Traveling through time and space and becoming a deposed prince, he just wants to survive!

Seeing that they were drunk, Zhao Sheng took Zhao Long back to Shigang Village.

It was explained before that Zhao Zhen was also brought back to the Princess's Mansion by Zhao Sheng, and Zhao Zhen also had a place in the mansion. However, Zhao Zhen was unwilling to live in the Princess's Mansion, and felt a bit like a maid.

Therefore, there are some houses in the workshop management office, among which there is a courtyard which was Zhao Sheng’s office. After renovation, it became Zhao Zhen’s residence, and behind this residence is still the alcohol warehouse.

The reason for going to Shigang Village was naturally to visit the orphans who had been taken in before. They were all young, with the oldest being only fifteen years old a year later, but they were already considered men in that era.

Because they were taken in by Mr. Zhao, the children thought they would take Mr. Zhao's surname.

As a result, he extracted six compound surnames starting with "gong", namely Gonghu, Gongyi, Gongzhong, Gongmen, Gongshang and Gongjian. Among them, those starting with Gongyi are basically female.

The one with the surname Gong Jian was considered the most promising among the group of children.

Gongshang is second only to Gongjian and belongs to the management level.

Gongmen is basically the one that Zhao Sheng intends to train towards the military level. It is directly managed by Gong Jian and is an intelligence gathering organization.

Gongzhong was Zhao Sheng's earliest idea. He planned to cultivate these children to read more. Later, he found that he was too naive, so he left Gongzhong as a name for children who like reading and can develop in the research field in the future.

Gonghu, that is the surname of an ordinary child.

Of course, Mr. Zhao did not think that after adopting these children, he had to give them surnames in this order. Those who already had surnames could choose voluntarily.

Among them was a fifteen-year-old boy with the surname Wang but no name. Although Zhao Sheng was a mercenary, he had a headache choosing a name, so he called him Wang Liushi.

It turned out that he had a thirteen-year-old brother named Wang Shisan. Because there was a child with the surname Wang before, he was named Wang Liugang. Due to personal wishes, he changed his name to Gongjian Liugang and became the manager among the first batch of children.

It can be seen that children named Gong Jian will have a special identity. Of course, Zhao Sheng will not announce this to the public.

Because the children are still young, it is difficult for him to give them names. Currently, Wanqiu and Wandong have names. One is called Gongyi Wanqiu and the other is called Gongyi Wandong.

The rest of the boys all have names starting with the character "Gong" and are given in the order of their arrival. After they start school, the teacher will give them names. For the time being, they will use the character "Gong" as their surname and add it later.

There are now sixteen boys in the Zhenda compound, and all the girls have been taken to the workshop. Wanqiu manages these children, but there is actually not much to do.

This time, Zhao Sheng came to consider the issue of a private school. It was impossible to place the private school in Shigang Village. There was a private school in Zhao Village not far away. Zhao Sheng subsidized a little money and asked the teacher to teach the children.

If you are willing to continue to make progress, it is voluntary, but the money for the orphan adopted by Zhao Sheng must be paid by Zhao Sheng himself.

The problem now is that Luancheng also has a private school, and the girls' enlightenment has already begun. This time, Zhao Sheng's idea is to take a few younger boys there and attend enlightenment classes with those girls.

……

Fu Gang finally drank a bowl of wine with the man in black.

But he still didn't know the name of the man in black. He just told Fu Gang to live in this yard honestly. If he needed someone to accompany him, he could ask some of his former brothers to come over.

Fu Gang was not greedy, so he called two people he knew, and the three of them settled down in the yard.

This village looks very strange. The villagers do look like farmers, but they don’t care about the quality of the crops. Instead, they work hard to cultivate the crops in the fields.

"Captain, why do I feel like there are no children in this village?"

Fu Gang's two little followers, one is called Liu Meng and the other is called Zheng Jun. I heard that their previous name was Zheng Qian, and they changed their names after being laughed at.

Both of them were around twenty years old, but Liu Meng was obviously a man who liked to use his brain and was good at observation, which did not match his name at all. The question just now was raised by him.

"I've discovered this as well. And have you noticed that the villagers often bring us food? And it's not a fixed group of people. Although they say they are entrusted by someone, I don't think so."

Since Fu Gang moved outside the house, his brain has become more active. He also exercises when he has nothing to do. He believes that there is no free lunch in the world.

Zheng Jun listened to the two people talking and said disapprovingly: "I think they are just local residents. Sometimes they accompany their wives to work in the fields. They look very loving and don't seem to be pretending."

Liu Meng rolled his eyes at him and didn't argue with him, but Fu Gang saw all of this and understood that Liu Meng was too lazy to care.

In this way, the three people lived in this village, and followed the promise they made to the man in black. They did not go out of the yard for more than ten steps, and they could do anything else.

Time flies so fast. Half a year has passed in a blink of an eye. The winter in Chuzhou is much better than in the north. Binzhou is close to the sea, so the temperature is not freezing enough to kill people, but the cold wind always blows in from the cracks in the door.

Emperor Zhao Hengzhen received a bag of white sugar from the queen. Each sugar was crystal clear, completely different from the powdered white sugar she had used before, and tasted excellent.

I couldn't help but go to the queen's bedroom to be intimate with her for a while, and also asked about the source of the sugar.

"Your Majesty, this was sent by Ying'er. I heard it came from the Princess of Dingzhou. They are good sisters, so when they get something good, they will naturally share it together."

After the prince got into trouble, not only was he not deposed, but even the queen was not implicated.

The queen was grateful to the emperor. At least he never deposed the crown prince or had the intention to kill him. This showed that the emperor was a good father to his son, so she spoke very frankly.

But Zhao Hengzhen felt a little uncomfortable. The palace only had one pound of icing sugar a year, and it was tribute from the Wei family. The daughter of Zhao Xin, a king of a different surname, could easily give two pounds of sugar to the princess, but he himself had none.

Zhao Hengzhen is actually a very narrow-minded person, always suspicious of everything. Fortunately, he does not have a strong murderous intention, otherwise Li Xin of Dingzhou would have been in trouble long ago.

Over the years, Wei Rong had been constantly trying to flatter the emperor, saying things like Zhao Xin had ulterior motives...

The next day, after the court was dismissed, the emperor deliberately kept the two prime ministers to discuss matters in his imperial study.

When the Prime Minister arrived at the imperial study, the third prince was there, but the second prince Zhao Wei was not there.

"Hui'er, I will bring some frosting back to give to your princess as a nourishment. I am very happy that she has given birth to a grandson for me."

"Your son thanks the emperor!" Zhao Hui bowed and took the things handed to him by the eunuch.

"Okay, please leave first. I have something to discuss with the two prime ministers."

"I'll take my leave then." Without saying much, Zhao Hui turned around, saluted the two prime ministers, and left.

Zhao Hengzhang signaled the eunuch to give the two of them a seat, put sugar in a teacup, brought it to the two prime ministers, and poured warm water into the teacup.

The two prime ministers were confused, but the emperor said, "Thank you for your hard work, my dear ministers. This is icing sugar that the emperor found while on tour. The locals call it white sugar. It is crystal clear and tastes very good. Please try it, my dear ministers."

The prime minister hurriedly picked up the teacup. Because the water was warm, the sugar granules inside were still faintly visible. Just as the emperor said, when he stirred it with a spoon, the sugar gradually dissolved.

Pick up the tea and take a sip, you will immediately feel the sweetness of warm sugar and an inexplicable fragrance.

After drinking the sweet water, the two of them could also taste a little of its flavor.
