The husband is a love brain

"Why don't I reward your father?" The emperor raised his eyebrows and asked Zhao Shutong with interest.

You know, as soon as his decree to become a farming official was issued, those village chiefs and Zhao Shutong's uncle Wutang were officially promoted to the country gentry class, which was distinguished from ordinary farmers.

Not just anyone with some money can become a squire. Every squire’s family has a certain background. Maybe someone in the ancestors was an official or there were famous people in dozens of families, which allowed the family to develop rapidly, or in a Local entanglements have been operating for hundreds of years.

"Reporting to the emperor, donating sweet potatoes to the people in the northwest is the wish of all the villagers in Shitai Village, Shiling Village, etc. The elders took the lead in persuading the villagers. My father and Uncle Wutang responded positively. The sweet potatoes to be offered by each household were cleaned up properly before they dared to offer them to you. The emperor rewarded the village chief, my father and Uncle Wutang alone, It is because they donate a lot of things and feel that their good deeds are great, but at the same time they will mislead the world, making them think that the villagers are not rewarded for their small good deeds, and they will not be rewarded for small good deeds, but they will harm themselves. I don’t have the patience to do good deeds.” Zhao Shutong said.

"How can generals and soldiers be rewarded at the same time." The emperor shook his head in disapproval.

"Returning to the emperor, don't do evil because it is small, and don't do nothing because it is small. I once heard a saying that charity is not money, whether it is donating [-] catties of grain or ten catties of grain. They are all kind-hearted people, and there should be no distinction between high and low. In the same way, the soldiers are fighting bloody battles outside to defend the country and the people behind them, whether they are generals planning strategies and dispatching soldiers, or soldiers sent by others, or even serving as soldiers. Soldiers who are cooking fires have only one name in my heart, they are all heroes. Only when small goodness gathers to form a great good, and small soldiers form an army, can they overcome difficulties and defend the country for you, the emperor." Zhao Shutong said.

"I think Mr. Zhao Shuji's words are justified." Pei Shilang stood up and said, "The 400 million sweet potatoes were grown by six villagers on an acre-by-acre field. No one can replace the hard work, and the reward should not be received by others. "

"Then Aiqing thinks how I should reward everyone in Shitai Village." The emperor asked.

"Your majesty, why don't you reward the people in Shitai Village and other people in accordance with the decree, and reward corn and cloth. When the agricultural officials are promoted in the future, give priority to the farmers in Shitai Village or give Shitai Village a few more places. Those who want to be agricultural officials in the future must I will farm the land well and strive to meet your standards, which is more fair than directly granting titles to the village chiefs." Pei Shilang suggested.

The emperor nodded.

He had originally planned to give Shitai Village some financial rewards, and the appointment as an agricultural official was purely a whim. Since the two lovers felt that it was inappropriate, Zhao Shutong even stopped his father from being an official, and the emperor no longer insisted. up.

"You're a very chicken thief." Walking out of the imperial study, Pei Shilang said to Zhao Shutong.

"Father-in-law is too much for the prize." Zhao Shutong cupped his hands.

"Don't do this to me." Pei Shilang waved his hand and took a step first.

Zhao Shutong's refusal of the farmer's matter made it clear in front of the emperor that the villagers and his father's offering of sweet potatoes was entirely their spontaneous behavior and had nothing to do with him.As the discoverer of sweet potatoes, he has already been appreciated by countless people. If he mobilizes his neighbors to offer sweet potatoes to the northwest, he will become famous among the people. I am afraid that he will only be used as a royal mascot in this life. As for doubting him.

Although the power in the hands of the emperor can definitely find out the matter, as a courtier, he still has to express his position when it is time to express his position, and act when it is time to act.

The second is to attribute the credit to the collective and push away the agricultural officials who got the village chiefs. This is to make trouble for the village chiefs who fooled and threatened his father.When the emperor really wants to promote agricultural officials in the future, some people from these villages will be elected, but the possibility of these village chiefs who often do not work in the fields is unlikely to be selected.

Regardless of whether it is the reward given by the emperor this time or the selection of agricultural officials in the future, the villagers don't know the specific situation, so they may still regard this bad boy as a good person.

Brother-in-law is thinking so much, Pei Shilang is worried that his family, Qiqi, will be wronged.

The grandson's full moon is about to come, so he wants to choose a full moon gift for the child.

Three days later, six villages including Shitai Village received rewards from the palace.

The emperor issued a decree to praise Shitai Village and other six villages, and wrote the plaque of Zhongxiao Village for Shitai Village with his own handwriting. Other villages have plaques given by the emperor. Shiling Village is inscribed Zhongyi Village, Shimo Village is inscribed Zhongyong Village, etc. .

Regardless of how much shock his move brought to the outside world, the emperor and the queen praised Zhao Shutong's character, "He is not greedy for merit, but he has a group of relatives who are holding back."

"Zhao Shuji is willing to use sweet potatoes as a betrothal gift to beg the elder brother of the Minister's Mansion. His character flaws are not concealed, so there is no need to say more. Although the people in Shitai Village are a little cautious about donating food, their loyalty can stand doubt. "The Empress said.

"Otherwise, I wouldn't want to give them a farm official." The emperor snorted, but Pei Shilang didn't appreciate Weng's son-in-law.However, what Zhao Shutong said about charity is the heart, not the money, and the emperor still approves it.When the people of Daqi are rich in the future, he can also teach the people in this way.In this way, when a disaster occurs, the people of the whole country will go to help the affected areas, and the pressure on the court will be less.

"Your majesty, the agricultural officials you will select in the future are all people who are good at farming. Mr. Zhao Shuji may be afraid that if you appoint an agricultural official now, your future plans will be ruined."

"It's as much as he thinks."

Although the emperor complained, the empress could hear a bit of intimacy from it.

"The concubine heard that when Zhao Shuji's eldest son was born, he was as white as the fairy boy in the New Year pictures, and compared our emperor's son. I heard that when Zhao Fulang was pregnant, Zhao Shuji would go home on time every day to accompany him. Take Zhao Fulang for a walk, and make him happy, just so that the baby will be born smoothly." The empress said enviously, she had given birth to Pei Qi's baby well and raised it well during pregnancy.

The emperor occasionally pays attention to Zhao Shutong's news and knows a little about it.

Especially after entering the Shuchang Hall, Zhao Shutong basically went back to accompany his husband after school in the Shuchang Hall almost every day. Nine out of ten invitations in the same year did not go. Things he fears.

The emperor also felt that he was worthless.

No matter how high the family is, he is the head of the family. He dotes on his husband like a dog licking him, and his reputation is lost.Brother Pei Qi is ignorant, but he is indeed a person who knows how to live. If he subdues his husband and son-in-law, he will be happy in his life in the inner house.

The emperor's disdain for Zhao Shutong was well concealed in front of his wife.

The wife envied the life of the young couple, and the emperor comforted him, "After the past two years, the state affairs will no longer be so busy. I will take Zitong to live in the garden built in the south of the Yangtze River for a while, and be an ordinary couple."

"The concubine is waiting for you." The queen said with a smile, and did not ask the emperor when the agreement would be fulfilled.

When the emperor returned to work in the imperial study, Eunuch Laixi took out a stack of memorials, "Your Majesty, Captain Qingche is in the memorial again and wants to be in charge of the promotion of corn."

The emperor's face darkened, "It is on hold and will not be returned."

"Yes."

Shitai Village, Shimo Village and other villages that received rewards from the emperor all ran to the village chief's house to watch the plaques and share the rewards from the emperor.

"The village head was fortunate to have listened to your words, so we can have a day of exaltation."

"The emperor rewarded the plaque, and now I walk out with my back straight."

"Let those city people look down on us country people again. We country people will be praised by the emperor for farming well. They live in the capital and have never seen anyone who can make the emperor give a plaque to the corn cloth."

"Now I think that the son of the shopkeeper's family is no big deal. Let my Alan marry a young man in the village. Everyone in the village will be proud."

"Mother, what are you talking about?" The little girl named Alan ran home annoyed by her mother's words.

The village chief didn't bother to pay attention to these people's flattery. He begged his grandpa and grandma to let these people offer sweet potatoes with him, but none of them were willing.Now that things are done, it's all an afterthought.

The commotion here continues.

"The fabric given by the emperor is good. It came from the palace. I can wear a piece of fabric that the lady in the palace wears in my life. It's worth it."

"Go, go, why do you have business everywhere? With just such a few things, it's not enough to make a few new clothes for the old men and women at home. The emperor just sealed us as Zhongxiao Village, so we must be loyal and filial .”

"In the middle, I will make it for the old ladies and old ladies. After the old ladies wear it, let me have a good time."

The village chief also felt excited when he saw these people ignorantly fighting for the backlog of things in the palace.The last time everyone was so happy was when the sweet potato harvest was bumper. At that time, no one expected to harvest so many sweet potatoes from the field.

"Village Chief, should our Shitai Village be renamed Zhongxiao Village directly?" someone asked suddenly.

"Of course I will change it, but it depends on whether everyone is willing to change it." The village chief asked for everyone's opinions.

"Yes, of course we have to change it. This is the name the emperor gave our village, and let others know." Some people booed.

"Okay, then change it." The village chief shouted angrily.

The village head not only wants to change the name of the village, but also wants to call on the villagers to pay for the construction of an ancestral hall to enshrine the plaque bestowed by the emperor.Because of the benefits, everyone agreed with the village chief's words this time, and they didn't even feel distressed when they gave out money.

Several other villages have also followed Shitai Village, changing the name of the village and building ancestral halls to enshrine plaques.

Zhao Shutong learned of the village head's plan and asked Zhao Gui to send back 200 taels of silver, which would be counted as part of the ancestral hall built by him and old man Zhao.

The offering of sweet potatoes in Shitai Village caused a huge sensation, and Concubine Rou's family was very excited.Liu Ye's request to be responsible for the promotion of corn was not approved last time, and he joined forces with several ministers in the court to ask the emperor for the promotion of corn.

However, the emperor's plan to promote corn would take a year or two, so he rejected the letter again.

People in the capital also talked about the offering of sweet potatoes in Zhongxiao Village.

"Zhongxiao Village has only planted sweet potatoes for more than a year, and the sweet potatoes that were several hundred catties at the beginning have become 400 million catties."

The people around took a deep breath.

"There are so many sweet potatoes, so I donate it as soon as I say it, it's a big deal." Someone said with a thumbs up.

"One mu of land can produce three thousand catties. The sweet potatoes make a lot of money. If I go to Zhongxiao Village to buy some sweet potatoes and use them as seeds, will they sell them?"

"No way, there are not enough plants in the Northwest."

"Why not, the emperor didn't allow the people to grow it because there were not enough plants in the northwest. I heard from my relatives in the imperial army that the imperial court sent tens of millions of catties of sweet potatoes to the northwest one after another, and the northwest only had 600 million. People, enough for them to plant. After another harvest or two, no one in the Northwest will go hungry."

"The imperial court spent too much manpower and material resources on the promotion of sweet potatoes, so they will definitely allow trading and let merchants bring sweet potatoes to all parts of Daqi. If you can buy sweet potatoes and plant them now, you can still make some money." An insightful person Mr. said.

Some people who thought it was reasonable nodded and wanted to go to Zhongxiao Village to try their luck and buy some sweet potatoes.

As soon as Pei Xu, who had returned to the capital in fine clothes, entered the capital, he heard discussions at the stalls at the gate of the city.

"Ink, go find out what's going on."

"It's your son."

Pei Xu's servant soon found out the matter and reported it to him.

Pei Xu didn't expect that he only left for half a year, and his little uncle not only became a mum, but also his little uncle's fellow countrymen united to do such a big event.

I don't know what role his little uncle played in it.

However, Pei Xu didn't have time to deal with these things now, he managed to pass the examination as a scholar with the second-to-last result, and was anxious to go back to get his Suhe Guanding and Peony back.
