Chapter 282: Only by sparing no effort to criticize Li Shimin can he be worthy of his salary!
Two hours later, this lively farmers' aid meeting finally came to an end.
The most eye-catching one is naturally the big humanoid animal Yuchi Gong.
Not only did he harvest all the wheat in his own section early, but he also helped Li Shimin and Xu Fenglei cut their two sections clean, which won high praise from the emperor and Duke Xu!
Several other generals, unwilling to lag behind others, also achieved outstanding results.
The remaining ministers were basically just doing their jobs. Even Wei Zheng, who had always been meticulous, was exhausted after a hundred steps and chose to lie down.
"I, Wei Zheng, am so virtuous and capable. I can earn a living without having to farm or work!"
He lay on the wheat field panting and sighed,
"Your salary and salary are all due to the blessings of the people..."
"Wei Xuancheng, Wei Xuancheng, you must be worthy of this salary!"
At this moment, Wei Zheng had already made up his mind -
In addition to doing your job well, you must also spare no effort to criticize Li Shimin and help the emperor's gains and losses!
Like him, all the ministers were lying on the golden wheat field, feeling more or less enlightened.
How can they dare to sit back and enjoy their achievements with peace of mind when the people are still facing so many hardships? !
The slightest trace of laziness due to the meritorious service of the dragon has disappeared at this moment, and the ambition to rule the country and bring peace to the world is burning in my heart again!
"Noble man, noble man!"
The old farmer almost burst into tears when he looked at the bundles of harvested wheat straw in front of him!
He looked at Yuchi Gong and said with great gratitude:
"This harvest has completed the old man's three days' work!"
"Has the noble man married his wife?"
Yuchi Gong glared.
"Do I look like a bachelor? Old man!"
He hummed,
"There are already several mothers-in-law!"
The old farmer nodded happily and bowed hurriedly:
"Yes, yes, a strong man like Guiren should marry more wives!"
"Thank you very much, old man, thank you very much..."
After hearing this, Yuchi Gong grinned, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and looked at Li Shimin expectantly.
"Your Majesty, I have worked so hard, what can you reward me with?"
He said cheerfully.
If Li Shimin hadn't drawn a big pie, he wouldn't be so diligent, right?
Li Shimin laughed, turned to look at Xu Fenglei, and joked:
"Jingde is indeed a good harvester! With this example, you can become a great farmer!"
"Listen clearly, what do you think we should reward him with?"
Xu Fenglei raised his eyebrows and glanced at Yuchi Gong.
"Jingde is a drunkard."
He smiled and said,
"Why don't Your Majesty make him a model worker of the Tang Dynasty, give him a few jars of fine wine, and tell him to go home and drink to his heart's content?"
When Yuchi Gong heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"well!"
He continued,
"Your Majesty, I have heard that there is a lot of fine wine hidden in the palace. They are all fine wines left over from the Sui Dynasty."
"You can't fool me! You have to give me the best!"
Li Shimin glared: "Am I such a stingy person? Just wait at home tonight, and I will send someone to bring you wine to ensure that you are drunk until you die!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty! Hahaha..."
Yuchi Gong wiped his mouth, laughed heartily, and glanced at Cheng Yaojin casually, feeling extremely proud.
"This naughty grandson..." Cheng Yaojin spat secretly, moaning and groaning, not to mention how uncomfortable he was.
This humiliating defeat was enough to deprive him of food for three days!
"His Majesty."
Xu Fenglei stood up and said,
"It's getting late, we should go back."
Li Shimin glanced at the sky and nodded immediately.
"It's time to go back. I said I was helping the farmers, but in fact I just spent half a day playing here and disturbing the people's wheat harvest."
He stood up slowly, wiped the dust off his body, and said with emotion,
"It is necessary to help farmers. This is to set an example for farmers all over the world! It is also a spur to me and the officials! But it should not be too frequent. Once or twice a year is enough."
"Everyone must be tired too... let's go back to Chang'an!"
With a wave of his hand, he drove back to the palace!
When the ministers heard this sentence, they felt as if they had been granted amnesty. They breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly got up and crossed the river.
Let's go, let's go back and put on the plaster!
The princes and princesses were already lying on the wheat fields and fell asleep from exhaustion.
"Hoo, ho--"
Little chubby Li Tai snored and slept soundly.
"I have started snoring at a young age, which is a hidden danger..."
Xu Fenglei curled his lips and said,
"We have to find a chance for him to lose weight, um..."
Li Tai, who was having a sweet dream, did not realize at this moment that his nightmare had begun under the guidance of his master...
"This time, the children are really tired..."
Changsun Wuguo said distressedly.
"But what they gained today was much more than usual."
Xu Fenglei answered with a smile,
"Believe it or not, in a few days they will remember today's hard work, miss today's scorching sun and the sweet fragrance of wheat in the fields."
"Even when they're adults, it's still a great memory and a big part of their childhood."
When the eldest grandson Wuji heard this, his brows stretched.
"yes……"
She whispered,
"Children always have endless energy and will recover in two days. Today's hard work may be fun for them!"
"You can take them out more often. I don't have a complete childhood, but I want to give them a complete childhood."
Her childhood memories include the early death of her father, the meanness of her half-brother, and the experience of being kicked out of the house on a stormy night...
Every time he recalls these things, Changsun Wujia feels sad.
As a parent, I naturally don’t want my children to be exposed to the pain and suffering I have experienced.
"Don't worry, I will do it."
Xu Fenglei said seriously.
The eldest grandson Wugou nodded slightly. No answer.
I saw him walking forward and holding the young Li Lizhi in his arms.
"Someone is coming."
She waved and said,
"Put the princes into the carriage and take them back to the palace."
Several sturdy palace maids stepped forward, each picked up one of them, and crossed the stream with steady steps.
After all, Li Qingquan was much older. When she heard the movement beside her, she woke up and turned around. She rubbed her eyes, looked at Xu Fenglei, and said blankly:
"Master?"
"Go back." Xu Fenglei grinned and said, "Go back and sleep again. I heard from the palace servants that you have had some insomnia recently. I wanted to mix some calming incense for you, but it seems that it is not necessary now. You will definitely be able to breathe loudly today. sleep."
Li Qingquan's face turned slightly red.
"Thank you, Master, for your concern. I, I'm going back..."
She climbed up from the straw and hurriedly chased Changsun Wugou.
"Uncle, little sister, see you later."
Xu Fenglei waved to the old farmer and his daughter and said with a smile,
"Thank you for your cooperation. See you soon."
"As for nobles, it's the old man who needs to thank you..." The old farmer dared not say.
After the old man and the young man bowed their hands, he left calmly.
The living man swish swish and pick up his pen.
The emperor was helping farmers in the suburbs, and the prince, princes, princesses, and ministers were all working in the wheat fields. The prince's young master Xu Gong said, "Your salary is your salary, and the people care about you. The people are easy to abuse, but the heaven is hard to bully." The emperor was overjoyed, and ordered Fang Fang Gong Qiao spread the decree to the world and set up a sixteen-character stele in the government offices of the roads, counties, prefectures, and counties to serve as police officers and the province itself. Everyone at home is happy to hear it, and foreign guests are impressed by it.
This day is also designated as the day when the emperor helps farmers. One help a year, never comes easy.
