Jiang Tuantuan gave the purchased seeds to Erlaizi. Erlaizi had been idle for many days and felt uncomfortable all over and was anxious.
Now we can finally get to work. According to Jiang Tuantuan's requirements, different varieties of wheat and rice must be planted separately, and the changes must be recorded for identification.
Erlaizi simply divided the wheat into one, two, and three, but Dafang rolled his eyes at him. Dafang had learned a few words when he was a child, so he took out a piece of paper and a pen, and wrote down the variety and type of wheat according to the corresponding type, and also numbered it on the paper. He also wrote down clearly how many acres he had planted.
The second beggar complimented, "My wife is the smartest."
Dafang said helplessly: "Just write one, two, three. If you forget after a long time, you won't be able to tell them apart."
Erlaizi works from morning to night every day, and Dafang works together, but all the hard work is done by Erlaizi. Fufu can only spend time with his parents at night. In the past, Fufu would cry and make a fuss during the day, but later he had no choice but to be a good boy.
In order to earn more money and settle down in the capital earlier, Er Laizi would get up at dawn and go to the woods to look for animals and plants he had never seen before. He would use the picture album written by Jiang Tuantuan to compare them one by one. His hard work paid off and he would always find one after two or three days.
It was early spring, the season for sowing, and the emperor planned to go out and inspect the people's conditions and take a look around the capital, so he only brought with him General Lin, the commander of the imperial guards, and a servant. The three of them dressed in casual clothes and set off at full speed.
He first visited several counties and villages around the capital. The people had already started working, and the emperor was very satisfied. In order to return to the palace to handle official business as soon as possible, he set out before dawn.
When passing by a hill, I saw a figure sneaking around, lying on the ground, looking around, as if looking for something.
He looked around from time to time, and held a hoe in his hand.
The emperor said, "What is that man doing? He doesn't look like a good person."
General Lin protected the emperor. The servant dismounted and walked towards the hill, getting closer and closer to the man, and was not discovered at all. The servant coughed loudly.
The second beggar who was looking for plants was so frightened that he screamed, "What are you doing here so early in the morning? Do you know that scaring people can kill people? Your scream almost scared me to death."
Erlaizi put away the hoe in his hand and smiled awkwardly, "Oh, look for something," then he squatted on the ground and started looking again.
The servant said, "Don't look for me anymore. Our master has something to ask you. Come with me."
The second beggar said unhappily, "I don't know your master, and I'm still busy."
The servant felt provoked and got angry. "If you don't come with me, I won't be polite!"
"No disrespect."
The emperor also dismounted and came to the hill. When he heard the servant say this, he scolded him angrily.
"Don't be angry, little brother. We are just curious about what you are doing, so we came to ask. Please forgive us if we have offended you."
Er Laizi saw that the man in front of him was very imposing and well-mannered, and spoke very politely, so he also said politely: "I just came here to look for some animals and plants I haven't seen before work."
The emperor saw a stack of paper in his basket with some writings and drawings on it. He asked curiously, "What's in the basket?"
Er Laizi hurriedly held the backpack tightly. This was something given to him by the group leader. It was a very important thing and could not be lost or snatched away by others. So he looked at the three people in front of him vigilantly, and was planning to run away when they were not paying attention.
The emperor noticed the vigilance in Erlaizi's eyes and quickly explained, "We are just curious. We have no ill intentions and will not steal your things. Don't worry."
General Lin also explained, "Our master is also very interested in plants and animals, so he wanted to come and discuss them. If there are any he hasn't seen before, we can exchange them."
Seeing that the two people in front of him did not seem to be lying, Er Laizi took out a piece of paper from the basket and showed it to the emperor. The emperor carefully read each piece of paper. It described in detail the nature, use, growth environment, and preciousness of each plant. It also drew the appearance of the plant, and the drawings were very good.
The emperor was shocked and returned the paper to the beggar. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "Did you make all this, little brother?"
"No, no, I don't have that ability. This is done by my group leader. I just help her find species she hasn't seen before and earn a few cents."
"Little brother, who is the leader of this group? I really want to visit him."
I was just about to say it, then changed my mind and thought, would this guy do something bad to the group leader? Besides, I don’t know him. Although he doesn’t look like a bad person, who knows whether he has a black or red heart? I can’t tell him.
"I'm not in a position to talk about this. Sorry everyone, I have to go and get busy first." Er Laizi clasped his fists and turned away.
The servant wanted to stop him, but the emperor stopped him. "If he doesn't want to, don't force him. Send someone to keep a secret watch. That way, we'll know who the leader of this group is. I'll leave this matter to you, General Lin."
General Lin: "Yes!"
The servant originally wanted to stop this errand. He wanted to stand out in front of the emperor and show off, but he was snatched away by General Lin. He was very unhappy, but he couldn't show it. On the way back to the palace, his face looked a little pale. All of this was seen by the emperor.
After returning to the palace, the servant was demoted from a guard in the emperor's bedroom to an ordinary guard in the imperial garden. He didn't understand why and what he had done wrong. He had fought for the opportunity to accompany the emperor out of the palace and thought he would be promoted soon. He even showed off to the guards around him, but he was demoted when he came back.
He couldn't accept it at all and even felt that it must be General Lin who harmed him.
The other guards saw this and ran over to taunt him, "Zhang Hao, didn't you say a few days ago that you would be promoted after your return? How come you were demoted? You're even worse than us."
The people around him burst into laughter. Zhang Hao's face turned red and blue, and he cursed, "Get out of here right now! I've been victimized by a traitor. I'll be back sooner or later, humph!"
General Lin sent one of his confidants to keep an eye on Erlaizi. The naive Erlaizi had no idea that he was being followed. The confidant also learned that Erlaizi had gone to Lieutenant General Li's house.
He quickly reported the matter to General Lin, who immediately went to the palace to tell the emperor.
The emperor began to think about it. He didn't expect that he went to Lieutenant General Li's house. Then why did he call Lieutenant General Li the head of the regiment? It was really an interesting name.
