The boss is dressed as cannon fodder
28, Farmer's Child Bride28
Jiang He brought his two daughters back to the capital. Shun Niang had been pregnant for two months.
"What a good baby." Jiang He was very satisfied that the baby in Shun Niang's belly did not bother her.
The family moved into the imperial farm. The emperor asked Jiang He to be the head of the farm and sent eunuchs to specially punish the farmers so that they would not give a cold shoulder to the meritorious officials.
The imperial farm was located in the suburbs of the capital. It was very large, with mountains and water. The scenery was quite beautiful, but the emperor rarely came here for vacation.
"This is a farm mainly for growing crops. There are many chickens, ducks and geese. Before, a lady came here and stepped on feces... Oh, I regret it! It was just a duck that was forgotten to be locked up! Speaking of which, the royal family has a special farm for vacation, and it is planted with beautiful flowers and plants. No wonder our farm is not welcomed by the royal family..." Vegetables are not as beautiful as flowers, and chickens, ducks and geese will defecate everywhere. Those delicate ladies are not vague when eating meat, but they are disgusted with animal feces!
The old village head is a chatterbox, and he talks endlessly. It stands to reason that he should give up his position to the new village head, and the old village head should be unhappy, but the old village head is not unhappy at all, on the contrary, he especially welcomes Jiang He.
The eunuch sent by the emperor is very good at dealing with people, and he told Jiang He about the old village head.
The old village head originally wanted to retire to the capital to enjoy family happiness with his son, but he stayed to help because he heard that the new village head was Jiang He.
"Then let's work hard to make the village the best in the world, and the emperor will definitely be happy to come then." Jiang He smiled, with such a local snake around, he could carry out his work much more smoothly.
The old village head narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I heard that you planted potatoes with a yield of 3,000 kilograms per mu, I will listen to you! By the way, the emperor also sent 600 kilograms of potatoes, you decide how to plant them, and we will listen to your instructions." He also wanted to see what it would look like to grow grain with a yield of 3,000 kilograms per mu.

The two Niuniu quickly adapted to the environment. The houses here are large and gorgeous, and there are many fruit trees with rich varieties. In addition, the mountains are bigger, there are more prey, and there are rivers. It feels like you will never get tired of staying here for a lifetime.
The autumn harvest has passed, and Jianghe is not busy. He has to wait until next spring to start his official work. It should be like this, but this year's autumn tiger is very strong, and the dry autumn is even more annoying.
The emperor and the prince are not in a good mood. It has been cold at this time in previous years. They are worried that winter will come late, the snow will not fall in time and not enough, and if the insects in the ground are not frozen to death by the heavy snow, there will probably be a disaster next year.
Shunniang quickly lost weight. She did not have morning sickness and was relatively stable, but it was too hot. She couldn't sleep and her clothes were wet with sweat all night.
Jianghe knew that pregnant women were afraid of heat and it was very difficult to endure such dry and hot weather, but the ice in the capital was bought by wealthy families as soon as it appeared.
"It wasn't that hot last autumn, and many wealthy families didn't have enough ice reserves. We calculated that it wasn't that hot in our manor, but it was even hotter in the capital, and many elderly people fell ill." The head of the manor apologized, "Sir, the ice in this manor has long been taken away by the royal family. I should have left some for you."
"It's okay, I'll find a way."
***
The head of the manor stared at the ice cubes made by Jiang He in amazement. Can ice be made with water?
The emperor didn't come, but the prince who was still talking in a cackle came over. He looked at it with a look of surprise, "Is it really ice?"
The prince felt that Jiang He was worthy of being a mascot, and it would bring good luck to his father as well as himself. Originally, his position was not so stable. Although he was the legitimate son of the Eastern Palace, he still had older brothers in front of him.
After the potato incident, the forces that originally opposed him in the court were reduced. His current position is much more stable, and his brothers are more obedient than before.
The prince took the recipe for making ice away and secretly made up his mind to hang out in front of the mascot more often when he had time.
Within two days, some shops in the capital began to sell ice, and it was said that the business was booming.
Jiang He didn't care. He didn't want to be a big businessman. In ancient times, it was not easy for merchants to get along.
But the emperor still rewarded a lot of things. Gold and silver were fine. Jiang He was happy about the medicinal materials suitable for pregnant women. What made him most satisfied was that the emperor sent an old female doctor from the palace who was good at nursing pregnant women and delivering babies.
The old emperor also deeply agreed with the prince's opinion. He had thought that Jiang He was a mascot before. After the silver from the sale of ice cubes was secretly put into the private treasury, he deepened this idea.
Don't ask why the emperor was rich and still engaged in business. Just look at the empty treasury to know how stupid this question is.
The hot weather lasted for more than a month before it gradually began to cool down.
Shun Niang, who had recovered, was in high spirits and made pickled vegetables with the women in the village to ensure that they could survive the winter.
Jiang He frowned. Eating pickled vegetables all the time is not good for the body, not to mention for a pregnant woman.
"No way, there are not many vegetables in winter, except cabbage and radish, but eating them every day is boring." After getting pregnant, Shunniang was calm and gentle, and she looked like a woman who lived a rich, happy and peaceful life.
"I'll think of a way." Jiang He pondered for a while and called the strong men in the village to go into the mountains.
The old village head found that he was useless. Since Jiang He turned water into ice, his prestige in the village was greater than his. He asked the farmers to go east, but they would never go west.
After the first snow fell, there was no vegetation on the ground. Jiang He, who had been going into the mountains with the strong men in the village to chop firewood and burn charcoal, finally gave up.
"No matter how cold this winter is, we won't need so much charcoal, right?" The old village head was puzzled. "Besides, these charcoals are not good charcoals. The smoke is very choking. Even if you sell them, you won't get much silver." No matter how poor people in the capital, they don't want to buy such inferior charcoal.
Just as Jiang He was about to say something, his two daughters came running over.
"Dad, what should we do? Mom can't eat anymore." The eldest girl looked worried, "Mom doesn't like meat now, she only wants to eat vegetables, but she's tired of eating cabbage and radish every day."
"Don't worry, leave it to Dad." What else can he do if his wife wants to eat fresh vegetables in winter? Just do it.
The old village head watched Jiang He toss and turn, and the people in the village were also happy to accompany him to toss and turn. Since Jiang He tossed and turned water into ice more than a month ago, the people in the village have become his crazy fans.
The conditions in ancient times were too limited, and Jiang He finally tossed and turned out a simple version of the vegetable greenhouse.
The old village head's eyes were wide open, oh my, it turns out that those bad charcoals are not for roasting people but for roasting vegetables!
People in the village came to see the results from time to time, and it really worked. Not only were the vegetable seeds not roasted to death, but they were also roasted!
When everything was white at a glance, this green color was so festive!
As soon as the vegetables were served, Shunniang not only did not lose weight, but also gained two kilograms in the winter.
Then the prince, who had not yet passed the voice change period, came over again. He ignored the principle of silence and cheered: "It's vegetables, it's great, the queen's grandmother has always had a poor appetite and wants to eat fresh vegetables."
When the heavy snow blocked the door and it was so cold that people had no appetite, the fresh vegetables produced by the imperial farm made a sensation in the whole capital. The emperor gave each family a little bit of money with heartache and hinted that they should buy it with money. Then he counted the silver with a smile. Cucumbers in this cold weather must cost five taels of silver per kilogram.
Jiang He happily ate hot pot with his family. It was indeed good to work for the thickest thigh in the world. The nobles who wanted to visit him were stopped by the emperor and the prince.
Shunniang touched the silver given by the emperor and thought about buying another shop. As for the two daughters, they had to prepare dowries from now on.
***
Jiang He's son Jiang Chengen was finally born. The emperor gave him a name. When he was one month old, the emperor condescended to come over. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that as long as he didn't rebel in this life, he would be the winner.
The yield of potatoes sent to the south for cultivation came out, and countless people gave the emperor a title of "Wanjia Shengfo". Those who were related to him began to become famous, especially the prince.
The court officials standing behind the other princes were uneasy. They wanted to tear down the prince. Now the prince's reputation was too loud and they couldn't do anything. Jiang He could still be torn down. Anyway, he was a member of the prince's party. Tearing him down meant that the prince would lose an arm.
So Jiang He began to be known as an unfilial person.
The emperor was furious. The silver he rewarded to Jiang He was used by him for experiments. Jiang He said he wanted to grow more high-yield food. He was so loyal to the emperor and patriotic. How could such a person be unfilial!
"This winter, Jiang He sold the vegetables he grew for a lot of money, but he used it all to help the victims. How much money did you give?" The emperor's voice was cold. Every winter, there were victims whose houses were crushed by snow. Jiang He was an honest man. He told him that the emperor would provide him with food and accommodation. Compared with the poor whose houses were crushed by heavy snow, he was too lucky, so he simply donated the money.
Jiang He: I'll see who dares to morally kidnap me now!
***
The two thickest thighs in the world were hugged by Jiang He, and his life became more and more comfortable.
Raising a child is really tiring and fun. Jiang Chengen can crawl, walk, run and even climb trees. Jiang He's series of achievements began to shock the world.
Changed the way of transplanting rice, and the rice yield increased by 20%! Improved agricultural tools, especially threshers and water wheels, made many small officials in the Ministry of Industry want to stay in the village.
The intercropping plantation invented by Jiang He… Oh, and the most amazing grafting—before this, people had never thought that peaches could be grown on plum trees.
There are also the three-color peonies and colored camellias that Jiang He experimented with out of curiosity… Basically, as soon as they appeared, they were scrambled by flower lovers waving silver notes. Now everyone in the capital knows that although Jiang He is a farmer, he must be the richest farmer in the world!
This year, Jiang He found corn from a sea merchant, and he secretly bought it and planted it himself.
The emperor came to vacation with a sad face, and the prince also came to get a mascot.
The prince has passed the puberty period, is tall and handsome, and has a pleasant voice. He is the male god in the hearts of countless girls in the capital.
Jiang He still gets along well with his two superiors. The emperor changed the holiday villa to the manor where Jiang He is a long time ago. The ladies don’t like chicken, duck, and goose feces, and he doesn’t take any of them except the queen! So the queen also has a very good impression of Jiang He, and gave Shun Niang and the two girls a lot of respect.
Many wealthy families in the capital looked at the two beautiful girls and began to list Jiang He's two daughters as candidates for daughters-in-law.
***
Jiang He respected the emperor but was not too flattering, and the two of them got along like close friends.
For the emperor, what he liked most about Jiang He was his eagerness to learn and his lack of greed. Every time he asked Jiang He what reward he wanted, he asked him for some talents who had nowhere to live in the palace or the court to relieve his pressure.
Alas, it would be great if there were more capable and sensible people like Jiang He in the court.
For example, the nanny found for the two girls was good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting... Oh, by the way, his two girls liked to learn these and persisted.
Once, the emperor suddenly wanted to come to Zhuangzi. When he saw Jiang He embroidering under the guidance of a retired old embroiderer in the palace, he was stunned and in a trance for a long time.
The prince's three views were completely shattered until Jiang He calmly told him that this was for the advancement of medicine and that he had made a great discovery in medicine.
The emperor still trusted the mascot very much, and immediately sent imperial doctors, including Luo Lao, who was visiting relatives in the capital.
After several imperial doctors conducted experiments, they were overjoyed. Sure enough, the bleeding rate slowed down after the wound was repaired, and the survival rate of many soldiers after being injured was greatly increased.
The emperor was so happy that he rewarded Jiang He again. He knew that he would not learn needlework for no reason.
What a good minister, in order to find the progress of medicine, he never gave up even when he was discriminated against, insulted, despised and looked down upon as an embroiderer!
After the news came out, it simply moved the whole Da Qi!
Shun Niang: "…………"
Jiang He hid his merits and fame and embroidered a handkerchief with mandarin ducks playing in the water for his wife, thinking that one day when he returned to the modern world, he would definitely be called an embroidery master.
Then no matter what Jiang He did, the emperor's attitude was to encourage him, and he would give him the talent he wanted.
Jiang He then learned to cook from the imperial chef, learned calligraphy and painting, and even learned to compete with his son to see whose homework was better. The emperor and the prince were so shocked that they were speechless.
"Lord Jiang is really a lifelong learner."
"Lin Daru also said that he understood everything at once, but it's a pity that he didn't have formal learning before, otherwise the emperor would have another loyal minister." The prince really admired him. It would be fine if Jiang He learned one thing, but the problem was that he learned everything and learned it well. The prince, who was a little arrogant, looked at it and returned to the study silently. He couldn't be arrogant anymore.
Jiang He smiled freely, "Aren't you serving the emperor now?"
The emperor felt that he had enough ministers, and that a farmer who could grow 3,000 kilograms of grain per mu - oh, more than that, it is said that the highest yield has reached 5,000 kilograms of grain is more important than hundreds of court officials combined.
"I really don't understand why your mother wanted to train your brother instead of you?" The prince was surprised by Jiang He's learning ability. When Jiang He was impeached before, he specially investigated the Jiang family. That Jiang Erlang couldn't even compare to his toes.
"It's simple. I'm not good-looking enough." Jiang He touched his ugly face, "My brother is very good-looking. I heard that the first place in the imperial examination is to look at the face..."
Before Jiang He finished speaking, the prince bowed tall. Jiang He was shocked and hurried to help him up.
"I have learned from you. I will never judge people by appearance in the future! Talents should be judged by their talents rather than their appearance."
The emperor was also taught. He couldn't imagine how many people like Jiang He were so talented but were delayed by their appearance and could not serve him.
"I will issue an edict. In the future, the imperial examination will not be judged by appearance. Those with imperfections in appearance can take the imperial examination!" For people like Jiang He, let alone ordinary looks, he will not refuse anyone even if they have broken hands and feet!
After this decree was issued, there were indeed many more talents. After the prince ascended the throne, he was extremely grateful to Jiang He.
These ugly officials knew that it was because of his conversation with Jiang He that they had the opportunity to take the imperial examination. After that, they were extremely supportive of the prince. No matter what the decree was, these ugly officials executed it quickly and well.
