The next morning, the young couple rode their horses after breakfast.
Mu Anzhi doesn’t like riding a car. He never sits without a ride. Li Yuhua can ride a horse. This is a bit beyond Mu Anzhi’s expectations. It is not uncommon for noble ladies in the imperial capital to ride horses, but horses are not common in the countryside. Li Yuhua said, “I can ride a donkey when I was a child. Later, in order to make it easier to go out, I bought several horses in the workshop. Not only can I ride a horse, but I can catch a big cart.”
Mu Anzhi immediately praised her, "Very talented."
"Of course. Otherwise, how can you be worthy of you, Third Brother." Li Yuhua thought that although she didn't know much about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, those daughters of daughters might not know what she knew. Is it more noble than driving a cart? Li Yuhua doesn't think so.
Li Yuhua rode a smaller mare, and Mu Anzhi was a black divine horse, quite a divine horse. Li Yuhua glanced at it several times, thinking that the third brother is really unintentional. With a beautiful lady like me, he didn't even invite me to ride with him.
Thinking that Mu Anzhi seemed to refuse to get close to her due to the words he had said in the past, Li Yuhua felt a little depressed.
The imperial capital city in the morning was gradually becoming lively. The carriages and horses were noisy, and the shops were opened. Especially for the stalls for morning food, the rolling steam wafted out different fresh fragrances accompanied by the morning mist and morning frost. It was so lively from the eyes to the heart. Li Yuhua forgot about the matter with Mu Anzhi in a blink of an eye. Although she has always been smart, she is still young and has only some ignorant thoughts about love and is not in a hurry.
When Mu Anzhi saw Li Yuhua looking at the breakfast stall on the side, he asked her, "What do you want to eat?"
"Brother Third, have you ever eaten the fried chicken?"
Mu Anzhi sent Xiao Yi to buy a few fried scallion rings. Li Yuhua specifically reminded him, "I want the scallion rings and give them to my third brother, but he has never eaten them."
Li Yuhua always has such a little cunning, and Mu Anzhi just smiled and didn't say it out loud. After Jiaoquaner bought it, Li Yuhua drove his little mare to Mu Anzhi's big dark horse, raised his neck and asked in a low voice, "Third brother, can we eat on the street? Will it be undecent?"
If it were before the Great Dream, Mu Anyi's words and deeds were all within the framework of those rules, now it seems so ridiculous.
"What's wrong with this? You can eat something if you want, and you can eat anywhere." Mu Anzhi distributed the two charcoal circles with coarse paper to Li Yuhua. The remaining two Mu Anzhi were in his hand and took a bite. He hadn't eaten the charcoal circles, but he had eaten less, and hadn't eaten in more than ten years. He lived in the Yu'an Palace himself and ate the food of the prince. The food in the kitchen was warm when delivered to the Yu'an Palace. The things like the charcoal circles had to be fried and crispy to be delicious.
The two of them were riding horses and eating scorched circles. Moreover, the tastes of them were quite similar, and Mu Anzhi also liked to eat scorched circles.
Mu Anzhi never ate alone, and later, Madam Sun and the others all got two charcoal circles. Madam Sun was holding the charcoal circles in the car and was anxious: Your Highness, Madam, why do you eat like this outside?
Yun Yan laughed aside, "Madam, let's eat too. Your Highness is young and loves to play like a child."
"You are not big, you are so angry." Madam Sun couldn't help laughing. She took a bite of the burnt circle that was a little hot. Since she entered the palace, she hadn't eaten the newly fried burnt circle for decades.
After eating the scorched circle, Mu Anzhi's eyebrows seemed to be stained with some freshness in the market, and he said to Li Yuhua, "Tomorrow morning, we won't eat in the mansion, we will come out to eat morning food on the street."
Li Yuhua agreed with one hundred people.
As they said that, they rode out of the inner city. The outer city was as prosperous as it was, and the difference between it and the inner city was the same city gate.
There were also many people leaving the city in the morning and stayed up to enter the suburbs of Beijing. Li Yuhua let go of the horse and ran happily for a short period. Mu Anzhi drove the big dark horse to follow Li Yuhua slowly. The golden sun in the east, the bare branches on both sides of the road, the frozen wheat seedlings in the yellow fields, and Li Yuhua's smile that occasionally turned around was brighter than the sun star.
Xiao Yi and Xiaofan were far away from behind, and behind the guards and a convoy. For some reason, they also had a strange ease and a faint and indescribable joy. Perhaps the weather was too good today, the sky was blue, and the clouds were light and the wind was light.
Zhuangzi is in the suburbs of Beijing, and it is not easy to walk because he has taken the official road. It is noon when he arrives at Zhuangzi. Mei Dianbu came last time and took the initiative to lead the way. You can see several houses dotted among the fields crisscrossing the fields, and the extremely light green smoke rose from the chimney and then was blown away by the breeze.
Following the country road to the village, there were a few children wrapped in cotton coats playing at the entrance of the village. When they saw a convoy walking, they stared at the convoy curiously. There were also several elderly people sitting under the walls of the rising sun and chatting with the sun. At this time, they were also squinting at the convoy. An older child shouted clearly, "Mr. Mei, grandpa, it's Mr. Mei!"
An old man picked up the bamboo stick at his hand and stood up. The young grandson held the old man sensibly. Mei Dianbu smiled and said hello, "It's Old Man Li."
Old Man Li bowed and said, "The master is here, and I will ask my house to rest and let the old man fulfill his filial piety."
"I won't go today, we will get the farm."
Several old men basking in the sun under the wall also stood up and came to greet the nobles. Li Yuhua took out a purse from her sleeve and threw it to Mei Dianbu, saying, "I'm lucky to meet you today. The old man has two golden beans and two silver beans for the child. Your Highness will reward them."
Mei Dianbu took over and gave everyone the reward. The tenants had never seen such a generous reward. They had good luck in giving the royal farm a good commission. The royal farm was kind and could save a few taels of silver when it was good. Even if the year was not good, the commission and tax would be reduced today, so that people would not starve to death. Unexpectedly, he received this generous reward today. Old Man Li immediately threw away his bamboo stick and kowtowed to thank him for the reward. Mu Anzhi hurriedly said, "No need to do this, get up. I will come to talk to you when I have time."
Seeing that his convoy had gone far away, the elderly and children were still sending them to the back, Mu Anzhi couldn't help but say, "It's really simple and simple."
Li Yuhua smiled and said nothing.
The people’s customs are simple and not simple. If you get the benefits, remember the good things of the third brother.
The farm is built at the entrance of the village. Compared with the thatched huts of the tenants with yellow mud, the farm is a serious blue brick and tile house. It is a three-in-one courtyard. It is not big in the imperial capital city, but it is already a first-class mansion in Lidian Village.
Mei Dianbu originally wanted to send someone to inform the meeting first, and also let the village head out to greet him. Mu Anzhi did not make these gimmicks and went directly. When he asked to open the door, he didn't wait for anyone to come to greet him. He led Li Yuhua to drive his horse into the door. As a result, he heard an angry voice, "I am you, you have to listen to me! If you dare to take your mission, I won't knock you to death!"
Mu Anzhi raised his eyebrows and saw a middle-aged fat man in silk clothes chasing a pretty young man, holding a feather duster in his hand. At this time, he was already running and sweating and panting.
Xiao Yi stepped forward and shouted, "Rareless! You dare to talk nonsense in front of the palace!"
Mei Dianbu also said, "Cheng Fu, Your Highness has arrived, what are you doing?"
The middle-aged fat man was immediately frightened and turned pale. He knelt on the ground with a trembling trembling. The pretty young man in a green cloth robe bowed openly and explained slowly, "Since the Empress appointed a young man as a farm manager, the villain did not dare to slack off. Because his father was not concerned about his work, the villain wanted to invite him home to enjoy a peaceful life. He was not very happy, so he was annoyed and wanted to teach the villain a lesson. I didn't know that the prince's arrival and the trivial matters at home made the prince laugh."
Cheng Fu couldn't help but say, "I have been in charge of the farm for decades, and I am not as knowledgeable as you boy."
"Okay, get up."
The Cheng family father and son stood up, and Cheng You stepped forward to lead the way, "I didn't know that your highness was coming, and I didn't prepare. The villain's study was still clean and tidy. Please ask your highness to take a break for a while."
Not to mention the dispute between the father and son of the Cheng family, just seeing Mu Anzhi's series of performances after seeing Mu Anzhi, Mu Anzhi also threw Fatty Cheng away. He thought to himself, this fat man looked stupid, but his son was well conditioned.
When he arrived at the study, Cheng You arranged to serve tea and some coarse snacks, "Your Highness will be very interested in the countryside."
For a moment, Mrs. Cheng came over and kowtowed, and Mu Anzhi sent Mrs. Cheng down. Cheng Fu discussed with the wife outside to prepare lunch for His Highness. Mrs. Cheng saw a noble man like the prince and the princess for the first time in his life. His calves were trembling with his nervous calves, rubbing his hands and whispering, "We have all vulgar food here, but how can we entertain His Highness?"
Cheng Fu had no idea for a moment. Although this place was an imperial village, he had never been to the royal family since Cheng Fu was a servant in this village, and he had never served the prince. Cheng Fu was still more independent than Mrs. Cheng, "It's too late to buy exquisite food in the imperial capital. Wait, I'll ask for a few girls or nanny around His Highness."
Madam Sun knew Mu Anzhi's temperament and told Cheng Fu, "Your Highness is not picky about food, nor does it require a show of the show."
Cheng Fu responded repeatedly, "That young man will go and arrange it."
Madam Sun signaled Yun Yan Sushuang and said to Cheng Fu, "These two girls are also quite good at cooking, let them go with you."
Cheng Fu was unable to ask for it, so he quickly asked Yun Yan Sushuang to go first. He served the two of them like a squad. For a moment, a few old men from Lidian Village came to deliver chickens and ducks, saying that they were filial to His Highness.
Li Yuhua in the room ate two bites of tea and asked Cheng You, "What's going on the farm now?"
Cheng You said, "I would like to pay tribute to Your Highness. After the villain and Ding Yuan came back, they also wanted to make a way to reform the disadvantages. One is that nowadays, the cattle, horse, sword, hoe, and hoe are owned by the farm. Whenever the farm is busy, the tenants come to take it. We discussed, it would be better for each family to divide it, and the knives, hoes, carriages, plows and other things will be kept by them. The cattle and horses are also raised by each family. We discussed a storage rule, and the cattle and horse matters have been discussed. As long as they feed the cattle and horses, if they have reproduction, they will give one to the tenants. Similarly, horses, donkeys and other animals are also
One way to do this will save the many things in the villages from the villages. Second, now we have ten people in our villages, each in charge of ten people, and each in charge of the land affairs will be assigned to each person. After next summer, everyone will make up for the harvest, rewards and punishments, and all will be decided by His Highness. Third, everyone will gather every five days in the future and talk about the affairs in the villages. I discussed with Ding Yuan and invited several prestigious tenants to come. After all, our village was made into a village because of the tenants. Putting aside the tenants, it may be omitted sometimes."
"Then why are you father and son quarrel?"
"In the past, my father was in charge of the affairs of the village, and the managers in the village were all my uncles and uncles. I just took over and wanted to change the rules, so there was no need to have any conflicts. Everyone was unwilling to subcontract the fields. Those who were close to the canal were robbed, but those who were far away from the canal were not happy. I said that I would just divide the pieces and draw lots. My second uncle was foul, and it was not good to catch the pieces, but my father was not happy to say that I would come up with bad ideas. Not only this one, it was a small matter." Cheng You said that he was helpless. Fortunately, his father's mansion in the village was called to him. Ding Yuan was even more difficult to do, and Ding Yuan took over his uncle's mansion. Now that Ding Yuan had to change the rules when he was doing a big manager, his aunt was full of anger, and he was talking a lot in public and secretly.
But Cheng You said that the princess was dissatisfied with the great manager at the village, and it was not that he and Ding Yuan competed for power.
He advised his father that the food in the village would be better than to be handed over later, because there was already a letter saying that the farm had given it to the third prince. He waited for the third prince to take over the farm and then handed over the autumn grain. The food was the third prince. But his father didn't know what the stubbornness had. He discussed with the big merchants there and handed over the grain to the Internal Affairs Department.
The Internal Affairs Department was affordable. When the village was given to the third prince, there was no grain left. Later, the third prince sent Mei Dianbu to count the affairs of the village, and even the tenants recorded the matters clearly according to the heads. Cheng You felt that things were probably not good. Sure enough, he brought Xiaojing to the city to pay tribute to the empress. The empress did not see his father or Ding Yuan and his uncle, so she directly assigned the mission from the heads to him and Ding Yuan.
This has to be said to be merciful, otherwise the Empress would have to kowtow and thank others.
Therefore, Cheng You Ding Yuan discussed that there must be some things to do. The two of them were young, and when they came back, they drastically reversed the old rules of the past and promoted their generation of young people.
The elderly are naturally unhappy, so there are conflicts from time to time.
Li Yuhua laughed, "I haven't read the wrong person yet."
