Chapter 597

PreviousBack to directoryNext
During the warm winter when the corn harvest here was bumper, the two acres of experimental fields in the capital are now also producing good crops.

Both acres are five and a half stones, so the difference of three to five liters is negligible.

When the emperor heard about this, he was so excited!

"I will definitely reward Uncle Wan Tong!" When it comes to business matters, the emperor would not directly call Dong Nuan by his name, but would rather address him by his title.

Five dan of grain per mu is produced!

At this time, even the old courtiers who used to oppose the woman Feng Bo and thought Si Chen was a chicken, all admired Dong Nuan.

"How about making Uncle Jin a marquis?" a courtier suggested.

The emperor really thought about this seriously.

However, compared to this, what the emperor wants to do more is...

"I don't think it's enough to just reward my uncle, right?" The emperor thought that if he wanted to reward him, he should do it together.

When the courtiers heard this, they realized that the emperor already had the regulations in mind, and most of them felt that they could just follow the crowd and make the emperor happy.

And this is not a bad thing, it is indeed a meritorious service.

Some people started to get confused about this and that...

It's not that they don't like other people's kindness, it's just their personality.

The emperor was interested, and most of the courtiers agreed, so the matter was quickly settled.

The emperor did not directly promote Dong Nuan as a marquis, but instead gave her another two hundred acres of land as a reward in the capital, next to Zhuangzi, which had previously been awarded to Dong Nuan.

The emperor thought that Dong Nuan might like this more, right?

At the same time, Zhao Hanjianglou will return to Beijing at the end of the year to report on his work and discuss next year's transfer.

I've told Dong Nuan about this a long time ago, but now it's just a process.

When Dong Nuan received the letter, it was already mid-November.

Your Majesty means that they had better set off in mid-December and come back before the end of the year.

Of course, if you are worried about the difficulty on the road, you can also start in early December.

There are other officials here, as well as Prefect Xu, so there can be no chaos.

The literacy class is going well now, and the flower planting and cultivation manuals here in Dongnuan have also been sorted out.

The manual is not thin, and Dong Nuan paid the college students to copy a lot of it.

Two copies were distributed to each village. If anyone wanted to read it, they could go to Li Zheng or the village chief.

Of course, if there are literate people in the village, you can borrow it back and copy it.

Anyway, this thing is just a waste of pen and ink.

The manual is provided free of charge. If there is anything you don’t understand, Dongnuan also provides technical guidance.

Dong Nuan and the others returned to Beijing to report on their work, while Shi Zhu and the others still needed to stay here. Cao Xinyao was studying well now, and she had handed over the female students at the academy to her new wife.

As for herself, she followed Dong Nuan's suggestion and directly secured Dong Nuan's Zhuangzi.

The Kaishan Group also has baking kilns and other things. Winter warmth is something that is left on the county government's public accounts. The next county magistrate can take over when he comes.

However, Zhuangzi opened it by himself, paid for it by himself, and the final harvest is also his own.

Therefore, it doesn't matter how Dong Nuan handles it. With her and Hanjiang Tower protecting her, Cao Xinyao will definitely be able to protect her.

Of course, Cao Xinyao doesn't have much money now, so it would have been nice to have been able to escape.

However, Dongnuan allowed her to take the loan, even though she didn't quite understand it.

However, if you follow the arrangements for keeping warm in winter, there won’t be much of a problem.

Dong Nuan has arranged all the necessary matters, and Shi Zhu and the others will not leave in a short time. They will continue to provide some technical guidance to the villagers, as well as Cao Xinyao's knowledge, if necessary, they can also check for any deficiencies.

In early December, Dong Nuan calculated that time was almost up, so she packed up and returned to Beijing with Hanjianglou to report on her work.

Magistrate Xu personally escorted them out of the city and watched eagerly as Dong Nuan and Hanjiang Lou left.

Watching the carriage drive away, Magistrate Xu sighed softly and whispered to Mrs. Qiao next to him: "I originally thought that I could be transferred first, but in the end I still couldn't compete with them, but think about it, the main contribution is still

People, I just followed the wave of light."

Magistrate Xu is not mentally unbalanced. The main thing is that this contribution is not his, he just followed it.

Therefore, there is no rush since he has not been transferred. Maybe he will be transferred next year?

In winter, their journey was relatively smooth.

Although many northern cities were hit by heavy snowfall this year, they were not like the year before, where mountains or cities were closed, making it difficult to move.

Therefore, they had a smooth journey in the warm winter.

They returned to the capital before the New Year.

Dongnuan and Hanjianglou are back, this is big news!

The two of them came back and went to Han Mansion first.

All the servants received the news early and had already cleaned up the house, waiting for their master to return.

In winter and spring, I had already bought a yard near Hanfu, but I didn’t live here very much on a daily basis. I spent more time in Zhuangzi.

That's where they live, so how can they do it without watching?

Now when they heard that Dong Nuan and the others were back, the two of them stopped caring about the food in the greenhouse. They simply packed up and hurried into the city.

After the two of them came back, they simply freshened up and then His Majesty's carriage arrived.

Okay, this is very efficient!

The two of them went directly into the palace and exchanged polite greetings with His Majesty. Then they sat down and talked about corn. By the way, they listened to Hanjianglou talk about the development issues of Jingxian County.

Hanjiang Tower has a complete set of plans for the development of Jing County. I originally thought that they would not come back so early and wanted to take their time.

But now that I am about to be promoted and leave, I have to explain the rest of the matter clearly.

After understanding the future development of Jingxian County, the emperor nodded: "I am going to arrange for you to pass the second place that year. He is very talented. It is a pity to stay in the Hanlin Academy. He also has his own thoughts, so I will make it happen."

If you can't do it, go to a ready-made place and try it out. If this doesn't work, then stay in Jing County for the rest of your life and let me find a way."

Dongnuan:……

It doesn’t have to be so cruel, right?

After the business was finished, the emperor asked Hanjianglou and Dongnuan some daily questions.

Then he stayed in the palace to eat. After the meal, the emperor continued to talk to Hanjianglou, while Dongnuan went to see the queen mother, empress, and concubine Rong.

However, the queen had been having a cold weather lately, so she didn't see anyone in Dongnuan, so she said a few words through the screen and then withdrew.

Nowadays, there is a new person in the palace replacing the old one. Concubine Rong has long lost her favor in the past, but the emperor is also a person who misses the old love.

Therefore, Concubine Rong is in good condition now, and the little prince can already run and jump. He goes to the prince's institute to study every day, and is picked up by his grandma in the evening.

When Dong Nuan came over, the little prince was still studying outside. Only Dong Nuan said a few words to Concubine Rong.

Concubine Rong didn't say anything to warm up the winter. After all, the resurrection of the Cao Mansion would have to wait three years after Mrs. Cao's death next year.

Therefore, it is useless now, and besides, it is impossible for the emperor not to reveal anything to her.

If the emperor had said that she wanted to order more Dongnuan, it might easily arouse Dongnuan's resentment. It would be better to just keep talking as usual as she is now, which is fine.
