Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2632 Autumn Harvest

Fang Jun and Li Tai walked out of the gate at the end, surrounded by soldiers and royal guards, they did not dare to be careless in the slightest.

After going out of the gate, he saw a few carriages passing by, and the first one opened the curtain, and it was Si Nongqing Dou Jing who waved at Fang Jun and said with a smile: "The old man came here uninvited, Witness the yield of the corn with Erlang, and see if it can become the same staple food as rice and millet as Erlang said."

Then he saw Wei Wang Li Tai next to Fang Jun, he was a little stunned, and quickly stopped the carriage, got out of the car, quickly came to Li Tai, bowed to the ground, and saluted: "My minister Dou Jing, I have seen Wei Wang Your Highness."

The few people who accompanied him were all officials of Sinong Temple, because they cooperated with Fang Jun in compiling the "Nongshu" and had very close contacts. Lishan Farm has almost become the second office of Sinong Temple, and there are officials all year round. Stay here to record and inspect the planting conditions of all the crops in the farm.

Obviously, Fang Jun's order to close the mountain just now has not yet been implemented, and this Secretary of Agriculture came to the village impatiently, and just escaped the blockade of the soldiers. If he came a step late, he might have to be stopped at the foot of the mountain...

Li Tai's eyelids twitched. The reason why he came to Lishan was because he didn't want to have contact with court officials, and hid from Guan Long's gang. However, when he arrived at Lishan, he was bumped into by Dou Jing...

However, although Dou Jing was born in Guan Long, he never got involved in the strife between courts, and his status was very aloof, so he could only smile and nod his head, and said: "Your Majesty Dou Si, please excuse me."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

After getting up, he looked at Li Tai suspiciously, and then at Fang Jun.

He does not get involved in the struggle between the court and China, and even avoids the matter of the reserve position, but it does not mean that his eyes and ears are closed, and he is unaware of the recent resumption of the reserve position dispute.

I also know that many people are staring at King Wei now, hoping to win him over to King Jin to increase his weight. However, many people handed over name cards to King Wei's mansion to ask for a glimpse, but they did not expect that His Highness would follow him. Fang Jun came to Lishan.

Could it be that this person has fallen for the prince?
There are many people in the royal family who will be disappointed...

The soldiers and imperial guards came to mount their horses, Fang Jun and Li Tai got on their horses together, Dou Jing and a group of officials from Sinong Temple hurriedly boarded the car, and the group marched towards the Baomi field not far away.

When I got to the place, I saw that half of the mountainside was occupied by the people who had heard the news, and even the roadside was crowded with people. This corn had a magical origin, and was blown away by Fang Jun. These people watched from the spring. The corn seedlings grow up bit by bit, and they are about to be harvested. How can we not come to join in the fun and see if they can be as productive as Fang Jun said?

Fang Jun and Li Tai got off their horses by the side of the road, and followed the ridge beside the field canal to the middle of the mountain. A large piece of lush cornfield is now green and yellow, with wilted and half-hanging leaves, and ears of fruit on the waist Thick and full, the red beard hangs down slightly, like a wisp of red tassels.

The manager of the farm, Lu Cheng, had already led the farmers on standby, and asked, "Erlang, can we start?"

Fang Jun waved his hand: "According to the pre-set plan, let's start!"

"Here!"

Hundreds of people are all young and strong men and women in the village. Hearing the words, they walked into the corn field and started working.

The steps of harvesting corn scoring are carried out. First, break off the corn cobs and put them in one pile, and then cut off the corn stalks with a sickle, leaving only a section of oblique "ballast". This requires two or three teeth The toothed grapples dig it out, knock off the soil attached to the roots of the whiskers, and collect them together as firewood in winter.

Then tie up the corn stalks, pull the corn back with a cart to dry for a while, pull out the outer bracts, and put them in the corn bin for storage.

When it is completely dry, it can be threshed, or beaten into "ballast", or ground into powder.

……

Fang Jun stood on the ground with his hips akimbo, looking at the hot scene in the field, the ear of corn was broken off one by one, the tall corn stalks were knocked down one by one, and the uncontrollable sound had long been buried in the depths of his mind Suddenly, he felt itchy hands, tightened his sleeves, and simply went to the field, breaking off the corn cobs with the farmers.

Fang Jun got up, turned around and shouted: "Do you want to come together, Your Highness?"

Li Tai is used to being pampered and pampered, but has he ever worked in land or farming?This is the thing he despises the most, but seeing Fang Jun's excited appearance at this moment, he couldn't help becoming interested, walked to Fang Jun excitedly, imitated Fang Jun, stretched out his hand to grab a corn cob, , "Kaba", broke it off, threw it aside, and reached out to break another one.

There is no technical content in breaking corn, and it can be done by individuals, but this thing is addictive, and once you get started, you can't stop.

Each ear of corn cobs represents a harvest, which is what farmers work hard for a year. The more they break, the better the harvest. One ear after another, there is no way to stop!

This corn field is about two acres, and it is one of more than a dozen fields. After a short time, I went to the other end. Looking back at the piles of corn cobs in the field, I felt a sense of accomplishment.

Fang Jun shook his hands and looked at Li Tai with a smile: "What do you think, Your Highness?"

Li Tai panted slightly, and sighed: "When I just came back from the Western Regions last year, I felt as light as a swallow, and my endurance increased greatly, but I slacked off after a few days, and the fat around my waist returned, and I started walking They are all out of breath. This work is actually not tiring, and it is very enjoyable, but this king's body still needs to be polished."

Fang Jun didn't think about what kind of exercise method he came up with for the "big increase in stamina", he nodded and said: "Then take a break."

He reached out to ask the soldiers behind him for a water bag, unplugged it, took a big gulp, and handed it to Li Tai.

Li Tai didn't dislike it either, took a big gulp after taking the water bag, let out a long breath, although he was a little tired, but his face looked very excited.

Life lies in exercise, especially after moderate exercise, the physical state will make the mental state reach a good level.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion on the other side of the field, and then the crowd screamed and scattered, and then a group of guards with helmets and armor rushed over aggressively, surrounded one of them in a suit A burly middle-aged man in normal clothes.

Just when Fang Jun and Li Tai were astonished, the common people and officials over there had already prostrated themselves to the ground, shouting: "Long live Your Majesty!"

Fang Jun and Li Tai looked at each other, quickly wiped their mouths, and ran over quickly.

Taking a closer look, the one in the middle standing with his hands behind his back and his sword-browed eyes is none other than His Majesty Li Er...

"My son-in-law pays respects to his father!"

"Wei Chen greets His Majesty!"

Glancing at the two people in front of him, His Majesty Li Er frowned slightly, ignored Fang Jun, stared at Li Tai instead, and asked, "What were you doing just now?"

Li Tai replied: "Your minister and Fang Jun break corn together, feel the joy of farming and mulberry, and also demonstrate it to the people to boost morale."

His Majesty Li Er frowned more and more tightly: "What's the matter with your arm?"

Li Tai's small white hands and a plump forearm like tender lotus root are covered with tiny red marks on the left and right, which are densely packed and terrifying to look at.

Li Tai rubbed it subconsciously, and hurriedly said: "Father, don't worry, it's just an accidental scratch, it doesn't get in the way."

There are many inverted teeth on the edge of the corn leaves, which are very sharp. If you are not careful, the skin will be scratched one by one, which is painful and itchy, which is very uncomfortable.

His Majesty Li Er ignored him, looked at Fang Jun again, and asked, "You drag King Wei to work with you, why is your hand unscathed, but King Wei is in a mess?"

The corner of Fang Jun's mouth twitched, thinking that even if you are protecting the calf, there is no need to blame me, right?

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the humble minister often practices, his skin is rough and his flesh is thick, and he is not comparable to His Royal Highness's body."

He was wearing clothes with tight arrow sleeves to protect his arms. His palms were also covered with a thick layer of calluses from years of holding knives, guns, swords and halberds. How did the corn leaves get hurt?
His Majesty Li Er looked embarrassed, thinking that Fang Jun bewitched his son to the field and suffered a crime, but there are many people around, so it is not easy to explode, so he had to hold back his anger and turned to look at Dou Jing beside him: " Dou Siqing, have you ever calculated the yield per mu?"

Dou Jinggong said: "Officials are calculating, Your Majesty will wait for a moment..."

At this moment, a person staggered over from a distance, stumbled halfway in the ditch, got up rolling and crawling, and even had no time to wipe off the dirt on his body, ran to the emperor with a few steps, and gave a "plop" Kneeling on the ground, flushed and excited: "Your Majesty, it's out! The mu yield is out!"
