What's wrong? Kowtow when you disagree?
"My lord, if you hadn't chosen our Yutang Village to build a Zhuangzi, how could the imperial court recruit young and middle-aged men from our Yutang Village to work in your Zhuangzi?"
Cheng Chun said solemnly: "In the past, the men in the village earned enough money to cover the expenses of a family, but now working on your farm, they not only pay the local workers more money, but also manage three meals a day. You You are the Living Bodhisattva, and you are the benefactor of the people of Yutang Village!"
"Working on Zhuangzi?" Zhu Song muttered, "No, Zhuangzi hasn't been built yet, so how can we go to work?"
Perhaps seeing the doubt on Zhu Song's face, Cheng Chun, who was kneeling on the ground, said:
"My lord, didn't Long Live Lord give you our Yutang Village? You still want to build a village in Hexi, and the imperial court posted a notice. In order to rest the land, they recruited labor from the local people. Our Yutang Village because of I was lucky enough to be selected because of the close proximity.”
"Oh, that's how it is!" Zhu Song finally realized, "So, the construction of Zhuangzi has already started?"
Cheng Chun shook his head and said: "The adults of the Ministry of Industry said that Zhuangzi's blueprint has not been finalized, and now he is just leveling the land. When His Royal Highness King Han finalizes the blueprint, Zhuangzi will be able to break ground!"
"The people in the Ministry of Industry are cautious!" Zhu Song nodded slightly, "By the way, you should get up, even if you thank the court, you should thank the court. I don't have much credit for this king!" (To be continued.)
Chapter 137 A Turtle
Going forward along this street, Cheng Chun, who thanked Zhu Song, introduced Yutang Village to everyone more diligently.
When everyone reached the middle of Yutang Village, the river running through the whole village suddenly widened. Zhu Song pointed to the river and said, "Cheng Chun, what is the name of this river?"
Cheng Chun said with a smile: "My lord, this river diverges from the Qinhuai River, and it doesn't have an official name. People in our village simply call it Qinghe for convenience."
"Qinghe, it's quite appropriate." Zhu Song walked to the river, looked at the crystal clear river, and muttered, "However, it's far worse than Meiming River."
Zhu Song is still thinking about the name he gave this river.
"My lord, this clear river can be said to feed our entire village."
Unable to hear what Zhu Song was muttering, Cheng Chun thought that Zhu Song was thinking about the convenience the river brought to the villagers, so he said:
"Although we don't have many fields in Yutang Village, these lands are very fertile. Because of the Qinghe River, it is very convenient to irrigate the land. Therefore, people in the village use those lands to grow vegetables, or eat them at home, or It is more cost-effective than growing grain to sell it in the city of Nanjing."
Zhu Song nodded and said: "It's autumn now, it seems that vegetables are not easy to live in, right?"
Cheng Chun said with a smile: "My lord, you don't know. In this season of the year, all the vegetables in the field are dug up. Because the second half of the year has a long slack period, only radishes and cabbages will be planted in the village..."
"Uncle Song, I know this."
The little guys who have been following Zhu Song's buttocks like followers all this time finally popped out.
Everyone turned their heads and found that it was Zhu Taihe who spoke.
"Uncle Song, I, I heard from the uncle who delivered food at home."
Being watched by so many people, Zhu Taihe was a little ashamed, "Because of the weather, the vegetables will not be able to survive after autumn, so I will plant some radishes and cabbages that are easy to feed, and when they are harvested, they can be stored until winter. Take it out and eat it yourself or sell it..."
After hearing Zhu Taihe's words, everyone finally understood.
He blushed when he said it, Zhu Song ate a lot of vegetables in his previous life, but he knew nine out of ten skills about growing vegetables, and he still didn't know anything about growing vegetables.
Up to now, it is not even as good as a child.
"What this young man said is good..."
Cheng Chun took over the conversation and introduced the fields around Qinghe in detail, which also gave Zhu Song a general understanding of Yutang Village.
……
As time went by, everyone finally came to the source of Qinghe.
Although the boundary of Jianzhuang chosen by the people from the Ministry of Industry is also within the scope of Yutang Village, it is actually separated from Yutang Village by a clear river.
At the place near the source of the Qinghe River, the west side of the Qinghe River was assigned to Zhu Songjian Zhuangzi, and the east side of the Qinghe River was the land of Yutang Village.
On the Qinghe River from Hexi to Hedong, there is a stone bridge. The stone bridge seems to be some years old, with rough carvings on it, and the famous Song Dynasty style.
It seems that the legend about the name of Yutang Village may really be true.
"My lord, do you want to go to the bridge to have a look?"
After getting on the old bridge, Cheng Chun asked attentively, pointing to the enclosed boundary on the ground.
Just when Zhu Song was about to speak, Zhu Zhanji's voice came over: "Uncle Song, be careful, be careful of the water... oops!"
Just one sentence, no more questions.
There is no need to ask why, because a puddle of river water has already poured down, making Zhu Song and others instantly drowned.
In the river, a child who looked about ten years old got out of the river under the bridge. The boy was shirtless and was holding a turtle tightly in his hand.
Good guy, the turtle is actually orange in color, and looking at the head, it is half a foot square, with powerful four legs constantly moving, neck stretched, and sharp snout. It looks like Like howling.
Cheng Chun, who also didn't escape the end of the chicken, looked at the little guy in the river in despair, and said:
"Xiao Xu, it's you again! You dare to disturb His Royal Highness Han, why don't you hurry up and apologize to His Highness Han?"
The little guy under the bridge originally had a bright smile on his face, but when he heard the roar, he trembled in fright, and the yellow turtle almost slipped out of his hand.
"Father, father, me, I didn't mean it!" Cheng Xu responded eagerly, hesitating whether to climb ashore.
In fact, Cheng Chun was quite smart, knowing that Zhu Song would let this kid come over to make amends first, otherwise, Han Wang might have chopped this kid off when he got angry.
Their old Cheng's family is just such a single seedling, so it's unfortunate that something goes wrong.
Seeing that his boy was frightened into a fool, Cheng Chun was anxious, so he simply jumped off the bridge with a plop, twisted Cheng Xu's neck and screwed him onto the stone bridge.
Both father and son knelt in front of Zhu Song, Cheng Chun said:
"My lord, this child is Xiao's only son, and it's all because of my lack of discipline on weekdays. It disturbed my lord, so please forgive me!"
"You forgive me and that's it. These are the new clothes I just put on today!" Just as Cheng Chun finished speaking, Zhu Song hadn't spoken yet, but Zhu Huixun jumped out angrily.
Zhu Song escaped from the silk and wiped his head, then cast a glance at Zhu Huixun, and found that although the boy was angry, his eyes were fixed on the turtle that Cheng Xu was holding.
"This stinky boy, I probably have a crush on others." Shaking his head, Zhu Song thought to himself, "It's all from whoever I learned from."
Bullshit, I have been with you for the longest time, not from you, who else could I learn from?
Zhu Huixun's reaction startled Cheng Chun and his son.
"I don't know what the young master wants?" Cheng Chun trembled and said in a low voice.
Hearing this, Zhu Huixun's face brightened, and he opened his mouth and said, "I want... um!"
Just as Zhu Huixun opened his mouth, Zhu Song covered it, and swallowed the second half of the sentence abruptly.
