Chapter 149 Zhuangzi

In the evening, I entered a farmhouse in Li Ran's head.

This is the most extensive area among Li Ran’s villages.

Li Ran did not let Miao Zhong come here early, and Miao Zhong caught up from behind when he left the land where he was bounded to the boundary stone that marked his belongings.

Li Ran got off the horse and joined Miao Zhong, and walked towards the wide road that could pass through the big cart. He walked and watched.

Zhou E followed Li Ran with her hands behind her back, looking left and right.

Wang Cui and others found a place to set up camp. Madam Sang found a child and asked him, and went straight to Shen Da, the head of the village, and asked him not to make a statement, just to think that he was an irrelevant passerby.

"This farm is the best one among all the farms in our mansion.

There are a total of 24,570 acres of land here. I asked Chen Zhuangtou, saying that when he took over, the farm had more than 20,000 acres of land. After several changes of hands, he did not exceed one acre or no less.

The tenants in this farm are also very stable. It has been fifty-two or three years since the shortest-year family in this farm.

In this village, the head of the village is full of responses.”

Miao Zhong glanced at Li Ran.

"I understand what you mean, you continue." Li Ran nodded.

In the chaotic times, such a farmer and a farmer are a very small force.

"This farm was granted by the emperor. It has been thirteen years since the prince's name. In the past thirty years, the master changed six times.

The old man told me to inquire about the past of this village. In the past thirty years, the area had four changes. There were constant wars, and it was really difficult to inquire from outside.

The tenants in the village only know the sinking of the village. If you ask questions and don’t know anything, you really don’t know.

The account in the village is the first time this year that the old slave has seen it. The account is very refreshing and the harvests over the years are all the same.

But, from this farm... the princess looks at this piece of land, about ten acres, you see the pile of wheat piled on the fields, and you see the ears of wheat."

Miao Zhong bent down and picked up the wheat ears that fell into the field, rubbed them with his hands, and held them in his hand for Li Ran to see.

“It’s very full. The yield per mu of this land is not low.

This farm has more than 20,000 acres of land, which is considered medium. According to this calculation, the harvest of this farm should be two or three percent more than the accounts reported by Shenzhuang."

"Well, let's talk about it."

Li Ran stopped and looked at the busy wheat threshing farm more than ten steps ahead.

Wang Cui and the others quickly found a suitable camping site.

One faces the river, the other side is next to a large wheat threshing farm, not far from the village.

When Wang Cui and the others were busy setting up camp to set up a barrier, Chen Zhuangtou followed Madam Sang and ran over.

After seven or eight steps away, Chen Zhuang looked at Li Ran clearly, and was stunned and knelt down.

"No need!" Li Ran hurriedly signaled Zhou E.

Zhou E was very close to Chen Zhuangtou. She stepped forward and reached out to pick up Chen Zhuangtou: "What should I do if you kneel down and startle someone?"

"Yes, yes!" Chen Zhuangtou replied repeatedly and bowed repeatedly.

“We passed by here and happened to come and take a look.

It is the busy farming time, and you are busy with yours, don’t worry about what we need. I’ll send someone to find you.”

Li Ran was as kind as possible.

This Chen Zhuangtou looked like this last time when he saw her, looking trembling.

“Yes, yes!”

Chen Zhuangtou still kept bowing.

"Look at Xiashou, everyone knows what to do. The villain is old and can't help. He is an idle person. The villain listens to the princess's orders." Chen Zhuangtou smiled with his face.

"Let Chen Zhuang take you to see." Li Ran was silent for a moment and signaled Miao Zhong.

Miao Zhong agreed and signaled Chen Zhuangtou. The two of them stepped out two or three steps together, turned forward, walked out about ten steps, and turned into the half-collapsed field next to them.

"This farm is good!" Zhou E took a few steps back, side by side with Li Ran, waved her arms around, and happily expressed her insight.

"You arrived in the capital at a very young age? You were in such a farm before?" Li Ran and Zhou E asked with a smile while walking towards the threshing farm.

"Well, it's not as good as this farm.

I don’t remember much, but I just remember that there are all yellow and yellow everywhere, and grasshoppers on the ground, you can’t catch them even if they jump into your face.

I wondered about this for many years, how could I not catch the grasshopper if you said it had jumped into your face?

I always feel like I'm dreaming, otherwise it would be impossible. Did you think so?

Later, after encountering it a few times, I finally understood. Alas!”

Zhou E sighed.

"You know why you can't catch it? Because you're about to starve to death, your eyes are blurred, and you're jumping around when you see things, and you can't even lift your hands without any strength.

Not to mention jumping on your face, you may not be able to bite the grasshopper even if it jumps into your mouth."

“Grasshoppers are roasted and delicious.”

Li Ran was silent for a moment, smiling and changing the topic.

"Huh? Have you eaten it?"

Zhou E was surprised and raised her eyebrows.

"I've heard of it." Li Ran glanced at Zhou E.

"The grasshoppers are everywhere, wait! Old horse!" Zhou E roared.

The old gatekeeper Lao Ma, who was carrying a fishing net and preparing to cast a few nets into the river, let out the net and ran over.

"Go and find some fat grasshoppers, there are also toon trees over there, and find some food for you. The princess wants to try it."

Zhou E ordered happily.

"Ah?" Old Ma stared at Li Ran as if he was looking at a monster.

"Go quickly!" Zhou E slapped the old horse and staggered forward.

"Yes, yes!" Lao Ma agreed repeatedly, went forward with the trend, and rushed into the field to catch grasshoppers.

Li Ran stared at Zhou E who was waiting to watch the show, and rushed into the field, catching grasshoppers and whistled, snorted, and continued walking forward with her hands behind her back.

She has eaten grasshoppers and other things before. She ate a lot back then. She is very good at catching grasshoppers and roasting grasshoppers, and eating grasshoppers. No matter how much she is, she is just a bite of meat.

In the camp, Li Ran's luxurious tent was set up with dozens of other comfortable tents one by one, and surrounded them all. In the middle of the camp, the stove was bright and the tea table was set up, and the chefs were busy.
