The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

On the way to Dahua Village, Liang Run introduced the situation of Xia Dahua Village to Zhao Yao in detail again.

Although Dahua Village is located on the outskirts of the capital, its location is quite special.It is surrounded by mountains, and the surrounding mountains are not tall, but they are covered by dense forests.There is also a river that runs through the entire village. This river is not very big, but it provides water for the entire village.

Because of the surrounding mountains, Dahua Village does not have as many fields as other villages, but there are hundreds of acres, enough for the villagers to plant.

There are not many villagers in Dahua Village, only one hundred households, and it is the smallest village among the nearby villages.

Or maybe because of the special geographical location, or other reasons, the fields in Dahua Village are relatively fertile, and the annual grain output is still very good.

When the first emperor established the Great Zhou Dynasty, all parts of the country were devastated.In order to let the people have enough to eat, the imperial court exempted the people from many taxes, including the grain tax.At that time, the tax was exempted for three years.

Three years later, although the food tax was not exempted, the food tax collected was very small, only one in twenty.Of course, the current tax must have risen a bit, [-] taxes.

Because the grain tax is not high, the villagers of Dahua Village have gradually become able to eat enough in the past ten years, and they still have surplus grain.

In addition to growing food, Dahua Village also grows flowers.The reason why it is called "Big Flower Village" is because there are many flowers in the village.

At the beginning, the villagers did not plan to plant flowers, but there are many wild flowers in the village, especially on the surrounding mountains, and there are many orchids.

During the previous dynasty, a businessman accidentally lost his way, and was taken back to the village by kind-hearted villagers of Dahua Village to entertain him.The businessman was attracted by the beautiful environment of Dahua Village and lived in Dahua Village for a period of time.

He traveled all over Dahua Village under the leadership of the villagers, and then found that the wild flowers in Dahua Village were different, and the most important thing was that he found orchids in the mountains.

The businessman bought wild flowers in Dahua Village and orchids in the mountains.He told Li Zheng of Dahua Village at that time that Dahua Village was very suitable for growing flowers, and suggested that they could grow flowers on weekdays. Since then, Dahua Village has started to grow flowers, and the villagers found that their village is indeed suitable for growing flowers, and selling flowers can make a lot of money.

After the establishment of the Great Zhou, although the villagers were encouraged to grow more fields and reclaim more fields, they did not force the villagers to give up planting other things.However, Dahua Village did not grow flowers like the previous dynasty.

During the period of Emperor Xia Ling, due to tyranny, the villagers in Dahua Village could not grow enough food to hand over to the court, so how could they care about planting flowers.Since then, the village name of Dahua Village has only grown grain, not flowers.

Even if the villagers of Dahua Village can eat enough now, they dare not grow flowers anymore.

After experiencing the pain of not having enough food for a long time, the villagers of Dahua Village feel that there is nothing more secure than growing food.Planting flowers can make money, but it can't fill your stomach.

Although the villagers of Dahua Village no longer grow flowers, there are still a lot of wild flowers in the mountains.

It is spring now, and the wild flowers on the mountain in Dahua Village are basically in bloom, colorful and beautiful.

Before Zhao Yao and the others arrived at Dahua Village, they could faintly smell the fragrance of flowers in the wind.

After riding in the carriage for nearly two hours, Zhao Yao and the others finally arrived at Dahua Village.

Li Zheng had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Liang Run bringing a young master with exquisite facial features, he immediately understood in his heart that this young master was a noble person.

Although Zhao Yao's clothes were made of ordinary fabrics, not silk and satin, his noble aura could not be concealed by ordinary clothes.

He himself didn't feel any extravagance in himself, but in the eyes of others, he was not only noble, but also very dignified.

This kind of prestige carried by oneself is the prestige of the Tian family, which is innate, which is not available to ordinary people and powerful families.

It is clear that the Zhao family has only been a royal family for more than ten years, but the royal prestige is increasing day by day. After all, the Zhao family used to be a grassroots family, not a powerful family.

Liang Run only introduced Zhao Yao to Li Zheng as his nephew, and brought him to Dahua Village to have a look. He didn't introduce anything else, but Li Zheng saw at a glance that Zhao Yao was Liang Run's master.

Li Zheng didn't know what to do, so he warmly entertained Liang Run and Zhao Yao.

The villagers in Dahua Village already knew Liang Run.During this period of time, Liang Run often came to Dahua Village, and he was very gentle. The villagers had a good impression of him.Now seeing him bring a child like a porcelain doll, they are very curious.

There are quite a few children in the village, but none of them looks better than Zhao Yao.

Zhao Yao was not annoyed by the villagers staring at him in surprise.Instead, he raised a smile and greeted them.He smiled, and there was a dimple on the left corner of his mouth, which made him look sweet and well-behaved, making him even more lovable.

Li Zheng took Zhao Yao and the others to visit his house first.

Although his house is an ordinary house, it is very big and very clean.

Mrs. Lizheng fell in love with Zhao Yao immediately, and entertained him with all the delicious food at home.

After sitting at Lizheng's house for a while, Liang Run took Zhao Yao to the east of Dahua Village.

The mountain to the east of Dahua Village is the highest among the surrounding mountains.There is a large flat land halfway up the mountain, which can be used to build Zhuangzi.

During this period of time, Lizheng asked the villagers to cut down all the trees and weeds on the flat land.

Zhao Yao looked around and found that the location here is really good.Although it is a flat land, it is surrounded by trees. From the bottom of the mountain, it is difficult to see what is here.

Hearing the sounds of birds and other animals from the mountains, Zhao Yao asked curiously, "What animals are there in your mountains?"

Li Zheng thought that Zhao Yao was worried about dangerous animals in the mountains, so he hurriedly said, "Young master, there are no tigers, wolves, or bears in our mountains."

He hastily added: "There are deer in our mountains, and there are many deer."

"Deer?" When mentioning deer, Zhao Yao instantly thought of venison, and his eyes immediately became bright.The venison is delicious grilled or boiled in a hot pot.

"Young master, don't worry, the deer in the mountains don't hurt people, they are very docile." Li Zheng said, "We met them in the mountains, they never hurt us, and even get close to us."

Zhao Yao suddenly thought of a sentence, "When you are deep in the forest, you see a deer."

Liang Run and Ding Yuan think this sentence is very good and very beautiful!
"The deer in the mountains often come down to the village, and we never hurt them." Li Zheng said proudly, "We get along very well with the deer."

Zhao Yao praised: "You can get along well with the deer, which shows that you are all kind people."

Being praised for his kindness, Lizheng showed a smile on his face: "Little master, you don't know, our ancestors said that deer are the incarnation of gods and can protect us." During the previous dynasty, the deer in their mountains were almost killed by those dignitaries. .Without the blessing of the deer, accidents happened one after another in their village.

More than ten years ago, when Dazhou was first established, the deer returned to their village.Now there are more and more deer in the mountains.

After hearing this legend, Zhao Yao tentatively asked: "Then you shouldn't kill the deer?"

Hearing what Zhao Yao said, Lizheng's expression changed suddenly, and he looked at him with vigilant eyes: "Young master, you won't..."

Seeing that Lizheng misunderstood, Zhao Yao quickly waved his hands and said, "You said deer would bless you, so I don't think you would hunt them down."

Hearing this, Li Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

"Of course we won't, young master, and you can't kill our deer." He said, his eyes became sharper, "Master, if you kill our deer, the whole village will not let you go .”

Liang Run said: "Li Zheng, don't worry, we will never hurt the deer."

Zhao Yao felt a little pity in his heart.He thought just now that there are many deer in the mountains of Dahua Village, so he could eat more venison, but he didn't think he couldn't.

"We also hope to be blessed by the deer, how can it be possible to hunt a deer." He added, "I haven't seen a deer yet." He has seen venison and eaten venison, but he has not seen a live deer.

There is no deer in the palace, but I heard that there are deer in the royal courtyard.Every time a banquet is held in the palace, fresh venison is sent from the royal courtyard.

"Young master, if you are destined, you will definitely see it." Li was speaking, his tone becoming ostentatious, "The deer in our village are very spiritual. You will definitely like it after seeing it."

"Then I hope I have a destiny with deer."

When mentioning the deer in their mountain, Lizheng was full of pride: "By the way, there used to be a white deer in our mountain. Anyone who sees it will have good luck."

"White deer?" Zhao Yao asked in surprise, "You still have white deer here?"

"Yes! People in our village saw it more than 20 years ago!" Li Zheng said this, with a look of grief on his face, "It is because of this incident that those people came to our village to hunt and kill deer wantonly..." A Thinking of the tragedy more than 20 years ago, Li Zhengzheng trembled all over his body.

Zhao Yao hurriedly interrupted Li Zheng, letting him recover from the great sadness.

"Did the white deer appear behind it?"

Lizheng shook his head: "It never appeared again. The white deer only appeared that once." He added, "The white deer does not appear many times, but every time it appears, it will bring good luck to our village."

Zhao Yao said deliberately: "Maybe I can meet Bailu in the future."

Li Zheng was amused by Zhao Yao's words: "If you can meet Bailu, you will definitely be blessed by Bailu."

Next, Lizheng said a lot about the deer, which was very miraculous.Although Zhao Yao listened with gusto, he didn't believe a single word.

Li Zheng took Zhao Yao and the others back to his house for lunch.Mrs. Lizheng and her daughter-in-law cooked a large table of dishes for them.

I don't know if it's because the dishes grown by Lizheng and the others are delicious, or because Mrs. Lizheng and the others are good at cooking. The dishes on this table are very delicious.

Zhao Yao didn't hold back, and ate three rice bowls in one go.If Liang Run hadn't stopped him, he could have eaten four bowls of rice.

After lunch, Zhao Yao and the others went for a casual walk in the village to digest food, without letting Li Zheng accompany them.

Liang Run had something to discuss with Li Zheng, and he didn't accompany Zhao Yao and the others.

Zhao Yao took Dingyuan, Tongan and Tongxi for a walk in the village, attracting many villagers to watch.

The villagers saw that Zhao Yao greeted them politely, without any airs of a young master, so they became bolder and chatted with him.
