Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 681 I Dig and Dig and Dig in the Rice Fields (Please Subscribe!)

At five o'clock in the morning, the officials got up early, first went to the palace of Nanchang Mansion, and after Zhu Kezang was ready, they drove to the rice fields in the suburbs together.

The three four-wheeled carriages were filled with important court officials and local civil servants in Nanchang Prefecture. Zhu Kezang and his father-in-law Chen Yonghua sat together, chatting with smiles on their faces while looking at the scenery outside.

"Qinshe, at my age, I still have to go to the fields to harvest rice, and return the five acres of land. Isn't that killing me?"

Chen Yonghua did not wear official uniforms today, but simple peasant clothes, obviously ready to go to the fields to work hard.

"Father-in-law, don't worry, how can I make my own people tired? When the time comes, you can drive the steam harvester and walk back and forth in the rice field, and the rice will be harvested!"

Zhu Kezang said confidently, patted his chest.

He started this activity today to punish some civil servants in Nanchang Prefecture.

Through Jin Yiwei's information, Zhu Kezang discovered that some unrepentant civil officials intentionally or unintentionally blocked the promotion of large-scale machine production in the Poyang Lake Plain.

Can Zhu Kezang bear this?

It would be Zhu Kezang's kindness not to punish them for the crime of hindering the development of Ming Dynasty!

As a cyber-steampunk empire, Zhu Kezang is obliged to teach these lost civil servants well.

"I've seen those people upset for a long time. They don't do anything every day, and they just know how to make trouble."

"What kind of ingenuity? Without steam engines and new technologies, our Ming Dynasty would be able to have a bumper harvest every year?"

Yang Ying, the Minister of the Household Department in the car, was also complaining about the civil servants of Nanchang Mansion.

"Yes, people who say that they use machines are lazy, but I want to see how diligent those people are."

When Chen Yonghua heard this, he immediately laughed happily, and then stroked his white beard.

"Some people want to experience the hardships of ordinary people."

"Otherwise, they would think that the rice grew out of the bowl."

Zhu Kezang smiled and agreed.

In recent years, the new Ming Dynasty has developed too fast, and the thinking of some civil servants cannot keep up with the development of Ming Dynasty!
This is not Zhu Kezang's wild thinking, but above the imperial court, there is no problem with the Yingtian Central Committee, and there are indeed some civil servants in the local government who don't know the grain and don't work hard!
They always feel that they are scholars who are superior, and ordinary people, including workers and farmers, should be exhausted and should be their cattle and horses.

This part of civil servants prides themselves on being noble, but they know nothing and don't understand anything!

I thought that I would be able to govern the country if I could write a few beautiful articles, but if I didn't get reused, I felt that I was underappreciated, and I made irresponsible remarks and pointed fingers at people who really did practical things!
In the next step, Zhu Kezang planned to remove these civil servants from the civil service ranks of Ming Dynasty.

For example, during the year-end assessment, test more scientific knowledge!
"Haha, I think they will have a new understanding soon."

Thinking of the scene waiting for the meeting, Zhu Kezang couldn't help laughing immediately.

Woohoo!

Accompanied by the sound of the siren, Zhu Kezang drove the steam harvester down the paddy field, walked back and forth in the paddy field continuously, while harvesting the paddy, while admiring the ugly appearance of some sour and rotten Confucians in Nanchang Prefecture.

Zhu Kezang has a steam harvester to help, but the others don't!

Harvesting five acres of rice is definitely not an easy task, but for Zhu Kezang who owns a harvester, it is nothing more than walking back and forth in the rice fields.

It took only half an hour for the emperor Zhu Kezang to reap an acre of land. Next to him, the old eunuch Li followed closely. He wanted to help, but Zhu Kezang stopped him.

"Old Li, I haven't played yet. Drive enough, machines are the romance of men!"

The old eunuch Li Zhongjie who said this wanted to cry, but he was no longer a man!

Who knows what a man's romance is.

"I'm in a big rice field, digging, digging, digging!"

Zhu Kezang, who was in a good mood, couldn't help humming.

After harvesting an acre of land, Zhu Kezang did not forget to stop to rest and take a rest to see other people's labor conditions.

Chen Yonghua is the most serious in his work, he is always strong, he has not taken a break after half an hour, and he is still harvesting rice silently. He has already harvested three or four bundles of rice!

When Chen Yonghua saw the emperor's son-in-law Zhu Kezang coming over to join in the fun, he couldn't help but said, "Qin She, don't arrange for the harvester to come over, do you want to exhaust the Prime Minister of Ming Dynasty?"

"Haha, father-in-law, don't worry, I've already made arrangements for you."

"Isn't this to let you experience the hard work of farmers first?"

Zhu Kezang laughed immediately, and he asked someone to arrange a harvester to come over, and someone specially taught Chen Yonghua how to operate the harvester.

The steam machine is really a man's romance, even the old man Chen Yonghua is not exempt!
He grinned happily, sat on the harvester happily, and excitedly operated the harvester to harvest crop after crop of rice!
Of course, not only Chen Yonghua, but also other important ministers brought by Yingtian were arranged. Only those corrupt Confucian officials in Nanchang Mansion continued to work hard by hand.

These older veterans immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and they were similar to Chen Yonghua. They thought it was very fresh. Although they had seen it before, they had never operated it by themselves, and began to drive the machine to harvest rice.

The farmers and people around Nanchang Mansion are also watching the emperor lead his courtiers to work!
They all thought that Zhu Kezang was a good emperor, and he actually helped the people farm for free!

The common people looked at the group of Wen Palaces in Nanchang Mansion working with bitter faces, feeling full of joyful atmosphere!

As time goes by, the sun starts to get hotter.

Many civil servants in Nanchang Prefecture who were harvesting rice sighed and complained non-stop.

"Your Majesty seems to be very relaxed."

"It's all the fault of the prefect and the governor who belittle new technology every day, and make us little bastards suffer!"

From time to time, they stood up to look at Zhu Kezang who operated the steam harvester.

Then he sighed and looked at the sickle in his hand. He didn't know that he could cut five acres of land until he received the year of the monkey. After working for two or three hours, he still only harvested a small corner. Complete five acres of land.

"My old waist!"

Some civil servants kept rubbing and beating their old waists, bending over to harvest rice. For them who are usually high above them, today is really too tired.

There is a group of civil servants who are also peasants. Unfortunately, when they climbed higher and higher, they forgot their roots and couldn't care about the common people and only cared about their own interests!
"Hoo! Hoo!"

Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Jiangxi in the Ming Empire, was struggling to harvest the rice while panting heavily.

He himself is not young, and since he became an official, he has been used to being pampered. Now harvesting rice is simply killing him, and he is wearing a long shirt and long sleeves, which makes him look extremely embarrassed.

"My lord, let's admit our mistake to His Majesty!"
