My subjects are too rebellious!

After leaving Qingfeng Temple, Qin Chuan took Zhang Rang back to the capital.

After returning to the capital, Qin Chuan did not rush back to the palace, but chose a teahouse called "Yunshui Yao" as a place to rest.

This teahouse is located on a busy street and is surrounded by newly blooming flowers, which makes it look particularly elegant.

As you enter the teahouse, a mixture of tea and floral scents hits you in the face.

Qin Chuan and Zhang Rang found a seat by the window and sat down. Outside the window, tender green willow branches gently brushed the water, children were chasing and playing among the flowers, swallows were whispering under the eaves, and laughter and joy were heard everywhere.

While sipping the fragrant spring tea, Qin Chuan quietly watched the beautiful scenery and felt the various aspects of human life.

Qin Chuan said softly, "Zhang Rang, look at this spring scene. Everything is reviving and full of vitality. It really makes people feel relaxed and happy."

Zhang Rang smiled and said, "Your Majesty is right. The beauty of spring lies not only in its scenery, but also in the hope and vitality it brings. Your Majesty cares about the people. I hope the warmth of spring can also shine into the hearts of every citizen."

..........

On the vast fields of Kaifeng Prefecture, the warm spring sun shines gently, and all things come to life.

The sky is clear and blue, with a few white clouds floating leisurely across the sky, as if silently overlooking the land soaked in spring.

Among the fields, neatly arranged fields are scattered in an orderly manner. The spring breeze blows gently, and the soil emits a faint fragrance.

Uncle Li, an old farmer with a weathered face but a determined look in his eyes, stands on the ridge of the field, holding a hoe. Every blow of his hoe is precise and powerful, deeply embedded in the soil, turning up pieces of fertile soil, as if awakening the sleeping earth.

Not far away, a young peasant woman named Zhang, dressed in coarse cloth and with her hair tied up high, was bending over with her head down, carefully sowing plump seeds on the newly reclaimed fields.

In another field, several young and strong laborers worked together to control a heavy wooden plow. They were shirtless and their sweat shone with a bronze luster in the sun.

They worked together to control the heavy wooden plow, shouting ancient and powerful slogans that echoed across the fields.

The old cow in front of me also mooed at the right time.

They moved in unison, the wooden plows advancing slowly through the soil, carving out deep furrows.

........

As the sun rises high in the sky, sunlight fills the earth.

The old farmer, Uncle Li, stopped the hoe in his hand, gently wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and looked at Zhang who was sowing seeds.

He said earnestly: "Ms. Zhang, spring ploughing is the most important time of the year for us, so we must be careful."

Zhang looked up, smiled slightly, and said, "Mr. Li is right. We all depend on the harvest from these fields to make a living."

Not far away, the young and strong laborers also paused their work and started talking to each other.

One person said, "The rain this year seems to be good, more abundant than last year. The crops in our fields will surely grow better."

Another person echoed, "Yes, as long as we work together and work hard, we will definitely have a good harvest in the fall."

At this time, a breeze blew, bringing the fragrance of the sea of ​​flowers in the distance.

"This wind has a sweet smell. The people of our Wu Dynasty rely on this land for their livelihood, so we must treat it well."

Upon hearing this, Zhang nodded and continued to sow seeds with her head down.

.........

As time passed, the sun gradually set, and the sky was dyed with a faint golden color.

In the fields, the farmers' figures appear particularly warm under the afterglow of the setting sun.

Uncle Li stood up, dusted himself off, walked over to the young and strong laborers, and asked with concern: "Are you all tired? Take a break, drink some water, and then we can continue working."

As he spoke, he took a bamboo tube from his waist and handed it to the nearest young man.

The young man took the bamboo tube, took a few big gulps of water, and then passed it to the next companion.

"Uncle Li, you are really our backbone."

A young man said with a smile, his eyes full of respect, "With you here, we are all more motivated to work."

Uncle Li smiled and shook his head, saying modestly: "No, no, we are all family, and it is our duty to help each other. As long as everyone works together, there will be no obstacles that cannot be overcome."

Zhang also stopped what she was doing, walked into the crowd, took out a few coarse grain cakes from the basket and distributed them to everyone.

"Eat something to fill your stomach. You will be busy when you get home tonight."

Everyone sat together, eating simple food, chatting about family matters, with smiles of satisfaction and happiness on their faces.

At this moment, all the hard work and fatigue seem to disappear, leaving only the love for life and longing for the future.

........

As night fell, farmers packed up their farm tools and set out on their journey home.

The moonlight is like water, sprinkling all over the path, guiding the people returning home.

Uncle Li was walking in the front. He looked back at the land he loved so much, with infinite emotion surging in his heart.

"This land has nurtured us generation after generation. No matter how the world changes, it will always be our most solid support."

He whispered to himself, his eyes flashing with mixed emotions.

Zhang followed closely behind, carrying a basket full of farm tools.

When the first wisp of smoke rose above the village, the farmers finally returned to their warm homes.

The smiling faces of their family members and the hot meals instantly dissipated their fatigue.

Under the dim light, the family sat together. This simple and pure lifestyle brought them the greatest satisfaction and peace of mind.

Happiness is sometimes really simple.

.........

Qin Chuan was sitting under the pavilion in the imperial garden, holding an ancient book in his hand, but he seemed absent-minded, as his mind had already drifted to the upcoming lunch.

He gently put down the scroll, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised, called Zhang Rang, and whispered: "Zhang Rang, I am in a very good mood today, go to the Shangshenjian to prepare some delicious food."

"Remember, you need top-quality beef slices, cut as thin as a cicada's wing, and the mutton slices should be fat and lean. Also, the duck intestines must be cleaned thoroughly, and the tripe should be soft and glutinous. As for the fish balls, use the freshest fish and pound them by hand."

"In addition, prepare some tofu and fresh green leafy vegetables, and the mountain treasures are indispensable."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Rang immediately bowed and accepted the order. Without any hesitation, he immediately took a step and hurried to the Shangshenjian.

After arriving at the Shangshenjian, Zhang Rang immediately summoned the chefs who were responsible for preparing the ingredients.

It conveyed Qin Chuan's intention, and especially emphasized the high standards required for duck intestines.

The chefs were all embarrassed when they heard this, because duck intestines are usually processed in advance. Killing the duck and taking out the intestines is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also extremely cumbersome to clean.

But Zhang Rang still gave the order, and several strong cooks were sent to select live ducks and prepare to kill and intestine them.
