Chapter 564 Going to work in the field
Chapter 564 Going to work in the field (thanks to the literary youth c for the reward)
The firewood was crackling and burning, and the light of the fire illuminated the dilapidated small house. Jiang Chengxiao sat aside, adding some dry wood to the firewood from time to time.The three little guys were sitting next to him in a row, staring at the roast pheasant and roe deer on the fire.
When they came back, Nan Jiyun led his men to sweep around the area and shot a few prey.
Jiang Chengxiao picked up the small clay pot at his feet, which contained lard, the oil squeezed from the fat skin of Ye Hao.
After the iron pot came out, it quickly became popular. Since then, dishes are no longer limited to steaming, boiling, and stewing. Various new dishes have also begun to appear with the advent of iron pots.
Holding a clean brush, dipped in lard, stretched out his hand to brush the oil on the barbecue, cut the skin of the meat with a knife from time to time, and sprinkled some salt, pepper, and soybean paste.
The flames froze, and the fragrance had already permeated the surroundings.The fat on the barbecue is illuminated by the fire, which is extraordinarily attractive.
"Gulu." The three little guys blinked and swallowed, unwilling to look away for a moment.
Inserting the knife into the stake, Jiang Chengxiao looked around. This is a homestay in the village, which is usually used for the officials of Sinong Temple to stay when they come to investigate.
But basically no officials are willing to live in the village, so it is a bit dilapidated.When he first arrived, Yuan Hong advised him to go to the inn in the city, but Jiang Chengxiao refused.
Many officials of Sinong Temple were a little worried that the king would anger them because of the dilapidation here, but in fact Jiang Chengxiao didn't say anything.
The more so, the more Jiang Chengxiao could feel the burden on himself.
If you stay away from the people, how do you know the suffering of the people?
It would be fine if they were officials in the center, but the same is true for these low-level officials, which is very worrying.
"Does your foot still hurt?" Jiang Chengxiao patted Jiang Heng's little head.
Jiang Heng shook his head, picked up the branch and put it into the fire.
"It doesn't hurt anymore."
"Daddy, when can we eat?" Jiang Ke asked from the side.
"Soon." Jiang Chengxiao responded, and then turned the grill again, turning the deer and pheasant over.
The lard dripped into the fire, making a 'chi chi chi chi' sound.
"Plowing the field today, do you have anything to say?" Jiang Chengxiao asked his three sons while brushing the barbecue with oil.
"It's more tiring than practicing martial arts." Jiang Ke said frankly.
Jiang Shirt nodded, and added: "We must eat well in the future."
Jiang Heng thought for a while, and said: "Master Yu said that the people are the most important thing, and we must love the people."
Jiang Chengxiao smiled and put down the clay pot, "Yes, the people are working very hard, so you have to remember that you must love the people in the future."
He also just mentioned a few points in real time. If you want to educate them well, you must do this often, otherwise they will soon forget.
Fortunately, the sons are still young, so they can take their time in the future.
After a cup of tea, Jiang Chengxiao saw that the fire was almost ready, so he reached out and picked up a knife to cut off a pheasant wing, put it in the clay pot that had been prepared, and handed it to Jiang Heng.
Jiang Heng held it in both hands and gave it to Jiang Shi first, then took another clay pot from his father to Jiang Ke, and finally he took a piece of meat and ate it with his head down.
Jiang Chengxiao cut a piece of roe deer meat, picked it up on the tip of the knife, sprinkled some green salt, and put it in his mouth in one bite.
The roasted meat is not bad, but the ingredients are a bit lacklustre, only the taste of salty and bean paste can be tasted.
"Is it delicious?" Jiang Chengxiao looked at the three sons who lowered their heads and gnawed on the meat.
The three little guys ate their mouths full of oil, Jiang Ke grabbed the pheasant leg and tore it vigorously, and Jiang Shirt also ate the pheasant wings with his mouth puffed out.Jiang Heng ate the meat in small bites, cleaner than his two younger brothers.
"A bit salty." Jiang Shirt licked the green salt on his lips.
"Delicious." Jiang Ke said.
Jiang Heng pursed his lips, "There is too much oil, and eating too much will make you feel uncomfortable."
"There are still some mustaches." Jiang Chengxiao gave them some more mustaches and asked them to eat them together.
Half an hour later, the three little guys were full.
When he was full, he felt drowsy. Jiang Shirt was young and fell asleep drowsily leaning on Jiang Chengxiao.
Jiang Heng and Jiang Ke also fell asleep lying on top of him.
Jiang Chengxiao fixed the three little guys, wrapped them in quilts, and sat next to them, holding the three with one arm, with his head next to Jiang Heng, and soon fell asleep with his eyes closed.
Seeing this, Nan Jiyun extinguished the charcoal fire, walked to the door and stood with a pillar of sword.
Outside the house, hundreds of elite cavalry wandered around.
A few days later, the five-character quatrain written by King Zhao called "Xi Liang" was passed on through an official of Sinong Temple who did not want to be named.
The scholars in Taiyuan were all excited, and they gathered together for a while to discuss this quatrain.
Above a restaurant, the scholars were talking about it daily.They first chatted about the general trend of the world, and after the chat, they mentioned the five-character quatrain "Xi Liang", and they were amazed for a while.
"The day of hoeing at noon, sweat dripping down the soil. These two sentences are the best written in my opinion. Although simple and easy to understand, they describe the shape, scene, shape, and description of the hard-working farmers and people. It is vivid and vivid. People read it, as if there is a scene in front of them."
The scholar in white said with emotion: "The king's poetic talent is beyond the reach of others. Although "Xi Liang" has few words, the meaning is true. If the king hadn't really gone deep into the fields, how could he understand the people's farming skills so well? It's a blessing, my king is so generous, and the people are blessed."
Another scholar said: "I like the last two sentences. The king enforced the ban on alcohol because he knows that food is hard to come by. The world is full of wars, so how can food be wasted."
When you glanced at me and said a word, the scholars all lamented that Wang Shangshi is very talented.
Jiang Chengxiao, who learned about this, blushed inexplicably, and then gave himself a thumbs up.
Well done!
Zhaowang Palace, Chuigong Hall.
Sitting kneeling in front of Jiang Chengxiao was Wang Hong. The latter looked quite free and easy today, with a faint smile on his face.
In Jiang Chengxiao's hand was a memorial, which was Wang Hong's voluntary resignation.He is no longer the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, but only temporarily acting as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.Resigning this time is actually resigning from the duty of 'temporary acting'.
But Jiang Chengxiao knew very well that Wang Hong was determined to withdraw from the court, otherwise he would not come to see him in person.
As usual, Jiang Chengxiao earnestly tried to persuade Wang Hong to stay, but the latter refused three times, and then Jiang Chengxiao wrote the word 'Zero' on the memorial.
"Gu is really reluctant to let the prince leave Gu." Jiang Chengxiao put down the ink brush and looked at Wang Hong affectionately.
"In the past, the Jin Dynasty was first restored, and a thousand wastes were waiting to be rejuvenated. Without the help of the Wang family, how could we be where we are today. The prince's contribution is indispensable."
Wang Hong smiled subtly, and comforted him: "Your Majesty, now that our dynasty is prosperous, talents are coming out in large numbers, and this old man is getting old, it's time for me to go home to raise my old age and entertain my grandchildren. Your Majesty must not be sad. , in the future, whenever the king calls, this old man will die."
Jiang Chengxiao nodded, "In the future, you will have to bother the prince."
The monarch and his ministers feel deeply, and others may think that all this is true when they see it.
After Wang Hong left Zhaowang Palace, an imperial edict followed and spread throughout the court and the public.Wang Hong, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was old, and the imperial court granted the titles of Da Sikong, Zijin Guanglu Doctor, and Wei Jungong, and he could enter the palace to meet the king at any time.
With the publicity of this imperial edict, everyone in the government and the public understands that the Wang family is about to withdraw from the court.Correspondingly, the post of Minister of the Ministry of Officials was officially vacant.
As another dismissed minister, Zheng Shanyuan, Minister of the Household Department, seemed worried at the moment.He was worried that he would also take the initiative to enter the palace and resign, because Wen Daya is now the servant of the household department.
Who can guarantee that King Zhao is not in the mood to let Wen Daya take over.
"Ugh."
In the study, Zheng Shanyuan looked at the empty teacup with a very downcast expression.He doesn't want to leave the court, at least not yet.
Zheng Renguo asked: "Father, what does the Queen Mother say?"
Now no one knows what King Zhao thinks, and they can only inquire about the news from the Queen Mother.
Zheng Shanyuan shook his head, "Some time ago, I entered the palace once for the purpose of choosing a concubine, so it's hard to find a chance to meet the Queen Mother."
"Why?"
"The Queen Mother doesn't seem to want to meddle in the affairs of the court. She just told me that everything is up to the king."
"The Queen Mother means that we don't care about our Zheng family?" Zheng Renguo frowned, how could she be the daughter of the Zheng family, why didn't she think about the family at all.
Zheng Shanyuan didn't say a word, in fact he was also somewhat dissatisfied with his daughter's attitude.
"Where is Guanyin, did she say anything?"
"No, since Concubine Xiao became pregnant, the king seldom went to Guanyin's place." Zheng Shanyuan showed a hostile look on his face.
He originally thought that after Avalokitesvara enters the palace, there will be the Queen Mother, not to mention being the most favored in the harem, but she will definitely not be left out in the cold.
But the actual situation slapped him in the face, Zheng Guanyin didn't seem to be very favored in King Zhao's heart.
"Guanyin is also incompetent." Zheng Renguo snorted coldly.
With the Queen Mother around, even the Xiao family can't compete for favor.
"Okay, let's wait and see what happens." Zheng Shanyuan pursed his lips and slowly closed his eyes.
Now, he can only wait for King Zhao's wishes.
