"Yes, Your Majesty, it's better to issue the imperial decree early, otherwise it will be difficult to go after the snow in the north. This kind of seed must be well preserved. If it gets wet, it will affect the planting."
The ministers left in the imperial study responded in succession.
The emperor, who originally wanted to stay until the next day to discuss with the courtiers, couldn't help but feel urgent, "Then I will decree that the inner servants will immediately leave the city and go to Xingzhou Mansion."
Qin Xiang raised his mouth and cupped his hands in congratulations: "I would like to congratulate the Sage first, the servants will be ready to go to Xingzhou in twenty days, and within two months, the Sage will be able to see the seeds of Emperor Sejong's praise."
The emperor laughed and said, "It is also thanks to Qi Xiuyuan's insight into talents, and the villagers of Sipan Village have contributed greatly. For a hundred years, they have not forgotten the training of Emperor Sejong, and tirelessly studied the method of growing corn, even if the state and county they belonged to were under the supervision of Jinbing. Zhan has never forgotten his homeland, he brought seeds and planting methods to cast, and he deserves a reward.”
After the emperor finished speaking, he let the royal walk in front of him to draw up the will, and said, "The villagers of Sipan Village will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold, plus a third-class reward. Qi Xiuyuan also contributed greatly." The doctor of the third rank will go to Xingzhou Prefecture together with the imperial edict of the servants."
Qin Xiang tickled the corner of his mouth, took the lead and knelt down and said long live.
The emperor looked at the minister below with satisfaction and was very happy.
The next day, Qi Feng knew that his son had risen from the fourth rank to the third rank. Although he was still only in charge of the Western Ying of Xingyuan Mansion, he was already a doctor of the third rank. He would only rise faster in the future. When I heard that my son had discovered such an important thing, but he had not received any news, his eyes were even darker.
Which father and son are officials without exchanging information and helping each other? He was the only one who would never tell him any news about that rebel, otherwise why would he be so passive?
Qi Feng responded to the congratulations from his colleagues with a stiff smile, and couldn't help but have the idea of calling the younger son back. If the younger son was still with him, would the eldest son do anything and ignore him?
After Qi Feng returned home, he asked the housekeeper's son Zhu Xingzong to set off immediately to Xingzhou to pick up his younger son Qi Haoran.
The emperor was looking forward to his servants to bring things and people back, and Qi Feng was also looking forward to Zhu Xingzong to bring his young son back, so he paid more attention to Xingzhou Mansion for a while.
When the maid arrived at Xingzhou Mansion, the corn that was planted had just grown into small buds, and Mu Yangling and the villagers were weeding the corn.
When Qi Xiuyuan heard that he was going to bring the seeds and the villagers of Sipan Village to the capital, Qi Xiuyuan blinked his eyes and said innocently, "I've been writing for a long time, but I haven't received a response. , I planted all the seeds again, as for the villagers of Sipan Village, they are all incorporated into the military households, and now they are in the field guiding everyone to plant corn."
's inner servant widened his eyes and asked, "General Qi, it's already autumn, why are you still planting? Can this corn grow?"
The waiter knows common sense even if he has never planted land before. He has only heard that the second season can be grown in the south where the climate is warm and humid, and he has never heard that the cold and dry Xingzhou Prefecture can also grow the second season of food.
Qi Xiuyuan hurriedly said: "Sir, I don't know, this corn is drought tolerant. After harvesting the wheat, as long as you plant it immediately, you may be able to harvest it before the first snow falls."
The maid's eyes widened, "Maybe?"
Qi Xiuyuan coughed lightly and said, "Isn't this to plant the kind of corn that Emperor Sejong said faster? The Sage hasn't replied for a long time. I thought it was because the yield per mu was too low, so..."
's face turned dark, but it was difficult to say that this was the reason why the cabinet suppressed the book. It has been three months since Qi Xiuyuan went to the book and now he came to pass the order, so it is no wonder that he was uneasy.
The waiter held his chest in one breath, and finally had to wave his hand: "This is caused by a lack of information, and it's no wonder that General Qi still called the villagers of Sipan Village, and the saint has rewarded him."
The servant general announced both wills, but he was not happy at all. He only completed one of the three errands that the emperor explained. As for bringing the villagers of Sipan Village back, it was easy, but the seeds were all gone, and there was still more to do. What are people doing back home?
It's uncertain whether this corn can be recovered after planting it, and knowing that Qi Xiuyuan has planted all the seeds, he is even more worried.
Don't find a way to plant it, this kind of seed made them toss and die again.
The inner servant could only write an urgent document and send it out with a bronze medal of 100,000 rush. This was bestowed by the sage. Fortunately, the sage gave him this thing before he left, otherwise he didn't know how to notify the sage.
As soon as the bronze medal came out, the inn did not dare to neglect, and chose the best horses and the messenger to travel day and night. They drove four or five hundred miles a day to Lin'an House, and they arrived at Lin'an House six days later. The messenger almost collapsed and sent the letter to the cabinet.
The cabinet saw that it was an urgent document from an angel, and did not dare to neglect it, and sent it to the palace overnight.
The emperor got up from the bed of his favorite concubine and opened the letter. He almost vomited out a mouthful of blood. He trembled and pointed to the **** who was delivering the letter, speechless.
Concubine Chong hurriedly patted his chest and shouted, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Don't scare the concubine!"
Emperor's eyes were all red, and he gritted his teeth: "I ordered, the cabinet dereliction of duty, dereliction of duty, I have all been sacked, I have sacked everything!"
The emperor was so angry that he almost went out of his body. He hated the ministers of the cabinet and he was angry with Qi Xiuyuan, but Qi Xiuyuan had good reasons and couldn't take his anger out, so he could only get angry at the cabinet that was the culprit.
The poor four cabinet ministers thought it would be over if they were punished for half a year, who knows what the follow-up will be waiting here.
The emperor sat beside the bed with red eyes for a long time, and finally said: "I ordered the servants to stay in Xingzhou Mansion to observe the after effect of planting. If corn can be planted in Xingzhou Mansion for the second season, I will greatly reward Qi Xiuyuan. "
The emperor really didn't want to reward the generals, but this time the generals were involved in farming.
The most important thing in a country is farming, which is a big plan related to people's livelihood. The emperor believes that he is not a willful person, so if Qi Xiuyuan really made a great contribution in this matter, he is willing to give him a big reward, even if he is awarded a title.
The emperor spread this meaning, and only hoped that Qi Xiuyuan would be able to fight for it.
But Qi Xiuyuan's ambition is not here. Like General Yuan, Qi Xiuyuan's greatest wish is to regain his homeland and revive Dazhou.
When the emperor said these words, he was discussing with his younger brother how to occupy Baoshan County.
The occupation of Baoshan County was proposed by Qi Haoran. When Zhuang Dawei appeared, he had this idea. After more than half a year of preparation, he now plans to put it into action.
