Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 168

Zhu Fen's face suddenly turned from white to blue, and then from blue to purple.Thinking of how I almost went to that "well" to fill water and make tea in the morning, I felt nausea in my mouth.

Hastily put back the half-picked meat buns.

"Third brother, why don't you eat?"

"Uh, ha ha. The third brother is not hungry, not hungry." Zhu Yan smiled very reluctantly.I almost drank the water in the Gong bucket into my stomach, so it's no wonder I still have an appetite for breakfast.

This Huangzhuang is really different.He is a majestic King Jin, who almost lost his face...

In order to avoid embarrassment again, after breakfast Zhu Yan dragged Zhu Su to ask him to take him around the whole Huangzhuang.Naturally, Zhu Xi and Zhu Di also wanted to be together, and the four brothers left the house in light clothes.

"This is the field in the village." Zhu Su pointed to the endless field in the back of the village.The field layout is regular like a chess game, and every few acres, there is a canal passing through for irrigation.In the distance, several small water trucks are set up on the canal, and there are several village children touching shrimps beside the canal.

"It's such a peaceful countryside." Zhu Yan praised.Zhu Su was triumphant. Ever since he was criticized by Lao Zhu, he has paid little attention to the livelihood of the people in the village.

These canal waterwheels were organized by farmers during the slack season.

"Why are those few acres of land different?" Zhu Di asked, pointing to a field ridge in the distance.There are few people on the other fields, only that field has many people busy, and people with pens and paper are taking notes. "Oh, those fields are experimental fields." Zhu Su explained. "I tried to come up with a kind of fertilizer, which may increase the fertility of the soil and increase the production of food. First, set aside an acre of land to experiment."

"Fertilizer?" Zhu Yan's eyes lit up.The father puts the most emphasis on farming and mulberry. If he can increase the grain production, it will undoubtedly be a great achievement. "Is this fertilizer also the study of studying things?"

"How to make?"

"It's nothing, just mix urine, cow dung, etc. with soybeans and plaster of Paris. Let it stand at a certain temperature." Zhu Su explained casually. "It can also be regarded as a branch of Gewuzhi, which belongs to the category of 'chemistry'."

"Uh." The complexion of Zhu Bian, who always loves cleanliness, changed slightly.A nauseous feeling began to appear in the throat again.

Zhu Su didn't notice the strangeness of Zhu Laosan. From the corner of his eyes, he saw a farmer who was about to go to the field salute to him, and asked, "Old man Wang, why did you go to the field in person today?"

"Where's your son?"

"Return to the prince's words." A look of sadness appeared on the old man Wang's face. "Yan'an Hou Shizi was riding a horse in the village the day before yesterday, and he rode too fast and directly stepped into my field."

"My son went up to argue, but was knocked unconscious by a horsewhip, and is still lying on the bed!"

As he spoke, tears flowed from his old eyes.

"Is there such a thing?" Zhu Su frowned.Riding a horse on the field?
"Dog, take 20 taels of silver to old man Wang, and ask Tang Jingye to return it later."

"Ask a few people to help take care of the Wang family's crops. Old man Wang is so old, can't he work hard?"

The dog responded behind him, and old man Wang knelt on the ground to thank him.Zhu Su said to the three elder brothers with a dark face: "Go, let's go to the next place."

……

"It's such a luxurious house! The top of the head is actually full of glass!" Zhu Xi was amazed.Glass ornaments can be said to be priceless in Yingtian, and some exquisite glass ornaments can even be sold for ten thousand taels.Didn't expect this humble earthen house to use glass as the roof?
"It's just that the inside is full of flowers and plants." Zhu Di looked at the glass of the roof shining in the sun, and then at the flowers and plants inside, feeling quite out of tune.

"Fourth, you don't understand. This is called a greenhouse." Zhu Su explained. "Although Yingtian is not too cold, green vegetables don't grow in winter."

"But in the greenhouse, the four seasons are like spring, and green vegetables can still be grown."

"Is this also the magic function of Gewu?" Zhu Yan asked.

"Little Doyle, little Doyle." Zhu Su waved his hands, but his face was full of complacency. "Old Huangtou, where are the courgettes that grew a few days ago? Quickly pick some and bring them to my brothers to taste."

"Your Highness..." Old Huang, the farmer in charge of tending the greenhouse, drooped his face. "The prince of Pingliang Marquis came to visit the greenhouse the other day. He said he was thirsty. He ate the courgette after picking it. I couldn't stop it."

"Now there is only one courgette left. Would you like to." He said, pointing to a certain place in the greenhouse.

Zhu Su looked at the only fruit left on the vine, which was still deflated, with black lines all over his head.

"Forget it, stop eating!"

"Let's go! Go to the next place!"

……

Zhu Su took Zhu Lao Er, Zhu Lao San and Zhu Lao Si to wander around the village, and almost everywhere he received feedback from honorable dudes who troubled Zhuangzi: In addition to Pingliang Hou Shizi and Yan'an Hou Shizi, there are still Yuzhang Hou Shizi Hu molested women in Zhuangzhong in the street; Runan Hou Shizi Mei Yi used his power to rob merchants of goods; Xingyang Hou Shizi Zheng Xiang fought with the population corner while listening to books...

Zhu Su, who had a black line on his forehead, resisted not to lose his temper, and returned to the village, just in time to bump into the chief manager, Xiangdeng. "Your Highness! You came just in time!"

"The big thing is not good! The Shen family sent people to report that our glass shop in Suzhou has been sealed off by officials in Suzhou!"

Zhu Su hurriedly took the letter from Xiangdeng's hand, Zhanxin saw that the letter said that Taihu Lake in Suzhou is now seriously infested with bandits, and the thieves even harassed the city several times.The shop jointly operated by Wangfu and Shen's family in Suzhou City was directly blocked by Xunhe Censor in the name of protection.

"Your uncle!"

Unable to hold back his anger, Zhu Su threw the letter paper on the table.Now Zhuangzhong’s investment is all supported by the glass shop cooperated with Shen’s family. For the time being, the cement is only provided to the imperial court at capital cost. Other industries have just started and have not yet produced output. The shop in Suzhou is blocked and cannot be transported. Great portion of income!
"It's all my father's tricks! They let me get involved in the court battle for no reason. I have to wipe the ass of this bunch of dudes, and I am hated by others for no reason, and I can't even do business!"

As soon as these words came out, the timid Xiang Deng immediately turned pale, and Zhu Xi and Zhu Yu were the first to tremble, and quickly dragged Zhu Su who was running away.

"Old man, don't talk nonsense! Do you want to get a dragon belt?" When Zhu Xi mentioned Lao Zhu, he was like a mouse seeing a cat, and even looked around nervously, as if Lao Zhu would jump from some corner in the next moment Like coming out.

"Father asked you to do this, of course there is his reason." Zhu Yan also persuaded. "I think it's the civil servants who have given you eye drops for the Suzhou incident. You can write a letter to explain to Father, and it will be fine if Father makes a decree or Big Brother speaks."

Among the nobles in Huaixi, the two hills of Li Shanchang and Xu Da are the most respected.Hu Weiyong used Huaixi noble sons to gather under Zhu Su's command in the name of studying, in order to give those centrists the illusion that the Huaixi nobles were all on Zhu Su's side.

Even Liu Bowen, the benchmark figure of the Qing school in eastern Zhejiang, took the initiative to join Huangzhuang, and even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the cabinet all shunned the matter of the Fifth Highness Zhu Su. The authority of Zhongshu Province has been on the rise again recently.Coupled with all kinds of rumors and the emperor who always favored the prince, this time he let it go.

Overtly and secretly, many officials with dirty buttocks have accepted Hu Weiyong's solicitation because they have been taken advantage of, hoping that under the protection of the fifth prince Zhu Su, they will continue to be the boss of the officials.
