First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Farming is hard work, but the hardest part is not the hard work, but the fact that no family property can be saved after hard work. A natural disaster and man-made disaster will leave you with nothing. The small-scale peasant economy is so fragile.

Small scale of operation, lack of ability to accumulate and reserve, unable to withstand the wind and waves, the heavy rent and corvee of the imperial court, and the exploitation of gentry and wealthy merchants will inevitably lead to land mergers. No place to stand.

But this is the deep foundation on which the feudal political culture and other superstructures are built and existed for a long time. At least for now, it is the fundamental interest of the vast majority of people.

Zhu Biao was absent-mindedly farming, anyone could see it, but no one dared to say anything, even the old Zhu, because everyone knew that he was not a sneaky person, he must be thinking about something important .

After all, it is not too difficult to pretend to do it for a while. His Royal Highness has studied hard since he was a child, and he has never been tired of the Northern Expedition and Southern Tour since he was a child. This is already the inherent impression of Zhu Biao's many years of business.

Lao Zhu didn't give up until the palace lanterns were lit all around, he dropped his hoe and sat on the ground, patted the dirt on his feet, put on his boots, got up and left.

Most of the court ladies and eunuchs hurriedly followed, surrounded the emperor and walked towards the harem, the princes were relieved, Zhu Biao clapped his hands and looked at the little eunuch who came from the harem.

"This servant is ordered to thank His Highness the Crown Prince for His Highness the Seventh Prince's kindness..."

Zhu Biao frowned and waved his hands: "I see, Lao Qi is not young anymore, he should be more disciplined in the future, what father hates most is the prince's arrogance and domineering, so we should take it as a warning."

"The servant will definitely take His Royal Highness..."

Zhu Biao didn't bother to listen to what was said later, and he didn't plan to say anything more. He already had a son, so there were many taboos, and he didn't want to have anything to do with the concubines in the harem at all.

Although it was not a big deal for Concubine Da Ding to send someone to thank him, it was not necessary at all. She probably saw her son crying and went back and felt that the emperor was angry and panicked and wanted to please Zhu Biao.

Concubine Da Ding's Miaoman figure was quite favored by old Zhu En in the early years, but she was born as a concubine of Chen Youliang, which made her lack of confidence. She served the emperor with a broken flower and a willow, if she was not lucky enough to give birth to two princes, plus Kuanren, the Empress who got on the horse, probably died without knowing why.

Zhu Biao led his three younger brothers to a pavilion where there was a water basin steaming with heat. Zhu Biao put his hand in it and sighed comfortably, then took the topaz-like soap beside him and rubbed it a few times , Make foam in your hands and then put it in water to wash it again.

The soap came out last month. Plant ash, lard, salt, water, wine, the raw materials are not rare, and the manufacturing process is not too difficult. Compared with the existing pancreas saponins, the effect is much stronger.

But no matter what, it is not affordable for ordinary people. Zhu Biao has not ordered large-scale production at present, but only for the royal use in the palace. At most, it will be rewarded to the ministers.

After Zhu Biao washed, it was the turn of the second child and the third child. The three brothers rushed to surround him. The eldest brother didn't do much work, and his hands were not dirty. Two black mud.

Jin Wang Zhu Xi bumped his two younger brothers away with his shoulder and said: "Is there any more rules? I don't understand the order of the elders and the younger? You all go to the back and wait."

Qi Wang Zhu Di firmly occupied a position and said with a sneer: I don't know who we ended up in. If we still have some self-knowledge, we should be at the back at this time. "

King Zhu of Chu had almost finished washing his hands while they were talking, but he still yelled: "The brothers and sisters taught by Mr. Gong have all forgotten, elder brother, look at them both!"

After the three guys finished washing, a layer of sand had accumulated on the bottom of the basin. Fortunately, two other basins of hot water had already been brought up. Zhu Biao looked at Liu Jin expressionlessly, with slight dissatisfaction in his eyes.

The four princes are here, it doesn't make sense that the hot water is so slow, how can the princes be short of water in the palace?

It was clearly arranged deliberately, so that the prince's personal eunuchs dare not make a sound, and only Liu Jin, the prince's personal eunuch, wanted to show the difference between the monarch and his subjects, and the order of seniority and inferiority.

Liu Jin didn't dare to look into the eyes of His Royal Highness. She bowed her waist and lowered her head, looking down at the ground in front of her. However, there was no trace of regret in her eyes. Some things have to be done. If no one does it, Then how can we bring out His Highness's generosity and benevolence.

The three brothers on the side were not stupid, they just pretended to be stupid on purpose, and it was not a bad thing to be beaten by their elder brother, they were already lying flat on the left and right.

Zhu Biao said: "My father wants to eat the food you planted. Let's work hard until the summer harvest. Later, my brother will intercede for you. This matter is over, and you don't have to be stuck here anymore."

The eyes of the three brothers lit up, and they hurriedly surrounded them. Zhu Biao shook his sleeves in distaste. These three men worked hard for a day, especially when they were under the eyes of Lao Zhu. taste.

At this time, the three brothers ignored their eldest brother's resistance, and licked their faces and moved closer. The second brother said first: "Brother, I can go out too, don't let them go and leave me alone, I am alone!" Can't get enough work done."

The third child immediately became displeased: "Second brother, one person does the work and the other is in charge. It is not enough for the two of us to accompany you to suffer the unreasonable disaster for so long. Why do you still want to hold us back?"

Zhu Di even shouted: "Brother, don't let the second child go out, he will never repent, I also heard yesterday that he took another maid into the room!"

Zhu Biao raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, good guy, the second child is the real man, his legs are about to be broken and he still refuses to repent, is he really not afraid of Lao Zhu's stick?

Zhu Xi trembled and pulled Zhu Biao's sleeve and said pitifully: "Brother, don't listen to the bloody mouth of the fourth brother, I can behave now, that person who was originally me..."

Zhu Biao took a look at Zhu Xi's face, and felt that he was still healthy and ruddy, so he was relieved. In fact, it is nothing if the prince wants more women. As long as he is not stupid enough to squander his body, any father will dislike his son. Too much cabbage?

Last time, the second child was too much, and Lao Zhu was so anxious seeing that he was about to fuck, otherwise he wouldn't bother to care about his son's work for Lao Zhu's family.

But the second child is someone who shines brightly when given a little sunshine, Zhu Biao still frowned and warned him a few words, and his brows eased after seeing him repeatedly begging for mercy.

"The two of you will be getting married this year, so don't cause any more trouble, otherwise the father and the emperor will beat the mother and the queen will be disciplined. Even I have ways to torment you, you know!"

Zhu Xi and Zhu Xi nodded in agreement, while Zhu Di was watching the joke, his marriage was the earliest, but his elders were in order, no matter what, it would be his turn only after all his elder brothers got married, this year is definitely not going to happen.

"Go to Zijin Mountain at the end of the month. Your sister-in-law will call them all up and dress them up. She is the official wife who will live with you for the rest of your life. Be good at that time."

The three brothers naturally promised again and again, but Zhu Biao looked at them not because he could look at his wife, but because he was excited that he could not plow the land that day but go hunting outside the city on horseback.

Zhu Biao didn't bother to say anything more. Women are not special to the princes, even regular wives. Especially in a situation where there is no hope of seizing the heir, it doesn't matter whether the wife's family is rich or powerful. It's the same for rebels to marry anyone.

After chatting for a few more words, they each left. Zhu Biao has to go to court tomorrow, and the three brothers have to get up early tomorrow to farm the fields. They are all working very hard. Naturally, they want to go to bed early. Of course, the second child may have other ideas. arrange…

On the way back to the palace, there was silence. Zhu Biao was slightly dissatisfied with Liu Jin's arrangement, but he didn't mean to reprimand him specifically.

Zhu Biao, who was planning to go back to the palace and take a rest, walked to the gate of Chengqian Palace and sighed, then turned and went to Wang Rui's house to rest. Although he didn't think too much about it, he really needed a son with the blood of the Koryo royal family now.
