The stupid son of Chongba

Chapter 136: Farming? You're just putting on a show! Poisonous Zhu Ju, furious Lao Zhu!

The next day.

Beside a large paddy field, Zhu Yuanzhang rolled up his sleeves and frowned.

"Ok?"

He looked at Lin Xiu beside him and asked doubtfully,

"Didn't you say you were going to reclaim the wasteland? Why did you bring us here?"

The people around him were also looking around, taking in the scenery.

I have to say that the scenery in this countryside is quite nice, with neatly arranged paddy fields and green rice seedlings.

The breeze blows gently, stirring up the water waves in the rice fields and bringing a hint of rice fragrance, making people feel relaxed and happy...

"Your Majesty, after much thought, I think it is better to plant rice seedlings than to reclaim the wasteland."

Lin Xiu bowed and said respectfully,
"Thanks to the hard work of the people in Fengyang, there are few wastelands left. Even if there are some, they are mostly on the hillsides and mountain slopes. It is very difficult to cultivate them. It is not easy to grow crops, and they may eventually become wasteland. I think it is better to plant fruit trees on those wastelands."

"In addition, the reason why I suggest that Your Majesty plant rice is that if Your Majesty plants the rice yourself now, you will be able to eat the food you planted yourself after the harvest in the future. That will be of extraordinary significance."

"The same goes for all the princes and princesses, and the adults. I will send people to take good care of the rice seedlings you planted today. When the harvest comes, I will send the rice you planted with your own hands to Yingtian."

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

That’s a good idea! It’s fun to eat food you grow yourself!

What’s more, there’s no need to look after it in between, just plant the seedlings and wait for the harvest!

"You are quite thoughtful."

Zhu Yuanzhang also laughed when he heard this and said,
"Okay, let's plant rice!"

"You know what? I haven't worked in the fields for so many years, but my skills are still there. The farming gestures are already ingrained in my mind!"

"Which piece of land is ours?"

Lin Xiu said quickly:
"Any paddy field here is fine! Your Majesty can plant whatever you like!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and without saying a word, he took off his shoes and socks, rolled up his trouser legs, and stepped one foot directly into the mud!

"Haha, today we are able to be peasants again! This is better than recalling the past and thinking about the present, this is putting it into practice!"

Old Zhu looked inexplicably excited, and laughed at the people on the ridge,

"You can choose your own land. Each family will have a piece of land to farm. If you can farm, all the family members, young and old, can work together!"

"Biao'er, let's ask a little more of you. You can take the second and third brothers with you and let each of you plant a piece of land!"

"Then we'll see who grows the best!"

Upon hearing this, the princes immediately looked miserable.

One piece of land per person? For those of them who had never worked in the fields or done manual labor, it was simply torture!

"How do we plant this land? Just stick the seedlings into the soil?"

"That field... is so dirty! I think there are frogs in it, maybe even snakes!"

"..."

Zhu Biao looked somewhat helpless as he listened to his brothers complaining.

"Stop complaining, everyone. Since our father has said so, let's do it."

He consoled,

"It was just this one time. Think about it, boys of ordinary families, your age, would have already helped their families farm!"

"Cheer up! If you really can't plant the crops later, I'll help you."

"Of course, you'd better not ask me for help. Father also said that today's performance will depend on you. If anyone performs well, he might reward them."

Actually, he doesn’t know how to do it.

But as the eldest brother and the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, he must follow his father and set an example for the people of the world!

Today's farming was not just a joke, the ceremonial officers were recording it! It was destined to be announced to the world, and even recorded in history!
Hearing the word "reward", Zhu Di gritted his teeth, rolled up his sleeves and trouser legs, took off his shoes and socks, and rushed to the paddy field without saying a word.

"Give me the seedlings!"

The servant at the side had already prepared a bag of seedlings and handed them all to Zhu Di.

"No! Old Four...do you want to do this?"

Zhu Gang's face changed and he cursed,

"This bastard just wants to show off in front of our father!"

Today's Zhu Di is simply a king of rolls!
I am willing to do any dirty or tiring work as long as I can have the opportunity to perform in front of my father!
In this volume, Zhu Gang and Zhu Chong, who were also brought along, had to leave one after another.

They don't want to take advantage of it, but they don't want to see all the benefits taken away by Zhu Di!

"Sixth Brother, let's go too."

Zhu Su said,
"I see there's a smaller field on the right, I'll give that to you to plant!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ju rolled his eyes.

"If you want to grow it, go grow it yourself. I'm too lazy to participate in such a show."

He waved his hand.

"You guys do it, I'll go and cool off for a while."

At this moment, Zhu Ju seemed like a hermit who lived in harmony with the world.

Do you like rolls?
Then you guys can go away! I won’t serve you anyway!
"Hey, you..."

Zhu Su hurriedly said,

"Don't be like this. If you don't plant the seeds, your father will blame you and punish you again."

"Listen to me, let's plant it together. At worst, I can help you plant half of it later! At least it will look presentable."

Hearing this, Zhu Ju's mind moved slightly.

"Fifth brother, you are a good person...but you don't have to worry about me."

He looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and saw his father working hard to plant rice seedlings, one foot deep and one foot shallow. He couldn't help but smile.

"I'll find a way to get back to you later."

Having said that, Zhu Ju turned and left.

Looking at his handsome back, Zhu Su felt helpless. He could only take off his shoes and socks silently and join the farming army.

"Hui Zu, come with us!"

"This kind of land is a basic human skill. As long as you have this skill, you will never starve to death!"

Xu Da called his son to go downstairs.

Song Lian, Liu Bowen and others had also made preparations. Although they were literati and already old, they had sons!

It won’t be tiring for their sons to do it!

However, Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong had few people around them at the moment, only their wives, and no sons to help them.

"Teacher."

Seeing Li Shanchang staring at Zhu Ju, Hu Weiyong could not help but remind him,
"If you stare at someone like that, it's easy for them to notice..."

Li Shanchang remained silent and slowly withdrew his gaze.

The only son, Li Qi, had his penis crippled by Zhu Ju and has been inhumane ever since. Is this matter over?
Perhaps in the eyes of the emperor and Zhu Ju, this matter has been turned over, or even forgotten long ago.

But for him... he will never forget it!

Just like at this moment, watching other people's sons working hard, and then thinking of my own son lying at home, like a useless person...

No matter how cunning he was, it was difficult for Li Shanchang not to reveal his hatred!
"How is your Hu Peng doing?"

Li Shanchang asked softly.

"That's it. My hands are fine, but my legs and feet are still a little unsteady. That bastard was too ruthless back then."

Hu Weiyong said with a hint of bitterness,
"It's estimated that it will cause disease."

Li Shanchang nodded slightly.

He rolled up his sleeves, patted Hu Weiyong on the shoulder and said:

"Weiyong, do your best!"

As he finished speaking, he had already walked into the paddy field.

Hu Weiyong looked at Li Shanchang's back with an encouraging look on his face, and confidence gathered in his heart.

"Master, I will."

He clenched his fists, rolled up his trouser legs, and went down to the paddy field.

……

Bang Chi Bang Chi.

Bang Chi Bang Chi.

Under the scorching sun, the men were working hard to plant rice seedlings. Beads of sweat were sliding down their faces, but they didn't even bother to wipe them off.

These people usually live a life of luxury, but now doing farm work is not only strenuous but also clumsy, which means they are getting half the result with twice the effort.

It had been nearly half an hour, and Prince Zhu Di had only planted five rows. The slowest one hadn't even finished the first row.

Of course, the fastest one is Lao Zhu. He seems to have endless energy. He works hard all the way and has already planted half an acre of land!

"Tsk tsk, I am hoeing the field in the middle of the day, my sweat drips down to the ground. Who knows that every grain of rice on the table is the result of hard work?"

Zhu Ju ate the sweet melon and sat beside Ma Xiuying, exclaiming in admiration,
"Look how hard they work! If we can capture this scene, we can definitely use it to promote it all over the world!"

In ancient times, performances were not showy enough. At most, they could be recorded in writing, which was not intuitive enough.

"Your Highness, don't you have to go to farm?"

Xu Miaoyun came up at some point and asked softly.

Zhu Ju glanced at her.

"What? I don't want to do this kind of showmanship."

He hummed softly,

"Just watch them do it. By the way, Miaoyun, I have something to arrange for you."

Hearing the words "Miaoyun's wife", Xu Miaoyun's face suddenly turned red, and she stepped forward and pinched Zhu Ju secretly.

"You...what nonsense are you talking about! This is in public."

She spat under her breath, her tone a little flustered.

"Hey, are you still panicking? You were quite brave before..."

"Oh! Okay, okay, let's stop talking and talk about business!"

Zhu Ju was so annoyed by her that he dared not say anything more. He kept saying,

"You brought your stuff, didn't you? Just a drawing board, brushes, and stuff."

Seeing that he changed the subject, Xu Miaoyun let go and nodded.

"Go and ask someone to get it. This is such a great material. Draw it and you will be the number one female reporter in the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Ju ordered,
"Just use the quick sketching method I taught you. Don't worry about the artistic conception. Our main focus is on reality. Do you understand?"

"Record today's scene in the most realistic way. This show is a complete set! If you can do it, dad will definitely praise you. Maybe he will even make you the most talented woman in the Ming Dynasty!"

"There is no time to lose, go quickly!"

Xu Miaoyun's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this.

"Okay, I'll go right away!"

Zhu Ju's idea is indeed brilliant.

She didn't care about whether she was talented or not, she just felt that the scene before her was indeed very meaningful!
Xu Miaoyun ran away quickly, Zhu Ju grinned and started eating the watermelon again.

"Stop chewing! You're going to eat all the fruit we brought!"

Ma Xiuying snatched the half-eaten watermelon from Zhu Ju's hand and said unhappily,
"I've discovered that you're such a big eater! You're always stuffing food into your mouth, and you never stop!"

"Leave some for your father and the others!"

"Let me ask you, what did you call Miaoyun just now?"

Zhu Ju scratched his head.

"Nothing!"

He said calmly,

"I just called her normally."

Ma Xiuying snorted softly and twisted Zhu Ju's ear and said:
"Do you think your mother is deaf? I clearly heard her say 'wife'!"

"Good boy, you've come to your senses so quickly? A few days ago, you were still trying to refuse to marry me, but now you're calling me that in public. You really have no shame!"

"It seems that I can't trust your broken mouth anymore. It's pure deception!"

This kid is really two-faced!

Zhu Ju: “…”

"I was just kidding her..."

Ma Xiuying put her hands on her waist and raised her eyebrows:

"Can you make such a joke? It concerns the innocence of a girl!"

"If someone else hears it, and you regret not marrying her, how can she get married in the future?"

Zhu Ju looked annoyed.

"I don't regret it, I don't regret it..."

He muttered.

When Ma Xiuying heard this, her brows relaxed and she smiled.

"That's really strange. Have you changed your personality? It seems that something must have happened in the past few days that I don't know about."

"Well... I have to ask Miaoyun carefully next time. Could it be that she has drugged you? Haha..."

Zhu Ju's old face turned red, and he was about to speak when he saw Zhu Yuanzhang walking out of the paddy field, his feet already covered in mud.

'Oh! I'm so tired!'

Old Zhu wiped the sweat from his forehead, walked all the way to Ma Xiuying, sat down on the edge of the field without caring about his image, and stretched out his hand,

"Sister, give us some watermelon. We are so tired and thirsty after planting this half acre of land. It is not easy to be a farmer!"

"Hurry up, I'm dying of thirst!"

At this moment, the breathless Lao Zhu just wanted to eat a piece of sweet and cool watermelon!

"Watermelon... anything else is okay?"

Ma Xiuying looked at the fruits beside her, picked and chose for a long time, and said,
"There are only these few small melons left."

"Little Orange has eaten almost all of the watermelon, and only the half he just ate is left, and I snatched it from his mouth."

"Do you want it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "???"

He looked at the half-eaten watermelon that was being bitten by a dog, then looked at Zhu Ju who was whistling beside him, and his face suddenly turned dark!
"You little bastard!"

Old Zhu said angrily,

"Everyone else is farming, and the younger ones like you are helping! But you are here, stealing all our melons!"

"Go get out of here and farm! Plant two acres for me! You can't eat if you don't finish it!"

Da da da!
The jade pendant on Zhu Ju's chest began to vibrate.

However, Zhu Ju was not happy to hear this and retorted:

"No! This is just a performance! You can act if you want, but why do you have to bring me along?"

“I can’t grow it!”

Zhu Yuanzhang: "!!!"

"Performance?"

Old Zhu widened his eyes and said angrily,

"What the hell are you talking about! I've been working so hard to plant the crops for a long time and my legs are so tired that they're weak. Do you call this a performance?"

"We are setting an example! Do you understand?"

When he heard these two words, his nose almost became crooked with anger!

After working so hard for so long, people simply label it as a "performance". Anyone would be angry!
"example?"

Zhu Ju sneered and said,
"If you really set an example, you wouldn't have planted the seedlings like that."

"Those who know you are planting rice will think you are burying some treasures!"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "!!!"

Da da da!
The jade pendant was shaking violently!

"you!"

Old Zhu was so angry that he grabbed Zhu Ju's clothes and roughly dragged him to the edge of the paddy field, and ordered,
"That look? What look? What's wrong with what we planted? Tell me!"

"If you can't give me a good answer, you don't have to go back home today. Just stay here all night!"

The two people's movements attracted everyone's attention.

"I've made Dad angry again, ah..."

Zhu Biao held his forehead with his hand, looking helpless.

Under the scorching sun, he felt dizzy.

To be honest, Zhu Biao really didn't want to farm this land, but there was no other way. As the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, no matter how weak he was, he had to grit his teeth and persevere!

If I have to faint, I have to faint after I go back! At least I can’t faint now!
"What's the problem? You wouldn't believe me even if I told you."

Zhu Ju crossed his arms and said,

"You can find an ordinary farmer to take a look and you will know."

Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath.

"Lin Xiu!"

"I'm your humble servant." Lin Xiu bowed.

"Go, find an experienced farmer! The one over there, tell him to stop working and ask him to come over and take a look. Remember, don't reveal your identity!"

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at a man who was doing farm work not far away and gave instructions.

"According to the order!"

Lin Xiu responded and left.

In a moment, the farmer had walked up along the ridge of the field.

"What are you doing? Isn't this delaying my work?"

The man seemed a little impatient. Although he came out, his attitude was not very good.

"This brother."

Zhu Yuanzhang put on a kind smile and said,
"I asked you to come over because I want you to help me check if there is any problem with the rice seedlings we planted."

The man rolled his eyes.

"Is there any need to see this? Anyone who is not a fool can do it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "..."

Lin Xiu quickly pushed him and whispered:

"Brother, don't be so angry. This is... my master! He doesn't usually farm, so I came here to ask you."

When I came, I told him to relax.

But telling him to relax doesn’t mean he should be more unrestrained!

"Oh, it turns out to be the landlord. That's not surprising. Although the landlord eats more than us ordinary people every day, he doesn't farm the land!"

The man grinned and said,
"Okay! Then let us help you find it! Which piece of land?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was not annoyed when he heard this, but pointed to the paddy fields on the left.

“This is it.”

"This kind of thing... is it okay?"

When asking this question, Zhu Yuanzhang felt inexplicably more nervous.

Everyone looked over there as well.

"This……"

The man went down to the paddy field, looked at a few rice seedlings, and suddenly raised his head and cursed,
“Who planted this?”

"Isn't this just a complete waste of seedlings? If you plant them this way, the seedlings won't turn green and will all die!"

"The person who farmed this must be a little bit mentally ill! A normal person wouldn't do such a thing!" "This is a joke!"

"..."

He was a chatterbox who never stopped talking. Zhu Yuanzhang's face gradually turned darker after hearing him...

Zhu Ju burst into laughter and clapped his hands:
"Yes!"

"No normal person would do such a thing! This is purely a joke!"

"Hahahaha, big brother is a straightforward person! Nothing wrong with him, absolutely nothing wrong with him!"

This big brother is great. He scolded Lao Zhu and was even more powerful than me!

The key is that Lao Zhu can’t refute it!
"Alright, alright! Stop talking!"

Lin Xiu glared and said,
"What's wrong with you! You... that's enough, go back and farm your land!"

He was kind of regretting calling this bastard. He was just a complete fool and couldn't understand his instructions!
"It's okay."

Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath and waved his hand.

"If you don't plant well, you should be scolded."

"After all, these seedlings are hard to come by. If they all die, it would be a huge waste!"

"Brother, can you take a look at the other fields and give them some pointers?"

Upon hearing this, the man did not refuse and looked at it with his hands behind his back.

"I may not be good at other things, but when it comes to farming, I am definitely an expert!"

"Whether you grow crops well or not, and whether your technique is sophisticated or not, we can tell at a glance!"

"Look, this piece of land has the same problem as yours. Why do you plant the rice so deep? Are you afraid that it won't stand?"

"And this piece... Now it's the other way around. It's too shallow! When you add water, all the seedlings will float up, and all your efforts will be in vain! All that will float up will be the dead bodies of the seedlings!"

"Ouch! What's wrong with you guys? Do you know how to farm? You are so crooked and messy. Are you here to farm or to have fun? Don't waste such good farmland, okay?"

"..."

This scolding made everyone present look black.

They work so hard, facing the earth and with their backs to the sky, but in the end, they are worthless in the eyes of others!
Who can stand this?

"You're talking nonsense! What's wrong with what I planted here?"

"Come, come! Open your eyes and look. Mine is so neat and tidy, and you actually say it's messy and crooked?"

"That's nonsense!"

Some of the hot-tempered ones all want to beat this guy up at this moment!
However, Zhu Yuanzhang just glanced over and made all the generals shut up.

Although he didn't say anything, his eyes were still glaring fiercely.

"What did I say? I said you were performing?"

Zhu Ju raised his head and said with some pride,

"You didn't believe it yet, do you believe it now?"

"Humph!"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "..."

At this moment, Zhu Ju was being too arrogant, but Zhu Yuanzhang ignored him and turned to look at the farmer, saying earnestly:

"Brother, you are right. We haven't farmed for a long time, so our skills are not so good anymore."

"How about this, you teach us... give us a demonstration, so that we can plant the land well and not waste these good fields, right?"

When the man heard this, he snorted.

"You have a good attitude, much gentler than the average landlord."

He said,

"Okay! Then I'll show you how!"

"Everything is ready—"

As he said this, he went down to the paddy field, pulled out one of Zhu Yuanzhang's seedlings, and dug the soil with his hands to restore the hole.

“Don’t press too hard, don’t pierce too deep.”

"Just like that, plant it gently... See, isn't it good like this? Now you don't have to move it! Transplanting rice is the simplest job, it's just that bending over is tiring."

"Let me try again. Look - choose the right spot and plant it with your hands! You don't have to push it too deep, but it can't be too shallow either. It's just right like this. I've been planting for decades, and this is the best way. I guarantee it won't die!"

After demonstrating it twice, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly understood.

"I see! I used too much force just now!"

He shook his head and laughed, sighing,
"Let's just say, there's nothing wrong with this posture! How could there be a problem? It turns out it's the depth."

"You really can't underestimate this job! Although transplanting rice is simple, you have to be careful with the right amount of work - you all saw it? You all understand it, right?"

Old Zhu looked around.

Everyone nodded... We are all smart people, how could we not understand?
It’s just that he has never done any farm work on a daily basis. Even if he had farmed before, it has been more than ten or twenty years since he last did so. His hands are not very skilled and naturally he has lost his sense of propriety.

"it is good!"

"Then pull out all the plants you planted previously and plant them all over again!"

"This brother is right! We can't waste such good farmland! It was cultivated by the hard work of the common people. The water is also precious, we can't waste it!"

When Lao Zhu gave the order, everyone felt like the sky was falling.

After working for so long, I have to start all over again!
Who can stand this?
"Old man, I really can't do it anymore. My waist is so old..."

"Oh! This is really going to kill me! Farming, farming... oh!"

"Alright, alright, stop complaining. Let's keep working! We have to finish planting this acre of land anyway..."

"..."

Although he was complaining in his heart, there was nothing he could do because the emperor's orders were above everything else.
They could only go back, pull up all the original seedlings, and then plant them again...

"Brother, take a break first and guide us here."

Zhu Yuanzhang was not at all upset by the man's bad attitude, and said kindly,
"I won't let you guide me for nothing - sister, give this brother a cantaloupe to quench his thirst!"

Ma Xiuying nodded and handed the melon over.

"Brother, here you go."

"Thank you!" The man was not polite and took the melon and started eating it.

Seeing him so relaxed, Lin Xiu on the side became nervous, fearing that this bastard might accidentally let something slip.

Damn it, who arranged this person?

I will definitely kill him when I get back!

Lin Xiu growled in his heart, but he still kept smiling on the surface.

"Dad, look, what did I say?"

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang ignored him, Zhu Ju stepped forward to "take credit" and said,

"I found the problem. How are you going to thank me?"

Zhu Yuanzhang’s face turned black!
"go away!"

"I need to take a break and chat with them! Go and plant our one acre of land! Remember, everything must be done according to their standards, don't mess around!"

"Go!"

He kicked Zhu Ju on the butt and kicked him into the paddy field.

"I rely on!"

Zhu Ju stumbled and nearly fell into the paddy field. He turned around and cursed inwardly,
"Damn you Zhu Chongba! You only know how to tell me to work!"

"I'll fuck you, I'll fuck your head!"

He grabbed a handful of seedlings, walked to the middle of the paddy field, and said nothing. When Lao Zhu turned his back to chat with the man, he suddenly threw them into the sky!
Hoo! Hoo!
The seedlings fell from the sky and twisted their heads into the paddy fields. Some of them fell face down on the ground. Zhu Ju picked them up again and repeated the action.

Duh duh duh!
Duh duh duh!
"Brother, how many people are there in your family?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a smile.

"There are six of us. The parents are still alive, and there are two little ones, a boy and a girl."

The man answered casually while chewing a melon.

"That's great, a son and a daughter! With so many people, do you have enough to eat on weekdays?"

Zhu Yuanzhang clapped his hands and asked again.

"Eat... just make do with what you have."

The man glanced at Lin Xiu and saw that Lin was staring at him, so he could only mumble,

"You won't die from overeating, and you won't get too hungry either."

Zhu Yuanzhang did not respond to this answer, but just nodded.

"In Fengyang, do the landlords and tyrants oppress the common people?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked in a low voice,
"Brother, we see that you are an honest man. Can you tell us the truth?"

The man curled his lips.

"Is it none of your business? You act as if you have any control over it!"

His words were blunt and he snorted.

Zhu Yuanzhang: "..."

"From your tone, you seem to be quite resentful... so is that right?"

Old Zhu felt a little annoyed by this, but he finally endured it and spoke patiently.

"No! No! We are in Fengyang! Other places have it, but not in Fengyang!"

The man threw the melon peel aside, stood up, clapped his hands, and said with a smile,
"We have good things in Fengyang. The common people, officials, and landlords are all good people!"

"And an emperor has emerged! How can this be bad?"

"I wake up with a smile every day! Being born in Fengyang is such a blessing that I have earned in eight lifetimes!"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.

"Brother, why do your words sound so harsh to me?"

He said unhappily,

"Can't you just talk properly?"

The man heard this and said:
"My words are harsh? I only speak the truth!"

"If it sounds harsh to you, it must be because there is something wrong with your ears, not with my speech."

"That's enough! We've rested enough, and it's time for me to go! I still have a large area of ​​land waiting for me to clean up! I don't have that much free time to chat with you."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang did not want to keep him any longer.

He originally thought that this guy was an honest person and wanted to hear some truth, but this guy spoke in a sarcastic tone and had a very bad attitude, which made him dislike him very much.

Old Zhu turned around to see how everyone was planting, but he saw Zhu Ju throwing seedlings into the sky for fun...

"Zhu! Ju!!!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and roared,
"Stop it, you bastard!!"

He was so angry that he almost went berserk. He rushed into the paddy field, grabbed Zhu Ju's hand, and wanted to spank him without saying a word!

"Hey!"

"What are you doing? I'm in such a place! Don't come and mess with me!"

Zhu Yuanzhang; "!!!"

"Bullshit! You call this farming? You're just playing!"

"You are wasting these good rice seedlings! These are cultivated by the people with great effort, don't you know?!"

"I have to beat you up! Even if your grandfather comes today, it won't help!"

He put Zhu Ju on his knees, which was the standard spanking position!

"You know nothing!"

"This is called the rice-throwing method! Do you understand the rice-throwing method? Put me down now!"

Zhu Ju fluttered and screamed!
"Throwing rice seedlings? Are you kidding me? Do you think I'm stupid and can fool me by making up such a name?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that his teeth itched and said viciously.

This kid definitely deserves a beating!
However, at this moment, the farmer looked over and said in surprise:

"Hey! Where did you learn to throw rice seedlings?"

“This toss is pretty good!”

Zhu Yuanzhang: "?"

After hearing the 'expert's' comments, Lao Zhu was also a little confused.

The main thing is that this guy's attitude has always been rather bad. He basically never has any nice words to say, and even if he does, they are always sarcastic.

Therefore, the word "okay" is rare.

flap!

Zhu Ju took advantage of Zhu Yuanzhang's moment of distraction and quickly broke free from his iron grip, standing with his hands on his hips and spitting:
"You're beating people indiscriminately again!"

"I think grandpa should really come out and give you a good lesson, so that you can change this bad habit!"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "#￥%……&@!!!"

Da da da!
Zhu Ju's jade pendant was vibrating. This thing vibrated all the time, and he was used to it.

"Let me tell you, this is called throwing rice seedlings, and it's a technical job!"

Zhu Ju pointed at the rice seedlings in the paddy field and raised his head and said,

"Although it's a bit messy, the survival rate is very high! And if you calculate carefully, it's actually not much less than planting rice in rows!"

"But it has many advantages, such as saving trouble and not hurting your waist. As long as you master some skills, you can do it with ease!"

"Do you understand?"

I also lived a hard life in the past. I followed my grandparents and worked in the fields.

"This……"

"Can this still happen?"

"If we had known we could throw them this way, why would we insert them one by one? We can just throw them all together!"

Seeing Zhu Ju taking shortcuts, everyone quit.

If you can be lazy, then of course you should be lazy!
"Can this rice seedling really survive?"

Ma Xiuying looked at the crooked seedlings in the paddy field and couldn't help feeling confused.

"You can live, big sister."

The man suddenly interrupted and said,

"I saw that your son threw it very well, and the depth of the shot was pretty good."

"It seems that he has a talent for farm work!"

Ma Xiuying couldn't help but smile when she heard this.

"That's right, my son is a genius, he can learn everything without any teacher!"

She looked proudly at Zhu Yuanzhang and said,

"Zhongba, did you hear that? People are praising Xiaojuzi for growing such a good orange! I didn't expect that this kid even knows this..."

Zhu Yuanzhang: "..."

"What's so good about it! It's so crooked and ugly!"

Old Zhu said unhappily,
"When farming, you also need to pay attention to beauty! It has to be neat and tidy! Do you understand?"

"Otherwise, people will see that the emperor is planting a bunch of useless crops, and the world will laugh at him!"

Hearing this, Zhu Ju couldn't help but spread his hands.

"Look, I told you that you were putting on a show, but you refused to admit it. Now you're exposed, right?"

He shrugged.
"It's obvious that throwing seedlings is more efficient, but you took the trouble to plant them one by one just to make them look good."

"Tsk tsk...you can plant it if you want. I'm not going to do it anyway."

As he spoke, Zhu Ju climbed onto the ridge of the field, leaving only the back of Zhu Yuanzhang's head visible.

"you……"

Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely angry, but he could not refute it, so he could only pull out the seedlings in the field again.

Poor seedlings, after several times of planting and pulling out, many of them have wilted.

At this moment, Xu Miaoyun ran up panting.

"Your Highness, Your Highness!"

"I've got the paper, pen and drawing board. Shall we start painting now?"

She said excitedly.

"Well, my father wants to put on a show, so you should paint him well and focus on painting him."

Zhu Ju grinned and said,

"You have to depict his hard work! Describe his profile carefully!"

"Also, I want to give a close-up of my eldest brother, so I'll draw him in detail. As for the rest, just draw casually."

"You draw, and I'll guide you."

His voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but it could be heard by everyone.

When they heard that they were going to be painted, everyone perked up, and their originally hunched backs straightened a little... Even if they were farming, they had to pay attention to their image!
Even though it is just on the edge of the painting, this time, it is a picture of the emperor ploughing the field himself, and it might be passed down through the ages!

It’s good to be able to show your face!

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard that Xu Miaoyun and Zhu Ju wanted to paint this scene, he was no longer angry and hurriedly picked up the seedlings and planted them.

Swish swish.

Swish swish.

Xu Miaoyun was a talented woman after all. She simply drew an outline and started painting.

"Dad, bend your back a little more! You don't look like an old farmer now!"

"You have to be down-to-earth! Turn your head slightly, yes, and show a simple and honest smile. Oh, this simple and honest fart! It's scary to look at it. Do you want this painting to stop children from crying at night?"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "￥&*……#￥@!!!"

"I..."

He wanted to be angry, but in the end he held it in and patiently listened to Zhu Ju's instructions.

There's nothing we can do about it. Who told him to want a good effect?

All right! I’m going to show off. I want to show off and let the world see that Zhu Yuanzhang is working hard on the land!!!

After figuring this out, Lao Zhu no longer hid it and simply cooperated with Zhu Ju to pose in various postures.

Farming comes second.

The key is to achieve good painting effect!
"Hey, look at our dad. He's like a monkey."

Zhu Ju laughed and said,
"He has to do whatever we tell him to do. This is just monkey show!"

Xu Miaoyun also giggled when she heard this, but she only dared to laugh secretly and not show it openly.

Zhu Ju blew gently beside her earlobe and whispered:

"I'll come to your place for some snacks tonight, okay?"

Xu Miaoyun's earlobes suddenly turned red, she twisted her body and whispered:

"What are you doing here... I don't have any good snacks."

Zhu Ju's mouth corners slightly raised.

"Yes, the rouge on your lips is the best dessert."

Xu Miaoyun's body went limp, she staggered and almost fell into Zhu Ju's arms.

How could she bear such teasing? Not to mention, in public, in full view of everyone?

Although...it is indeed quite exciting.

"Ahem, alright, alright, I won't joke with you anymore..."

Zhu Ju coughed dryly and said,
"Paint it for dad properly. Otherwise, after fiddling with it for so long, if I can't achieve the effect he expects, he will definitely beat me to death!"
