The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Chapter 11 The prince wants to farm ()

The new stewards were indeed experts, and they quickly took over the affairs of the house. After renting grain and putting it into the warehouse, they immediately began to raise the walls and renovate the courtyard. At this time, the weather was getting cooler. Zhao Tong seemed to be the same.

After walking out of the 'shadow' of the assassination, I started my routine morning walk again every day. Now it is much more lively than before. Jianxi is carrying the birdcage, Fengxi is pulling the dog, and two people with serious faces are following behind.

Cool guard.

"Well, if I have two more beautiful sisters by my side, I will look more like a playboy!" Zhao Tong shook his head and thought with a sigh, but there was nothing he could do. What happened last time scared everyone. Less than three

Personally, Zhao Tong can't even leave the yard.

Zhao Tong walked around the garden twice and suddenly saw a few people busy in front of the rockery. He turned to Jianxi and said, "Jianxi, is there really a big python there? Let's go and have a look!"

"Second Master, please stop teasing me, I'm still sweating all over when I think about it!" Jian Xi said with a bitter face.

"Hehe, don't be afraid now, there are guards behind you!" Zhao Tong turned to the two people a few steps behind and said angrily.

After saying that, he took the lead and walked over. Several people were decorating something on the roof of a room. "Uncle Li, what are they doing?" Zhao Tong asked the new old gardener on the side.

"Second Master, it's time for a morning walk!" Old Li Tou quickly saluted, "The weather is getting cold, and those delicate flowers and plants are afraid of freezing. We are repairing the greenhouse."

"Oh, then what are they pressing on the roof?" Zhao Tong asked again, pointing to the people above.

"Second Master, that's an open tile, it can let the sunlight in!" Lao Li Tou picked up a piece of open tile and showed it to Zhao Tao.

"Aren't these fish scales?" Zhao Tong took it and looked at it carefully and said in surprise. The fish scales are the size of an adult's hand and as thin as cicada wings. Although they are opaque, they will never block the sunlight from shining through.

"Here, these are the scales of the giant fish in the sea. They cost more than ten yuan a piece, and it costs more than twenty yuan to cover the roof!" Lao Litou replied. He felt a little distressed. This money can feed his family three snacks.

months.

Zhao Tong ignored Lao Litou's nagging and stared at the fish scales in his hand in a daze. In this era, there was no glass, let alone plastic film, but they could think of using fish scales to make a greenhouse. It seems that people's wisdom is really infinite, "Jianxi, you go back

Find the manager right away and build me a greenhouse in the garden. I'll tell you how to do it later. It must be done within ten days!" He thought for a moment and said in a tone that left no room for doubt.

"Second Master, what have you remembered again? What are you doing with this?" Although Jianxi was used to the prince's "mischief", it was still difficult for him to understand why he had done this.

"Hey, I'm doing somersaults inside, do you care? If I ask you to do it, do it right away!" Zhao Tong glared at him and said, throwing away his hand and walking back.

"Oh, a child's casual words can cost dozens of dollars. What a waste of money!" Lao Litou looked at Zhao Tong's back and shook his head and sighed.

"Haha, Lao Litou, you don't have to worry about it. They are not short of money. See if that dog is enough to feed your family for five years!" The guard walking behind said to Lao Litou with a wry smile. He also said to him

I don't have a good impression of Zhao Tong, the 'prodigal son'.

Although it was a temporary idea to build a greenhouse, Zhao Tong still wanted to find something to do for himself. It was difficult to live like a parasite with nothing to do every day. Besides, he had already seen winter vegetables being prepared in the dining room two days ago.

, they are just things like radish and cabbage. Even if they eat these two things in different ways, they will still have to be eaten until the first batch of new vegetables comes out in early summer next year, which will take several months. He feels sick just thinking about it.

The efficiency of Jianxi's work is really good. Five days later, the construction of an arched greenhouse covering an area of ​​almost two acres has been completed. Perhaps considering that the prince wants to use this place as a playground, the entire greenhouse is built with high-quality wood.

It is spacious, bright, and well ventilated. A well was drilled in the middle according to the prince's request, but no one knew exactly what the prince wanted to do.

The prince's next move still caused a sensation in the whole house. The prince wanted to farm! He called in all the more than ten boys who were still doing "induction training", and each of them was given a shovel and went into the greenhouse to level the land and dig canals.

In the past few days, under the command of Zhao Yu, everything in the greenhouse has changed. A large area of ​​land has been divided into long vegetable fields. Zhao Yu has measured the distance of each long with steps, and he has asked for each row to be done.

It should be straight and straight, and look neat and tidy like a huge chessboard.

Zhao Tong had been the director of a farm for several years in his previous life, and he was considered an expert in farming. He could tell a thing or two about the most advanced soilless cultivation, and growing vegetables in greenhouses was no problem.

"Second Master, are you going to farm?" Jianxi said as he wiped the sweat from Zhao Tong's face with a handkerchief.

"Yeah, can't you?" Zhao Tong asked with a smile.

"The prince's farming is all done by the servants. As a prince, how can you do these things?" Jianxi said hesitantly.

"Haha, the prince doesn't have three heads and six arms. The prince also has to eat, drink, poop and fart. We are all the same. My father has to plow the fields every spring. Why shouldn't I!" Zhao Tong said nonchalantly.

"Second Master" even tried to persuade him when he was happy.

"Stop talking!" Zhao Tong waved his hand to stop Jianxi's rambling, and said to Fenxi who was on the ground: "Fengxi, everyone has worked hard these days. Go to the kitchen and give instructions to stew a big pot of mutton for noon today.

, I also eat here and won’t go back!”

"Okay, Second Master, I'll go and send a message right away!" Fenxi said, raising his sleeves and wiping the sweat from his face.

"Hey, Fengxi, wait a minute, I'll go with you." Jianxi was now afraid of Zhao Tong in his heart and didn't dare to disobey him, so he had to find an excuse to report Huang Jingchen.

"Everyone has been busy for a long time, come here and have a rest!" Zhao Tong stood up and greeted the boys who were still busy. After hearing Zhao Tong's greeting, everyone gathered around. There were no chairs or benches here. Everyone was sitting on the floor.

"What's your name and how old are you?" Zhao Tong asked the boy who looked to be the oldest. He could tell that everyone seemed to take him as the leader.

"Back to the second master, the younger one's name is Zhao Ren, and he is twelve this year!" the boy replied respectfully.

"Oh, what about you?" Zhao Tong pointed at the other one and asked.

"Little Zhao Yi, it's the National Day this year!"

"Little Zhao Li, he is also twelve this year!"

"Little Zhao Yong, this year is the eleventh!" The boys reported their names and ages one by one without Zhao Yu's instructions. Zhao Yu also understood that these boys had all changed their surnames. According to the principles of benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom, trust, loyalty, filial piety,

Lian Shaoyong arranged his names. They have become his servants and share weal and woe with him. This means that if his house is ransacked in the future, none of them can escape!

"Xin Zhao, I see you are so small, how can you be eleven? Did you hide it?" Zhao Tong handed him a bowl of tea soup prepared for himself and asked with a smile.

"The little one is really eleven years old, he's just a little taller," Zhao Xin explained, his little face turned red from holding back tears and he looked like he was about to shed tears.

"Okay, I believe it. Don't worry, just drink the tea!" Zhao Tong said with a smile. He felt like he had returned to the army in his previous life. He was chatting with a group of recruits who had just joined the army. He asked

Where is this hometown? Find out if that person has any brothers or sisters, and ask them how their life is now in the mansion. The children have no scheming ideas. They see that the prince is very kind, and they are just children like them.

Slowly they let down their guard, and within a short time a group of people had already accepted the prince as their new friend.

While chatting with these boys, Zhao Tong felt very uncomfortable. These children (in his mind, these people were children) were all poor people. Some of them had their fathers die in the expedition to conquer Xixia, and they were left alone.

He was helpless and was kidnapped and trafficked by others. Some families had a large population and could not survive anymore and had to sell them. At this time, he thanked God. Compared with them, he was not the most unlucky. At least he became a prince.

Dang Dang.

At noon, Jianxi indeed got two large pots of stewed mutton according to the prince's instructions. These boys probably hadn't seen meat for a long time, their eyes were green, and they didn't care about so many rules. They wolfed down the two big pots of mutton.

The bowl of meat was completely eaten. Zhao Tong also joined in the fun and grabbed a bowl with everyone. After the meal, everyone became more emotionally involved and felt that the prince was a good person.

"Zhao Ren, you should tidy up the vegetable bed according to this standard this afternoon, otherwise there will be no meat to eat at night!" Zhao Tong gave a demonstration, using a shovel to make the vegetable bed angular and neat, and raised his head to face the crowd.

said.

"Don't worry, Second Master, we will get him done today!" Before Zhao Ren could answer, everyone had already agreed.

"Okay, Jianxi, if everyone clears the ground tonight, meat will be added to the dinner!" Zhao Tong said loudly, and the enthusiasm of the boys was immediately aroused again, but Jianxi nodded with a grimace. Today he

I had already asked Huang Jingchen for instructions, and the old guy just said that he could come as long as the prince pleased, as long as nothing happened.

In the next few days, Zhao Tong would soak in the greenhouse after eating breakfast every day, directing everyone to water the vegetable field, sprinkle it with horse manure pulled from the horse pen, turn it over twice, and spread it evenly.

After planting the rapeseed and starting to raise the seedlings, the weather is getting colder and colder, and it’s the rustling late autumn!

After several autumn rains, the weather is getting colder day by day. The vegetables in the greenhouse have sprouted, and they have to be covered with straw curtains to keep warm at night. On the sixth day of October, it is time to move. The summer courtyard has been renovated a few days ago. Today Zhao Tan

Moved from Winter Garden to Summer Garden.
