The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 695

[Chapter 695: Down to earth!]

No one answered.

It’s not that they didn’t answer, they just didn’t respond.

Indeed, no matter who sees the emperor, he will not be able to react without a certain amount of time.

Emperor Chu was not in a hurry, and just looked at them with a warm smile.

After a while, a farmer finally reacted and whispered: “Yes, yes.”

Emperor Chu looked at the farmer and asked: “Are all the sweet potatoes in this field?”

The farmer raised his eyes cautiously and looked. He glanced at Emperor Chu and replied: “As far as the emperor is concerned, sweet potatoes are grown in the fields around here.”

“Yes.” Emperor Chu nodded gently, looked at the farmer, and asked: “You guys What are you doing?”

The farmer replied: “They are harvesting sweet potatoes. The time is up. If they are not dug out, they will rot in the ground.”

Emperor Chu looked around.

Indeed, most farmers dig sweet potatoes in the fields.

Emperor Chu thought for a while and asked: “How much can be harvested from this acre of land?”

The farmer replied: “It should be several thousand gold, and we have not even calculated it.”

These farmers were recruited from nearby areas, and this land It’s not their land, so it’s normal that it hasn’t been counted.

Before Emperor Chu came here, he had some knowledge of these things.

Therefore, he didn’t say anything, he just waved his hand, summoned the general who was responsible for the nearby guard, and issued the order.

“Ask all your people to come over and help them dig sweet potatoes. I want to see how many sweet potatoes there are in this acre of land!”

The general hesitated when he heard this.

After all, they are responsible for the emperor’s safety.

They all went to dig sweet potatoes. If there was any problem with the emperor’s safety, how should he explain it?

Although he hesitated, he thought about it.

There was still no objection, and he accepted the order and said: “Yes, Your Majesty!”

Then, he turned around and found dozens of stronger pro-soldiers and came to the farmer’s side.

“You guys want to dig sweet potatoes.”

“Yes.” The general nodded.

A few people picked a piece of land and followed the farmer to dig up sweet potatoes.

Emperor Chu stood aside and watched.

Although it is spring, the weather is already a bit hot.

Liu Cheng found an oil-paper umbrella from somewhere to protect Emperor Chu from the sun.

Emperor Chu waved his hand and said, “I want to dig up these sweet potatoes myself and see what they are like.” When

Liu Cheng heard this, he was slightly startled, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face. , hurriedly said: “Your Majesty, no!”

Digging sweet potatoes is actually so easy.

Although it is so easy for these farmers to do it, it is actually very difficult!

Before Liu Cheng became an eunuch, his family was also poor and farmed.

You know how tired farmers are during this harvest time.

If Your Majesty wants to experience it, there is nothing wrong with it.

But looking at His Majesty’s attitude, it’s obvious that he wants to dig sweet potatoes with the farmers, so there’s a problem!

Your Majesty is a man of great wealth. What should I do if something unexpected happens while digging sweet potatoes?

Liu Cheng said with a mournful face, “Your Majesty, digging sweet potatoes is very tiring. You are a man of gold, a body of ten thousand gold. You are carrying the country and the country on your shoulders!

You still” He

hadn’t finished his words yet. , he saw Emperor Chu waving his hands and said: “It is noon on the day of hoeing, and the sweat is dripping from the soil. Whoever eats the food on the plate has worked hard for every grain. This poem has been firmly in my mind since I was a few years old. I have

kept it in my heart.

However, I have only learned from these poems and words, but I have never experienced it personally.

Today, I want to experience firsthand how miserable this farmer is. It’s painful.

It’s just digging sweet potatoes. I know what’s appropriate. If I’m tired or tired, I won’t continue. You don’t have to be so nervous.”

Liu Cheng showed hesitation on his face when he heard this.

I don’t know how long I have been thinking about it, but I am about to send someone to protect His Majesty.

I saw that His Majesty had already picked up the hoe and walked to the field.

When he saw this scene, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he hurriedly approached.

However, halfway through, his steps paused slightly.

After hesitating for an unknown amount of time, he turned around and took a hoe from the guard, followed Emperor Chu to dig up sweet potatoes.

Your Majesty is digging sweet potatoes there.

He is just a servant, watching from the side, what does that mean?

To be able to achieve this position, Liu Cheng knows this better than anyone else and understands it better than anyone else.

“This sweet potato sounds so miraculous, capable of saving people and providing food to millions of people, but it looks so ordinary.

Apart from anything else, it looks like a wild vegetable. “

Huang Chu dug up a piece of sweet potato, looked at it carefully for a moment, and sighed like this. When

Liu Cheng heard this, he didn’t answer.

The reason was simple

. He was tired.

Although he only dug a few pieces of sweet potato, he had already Tired.

Despite his strong martial arts skills, he

still has a burst of energy in a moment. Digging sweet potatoes requires not explosive power, but physical strength for long hours of work.

Emperor Chu is also tired after digging two pieces of sweet potatoes. .

He put down the piece of sweet potato, frowned, and sighed: “I just dug for a while, and I’m so tired.

Those farmers don’t seem to be much different in age from me, but they have to stand in the sun for several hours, repeatedly waving their hoes, saying,

“

It’s noon to hoe the crops, and the sweat drips from the soil

. Even if I read it a thousand times, Reading such verses ten thousand times is not as practical as experiencing it personally. “

When he said this, he sighed deeply.

Because before, he believed in these poems and these words very much.

However, at this moment, he realized that these words and these poems were not actually at all. What.

Those literati, those poets sitting at home, drinking wine, drinking tea, writing such poems,

what does it mean

to those who read poetry ?

When they read these poems, they just want to feel the hard work of farmers and the various situations in the world.

But doesn’t this make them moved? No matter how many poems they read, it is really better to do something

for a while

.

Emperor Chu didn’t know what to say.

He just felt that the past forty or fifty years had been wasted.

At the same time, he seemed to understand

why Fang Xiu knew so much and why others could do so many things. It didn’t work, but he did it easily.

Because he knew that

it was better to have no books. He knew

that

many things could not be solved by

being down -to

– earth.

Only when you understand it will you know how to solve it
