Most of the time on the way south was spent on the boat. Compared with the bumpy road, the water is much more comfortable.

Many big ships are going south along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which is very spectacular.In the past two years, Kangxi planned to restart maritime trade and increased investment in shipbuilding. The ship they used to pull objects was newly built by the Ministry of Industry. The ship's capacity was three times that of ordinary ships, but the speed did not slow down.There is no shortage of skilled craftsmen in the world. In this era when one king ruled one country, a word from Kangxi can bring about great changes.

Although the water route is much faster than the land route, they still stayed on the boat for a month without arriving at their destination. The scenery on both sides of the canal is beautiful, with patches of green trees and flying birds. At the beginning, Yinhu was very interested in getting up early to watch the sunrise , Watching the sunset in the evening, but no matter how beautiful the scenery is, I can't help but look at it every day, and I lose interest in a few days.

It didn't take long for Yinhu to start thinking about her two younger brothers. I'm not used to being around without them. If they were around, it would be much more lively than now. Yinhu doesn't want to go to Yinzhi and Yinzhen when he has nothing to do. He doesn't like either of them, and prefers to be alone.After reading all the books he brought, Yinhu began to play chess with his left hand and right hand boringly, and finally one day they were able to disembark.

After getting off the ship, Kangxi was busy meeting local officials. Yinhu honestly recuperated for a few days. After all, the board and lodging on the ship was not as good as on land. His body was still young, and after staying on the ship for so many days, he began to feel listless. It was delicious. After drinking it for a few days, Yinhu quickly recovered.

Kangxi met with local officials for a few days to understand the general situation, and now he is taking his sons to inspect the people's conditions. This is the purpose of his trip to the south this time. He wants to see the country under his rule with his own eyes.

A group of people from Kangxi took off their jade pendants and walked in the countryside in casual clothes. Although the group of people had fair skin and straight backs, they were not from peasant families at first glance, and they were not too eye-catching.

The country people know each other from ten miles and eight villages, and they saw a group of strangers from a distance. They were all working on the farm, but they all looked at them appreciatively.

Kangxi calculated the time to come here. Now is the season of rice harvesting. Although the busy farmers are curious about this group of people, they are still more concerned about the rice that has not been harvested.

Seeing this group of people getting closer, a strong man wiped his sweat with a cloth towel, stepped out of the field, and faced Kangxi and the others.

"Sir, what are you doing?"

Kangxi replied: "I took a few children at home to play and looked around. I saw that you seemed to have a big harvest, so I came here to rejoice. I don't know if I'm disturbing you?"

Hearing this, the man showed a big smile on his dark face: "You are very polite, you are a coincidence. This year's rice ears are big and full. I have planted the land all my life, and I haven't seen it yet." Had such a good rice."

"Oh? Can we take a look?"

"What's wrong with this?" The man proudly led the group of people to the field, and put a handful of rice ears into Kangxi's hands, telling him to just look at it.

"Now, we can not only feed the whole family, but also earn some extra money." The man's loud voice was full of happiness and satisfaction.

Kangxi was also very happy when he heard this, and asked knowingly: "Why is the harvest so good this year, but the weather is suitable this year?"

"This year the weather is good, but it's not unprecedented in previous years, but such a good harvest has never been seen by the elderly!" This man is the head of the village. People have played tricks.

Kangxi also cooperated in a good mood: "Oh, can you tell me the reason for this year's bumper harvest?"

Yinhu had never seen Kangxi pretending like this before, so he couldn't help laughing.

Seeing everyone staring at him, the man coughed twice: "I don't know if you have heard of chemical fertilizers? We sprinkled this thing, so the ears of rice can grow so many and big."

"I've vaguely heard that this chemical fertilizer is so powerful, how much does it cost to buy it?"

The man's eyes widened: "You have seen what this rice looks like, what did I lie to you for?"

"This fertilizer does not require money. The government said that [-]% of the rice will be used to pay for the fertilizer."

"Many people are still not happy. Now those people look at our rice and are starving to death. Thanks to my smartness, I believe in the government. I heard that this chemical fertilizer was passed down from the palace, and it is a blessing."

In fact, this man didn't think so at the time. He was as skeptical as the others. No one has ever used chemical fertilizers. Who knows whether it is good or bad, and who doesn't feel sorry for [-]% of the rice.It's not that he is the head of the village, and he always takes the lead. After receiving four bags, the rest will be distributed to a few families with good family backgrounds.

"Now we are all asking when the government will distribute chemical fertilizers again, even if we buy them with money, I am afraid there will not be enough." The man went back to the field to work again, and he was not too tired. energy.

Kangxi chatted with these villagers for a while. They got up early and walked such a long distance, and now they are already hungry. Kangxi is okay, but he still has a few sons. I am hungry, so I wonder if I can eat in Guicun?"

"This..." The man was a little hesitant. He was not a hospitable person, but when the farming was busy, even they themselves didn't have time to eat well, and they all settled quickly in the fields.

Li Dequan quickly stepped forward and handed the man a piece of silver, and the man opened his mouth again: "Okay, I will ask my wife to find a few more good cooks, and let the distinguished guests taste our cooking."

This money is worth half a year's expenses of their family, and it will not be too late to harvest the rice tomorrow.

Kangxi and his group also have about [-] people. They selected the guards with the best martial arts skills and handpicked their hands. Of course, they also followed a team of people outside the village. Kangxi took the prince to travel, and the security guards still have to be good. of.

Even though the food was carefully prepared by the villagers, its appearance was far from that of the imperial food, but Kangxi still ate it with great relish.There were a few elders from the village at the table, and Kangxi naturally inquired about their daily life and customs.When the elders talked, Yinhu and the others listened silently, feeling quite fresh.

After Kangxi heard enough news, he took people out of here. He could see that these villagers didn't know his identity, and they were telling the truth. A practical person.

On the way back, the corners of Yinhu's mouth kept curling up. The smiles on the faces of these common people were all due to him. This sense of accomplishment was something he had never had in his previous life.

"In the capital, you are all well-clothed and well-fed, served by servants, and today you have seen how ordinary people live. After you go back, write a review for me." Kangxi said lightly.

Yinhu rolled her eyes at Kangxi in her heart, and came out with a mission!

Yinzhi tugged at his sleeves, he had never worn clothes of such poor material, and he had never seen such a low earthen house in the village, but the villagers looked very happy and content, and he didn't know why he was sore Yes, it doesn't feel so good.

Seeing that Yinhu was still smiling, he twitched the corners of his mouth, heh, people with simple minds have fewer things on their minds. ——Although Yinhu often went out of the palace, he said to the outside world that he studied medicine with his master, Dr. Liu, so Yinzhi didn't know that there was something about Yinhu involved in the development of chemical fertilizers.

In the following time, Kangxi sometimes went out to inspect, and sometimes summoned officials and small officials, but he was still busy and did not bring Yinhu and the others with him.

Yinhu stayed in the yard for a few days and decided to go out for a stroll. He was bored in the house every day. What's the point of coming out this time? He didn't forget that he promised to bring gifts back to the two little guys.

Since you want to go out, it's not easy to leave Yinzhi and Yinzhen behind. Yinhu politely asked the two of them, but both of them expressed that they also wanted to go out for a walk.

So now there are three boys standing on the street. The street here is not as prosperous as the capital city, but it is still very lively.

Of course, the things here are not as luxurious and exquisite as they are used to. Yinhu stands on the street and doesn't know what to buy, and Yinzhi and Yinzhen have nothing to buy, these are out of their sight.

In the end, Yinhu stopped in front of a stall selling porcelain. There was a porcelain plate painted with a cute cat cub, facing a big dog, with sharp nails shining, and looking at it imposingly. His appearance somehow reminded him of Yinzhen.

Yinhu decided to buy this porcelain plate, and looked at the patterns on other porcelain with interest. Yinzhi and Yinzhen looked at it for a while, a little bored, and then looked at other shops.

Suddenly, Yinzhen noticed that someone was walking towards them quietly, his heart shuddered, his intuition was wrong, and he immediately grabbed Yinhu's wrist and left here.

But it was too late. As soon as they made a move, a group of people surrounded them from different directions, holding shiny long knives in their hands.
