Rebirth: The Fourth Lady Wants to Lie Down
Chapter 50 Kangxi Goes to Xiaotangshan
The next morning, before the morning glow had completely faded, Yinzhen had already gotten up. After washing up, he walked briskly to the front yard, waiting for his father to arrive. He knew that Kangxi would visit the Fourth Prince's Mansion today and go to Xiaotangshan together to check out the high-yield crops that Fuchang had just introduced.
Soon, Kangxi's carriage slowly stopped in front of the Fourth Prince's residence. Yinzhen hurried forward and, together with Su Peisheng, saluted and greeted Kangxi: "Your son Yinzhen pays respects to the Emperor, and wishes the Emperor good health and happiness."
Kangxi nodded, indicating that there was no need to be polite, and then got on the carriage.
The carriage slowly drove away from the Fourth Prince's Mansion in the morning sunshine and headed for Xiaotangshan. In the carriage, Kangxi was dressed in casual clothes and looked amiable. Yinzhen sat beside him, and the father and son enjoyed the scenery along the way while chatting about family matters. The carriage drove on the road with the fragrance of green grass, and the air was filled with the fresh scent of soil and green grass, which made people feel relaxed and happy.
After a bumpy ride, the carriage finally arrived at Xiaotangshan.
Fuchang had been waiting here for a long time. When he saw Kangxi and Yinzhen coming, he hurried forward to pay his respects. "Your servant Fuchang pays respects to the emperor, the fourth prince, and wishes the emperor good health and happiness."
Kangxi waved his hand, indicating that there was no need for so much formality, and said, "There is no need to be so polite today. I saw the crops you and Yinzhen dug yesterday and was very interested. I wanted to see them with my own eyes, so I asked Yinzhen to accompany me today to take a look."
After hearing this, Fuchang immediately expressed his willingness to take Kangxi to visit. He led Kangxi and Yinzhen to the place where sweet potatoes were planted. As soon as Kangxi got off the carriage, he saw a row of green sweet potato vines growing vigorously. Even without seeing the sweet potatoes underground, Kangxi could imagine how they were thriving. He was overjoyed and praised Fuchang for his contribution.
At this time, farmers were digging sweet potatoes in the field. Seeing this, Kangxi was eager to try and wanted to dig some himself. Li Dequan and Fuchang, who were standing by, were worried about Kangxi's safety and image and wanted to dissuade him, saying, "Your Majesty is a precious person. It is better not to do these things and let the farmers do it!"
But Yinzhen encouraged Kangxi to give it a try. He said: "Your Majesty, if you dig yourself, you can experience the hard work of farmers and feel the joy of a good harvest."
"Good, good, it is Yinzhen who moved my heart." Then, Kangxi followed the farmer and started to do it.
Under the guidance of the farmer, Kangxi and Yinzhen started digging sweet potatoes together. They dug out one plump sweet potato after another, and soon they dug out a pile of sweet potatoes.
Kangxi looked at the sweet potatoes in front of him. Although he was tired and sweating, his face was filled with a satisfied and happy smile.
He turned to Fuchang and said, "Fuchang, you are great! These high-yield crops will bring benefits to the people of the Qing Dynasty." After hearing this, Fuchang humbly said that he was just doing what he should do.
Then, Fuchang led Yinzhen and Kangxi through the dirt path in the field to where the potatoes were planted. The golden sunlight fell on the green potato leaves, flashing a vibrant scene.
Having just worked in the sweet potato field, Emperor Kangxi decided to just stand aside and admire the hard work of the farmers. He watched the farmers' hoes dancing, accompanied by the rhythmic sounds of labor, and piles of yellow potatoes gradually emerged. Emperor Kangxi's eyes revealed joy, and he couldn't help but walk forward, pick up a heavy potato, and feel the heavy satisfaction it brought.
"Fuchang, how long will it take to harvest all these potatoes?" Emperor Kangxi asked anxiously.
Fuchang replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, it will take another month."
Emperor Kangxi frowned slightly, his heart filled with longing for a good harvest of high-yield crops. He continued to ask: "How long will it take to distribute them to all parts of the capital?"
Fuchang thought for a moment and said, "It will take at least half a month, but it may not be in time for this year's autumn planting."
Emperor Kangxi pondered for a moment. He did not want to miss any opportunity to benefit the people, so he made a decisive decision: "I will send people to assist you and make sure to speed up the harvest and distribution."
Afterwards, Emperor Kangxi turned to Li Dequan and asked, "Li Dequan, how are the academic performances of the princes these days?"
Li Dequan responded respectfully: "Your Majesty, the brothers are not very busy with their studies."
After hearing this, Emperor Kangxi had an idea in mind. He turned to Yinzhen and said solemnly: "Starting tomorrow, you will lead all the princes here to help Fuchang harvest potatoes. During your stay in Xiaotangshan, you will be responsible for managing all the princes."
Yinzhen was a little hesitant at first, but when he saw the determined look in Emperor Kangxi's eyes, he realized that he could not refuse, so he nodded and agreed.
Emperor Kangxi then instructed Fuchang: "Fuchang, when the princes come here, you must fully assist Yinzhen and ensure that they can effectively participate in the harvest and learn the importance of farming."
Fuchang nodded in agreement, as he was fully aware of the responsibilities and mission he shouldered.
"Fuchang." Kangxi called softly.
"I'm here." Fuchang lowered his head and answered respectfully.
"Where are the peppers that Yinzhen brought me yesterday planted? I want to go and see them with my own eyes." Kangxi's eyes sparkled with curiosity and anticipation.
Fuchang was stunned, but he quickly reacted and said, "I will arrange it for the emperor right away."
Soon, they arrived at the pepper field. At first glance, the red peppers were hanging on the branches, like a sea of fire. Kangxi got off the carriage, stepped on the soft soil, and felt the breath of nature.
He approached a pepper plant, carefully observed the bright and juicy fruits, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "What a wonderful fruit!"
Fuchang explained: "Your Majesty, this pepper is called 'Chaotian Pepper' because its fruit grows toward the sky. It is not only spicy, but also rich in vitamins and is deeply loved by the people."
Kangxi nodded in praise, and his liking for this pepper increased a little more. He turned to Fuchang and said, "I think this pepper is very good. I want to bring it back to the palace and let the empress dowager taste it."
Fuchang smiled and replied: "Your Majesty is very filial. I will have someone pick some of the best peppers and prepare them for you."
At this moment, Kangxi suddenly remembered the juicy tomato from yesterday. He said to Fuchang, "Oh, I also remembered the tomato I ate yesterday. I'll prepare some as well. I want to bring it back for the Queen Mother to taste."
Fuchang replied, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. The tomatoes in the fields are in season. I will arrange it right away."
Soon, boxes of fresh peppers and tomatoes were carefully packed and ready to be brought back to the palace. Emperor Kangxi looked at these colorful fruits with a satisfied smile on his face. He knew that these delicious dishes would bring a special surprise to the empress dowager.
The team set off again, and Kangxi was full of anticipation. He imagined the joyful expression of the Queen Mother when she tasted these delicacies, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He knew that this trip to the fields not only allowed him to see the charm of high-yield crops, but also made him feel the warmth and filial piety of the royal family.
On the way back, Kangxi said to Yinzhen: "Today's trip has given me hope for the agriculture of the Qing Dynasty. You must continue to work hard to create more welfare for the people of the Qing Dynasty." After hearing this, Yinzhen nodded solemnly, indicating that he would live up to the expectations of his father.
This trip to Xiaotangshan not only helped Kangxi and Yinzhen better understand the planting of high-yield crops, but also deepened the relationship between father and son. They experienced the hard work of farmers and the joy of harvest together, and worked together for the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty.
