Xiao Houye's seven-year imperial examination and five-year road to Kaifeng[75]

The whole city became lively because of the arrival of the King of Xiangyang, which was unprecedented. At the same time, the supplies that needed to be adjusted suddenly skyrocketed, because Zhao Jue has always been generous, and if he works for him, can he still starve the workers?

Although there are only a few big cities nearby that have pig farms, Zhao Jue's hand told them that those live pigs and all kinds of pork-related food should be sent to Xiangyang. It is estimated that these people have never seen in this life Been so many pork dishes.

Every day on the construction site, there are large buckets carried by carts, and then everyone holds rice and vegetables in bowls, such as braised lion head, fried pork, pork and cabbage stewed vermicelli, pork ball soup, braised pork Wait, the smell that wafts from the construction site every day makes the nearby people cry, and they only hate that they are not workers on this construction site.

This kind of thing happens every day in Xiangyang City, just because there are construction sites for Zhao Jue everywhere, and the strong laborers who come here come from all over the world. When the farming season is busy, they will be sent back without any delay. down to business.

After all, in everyone's mind, food is the top priority.

For example, in the land belonging to Zhao Jue within Xiangyang City, all the sweet potatoes, potatoes and corns were planted. I believe that the people of King Xiangyang also planted them, especially the nearby barren hills and wasteland. Zhao Jue sent people to After buying it, a team of more than 5000 people will open up wasteland for him if he has nothing to do.

Not to mention, they are not necessarily good at fighting, but they are good at farming. 5000 people are really too many. Basically, those wastelands can be settled in half a day, and they are fertilized by the way, and then they plant potatoes and sweet potatoes.

As for the barren hills, all kinds of fruit trees and even walnut trees were planted, which Pang Yu liked.

Pang Ji was making complaints while instructing people to plant trees. It was Lao Tzu who worked so hard to plant trees, but his name belonged to the prince. Angry!

What could be done, he couldn't resist.

"Wow, are there so many trees? Will there be fruit to eat next year?" Pang Yu followed Zhao Jue over to inspect, and asked curiously after hearing his father's introduction that the barren hill was full of fruit trees.

Don't blame him for asking such a stupid question. People in the city have never seen real fruit trees. At most, they have seen ornamental mangoes planted by the roadside, and jujube trees in their hometown. They have never seen saplings.

"That's not enough, it may take two or three years." Pang Ji shook his head and said, although he couldn't bear his son's disappointment, he couldn't talk nonsense.

"Oh..." Pang Yu was not disappointed. After all, people who ate a lot of strange fruits in later generations were not very interested in ordinary fruits. It was not as convenient to eat fruits in ancient times as in later generations.

Especially the seasonal fruit, unless it is local, it is almost impossible to eat it from other places, and it has already rotted before it is shipped.

Pang Yu had seen all kinds of stories about transporting fruits from the south in ancient times, not to mention the lychees of Concubine Yang Guifei in the Tang Dynasty, which were directly written into the poem, and everyone who knew it knew it.

There are several means of transportation, such as boats for water and horses for land, which is not practical in the Song Dynasty. Horses are much more expensive than fruits, and the cost is too high to afford!

The final method is to transplant, put the roots and soil together in a tank, and send it directly like this, it is a waste fruit tree. After all, it will be almost useless after this time. Do you still expect this fruit tree to survive in another environment?

Even if you barely survive, don't expect it to blossom and bear fruit, you will only express your dissatisfaction with the climate, we are not suitable!

Reluctantly is no happiness!

Therefore, if the ancients wanted to eat fruits from other places, they had to be as rich as an enemy, or they could only think about it. Even if the royal family dared not do this, no one could afford it.

Even if the officials wanted to eat it, as long as he didn't want to be sprayed to death by Yushi's saliva, he wouldn't dare to do so. As for letting the concubines take the blame, the concubines can only say goodbye!

No one wants to be scolded, let alone the concubines of the official family and their natal families. If you say this, good guy, do the sisters of the natal family still want to get married?

In ancient times, reputation was very important, especially for a big family. Only people with a good reputation would come to ask for marriage. The elders of the family could not allow their children to ruin their reputation like this, even if they were an official woman!

This official family is definitely the most aggrieved emperor in history. Anyway, as long as he doesn't want to be called a fool, he will be wanted to waste manpower and material resources, even if he has money.

After all, the wealth that the old Zhao family had accumulated for an unknown number of years belonged to him alone. Just because the courtiers were in charge of things, he didn't dare to spend money recklessly.

So his younger brother ran away from home and went to the fief, thinking how pitiful his younger brother is, alone in Xiangyang, no way!Gotta send another batch over there!

Zhao Jue didn't know what his brother had thought up. Anyway, after he arrived in Xiangyang, he had already received three batches of supplies from his brother in just two months. Although he didn't dislike it, the letter from his own brother was very strange. weird.

He was also asked to write no less than three sheets of paper to reply each time, and he was tired. He would rather his brother not bring him something, he didn't want to write a letter!

Pang Yu wrote a three-page reply very seriously, and also attached a three-page letter to his sister, such as what he saw and heard along the way. The style and appearance of Xiangyang City were all written for his sister. As for the letters to the officials, they naturally praised the young man crazily, and he did not forget to flatter the officials.

Zhao Jue: Why is my cub so flattering?

What kind of flattery did Pang Yu express, it was all from his own true feelings!

He even wrote letters to his mother and grandparents, the younger brother is fine, he doesn't need to write if he can't read.

Pang Ji was almost jealous, and he didn't speak to his son a few times here. This kid sent such a thick stack of letters to his family, and he still had an ominous premonition.

Facts have proved that his premonition was not wrong at all. After more than half a month, he received letters from his mother and wife. The thickness was comparable to that sent by Pang Yu to them, but they were all scolding him, saying It's fine that he didn't take good care of his son, but he wasn't as caring as his son, and didn't even send them a word, so he scolded him for a long time.

Pang Ji felt that he had been wronged. He was so busy every day that he almost didn't touch the ground. He couldn't see his son, and in the end he was scolded.

Compared with his father's grievances, Pang Yu happily went out with Zhao Jue. It was already June and July, and it would be hot if he didn't go out.

In addition, there are no weird old men here, so Zhao Jue decided to take the cubs out to play. As for Pang Yu's father, Pang Ji, let's continue to work honestly. After all, his brother asked Pang Ji to come, isn't it? Value his ability to work.

In this way, Pang Yu ruthlessly abandoned his father, went out happily, and spent all day studying in the mansion, or drawing pictures, he almost vomited. The future books that he exchanged back then, without a teacher, he could only grope for it by himself. The relatively clear pictures in the book, no matter what, he can still copy them. As for how to make them, let those craftsmen figure it out. What does it have to do with him?

Relying on his memory, not to mention 100% anyway, at least [-]% to [-]% are completely drawn, thank you for not losing the painting skills in the previous life.

To rely entirely on the original body's skills, he could only choose to lie flat.

The craftsmen in Xiangyang City are going crazy. Those who are good at different fields receive different sketches. After some simple descriptions, let them have a headache.

The weather was fine, and Zhao Jue was riding in a carriage. In fact, he took Pang Yu out for an outing, which was no different from going out for inspection.

The sweet potatoes and other plants that were planted before have grown gratifyingly. Sitting in the carriage, they can see a lush scene in the field. Pang Yu is very pleased to see it. people will decrease.

If you want to increase the population, it is very important for the people to have enough food and clothing. If you can’t guarantee a living, how can you increase the population?

"You look so good." Pang Yu said with a smile while lying on the window.

"Yeah, I want to thank that white bearded grandfather of yours." Zhao Jue said, looking at him amusedly.

"Yeah, I hope I can dream about my grandfather a few more times, and give me more good things." Pang Yu thought that there are still a lot of seeds.

"We can't be so greedy. It's good to have these things." Zhao Jue touched the boy's forehead and said, "Trust me."

"Well, I believe Brother Jue." Hearing this, Pang Yu probably guessed that the young man was worried about himself. It seems that now he can no longer bring out those things that he has and does not have.

But when he grows up, as long as he finds a good excuse, he can rationalize whatever he takes out, and he is still too young now.

When will I grow up...

Apart from studying, childhood is very happy, but it is often inconvenient. Of course, if he grows up too fast, it is not good, then there is no reason to follow the boy.

It is really difficult to advance, and it is also difficult to retreat.

"Frowning at a young age, be careful to become a little old man." Zhao Jue poked Pang Yu's eyebrows and said.

The frightened Pang Yu covered his forehead, but he remembered that he often made frown movements, which made his forehead prone to wrinkles, which was so ugly!

As a face controler, while he likes to see good-looking people and things, he doesn't want to look ugly. Fortunately, he is still good-looking in this world.

According to his experience, as long as you don't grow crooked, you can always be beautiful!

However, according to the memory of the original body, he was quite good-looking before the age of 20, but after the age of 20, he let himself go, the longer and more disabled, nonsense, his body was hollowed out by alcohol and sex in his twenties, it is difficult not to want to be disabled .

He would never do this. Pang Yu was not the kind of person who was greedy for drinking. As for sex, I'm sorry, he doesn't like girls.

Compared with soft and waxy girls, he prefers boys who are more solid. He was like that in his previous life, but he was timid and didn't dare to tell his family, so he gritted his teeth and remained a bachelor.

People in later generations are more tolerant of male bachelors than females, so his preferences are not exposed. It is impossible for him to harm other girls, and he cannot deceive himself, so he can only be so exhausted.

It's really hard to fall in love at first sight. It's hard for both men and women, let alone men. Pang Yu never found someone he fell in love with at first sight in his previous life, and he didn't want to let it go.

In this life, I have grown up on aesthetics, but...

Well, being single is fine.

Pang Yu didn't think about harming anyone, so let's repay the merit first. Not only is he not a blank slate, but he is also a black mascot.

If it weren't for the cheating of the system, which cost him [-] points that he had worked so hard to accumulate, now that he has been buried in the ground for a long time, he still thinks about a partner.

"Is it going to rain?" Pang Yu couldn't help asking when he saw Heiyun out of the corner of his eye.

"Really, the weather was fine when we came out." The captain of the guard was speechless, why did it rain when they went out?

This inspection work is only half done, and the rain is not light. This man can bear it, and the horse can't bear it, so we can only find a place to shelter from the rain. Of course, because it is harmful to the ruined temple or something In the shadows, they found the home of a fellow villager in a nearby village.

The fellow villagers are very enthusiastic, and the guards refused to entertain them with hot tea. No matter how enthusiastic they are, they will never take another bite of something handed over by others, even if they didn’t eat anything in Nalanruo Inn. I understand everything.

Although the villagers were surprised by these young people, they didn't think much about it. Since they didn't use it, they put it away.

The elder sister of the court lady who followed here only brought one out this time, and even the bodyguard only brought the head of the bodyguard. Zhao Jue went out quietly, and it was too obvious to mobilize the crowd.

The maid took out the small stove on the carriage and made tea for Zhao Jue, only then did the villagers realize that this must be the young master of a rich family, and he was not used to drinking their food.

"Daddy, I've made some dim sum, and I'll give it to the nobles." The fellow's daughter came out with a plate of dim sum, just in time to meet the fellow and said.

"It's better not to go, noble people should not be used to it." The fellow remembered being rejected by Zhao Jue and the others just now, thinking that the other party would not eat such rough things in the countryside.

"If you don't send it, how will you know whether the nobleman is used to eating or not." His daughter didn't listen, she only thought that what she did was the best.

"Hey, you girl." The fellow shook his head helplessly when he saw that he couldn't help it. He was just such a girl, what could he do.

Soon the little lady came into the guest room with the snacks, and said openly, but her eyes were fixed on Zhao Jue, "I have met you, sir, this is the snacks I made with my own hands, I bring it here for everyone to taste .”

"Thank you, little lady, for your kindness, but our lord won't eat after lunch." The captain of the guard stopped in the middle, blocking the little lady's eyes, joking, this girl stared at their lord's eyes, what can I do if I annoy the lord.

"That's such a pity. The dim sum I make is famous and delicious in our village." The little lady looked unwilling to give up, and peeked at Zhao Jue. Who made Zhao Jue look so handsome, compared to this country young man? I don't know how much higher in appearance and bearing.

It's no wonder that the little lady looks like she has never seen the world. The captain of the guard is both proud and worried that their prince will be angry.

"Sister, you are very rude." Pang Yu was not happy anymore. There are always people staring at his boy with hooked eyes. It is strange for him to be happy.

"Why am I being rude?" The little lady was upset. She was the only daughter in the family and was raised by the old man, but suddenly she was called rude by a hairy child, and she immediately pulled her face down. "Is it wrong for me to invite you to eat snacks?"

"That's right, that's right." The captain of the guard saw that the little girl was getting emotional, but he didn't want to tear his face, so he could only comfort him first.

The little lady was immediately happy when she heard what the captain of the guard said, and she didn't forget to make a face at Pang Yu.

"Then you're saying I'm wrong?" How could Pang Yu bear this?Since he crossed over, unless he had to worry about God taking his life, who had he been afraid of?

"Xiao Langjun, you are right." How dare the captain of the guard offend Pang Yu, not to mention that Pang Yu is a celebrity in front of the prince, and say one sentence to him, his father is still doing a good job in Xiangyang City of.

"Let her go out, it's a headache from the noise." The elder sister of the palace lady was also annoyed, chatting with a little country girl.

The captain of the guard is good at everything, except that he is soft on girls, but when he saw the look in Zhao Jue's eyes, he immediately became more sympathetic, and ordered the little lady to be chased away, "Our lord doesn't like being disturbed, Please."

Seeing that even this talkative gentleman chased her away, the little lady stomped her feet, "You are in my house!"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the four people present were not good-looking, especially the captain of the guard was dumbfounded, boy, how did you say this?They didn't hide from the rain for nothing, did they give them money?

"Let's go." Zhao Jue didn't want to talk nonsense, so he got up and hugged Pang Yu, anyway, the rain outside was light.

"Hey, you're really leaving!" The little lady cried out in surprise when she saw the four leaving quickly.

It's a pity that no one pays attention to her. Zhao Jue is too lazy to argue with this ignorant brat, and Pang Yu thinks it's meaningless. Just now, he was mentally handicapped when he confronted her just now.

Lying on the boy's shoulder, with the captain of the guard holding an umbrella on one side, Pang Yu made a face at the little girl.

The lady-in-waiting sister who was following beside her suppressed her laughter, who can say that their young masters are wrong?He's just an eight-year-old kid.

When the fellow found out, the captain of the guard had already left in the carriage. Because it was raining, Zhao Jue allowed the maids to enter the carriage, so as not to get caught in the rain with the captain of the guard. The worst would be the captain of the guard.

"Why are people leaving?" The fellow asked with a puzzled expression, while his daughter went back to her room with a dark face.

I don't understand at all, so I can only close the door.

In the carriage, Pang Yu tilted his head and stared at Zhao Jue's face. No wonder the little girl looked at Zhao Jue's face in a daze. During this time, the maids around her are not allowed to stare at their faces.

What's more, their prince's temper is really bad, and only the palace people understand how powerful Zhao Jue is, no one will take the initiative to make trouble, unless they are new to the palace and don't have long-term eyes and thoughts.

Basically, those who were in front of Zhao Jue were the old people who took care of him. It was this lady-in-waiting elder sister, who didn't look obvious, but was actually about to leave the palace.

I know all the rules that I should know, and most people only see Zhao Jue's good temper towards Pang Yu, so they really think Zhao Jue has a good temper?

Zhao Jue's patience in this life was probably only given to Pang Yu, oh, and the prince who died young.

It is impossible for others to get a look from the prince!

Like that little lady's behavior, why didn't the maid say anything? She has seen such people a lot, and there are countless little palace ladies who were thrown out of the palace a few years ago.

Coupled with the fact that their prince has become more and more provocative in recent years, there will only be more and more women like this.

Originally, Pang Yu wouldn't mind meddling, but the girl's eyes were too straightforward. He was really worried that the boy would get angry, so he took the initiative to provoke him. Of course, it is undeniable that he really didn't like people staring at her like that. Looking at the boy, trying to hide it!

"Brother Jue is so pretty." Pang Yu said with a smile on his face when Zhao Jue turned to look at him.

"Like it?" Zhao Jue raised his eyebrows. Is the cub beginning to understand beauty and ugliness?

If Pang Yu knew what the young man was thinking, he would definitely refute it. How could he not understand beauty and ugliness.

"Yes, I like Brother Jue the most." Pang Yu nodded seriously.

"Yeah, I like you too." Zhao Jue patted the cub's head, and only hoped that the cub would stay the same. He didn't like adults' intrigues, and he also hated children's messing around.

Pang Yu perfectly avoided the things that adults disliked him, as well as the things that children disliked him, he was really a perfect good boy.

I really want to shoot someone's claws!

What kind of head touching, don't you know that a man's head can't be touched!

And this answer was so perfunctory that Pang Yu didn't even want to complain about him.

Not long after running out of the village, the rain stopped, which made the captain of the guard speechless. If he had known, he would not have gone to the fellow's house. It was a big loss for that woman to peek at their lord for nothing!

Because it rained and the road was slippery, I finally decided to go back to the city helplessly. After all, it was raining and there was no fun.

Pang Yu suggested that in a few days when the weather is good, they should go to Guolin for team building, and it would be boring for just a few of them to come out to play.

After thinking about it, Zhao Jue agreed. After all, he has been busy for several months, and it is indeed time for everyone to rest, especially if one person is used by several people.

As soon as they returned to the city, Pang Ji knew about it, but he didn't expect to receive a notice that he could rest in a few days, tears filled his eyes!Can finally rest!

When he was in Bianjing, he still had Muxiu, but here he is no different, he is not much different from the old scalper, but the people around him are full of energy, which makes him seem a bit out of place when he wants to rest.

There's no way, since he's just here, it's not easy for him to be so out of gregarious, what else can he do, of course, continue to work hard.

In a few months, the factory made water pipes and then laid them underground. Although they didn't quite understand what the purpose was, they were still completed seriously. Passers-by saw it and thought it was a little weird.
