Five-year enthronement three-year simulation

In the lush green fields, the jute that the farmer just mentioned is really planted.Those dark green leaves are layered on top of each other, close together, thick and wide, covering all the gaps, and appearing extraordinarily dense.

Ming Tan and the others followed the farmer all the way and looked at the wilting ears of wheat on half of the farm. They couldn't help being amazed when they saw such a large area of ​​luxuriant plants and compared with what they saw before.

"Uncle," Ming Tan asked, "the field in Huangzhuang is suitable for planting jute, but that white girl discovered it by herself?"

"Yes, the white girl planted a seed together and tried it out slowly!" The farmer nodded, and he still admires when he thinks about it, "She was only twelve or thirteen years old, and she dared to hide it from Liu Papi at her own house. I have really cultivated a lot of tricks by working in the farmland, it is really bold and careful!"

Ming Tan rolled his eyes, said "Oh" thoughtfully, and squatted down.I came up and touched the thick leaves of jute, and I had some worries in my heart.

On the other side, the farmer was still full of praise: "...Later, Bai Yatou not only planted jute, but also planted a lot of tea trees in the east, and the growth was also very good. In order to treat her father's illness, she often used her own I went to the fields, picked new tea and sold it, and I heard that I made a lot of money!"

"tea tree?"

Ming Tan repeated the key word and pondered for a moment.

Although many villages and towns around Huangzhuang are growing grain, the local Chunzhou is indeed famous for growing tea...

Ming Tan frowned, stared fixedly at the soil at the root of the jute for a while, then suddenly stretched out his hand, twisted it a little, and brought it close to his eyes for a closer look.

The color of the soil is darker, generally dark brown; the texture is loose, and it is not easy to be kneaded into lumps...

Coupled with the fact that wheat cannot be grown, but jute and tea trees can be grown, it can basically be concluded that it is an acidic soil with a low pH value.

Huh.No wonder her Huangzhuang is so desolate. It turns out that the problem lies directly at the root.

Ming Tan sneered secretly in his heart, clapped his hands, stood up, turned his head and was about to ask a few more questions, but suddenly a crisp voice came from behind the audience, his tone was full of bewilderment.

"Uncle Miao?"

Ming Tan was stunned, turned his head to look, and saw a young girl with a basket on her back standing there, tilting her head in doubt, with a hint of vigilance hidden in her eyes, and said to the farmer: "These are you?" ...?"

"Oh! The white girl is back!" The farmer clapped his hands and laughed, "These are some noble people I met just now. I want to talk to you about something, so Uncle brought them here!"

As he spoke, he moved closer to the young girl's ear, raised his chin at Mingtan, and said in a low voice, "Girl, look at that nobleman, he is probably the daughter of a rich family in Chunzhou City, and he is looking for someone who can farm. Capable person... I remember you said last time, isn't Brother Bai's illness serious again? You must seize the opportunity and have a good chat with him!"

Hearing that Uncle Miao mentioned her father, and seeing Ming Tan and the others' extraordinary demeanor, the young girl's expression immediately relaxed a little.

She pursed her lips, took off her backpack, took two steps forward, and nodded to everyone, "Minister Bailu, do you dare to ask this young lady's name?"

"Miss Bai," Ming Tan obviously didn't expect the other party to be so young. Although he was a little surprised, his attitude was not contemptuous, and he said steadily, "Miangui's surname is Lin."

"..." Lin Shurong glanced at her, seeing that the latter didn't even blush, so he could only look away silently.

The princess's ability to open her eyes and tell nonsense has really become more and more perfect.

And Bai Lu at the side didn't notice Lin Shurong's weird eyes, just nodded, and gave Ming Tan a short blessing, "Miss Lin."

"Miss Bai is a person with real skills, so there is no need to be so polite."

Ming Tan smiled kindly, and pointed to the jute beside him, "I just heard from Uncle that you planted these?"

"It's a girl from the people."

Bai Lu nodded briskly, and admitted: "My father has been in bed for a long time, and Manager Liu of Huangzhuang refused to pay us to see a doctor... Therefore, the women were worried, so they didn't grow the wheat required by the village regulations. , but planted jute and tea, and sold them in the city for money, so that he could afford a doctor to treat my father."

She has the heart to do things for others, and she speaks very sincerely, without asking too much, she explained clearly the reason for planting other crops in violation of regulations.

"So it turns out that Miss Bai is really a filial person."

As the owner of Huangzhuang, Ming Tan didn't care about the other party's behavior, but directly prepared to enter the topic: "To tell you the truth, I asked uncle to lead the way to look for it. I really want to ask you about something."

"Miss Lin, but it's okay to say." Bai Lu nodded and said.

"Actually, my family's fields are just like the few fields outside. The wheat and grain we planted are almost useless," Ming Tan said. ...So, in desperation, I wanted to find an experienced farmer to help me investigate and find out the crux so that I can improve it in the future..."

"Similar to the conditions of the fields outside Huangzhuang?" Bai Lu raised her eyebrows, "It's probably also a matter of soil quality."

She made a "please" gesture and said with a smile: "If you are willing, why not tell Yu Minnv more details about the situation, and we can talk in detail in the courtyard?"

Ming Tan slightly turned his head, looked at Lin Shurong calmly, and said with a smile, "Okay."

She gestured to the following guards to stay outside, and she and Lin Shurong followed Bai Lu's footsteps, passed through the outermost fence and low wall, and came to the courtyard where the tenant farmers lived.

The small courtyard is not big, with a stone table and a few stone benches randomly placed in the center, and all kinds of agricultural tools are piled up on the side, including copper shovels, hoes, wooden plows, stone picks, etc., and the ground is evenly paved. According to Bai Lu, there is a mat for drying paper.

She put down the basket, said her sin, and then hurried into the room to wait on Father Bai who was lying in bed.Ming Tan didn't mind the negligence of the other party, and sat down at the stone table, only to find that there was a thick stack of paper on the table, and there seemed to be something drawn on the paper, like A blueprint for a farm implement.

Ming Tan became very interested, picked up a few sheets of paper, flipped through them, pulled out one of the pages, and waved to Lin Shurong: "Qingqing, come and see!"

Lin Shurong went there according to his words, and found that there was actually a waterwheel with exquisite structure drawn on this page. He couldn't help but let out a "huh" and looked at it carefully for a moment, "This system is very novel, and it has never been seen in the folk... Could it be that Miss Bai improved it by herself?"

"I think so."

Ming Tan tugged at her sleeve, and smiled wickedly, "Hey, I found a treasure! My Huangzhuang is saved!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "squeak" from the nearby hut.Bai Lu came out with a medicine bowl, and saw that they were flipping through her manuscript sketches, she couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "It's just something for fun, you can just look at it..."

"Is this just for fun?" Ming Tan shook his head, pointed to the blueprint in his hand, and said with a smile, "Miss Bai, don't underestimate yourself, you are really a natural agronomist!"

"...Ahem, you are serious."

Bai Lu's face was flushed, and she coughed twice because of being choked by herself. Just when she was about to continue to humble herself, there was a sudden noise outside the courtyard, which immediately stopped her from speaking.

"Damn girl! Don't hide! I know you're inside!"

The person who spoke had a lot of ostentation, and his tone was very fierce. He not only scolded but also threatened, "If you don't pay this year's grain tax, then don't blame me for being ruthless! —— After two days, I will come back to you!" Order someone to demolish your dilapidated house, and then throw your old and immortal father out, wrap it in a mat, bury it and pull it down! Save the land here!"

This scolding was so vicious that even Bai Lu was so angry that he threw the porcelain bowl on the ground and said angrily, "This dog official!"

She didn't even care about Mingtan and the two of them, she pushed the door open and rushed outside, rolled up her sleeves, and cursed back in a majestic manner: "Liu Papi, keep your mouth clean!"

Ming Tan glanced at Lin Shurong in astonishment, and after the latter nodded slightly at her, he followed Bai Lu together and walked out of the small courtyard together.

The atmosphere outside is tense.

With her hands on her hips and fierce eyebrows raised, Bai Lu pointed at the man's nose not far away and cursed: "You are not afraid of rotten tongue, and curse people's lives here for nothing, so why not let me cut it with a knife, saving you three days The two came to my house to make a big noise and disturb my father's peace!"

Ming Tan: "..."

Good guy, this scolding is worse than her blood.Much fishy.

Following the direction of Bai Lu's finger, Ming Tan turned his head to look, and saw a gorgeously dressed but very short man standing there, his lips trembled after being scolded, he blew his beard and stared and said, "Okay, how dare you Speak disrespectfully to court officials, and be careful with your head!"

"Pooh!"

Bai Lu spat harshly, then raised her head high, "What imperial order? He's just a dog in the Huangzhuang, who really takes himself seriously?"

"you you……"

Liu Shijin, the manager of the manor, was so scolded that his eyes were red, and he looked like he wanted to rush up to teach Bai Lu a lesson, but he was blocked by the guards brought by Ming Tan, so he could only jump on the spot: "Don't be crazy there! I tell you , if your Bai family still can't pay the food this month, then according to the rule of one tax per month on the village, I have the right to drive your father and you out of Huangzhuang—"

"One tax per month?"

A clear voice came from behind Bai Lu, Ming Tan took a step forward, stepped into the arena, and easily stunned Liu Shijin on the spot, "I don't know, when did Huangzhuang have such a regulation?"

This regulation is of course non-existent, it is just an excuse made up by Liu Shijin in order to appropriate the grain of the tenant farmers as his own.

But who knows, he was exposed on the spot by a person who had never seen him before, which made Liu Shijin furious, and immediately pointed the finger at Mingtan who spoke, shouting: "Who are you? I speak, Is there any part for you to intervene?!"

"Yo." Ming Tan sneered, and said meaningfully, "Director Liu is really a great official."

"This official is the official of the imperial court, and I have my own majesty!"

Liu Shijin put his hands behind his back, mung bean-sized eyes filled with wisdom, and sneered, "This is the Huangzhuang that His Majesty personally bestowed upon Princess Yonghui, and I am also the only person in charge in this Huangzhuang—huh, Yonghui Princess, do you know who it is? That is His Majesty's most beloved daughter!"

Mentioning this point, he seemed to be blessed to the heart, and the more he said it, the more he felt reasonable, and the more he said it, the more he felt confident, "You dare to be presumptuous to this official, which is equivalent to being disrespectful to Her Royal Highness! If this official is not magnanimous, you should be taken away now." Escorted to the government, and your crime will be punished, don't hesitate to thank you!"

Ming Tan: "..."

Ming Tan looked at him with a look like looking at a fool, and when he was about to speak, Bai Lu suddenly reached out and tugged at her sleeve, and persuaded in a low voice: "Miss Lin, don't be impulsive! This Liu Bapi is now It’s true, this Huangzhuang is indeed Princess Yonghui’s private property... It’s not necessarily without the princess’s permission that he can become the manager, so you must not offend him at will!”

Ming Tan: "???"

What?The princess ordered?

What princess, what do you mean?Why doesn't she know it herself?

"..."

Ming Tan turned his head away speechlessly, seeing Shang Lin Shurong's expression of wanting to smile or not, he suddenly felt a vein throbbing in his forehead.

"Stop watching the excitement!"

Ming Tan was so angry that he gritted his teeth, turned his head away, stared at Liu Shijin with cold eyes, and said angrily to Lin Shurong: "Qingqing, go and tell him who this princess is!"

Lin Shurong finally laughed, and took out an imperial badge from his waist, which was kept on behalf of others, with the two big characters "Yonghui" written on it, lit it up in Liu Shijin's direction, and said coldly: "How dare you speak rudely to Your Highness the Princess?" , I think, it should be your punishment, right?"

After saying that, she turned around and blessed Ming Tan deeply, and said in a respectful tone: "See Princess Yonghui. Your Royal Highness is a thousand years old——"

Several guards over there were also moved when they heard the sound, bowed their hands towards Ming Tan, bent down to salute, and said in unison: "His Royal Highness is a thousand years old!"

"...?!"

Bai Lu looked at the scene in front of her in shock, her voice trembling, "You...Miss Lin...?"

"I'm sorry, Miss Bai. I didn't tell you the truth just now. My surname is actually Ming." Ming Tan smiled slightly, pulled Lin Shurong in front of him, shrugged and said, "This is Miss Lin."

Bai Lu's face collapsed, obviously she hadn't recovered completely, "Then you are really...Princess Yong-Yonghui?"

"Is there still a fake?"

Ming Tan spread his hands to her, didn't say any more, but turned around, and looked at Liu Shijin, who seemed to have lost his soul, with a sneer.

The arrogant look of the latter just now disappeared, replaced by a sleepwalking expression on his face. It wasn't until his eyes came into contact with Ming Tan that he seemed to react suddenly, his knees softened, and he fell to his knees with a "plop" .

"Princess, Your Royal Highness..."

The waist badge flashed in front of his eyes, and there was an imprint of the jade seal on it, Liu Shijin couldn't help but not believe it.

He was so frightened that he fought back and forth, and kowtowed repeatedly to Mingtan, "The villain has eyes but doesn't know Mount Tai, that's why he ran into you... I beg Your Royal Highness to forgive me, and I beg the princess to give the villain a chance to repent!"

"Under the banner of my princess, oppressing the tenant farmers and greedy for food, how dare you dare to ask the princess for forgiveness?"

Ming Tan smiled coldly, and applauded mockingly, his tone was so calm that he seemed to be discussing today's weather, and pronounced Liu Shijin's ending lightly.

"Escort him down." She waved her hand in annoyance, "and drive him out of Huangzhuang together with his subordinates. Don't let me see anything related to this person again."

"Yes."

The guards took the order, looked at each other, reached out and lifted Liu Shijin by the back of his neck, like dragging a dead dog, and dragged him towards the gate of Huangzhuang.

And Liu Shijin, who is short in stature and naturally not the enemy of the guards, even lost his strength in struggling, and let them drag him along blankly, with tears running down his face, and his mind went blank——

Originally working as a steward in Huangzhuang, it was his father who worked hard and spent countless money, and then just obtained the official position for Liu Shijin.

And now...

Once he offends Princess Yonghui, his official career and future will all be in vain.
