Chapter 301: Visiting the Door
After Zhu Song went out, he took dozens of guards to leave Yingtian City as soon as the gate of Yingtian City was opened in the early morning, and went straight to the land that he rented a few days ago.
This land is so fertile, but it is overgrown with weeds, it is because this land has not been planted at all, and the owner of this land is a lazy man, who has been lazy all his life, and it is all up to his daughter-in-law to take care of this land.
Before the daughter-in-law died, she divided the seeds in the family and kept them for the lazy man to cultivate again in the coming year, but the lazy man was so lazy that even if the daughter-in-law divided the seeds he gave him before she died, he was unwilling to go into the field to cultivate.
After eating those seeds, he looked like he was going to starve to death, and this matter was known by Jin Yiwei, who also found this wasteland by touching the vine, and looked at the land was quite fertile, so he contacted this lazy man, and paid the lazy man ten years of land rent at one time, the price was very fair, and even this price could be said to be twice as high as the price of most of the land rent in the Ming Dynasty.
These acres of land have been rented for ten years, although even if the rent is doubled, it is only seventy or eighty taels, but the lazy man is already more than sixty taels, just these seventy or eighty taels, can he spend them when he is alive or two.
Zhu Song jumped off the horse, looked at the overgrown wasteland, squatted down and reached out to grab a handful of soil, the land is indeed a good land, but it is a pity that this land is overgrown with grass, but it is okay, but it has not been planted for a year or so, but this land has not been left abandoned.
"It's really an eye-opener for this king, such a good land is not planted, I don't know how many people envy such a piece of land, it's really a good life."
Chen Zheng laughed after hearing this: "Your Highness, when this lazy man was found by our people, he was already starving to death, let alone talking about farming or not, everything that could be eaten in the house was eaten by him, and he didn't go to the courtyard to take a step outside." ”
Zhu Song shook his head, and suddenly he remembered one more thing, pointing to the land.
"You found this land, and you didn't say that you were looking for someone to clean it up and turn it over?"
Chen Zheng was stunned after hearing this: "Your Highness, the main thing is that we don't know what kind of land Your Highness's corn seeds need, if you turn over all this grass, in addition to His Highness's dissatisfaction at that time, won't you have to find it." ”
"Your Highness, rest assured, the people who are responsible for protecting Your Highness today are all children from this countryside, and they are good at farm work!"
After Chen Zheng finished saying hello, the guards began to turn up the ground, the farm tools had already been prepared, and even borrowed a cow from the village, of course, not for nothing, and gave a bucket of rice.
Zhu Song watched them squirm there, and his hands were a little itchy for a while, so he took off his expensive robe outside, pinned the clothes inside into the waistband of his trousers, picked up the hoe and began to turn over the ground.
If you want to say that it is still Zhu Yuanzhang's son, unique and unique, many villagers came to watch that day, and the brocade guards of the imperial court actually went to the ground to farm in person, which is too worth seeing.
Zhu Song turned over the ground, and it was already three poles in the sun, picked up the precious corn, planted it in the ground, buried the soil, and watered it.
"Send people to take turns to look at this land, this land is more important than the life of this king, and there is no room for mistakes!"
After these guards were calmed down, His Highness said that the governor was too heavy, and this place was more important than His Highness's life, so he had to protect this land as well as His Highness.
There are 20 people in charge of guarding this acre of land, and 10 people are in a shift, taking turns to fall, and simple tents are set up around the land.
Zhu Song finished planting the corn and patted the soil on his hands, and Chen Zheng took the kettle to pour water for His Highness to wash his hands.
"Your Highness, there is something unclear about the humble position, why doesn't Your Highness put these corns in the field of the palace?"
Zhu Song said while washing his hands: "Put it in the palace and plant, then who can see these lush corns?" ”
"You don't know those officials and men in our court, they are the most pedantic and conservative, this corn seems to be harmless to humans and animals, and there is a lot of food that grows when planted, so the people in this world don't have to starve, if a civil official finds such a good thing, they will definitely support it, but this king is a prince or the commander of Jinyiwei."
"Didn't the palace release the news? said that the emperor intends to set up another Dongji factory to supervise Jinyiwei, this matter is definitely not seen by any eunuch in charge of affairs in the palace, this must be the emperor's intention, so he wants to tell those officials and gentlemen that King Han's position is not as strong as you think, and you can fight with him. ”
"This king doesn't care about the great truth they read in books, what saints say about the way of saints, this king only cares about whether this acre and three points of land can make the people of the world have enough to eat,"
"Clean up, let's prepare to go back to Beijing, haven't they been giving the king a fold, most of the officials of the six ministries are also in a state of watching the show, and the king has to find a few capable helpers, he has to cultivate his own power in the court, so that he can fight with them and share the emperor's worries!"
After Zhu Song gave the order, he put on his clothes again, rode on his horse and walked first, and when he returned to Beijing, he began to go through the relationship.
Those officials in the court are not very ventilated with Zhu Song, even if Zhu Song visits them in person, they can fool and fool, and they will definitely not be with Zhu Song.
Therefore, Zhu Song's main target is still those imperial relatives and heroes, and of course the imperial relatives and relatives cannot go to the three princes, but to find the sons-in-law of Emperor Yongle, that is, those concubines.
And the heroes naturally can't find the first few in line, Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng, Zhang Wu are Zhu Di's right-hand men, Zhu Song wants them to stand on the same line with himself, even if it is to take them to earn silver, they will not agree, to put it bluntly, these people are martial artists, and they are loyal to Zhu Di, they can't see through Zhu Song's true intentions at all, and they will definitely think that Zhu Song is harming the interests of the court.
So that day, Zhu Song was like a chicken blood, planting the land in the morning and frantically visiting the door after noon, until night fell, Zhu Song returned home leisurely.
Zhu Song found Princess Yong'an Zhu Yuying's concubine Guangping Hou Yuan Rong, and found Yongping Princess Zhu Yuegui's concubine Fuyang Hou Li Rang.
found these two horses, Zhu Song lured each other with profit, and the two horses naturally couldn't resist the temptation and stood on Zhu Song's side, and then the remaining horses didn't need Zhu Song to visit them one by one, after all, they were elders, so they were handed over to these two horses.
