Son of Song Dynasty

Chapter 193 Eating Meat
Zhao Guangyi narrowed his eyes, a murderous look flashed across his face, and then was covered by black air.

"Dezhao! What do you mean, just tell me!"

"Uncle Wang! To be honest, my father came to the field to see me in person in the afternoon. He came in plain clothes and no one noticed. However, he saw the tea leaves in the warehouse."

"You know, of course he recognizes good tea leaves, so he ordered me to investigate this matter thoroughly..."

Zhao Guangyi gasped, thinking that Zhao Dezhao would not lie about this matter.

Zhao Kuangyin must have known about Zhao Dezhao's affairs because of the informant he placed beside Zhao Dezhao.You will know when you go back.

"Okay then! You eat your meal, I'll go back first."

With a sullen face, he strode out of Prince Qi's mansion, and Zhao Guangyi hurried back to Prince Jin's mansion.

Sure enough, the person who reported the message had already sent the message that the Holy Majesty had indeed brought the Queen to see the King of Qi in plain clothes in light clothes in the afternoon.

Then the thing about tea is probably true.

Zhao Guangyi's thoughts changed, it seemed that he couldn't get away with losing money, but in fact, if Zhao Dezhao hadn't risen suddenly, he would have said it to the emperor, and he expected that Zhao Kuangyin would not make things difficult for him.

But the situation is different now. I can't afford to leave a bad review with my brother just for a sum of money.

I can't admit this matter myself, so I have to find a dead ghost to take over.

He found Zhao Youfu and asked him to kick himself to take care of the whole thing, and gave him 100 taels of gold to reward him on the spot, and asked him to arrange a good family.

Although Zhao Youfu was unwilling, he had no choice, not to mention that his family was protected, and Zhao Guangyi swore that he would keep him safe, so he accepted it.

After being busy for a long time, Zhao Guangyi finally got an idea. He became hungry and didn't eat dinner well.

He asked the kitchen to prepare meals and was about to eat when Feng Tian's butler came to ask to see him again.

The butler was pestered by Zhao Dezhao's subordinates to reconcile accounts and check the amount of fertile land, and he was only released until now.

"Your Majesty! Something bad happened. The family's land was expropriated by His Highness the King of Qi..."

"What..." Zhao Guangyi's heart thumped wildly, his veins were exposed, his eyes turned black, and he almost passed out.

"What do you say? Why does this kid want to confiscate my land?"

"Go back to the king! The king of Qi held the imperial card and said that it was bestowed by the holy majesty himself, and he saw it like the governor of Shuntian. Then he said that he was ordered to requisition fertile land to test the yield..."

"Understood, you go down!" Zhao Guangyi's eyes were empty, and his whole body lost all strength.

The loss today is simply too great.

The tea leaves worth tens of millions are gone, and 400 taels of gold have been taken out. Now even the land closures have been requisitioned, although this kind of requisition should be returned in the future.

But I can't stand the embarrassment!

The most important thing is money, tea money and gold, which are the sources of funds for him to win over the generals in the army and secretly arrange many important affairs!
This time it was all folded in, and the loss was heavy!

……

A few days later, Jiang An returned to the capital with the rice seeds purchased from Lingnan.

It just so happens that there is almost enough manure.

Zhao Dezhao changed his previous performance of making small troubles, and started to do it vigorously and decisively.

Wang Jixun and others were punished to pour manure on the newly planted fields.

These honorable ministers, the second generation of the nobles suffered from this hardship, and all of them complained endlessly.

Within two days, everyone had big blisters on their hands. When the protests were ineffective, these guys began to be lazy and slippery under the leadership of Wang Jixun, getting up late, returning early, working hard and so on.

Jiang An and Qian Niu'er were scratching their heads. These honored ministers could only punish them, they couldn't beat them. If one day the Holy Majesty thought of someone who was good, he would be fished out with an imperial decree. Those who beat him at that time would be afraid Is to be unlucky to the end.

"It doesn't matter! If they want to be lazy, just be lazy and ignore them."

As Zhao Dezhao spoke, he taught the two of them a passage with his ear.

Jiang An and Qian Niu'er both smiled and nodded, admiring him very much.

"Your Highness! This trick is absolutely impossible! I don't believe it can't rule them."

On the second day, the dormitories of the reform-through-labor prisoners began to be remodeled.

Part of it is a clean dormitory with beds and soft bedding for every 8 people.

The other part doesn't even have a bed board, it's a full bed for [-] people in a room.Coarse bedding is spread directly on the floor.

Wang Jixun and others didn't realize the situation, and queued up to go out to work as usual.

On the farmland, these people continued to be lazy and slippery in various ways.

Normally, there would be people who would come to scold and shove, but today no one paid any attention to them.

Do it if you like it, and don't do it if you don't like it.What Wang Jixun and others said was cool.

In the blink of an eye, it was noon, and the prisoners brought the meal.

Today's meal actually has meat dishes, as well as white flour steamed buns and white rice.

Wang Jixun and the others were salivating greedily. They could only eat meat once every three days, and everyone's mouths faded.

But what I never expected was that these meat dishes, white flour steamed buns, and white rice did not have their share.

The prison inmates watched the dishes being served and gave all the delicious food to those honest people who worked hard.

"Hey! What do you mean! Why don't you give us meat, vegetables and white steamed buns? What shall we eat?"

Wang Jixun asked sharply.

Among this group of people, he is the most courageous, and the one with the toughest background. These lazy people regard him as their leader.

Seeing him questioning, others also loudly condemned him.

"What's the rush! Your meals are here too."

The prisoners brought a large pot, which was full of soupy porridge, and the color of the porridge didn't look very fresh.

Along with the porridge pot, there is also a plate of pickled vegetables with white salt flakes, the original blue color can no longer be distinguished, and I don't know how many years it has been accumulated.

"His Royal Highness Qi's order! In the future, those who are lazy and slippery and don't work hard will be treated like this. Eat or not."

After speaking, he put down the plate and went out.

"Hi..." Everyone faced each other, dumbfounded.

No wonder no one cares about being lazy in the morning. It turns out that he is waiting here.

No way, let's eat.

Unexpectedly, there is sand in the porridge, and there are a lot of them.

After Wang Jixun took two sips, his teeth were broken twice.

In the evening, the situation is still the same, no one cares about being lazy, but there is no good food.

Moreover, everyone's bunks were changed while sleeping.

Those who work hard will enjoy the treatment of washing their feet in a big basin of hot water, and then going to sleep in a formal bed.

But Wang Jixun and others, after drinking the porridge with sand, not to mention washing their feet with hot water, did not even have a bed, so they were all driven to sleep on the floor of 20 people.

This……

Someone finally figured it out.

This is to encourage you to work hard.

If you are lazy and slippery, you will not be beaten or scolded, but there is no food or drink, no hot water and no beds.

"Who the hell arranged this! It's too bad!"

"Zhao Dezhao, you are taking the bamboo shoots! You're hurting me so much!"

"Hush! Silence! Are you looking for death? Who is his father! You dare to scold him!"
