"Hmm!"

Guo An nodded slightly, and then stopped talking.

Zhu Fu waited for a long time, and found that Guo An was actually closing his eyes to recuperate, and couldn't help but be angry, "Why didn't Guo Changshi speak?" ”

"His Highness is still keeping this matter a secret, and he doesn't want too many people to know." Guo Andao.

Zhu Fuqi blew his beard and glared, "The old man is the chief of the Yanwang Mansion, how can he be an outsider?" ”

"I didn't say you were an outsider!"

Guo An still looked indifferent, "Otherwise, His Highness will not allow you to go to the farm."

When you get to the farm, you'll know! ”

"Guo Thief ......"

Anyway, no matter how Zhu Fu asked, Guo An just kept silent.

Even if Zhu Fu scolded Guo Thief, Guo An just laughed at each other, not annoyed at all, and had the demeanor of a dog thief.

Zhu Fu was angry, but there was nothing he could do.

On the carriage in front, Zhu Biao was amazed by the cement road along the way.

Wait until everyone arrives at the farm.

Around the farm, it has long been heavily guarded, and 2,000 Yan Shanwei, who are in sharp armor, supervise the farm for twenty miles.

Ding Shang, Guo Bingyong, Guo Zhi and others stood at the gate of the farm and waited.

"The villain greets His Royal Highness the Prince, see His Royal Highness King Yan!"

"Everyone, get up!"

Ding Shang, Guo Bingyong, Guo Zhi and others all hurriedly got up and looked at Zhu Biao with excitement on their faces.

The one in front of them, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty, His Majesty the future Emperor, was going to come to personally inspect their farm and the rice they planted at this time.

A sense of pride in my heart!

It's a pity that Zhu Biao was already impatient, and he didn't care about talking to Ding Shang, Guo Bingyong, Guo Zhi and others, so he went straight inside.

Behind him, Zhu Di, Guo An and others hurriedly followed.

Soon, they came to the hundred acres of rice.

Looking at the huge and full rice ears in front of him, Zhu Biao's face was suddenly full of excitement.

At the same time, Cao Zhen, Li Jinglong and others also recognized the difference between the large area of rice in front of them and the surrounding rice.

Zhu Fu stood in front of the piece of rice in a daze, and looked at it seriously for a long time. Then, he ran to the ordinary rice next door and looked at it for a long time......

After that, they simply stand in the middle of two different rice fields.

Look left, look right......

After a while, he ran to Guo An again, and asked excitedly: "Guo Changshi, has Liangdao succeeded?" ”

It seems that the person who just scolded Guo Thief all the way is not him!

"Sort of!"

Guo An replied lightly.

Zhu Fu didn't mind Guo An's tone at all, and continued to ask: "Guo Changshi, how much rice can these good rice yields per mu?" ”

Guo An said: "I forgot." ”

Zhu Fu's eyes widened directly: "......"

Of course, Zhu Biao's expression was not much better.

However, Zhu Biao didn't run back and forth, just looked around the good rice, and walked to the ordinary rice field on the side to look at it for a while.

Finally, he walked to Zhu Di's side with an excited face.

"Fourth, you have done a great thing for my Ming people! Just this 100 acres of rice is a great achievement.

In the future, I don't know how many people can eat enough because of your 100 acres of rice!

I don't know how many people can not starve to death because of this 100 acres of good rice......

These good rice are the foundation of my Ming Dynasty and the cornerstone of the society......"

Zhu Di looked indifferent, "What the eldest brother said is very true, as long as Guo Bingyong and Guo Zhi are allowed to study for a few more years, maybe the yield of these good rice can be increased even more!" ”

"How much more can it be improved?"

Zhu Biao was stunned, and then asked with surprise on his face.

Zhu Di replied helplessly, "Big brother, studying these good rice is a long and meticulous work, as for how many years of research it needs to be carried out, and how much it can be improved, I'm afraid no one dares to guarantee it." ”

Hearing this, Guo An on the side breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, Zhu Di still listened to his words and did not exaggerate his words.

Zhu Biao nodded slightly, and then couldn't help but look at the boundless rice field in the distance, "Fourth, can these rice grains be harvested?" ”

Zhu Di said: "These paddy fields are ripe and ready for harvesting these days. If Big Brother doesn't come again, I'll let the farm pawns and guards start harvesting! ”

Zhu Biao's eyes lit up, "In this way, then we will call someone to harvest now, let's see with our own eyes, such a huge amount of rice, how much can be produced per mu, let's go back and tell my father about it!" ”

"Listen to Big Brother!"

Zhu Di ordered Tang Yun, Ding Shang and the others on the side: "Quickly arrange people to harvest rice!"

The good rice and the ordinary rice on the side are also harvested together! ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Ding Shang and Tang Yun hurriedly responded.

Immediately, it was quickly arranged.

Hundreds of veterans and soldiers, armed with scythes, began to harvest the rice.

Every soldier and veteran is very hardworking.

Not only did Zhu Biao want to know how much rice could be produced per mu, but they, the veterans and generals, wanted to know how much rice the remaining good rice could produce.

If it is the same as the acre a few days ago, it is enough to prove that they have not worked hard in vain in the past two years.

"Big brother, it will take a long time to finish harvesting these paddies, so I'll go inside and rest for a while!"

After looking at it for a while, he noticed that beads of sweat were bubbling out of Zhu Biao's forehead on the side, and Zhu Di's brows furrowed slightly, a little distressed.

"No!"

This time, Zhu Biao was very stubborn, "So many veterans and generals are harvesting rice, presumably we will soon be able to harvest an acre of good rice, let's see with our own eyes, how much can be harvested from this acre of good rice!" ”

"But Big Brother ......"

As soon as Zhu Di said a word, Zhu Biao looked directly at him.

"Alas!"

Zhu Di could only sigh helplessly, he knew that his eldest brother's temperament had become stubborn, and he couldn't persuade him!

Thinking about it, Zhu Di called Ding Shang over.

"Let a few old soldiers take out the rice bed and cut the rice while cutting the rice!

Let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince see with his own eyes how many catties of rice can be harvested from one mu of good rice! ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Ding Shang hurriedly responded, he is familiar with this matter!

Soon, the old soldiers began to cut the rice separately.

At the same time, there are more than a dozen old soldiers, who directly took out the cut rice, and beat the rice in front of Zhu Biao to beat the grains.

Less than a moment.

One acre of good rice and one acre of ordinary rice were harvested.

"Your Highness, this mu of grain and rice is four hundred and forty-five catties...... That one acre of ordinary rice is 370 catties! ”

In fact, there is no need for Ding Shangyu to report, Zhu Biao, Zhu Di and others have already known the numbers from their calculations.

"Seventy-five pounds more!"

Rao was already mentally prepared, but when he heard this number, Zhu Biao still couldn't help but look excited.

Zhu Di nodded slightly and said: "It's the same as last time, it's still two percent more!" ”

On the side, Li Jinglong and Cao Zhen, as well as several East Palace officials who came with Zhu Biao, were also wide-eyed and full of surprise.

They had never heard of 445 catties of good rice per mu, and they didn't even dare to think about it.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Zhu Biao remembered something, and looked at Li Jinglong, Cao Zhen and others on the side, "Let's remember, the rice yield reported by Suzhou Mansion and Jiujiang Mansion is up to 360 catties, right?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, the rice yield in Suzhou Mansion is the best, three hundred and sixty catties!" Li Jinglong replied.

Zhu Biao nodded slightly, this time, he looked directly at Guo Bingyong, Guo Zhi, Guo Changchen, and Guo Shanyuan outside the crowd, and his eyes were full of appreciation.

"As early as when we were in Beijing, we heard the names of four peasant talents. As a scholar, I was able to devote myself to the farm for two years, worked tirelessly, patiently studied and planted rice, and was able to study such great achievements, my father and we were even pleased! ”

Guo Bingyong, Guo Zhi, Guo Changchen, and Guo Shanyuan suddenly looked excited, "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you Your Highness for your praise, the villain and the others are just a scholar without any fame, and they can make some merits with the books they read, and it is not in vain that the villain and others come to the world in vain!" ”

"Very good!"

Zhu Biao was even more satisfied, "You are not greedy for wealth, fame, fortune and power, such a virtuous scholar, I am not very bright!" ”

Guo Bingyong, Guo Zhi, Guo Changchen, and Guo Shanyuan trembled with excitement. They never thought that one day, they would be known by Emperor Ming, and they would be praised by Zhu Biao, the prince of the Ming Dynasty, in front of what a person.

Die without regrets!

And Zhu Biao's next words made Guo Bingyong, Guo Zhi, Guo Changchen, and Guo Shanyuan look at each other with round eyes and excitement.

"You have made such great achievements for my Ming Dynasty and benefited all the people in the world, and my father specially wants us to reward you......

In this way, we will award four of them as Zhengba Pindi Gonglang, and each of them will be rewarded with 1,000 treasure money, and I hope that you can continue to study this kind of good rice with all your heart in the future.

In the future, if you want to enter the imperial court and govern the world for my Ming Dynasty, we will personally give you a real position! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness the Prince!"

Guo Bingyong, Guo Zhi, Guo Changchen, and Guo Shanyuan knelt down directly, their faces flushed with excitement.

Zhengbapin Di Gonglang, although he is only an official with an official name and no ministry, is also an official of the Ming court, and he can be led every year.

Moreover, there is no fixed duty to work out.

This kind of official position, many gentry want, but they have no chance in their lifetime.

Moreover, this is still awarded by the prince himself to the four of them, and they can be regarded as the prince's people!

Zhu Biao nodded slightly, "Everyone, please hurry up, I need such talents like you!" ”

On the side, Zhu Di persuaded again: "Big brother, since it has been cut out, let's go in and rest for a while!" ”

"Good!"

This time, Zhu Biao did not refuse again.

At the same time, while walking with Zhu Di, he also said: "Fourth, this good rice is the foundation of my Ming Dynasty, where thousands of people live, no matter how many years you need to study, you must stick to it!"

If your Beiping Mansion is not suitable for studying rice, I can make the decision, near Jingshi, or Jiujiang Mansion and Suzhou Mansion, give you 100 acres of land in Yanwang Mansion, and let Guo Bingyong, Guo Zhi and others go to study! ”

Zhu Di hurriedly said: "Big brother, don't worry, Beiping Mansion can be studied, and I will definitely not interrupt the research on good rice......

Zhu Biao was a little relieved and nodded slightly.

Wait until you enter a large house and rest for a while.

Zhu Biao looked directly at Guo An.

"I heard that the method of studying such good rice is what Guo Changshi thought?"

Guo An hurriedly replied: "Your Highness is wise, but Weichen just made a suggestion, as for the follow-up labor, it is all Guo Bingyong and Guo Zhi's four clan brothers who are studying and working hard!" ”

"We also know about this!"

Zhu Biao nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Despite this, Guo Changshi also has great merit, I don't know what kind of reward Guo Changshi wants?" ”

Guo An replied respectfully: "Thank you for your Royal Highness's attention, but this time, His Royal Highness King Yan has given Wechen enough rewards, and Wechen doesn't dare to be greedy anymore!" ”
