It's impossible to have the same hatred or something.

Why do these scholars cling to them? It is nothing more than to find a way out.

When the time really comes for the imperial court to exclude all the scholars, what way out can they give these scholars?

At that time, as soon as the court is tempted, not to mention these non-family readers, I am afraid that even some of the scholars of the family will defect.

After all, at that time, the family was already in danger, and if there was such a good way out, who would be willing to die with the Shi clan hugging each other?

They know this very well in their hearts, and at the same time, the emperor is also very clear about this.

It's just that why the emperor doesn't do this is nothing more than fear, afraid of causing turmoil in the court and the country, so they all know each other that the scholars need the official position of the court to maintain their status.

At the same time, the emperor also needs the literati of the scholar clan to help govern the world and stabilize the world.

The scholars can seek something, but as long as it is not too excessive, the emperor will turn a blind eye, after all, compared to this thing, the stability of the court and the stability of the world are more important.

It's a tacit understanding between each other, and it's a delicate balance.

But if this tacit understanding is broken, this balance is disrupted, then things will become uncontrollable.

At that time, in order to stabilize the court situation, the emperor will inevitably pick up the butcher's knife, even if the scholars are powerful, can they compare to the thousands of troops in the court?

So when they heard Huo Jingzhi say that the gold medal was a reward from the Emperor Taishang, the scholars knew that they couldn't continue, if they continued, the Emperor Taishang would be furious, and the ghost knew if it would break this delicate balance?

They don't dare gamble.

Seeing it, they all retreated, and a smile flashed in Emperor Zhaowu's eyes.

Earlier, he was indeed a little dissatisfied with Huo Junyao getting such a gold medal, but after yesterday's incident, he found that this thing was actually beneficial.

can deter a lot of people, of course, there can only be this side, if there are more, then I am afraid that it will have to be messed up.

"Hey, Miss is back."

Hot Spring Villa, as soon as Huo Junyao appeared, the people in Zhuangzi were immediately surprised.

After so many months of getting along, these people in Zhuangzi have great respect for their third young lady.

For no other reason, this third lady is very generous, and she is also very good to the big guys, not only did she not beat and scold, but she also gave some rewards to the big guys from time to time.

In this society where servants' lives are like mustard, it is a great thing for them to meet such a generous and generous master.

"During this time, the big guys have worked hard."

"Xi Mama asked me to prepare, and I will add a meat dish to the big guys for dinner today."

Hearing this, all the slaves were overjoyed and thanked again and again.

Back in his yard, Red Sleeves and Forget Xia and Xi Mama hurriedly reported the big and small affairs of Zhuangzi during this time.

Mama Xi is in charge of the operation of Zhuangzi, but nothing happened, after all, there is such a good master, as long as he is not a second fool, he will not make trouble here.

Then there is the red sleeves to report on the business, in fact, there are not many major events, since the don't do lo-mei, there is only a vegetable business on the villa, and the daily flow of water is so little, basically there will be no mistakes.

"How much money do we have at the moment?"

Red Sleeves turned to look at Mama Xi.

"Miss Hui, there is still a little more than one hundred and ten dollars left in the village."

Huo Junyao nodded, with all this money, she didn't have to worry about what she had to do in the spring.

Then it was time to forget the summer report on the greenhouse.

After the harvest of vegetables, it is almost gone, and it is not far from the beginning of spring, but it can be slowed down first, and then planted normally after a period of time.

Then there's the corn that, after months of careful care, has come to the verge of ripeness.

It should be ready for harvest at the beginning of spring.

"Oh? Already ripe? I'll take a look. ”

Subsequently, Huo Junyao took a few people into the corn greenhouse, and at this time, the corn inside had grown more than one person tall, and there were corn cobs on each one.

Although it wasn't as strong as it had been in her previous life, it was very good to be able to grow like this in this winter.

After all, the conditions are limited, and it is great to be able to grow like this.

After checking the situation of several corn cobs in a row, Huo Junyao spoke; "Xi Mama, you take the time to let people clean up the yard at the back, transfer the furniture and everything inside, and the yard will be used as a warehouse in the future."

"When the spring comes, I'm looking at the expansion."

Mama Xi smiled and agreed.

"Miss, it seems that the pepper greenhouse is ready to be harvested."

"Oh? Go and have a look. ”

A few people came to the chili greenhouse again, and they were all red chili peppers, and Huo Junyao was very happy to see it.

Finally, I can realize the freedom of chili peppers.

"It's really time to harvest, so that all the people in the village will be gathered early tomorrow morning to harvest the peppers."

Why not pick it now, naturally she still needs to prepare something.

After all, this is still winter, although it is not as snowy from time to time as it was a year ago, but there is no good sunshine, these peppers are picked, and if you want to store them properly, you have to find a way to dry them.

Out of the greenhouse, she immediately beckoned someone to make a temporary drying room, and prepared a lot of charcoal and firewood.

The next day, early in the morning, the people in the Zhuangzi began to divide the labor to harvest and dry chili peppers.

They were curious about this thing called chili at first, but after the hot pot appeared, they understood that it was a good thing, and their own young lady loved it very much.

Therefore, when picking, they are very careful, and they specially select the red ones, and keep the green ones for the time being.

At noon that day, Huo Junyao went to the kitchen with fresh chili peppers and fried two home-cooked side dishes by himself.

The goal of improving lives has taken another big step forward.

After lunch, Huo Junyao went to the living room to drink tea, and as soon as she sat down, she suddenly remembered that in addition to farming, her villa seemed to be feeding piglets.

"By the way, what is the situation of those piglets raised last year?"

Months had passed, and it seemed that I had never cared about them, and I had not heard anything about them.

"Okay, it's very good, the method used by the young lady really didn't say, those piglets are all round now."

Xiaochan opened her mouth with a smile.

"Oh? Go and have a look. ”

Soon, Huo Junyao, under the leadership of Xiaochan and others, came to the courtyard of the former villa steward.

The piglets are being raised by the housekeeper's family, because they were just trying, and some of the original piglets had problems during castration, and they died not long after, and there are only five left alive.

Seeing Huo Junyao coming, Steward Wang hurriedly saluted respectfully, and learned that she was coming to see the piglets, so he hurriedly took her to the pigsty at the back of the yard.

"Tsk, it's really good."

The pigsty is very large, and the pigs in it are different from the common white pigs in later generations, these five are all black pigs, and they are indeed round, and each one has a hundred and twenty or thirty catties.
