The Reborn Wife is Farming

Chapter 221 Mixed Joy and Anger

"Yes, Your Majesty, it's better to issue an imperial decree early, otherwise the road in the north will be difficult after it snows. This kind of seed must be preserved well. If it gets wet, it may affect the planting."

The ministers left in the imperial study room responded one after another.

The emperor, who originally wanted to stay until the next day to discuss with his courtiers, couldn't help but feel urgent, "Then I will issue an order to let the servant who passed the order leave the city immediately to go to Xingzhou Mansion."

The corner of Qin Xiang's mouth twitched, and he cupped his hands in congratulations: "I would like to congratulate the Holy Majesty first. The servants will hurry up and go to Xingzhou Mansion in twenty days. Within two months, the Holy Majesty will see the seeds of Emperor Sejong's praise."

The emperor laughed, and said: "It's all thanks to Qi Xiuyuan's insight and talents. The villagers of Sipan Village also contributed a lot. For a hundred years, they have not forgotten Emperor Sejong's training, and have tirelessly studied the methods of planting corn. Zhan Ye has never forgotten his homeland, and brought seeds and planting methods to vote, he should be rewarded."

After the emperor finished speaking, he asked the imperial court to draft the decree, and said: "The villagers of Sipan Village will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold for their first contribution, plus a third-class reward. Qi Xiuyuan also contributed a lot." The emperor paused and said, "Reward him The Xuanfeng doctor of the third grade will go to Xingzhou mansion together with the imperial edict of the servant, "

The corner of Qin Xiang's mouth curled up, and he took the lead and knelt down and said long live.

The emperor looked at the ministers below with satisfaction, very happy.

The next day, Qi Feng knew that his son had jumped from the fourth rank to the third rank. Although he was still only in charge of Xingyuan Mansion Xiying, he was already a Xuanfeng doctor of the third rank, and he would only rise faster in the future. Hearing that his son discovered such an important thing, but he didn't receive any news, his eyes became even more gloomy.

Whose father and son are not exchanging news and helping each other when they are officials? Only him, that Nizi never told him any news, otherwise why would he be so passive?

Qi Feng smiled stiffly in response to the congratulations of his colleagues, and couldn't help thinking of calling the youngest son back. If the youngest son was still with him, would the eldest son ignore him in everything?

After Qi Feng returned home, he asked Zhu Xingzong, the housekeeper's son, to set off immediately to Xingzhou Mansion to bring his youngest son Qi Haoran back.

The emperor was looking forward to the servants to bring things and people back, and Qi Feng was also looking forward to Zhu Xingzong bringing back his youngest son, so he paid more attention to Xingzhou Mansion for a while.

When the waiter arrived at Xingzhou Mansion, the planted corn had just produced small corn buds, and Mu Yangling and the villagers were weeding the corn.

Qi Xiuyuan blinked his eyes when he heard the servant said that he would take the seeds and the villagers of Sipan Village to the capital, and said innocently: "I have been writing to the letter for a long time, but I have not received any response. , I planted all the seeds again, as for the villagers of Sipan Village, they are all incorporated into military households, and now they are guiding everyone to plant corn in the field."

The servant's eyes widened and he asked, "General Qi, it's already autumn, why are you still planting? Can this corn grow?"

The housekeeper knows common sense even if he has never planted land. He has only heard that the warm and humid south can grow the second season of grain, but he has never heard that the cold and dry Xingzhou Prefecture can also grow the second season of grain.

Qi Xiuyuan hurriedly said: "I don't know, my lord, this corn is drought-resistant, as long as you plant the wheat immediately after harvesting, you may be able to harvest it before the first snow falls."

The servant's eyes widened, "Perhaps?"

Qi Xiuyuan coughed lightly, and said, "Isn't this to grow the kind of corn that Emperor Sejong said more quickly? The Holy Majesty has not responded for a long time. I thought it was because the yield per mu was too low, so..."

The servant's face turned dark, but it was hard to say that it was because the cabinet suppressed the paper. It had been three months since Qi Xiuyuan submitted the book and now he came to deliver the decree. No wonder he was nervous.

The servant held his breath in his chest, and finally had to wave his hand and said: "This is caused by the lack of information. It is no wonder that General Qi still called the villagers of Sipan Village, and the Holy One rewarded him."

The servant announced the two orders, but he was not happy at all. He only completed one of the three errands assigned by the emperor. As for bringing the villagers of Sipan Village back, it would be easy, but the seeds are gone, and there is still more to do. What do people do when they go back?

It is not certain whether the corn can be recovered after planting, and he is even more worried knowing that Qi Xiuyuan has planted all the seeds.

Don't forget to find a way to plant them, and they tossed the seeds away.

The servant could only write an urgent document and send it out with a bronze medal of 100,000 urgently.

As soon as the bronze medal came out, the post station did not dare to be negligent. It selected the best horses and messengers and traveled day and night, four to five hundred miles a day to Lin'an Mansion, and arrived at Lin'an Mansion six days later. The messenger almost collapsed and delivered the letter to the cabinet.

Seeing that it was an urgent document from an angel, the cabinet did not dare to neglect it and submitted it to the palace overnight.

The emperor got up from his favorite concubine's bed and opened the letter. He almost vomited a mouthful of blood. He pointed at the eunuch delivering the letter tremblingly, speechless.

Concubine Chong patted his chest to comfort him, and shouted: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Don't scare my concubines!"

The emperor's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said: "I ordered that the cabinet be dereliction of duty and dereliction of duty. I will punish you all, completely punish you!"

The emperor was so angry that his soul almost went out of his body. He hated the cabinet ministers and was angry with Qi Xiuyuan, but Qi Xiuyuan had a good reason. If he couldn't take his anger out on him, he could only get angry at the culprit's cabinet.

The poor four cabinet ministers thought it was over after being punished for half a year, who knew that the follow-up would be waiting here.

The emperor sat by the bed with red eyes for a long time, and finally said: "I order the servants to stay in Xingzhou Mansion to see the effect of planting. If the corn can be planted in Xingzhou Mansion for a second season, I, I will reward Qi Xiuyuan a lot. "

The emperor really didn't want to reward the generals heavily, but this time the generals were involved in farming.

The most important thing in a country is farming, which is related to the livelihood of the people. The emperor considers himself not a willful person, so if Qi Xiuyuan really made great contributions to this matter, he is willing to give him a big reward, even a knighthood.

The emperor spread the message, hoping that Qi Xiuyuan would be able to live up to it.

But Qi Xiuyuan's ambition is not here. Like General Yuan, Qi Xiuyuan's greatest wish is to regain his homeland and revive the Great Zhou.

When the emperor said these words, he was discussing with his younger brother how to occupy Baoshan County.

Occupying Baoshan County was proposed by Qi Haoran. He had this idea when Zhuang Dawei appeared. After more than half a year of preparation, he plans to put it into action now.
