Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1391, farmers are suffering, farmers are tired, farmers have tears of bitterness
"You, you~"

"Even if this old man dies here, he will never bow to such treacherous, despicable and shameless bastards."

Hearing Liu Jin's words, Xu Heng was so angry that his beard straightened. He pointed at Liu Jin and said very forcefully.

"Master Xu, am I mean and shameless?"

"I'm afraid you are talking about yourself. You yourself have said repeatedly in the court that people must be hardworking and not lazy. How do you harvest the wheat today?"

"Is this what you call hard work?"

"Is that how you work so hard?"

"You can't stand it for just one day. You know, farmers are like this every day of the year. During the autumn harvest, the whole family, young and old, have to work in the field until late, and they are reluctant to part with it." Sit down and rest for a while, unlike Mr. Xu, who keeps saying that he needs to work hard, but when he actually arrives in the field, he still has the leisure to sit here and enjoy the sunset."

When Liu Jin heard this, he immediately sneered.

"You~you~"

"The old man is old and has bad hands and feet. Naturally, he can do it slowly."

"Furthermore, the old man is a scholar, how can he bend his waist for these three buckets of rice like those lowly farmers?"

Xu Heng was even angrier after hearing this, but he also made excuses for himself.

"Ah~"

"Master Xu said this as if he was really old."

"In all parts of Daming, I don't know how many old people who are older than Mr. Xu have been busy in the fields all their lives. You only harvested ten acres of wheat, and it was only this time. Do you know the words of a farmer who spends his whole life farming. "

"This waist can't be straightened up, and a seven-foot man will turn into an old farmer. Calluses will appear on the palms, and there will be no pain in cutting with scissors."

"Scholars are better than peasants?"

"Without farmers farming the land, what do you eat and drink?"

"It's just to feel the hardships of farmers, how difficult is it for you?"

Liu Jin sneered.

"You~you~"

Xu Heng was so angry that he couldn't say a word while pointing at Liu Jin.

"The two lovers should hurry up to harvest the wheat."

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the two of them, left a word, ignored them, and took his ministers back to Beijing to rest in a four-wheeled carriage.

Seeing the convoy going away, Xu Heng and Li Renjie felt very uncomfortable.

"No charge~"

Xu Heng picked up the sickle and threw it into the wheat field, and went directly to his four-wheeled carriage, intending to drive back to Beijing.

However, before he got into the car, a palace guard stopped Xu Heng and said, "Master Xu, Your Majesty has an order. If the two adults don't finish harvesting the wheat, dry it, and grind it into powder, you can't go back and eat it." You must live on the side of the farm.”

"This……"

When the two heard this, they were completely dumbfounded, and only then did they know that Emperor Hongzhi had really moved them both.

Everyone can use the harvester, and everyone can go back to have a good meal and sleep at night, and when they get to my place, if I don't finish harvesting the wheat, I won't even go back.

"Too much deception, too much deception~"

"I want to see Your Majesty, I want to see Your Majesty~"

The two shouted immediately, but the guards around them ignored them.

These guards are all from the new army. They are different from the previous palace guards. They are also the beneficiaries of the new army system. Now these sour and rotten scholars oppose the new learning and threaten to drive the factory workers back to farm. In the future, the general system will be changed back to the previous military household system.

Then everyone will have a good time.

Therefore, these guards not only ignored them, but also stared at them.

No matter how much Li Renjie and Xu Heng yelled, it was useless.

The sun was setting and the night was getting hazy. When a gust of autumn wind blew, the two of them immediately felt bitingly cold. When they looked around, everyone had already left, only the guards who were staring at them were staring at them.

There was no other way but to go to the farm.

The next day, the genius had just started to light up. Xu Heng and Li Renjie, who were more or less tired yesterday, were sleeping soundly. There were delicious food and drinks in their dreams, as well as their concubines and so on.

"Dangdang~dangdang~"

"Get up, get up!"

However, at this time, the guards shouted them like beating gongs and drums.

"Wake us up at five o'clock?"

Xu Heng and Li Renjie looked at their watches, opened the window and looked outside, the sky was just getting bright, it was freezing cold, and with a gust of autumn wind blowing, they couldn't help but huddled under the blanket.

"My lords, during the autumn harvest, farmers get up as soon as the sun rises to harvest the wheat."

The guard said with a smile.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry~"

"How can there be such a tormenting person, who doesn't even let people sleep well."

Xu Heng covered the quilt, and continued to sleep straight away, as if a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry~"

"Don't wake us up until nine o'clock."

Li Renjie followed suit and continued to fall asleep.

"Pfft~"

However, it was a basin of cold water that answered the two of them. The two of them were very warm under the quilt, and when they were splashed with cold water, they immediately exploded.

"You, you~"

The two looked angrily at the guard who poured cold water on them.

"I'm just doing things according to the order, the two adults don't make things difficult for us."

The guard replied coldly.

At this juncture, the two of them immediately knew that playing tricks was useless, so they could only reluctantly get up, hurriedly ate a few steamed buns to accompany porridge and pickles, and continued to come to the wheat field.

At this time, the sky was getting brighter, but there was a lot of frost, and there was a lot of dew in the wheat fields.

The two came to the wheat field with great reluctance, and they didn't go to the field to harvest the wheat, but just stood on the concrete road.

The guards next to them didn't make it difficult for them anymore, they just stood and they just sat and chatted, just watch them.

In this way, time is slowly passing by, the sun rises and shines on the earth.

Emperor Hongzhi came here again with his officials. They came here to dry the wheat. One day today, they can start grinding flour tomorrow.

"Master Xu, Master Li, people must be hardworking and not lazy, but hurry up to harvest the wheat, otherwise the weather will get colder and colder, and it will be difficult when the time comes."

Looking at the two people admiring the scenery on the concrete road, Liu Jin who was passing by couldn't help but said with a smile again.

"Humph~"

When Xu Heng and Li Renjie heard it, they snorted in unison.

Emperor Hongzhi took his ministers to dry the wheat on the farm, and at the same time experienced the use of traditional methods to shell the wheat and grind the flour for a day, and he knew the hardships of the farmers and the hard-won food.

On Xu Heng and Li Renjie's side, they didn't do anything, they just stood on the road, sat when they were tired from fighting, and walked when they were tired. Anyway, they didn't go to the fields to harvest wheat.

They felt that as long as they persisted for a few days, Emperor Hongzhi would definitely let them go, and there must be some old friends in the court to talk to them, so naturally this matter passed.

However, Emperor Hongzhi really didn't intend to just let them go this time.

Emperor Hongzhi is very disgusted with this kind of sour and rotten scholars who shout loudly but have no practical ability to act. He must let them understand life well.

On the third day, the two were still woken up very early, and the two still went to harvest the wheat. Emperor Hongzhi also came to the farm again with his officials.

This time, the wheat that was sun-dried yesterday was ground into powder by using a steam mill.

With the help of the steam mill, the milling process is much faster. In just one day, all the ministers basically ground the wheat they harvested into flour.

"My dear friends~"

"Everyone take these flours home. I hope everyone can remember the labor of the past three days, the hardships of the farmers, and the responsibilities and missions on their shoulders."

"If you are at the top of the temple, you should think more about the common people and do more practical things for the common people, instead of shouting about being loyal to the emperor and patriotism, calling for the family and the world, but in the end you don't even understand the hardships of farmers. "

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the white flour in front of him, then at the officials, grabbed a handful of flour and said to the officials.

"The ministers will definitely remember the hardships of the past three days, not forget the hardships of the people, and think more about doing things for the country and the people."

All the ministers replied in unison, these ministers had endured some hardships in the past three days, experienced the hard work of farmers, and understood the good intentions of Emperor Hongzhi.

Under the leadership of Emperor Hongzhi, the group of officials successfully completed the task, and happily dragged their own flour back to Beijing in a four-wheeled carriage, leaving only Xu Heng and Li Renjie here still in a daze.

The two seemed to have made up their minds not to go to the fields, and at the same time, they also informed their servants to inquire about the situation in the capital. For several days, there was no news. It seemed that everyone had forgotten about the two of them.

Immediately, the two of them panicked completely, they could not go back this time, and Emperor Hongzhi had no intention of ordering them to go back, and looking at the wheat field in front of them, the two immediately understood.

If the wheat is not harvested and ground into flour, the two of them will probably stay here for the rest of their lives.

Knowing this, the two of them had no choice but to go to the fields to harvest wheat. They didn't want to stay here forever.

"The farmers are suffering, the farmers are tired, and the farmers have tears of bitterness!"

In the next two days, they got up very early to harvest wheat every day, and returned to the farm very late. In just a few days, the two of them seemed to be different people. Like an old farmer, he is always busy doing geographies in the fields.

At this time, they really understood the hardships of the farmers, just harvesting wheat, ten acres of wheat, the two of them went to harvest wheat day after day, but it seemed that they would never finish harvesting.

Moreover, after the wheat was harvested, it had to be threshed, dried, and ground into powder. The two of them had to wipe away bitter tears.
