The prince is five and a half years old, and he is reclaiming land and becoming a group favorite.

Chapter 440 Extra: Wheat

In August of the next year, it was finally time to harvest wheat. Gu Yuzhi took Concubine Xian to the wheat planting field early.

Looking from a distance, the golden scene of the wheat field looks very pleasant.

The smile on Gu Yuzhi's face never fell from the moment he got off the carriage.

At first, he could still walk slowly with his hands behind his back, but after taking only two steps, he became impatient. He turned around and said, "Mother, I'll go over first. Today Chen Dianyi led the people to harvest wheat. I want to see it with my own eyes." "

Only by seeing it with your own eyes can you feel the joy of harvesting food.

The most important thing is that he can paint this shocking scene, firstly, so that the emperor's brother can feel the joy of the common people's harvest, and secondly, he can let his little nephew know what wheat is.

The more Gu Yuzhi thought about it, the happier he felt. He ran forward in three steps and two steps at a time, and soon left Xie Changshi and others far behind.

Although His Highness is one year older, to Xie Changshi and the others, His Highness is still the child who needs their care. Therefore, Xie Changshi followed closely and said uneasily: "Your Highness, please slow down." "Don't worry, the wheat field is growing well and it will take several days to harvest!"

Gu Yuzhi chuckled, but his steps were not slow.

Of course he knew there was no need to rush, but he just wanted to see it while the sun was rising.

Teacher Shu said that the sun rises every day and every day is a new day.

Although Teacher Shu and Shopkeeper Wen will never meet him again, the knowledge they taught him will always be remembered in his heart.

He turned around and ran faster, wishing he could eat the steamed buns that Teacher Shu was talking about now.

Xie Changshi didn't catch up with anyone and wasn't in a hurry. He just looked at his back with a smile, then turned to look at Mr. Cheng: "Dean."

Mr. Cheng stroked his beard and nodded slightly, with a faint smile on his face. The moment he turned around, the smile instantly fell: "You, why don't you follow the prince quickly. How can you get things done if you keep dithering?"

The students who were taking their time at first heard the dean's words and hurriedly chased after him.

After all the students left, Mr. Cheng finally had a smile on his face.

Today is the first day of wheat harvest. Mr. Cheng sent someone yesterday to tell His Highness that the students should also participate in this harvest.

The first is to let these students who have traveled thousands of miles to study in Xinliang know that although His Highness is young, everything he has done is a major event that benefits the country and the people, and is worthy of their respect.

The second reason is that we don’t want these students to develop a mentality of being indifferent to all kinds of things and only know how to improve their knowledge.

Mr. Cheng was reluctant to go out to teach before. The main reason was because he couldn't bear to see these students doing nothing but studying hard despite their family difficulties.

He has always believed that education should be combined with fun, and that work and rest should be combined, so when he saw that there was a chess room and a riding and shooting venue behind the academy, Mr. Cheng knew that he had really come to the right place.

Several people were talking while walking, and soon they heard Gu Yuzhi's cheerful laughter: "Look! The sun is rising!"

The golden sun has risen halfway, turning the surrounding white clouds into golden color. The golden color of the sky is connected with the equally golden wheat fields, which looks particularly pleasing to the eye.

Gu Yuzhi jumped onto the field ridge with a "hey" sound, bent down and touched the wheat ears with his hands. It was slightly prickly, but he could feel that every wheat ear was full.

He simply squatted down, holding his face in his hands and looking at the heavy ears of wheat, and Teacher Shu's face unconsciously appeared in front of his eyes. Before helping himself survive, Teacher Shu also wrote down the wheat planting methods, harvesting methods, storage methods, etc.

What touched him most was that Teacher Shu also wrote a lot about wheat delicacies, such as steamed buns, cold skin, steamed buns, dumplings...

At the back of the letter, there were a few instructions from Shopkeeper Wen. The meaning was very simple. These food recipes were all unique. Let him use these food recipes to make a lot of money and strive to become the richest man in Mobei as soon as possible.

Gu Yuzhi puffed up his face. He was already the richest man in Mobei after the last reward from the emperor's brother was put into the treasury. He really has no feeling for money, this kind of external thing.

If possible, he really hopes to use the money to exchange Shopkeeper Wen and Teacher Shu back.

Just when Gu Yuzhi was deep in thought, Mr. Cheng and others finally arrived.

Since moving to Xinliang, Chen Dianyi has become the prefect of Xinliang, managing all the general affairs of Xinliang. Except for necessary matters, he can make decisions without asking Gu Yuzhi.

The wheat harvest was not only beneficial to Xin Liang and His Highness, but also related to the people of Sang Dynasty. Therefore, after arranging the personnel, Chen Dianyi walked carefully to Gu Yuzhi's side.

"Your Highness, the people are ready and waiting for you to speak."

Gu Yuzhi then stood up, turned around and looked over. All the people were holding sickles in their hands and looking at him with burning eyes.

As the first people to plant and harvest wheat, these people were extremely proud. Looking at the heavy ears of wheat, they wished they could go to the fields right now. It would be best if they could harvest the wheat back in one day!
A smile slowly appeared on Gu Yuzhi's little face: "Then let everyone start!"

After hearing this, Chen Dianyi clapped his hands and said loudly: "Let's start!"

At this moment, both the common people and the students who came to experience it all bent down and started to move.

The men harvested, while the women tied up all the ears of wheat and put them on the donkey carts that had been waiting for a long time on the official road, and then pulled them to the specially built drying ground.

There are also people waiting in the drying field, they are dedicated to threshing wheat.

Teacher Shu said that wheat seeds have a relatively high water content. If they are not dried, they will be prone to insects and mold.

He asked Xie Changshi to calculate specifically. The weather for nearly half a month would be sunny and good, which was perfect for drying wheat.

The dried wheat is then sent to the mill.

Thinking about the follow-up processing, Gu Yuzhi walked quickly to Chen Dianyi and whispered: "Have everything been arranged at the warehouse? And at the mill."

Chen Dianyi smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, Your Highness, Guard Zhang personally sent people to guard the warehouse. As for the mill, they have already packed everything and are waiting for the wheat."

Speaking of Guard Zhang, Gu Yuzhicai smiled again.

He originally wanted Guard Zhang to go to the military camp, but Guard Zhang refused, saying that he was the only one of the guards who came to Mobei, so he would not leave and work as a head catcher in the Yamen.

Thinking of those dead guards, Gu Yuzhi lowered his eyes and wiped his tears, then looked up at the bustling scene of wheat harvesting.

It's so sad that they can't see it anymore...
