Chapter 328: Where did Mingzhu Township come from?
After receiving the imperial edict, Chen Yu didn't know what to do. Su Sanlang came over: "Mother, I'll do it."
Chen Yuqiang calmly handed the imperial edict to Su Sanlang. Seeing Su Sanlang holding it high above his head and walking quickly to the main room, Chen Yu guessed that it was an imperial edict after all.
"Sir, special envoy, civilian women don't know the rules and don't take offense if they don't show proper etiquette. Please come in quickly," Chen Yu said.
Su Ziqian came over: "Mrs. Su, this is Prime Minister Meng."
Chen Yu almost didn't get a single follower, so he hurriedly saluted again: "Prime Minister Meng, please come quickly."
"Mr. Mingzhu Township, you don't have to be polite. It's my luck to have the opportunity to come to Qingniu County this time. After the business is done, I will ask Mr. Mingzhu Township to talk to me about the women's school." Meng Jiulin stepped into the courtyard.
After sitting down, Zheng Yue'e served tea, and no one in the Su family dared to come to this room.
Chen Yu thought about the words he had already thought of and said them to Meng Jiuling again. He took the opportunity to look at the Prime Minister. He was about sixty years old, wearing a purple robe and jade belt, with a thin face and bright eyes.
After hearing what Chen Yu said, Meng Jiuling asked: "Can I meet Geng Ruchun, who is responsible for farming?"
Geng Ruchun was trembling with fear at first, but he gradually relaxed when he talked about farming, and finally became a little bit excited when he talked about the autumn harvest.
Meng Jiuling nodded repeatedly after hearing this, stroking his beard and said to Liang Ziqian next to him: "This man is good at farming, so he can be used."
Chen Yu:......!!!
I haven’t mentioned it yet, could this be the power of my wishes coming true?
"Yes, the student deeply agrees." Liang Ziqian nodded.
Geng Ruchun came out of the room, still a little dizzy. Outside, Su Qiaoniang was extremely nervous. She pulled him aside and asked, "How is it? Do you understand?"
"I understand, I seem to have said too much, but that adult is not angry. Our mother is so powerful, she is not afraid at all." Geng Ruchun whispered to Su Qiaoniang in a low voice.
Su Qiaoniang laughed angrily: "Can our mother be afraid? We have already seen the queen."
Chen Yu handed over the booklet he had prepared long ago, which recorded the production methods and functions of various fertilizers.
After Meng Jiulin read a few pages, he asked: "Is the third son of Xiang Jun a scholar?"
"Yes, I am preparing for the provincial examination in August." Chen Yu answered very simply.
Meng Jiuling nodded and then said: "Food is the most important thing for the people. This corn can save too many people. Dai Viet is a vast country and the people in many places have a hard life. They can barely survive in good years. Once there is a little...
If the child is disturbed, he will not have enough to eat, so the village monarch offers grain and seeds to make Meng admire him and thank the village monarch on behalf of the people."
With that said, Meng Jiulin stood up and bowed his hands deeply.
Chen Yu quickly returned the courtesy: "Prime Minister Meng is serious. This was also discovered in Laojun Mountain. The Su family didn't do anything. They just tried it and succeeded."
Meng Jiuling waved his hand and sat down again before saying: "Is there anything easy in this world? Even if it is a coincidence, you have to have great ability to succeed. If nothing else, this fertilizer has opened Meng's eyes.
Do you have any corn seeds? Meng can only stay for three or four days. I want to bring back as much grain seeds as possible. Is that feasible?"
"It's about five thousand kilograms. Does Prime Minister Meng think this is feasible?" Chen Yu asked.
Next to him, Liang Ziqian hurriedly said: "Teacher, this corn is grown well in Qingniu County, but when oranges grow in Huainan, they become tangerines, and when they grow in northern Huaibei, they become oranges. Five thousand kilograms is a bit too much. Leave us two thousand kilograms in Qingniu County."
.”
Meng Jiuling glanced at Liang Ziqian with an unkind look: "Is five thousand kilograms too much? The court wants to distribute it to various places for testing. There are too many wolves and too little meat. No grain is left."
Chen Yu pretended to be dead to reduce his sense of presence.
Where did Liang Ziqian give in? He turned around and said, "Mrs. Su, have you left grain seeds for us in Qingniu County?"
"Lord Hui Liang, leave a little bit." Chen Yu said.
Liang Ziqian felt relieved now. After all, if he didn't explain clearly now, then all the grain would be taken away, and he would suffer a big loss.
Meng Jiuling and Liang Ziqian declined the proposal to have dinner here, and left after talking about business, and it didn't take even an hour.
However, the doorway of Su's house was eerily quiet, and anyone passing by would take a detour.
Chen Yu was surrounded by her family. She didn't expect that she would bring such a reward, so she was both happy and confused.
Su Sanlang was not confused and asked: "Mother, did Prime Minister Meng mention the fourth brother?"
"No, this has nothing to do with your fourth brother, right?" Chen Yu said.
Su Sanlang shook his head: "Mother, the title of rural monarch is not casual, but for officials of the fourth rank or above in the imperial court, if they have made great contributions, they can ask for the title for their mother or wife. Without mentioning the fourth brother, this title is a bit heavy, unless it is
he……."
"Grandma, we are back." Xiao Qiyu ran in happily, with dust on his face: "Is it too late? Have you finished reading the imperial edict?"
Chen Yu saw Xiao Qiyu and nodded to Su Sanlang, yes, it's him, it's him!
"Look, your face is covered with dust." Chen Yu pulled Xiao Qiyu over with a handkerchief and wiped it on his face: "Why are you so anxious? You knew the imperial edict was coming and didn't tell grandma in advance. It was almost dangerous.
It didn’t scare me to death.”
Xiao Qiyu laughed loudly and let Chen Yu wipe the ashes from his face: "I wonder who else dares to bully you! If you don't kneel before officials in the future, if you don't like others to kneel, I won't allow you to kneel to others.
"
Su Qianxiu, who came in later, came over and said, "Grandma, wipe your face too."
Chen Yu also laughed out loud, caught Su Qianxiu and wiped it, and told Zheng Yue'e and others: "Quickly go and prepare delicious food. The two greedy cats must eat more. This happy event must be celebrated."
The Su family became busy, and Su Shaoli was the only one left in the house who refused to leave.
Xiao Qiyu drank several cups of tea before saying: "When my second aunt gets married, a larger dowry will not exceed the limit. The Li family has to pay more attention to the second aunt. The Jiang family doesn't care who comes to our house, even grandma has to."
Be tougher and don't have to endure the discomfort. This is great. Besides, food is the most important thing for the people. This is a huge contribution. That is to say, grandma is not willing, otherwise she will directly ask for an official position from the court, which is not a small thing."
"You can't do this." Chen Yu quickly covered Xiao Qiyu's mouth. The more he said this, the more outrageous it became.
Chen Yu reacted and frowned: "Today is the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, the day when Pearl Academy opens its doors to accept students. How did you two come back? Didn't you sneak back?"
"Someone was flying pigeons to pass the message, and Qiyu pulled me down the mountain." Su Qianxiu looked at Xiao Qiyu helplessly: "We will go back early tomorrow morning."
Chen Yu rubbed his forehead, feeling like he was skipping school.
I'm afraid that the Jiang family members secretly want to slice themselves into pieces for study.
Xiao Qiyu leaned on the soft pillow: "These scholars, there are a group of people who are stupid in reading, a group of people who follow others' opinions, and a group of people who have mediocre qualifications. How many truly capable people are left? It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. If it really doesn't make sense, I'll go there.
I took a walk around the battlefield and met my dad by the way. I can do this today and I miss him so much."
