Three or two peach blossoms outside the bamboo, the prophet of the plumbing duck in the spring river. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The wilted reed buds are short, and it is the time when the puffer fish wants to go.

This poem came from Su Shi in the Song Dynasty, but this situation and this scene all made Xiao Ming feel how consistent it was at this time.

Leading the ploughing ox to a distance of one acre, Xiao Ming returned the ploughing ox to the soldier, and at this time he was already tired and sweating, there was no modern machinery of primitive agriculture, spring ploughing and autumn harvest were very tiring.

Lu Fei laughed at this time and walked over, "Your Highness, the last general thought that His Highness could only bow and shoot dogs and horses, but I didn't expect that he was also a good hand at farm work."

Xiao Ming almost did this when I was a child, but reacted and said, "What's so difficult about this? It's just learning from the soldiers. ”

Recalling his childhood in his previous life, Xiao Ming was even a little sad, because he didn't know who his parents were since he was a child, and he had always been with the grandmother who raised him.

Unfortunately, after a year of his work, his grandmother also went.

It is precisely because of this that he didn't have much concern after coming here, and quickly adapted to this place.

"Even so, I'm afraid Your Highness is also the first prince of the Great Yu Kingdom who can cultivate the land." Lu Fei said with a smile, then changed the conversation and said: "Your Highness, there is no problem with the agricultural production of this construction corps, but you also have to train in this spare time, right?" The armor of this Qingzhou army ......"

When he was working, Lu Fei kept wanting to talk and stopped, it turned out that he was talking about this.

He said: "What I promised will definitely be done, at the end of next month, the first batch of plate armor, crossbow arrows, and Mo Dao will arrive at the Qingzhou camp." ”

"Mo Dao? Crossbow arrows, why not bow arrows? Xiao Ming just promised to give the Qingzhou Army equipment, but the specific equipment Lu Fei is not clear.

Now that Xiao Ming said it, he couldn't help but wonder.

"It's early today, I'll take you tomorrow to see for yourself what Modao is?" Xiao Ming said.

Lu Fei was pleasantly surprised: "Your Highness Xie." The Qingzhou Army is really scared, and when they see weapons and equipment, they are as excited as a wolf when they see meat.

Washing the mud off his legs in the water of the Xiaoqing River, Xiao Ming got up to leave, and when he raised his eyes, he suddenly saw a huge black shadow running past.

When he looked closely, it was a huge carp.

After the carp, a large group of fish swam over, and the unpolluted natural environment allowed the fish to multiply wantonly, which made him suddenly feel the pastoral feeling of "lonely boat".

This time is busy, but proper leisure is also a must, he wondered if to let Chen Qi make a fishing hook for himself to go fishing.

Thinking along the way, Xiao Ming walked towards the palace, now the fiefdom is embarrassed, farming production is naturally a part, but breeding is also a part of agriculture.

And this part has been ignored for a long time, many people say that the Song Dynasty is because of the loss of horse breeding land will lead to the shortage of war horses, but the chaotic horse politics of the Song Dynasty is also difficult to shirk the responsibility.

Xiao Ming also felt the importance of the breeding industry from this incident of buying farming cattle.

Therefore, after farming, the task he gave to the production teams of various states and counties was to breed, cattle, sheep, mules, horses, chickens, fish, pigs, everything was indispensable.

Back at the palace, Xiao Ming had a simple meal and was about to write a decree on breeding, when Aster came over and said to Xiao Ming: "Your Highness, when you are not there in the afternoon, His Royal Highness the King of Wei will arrive at the palace in the afternoon, and let the slave and maid tell His Highness, and the King of Wei will return to Qingzhou to visit His Highness in five days?" ”

"King Wei visiting me?" Xiao Ming seemed to have heard a big joke.

This Uncle Wei Huang has not given him any substantial help since he came here, even three years ago, he did the same thing as the local wealthy family.

gathered soldiers and horses to defend themselves on the border, and did not send a single soldier to Xiao Ming's fiefdom.

And in this matter of ploughing cattle, he put himself in the same place, constantly raising the price of ploughing cattle, and made himself lose more than 100,000 taels of silver.

Now he would deign to visit him.

After thinking about it carefully, Xiao Ming suddenly understood, I am afraid that the purpose of this King of Wei is not simple, and the merchant captured by Lu Fei from Cangzhou is still in Qingzhou Prison.

This King Wei came over so quickly, it seems that this merchant has a lot of goods in his stomach, and he needs to interrogate it.

Dropping the pen and paper, Xiao Ming directly sent someone to find Lu Fei and interrogate this businessman named Zhou Ziyu overnight.

Qingzhou Prison.

This is a cell located in the street next door to the Qingzhou Army, which is under the jurisdiction of the Qingzhou Mansion, and people who are caught in the city as traitors are usually detained here.

Because next door is the Qingzhou Army station, few people in Qingzhou Prison have always dared to make up their minds.

Therefore, Lu Fei will boldly detain this businessman in it.

"Your Highness, this is the merchant." Lu Fei said

The dim lights in the Qingzhou prison flickered, and the corridors of the cells were dark and damp, and there was a disgusting smell of rot, mixed with rancid food, and the disgusting smell of feces.

Zhou Ziyu was imprisoned in the innermost, unlike the malaise of other prisoners, he looked relaxed and complacent, as if he could leave at any time.

"Zhou Ziyu, you are enjoying yourself." Lu Fei roared.

At this time, Zhou Ziyu, who was lying on the ground on his side, stood up and walked to the prison door, he glanced at Lu Fei, then at Xiao Ming, and arched his hand: "This must be His Royal Highness King Qi, Zhou Ziyu, a grass citizen, has seen His Royal Highness." ”

Xiao Ming stared at Zhou Ziyu with amusement and said, "How do you know that I am the King of Qi?" ”

"The person who can make Captain Lu Fei follow behind him in this Qingzhou City is probably only His Royal Highness King Qi."

"You observe carefully, it seems that you are also a smart person, so this king said bluntly, were you instructed by the king of Wei to smuggle war horses, what is the purpose of this king of Wei to smuggle war horses?"

Zhou Ziyu laughed when he heard this: "Your Highness, do you think I will risk offending King Wei to tell you this?" ”

"Aren't you afraid of offending me?" Xiao Ming said coldly.

"With all due respect, Your Highness, do you think that in the emperor's heart, you are more important than King Wei? If you choose between the King of Wei and His Royal Highness to survive, do you say that the emperor will choose the rich side and the King of Wei, who has many soldiers and armor, or will he guard a dilapidated fiefdom and a worthless palace... Under. Zhou Ziyu said teasingly, with contempt for Xiao Ming hidden in his eyes.

Zhou Ziyu's arrogant attitude angered Lu Fei, Lu Fei raised his horsewhip and whipped Zhou Ziyu fiercely, with a miserable scream, Zhou Ziyu covered his left face, staggered back, and blood flowed down Zhou Ziyu's left face.

Lu Fei was furious, "Bold dog slave, if you dare to talk to my Royal Highness like this, your King of Wei is three heads and six arms, and I, Lu Fei, am not afraid."

After that, Lu Feiyang raised his whip and was about to pull it off, but was stopped by Xiao Ming.

Zhou Ziyu's words are hard to hear, but it is true that Xiao Wenxuan is the king of a country, and everything is based on profit.

If Xiao Ming needs to be abandoned, he will not hesitate to be abandoned, at this time Zhou Ziyu mentioned Xiao Wenxuan, this smuggling war horse is greasy, he basically saw it, he said: "The smuggling of war horses was privately instructed by the emperor to King Wei, right?" ”
