I want to be a grandson

Chapter 85

In the early morning of the next day, when the sky was still bright, Zhu Yunxi went outside the city to help the people near the guard reclaim wasteland.

At this time, there were not only soldiers in the guards, but also ordinary people responsible for farming, but most of the food they produced supplied the needs of the guards.

Then Qu Neng came to distribute the labor force, and a thousand guards were also distributed everywhere to reclaim wasteland.

When Zhu Yunxi came to the wasteland wearing light clothes and carrying a pickaxe, he saw that some people were already cultivating land.

Some are responsible for cutting off yellow weeds and bushes, and some are digging and loosening the soil.

After the underground soil is dug out, it must be smashed with a hammer.

Otherwise, hard bumps will be formed after drying, and it will be very difficult to subdivide the land.

The children are responsible for picking up the stones in the soil, putting them in baskets, and then two people carry them to the ridge and pile them up.

These stones are not conducive to the growth of plants in the field, and they are easy to damage farm tools during farming, so they cannot be left in the field.

If they are close to the field ridge, these children will pick up stones and compete to see who can throw them farthest and who can throw them accurately, and from time to time they will burst into childlike laughter.

No matter adults or children in the field, they are all working in full swing and beaming.

This is their own field, which will be cultivated by them in the future.

So I worked harder and more meticulously.

Everyone's faces are filled with comfortable smiles, and they look forward to harvesting more food next year!

Then you won't be hungry anymore!
You can also have a surplus, and your life will be better.

Moreover, there are government soldiers and horses to help cultivate, that is, thousands of laborers, so it is much easier to cultivate.

Xu Huizu was about to shake his head to dig the ground, when he suddenly saw a person in the distance who seemed very familiar, so he stopped and walked towards him.

When I got close, I couldn't help being surprised!
Only then did I realize that this young man in a shabby short jacket, waving his head vigorously, turned out to be the Third Highness!
This surprised Xu Huizu. Looking at the section of land dug out behind him, it had obviously been cultivated for a long time.

As a high-ranking person, especially in this era, it is understandable to value military power and gather the morale of the army, and it is also what every wise hero should do.

But now Zhu Yunxi gave him completely different senses!
He is personally reclaiming wasteland for the people, and there are farmers around him, and he will joke with them from time to time, and he has become one with them.

The ancient emperors would leave one or two acres of land in the garden, and when it was time to cultivate, they would be watched by all the courtiers.
Carpets are laid, incense burners are set up, and officials read a long article persuading farmers.

Then began to burn incense to sacrifice to heaven, and then offered three sacrifices.

After a set of etiquette, almost several hours have passed, and the energy has been exhausted.

Finally, with the support of the eunuch, he symbolically pulled up the cattle, supported the luxurious plow, and plowed the two ridges of land...

Or pick up the hoe that has been prepared long ago, studded with pearls and gems, and swing a few more hoes at the fluffy land that has been turned over countless times.

And then... no more.

What is essential is that after such "hard" work, I will tell the officials that it is not easy for farmers to cultivate. The government must be sympathetic to the people, and it is necessary to persuade Nongsang's words of love...

What's more, these face-saving jobs are not done, and it is enough to appoint officials or princes to replace them.

But Zhu Yunxie is different, from his clothes and facial expressions, Xu Huizu can be sure that these people don't know who he is!
"temple……"

When he got closer, Xu Huizu just wanted to call out.

Zhu Yunxi waved his hand secretly at him, motioning for him to go aside.

"Uh……"

It is really uncomfortable for a person who can't say a word when his throat is blocked!

But there is no way, who made him His Highness.

Xu Huizu had no choice but to step aside, and also waved his head to cultivate with the people.

This distance is just right, you can hear what His Highness says, and if there is any emergency, you can arrive in time.

It won't be too abrupt because it's too close, and it won't affect him.

"Old man, is this your grandson? He looks so strong!"

Looking at a boy picking up stones behind, Zhu Yunxi asked with a smile.

The old man in his fifties next to him also stopped comfortably, leaning on a hoe and said: "It's the grandson of the little old man. He is eight years old this year. He is very naughty. Now he has learned to talk back..."

When the boy heard it, his face turned red and he muttered, "Grandpa, I'm usually very obedient. Why did I talk back? If Daddy heard it, he would hit me again..."

The old man smiled and shook his head, both loving and comfortable.

"The old man seems to have a Guanzhong accent. I don't know where his hometown is?" Zhu Yunxi asked.

The old man said: "Lantian in Guanzhong, the military disasters in those years were too severe, and I couldn't survive... There is no way, this is why the whole family fled here...Young student, you are not a local, are you?"

"No, the family belongs to Nanyang, isn't it also because of the war, they also escaped..."

He approached him again and asked: "Old man, there are a lot of soldiers in the guard post here, it would be terrible if there was chaos, there would be no military disaster..." Zhu Yunxi looked worried.

But the old man said comfortingly: "Don't worry, my son, these officers and masters who serve as soldiers will not harm us, and they will help open up wasteland. It is enough for us people to have land to cultivate..."

"But don't worry, although there are many soldiers here, they have never heard of harming the people.

I heard that Master Qu issued a ruthless order that anyone who dares to harm the common people will be punished with a higher degree of severity, and his head will be beheaded! "

The old man quietly pointed to the surroundings and said: "See, these are all soldiers, and they all help us open up wasteland. Which one do you think is not working hard?

It doesn't matter if they collide with each other at ordinary times, and sometimes they help the common people build houses, build bridges and pave roads. It's really unreasonable to say that they harm the common people! "

"Oh...then I can rest assured..."

The old man said with emotion again: "Speaking of which, Emperor Hongwu still loves our people, otherwise we would really have no way out..."

Zhu Yunxi said worriedly: "But I'm still uneasy about opening up wasteland. The government will also collect the land for rent. Who knows how the harvest will be. If the harvest is not good, we will have less food."

The old man said with relief: "You youngster, you don't think a lot when you are young. The seeds are provided by the government. We just need to work hard. It would be nice to be able to share some food by then."

"Don't worry, the government can still watch us starve to death? I heard that a grandson of the emperor has come, and people prepare to reclaim wasteland before he comes. Which of these is not for the good of our people, if we really can't survive , the government will definitely not ignore it..."
