Fifteen years later, under the guidance of the people on Crucian Carp Island, batches of potatoes flowed into Dachu through Shuiman Kingdom. At the same time, more and more scholars came to Yuanjiang Mansion from all over the country.

The first batch of scholars who came to Yuanjiang Mansion and learned to speak the barbarian language had already entered the Shuiman Kingdom in various ways.

Time has arrived in March, and under the auspices of the Secretary of Agriculture, all counties in Yuanjiang Prefecture have begun to officially plant potatoes.

On the afternoon of March 15th, Jiang Mingyue directed her children to cut the buds from the potatoes and then took them to plant them in a vat. This way they can take it back to Kyoto when they leave.

"Auntie, are my crops good?" Tuanzi, whose hands were covered in mud, blinked with big, smart eyes.

"The planting is very good, even better than the planting by grandma."

Tuanzi smiled proudly.

"I think you've done a good job in taking care of the flowers. Is it okay to let you take care of the potatoes in the future?"

"Okay!" Tuanzi said, patting his small chest.

"Mom, do these potatoes need to be cultivated as carefully as flowers?" Putao looked at his mother and asked.

"No need. It's just like wildflowers. It's very tenacious. Just water it once a few days and fertilize it once in a while."

While the mother and daughter were talking, Xie Yuan and Jiang Minghong came over. Tuanzi was the first person to see them.

"Dad, uncle!"

Jiang Mingyue turned around and looked at the two of them with surprise on their faces: "How come you guys bumped into each other?"

"I went to inspect the fields and happened to meet my brother, so we came back together."

Jiang Minghong leaned over and picked up Tuanzi, looked at Jiang Mingyue and said, "My parents have reserved a private room in Wangjiang Tower. My sister will change clothes for Tuanzi and Putao, and let's set off."

"Row!"

The younger brother and Shen Yu have already decided on their itinerary. They will leave Yuanjiang Mansion on the 18th and travel elsewhere. A few days ago, my parents said that they would spare a day for a farewell party for the two of them, but they didn't expect it to be today.

A quarter of an hour later, the five people set off to Wangjiang Tower. In the carriage, Jiang Mingyue watched Tuanzi and Putao followed his brother on a pony. He lowered the curtain, turned to look at Xie Yuan and asked in a low voice: " Have you discussed the gold mine matter?"

They will return to Beijing in June. During this time, Xie Yuan, his father, and his younger brother have been discussing whether to report the gold mine to the court.

"It's been discussed. I've done enough credit in the past few years. Reporting the gold mine at this time is just the icing on the cake, so it's better not to report it.

Father-in-law and Minghong hold this gold mine, which is equivalent to having an extra trump card in their hands, which is more beneficial in the long run. "

It was pretty much what she expected.

Jiang Mingyue, Xie Yuan and others bid farewell to Jiang Minghong and Shen Yu at Wangjiang Tower. On the eighteenth day, the two left Yuanjiang Mansion on horseback under the watch of everyone.

In April, after Jiang Mingyue and her maid carefully wiped the front and back of the mansion, she and her children began to inventory the things.

In the study, Xie Yuan wrote a letter to the Holy Emperor. First, he told him the policies of the Yuanjiang Prefecture for the next year. Second, he recommended Sun Jing to succeed him as the prefect of Yuanjiang and the reasons for recommending Sun Jing.

After the letter was sent, he began to frequently invite magistrates from various counties to come to Fucheng to discuss matters.

In mid-April, Song Ming read Xie Yuan's letter. After pondering for a moment, he called Mr. Shen Ge in. The monarch and his ministers talked for a long time until noon, before Mr. Shen Ge left the palace.

In the court hall the next day, Song Ming officially issued an imperial edict calling Xie Yuan back to the capital. As soon as the edict came out, the court hall immediately became lively. People from the eldest prince and the second prince's faction recommended their own people to serve as the first magistrate of Yuanjiang. job.

Song Ming listened to the people they recommended and thought of what Mr. Shen Ge said yesterday. He gently touched the jade plate on his thumb and fell into deep thought.

After everyone had finished recommending them, Hu Yushi suddenly came out and took a copy of the book for the two people who were the most vocal. However, what he said was true. Because Hu Yushi had evidence, the people who recommended them all lowered their heads. I am afraid that the Holy Spirit will anger them.

Song Ming looked at the evidence and snorted coldly, got up and left. Not long after the morning court, the imperial edict to promote Sun Jing to the prefect of Yuanjiang came down. For a while, some people were happy and some were sad.

Xie Yuan didn't know anything about the matters in Kyoto. It took him a month to finally arrange everything in Yuanjiang Mansion.

Time soon came to May, and there was another wheat harvest. This time Xie Yuan personally participated in the harvest and harvested it with everyone.

It was already mid-May when the summer taxes were returned to the warehouse. At that time, the transfer order was delivered to Xie Yuan via the inn. The Holy Emperor ordered him to return to Beijing on another day, and Sun Jing took over his post as the prefect of Yuanjiang. After receiving the transfer order, Xie Yuan returned home.

Jiang Mingyue didn't expect that the transfer order would come out so quickly. Fortunately, she had already made preparations before, everything that needed to be packed away, and everyone that needed to be seen had been seen, so she wouldn't be in a hurry.

The couple set a date to return to Beijing on the 26th. Xie Yuan got up and went to the small bank of Yuanjiang River, while Jiang Mingyue took her children to Crucian Carp Island. She would be leaving soon. She wanted to spend more time with her parents.

One day later, the news that Xie Yuan was leaving spread quickly in Yuanjiang Mansion. Although the people had known the news for a long time, when it came time for Xie Yuan to leave, they still couldn't hide their sadness. For a while, they spontaneously came to Yuqian He went to alleys and prefecture offices just to get one more look at Xie Yuan.

Xie Yuan spent three days explaining the affairs of Yuanjiang Mansion to Sun Jing, and went to Crucian Carp Island after talking to Luan Yi and the others.

The next few days were the most relaxing period for Xie Yuan since he entered the court. He didn't have to think about anything, and he didn't have any burdens on him. He could do whatever he wanted and eat whatever he wanted.

Listening to my father-in-law's eloquent solution to one conflict after another, he accompanied his wife and children in and out of restaurants, drank tea with the scholars in the school, went fishing with some fishermen, and even went on a trip to the water with people from the caravan. Barbarian country.

In days like this, Xie Yuan suddenly understood why his master had retired to seclusion when he was at his peak as an official. It was quite a good life to let go of his glory, wealth and power.

At this moment, Xie Yuan's heart was sublimated, and he felt more calm no matter what he did or dealt with.

On May 23rd, before leaving Crucian Carp Island, Xie Yuan met with Zhao Mingli to make final arrangements.

There are very few generals who are good at water warfare in the court, so Zhao Mingli will take over Li Hu's position in the future and continue to guard here. There is an example of Zhang Zhongyue. Xie Yuan specifically mentioned a few words to him, and also hopes that in the future During these days, he can take more care of his father-in-law and his family.

In the early morning of May 26th, in the drizzle, Xie Yuan, Jiang Mingyue and their group drove quietly away from Yuanjiang Mansion.

The small bodies of Tuanzi and Putao were leaning on the carriage window to look outside.

"Dad, Mom, why is there no one on the street?"

Xie Yuan and Jiang Mingyue looked outside after hearing this. Although it was just dawn, the streets were already very lively in the past. What is going on today? Not a single person was seen. The couple only felt a little strange. After the carriage drove out of Yuanjiang Mansion, they finally understood why there was no one in the city.
