Chapter 283 I'm getting more and more curious

The Taifu looked at the written order in his eyes, and stood up to object: "Every county has a county government. Changping Township has to be upgraded to Changping County. It also needs to set up a county government. After setting up a county government, who is in charge of the county magistrate or the county monarch?"

The whole place was silent.

The emperor glanced at the officials and said: "Changping Township remains as it is, and there is no reward for money. Those ducks and plans have not yet worked."

The Taifu retorted: "If it works, it will be a disaster. It's better not to work it forever. The ducks will be eaten as soon as they are raised, and there will be an extra dish on the table of the common people."

The emperor gritted his teeth.Shang Shuling said: "Last year, several prefectures and counties were plagued by locusts. The plan still needs to be sent to each prefecture and county first, and every Lizheng should be notified."

The matter was settled like this, and the Zhongshu Province was responsible for drafting the decree, which was sent to the states by the officers.

Mo Jian brought people back to the voyage, and some villagers bravely murmured: "We haven't gone ashore yet, and I haven't seen the prosperity of this capital."

Mo Jian glanced at them: "If you go ashore, you may not be able to board the boat. There are no less murders in the capital than those on the road to escape."

Many people were frightened, and a few people didn't take it seriously: "There is an adult here."

Mo Jian smiled but said, "I protect you?"

Those people were so frightened that they fell silent.

"Those who want to go around the capital can come here by boat or car, as long as they want. Now we are in a hurry."

The Wang family's Yuedu study is on fire again.All the paintings that had been hung in the study were taken down and replaced with pictures of leaky windows, from the first floor to the third floor.

There are many people living in luxury houses in Beijing, but there are not many styles of flower windows and leaky windows. Some mansions have complicated windows to show their identity and status.These novel styles and beautiful scenery immediately attracted their attention.

They also have a high level of appreciating paintings. Looking at the paintings, they have an immersive feeling, as if they are standing in front of the window, looking at the crabapple outside the window, the plantain in the rain, and the withered vine on the rockery.

Many people want to have such a garden, and the guys took advantage of the opportunity to introduce the picture albums in the store: "There are more than 100 kinds of flower windows and leaky windows in these picture albums, and there are [-] kinds in each booklet. There are hardcover and paperback."

The hardcover ones have windows and scenery, while the simple ones only have windows but not scenery.

Those who have money and status naturally choose hardcover.After opening it, I found that each booklet is designed around a place, such as a pool, with views from different angles. Looking at the picture book, I feel like I am playing by the pool.

Buying one book is not enough to read, so you have to buy another one, and some simply bought the whole set, wanting to make up the whole garden.

The prince looked at a pile of albums on the table, and asked the Taifu: "Who do you think these paintings are, sir?"

Taifu shook his head: "I don't know, old minister."

"In the past, the capital city was not so lively, but now the wave after wave of enthusiasm keeps surging, which is interesting."

Taifu smiled and said: "The country is rich and the people are strong, and the culture is prosperous, so it will naturally be lively."

The prince opened his mouth, but found that there was no way to refute.

He opened one, and another, and was silent for a while.

"I want to meet these painters."

The Taifu disagreed: "As long as the painting looks good, it doesn't matter what the painter looks like."

The crown prince stared at him for a while, and said: "When the matter in Shengzhou is settled, I want to go to Changping Township to have a look."

The Taifu sat upright all of a sudden: "Changping Township is a long way away."

"Not far, just a few days."

He opened a big box again, and saw that it was divided into several compartments, and each compartment was a pile of wood chips, as well as some flowers and trees.

"This crabapple flower is very lifelike." The prince liked it very much.He took them out one by one and put them on the table.

"It needs to be assembled by oneself," Taifu said.

"I actually play such a naive game." The prince was full of disgust, but was slapped in the face a few minutes later.

He can't assemble.

Taifu lowered his head, pretending not to see.

For the sake of saving face, the prince picked up the pieces of wood and began to ponder, and finally put together a corridor and arranged the rockery and pavilions properly.

Looking at the small garden on the wooden plate, the prince walked around it several times.

"If the real garden is like this, it must be more charming." The prince glanced at the Taifu, "I'm afraid many people in the capital are about to start construction."

He suddenly remembered something: "The imperial garden has built a corridor and changed some scenery settings. The Wang family's villa has been very famous during this period. Who are these related to? The Changping Township Lord?"

The Taifu didn't say a word.

The prince became more and more sure: "The officials drew a lot of pictures of Su Garden the year before last, and there are a few pictures here in this palace. There has been no movement in the capital for more than a year. This year, the Wang Family Villa suddenly attracted a lot of people to visit, and the album models are selling so hot. It’s such a big game of chess, I’m really calm.”

Taifu said: "It takes a long time to build a house in the villa, and it takes at least a year to form the scenery."

The prince looked at him: "Speaking of which, the teacher must have an album, right? Why didn't the teacher think about building a garden? General Yan must have described the beauty of Su Garden to you."

The Taifu smiled: "The old minister is getting old, and he has no interest in the house and garden. The children in the family are armed with swords and sticks, and they don't care about those elegant things."

The prince glanced at the model: "I am more and more curious about Nasu Garden and Changping Township."

Xiangjun Mansion began to breed with watermelon seeds again.

"This melon seed seems to be different from last year's." Chen Zhongyan's eyes were sharp.

"I think it's about the same." Chen Dahanhan had already forgotten what the melon seeds were like last year.

The children split into two groups in an instant. Some said they were different, while others said there was no difference.

Chen Fan glanced at them: "When I ate watermelons last year, the seeds were different."

"That's just the difference between mature and immature, the mature seeds are still very similar." Chen Zhongyan is serious.

"Are the three batches of early, middle and late watermelon seeds all the same?" Chen Fan asked.

Chen Zhongyan thought for a while: "It seems to be different."

"Liu Ji bought more than a catty of watermelon seeds from the grocery store, and the capital sent some watermelon seeds. These seeds are all different, and I don't know about early, middle or late maturity. They were all planted for trial."

Chen Zhongyan nodded in a daze.

"Everyone knows the growth of the three batches of watermelons last year. The first harvested melon seeds may not be the first to be planted this year, and the sowing time has to be adjusted." Chen Fan looked at him.

Chen Zhongyan nodded again: "It seems to be like this, but I still feel that there is something different."

Chen Fan smiled: "Maybe the seeds will be different next year, and we will intervene when planting melons."

The people shuttled back and forth between the fields and the construction site. Many children were busy fighting for the Huotou army in the morning, and then went to the academy to study in the afternoon.Sweet potatoes, peanuts, watermelons and other crops have been planted, early rice has been transplanted, and construction sites have increased, and the construction is proceeding in an orderly manner.

As soon as the Qingming Festival passed, there was news in the capital that Mrs. Zhongshu Ling had run away from home, and there were discussions in the streets and alleys.

The emperor sneered: "Zhongshu ordered the couple to quarrel, but those people actually believed it. Mrs. Wang must have gone to see her daughter-in-law."
