are Yu Xiaocao's private property, Steward Wang still helps take care of them. Yu Xiaocao received this love. In the future, when the orchard grows, the canning workshop and the canned fruit workshop will be built, and he will share some shares.

However, Steward Wang said that there are fruit trees that don't grow well? Can't you? Yu Xiaocao walked unhurriedly towards the back mountain of Zhuangzi. When she came to the fruit tree that Steward Wang said was "not very spiritual", her brows couldn't help frowning. This fruit sapling has been passed!

As the saying goes: If a tree dies, a man lives. Fruit trees, a valuable tree species, are most taboo for frequent transplantation. If it weren't for the spirit stone water in hand, at this time, Xiaocao would not dare to guarantee that it would be able to move the fruit trees to life. Someone actually touched her fruit tree while she was away. It seems that those people finally can't hold back and have a move!

"Steward Wang, in our imperial village, outsiders are generally not allowed to enter and exit, right?" When Yu Xiaocao bent down to loosen the soil for those fruit trees that were not very spiritual, he quietly asked Xiao Tiantian Stone to release spiritual power at the roots of the fruit trees. Xiao Tianshi was very angry and proposed in her mind that all the fruit trees had been passive, and if it weren't for the support of its spiritual power, these trees would have dried up a long time ago.

Steward Wang was shocked, could it be that the problem with these fruit trees was man-made? He hurriedly and solemnly promised: "Miss Yu, the emperor attaches great importance to this experimental field of the imperial village, and even those tenants are carefully selected. Since the introduction of high-yield corn, the emperor has also sent additional Yulin guards to patrol. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to enter outsiders! ”

"That means it's an insider of our Zhuangzi?" Yu Xiaocao's eyes were like electricity, and he slowly glanced around at the people behind Steward Wang, and said with a sneer.

Someone immediately said unconvinced: "This season is not the season for transplanting fruit trees, most of them can survive is already good, and it is not uncommon for one or two to die." Lord Yu, we are all sent by the emperor, we can't be so plainly suspicious! ”

The sneer on the corner of Yu Xiaocao's mouth deepened, and he said slowly: "Leng Guan, Zhuangzi's insiders, don't you just refer to you stewards, aren't there hundreds of tenants?" You jumped out so violently, you can't help but be a thief! ”

"You...... When the emperor was in power, I was in charge of Zhuangzi for the emperor, and now that I am old, I will be sneered at by a little girl who has not grown hair! I can't bear this breath! This Leng Fang looks like he is forty or fifty years old, his hair and beard are a little gray, his face is white and fat without many wrinkles, and he doesn't look like a perennial garrison in Zhuangzi, but like a pampered old lady.

Old God Yu Xiaocao raised his eyebrows on the ground, and said politely to him at all: "You also know how old you are?" It's time for you to retire! The next time this official enters the palace, he will mention in the emperor's ear that after the age of fifty, it is really not suitable to work in the fields......"

"You ......" Leng Fang was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick, but he didn't dare to say anything more. He is now a big celebrity in front of the emperor, and he has the opportunity to enter the palace every month. He is nothing more than a small deputy on the Imperial Village. If the little girl really said something in front of the emperor, I'm afraid he would be stunned in this imperial village!

The cold steward softened, but Yu Xiaocao didn't intend to let it go: "Whether it is everyone here or the tenants on the Zhuangzi, it is absolutely intolerable to make bad things behind it!" This time, it was the fruit trees I planted that I planted, so next time I will use the experimental field on the Huangzhuang? ”

"Lord Yu, it is unfair for you to say that. Not to mention whether these fruit trees are man-made or not. Let's talk about the test field, once something goes wrong, none of us can escape. Who will do such a thing as a detriment to others and to himself? "The one who spoke was a steward named Zhou Yang, who was not very old, always looked like a smile, and was very popular in Zhuangzi.

Yu Xiaocao seemed to be smiling, glanced at him meaningfully, and said: "I know, I am young, and I am a female baby, and I am in charge of the affairs of the Huangzhuang, which makes some people unconvinced." If something happens to Huangzhuang, the first person to be held accountable by the emperor is naturally me, the agricultural official. As for you, you can use 'do everything to others' to undo most of the faults. When the emperor loses confidence in me, will I, who has crushed you, still be able to stay in this position? Perhaps, at this time, someone is already planning how to get rid of or get rid of my stumbling block! ”

"Nonsense, do you have proof? This is just your speculation! Leng Fang snorted.

"Whether it's my speculation or not, some people know! It seems that the official is still too benevolent, and he thinks that everyone is an old man in Zhuangzi, and he has some feelings for this. So when the emperor said that I could appoint and dismiss the Zhuang people at any time, he was not willing to move you people. But as it turned out, I was wrong! ”

Yu Xiaocao sighed and said to Steward Wang: "Steward Wang, this matter will be handed over to you!" Please be sure to find out this black sheep within three days. Otherwise...... I only have to take precautions, play the emperor, and replace all the personnel on the Zhuangzi! ”

When she said that the emperor gave her the right to appoint and dismiss the stewards of the village, everyone except for Wang was a little panicked. You must know that the emperor attaches great importance to the experimental field of the Huangzhuang, and if you want the horses to run, you have to let the horses eat enough grass, so the treatment on the Huangzhuang is much higher than that of other royal Zhuangzi. A small steward in the imperial village is no worse than the treatment of the chief eunuch in the palace. Not to mention, sometimes you can get some benefits out of it.

No one wants to be taken away from the position of steward and give up the preferential treatment. When Steward Wang was just about to start investigating, there were already a lot of people coming over and confessing what they knew to Steward Wang.

In fact, the matter of pulling out the fruit saplings in the back mountains was just Zhou Yang privately teaching Yu Xiaocao a lesson. Although Yang Nian is not big this week, his heart is relatively high, and he is like a fish in water in Huangzhuang with a few points of drilling camp on weekdays. But after Yu Xiaocao landed in Zhuangzi, she had to obey her for everything. As soon as he came, he called the stewards in the village to do the work, or with those tenants, to do manual work.

In private, the stewards were full of complaints, and they often got together to count down this little girl who didn't know the height of the sky. When Yu Xiaocao dispatched the tenants in Zhuangzi to plant fruit trees in the back mountain, they all heard that this fruit tree was owned by the little girl.

blatantly invoke the resources on the imperial village for his own benefit. This little girl is too bold, isn't she? Zhou Yang was speechless, and after seeing that the fruit trees in the back mountain were growing well, he was very unhappy, so he pondered to set up a stumbling block for this girl and let her suffer a secret loss. One night, I brought a few henchmen to pull out the fruit tree that had been planted and replanted it.

Originally, he thought about it. Anyway, the season is not right, and no one can guarantee whether the fruit tree species will live or not. Even if he dies, he will not be suspected of man-made heads. Besides, that girl used the mountain of Huangzhuang privately, and even if she suffered a secret loss, she didn't dare to speak out. How do you know that people have already reported in front of the emperor, and they want to report it to the saint.

The steward who can gain a foothold in Huangzhuang is not like a human spirit. Zhou Yang's small actions naturally can't hide from those who have a heart. It's just that they also want to teach the little girl a lesson, so they don't say anything. But I never expected that people would rather kill a hundred by mistake than let one go. For his own interests, he naturally has to sacrifice Zhou Yang, the initiator!

When Zhou Yang was found out, he thought that he would definitely not be able to stay in Huangzhuang, and he didn't know what kind of punishment was waiting for him. Who knows, Yu Xiaocao didn't take the usual path, not only did he drive him away, but also let him be in charge of the fruit trees on the mountain, which is called "make up for the merits!"
