Chapter 1001: You Have to Find the Answer to This Question Yourself.

After hearing the old man's words, Zhao Lang immediately asked,

"Old man, did you come all the way from Liaodong?"

Liaodong, is it more than a thousand miles away?

For an old man of such an age, and judging from the appearance of the other party, he does not come from a wealthy family, how much difficulty and hardship did he have to go through along the way?

This is something he doesn't want to see, so he takes this into consideration when distributing supplies, and local officials will advise him.

It was the old man who pointed at his thin cow and returned with a smile.

"Old man, I came here relying on this cow. It came slowly on its back. There are some weeds on the roadside now. Don't use too much. It's just a pain for it."

"This old man has lived up to me. This time we can see His Highness the Crown Prince."

Hearing this, Zhao Lang couldn't help but smile bitterly,

Although the old man puts it lightly, this cow is generally the mainstay of a family.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the countryside, cattle are more important than people.

Now that winter has just passed, it is time to add fodder to the cattle.

Otherwise, you won’t have the energy to work in the spring.

In other words, this old man used all this year's harvest as travel expenses.

Zhao Lang sighed slightly and said,

"Then His Royal Highness is just two eyes and one mouth, nothing interesting to look at."

"You are so old. What if something happens to you when you come here?"

"Besides, even if you come, I'm afraid you won't be able to see His Highness the Crown Prince."

Although this statement was a bit straightforward, Zhao Lang knew that

If the elderly encounter any danger on the road, this life will also be involved.

But the old man's gain may only be to take a look at himself from a distance.

Hearing Zhao Lang's words, the old man was not angry. He had already heard similar advice along the way, and his ears were already numb.

After looking at the two people and then at the followers around him, the old man said at this time,

"Seeing as this young man is from a wealthy family, but he is willing to work in the fields, it is reasonable."

"Old man, although I am illiterate, I also know that I must repay the kindness I receive from others."

"It's just that the old man doesn't have any other abilities. Now His Highness the Crown Prince is about to ascend the throne, so coming to support him can be regarded as doing his best."

"As for whether His Highness the Crown Prince knows about the old man, what does it matter?"

Zhao Lang had nothing to say after hearing this.

He knew that this was the old man's wish, and since he was already here, there was no point in talking about it.

We can only order the inns in various places to take care of the people along the way.

So he said to the old man,

"What the old man said is that the boy has learned a lesson."

But the old man turned away and said,

"Old man, I'm just a farmer. I can't afford the courtesy of a nobleman. Please finish these farm work quickly. The old man has to go to the city."

After saying that, he smiled and continued to do farm work.

Zhao Lang said no more, and a few people quickly completed the cleaning of the field.

After finishing, the old man looked at the field in front of him and said with a bit of envy,

"This is a good land, and the harvest will definitely be good."

As a farmer, there is nothing more satisfying than seeing good fields and good crops.

The old man sighed with emotion and quickly said,

"A few noble old men won't bother you anymore, they have to go into the city."

After saying that, he took his old cow and left here.

After the old man left, the servant on the side asked with some confusion,

"Master, why don't you keep the old man here so that he can entertain you properly and spread the word about it?"

He originally thought that his master would keep the other party, even if his identity was not revealed, he would entertain him with delicious food and drinks.

If people like yourself spread the word, it can also increase the master's reputation.

Zhao Lang shook his head slightly at this time.

"This is not what the old man wants, and this is not what I want."

There is no need to say more about the perseverance and courage required to come all the way from Liaodong to Xianyang.

The other party doesn't care about these material things.

And he himself doesn't have to show off.

Working for the people in a down-to-earth manner is the best reward for them.

But at this time, Zhao Hao on the side couldn't help but ask,

"Dad, what does this old man want?"

He hadn't spoken much just now, and he hadn't revealed their identities.

This is what my mother taught me. I should talk less when someone is around my father.

As for why, I remember it so firmly,

Anyone with a few deep scars on their butt will remember it.

Faced with this question, Zhao Lang did not answer directly. Instead, he touched Zhao Hao's head and said with a smile,

"It's up to you to find the answer to this question yourself."

Then he quickly said,

"Now that the farm work is done, you go find a place to clean yourself up."

He has not forgotten the purpose of coming out today, which is to teach the other party a good lesson.

Zhao Hao was stunned for a moment, and then asked,

"Dad, where are you cleaning up?"

Zhao Lang said lightly,

“It’s okay to ask for help right here, or you can go to the homes of surrounding farmers.”

This is also the condition that farmers can get.

Zhao Hao was immediately dumbfounded.

"Where are the clean water and other utensils in Dad's place? Besides, even if it is cleaned, the mud road will still be dirty, and the child is already very tired..."

As he spoke, Zhao Hao's voice became smaller and smaller, and his face gradually turned red.

Finally he said with a bit of shame,

"Dad, I know I was wrong."

Zhao Lang showed a smile at this time and said,

"Where did you go wrong?"

Zhao Hao replied,

"My child's mistake was that he didn't know the actual situation of these people and made his own judgment."

Zhao Lang nodded,

"What should we do next?"

Zhao Hao quickly replied,

"In the future, you have to look at everything yourself."

Only then did Zhao Lang touch Zhao Hao's head with great joy.

I have to say that this big boy like me is still extremely smart.

Although it is still a bit superficial to have such a view at such an age, it is already very good.

This kid's IQ seems to be quite high, and he is the son of himself and Xiao Bailian.

"Okay, let's go back. Your father and I will be busy these two days."

Zhao Lang said at this time, and then walked back.

The slave on the side reminded me at this time,

"Master, does the painter have any tasks?"

They came out with a painter this time, but it didn't seem to have any effect throughout the process.

Naturally, he, a slave, must be reminded.

Zhao Lang let out an ooh at this time, remembering something, and pointed at the sloppy Zhao Hao beside him, and said to the painter with a smile,

"Draw a picture of what he looks like now and hang it in his room so that he can take a good look at it."

Hearing this, Zhao Hao first showed a bitter face, then frowned and asked,

"Dad, what do you mean by this?"

Zhao Lang waved his hand and said,

"No, I just want to embarrass you. There must be some fun in life."

He can still handle this kid.

After saying that, he left here directly, and Zhao Hao could only smile bitterly and step up his calves to follow.
