The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Chapter 66: Worrying about Life

This harvester only existed for one day before it was dismantled again on the order of Zhao Tao. The next day, a dozen people selected from the government each took a part and went out. The harvesters from Gongzhou, Yingtianfu and other counties near Xiangyi

Several large blacksmith shops and carpentry shops suddenly received a batch of urgent work and were required to complete it within ten days. As a result, the residents nearby were unlucky. Every day, there was the sound of axes gouging wood and the sound of hammers striking iron chisels.

The noise lasted until late at night, causing them all to lose sleep.

At the same time, several major local handicraft guilds are also busy. They want to recruit more than a hundred skilled and experienced blacksmiths and carpenters within a month. It is not easy to find so many people at once, but the employer is ready.

The agency fee is high, but they are happy to be burdened. They ride horses and sedans every day to dig corners and pry people away.

Zhao's Mansion is in a state of panic right now. Some people have been removed from the Mansion to build canals and embankments, but now the prince seems unwilling to let go of the remaining people. He has launched a second mobilization to recruit those who have reached the age limit.

At the age of fourteen, men under the age of fifty were all gathered together. Regardless of whether you were a janitor or a horse feeder and cook, they were all sent to the craftsmanship workshop for assault training. Although people complained, but in view of the

For the sake of double salary, everyone forgave the prince's 'nonsense'.

Time flies, and it soon enters May. The weather is getting hotter. The main canal has been dredged, several ponds have been dug, and the roadbed along the canal has been leveled, waiting to be paved with stone slabs after the summer harvest. Today, the construction site

It's a big holiday for workers, and all the strong men have gone back to prepare for summer harvest and sowing.

In the back garden of the Zhao Mansion, Zhao Tao was sitting under a big willow tree by the pond. He was wearing a short shirt and a pair of hairpins. He was dressed coolly, holding a fishing rod in his hand and staring at the water.

Following the rippling fish float, two foot-long carp were flapping in the wooden barrel next to it, obviously his half-day trophy.

"Second Master, have a sip of sour plum soup to relieve the heat!" Jian Xi, who was standing behind him, said as he handed over the water glass.

"Okay, it tastes good, you should drink some too!" Zhao Tong took a sip and said with a smile.

"Hey, the second master is so free!" At this moment, a crisp bell-like voice suddenly came, but it had a sour taste in it.

"Hehe, sister Mei, didn't you see that I was fishing? Why did the ducks get here? Didn't I tell you to keep them active?" Zhao Tong greeted with a smile.

"The ducks have to swim here. What can I do? They can't understand what I'm saying!" Xiao Mei said angrily as she came out of the flowers.

"Sister Mei, you are really getting younger and younger. Your figure looks like that of a girl under twenty!" Xiao Mei was wearing a pink light-sleeved dress with narrow sleeves, and the two treasures at the placket seemed to be bursting.

She took off her clothes and wore a green skirt around her waist. She swayed from side to side with her hips, making her look very charming.

"I'm not old to begin with!" Xiao Mei almost lost her mind in her haste, and said sarcastically while touching her exasperated face.

"Haha, sister Mei, if I were older, I would have to marry you!" Zhao Tong said with a smile, but his mouth opened wide in surprise when he saw the joy. When the prince went over and heard someone mentioning his mother, he would immediately step on his tail.

He jumped up like a cat, threatening and intimidating people to take money, but why was there no movement today? Could it be that the prince had sperm in his head today? That's not right, the prince is only eight years old, and he has not yet reached the time of heat!

"Maybe the prince thinks she's 'thin' and has no money." Jian Xi could only come up with such a reason for the prince, but he didn't know that the prince had already squeezed out every penny from her body, and also issued a lot of IOUs.

, the only thing left to do is sign the deed of betrayal and become his.

"Okay, Second Master thinks highly of me, so I will get close to him!" Xiao Mei was annoyed in her heart, but she walked over with a smile like a flower.

"Sister Mei, please forgive me. I can't stand the smell of duck shit!" Zhao Tong quickly waved his hands and said, thinking that I am too young, let alone being intimate, your senior brother will see you like this.

He seems to be trying to kill me even if he talks to me. This man is more jealous than a woman.

"Oh, it's not your fault, Second Master. If you accept me as your personal maid, I promise to make you smell good every day!" Xiao Mei pinched Zhao Tong's face and sat down next to him and said.

"Hey, then I'm lucky. I have to keep my eyes open when sleeping, and I have to put a knife under my pillow to prevent you from touching my bed in the middle of the night!" Zhao Tong said as he handed her the sour plum soup he drank.

"Hmph, I'd better drink this bowl, lest you do anything wrong again!" Xiao Mei snatched the half-drinked sour plum soup from Zhao Tong and rolled her eyes at him. This boy said that he had given himself some 'Nine-turn Life-Destroying Pill'.

This made her timid for several days. After she calmed down, she realized that what she had eaten was just a few expired fennel beans, but she still had to be careful.

"The dog bit Lu Dongbin!" Zhao Tong drank the newly poured food and said, "Hey, did you kill and eat all the ducks I asked you to raise? Why are there only so few left?"

He suddenly discovered that there were always about a dozen ducks swimming around in the pond.

"Bullshit, I'm so exhausted!" Xiao Mei glared at Zhao Tong and said.

"More than 80 ducks were choked to death out of a hundred. How did you feed them? You can't just fill them with water!" The ducklings were bought according to Zhao Tong's instructions, but even if some of those ducks were stupid, they didn't know.

Being hungry and full doesn't make you half stupid.

"Humph, you guessed it right. The duck was still filled to death with too much water, but I fed it according to the method your second master said!" Xiao Mei looked up and down and said to Jianxi.

"Oh, my God, why are you so exhausted? These ducks will be of great use in the future." Zhao Tong cried sadly and pursed his lips as if he was about to cry.

"Tsk, tsk, your duck is not gold. Is this the case?" Xiao Mei looked at Zhao Tong and said funny.

"Although they are not gold, they are still silver. When they grow up and are roasted, each one will be sold for several hundred coins!" Zhao Tong murmured.

"Okay, okay, why don't I compensate you? I'll write you another IOU!" Xiao Mei was amused by Zhao Tong, but she was also afraid that he would cause another duck-laying-egg-egg-egg-laying-duck thing.

, it’s better to admit it first.

"Forget it, you still haven't paid off those debts. It's just a blank piece of paper to write. I'll buy another hundred ducks and you can feed them again!" Zhao Tong waved his hand and said "magnanimously".

"If you mention ducks to me again, I will throw you into the pond and raise you as a duck!" Xiao Mei was a little annoyed. This little devil didn't let him raise ducks. He was just trying to bully people. The ducks have grown to more than a month old.

At that time, he stopped letting the ducks feed themselves, and asked her to force-feed the ducks several times a day. But how did he know how much to stuff in, and the ducks were stuffed to death? This was not a joke on him.

.

"Okay, I won't say anything anymore!" Zhao Tong was really afraid that Bai Wuchang, who didn't know how to respect the elderly and care for the young, would throw himself into the water to cool off in a fit of anger. He was also wondering if the ducks could survive and whether there was something wrong with the duck breed.

, his farm in his previous life once raised stuffed ducks and supplied them to several large hotels. He also went through several trainings and saw how roast ducks are made. But where can he find purebred 'Peking ducks' now? They are probably still there.

As for life in the wilds of Daliao, we can only fumble here now, and there is no rush anyway!

"Where did you take my senior brother? Why hasn't he come back for more than ten days?" Xiao Mei asked.

"You owe too much, and you can't pay it back even if you rely on growing flowers and raising ducks. I gave him a job that earns double salary. If he works for a while, he can pay back this month's interest!" Zhao Tao rubbed his head.

said.

"You won't let him go and he's not hurt yet!" Xiao Mei swallowed back half of her words when she saw Jian standing aside.

"Tch, I'm a good person, don't worry, I won't let him do bad things!" Zhao Tong said disdainfully.

"Second Master, Manager Zheng is here!" A Xiao Huangmen who was guarding the second gate came over and whispered a few words in Jian Xi's ear, and Jian Xi quickly reported the news.

"Oh, I can't even take a rest, so let him come here." Zhao Tong sighed and said.

"What's wrong with you little brat? You seem to be busier than the emperor!" Xiao Mei looked at Zhao Tong and said with a cold snort.

Zhao Tong looked at Xiao Mei and lowered his head and sighed, but rarely replied. He couldn't say anything in his heart. The emperor was busy, but he was busy looking for women, looking for immortals, repairing gardens, and building Taoist temples. He didn't have a damn thing.

It's a serious matter. If he can manage some serious matters, why should he think about how to wipe his ass in the future?

"Second Master, one hundred harvesters have been assembled. We tried them in the wheat field today. Using a horse, we can harvest ten acres of land in one hour. If we become proficient, I think it can be faster!" said Zheng, the acting administrator.

Lu has been promoted to a full-time job, and he was just busy finishing the work on the ground when he was immediately sent to the workshop.

"Well, you immediately select some young elf people from various villages, teach them how to use them first, and then send them out. Whoever uses them can go to their fields. You can charge an appropriate fee. We can't use people to build equipment, but we have to use animals.

The money for materials!" Zhao Tong nodded and said.

"Yes, I think they only charge 30 cents for one acre of land. They hire a day laborer, and a good hand can cut three acres of land in a day, and the salary is 100 cents!" Zheng Lu said carefully.

"Okay, you can figure it out. There's one more thing you have to hurry up. After our land is collected, you immediately arrange for five machines to go north and five machines to go south. You don't want to make any money, but you want everyone to see it.

Get the benefits of our harvester and tell them where it was made!"

"Second Master, why is this?" Zheng Lu was puzzled and asked in confusion.

"Idiot, we hired so many craftsmen for fun, just to make harvesters, but you always put them on the bed of your own bed. Who knew you had good stuff? Who should we sell it to? You

Just keep it for fun?" Zhao Tong scolded him with his head covered.

"Yes, yes, I am stupid, but some of the wheat grown by Erye in the north has not been confiscated, but the wheat grown in the south has been harvested long ago. It is useless for us to go, right?"

"Oh, you are so stupid. You are still pretending to be here with me. After the wheat harvest, there is still early rice. Our machine can not only harvest wheat, but also harvest rice!" Zhao Tong said with a wry smile. This big man said with a wry smile.

It’s not easy to be a manager. If you can’t fully understand the leader’s intentions, you still need to practice hard.

"It seems that this kid is not only good at being clever, but he is also quite capable. He can train a person in charge to be obedient!" Xiao Mei, who was listening in, suddenly felt that Zhao Tong was no longer so annoying, and the look in her eyes changed when she looked at him.

Gotta be a little gentler.

"The prince seems to be worried about his life. Nothing in the palace can be done without him now. If the prince really becomes the emperor one day, will he be even busier?" Jianxi looked at the prince, then looked at him and obeyed his orders.

The manager suddenly thought of it.
