905:Monarchs and Ministers Eat 'Bitter Rice'

Zhao Zhen scooped a spoonful of paste out, and then took a bite. An indescribable taste hit instantly, Zhao Zhen swallowed it with difficulty, only to feel that his mouth was full of that taste, which was extremely uncomfortable.

Qin Wei is very familiar with this taste, the taste of pigs in later generations. Wang Dong's old wife smiled dryly: "Your Majesty, the food cooked by the old man is liked by the officials and children, as for the food...... Now that there is a drought, the old body is afraid that it will not survive this year, so it will be harvested. Zhao Zhen closed his eyes, nodded and said, "It tastes good, all of you will come to taste it, and you will be allowed to come too." Lu Yijian was the first to taste it and said, "It tastes good." Pang Ji was the second, he believed that Lu Yijian would not lie in this regard, so he ate very happily, and then he was sluggish......

"Gross!" He gaged and held back, then swallowed quickly. It is difficult for people who are used to eating jade clothes and jade food to understand that kind of low-level food, Qin Wei had eaten it in the countryside in his previous life, he was not a jade food, just an ordinary person, but the smell still made him unbearable.

Pang Ji made a fool of himself, Zhao Zhen glanced at him, obviously dissatisfied with his vomiting. Fan Zhongyan swallowed it in one bite, covered his mouth directly, and then forcibly swallowed it, Lu Yijian suddenly had a new idea.

"The old woman said that her family liked the food she cooked, and the old man was thinking! Could it be that the people in her family are used to eating this kind of taste, so they think it is delicious......

"Makes sense." For the first time, everyone agreed with Lu Yijian's opinion, which made him a little proud.

"My mother's cooking is so unpalatable......"

"Don't say it's unpalatable, I'm going to be sad when I turn around, let her rest, she'll be sad, hey!"

"Well, let's wait another year, and next year I'll find a reason for my mother to rest, and we'll take turns cooking."

"Okay." Two villagers in their forties walked by from the side, and the voice floated over, Lu Yijian's eyes were frozen, isn't the old man making himself amorous?

Fan Zhongyan praised: "In order to make my mother happy, I said against my will that the food she cooked was delicious, this is filial piety!" ”

"......" Pang Ji glanced at him, thinking that Lu Yijian was sad, you still mentioned this matter. But Zhao Zhen still gulped down, he was not the emperor who came out of the sweet jar, and he didn't have a few days of peace since he was a child.

Zhao Zhen took another bite, got up and said: "All work, today is a good life to experience the life of the people, and I don't have to say anything about not eating minced meat." So everyone from Zaisuke to the guards went down.

"Segmentation!" Pang Shiying watched from the side for a long time, and felt that the chaos was not organized, so he said angrily: "How do you work with a swarm of bees?" All come up, redistribute manpower, and dig in sections. Zhao Zhen raised his head in the ditch and asked, "It's Pang Shiying, the son of the Pang Xiang family, right?" ”

"Yes." Xu Mao was also in the ditch, where had he done such a drudgery, he was already sweating profusely. Zhao Zhen praised: "It's a good person, well, listen to him." So Pang Shiying, a teenager, began to direct this group of complex laborers to work.

"Each of them is optimistic, when digging, you must listen to the instructions of the old farmer, don't think that you are who you are, you can't compare to others if you work for another ten years." Pang Shiying took the opportunity to attack after seeing an official scolding the old farmer, in his opinion, this group of guys should be left here to do farm work for half a year and then go back, to ensure that there is nothing wrong.

"The army is coming." The army appeared densely in the distance, and Wang Dong stood on the top of the ditch and watched blankly.

"This ...... How many canals can this dig? I'm afraid I can dig it into the palace. ”…… Digging a ditch is a science, Zhao Zhen doesn't understand it, and Zai Fu doesn't understand it either.

Pang Shiying looked at the route with a telescope on it, rode over to survey the terrain, and came back and said: "It's a little crooked, but it's not a big problem." He then drew a sketch, separated by sections, and had people mark them along the way with lime, all the way to the edge of the Bianhe River.

"There's someone over there." A group of peasants came and said with a sad face: "This ditch has passed through the villain's field, what should the villain do?" "If there is no His Majesty and the others, they will come here to find trouble.

Zhao Zhen straightened up from the ditch and said, "How much is occupied, the government will give money." Lu Yijian's cheeks trembled, knowing that His Majesty had created another rule.

In the past, such things were negotiated by the people themselves, but now that His Majesty has come to such a thing, there will be such things in the future, and the government will have to come forward.

The magistrates don't like to do a lot of things, so I think it's a tossing policy. However, tossing the magistrate made Lu Yijian feel good, he hated to carry a small leather whip and stare at the officials in the world every day.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The people knelt down to thank him, and Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "No courtesy." "He is the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven has a golden mouth, and the exit must be counted.

But it's a trifle, right? Zhao Zhen felt that it was a trivial matter, and when he saw the people rejoicing, he couldn't help but feel happy, so he stretched out his hand, and the people above quickly pulled him up.

Those people went back in twos and threes, and Zhao Zhen looked at the many sergeants digging ditches in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a little heroic.

"The Great Song Dynasty has such a mighty momentum, and what Liao people are afraid of."

"yes!" Lu Yijian took the opportunity to get mixed up, leaving Pang Ji and Lu Yijian who were working, and he took the opportunity to be lazy in the name of accompanying His Majesty.

The two old peasants in front of them were walking slowly and whispering, but Zhao Zhen was not far behind them......

"This money should come out of Chenbu Village, the canal passes through our village, we can also get some cheap, and the ground is well watered, so we should also get some. But His Majesty is generous, and let the government give it to him at once, good man! ”

"That ......" the other old farmer hesitated for a moment and asked, "Why do you think Your Majesty looks a little stupid?" Lu Yijian turned around, covered her mouth and tried to smile.

Zhao Zhen stood there and didn't know what to think, he wanted to go and see the situation by the Bianhe River, but suddenly turned around.

"Let's go, let's get to work." Lu Yijian's smile was still on his face, and he was seen by Zhao Zhen.

"Today, you and I will finish digging this section." Zhao Zhen got down the pit, found a towel to wrap his hands, and then began to work, after digging a few times, he looked up and said in amazement: "Why didn't Lu Qing come down?" ”

"Oh!" Lu Yijian made an observation command on it, but he didn't want to go down to work. This time, Zhao Zhen personally opened his mouth to invite him, and he had no choice but to bend down from the gentle slope and walk down slowly.

Xu Mao handed over a hoe and said with a smile: "Lu Xianggong is slow." Lu Yijian took the hoe and swung it vigorously.

Syllable! Zhao Zhen raised his head, and everyone looked up in unison. Lu Yijian took the broken hoe handle and said regretfully: "Why is this broken?" Before he could exert any effort, it was broken. Pang Ji remembered that Lu Yijian slapped the case, and couldn't help but shrink his neck, feeling that it was really a wise decision that he didn't fight with Lu Yijian.

The corners of Zhao Zhen's mouth twitched, and he said, "Lu Qing's strength is infinite, but there is a more solid one?" ”

"Yes." Pang Shiying happened to pass by and shouted: "Two hoes from the steel mill!" Zhao Yunrang said on the side: "Your Majesty, the hoe of the steel mill is made of stainless steel, which is indestructible, and its handles are all reinforced." Lu Yijian took the heavier hoe and was dumbfounded.

The old man really can't do it! He can't be fat, and the fat on his body is trembling as soon as he goes down with a hoe, but His Majesty is digging, are you Lu Yi a little more noble?

Lu Yijian held the hoe, and the fat on his body trembled, making Zhao Yunrang feel a little sympathetic.

"This is a sin you did, right?" He asked Qin Wei in a low voice.

"It's none of that!" Qin Wei felt that he was very wronged: "Lu Xiang asked me about those nutritious meals for the prince before, but he will eat too much and have excess nutrition...... The two pondered for a while, and then went to the Bianhe River.

"The whole Bianliang is moving." Zhao Yunrang looked at the crowded scenes, and said excitedly: "This kind of scene is the unity of all people, how can any difficulty stump us?" "There is prosperity and poverty in the Great Song Dynasty.

Prosperity and poverty are like two poles, which seem to be close to each other, but they have never been close. It's like opposing magnetic fields, repelling each other.

"You...... How can we all be united? Zhao Yunrang sat on the ground, looked at the upper reaches of the Bianhe River, and said: "The biggest problem in the Great Song Dynasty is how to fill the stomachs of those poor people, make them warm, and let them study...... If you know etiquette and etiquette, you will know honor and disgrace if you have enough food and clothing, and then you will be able to read later, then you will be able to understand reason, and you will be able to know what this world is like......" The blood blisters in his palms were pierced, and he was ointment, but it was very painful.

"I don't know etiquette, I don't know honor and disgrace, so how do they know what Da Song is?" Zhao Yunrang obviously had a headache with this question: "In the hearts of the people, what is the Great Song Dynasty?" ”

"It's a place to pretend to be yourself, and it's a place to protect yourself." Qin Wei's answer was cruel.

At this time, the national consciousness was not strong, and those Han people in the Yanyun area were integrated into the Liao State, which is a living example.

"It's that simple!" Zhao Yunrang was a little disappointed: "You have been down, so I believe you." "Brother is not just down, brother has been down for a long time, it's okay, it's just not in this era.

"So......" he thought for a moment, "to make them feel safe and secure...... And then it's to make them like this big song. But how can we make them like this big song? ”

"The Song Dynasty continues to win victories to the outside world, this is a thing worth promoting, so that the people continue to feel proud and proud, and the second is to let them eat and eat, have clothes to wear...... "There are clothes to wear, this requirement is very funny in the eyes of later generations, but at this time it is very realistic, those people can't afford to buy clothes, and it is not uncommon for a family to only have a pair of pants, who goes out and wears it."

The women were working half-naked not because they were shameless, but because they were afraid that their sweat would corrode their clothes and that they would not have the money to buy them.
