Chapter 1473: Harvest
Along the way, I had dry mouth and the price of chrysanthemum tea here is twice as expensive as elsewhere. Although I was unhappy when I paid, when the tea was under, a coolness suddenly came into my heart. Jiang Wen still sighed and felt happy.
"One more drink."
…………
There were even more crowds of people inside, with dozens of commercial streets, and crowds were like a tide. In the middle was a huge square. In the square was a statue of Zhu Houzhao, who was riding a horse and running under the rising sun, full of youth.
Zhu Houzhao was most satisfied with this statue. This was a work completed after the Franchise prisoners were almost broken and after several modifications.
In this square, people have begun to prepare dry firewood and for the bonfire at night.
A jar of winery has begun to transport jars of wine from the wine shop not far away.
The fragrance of distilled liquor floats in the square.
Jiang Wen smelled the fragrance of wine, curled his lips, and couldn't help complaining to Zhou again: "Look, look, they are so wasteful of food. Alas, it's so extravagant. This made me smell the fragrance of King Zhou of Shang, the wine pool and meat forest, but I knew that the wine and meat were the worst food to slaughter. Who knew that every grain of food on the plate was hard, and good food was good..."
However, Zhou had already rushed to the gouache shop not far away.
Jiang Wen stood alone in the square, watching the abortions.
People are full of novelty and smiles, and what they leave to him alone is loneliness...
…………
The military farm guards are already busy.
At this time, Zhu Houzhao had already led a team of people to the experimental field with the best harvest this time.
In this test field, the rice ears were golden.
This is the best place to harvest after being predicted.
It has spent countless efforts and countless manpower and material resources.
What Zhu Houzhao got was a pile of records, and these data were the most valuable.
The lieutenants have blocked the place.
Only when it is auspicious, people are allowed to approach and observe the harvest.
However, just by looking at it, the harvest is already very gratifying.
Zhu Houzhao was looking at the data with his head down at this time, focusing on what kind of soil, how much irrigation is per day, what seeds are used, how much fertilizer is applied, these data... are of great importance, after all, this is related to the issue of promoting these experiences.
Fang Jifan stood aside. The weather was scorching. Wang Jinyuan held up an umbrella for Fang Jifan. Wang Jinyuan praised: "Young Master, you can harvest a lot of this grain. If there are five or six hundred kilograms, the young master will make great contributions."
Under the scorching sun, Fang Jifan only squinted his eyes and thought about his thoughts.
In fact, five or six hundred kilograms... This is indeed a huge number.
You should know that the highest current rice yield is only 300 kilograms.
Of course, the unit of measurement of the Ming Dynasty was the city kilogram.
At this moment, not far away, someone came hurriedly and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty...Your Majesty is here... The news from the palace is that Your Majesty has arrived from the palace and will arrive soon."
Fang Jifan was stunned. He didn't want to report the matter to the emperor now, but the noise was still big this time, and it was natural for His Majesty to know.
When Fang Jifan heard His Majesty coming, he immediately cheered up: "What are you still standing there? Welcome the car, you all stay here, I'll go welcome the car."
…………
Emperor Hongzhi came to the West Mountain with curiosity. Wherever he saw, there were scenes of crowds of people, and he couldn't help but talk.
As the road was too many people, Xiao Jing did not dare to let Emperor Hongzhi get off the car, but the carriage and horses were surrounded by crowds, walking slowly through the endless crowd.
When he arrived at the ticket office, Xiao Jing first stepped forward and said to the ticket seller: "The noble man is sitting in the car. Hurry up and open the middle door and let the noble man come in first."
The person at the ticket office looked up and down at Xiao Jing, looking at Xiao Jing like a fool: "In this Xishan, there are no nobles. Everyone comes in with tickets. One ticket costs 100 yuan, and a single son cannot be missed. This is the rule of Xishan. I am here, and the same is true for the King of Heaven."
Xiao Jing's nose was crooked, and he was so brave. He pointed at the ticket seller and said angrily: "You...you...you...you are so brave."
The ticket seller looked cold and looked cold.
When Xiao Jing thought that this was Xishan, he didn't immediately become angry and gritted his teeth and said, "You wait."
After saying that, he turned around, trotted to the car and got into the car.
Emperor Hongzhi was sitting in the car and was bored. Seeing that the car had been parked for a long time and still not leaving, he said, "What's wrong, why are you still delaying here?"
Xiao Jing said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, they must buy tickets, and they also said that this is Xishan. When the King of Heaven comes, I want to buy tickets. Your Majesty..., tell me, where did he get the courage of such a disciple..."
After hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi frowned at first, but suddenly burst into laughter.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Xiao Jing looked at Emperor Hongzhi carefully, but looked worried: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, you..."
Emperor Hongzhi glared at him: "When did I get angry? You stupid guy, do you think I am angry? Fang Jifan is my Zhou Yafu. When I came to Xishan, I was like the Emperor of Han came to Xiliu Camp. In this Xishan, I have a lot of shares. Since I was selling tickets, look at how lively it is. If this Heavenly King comes today and wants to enter without tickets, and there will be another Heavenly King coming tomorrow, wouldn't it also be free? If you enter here, you have to pay the bank. This is the rule. If anyone breaks this rule, it will be impossible to get along with me. Jifan can treat him equally. This is very good. Only a ticket seller dares to say such things will I feel at ease. Otherwise, Fang Jifan uses them as favors and friends in the West, which will make me worry. Just this article, a glimpse of the leopard in the leopard will make me feel at ease."
Xiao Jing: “…”
Well, he said in his heart that he was speechless, and Fang Jifan won again.
At this time, Emperor Hongzhi glared at Xiao Jing again: "What are you doing here? Why don't you go buy tickets?"
"Yes." Xiao Jing did not dare to have any objection anymore and hurriedly said, "I obey the order."
The son-in-law is the son-in-law. Xiao Jing sighed in his heart that everything is right, no matter how you are like us, nothing is right.
After buying the entrance ticket, the car drove into the west mountain. When he arrived at the square, Fang Jifan hurried over and boarded the car to see the car himself.
Emperor Hongzhi leaned halfway in the car and said directly: "I came today. I heard that there is a harvest festival. What is the name of this harvest festival? It's quite lively here..."
Speaking of this, I saw the sound of bells coming from the bell tower in the distance.
Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty, the auspicious time is coming, hurry up and go to the test field."
Auspicious time...test field...
Emperor Hongzhi was stunned.
At this time, it seemed that because of the sound of the bell, many tourists headed towards the test field.
Emperor Hongzhi's carriage approached the test field, and then... got off the car and saw a crowd of people surging outside.
Emperor Hongzhi saw many fields along the way, and the scene of a bumper harvest.
I have to say that Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help feeling relaxed and happy when he looked at the golden scene.
Liu Jian and the other two couldn't help but chase after him.
"Your Majesty, look, the harvest of this rice is really quite large."
Emperor Hongzhi smiled and nodded, glanced at Fang Jifan: "Jifan, is this what you planted?"
Fang Jifan took an oil umbrella, then pushed Xiao Jing away without hesitation, held an umbrella for Emperor Hongzhi, and said, "Your Majesty, this is the head of the Crown Prince himself, and the son minister is the deputy, and has joined forces with the military farming institute and the research institute. Please move, we are about to start harvesting."
Emperor Hongzhi smiled and kept nodding.
Others are not optimistic about the prince's crop, especially many ministers and scholars, who think that this is not doing their job properly, but Emperor Hongzhi has no objection to this.
People have to eat food, can’t their own son grow food?
Emperor Hongzhi said: "Those scholars all day long say that food is the foundation, and they also write poems to compassion farmers. Who knows that every grain of food on the plate is hard. They know that it is hard, but never farm. The prince himself farms, so they are so dissatisfied. What's the use of compassion farmers?"
This sentence means something, and it is clearly said to Liu Jian and others, a group of ministers with low expectations.
These ministers who followed him were mixed feelings, but no one refuted.
Today is different from the past. Now I talk more now, and I may not be sure that I will throw away all the bones and tie them up tomorrow.
Emperor Hongzhi said enthusiastically: "The yield in this rice field is probably quite large. Oh, how many kilograms of grain could be planted in the past rice fields?"
Emperor Hongzhi asked about the Hanlin who followed him.
The Hanlin, who was accompanying him, immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, three hundred pounds."
"Three hundred kilograms..." Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "Three hundred kilograms are not small. If a family planted ten acres of land, it would be three thousand kilograms. Not only can the family eat enough, but there is still surplus."
Emperor Hongzhi continued to move along the ridge of the field.
After a while, I met Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao became obviously dark and thinner.
Now he is commanding, staring at a stick of incense.
When I saw Emperor Hongzhi, I just took a look, and then my eyes were staring at the incense again.
When the fragrance slowly burned to a scale, Zhu Houzhao danced all over and shouted loudly: "Start harvest, harvest! Come on, prepare to weigh it."
With a command, the military guards who had already prepared their sickles were immediately excited, immediately rolled up their trousers, stepped into the experimental field, and began to wave the sickles.
Zhu Houzhao crossed her hands, but her eyes were also staring at the golden area, her face became solemn, and her whole body was so nervous that she was about to tremble.
Emperor Hongzhi did not blame Zhu Houzhao for his rudeness, but began to focus on this acre of land, and his curiosity became stronger.
This acre of land is obviously denser and heavier than the rice ears in other places, densely packed, and obviously different.
Chapter completed!
