The crown prince wiped the rain off his face, strode over to him, and kicked the kneeling middle-aged official in the chest.
Clang! Clang!
The middle-aged official was kicked a meter away! He rolled over once before coming to a stop.
He quickly got up, knelt down, and prostrated himself on the ground, begging for mercy.
The crown prince ignored his pleas for mercy.
"Guards, drag him out!"
Two men in black suddenly appeared behind Xuan Shen and the others.
The two men, each holding something in their hands, stuffed it into the middle-aged man's incessantly chattering mouth.
They dragged him out of the room and disappeared into the rainy night.
This series of actions happened too fast.
At this moment, the people kneeling on the ground and the people standing realized that the annoying guy had been dragged out by the Crown Prince's men!
Du Yanqing and Pang Pangzi both knelt down on the ground with a thud.
"Your Highness, please calm down. It is all my fault for failing to discipline him properly, which has allowed him to be so arrogant time and time again!"
Li Lanzhen looked at Du Yanqing kneeling on the ground, bowed her head without raising her head, and said these words to the Crown Prince.
But the fat man next to him was trembling all over.
Li Lanzhen thought to herself that Du Yanqing, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was a calm, composed, and unperturbed person.
The Crown Prince is so young yet he has such decisiveness, and his kick was incredibly powerful!
The prince glanced at the village committee members and said gently.
"Everyone in Peach Blossom Spring, please stand up. You're busy, go about your business."
After Han Shunde and the others stood up, they stopped talking and just stood there watching.
After a moment of silence, the Crown Prince waved his hand to let Du Yanqing and Fatty, who were kneeling on the ground, get up.
"It's none of your business, Minister Du. You should organize the materials these next few days, then submit them to me for review before returning them to you."
In the upcoming agricultural activities, you must take the lead and actively participate.
Only by participating and experiencing it firsthand can one truly appreciate how hard and difficult it is for ordinary people to grow grain.
Only then can we truly understand the hardships endured by everyone in Peach Blossom Spring, and only then can we comprehend how crucial the grains discovered and cultivated by Aunt Lanzhen are to our Li Dynasty.
You all, talk less and do more!
Then he bowed to Li Lanzhen.
"Auntie, it's all my fault. I didn't discipline him properly, and he offended you again and again!"
Don't worry, this will never happen again!
After he finished speaking, he glanced sharply at Du Yanqing and Fatty Pang standing next to him.
Li Lianzhen clearly saw the anger and murderous intent in his eyes.
The two officials from the Ministry of Revenue also sensed the Crown Prince's feelings, and both of them stood solemnly with their heads bowed.
The prince turned and nodded to the people from Peach Blossom Spring Village Committee before walking out.
After Du Yanqing respectfully saw the Crown Prince out, he walked up to Li Lanzhen, stood still, and bowed to her with his hands clasped in greeting.
"Aunt Lanzhen, I'm so sorry. It's all my fault for not disciplining him properly, which is why he hurt you."
Li Lanzhen didn't want to say anything more.
I'm so tired after working for a whole day and night!
I came here hoping to see what the wheat looked like after being soaked by the rain.
Then, based on the condition of the wheat, a further decision on how to proceed will be made.
I never expected to run into someone like this, a real gambler!
It's like cracking open a fragrant melon seed and finding a stink bug inside.
That's absolutely disgusting!
She didn't say anything, neither "it's okay" nor "it's alright," and glanced at Du Yanjie.
He turned to Han Shunde and the others and said.
"Should we separate these bundles of wheat? Stacking them together like this is really not a good idea."
Another method I just mentioned is to simply pile them up together.
I might as well let the wheat sprout a little, then I'll boil it into maltose tomorrow.
As soon as she finished speaking, Xue Laohu and the others immediately responded.
"We'll do as you say and turn all this wheat into maltose, adding roasted dried fruit inside."
We won't exchange these maltose candies for money; we'll share some with each family, so the children and adults can eat them too!
They were actually saying these words to Li Lanzhen, but their eyes were fixed on Du Yanqing and Fatty Pang.
These two people could also sense their dissatisfaction and protest from their eyes and attitude!
Li Lanzhen nodded, ignored everyone, and turned to leave the dining room.
Exhausted! Time to go home! Wash up and go to bed!
Lying on the kang (a heated brick bed), Li Lanzhen pondered what would become of that middle-aged official.
Finally, she snorted coldly. Who cares what his fate is? Some people don't die because they don't do stupid things!
The storm came quickly and went quickly, stopping in the middle of the night.
When I woke up in the morning, I saw that the potholes in the road in the yard were filled with water, and only then could I confirm that the torrential rain and strong winds last night were real and not a dream.
Because the dining hall was already full of wheat, people of all ages lined up to get their meals that day. Once they got their food, they could either take it home to eat or find a place outside to squat and eat.
Zhang Deshui and Han Shunde discussed it with a few others.
Although the wind has stopped and the rain has ceased, we still can't go into the fields, so we might as well rest for a day and check again tomorrow.
So Han Shunde told everyone that they could rest for the day.
If you want to earn work points, you can freely choose to do the work according to the various work point earning projects announced by the village at the beginning of spring.
Those who don't want to work can rest at home for a day.
Li Lanzhen took a closer look and noticed that the middle-aged official was not among the people queuing for breakfast in the morning.
All I saw were Du Yanqing and Fatty Pang.
Pang, who used to be all smiles and mingled with the adults and children in the village, looked listless this morning, waiting in line for his meal.
Li Lanzhen didn't want to investigate further about where this person had gone.
These are all things that the Crown Prince and Du Yanqing will have to deal with after they return to the court.
It has nothing to do with her, and it has nothing to do with Peach Blossom Spring!
Han Shunde instructed the children not to go near the wheat drying ground today.
Let the sun dry the wheat field quickly.
Before the wheat threshing floor dries, if people or animals step on it, they will leave footprints. After the sun dries it, it will become hard, hollow clumps.
It is detrimental and not beneficial to the subsequent work of drying and threshing wheat.
Zhang Songshu led a group of people to the warehouse, opened the doors and windows to ventilate the area.
Currently, 12 round, pointed granaries have been built in Taohuayuan.
Pang the Fat Man played a leading role in the construction of the granary.
He drew up blueprints for everyone based on the appearance of the imperial granaries.
The explanations of each part of the granary are very detailed.
Then, based on the map of the granary she saw in the space, Li Lanzhen offered some suggestions.
Therefore, the 12 granaries in Peach Blossom Spring, after being improved, not only greatly increased the amount of grain stored, but also took into account all aspects such as ventilation, moisture prevention, and rodent and ant prevention.
Li Lanzhen strolled around the granary.
Seeing that the wheat grains stored in the granary had not been damaged by yesterday's storm, I felt relieved.
Such granaries need to be repaired during the off-season this year.
Because by next year, the wheat planting area should reach more than 8,000 mu.
The rice planting area should reach more than 3,000 mu.
As she walked, she came to the edge of the rice paddy.
Looking into the distance, the bright sunlight shines on the golden rice fields.
I don't know if it's the dazzling sunlight or the heavy, golden ears of rice that are more dazzling.
Han Shunde and several others stood by the field, pointing into it, and it was unclear what they were saying.
As we got closer, we heard them say that they could lure all the rice paddy fish out of the paddy fields today.
Let the rice paddy fish swim into the ditch next to the rice paddy.
Then you have to drain all the water from the paddy field.
After drying for a day, the rice can be harvested in the fields tomorrow or the day after.
