In the evening, Zhao Yao came back from dinner in the Eighth Prince's house, and saw Dou Le waiting at the door of his courtyard, so he hurriedly walked over.

As soon as Dou Le saw Zhao Yao, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted Zhao Yao first: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Ten." As he spoke, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zhao Yao. Your Highness the Tenth, this is a letter from the prince to you. ”

Zhao Yao took the letter with a happy face and said, "I think you should also send me a letter." ”

Tongxi on the side said jokingly: "Dou Le, if you don't send the letter from His Royal Highness the King of Chu today, His Highness will be in a hurry in the next few days." ”

Dou Le said with a smile on his face: "The slave maid knows that His Royal Highness Ten has been waiting for the letter from the prince, and he is afraid that His Highness Ten will be in a hurry, so as soon as he received the letter, the slave and maid sent it." ”

"Thank you for your hard work." Zhao Yao took the letter into his arms and said to Dou Le with a smile, "Come into the house with me, and let Tongxi entertain you with tea and snacks." ”

"Your Highness Xie Shi." Dou Le followed Tongxi into the house.

Zhao Yao wanted to write a reply to the King of Chu, so Dou Le had to stay for the time being, and wait for His Royal Highness Ten to write a reply.

Back in the study, Zhao Yao couldn't wait to open the letter from His Royal Highness the King of Chu, a full twelve pieces of paper.

The King of Chu is not a person who talks a lot on weekdays, and he doesn't talk much to anyone, even Concubine Li. The only person who can make the King of Chu talk a lot is Zhao Yao.

Before, the king of Chu wrote to Zhao Yao for only two or three letters, and simply wrote about what he had done in the past half a month, and Zhao Yao said that he wrote a perfunctory letter to him.

Zhao Yao asked the king of Chu to write to him in the future, at least ten pieces of paper. Since then, the king of Chu has written to Zhao Yao with more than a dozen pieces of paper every time.

The King of Chu wrote a letter to Zhao Yao every half a month, and it has never been broken in the past few years.

When I opened the letter, I asked him if he had studied hard in the past half a month.

Zhao Yao looked at it and complained in his heart: Fourth brother, can't you change the beginning?

In the letter, the king of Chu told Zhao Yao about the situation in Liangzhou and his son.

Before the king of Chu took over Liangzhou, Liangzhou was a little chaotic, mainly because the people were unsettled, after all, it had been occupied by the rebellious army before.

The rebels didn't care about the lives of the people, they only knew how to exploit the people, which made the people of Liangzhou miserable. Later, the rebellious army was removed, and the imperial court sent people to manage Liangzhou, and the life of the people was better.

After the king of Chu took over Liangzhou, he managed Liangzhou in an orderly manner, so that the people could live a stable life. Before he left, Zhao Yao gave him an improved plow. Zhao Yao called it a "Quyuan plow".

The curved plow is better to use and less effort than the previous plow.

Since the introduction of the zigzag plow, the people have become more comfortable plowing the land.

Only when the land is cultivated well can the grain be planted well. If the grain is planted well, the harvest will be good.

Because of the appearance of Quyuan plow, the harvest in many places in Dazhou has increased a lot in recent years, especially in the Jiangnan area.

In recent years, the grain harvest in the southern part of the Yangtze River has increased by three or four layers compared with previous years. Liangzhou's grain harvest has also increased considerably.

Because of Qu Yuan Plough, Zhao Yao, the ten princes, has a wave of goodwill among the people. He now has a very high reputation among the people, and he is not lost to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Acting King at all.

In addition to giving the king of Chu Qu Yuan plough this great gift, Zhao Yao also told the king of Chu in the letter that he could collect more sheep dung as fertilizer to water the fields.

There are many people in Liangzhou who raise sheep, and the most important thing is sheep dung. With sheep manure as fertilizer, many fields in Liangzhou have become much more fertile.

Speaking of sheep dung, Zhao Yao once asked Liang Run to send people to buy sheep dung in the Western Regions.

Compared with the Great Zhou, there are more sheep in the Western Regions. Moreover, there are not many people in the Western Regions who farm the land.

When the people in the Western Regions learned that the Great Zhou people wanted to buy sheep dung, they all thought the Great Zhou people were strange, and secretly laughed at the Great Zhou people. Since the people of the Great Zhou are stupid and have a lot of money, they are willing to buy their sheep dung, of course they are willing to sell it, although it is very cheap, but it is a penny to be able to sell it.

In fact, Zhao Yao originally wanted to get the fertilizer out, but after thinking about it, he would wait for him to go to Lingnan in the future to make it.

The people of the Great Zhou did not expect sheep dung to be so useful, which made the people in all parts of the Great Zhou rise up to raise sheep.

When the king of Chu was in the palace before, he often read agricultural books, and once personally went to inquire about experienced old farmers. To this end, he also wrote a book on agriculture. He is very experienced in farming.

After he arrived in Liangzhou, he was very concerned about the grain in Liangzhou, and often went down to the field to check the situation of rice or wheat in person.

Every year during spring ploughing, he also personally went to the fields to plough the land and plant seedlings. When the autumn harvest came, he personally went to the field to cut rice and wheat.

The people of Liangzhou were naturally very moved when they saw His Royal Highness the King of Chu attaching so much importance to food. At the same time, he is also more attentive to farming.

In addition to attaching importance to food, the king of Chu also attached great importance to reading.

Because of the rebellion in Liangzhou, many scholars were killed and many academies were destroyed. Before the king of Chu took over Liangzhou, the Taishou of Liangzhou did not care about reading. Liangzhou Taishou had long known that Liangzhou would become a fief of a certain prince in the future, and he would not be able to be a Taishou for long, so he was too lazy to bother to manage Liangzhou.

After the king of Chu came to Liangzhou, he not only paid for the construction of the academy, but also established a Taixue in Liangzhou. As long as the student can be admitted to Taixue, he does not have to be bound, and he can also get rewards.

In the past two years, Liangzhou's literary style has flourished much more than before. It is said that there are still many students from other places who go to Liangzhou to study.

The Taixue in the capital is too difficult to test, only one out of ten people can get in, and the Taixue in Liangzhou is much better than the Taixue in the capital. For students all over the world, it is also excellent to be admitted to Liangzhou Taixue and stay in Liangzhou as an official in the future.

Before the king of Chu came to Liangzhou, he was quite famous among the people. After he arrived in Liangzhou, Corporal Lixian was eager to seek talent, which made him even more virtuous.

In recent years, many people have gone to Liangzhou to find a way out. For the talented people, the king of Chu accepted them all, and treated them with courtesy.

A few years after the king of Chu took over Liangzhou, Liangzhou took on a new look, and the people seemed to have a new life.

He also repaired the law, and he also personally tried the cases accumulated in Liangzhou, washing away the grievances of many people, and was called "Lord Qingtian" by the people.

Today, the people of Liangzhou are grateful to the King of Chu, and praise the King of Chu everywhere as a virtuous king, and he was sent by the Bodhisattva Buddha Zhu to save them.

He also trained his soldiers diligently. Because of this matter, he was also consulted by the minister, saying that he had bad intentions. However, the emperor did not blame him, but praised him for doing a good job.

Although a few years ago, the acting king drove away the rebellious army, there is no guarantee that Liangzhou will always be safe.

Today's King of Chu can be regarded as a vassal king who dominates one side. Of course, he has no idea of hegemony for the time being. Everything he is doing now is what he feels he should do.

Although the King of Chu did not return to Beijing, the achievements made by the King of Chu in Liangzhou in the past few years made His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Acting King begin to be jealous of him in their hearts.

The King of Chu didn't care about this, but he was also secretly wary of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Acting King.

In the letter, the king of Chu also told Zhao Yao that his little nephew, Xiao Baozi, had been thinking about his little uncle and asked him when this little uncle would come to Liangzhou to see him.

Because the king of Chu often told his son about Zhao Yao, although Xiao Baozi had never seen Zhao Yao, the little uncle, he always remembered him. In addition, Zhao Yao often sends fun things to Xiao Baozi.

For Zhao Yao, a little uncle who has never met, Xiao Baozi likes it very much and misses it very much.

Seeing that his little nephew thought of him like this, Zhao Yao's heart moved and he had a plan. He wrote a letter to the king of Chu and asked the king of Chu to propose to the emperor and invite him to go to Liangzhou to play.

A few years ago, Zhao Yao was young, and the emperor did not agree to him going to Liangzhou, but now he is a few years older, and now the emperor should agree to him to go to Liangzhou.

Zhao Yao wrote the letter and handed it to Dou Le.

"Your Highness the Tenth, the slave and maid are going to Liangzhou in a while, your letter, can the slave and maid be brought directly to the prince?"

"You're going to Liangzhou, when are you going?" Zhao Yao hurriedly asked, "What are you doing in Liangzhou?" ”

Dou Le had already guessed that Zhao Yao would have such an excited expression when he heard that he was going to Liangzhou. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Niangniang asked the slave maid to go to Liangzhou to see the prince, and by the way, I sent some things to the prince." ”

When Zhao Yao heard Dou Le say this, his first reaction was that something had happened.

"What's wrong with the fourth brother, is something wrong?" The fourth brother wrote to him all about good things, and never about bad things. He knew that the fourth brother didn't want him to worry. He had thought about sending someone to Liangzhou, so that if something happened to the fourth brother, he would be the first to know. However, after thinking about it, it was not appropriate for him to do so. Besides, it will be embarrassing for the fourth brother to find out when the time comes.

Seeing Zhao Yao's worried face, Dou Le hurriedly comforted him and said, "Your Highness, the prince is fine, and there is no accident in Liangzhou." ”

"Then why did you suddenly go to Liangzhou?" Zhao Yao said with a suspicious face, "Dou Le, you can't hide it from me. ”

"Your Highness Ten, how dare the slave hide it from you, the prince is really fine, it's just that the mother misses the prince, and misses His Royal Highness." Dou Le said, "Since His Royal Highness was born, Niangniang has never seen it at a glance, and Niangniang is thinking about whether to bring the princess and His Royal Highness to the capital." ”

"I see." Zhao Yao pretended to believe Dou Le's words, "However, Xiao Baozi is only two or three years old, can he travel a long way to the capital?" ”

"Niangniang really wants His Royal Highness, so I let the slave maid go to Liangzhou to have a look." Dou Le said, "Let's see if the princess and His Royal Highness can come to the capital." ”

Zhao Yao asked again: "When are you going?" ”

Dou Le replied: "Five days later, the slave maid set off for Liangzhou. ”

"Five days later?" Zhao Yao thought in his heart that the Huns would arrive in the capital in ten days, and he wanted to follow Dou Le to Liangzhou, but he was afraid that it would not work. "Then I can't go with you, can't you go later, and when the Huns are gone, you can go again."

"Your Highness the Tenth, the slave and maid can't be the master of this matter." Dou Le said with a sad face.

"Okay, then you go to Liangzhou to see the fourth brother first, and I'll go back later." After Zhao Yao finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked, "Do you want to bring something with you to Liangzhou?" ”

"This is natural, the mother has prepared a lot of things, and she wants the slave and maid to give them to the prince and princess." Dou Le said, "The slave maid went to Liangzhou by boat. ”

Zhao Yao was shocked: "Concubine Li prepared a boatload of things for the fourth brother." ”

"Almost."

Zhao Yao exclaimed in his heart: My good girl, Concubine Li is really rich.

"I also prepare some things for the fourth brother and the little bun, and you can bring them for me when the time comes."

"Yes, Your Highness the Ten."

After Dou Le finished speaking, he left Xingde Palace.

Tong Xi saw that Zhao Yao's face was a little not good, and hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong?" ”

"Fourth brother must have had an accident, otherwise Concubine Li would not have sent Dou Le to Liangzhou."

"Your Highness, didn't Dou Le just say it, it's Concubine Li who thinks about the prince and His Royal Highness."

"The little bun is only two or three years old, and no matter how much Concubine Li thinks about her grandson, she won't let the fourth sister-in-law bring the little bun to the capital now." Zhao Yao said with a slightly calm face, "Where can Xiao Baozi withstand a long journey when he is young, if he gets sick on the way, or something happens, it will kill Xiao Baozi." ”

"That's what Your Highness said." Tongxi asked anxiously and worriedly: What happened to His Royal Highness the King of Chu? ”

"Gotta go and ask." Zhao Yao showed a calm look on his face, "I hope it's not a big deal." ”

If it weren't for the big deal, Concubine Li wouldn't have sent Dou Le to Liangzhou.

There is one more more.
