The embroidered envoy Xiaoqi saw Wei Jishu looking at Liu Ke, so he also looked over.

He didn't know the emperor.

The autumn harvest is a major event, especially after nearly a year of ecological surveys, and sweet potatoes and corn have been planted in some fields.

It is even more important to count the yield of land.

Liu Ke did not delay, and directly asked Xiaoqi what the situation was now.

There is too much land, and the manpower is a little tight.

A large number of families have been cut, a large pile of manure fields have been made, and after ecological investigations, a large number of "borderlands" have been found.

In previous years, there were enough manpower, but now there are not enough.

And because of the three crops in Qiongzhou, it is often necessary to rush to harvest, otherwise the planting of the second season will be delayed.

Liu Ke asked Wei Jishu to go to Xue Jia, and the two discussed it and came up with a way.

Then he took the scholars of the Hanlin Academy and went to the countryside to assist in the harvest.

He can't come up with a solution, but he can do it!

And it happens to take the autumn harvest to test and test how far these scholars can go.

The results of the autumn harvest are used to determine the ranking of the temple examination.

There will be a test in the front, and the selected students must have real talents and real learning.

But what Liu Ke values more is pragmatism.

The imperial examination should be the mainstay of the Han court, not the talker.

Let the scholars go to the people and set a tone for the grassroots level.

At least in the next few years, the official style and literary style of the DPRK and China will be more pragmatic.

Not long after, Liu Ke took a group of scholars to a small village on the edge of Qiongzhou City.

Most of the scholars are called mourning.

Sitting in the Hanlin Courtyard, clearing the accounts and counting the list, why was he caught in the mud?

But they didn't dare to say anything.

Looking at Wei Jishu's attitude towards this Lord Bi, you know that this is a big official.

"That's it."

Liu Ke looked at it and saw that the house was built along the river, and then on the side, there was an endless field.

The peasants were all dressed in short clothes and short sleeves, barebacked, wearing straw sandals, and without raising their heads, working in the fields.

The skin is a bronzer due to the constant exposure to the scorching sun.

The body doesn't look very thick, but the arms look strong and powerful.

Liu Ke and the local lieutenant chief, as well as the nearby embroidered clothes envoy, knew that they would know, and urged the scholars to assist the farmers in the autumn harvest.

The peasants, instinctively, smiled innocently.

Although most of these scholars look at the fine skin and tender meat, I am afraid that they can't distinguish between rice and corn.

But it's always good to have multiple people to help.

And what the imperial court has done over the years, the peasants have seen it.

They are most rustic.

Whoever is good to them and who is bad to them, they all know in their hearts.

Most of the scholars couldn't laugh.

Especially Zhen Fu.

Enduring the smell of mud mixed with the air, I felt that bubbles were grinding under my feet along the way.

He goes out in a sedan chair, and he has never walked so many roads in his life.

The clothes on his body are also covered with mud.

I can't wear it anymore.

Hai said that he was more easy-going, and he was very accustomed to such scenes.

He was a poor man, and when he was four years old, his father died.

Since then, orphans and widows have depended on each other, relying on more than a dozen acres of land left by their ancestors to barely make ends meet.

However, he also didn't understand it very much, and glanced at Liu Ke.

Among this group of scholars, there are only a few who can farm and work.

Others, the four bodies are not diligent and the grains are not divided, and it is good not to help.

Even if the autumn harvest is short of manpower, they are of little use.

"This is Lord Wei's order, and I can't help it."

Liu Ke spread his hands and directly pushed the pot to Wei Jishu.

Then he continued:

"You are all people who have gone through the examination and left behind with a full stomach, working in the mud, just in vain to let Baoyu be dusted."

"The court is where you play."

"Just mess with it, Lord Wei was also negligent this time."

"It is estimated that Lord Wei is also too anxious because he heard about the shortage of manpower, so he came up with this kind of stupid trick."

Liu Ke is quite easy-going, and even used the destiny of several acting departments to make himself appear more low-voiced.

The scholars listened very comfortably.

That is, their talent lies in governing the country, how can they be like mud legs, planting fields?

Anyway, Master Bi also said it, just make a show to deal with Wei Jishu.

Among them, a few of them immediately began to paddle in the water.

There is a clever one, squatting on the spot.

After putting some mud on his clothes, and pretending to have worked all day, he found a big tree and slept under the shade of it.

"Master Bi, remember to call me!"

"Eh, okay!"

Liu Ke responded with a full mouth, and really didn't control it much.

"Hai said, do you really want to go farming?"

But I saw that Hai Shuo had already rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the field.

Hai Shuo nodded:

"Hmm."

"Today, I once said a word."

"What?"

Because of the knowledge of Hai Shuo before, many people really worshipped him, and many scholars led by him surrounded him.

If this kind of land is what it means today, it will be different.

Liu Ke also approached curiously.

He couldn't remember what he said.

Hai said word by word, especially solemnly:

"Take off your caftan and go to the folk to have a look."

"Hmm"

The scholars pondered for a moment.

Liu Ke nodded slightly, he said it.

It happened to be said to the important ministers of the family when Jia Wuji wrote "Governing the People".

However, at that time, there was no room for optimization in the structure of the imperial court, so it was said, that is to say.

I didn't expect that someone would remember it.

Hai said that he didn't do much in words, and others spoke softly and couldn't do much.

Even if you are in high school and have just entered the official career, you have no influence.

But it's okay to do some work for the autumn harvest and share some of it for the farmers.

Like the sea said, without saying a word, the scholars who immediately threw themselves into the autumn harvest were only in decimals.

And basically all of them are scholars from poor backgrounds.

Only when they have also planted the land can they understand the hardships of the peasants and know how to harvest the rice.

Walk past the bastards who slept in the shade of the trees.

On the other side, led by Zhen Fu, students from wealthy families are all discussing.

"Do you really take off this garment and go to the fields?"

"Hai Shuo is already in action."

"I think Your Majesty has always been sympathetic to the people, if we are not moved, we are afraid that it will spread out, and it will not be liked by Your Majesty."

"This"

"Today, His Majesty has hyped up that the first battle of Gaozhou was a victory pushed by the peasants with small carts."

"Naturally, we will pay attention to this, and we must not just sit in the shade of a tree."

Zhen Fu raised his eyebrows, and those who could call him a brother and a classmate had some discernment.

Later, he entered the DPRK and China, and he was also a powerful candidate for the party.

As for the snoring under the shade of the trees, they are no longer his brothers.

"You're right."

"There's something wrong with that Master Bi."

"These days, we can all see that although Lord Wei is ugly, his ability is extraordinary."

"Even if there is an emergency, it will not be inexplicable, just let us come to the field to cultivate."

"There must be a reason, maybe it is testing us."

A group of scholars have discussed the advantages:

"Then let's go and ask the sea how to cut the wheat?"

"Or go get some farm tools?"

"This outfit really doesn't fit, and I have to change it."

"Although you and I don't know much about farming, it's not difficult to think of things that farmers can do."

Zhen Fu nodded:

"Go and ask the sea to say, at least, learn a hand or two of the crops."

Liu Ke himself had already gone down to the ground.

Farming is a skill he learned in the folk.

No need to smoke anyone's destiny.

However, while harvesting the crops, he also kept an eye on the movements of the scholars.

Hai said that he would do it, which made him happy.

The group of well-born scholars around Zhen Fu did not disappoint him.

Even if I don't understand it, I know how to ask, to learn, and to do it.

As for the shade of the tree, Liu Ke has been expelled from school.

"Why doesn't this Zhen Fu move?"

Liu Ke was a little regretful, although Zhen Fu let his friends go down to the ground.

But when it was his turn, he stood still.

I don't know what I'm thinking.

If Zhen Fu is just like this, one thing is said and another is done, even if he has good ability, he can't be reused.

Zhen Fu is in pain.

He didn't move where he was, mainly because, just now he was in the ground, he was tripped.

Although what stumbled him was a piece of gold that no one had dropped, but his foot was also broken.

He limped to a peasant and whispered.

And he handed the peasant a bag.

The farmer didn't dare to take it at first, and then, for some reason, he took the bag tremblingly, and then took the bag, put down the hoe, and rushed wildly.

Liu Ke was stunned, and he didn't know what Zhen Fu was thinking.

But looking at the still endless ridges, I continued to bury my head in cutting rice.

The emperor's hoe is just a wooden hoe.

Moo –

After a while, there was a cow barking.

Constantly turning over the soil, harvesting crops, and repeating actions made Liu Ke have some backache.

Sweat soaked through the clothes on his body, beads of sweat kept dripping from his forehead, and a tired look appeared on his face.

He listened to the cow barking and couldn't help but straighten up.

There was a burst of relaxation and comfort.

I was going to drink saliva, but looking at the scene in the distance, the whole person was stunned.

Zhen Fu brought twenty or thirty cows, as well as a large number of family members.

Looking at the clothes, it seems that it is not a family.

It is estimated that they are all hired from nearby families.

And Zhen Fu directly distributed the cattle to the scholars and farmers everywhere.

He also asked the family members to go down to the fields to assist in the autumn harvest.

"Zhen has a lot of family resources."

"Some people say I don't do anything, and that's true."

"But I have to be clear, there's a bunch of cattle on the way!"

Hiss.

A family with a cow seems a bit extravagant.

Otherwise, there would be no development of shared cattle and cows, and several families would share one cow.

But this Zhen Fu, the shot is twenty or thirty cows, and with so many cows, the efficiency is rising.

Zhen Fu cleared his throat and continued:

"Zhen has a lot of family resources, if you can harvest it as soon as possible, the cattle will be given to you!"

The word "gift" attracted a burst of cheers.

The simplest and most effective offensive is the money offensive.

It's just that Zhen is rich in money.

He is the son-in-law of the Wuji Zhen clan.

In this world, it is difficult to distinguish between the superior and the inferior in terms of talent and learning.

But when it comes to wealth, Wuji Zhen dares to say first, and no one dares to call it second.

Although the clan land of the Zhen clan is in the north.

It is extremely far from Qiongzhou.

But it's just that Zhen's business in the south is richer than He Kun and the He family behind him.

It's enough to squander the rich at will.

And Zhen Fu is also worthy of his 88 wisdom and 96 governance.

It is not because the money is stupid that the farmers are directly rewarded with money.

Instead, it was replaced with a more practical and useful ploughing cattle.

With Zhen Fu taking the lead, some scholars from equally wealthy families also came up with money.

Or hire a householder, or buy better farming tools and cattle.

Together, they are waging a money offensive.

The autumn harvest speed of the whole village is swaying upward.

Hai said that he and those poor scholars have no money.

But they have an attitude, they have a method.

just kept silent, accepted the ploughing cattle bought by Zhen Fu and others, and then effectively organized and coordinated the families and farmers, and continued to work hard.

This was an eye-opener for Liu Ke.

He originally thought that if he let the scholars go to the countryside, only Hai said that a scholar from a poor background, honest and honest, and with agricultural experience would behave well.

Even he felt that the autumn harvest in the countryside was regarded as a potential content of the palace examination, and it was undoubtedly directly appointed as the champion.

I didn't expect Zhen Fu to bring such a surprise.

Also.

The children of the family are not useless.

If it is really used well, it is used in the right place, and the energy exerted is unimaginable.

"That's not bad, either."

Liu Ke muttered.

It is not possible to rely only on the family or only on the common people.

To walk, you have to walk on two legs.

He already had an idea.

If Hai Shuo and Zhen Fu develop well in the future, they are likely to form factions in the court.

Counting Xiao Yuanchang, who can take care of both ends, the three most important branches will come out.

It's all the best of the best!

But I saw that another batch of cattle was delivered.

Zhen Fu coughed and limped:

"Although Zhen has a lot of family resources."

"But the money my family gave me is really not much, only 10 million at a time, 350 million and so on."

"Zhen, actually, is not interested in money."

"I just want to make a difference."

"If your career is not smooth within three years, you have to go home to inherit trillions of family assets, which is really a bit anxious."

Somehow, the peasants, including the scholars, moved faster under the stimulation of Zhen Fu.

Compared with the role played by Zhen Fu, Haishuo seems mediocre.

But the next day, Hai Shuo practiced and told Liu Ke what it meant to be not to be outdone.

The sea said that he didn't sleep.

You can cut rice against the moon.

It's not just about harvesting, it's about doing anything.

Even every farmer can see a bucket of water on the edge of the field.

You know, this carrying water is not an easy job, and many farmers will even add their fists and feet because they earn a bucket of water.

Although under the leadership of Hai Shuo and Zhen Fu, the autumn harvest in the village was soon over.

The efficiency is simply terrible.

But Liu Ke was really stunned.

Hai Shuo and Zhen Fu are actually good.

But now it seems that both men are a bit extreme.

Hai said that he had grown a person on the liver, achieved the ultimate in the liver emperor, and continued to influence and inspire everyone with his own behavior.

And Zhen Fu is really rich, he has achieved the ultimate of Krypton, and he will scatter coins when he is undecided, and Zhen has money.

It also affected everyone, in order to make Zhen Fu an official and not go home to inherit the family property, everyone worked hard.

For a while, Liu Ke didn't know who to point to be the champion.

even started to think of Lu Feng's father as the champion.

After all, Father Lu Feng was born with divine power, and he was also a humanoid animal like Dian Chu.

If you put aside the influence and don't look at the drive of other scholars, Lu Fengfu is the one with the highest work efficiency and the most tasks.

Liu Ke was not in a hurry to decide, first hung the scholars in the village, and returned to Qiongzhou City by himself.

As soon as he returned to Qiongzhou, he went to the Hanlin Academy, and because of the autumn harvest, he took the scholars to the countryside.

I didn't have a good rest for a while to look at the harem concubines.

You must know that Jiang Suzhu was already pregnant before he went to sea.

When Liu Ke was still in Luzon, he received the news of Jiang Sujiao's production.

That is, he has a son.
