Chapter 679, Change the Door Head
The Yan family became famous because of the Loyalty Archway bestowed by the emperor and also because of the 200,000 stone medicinal materials donated.
You should know that the emperor is not easy to reward things like memorial merits and can be used for inheritance, let alone inscribed the word ‘loyalty’ himself.
Hundred officials have mixed reactions.
He who is broad-minded, is also secretly envious.
Those who are narrow-hearted and jealous, the Shang Dynasty participated in the Yan family one.
"The emperor, Yan Jiageng read out, how can they get 200,000 stone medicinal materials? Yan Zhigao must have been corrupted and bribed. Please be strict with Yan Zhigao."
The emperor quietly looked at the righteous Shi Yushi, who was pushed out by the Jiang family, until he saw Shi Yushi sweating profusely, and then slowly said: "Ai Qing said so righteously, but there is evidence. ?"
Shi Yushi has no evidence. He just thinks that the 200,000 stone medicinal materials are old-fashioned and may not be able to come out, let alone the Yan family who came from a poor family.
Without waiting for Shi Yushi to figure out how to reply, Wu Jingyi stood up with a grin: "Back to the emperor, the minister was responsible for overseeing the collection of medicinal materials. After learning that the prefect of Yan would donate medicinal materials, he set out to investigate the source of these medicinal materials."
"The Yan family has indeed bought a lot of fields over the years, but except for a small part of these fields, which are fertile fields, most of them are obtained by reclaiming wasteland."
"Everyone knows that the land in Ningmen Mansion is barren. After Yan Zhigao took over as the prefect, he saw so many wasteland empty, so distressed, he took the lead in reclamation."
"Now that Ningmen Mansion's tax revenue can be raised, most of it is due to the reclamation of wasteland."
Some officials questioned: “The wasteland is barren, even if you can grow medicinal materials, it’s impossible to grow so much.”
Wu Jingyi smiled: "Did you forget who introduced the high-yield wheat varieties that are now widely planted in Daxia? Shi Yushi has also said that Yan Jiageng is better at farming than we are. We have to recognize this."
After hearing this, the officials stopped talking.
Without him, now their fields are also planted with high-yielding wheat seeds.
At this time, the emperor said: "The border is urgently short of medicinal materials. I hope that when you can share your worries, all of you will be a tortoise. Now someone has come forward to donate, and you have jumped out and said that others are embezzling and accepting bribes. What? Zhu Bajie beat him down?"
said, looking at Shi Yushi coldly.
"Yushi has the responsibility of supervising court officials, but it does not allow you to slander court officials at will. As soon as your mouth opens and closes, you will classify good officials who have served the court many times as corrupt and bribery."
"Huh, appointing a Yushi like you is a major problem for the court. If you come, you should take off the official robes of Shi Yushi and throw them out of the palace. They will never be hired."
Hearing this, Shi Yushi's legs weakened, and he fell to his knees with a ‘bang’, looking desperately at Jiang Shizi, and was dragged out by the two guards before he could say anything.
Jiang Shizi looked down at the floor under his feet, and the emperor’s unconcealed anger made him feel a little unsteady.
Shi Yushi was introduced by him. He just wanted to test the emperor's reaction. After all, the Jiang family gave the emperor a big ugly when collecting medicinal materials this time.
Neither he nor his father thought about going too far. As long as the emperor is willing to accommodate them, they are willing to help raise medicinal materials.
Seeing that the game between the Jiang family and the emperor was about to come to a critical juncture, a Yan family appeared and donated 200,000 stone medicinal materials at once, and his family was caught off guard.
I wanted to teach the Yan family a lesson, but I never thought that the emperor's reaction was so great.
Hey.
I didn’t help the emperor to raise medicinal materials this time. In the end, it angered the emperor. They made a mistake.
Ningmen Mansion.
When the emperor’s awards and the craftsmen who came to build the archway arrived, the Yan family was all shocked. Not only the Yan family, but also officials from the Ningmen Mansion, as well as some well-informed officials from Zhongzhou, were also surprised.
When they heard that the Yan family had donated 200,000 stone medicinal materials to the court, they all fell silent.
Without him, they cannot receive this reward.
Yan Zhigao accepted the imperial decree in a silly manner, and enthusiastically invited the eunuchs and craftsmen to the front yard for tea. During the period, he took the time to ask Mrs. Li: "It is said that our family donated medicinal materials to the imperial court. What's the matter? What's the matter?"
Mrs. Li was also confused, and then she thought of something and patted her head sharply: "Oh, it's Daohua. That girl told me about this last time when she came back. I thought she was joking, so I didn't take it to heart. "
Hearing this, Yan Zhi is not angry, nor is it not angry: "Why don't you tell me such a big thing?"
Ms. Li's tone was low: "I said that, I thought that girl was joking." After that, she asked tentatively, "How many medicinal materials did Daohua donate?"
The royal archway is not only the glory of their family, but also the glory of the entire Yan clan.
Yan Zhigao's expression stagnated for a while, and then faintly compared the word "two".
He didn’t know that his daughter was so capable!
Seeing Mrs. Li, she was surprised: "Do you donate 20,000 stone medicinal materials to get a royal gift archway?"
Yan Zhigao was speechless: "What 20,000 shi, it is 200,000 shi." After speaking, he shook his head and turned to entertain the decree staff.
Ms. Li was stunned for a while, only to recover from her daughter’s donation of 200,000 stone medicinal materials, and then went to the old lady’s yard.
At this moment, the Yan family gathered in the old lady's room, and everyone looked happy.
The emperor bestowed the Loyalty Archway, and the Yan family has since changed the door.
Ms. Li saw the old lady and couldn’t help but say: "Mother, do you know that Daohua girl donated 200,000 stone medicinal materials to the court."
Wu was taken aback: "Where does the rice flower come from so many medicinal materials?"
The old lady Yan responded calmly and explained to everyone: "Didn’t the girl buy two hills before? There happened to be a big valley between the hills, and she planted a lot of medicinal herbs there, and I helped to sprinkle them. Seed it."
"The old man said that there is a Valley of the King of Medicine in the south, so the girl named the valley Baicao Valley." He said, smiled, "Listen, does it seem like you are fighting a ring?"
Looking at the smiling old lady, Mrs. Li didn't know what to say. After a while, she said, "Mother, we got the Imperial Memorial Archway. I'm afraid we have to go back to my hometown."
The old lady Yan was silent for a moment: "The boss has official duties to be busy, so let Wenxiu go back. By the way, the third child will go back too. The archway that Daohua earned for our family can't be built sloppy."
Ms. Li quickly appeared proud, and couldn't hide her smile and said: "This girl, she did such a big event silently. I will send someone to tell her immediately and make that girl proud."
The old lady Yan nodded with a smile.
Next, Yan Yishuang and Yan Wenbin glanced at each other silently, sighing in their hearts.
In this life, they are afraid that they are no better than their big sisters.
Since the ban has been lifted, the auntie is not as favored as before. For this reason, she has often said in their ears that they want to catch up with their big brothers and sisters.
Now that the big sister even got the royal gift archway for the family, how can they super?
Provincial government, after the Su family learned the news, Master Su directly laughed from ear to ear, and said bluntly that the Yan family was right.
Mrs. Su went to Su Shiyu’s yard, saw her daughter sitting in a daze at the window, walked by and smiled and asked, "Thinking about Wenkai again?"
Su Shiyu's face was reddish, and she said, "Mother, what are you talking about?"
Mrs. Su joked her daughter a few words, and then sighed: "I was a little worried when I assigned you to Wen Kai. Yeah, don't worry about it."
Because it was not easy to keep the staff and craftsmen waiting for a long time, Yan Wenxiu led everyone back to his hometown the next day.
Han Xinran sent her off with her pregnant belly, and Mother Han was worried that she was tired, so she kept persuading her to go back.
"Sister, I'm not tired. I don't know how long I will stay here this time, I want to see more."
Looking at Han Xinran’s rosy and stretched face, Mother Han didn’t say much, noticing the enviable glances around her, and smiled: “The girl is really blessed, this Yan family, the girl is married right.”
Han Xinran touched his stomach, smiled and nodded: "Isn't it?"
Royal reward archway, is the family of the capital, there are not many.
The most important thing is that the word'loyalty and righteousness' proscribed by the emperor. With this reputation, people will have a high-level look at where Yan's family will go in the future.
Thinking about the days of marrying into Yan's house, the mother-in-law is reasonable, the sister-in-law is easy to get along with, and there is almost nothing to worry about, and the smile on Han Xinran's face is getting deeper and deeper.
Peach Blossom Village.
Daohua was also very happy after knowing that the emperor had rewarded him with the imperial memorial arch, and said to Gu Jian: "This time the emperor has finally kept his word."
Gu Jian glanced at his apprentice, and just wanted to ask the emperor when he was not trustworthy, he couldn't help but think of looking for a gold mine.
This girl is still thinking about being the county head.
