The next day, all the ministers dressed in regular clothes, tied up their loose sleeves and robes, and waited outside the palace gate early.
"Old Wang, look what this is?"
While waiting, the ministers were also chatting with each other.
When no one was paying attention, Zhang Han quietly touched Wang Ben's arm with his elbow, and mysteriously took out a small cloth bag from his arms.
"Huh? Are you still wearing clothes when you go to the fields for spring plowing?"
Wang Ben took a glance and didn't see anything like four, five, or six at all.
"What's that look in your eyes?"
Zhang Han curled his lips and quietly opened a corner of the small cloth bag to reveal the contents.
Big white buns!
"steamed stuffed bun……?"
Wang Ben raised his eyebrows and said, "When you go to the fields for spring plowing, what are you doing with these things?"
Looking at that bulging package, there must be at least a dozen.
No wonder this guy feels a lot fatter today.
It turned out that he was carrying a big bun!
"Hmph! What are you doing? You don't even think about it. We usually go home for breakfast after morning, three meals a day, and we don't miss a meal! Today we all came before dawn, at least we can have something to eat at noon! Again! Plus physical labor, are you sure you’re not hungry…?”
Zhang Han curled his lips and continued: "I guess it won't take more than an hour to get off the ground. I will be completely weak and my stomach is growling. Can I do it without replenishing my strength? I don't want to be hungry until noon!"
"Yeah! That makes sense! Working in the fields consumes your energy, and you do get hungry faster...!"
After his explanation, Wang Ben suddenly understood and immediately reached into his arms to dig out, "We will share half of it during the meeting. How much do you carry these things? Share them with me quickly and I will help you share them!"
"Stop! What you think is beautiful! This was just steamed in my house this morning, and it's still hot!"
Zhang Han covered his chest very stingily and refused to give him life or death.
"Lao Zhang! I know you are stingy, but you can't be so stingy! Are you reluctant to eat a few of your buns? Let's do it! You divide it between two, and it's enough! I'll send someone to pay you back twenty!"
Wang Ben tried hard to break his hand covering his chest, but the guy was holding it tightly and refused to let go.
"Quickly pull it down! This thing is only good for today. What's the use of returning it to me later? A certain mansion still lacks those buns of yours?"
"If you don't give me points, why do you want me to watch it?"
Seeing that this guy was refusing to give him life or death, Wang Ben flicked his sleeves and rolled his eyes at him.
"I just let you take a look, but I didn't tell you to share it! If I give you one, and then give another to Lao Meng and Lao Kang, what will I have left?"
Zhang Han touched the big buns in his arms very stingily.
At this moment, the palace door opened, and Ying Zheng and Ying Feiyu's cars slowly drove out, followed by many soldiers!
"Okay, okay, Your Majesty is here! Let's talk about it later!"
Zhang Han just wanted to show off to Wang Ben, but he really didn't expect him to ask for it.
It happened that His Majesty had already left the palace and everyone was about to set off. Wang Ben could not continue to speak!
"Is that the Emperor's car? The Emperor actually went with him?"
"Yeah! I didn't expect that either!"
"The Emperor's move is also to inspire the people...!"
No one expected that Ying Zheng, who had already reached the Zen throne, would also accompany him this year and go out of the city to participate in spring plowing together.
The two cars were followed by dozens of carriages.
It was vast and powerful.
As long as the people passing by, they all stopped to watch!
In order to save energy for the ministers, the farmland for spring plowing this year was chosen not far outside Xianyang City.
In this way, after the ministers had finished plowing the fields and were tired for a day, they could not walk far before entering the city!
In less than half an hour, all vehicles had stopped.
The people from the household department began to move seeds down from the carriage.
This year's seeds seem to be much more than last year's.
When the ministers saw it, their hearts froze and their legs were shaking!
"This...this...can't be right?"
"With so many seeds, how long do we have to plant them?"
"Yes! I really miss the time when the Supreme Emperor was on the throne!"
"Who says it's not the case! At that time, it was enough for us to just walk around twice symbolically! But now it's better, His Majesty really treats us as farmers...!"
The bags of seeds really frightened the ministers.
But even if they get frightened again, there's nothing they can do, they can't escape this disaster!
Fortunately, it only lasted one day, so I gritted my teeth and got through it.
The ministers can only think this way and give themselves some psychological comfort!
"It doesn't matter, these seeds were completed by all our colleagues together! Let's walk slower later, so we can be lazy more!"
"Yes! That's what I think too! We are already old. Even if our physical strength is not as good as those of the younger ones, Your Majesty can't say anything!"
"That's right! There are many young people who have just taken office in the past few years. They should really be given more experience...!"
Several older ministers began to think about cheating and tricking the young people to do more.
"Your Majesty, I'm tired of driving a tractor. How about letting an old minister do the work for you this year?"
After all the seeds were removed, Zhang Han rolled his eyes and suddenly raised his hand.
"Look, it's not just us who want to be lazy, doesn't Zhang Han do the same?"
"No! Driving a tractor is much better than sowing seeds in the fields!"
"Of course, this old guy is an old fox! He just had such a good job, and he took it away!"
"Look at how smart he is! On the surface, it's to make His Majesty feel more relaxed, but in fact, isn't it just to be lazy?"
"That's right! Even if His Majesty is so happy, he can still choose the easiest job! How is it like us? We have to walk on this yellow land for a whole day, and our feet will be bruised with blood blisters!"
"Alas...! There's nothing we can do, why are we slow to respond!"
When the ministers heard this, they all started to roll their eyes at him and mumbled dissatisfiedly.
"Okay! I'll leave the job of driving the tractor to plow the land to you! I'll drive another tractor and use the rotary tiller to turn over all the land!"
Ying Feiyu agreed directly without even thinking about it.
Even if the old guy didn't say anything, he still had to find someone who knew driving skills to drive.
It is impossible for him to do both of these tasks by himself.
Even if it could, it would be a waste of time!
"Rotary tiller? And rotary tiller?"
“What is a rototiller?”
"When I came here, I was wondering why there was a strange machine next to the tractor...!"
Many ministers have no contact with agriculture.
Since the production of rotary tillers has just begun, the output has not increased, so it has not been widely publicized in newspapers.
Only those people who go to the cooperative to reserve a tractor can know!
Therefore, this is definitely something new for those ministers!
"Your Majesty, is this a rotary tiller?"
Wang Ben also suddenly became interested.
I've only heard of it before, but haven't actually seen it yet!
"That's right...!"
Ying Feiyu nodded firmly, "The land will become very hard after being cultivated for many years! If there is a drought, it will become lumpy, which is not conducive to the growth of crops! And the rotary cultivator, driven by the tractor, can break up all the land. It becomes very soft, which is conducive for crops to take root and grow!"
"In addition, the rotary tiller can also break up last year's grass roots and roots left after harvesting crops, mix them with the soil, and turn them into fertilizer to promote the growth of this year's crops!"
"Oh? It's so magical?"
Wang Ben was shocked when he heard the sound.
The same goes for the ministers present.
"The reason why we were so tired last year was because we had to separate some people to dig out the remaining corn roots from last year, which wasted a lot of energy!"
"That's not all! Not only do you dig it out, but you also have to pick out all the roots with clods of soil, which makes me exhausted!"
"With this rotary cultivator this year, I think we can feel a lot more relaxed!"
"yes……!"
Knowing the role of the rotary tiller gave the ministers a little hope.
At least there is a little light in my eyes!
"Besides this, I plan to hold another farming competition this year! If two people work together, and under the premise of ensuring quality, I will reward all the top ten!"
Spring plowing is to encourage people to farm.
The location for spring plowing this year was chosen relatively close, and many people must have come to watch.
If the ministers have a lazy attitude, it will not have any encouraging effect.
That's why he came up with this idea to inspire the ministers!
