"Dare to ask Your Majesty, what is this?" Song Yingxing looked at the strange thing in front of him and asked.

"It's a spinning machine that can spin eight threads at the same time."

"Eight?!"

“......”

Didn't you say that you came over and pretended to be forced after completing your studies, what do you mean by throwing me a spinning machine again? Also spinning eight yarns at a time, such a small thing can spin eight threads at a time?

Zhu Youzhen looked at Song Yingxing's face full of disbelief and was stunned for a moment. My creditworthiness has decreased? Then I understood.

"Ahem~ Dean Song, this is a model. It can't really be used for production. ”

"And what does Your Majesty mean?"

"It's a model, but can't you use it if you zoom it in?"

Alas? Seems to be the case?

"Can you take a look?"

"Look."

After getting permission, Song Yingxing squatted on the ground and studied, this touch, that knock.

It's a good thing, it's just a little small.

"Can you make it?"

"Yes!"

"Take it, and see me when it's done!"

“...... The minister retired. ”

Song Yingxing came in a hurry, and left in a hurry.

The first day of the fifth month

The Dragon Boat Festival began to be celebrated in the palace.

Shooting willows, hussaring, dragon boating, flower appreciation, drinking and eating zongzi, a series of activities are arranged.

Zhu Youzhen was a little uninterested, because he remembered one thing.

It's time to harvest the wheat.

On this day, he took a group of people to Shunyi Huangzhuang again.

As soon as you leave the capital, you can see endless wheat fields, occasionally the wind blows, and the wheat ears gently sway with the breeze, forming waves of wheat.

Along the way, there are farmers bending over to cut wheat, and from time to time they raise their heads to wipe the sweat from their foreheads. On the ground, there are children of all sizes playing happily, and in their simple cognition, they already know that a good harvest is a big event.

The village that came to Zhang Dahai this time was very different from the past, and the men, women and children who did not go out in the house in winter all walked out of the house and walked to the field. Zhang Erhu, who was weaving a straw hat with a dog's tail, saw Zhu Youzhen's carriage from a long distance, and when he saw Li Xiaohua, who was the first to jump down from the carriage, he jumped high in excitement and ran towards the carriage quickly. Then he knelt down towards Zhu Youzhen again.

"Long live Your Majesty!"

Zhu Youzhen smiled and asked him to get up.

"Where's your father?"

"My father and my sister are cutting wheat in the field." After speaking, he looked at Li Xiaohua on the side.

"Cao Huachun, how is the harvest in Huangzhuang this year?"

"Long live, the harvest has just begun, and the harvest will not be known until the harvest is finished. However, this year's wheat seeds are a godsend, and Taizu is grateful for His Majesty's kindness, and the yield will definitely increase a lot compared with previous years. ”

"Then threshing on the spot, and then cut the wheat in the field of Zhang Dahai's house. I want to know how much I can get per mu. ”

"Yes, slave and maid obey."

After speaking, arrange for people to measure the land, harvest, and thresh.

After finishing, several people who weighed looked at each other. One of them quickly ran up to Cao Huachun and whispered something.

"What?"

After speaking, Cao Huachun ran to the pile of grain and took a look, and ran to Zhu Youzhen, who was standing under the tree to enjoy the coolness, with a shout of surprise.

"Hooray! Auspicious! Zhang Dahai's land yields five stones, three buckets and six liters of wheat per mu! ”

"Five stones, three buckets, six liters..."

Zhu Youzhen silently calculated in his heart, about nearly seven hundred catties.

It's not high.

However, compared to the previous output of more than two stones, it is already a miracle, didn't you see Cao Huachun shouting that it was auspicious?

After thinking about it, he said to Cao Huachun:

"Organize people to harvest as soon as possible, and report all the output of the Huangzhuang to me."

"Yes!" After hesitating for a moment, Cao Huachun then asked. "Then this year, the tenants will hand it in..."

The tenant farmer left one stone per acre, and handed over the rest.

"Yes!"

One stone is about 150 catties, and taking the ten acres of land planted by Zhang Dahai as an example, their family can leave 1,500 catties of grain. It doesn't sound like much, but at least it's guaranteed not to be hungry. At present, there is a serious shortage in Shaanxi, and he has to be prepared to provide support when necessary. Besides, this is just one crop of wheat, and then there is corn.

When Cao Huachun walked away, Zhu Youzhen said to Wang Chengen expressionlessly:

"Wang Banban, order to go down, so that the people of the two factories will keep an eye on it. Anyone who withholds the rations of tenant farmers or makes false reports and conceals them will be arrested and beheaded. I want them to know that they shouldn't take it, and if they do, they'll die! ”

"Yes!"

Wang Chengen felt a chill down his spine when he heard this. His Majesty is never stingy with the people around him, but he also does not rub sand in his eyes. You can ask for what he wants to give, but you can reach out and take it without permission. It's time to weigh your head.

This time, the two factories were on errands, and I don't know how many heads have landed.

May you all be smarter.

When he came back from Huangzhuang, Zhang Erhu's tears were about to fall. has been chasing behind the carriage for a long time, and the expression seems to say: Xiaohua! You can't go, little flower! How can I live without you, little flower!

Zhu Youzhen put down the curtain of the carriage and said to Li Xiaohua with a smile:

"Xiaohua, you see that the two tigers are reluctant to let you go. Do you like to play with him? ”

"I don't like him, dumbfounded."

"Haha!"

I don't know what Zhang Erhu felt when he heard this.

But then again, Zhu Youzhen did think about what Li Xiaohua should do. Staying in the palace all the time didn't do her any good.

Forget it, let's talk about it later, it's still small.

A few days later, Zhu Youzhen received the total harvest of Huangzhuang according to Cao Huachun's statistics.

The total was 12,133,160 stone 7 buckets and 6 liters, excluding the tenant farmers' 2,684,032 stones, leaving a net balance of 9,449,128 stone 7 buckets and 6 liters.

"Is the number accurate?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the slave and maid checked before coming. Not the slightest. ”

"Oh? Then Cao palm print, look at what this is. ”

As he spoke, he threw a fold in front of Cao Huachun.

Cao Huachun heard the coldness of Zhu Youzhen's tone, and trembled and bowed down to pick up the fold on the ground.

Liu Danian, Changping Huangzhuang, deducted 1,360 stone of grain from the tenant's household account, and concealed the output of 2,100 stone

Shunyi Huangzhuang Wuhai Pingke deducted 815 stone of grain from the tenant's household account, and concealed the output of 2,800 stone

Shunyi Huangzhuang Liu Fangke deducted the tenant account grain......

"Damn it! Damn it! Long live your life! ”

Cao Huachun was scared to death. It is true that these people are his subordinates, and it is not false that they usually have filial piety. But he really didn't know about these things, or he didn't expect them to be so serious. I told them to be careful, Your Majesty is a careful one, and now you will be miserable!

"Cao palm print? What should we do with these people? ”

"Raid the house! Exile! The slave must get this done! Cao Huachun said through gritted teeth.

"What else do you want to do? Do I have no two factories or no Jinyiwei? That little bit of trivial filial piety makes you dizzy, I don't know why? Yes? ”

"Slaves deserve to die."

It's over, Your Majesty knows everything.

"Get out, get the twenty boards yourself!"

Zhu Youzhen's last sentence is like a fairy sound for Cao Huachun, and he is safe for the time being.

"Long live the mercy!"
