In the blink of an eye, it was time for spring plowing. The Emperor decided to personally lead the effort, bringing not only the Princes but also a group of ministers. The trip would last two days, and they would be staying at a manor that had been arranged in advance.
As Zhulan packed their luggage, she muttered under her breath, "Spring plowing is the most exhausting activity. Who knows whether you'll be able to handle it over the next two days."
Zhou Shuren, however, was unconcerned. "At my age, tasks that require hard labor won't fall to me. Don't worry too much."
Besides, he had prior experience farming alongside the Retired Emperor. He wasn't afraid of plowing at all.
Zhulan remarked, "The purpose of this spring plowing is to teach the ministers to live frugally and cherish food in the future. Do you think the meals prepared by the Emperor will consist of coarse grains?"
