Chapter 118 Manor (2)

Seeing Li Jinglong being defeated, Zhu Yunxiu laughed in his heart.

In this era, the son-in-law and son must keep a distance when he is in the Yue family. Not to mention taking advantage of his father-in-law, even if his wife returns to his parents' home more often, others will say that there is no rules.

Like Li Jinglong, who has been taking advantage for so many years, is really not something that ordinary people can’t do.

"Speak!" the old man said again, "What are you doing at home? I borrow your father-in-law's farm? I don't know what kind of virtue you have? Can you spit it out when you enter?"

"The Supreme Emperor, I don't have a farmhouse at home! No, it's not such a pure farmhouse!" Li Jinglong said anxiously, "The farmhouses left by my father, as well as tenants, mountains, forests, ponds, mines, etc., have I handed over to the treasury a few years ago?" Li Jinglong said the less and less, "At that time, you always said that the nobles occupied too much land, and I am the royal relatives, so naturally I have to set an example!"

After he said this, Zhu Yunyu remembered it.

When he was the King of Wu, a censor impeached Huaixi noble Lan Yu, Li Jinglong and others to indulge their slaves in annexing the land. He also came forward to beat Li Jinglong. Li Jinglong was also a smart person, so he turned around and handed over these things over, and for this he received the old man's reward.

"Let him behave like a good person again!" Zhu Yunxiu said to himself, "The old man must be soft-hearted!"

Sure enough, after pondering for a while, the old man's face relaxed a lot.

The reason why he dealt with the founding heroes so ruthlessly back then was that in addition to the fact that the Huaixi Martial Arts Group could not lose its tail and was afraid that Zhu Yunyu would not be able to suppress it in the future, it was because some facts of these people were not very reasonable.

The land under his name is tens of thousands of acres, the mountains, forests and mines are countless, and the tenants in his family are thousands of households. In the end, when the Hongwu period was in Hongwu, only Li Jinglong and Wuding Hou Guo Ying were in fact.

"Get out of here, don't cry with us poor!" The old man cursed, "Ah, if you don't have a farm, just rob your father-in-law of your family? Beat it up!" As he said, he looked at the people kneeling in front of him, "Get up and take us into the farm to see!"

"Uncle, Emperor, Prince, please lead the way here!" Li Jinglong immediately stood up, bent down and walked forward, and led the way with a smile.

Park Bucheng, beside the old man, glanced at Li Jinglong lightly, and then looked away.

Zhu Yunyu, the Zhuangzi, had been here once, but the old man turned around. After entering the Zhuangzi, he kept looking at him with a slight scrutiny and hummed twice from time to time, as if he was a little dissatisfied.

"Grand Emperor, please take you to the back garden to rest..."

"You are just trying to clean up the sheep!" The old man said dissatisfied, "Look, a good farmhouse, a place to grow food and raise livestock. You have built these old houses so well. This is a farmhouse or your Duke Cao's villa!"

"Besides, farm farm, what garden have you built! Are you idle and have nothing to do? You have ruined the good farm!"

"Yes, yes, I will change it if I turn back!" Li Jinglong sweated.

"Change you, this is the Zhuangzi of the Deng family. The surname is Deng but not Li!" said the old man.

"Then... when I borrowed it, this Zhuangzi was like this. If this Zhuangzi was not so beautiful, I wouldn't have made it better to borrow it!" Li Jinglong felt aggrieved in his heart, and he didn't dare to say it, and kept admitting his mistakes.

"Where to go?" the old man said angrily again, "Take us to see the land. What's the point of these houses and gardens? Isn't it in the palace? Or do you, Duke Cao, think that this villa is better than our Forbidden City?"

"I don't dare!" Li Jinglong said quickly, "I will take you to see the farmland in Zhuangzi!"

~~~

The group passed through the manor with carved beams and painted buildings. After walking half a stick of incense, their eyes suddenly opened. Large fields of rice fields appeared in sight, and the thriving rice had already beaten the ears, almost as high as a person's waist. You could smell the fragrance from afar.

In the rice fields, there are a few crooked scarecrows standing. A few birds are not afraid at all. They land leisurely on the straw man. When they see people approaching, they flap their wings and walk away.

"Well, good land, good crops!" Seeing the fields full of vitality, the old man smiled.

"Fish! Fish!" Liujin shouted at the fish with a slap in the water.

"Grandmaster, come and have a look!" The old man greeted and squatted in the field with Zhu Yunxi.

"Hey, why are the fish so big in the rice?" The old man scratched his head, "The rice fields in the palace are filled with small fish and loaches!"

Zhu Yunxiu had been to Zhuangzi before, but had never seen the fields here. Now he was a little curious when he saw the clear water that the fish could not be swam all over the clear water.

After all, he was a child who grew up in the city in his previous life, and he really didn't know much about these agriculture in the countryside.

"Farming fish in rice fields?" Zhu Yunxiu thought, Li Jinglong's playboy would never be familiar with farming, and said, "Who planted this land?"

"Go back to the emperor!" Li Jinglong said, "The tenant in my family is called Zhang Baotian!" As he said, he smiled, "The skill of planting rice while raising fish is his work!"

"Zhang Baotian? This guy is so good, loud!" The old man looked in the rice fields with big hands, "Where is the person? Call us to see!" As he said, he said again, "Is this crucian carp? Take some out and fry it until the bones are crispy. Six jin like this!"

"Go, call Zhang Baotian!" Li Jinglong waved his hand, then directly lifted up his python robe and picked up his net bag, took off his shoes and went into the water, and said to Liujin with a smile, "Crown Prince, wait, I'll catch you now!"

Liu Jin clapped his hands and laughed, "There are no turtles in the water, there are so many turtles in the pond in the palace!"

"The prince has opened his golden mouth, there must be!" Li Jinglong said with a smile.

"Let's see you look like a turtle!" The old man laughed and scolded, "The Turtle Prime Minister of the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea!"

Soon, an honest farmer was brought over.

Zhang Baotian knelt on the edge of the field tremblingly. Judging from his thick joints and calluses on his hands, this man has been dealing with crops all his life.

"Let's ask you, you grow rice and fish. Why did you mix and make it so good?" the old man asked.

Zhang Baotian didn't dare to raise his head and whispered, "Little Man, the villain was learned by the villain's father."

"Don't be restrained, we have promised to give you a reward!" The old man said when he heard this, "Do you have a son? I'll recommend your son to be an official!"

Suddenly, Zhang Baotian looked up and his eyes were filled with incredible light, but then he lowered his head in fear and said, "The villain's rice fields are different from others. The embankment is widened, and it needs to be slapped firmly."

"Dig a fish ditch, fish slip or fish pit in the field, and set up a fish fence! Ten days after planting the rice seedlings, put the fry in. One acre of land, about 800 of them!"

"So much, beloved! It's enough to eat fish!" the old man said in surprise.

Zhang Baotian continued, "With fish, there should be more water in the fields, otherwise the fish will run away when it rains heavily!"

This is an agricultural talent, Zhu Yunxiu said, "What do you eat with so many fish?"

"Anything is fine. The fat on the rice fields is dried by the villain. After the water enters the field, there are small insects in a few days. Fish eat small insects and weeds, and they grow up!"

"Not blame future generations for saying that our civilization is a brilliant agricultural civilization. What an old country farmer said is just a confirmation of the ecological cycle. Fish eat things that are harmful to rice in the rice fields, and then the excrement is also fat, because the swimming of fish can also promote the decomposition of fertilizer in the land!"

The old man listened seriously and kept nodding.

When the other party finished speaking, he asked to the side, "Do you remember what he said?"

Among the crowd, a Hanlin secretary who followed hurriedly replied, "I have recorded it!"

"Copy it to the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works, think about it, Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Zhili, Huguang to see if it can be promoted!" The old man said, looking at Zhu Yunxi, "Big Sun, right?"

"Grandpa Emperor is as keen as a kettle. Today he discovered another good thing that is beneficial to agriculture!" Zhu Yunsheng smiled.

"We just move our mouths!" The old man smiled and clicked Zhang Baotian, "It's still he has the skills!" He said, looking at the other party, "This is all a secret recipe from the family, and it cannot be used in vain. How many of your sons?"

"The little man has five sons!" Zhang Baotian said, "The older one is already thirty, and the youngest one is only eight years old!"

"Ha, you can give birth!" The old man laughed and thought for a while, "Grandson, please give me an official?"

"You can go to the Ministry of Revenue to be a farmer's official, or you can also be a Jinyiwei!" Zhu Yunsheng said with a smile.

"The Jinyiwei is not good! The honest people can't eat when they go in!" The old man thought about it and said to Zhang Baotian, "You and your eldest son both go to the Ministry of Revenue to be a farmer's official!" As he said, he said, "Well, half of the eldest son is poor. If it weren't for the many sons, you wouldn't have to be a tenant for others! In this way, let Guanglu Temple get you thirty acres of paddy fields."

"I'm not grateful yet!" Li Jinglong came out of the field with a fish basket and smiled at the happy and stupid Zhang Baotian.

"I thank you for your kindness!" Zhang Baotian said loudly.

"What's there?" The old man smiled and pointed to the place where birds wandered in the distance.

Li Jinglong looked over there, "That is the lotus pond of Chen Zhuangzi. Emperor, please come and take a look? Lunch Chen arranged for you there while looking at the lotus..."

A few bangs, another kick.

Thump, Li Jinglong fell into the water.

"Dig a hole to grow food well, raise lotus flowers!" The old man said angrily, "It's a waste of my family!"

"I know the crime!" Li Jinglong fell into the paddy field, leaning on his back, and struggling his hands and feet to stand up with difficulty.

"Haha!" Liu Jin smiled softly and said to Li Qi who was holding him, "Look at your father, do you think you are the ones we caught in the pond, and then turn over the turtle that was placed on the ground!"
