Chapter 189 Working and Taking Care
"You just let us do this?"
Du He took the pickaxe that Liu Zhan personally handed over to him, and then looked at the field at his feet. Was he asking himself to hoe the field?
Several other people also looked at each other in confusion, holding tools and seeds they didn't know the names of in their hands. Isn't this different from the scene they imagined commanding thousands of people to farm?
"Snapped!"
When did Changsun Chong suffer from this anger?Throwing away the sledge in his hand, he stepped forward and grabbed Liu Zhan's collar, saying angrily: "Tell me, are you doing something wrong? Are you going to let us do this?"
Although the other people were not as excited as Chang Sun Chong, they all stared at Liu Zhan. If they couldn't tell him something, they would risk being punished by his father to make him look good.
But what is surprising is that Liu Zhan did not panic, but said with a smile: "This is what all new recruits to Sinong Temple have to do. If you don't believe it, you can ask other people to see if I am It’s not that I’m panicking.”
Now that they looked at each other and saw the calm Liu Zhan, they were a little undecided.
"I'll be back when I go!"
Fang Yi, please be careful. It’s better not to jump to conclusions before things are clear.
After a while, Fang Yizhi came nodded to Changsun Chong, which meant that what Liu Zhan said was true.
He put down the hand that was holding Liu Zhan, and finally smoothed the wrinkles on his clothes gently, and said with a smile: "I offended you just now, please forgive me, don't take it seriously, I was just joking!"
Liu Zhan shook his sleeves and could not deny Chang Sun Chong's words, but said: "I guess you don't quite understand what this is about? I'll let you explain it to me."
“Because the columbine sometimes breaks down, the seeds are not evenly sown, and what we have to do is to sow some more seeds where no seedlings have grown, just like this!”
Liu Zhan personally demonstrated in front of several people. He first hoeed the surrounding land loosely, sprinkled seeds on it, and finally used a sledge to cover the seeds with soil. This was considered completed.
He handed the tools back to a few people and said: "It was originally the work of three people. Thinking that you have just arrived, I have assigned four people to you. It can be considered as some care!"
"Okay, let's get started! I have to go somewhere else, so I won't accompany you."
"Oh, that's right. The place to eat is where we just came, and the Marquis is also eating there. After all, you are of high status!"
Looking at Liu Zhan leaving, Changsun Chong narrowed his eyes and suddenly smiled and said: "This Liu Zhan's future achievements will definitely not be too bad. He handles official business without losing his humanity. He is a good person!"
Several people looked at each other, and finally gritted their teeth and did it! It's okay if you don't do it. This is the rule of Sinong Temple. Fang Yizhi also asked just now, no one can make exceptions.
In addition, if they dare to stay here for a day and then go back, they will definitely not get good results. Their father will not listen to their explanation.
The most important thing is that they can't afford to lose that person.
Children from honorable families lack nothing else, the only thing they compete for is you just go back in disgrace like this, it will be a small thing to get beaten, but it will be a big shame!
A few people began to imitate Liu Zhan's way of replanting. From the beginning, they were clumsy, and in the end they gradually became proficient. They stopped this time when the gong sounded for dinner.
"Actually, it's not that difficult. Look, we're doing pretty well!" Du He said with some pride as he looked at the masterpieces of several people.
Wei Shuyu was an honest boy. When he saw the ground that looked like a dog gnawed, and compared it with the neat ground elsewhere, he hesitated and said, "Is this okay?"
Looking in the direction Wei Shuyu pointed, sure enough, everyone was blushing.
Fang Yizhi asked directly to the old farmer walking by: "Wait a moment, old man. I have something to ask you!" The old farmer who came over was an old farmer who looked to be in his 60s or [-]s. At this age, he was considered to be a long-lived Yi was a gentleman and immediately saluted the other party.
"Haha! What's the point! If you have any questions, just ask, the old man is still waiting to eat!" It seems that the old farmer is also a straightforward person, and he said directly.
Fang Yizhi repeated the question he just asked, pointed to the fruits of his and others' labor, and asked how he could do it better.
When the old farmer saw the appearance of these few people, he knew they were big shots in Chang'an. He shook his head and said, "Nothing else, practice makes perfect!"
After saying that, he turned and left.
"Practice makes perfect?"
Several of them had read the book, so of course they understood what this sentence just means that as long as you do it more, your skills will naturally develop!
The four of them did not speak next, but were thinking about what the old farmer said.
In fact, the meaning is very simple, and everyone understands it, but if you really want to do it day after day, it is not simple.
"Today I realize that I am a frog in a well, and not only is the sky vast. No wonder Ah Ye often says that reading thousands of books is worse than traveling thousands of miles. An old farmer who doesn't know a single Chinese character can understand the importance of persistence. I am so ashamed!"
Wei Shuyu said with emotion, and several people also looked deeply convinced.
When they arrived at the dining hall, Liu Zhan had been waiting here for a long time. He led a few people to a place with only a pair of tables and chairs and said, "Everyone, just eat here! This is not an official office, and there is nothing special about it. Someone will serve the food shortly." Yes, I will leave first."
Liu Zhan was right. After a while, a young man who looked like a clerk served them a table of food, a pot of wine, four dishes and one soup.
Although it is not rich, compared to people outside, it is simply a world of difference.
Holding the clerk who was about to leave, Changsun Chong said: "Why is our food so good, but those people outside only eat that?"
"This?" The clerk was a little hesitant, not sure whether he should say it or not.
"But it doesn't matter, we'll take care of anything!" Du He said confidently.
Seeing the situation, the clerk couldn't say no more, so he said: "Actually, everyone eats the same. Your food was specially cooked for you by the Marquis because he was worried that you might not be used to it when you first came here. The expense was paid for by the Marquis himself. .”
After saying that, the clerk left, leaving only a few people looking at each other.
"How are they doing? Have they caused any trouble to everyone?" Ji Song sat in the room and ate simple meals. Although it was better than outside, the improvement was limited.
"No, they are all quite able to endure hardships. I just took a look and found that although they are doing a little bit, there is still progress."
Liu Zhan didn't know how to describe the work they did. It was like a dog's work. No, the dog's work was better than what they did.
Ji Song glanced at Liu Zhan and said Song still believed in the tutors from the Xungui family. If he couldn't bear even this little pain, it would be a huge disappointment to Ji Song.
Look at the dandy boys in Chang'an City. How many of them are the eldest sons of their families?They are all bastards who are not valued at home and children who are deliberately indulgent.
The eldest son of every family is the hope for the future of the family. Every family has the strictest discipline on them. How can they have time to go outside and mess around?
