Chapter 134 Spring Ploughing (Happy New Year!)
"Little real person, plant 50 acres of sweet potatoes?"
After hearing this, Master Yang quickly looked up and looked at Zhu Zi'an in surprise.
On Wudang Mountain, just planting ten acres of sweet potatoes is enough to be eaten in Wudang for a year.
Now, we actually plant fifty acres of sweet potatoes directly!
"Yes, it's fifty acres!"
Zhu Zi'an said, "It's a pity that there are only 100 acres of fertile land, and only 50 acres of sweet potatoes can be given."
Want more to plant?
Yang Shifan couldn't help but have a crazy guess in his mind. Xiao Zhenren shouldn't have it, he's going to cause trouble again!
Zhu Zi'an lowered his head, thought for a moment, and continued: "The remaining fifty acres of fertile land, plant thirty acres of rice and twenty acres of vegetables!"
“Grow twenty acres of vegetables?”
Yang Shifan couldn't help but raise his head again and looked at Zhu Zi'an with a look of surprise.
"Yes, plant twenty acres of vegetables!"
Zhu Zi'an replied.
"this……"
Yang Shifan looked entangled for a moment, then nodded heavily.
In Yang Shifan's opinion, this is the first time that Xiao Zhenren has so much fertile land, and he doesn't know how to make trouble.
However, those 100 acres of fertile land are all Zhu Zi'an's private fertile land. Zhu Zi'an can only plant whatever he wants!
"Master Yang, can there be tenant farmers now planting which 100 acres of fertile land?"
Thinking of the most important question, Zhu Zi'an hurriedly asked.
"When I go back to Xiaozhen, there are many farmers who want to rent your land, and the villain has selected five households for you. One of them is the original old tenant farmer; the two are two old tenant farmers in the small farm next door, and two old farmers in Changtou Village!"
Yang Shifan replied quickly.
"What is the farming level of these tenant farmers? Which households are closest to the field?" Zhu Zi'an said again.
"Go back to Xiao Zhenren, the two old tenant farmers in Xiaotianzhuang next door!" Yang Shifan said.
"Um!"
Suddenly, thinking of something, Zhu Zi'an asked, "Didn't the tenant farmers in the prince's village want to plant my field?"
"Return to Xiao Zhenren, although the tenant farmers in the Prince's Village do not say it, they all want to cultivate your fields, but because of the Prince's side..."
Yang Shifan hesitated and whispered.
"It's okay, then find the tenant farmers in the prince's village!"
Zhu Zi'an said directly.
"As for the prince's side, I'll just go and say hello to the prince!"
"yes!"
Yang Shifan said quickly.
Yang Shifan also knew the relationship between Zhu Zi'an and the prince clearly.
Moreover, there are dozens of tenant farmers in the village of His Royal Highness, but there are only some land. As long as the little real person goes, His Royal Highness will definitely agree.
Spring plowing is a major event.
Every time during spring farming, no matter how lazy the landlord is, he will go to the land himself to cultivate his own land to pray for a good harvest of the fields!
According to Yang Shifan's news, the prince would stay in Zhuangzi for a few days.
So Zhu Zi'an took Yang Shifan directly to the outside of the city.
"Um?"
However, when Zhu Zi'an reached the farm, he saw that there were more crowds next to his farmland than when he had just built a glass greenhouse!
Even some yamen runners and officials can be seen.
"Master Yang, what are they doing?"
Zhu Zian asked curiously.
It depends on the situation, what activities should be held. However, the only large-scale event that the government has been hosting recently is the only one who can beat Chunniu, and a long time has passed.
"Go back to Xiao Zhenren, it seems that the emperor is personally ploughing!"
Yang Shifan, who was standing beside him, hurriedly said.
"The emperor personally ploughed?"
Zhu Zian was stunned, and walked forward with curiosity on his face.
However, among the crowd, only a group of officials from Yingtian Prefecture were waiting quietly.
As for the emperor, the crown prince Zhu Biao and others, they did not see any of them.
"I've seen the little real person!"
"I've met Lord Meng, Lord Jian!"
After Zhu Zi'an finished his tribute, he looked around.
Soon, I discovered that in a small piece of fertile field next to my field, there were more than a dozen old farmers standing next to the field, wearing clean clothes, and there were two very beautifully dressed oxen and a large golden plow next to it.
There are more than a dozen young-faced farmers and women around, obviously dressed in children.
On both sides of the road, there were hundreds of farmers holding various farm tools in their hands, arranged on both sides.
Extreme pomp!
"Mr. Jian, is this?"
Here, Zhu Zi'an was quite familiar with the magistrate of Yingtian Prefecture, so he asked him.
"Little real person..."
Jian Ning bowed and just opened her mouth to reply when she heard a noise.
Then, a surprise sound came.
"The Emperor is here!"
Jian Ning was energetic and looked apologetically at Zhu Zi'an, then hurriedly followed Yingtian Prefecture Prefect Meng Duan and stood aside with a solemn expression.
Seeing this, Zhu Zi'an also stood on the side of the road with Yang Shifan and others.
In less than a moment, I saw a crowd of people dressed in the shape of a god like wind, thunder, rain, land, etc. walking in front of me.
Behind it was Zhu Yuanzhang, led the crown princes Zhu Biao, Li Shanchang, Tang He, Song Lian, Yang Siyi, Shan Anren, etc. and hundreds of court officials came over in a mighty manner.
"Welcome to the Emperor!"
"Welcome to the Emperor..."
"Everyone please get up quickly. Today is the time of spring plowing. As the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, we must set an example..."
After a ceremony, Zhu Yuanzhang held a yellow dragon velvet whip in his hand and then went down to the field.
The old farmer who had been waiting in the fields hurriedly helped Zhu Yuanzhang over the golden dragon plow. In front, the two old farmers who were standing in the ox immediately put the golden dragon plow on the plowing ox.
"Driving~"
With Zhu Yuanzhang's skillful shout, with the yellow dragon whip in his left hand, the plowing ox walked slowly, driving the golden dragon plow, and a deep gully plowed out of the field, revealing the moist soil inside.
"Long live the emperor!"
Seeing this, the farmers around couldn't help but shout excitedly.
And the farmers and women dressed as children began to sing hymns about harvest and too much.
Looking at Zhu Zi'an around the field, he was amazed.
Finally, Zhu Yuanzhang skillfully plowed the fields five or six times before he stopped with a reluctance.
Then, the surrounding yamen runners who had already prepared were carrying baskets and handing out steamed buns and meat to all the farmers present!
Zhu Zi'an understood that the priest's personal farming ceremony was completed!
Then, he got up.
"Zi'an has seen the Emperor!"
“Huh?”
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was dealing with the congratulations of various officials, looked at it according to the voice and found that it was Zhu Zi'an.
He couldn't help but show a hint of surprise, "Zi'an, why are you here?"
Zhu Zi'an...
"I've seen the little real person!"
On the side, I found that Zhu Zi'an's prince Zhu Biao also saluted with a happy face.
"I've seen His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Zhu Zi'an returned the gift again.
Then, he said, "Go back to the emperor, Xiaodao is here for spring plowing!"
Chapter completed!
