Chapter 61 The decree is here!

What a wonderful child! So young and so considerate, Chu Qing couldn't hold back her tears and wanted to leave quickly. The sound of gongs was heard in the distance on the official road, and some villagers looked towards the official road.

The sound of the gong was still far away, but a fast horse quickly broke into people's sight. When the people on the horse saw a group of people at the bottom of the official road, they shouted, "The imperial decree has arrived! The imperial decree has arrived!"

The crowd didn't understand what was going on, and the fast horse had already turned down the official road and rushed towards the factory. The rider dismounted a few steps away from the crowd and asked loudly: "Who is Chu Qing?"

The crowd collectively turned to look at Chu Qing. This action was so obvious that the man on horseback immediately came to Chu Qing: "The imperial decree has arrived, Chu Qing, get ready to receive it!"

Imperial decree? Preparation?

"Uh... what should I prepare?" Chu Qing didn't know this! The person who came to deliver the message looked around and found nothing! These are all villagers in the mountains, and they probably don't know any rules. Also, the master has ordered that they have to do it in public.

Declared. Forget it, that’s it!

"Forget it, just set up the incense table here." The visitor ordered, "Others, take ten steps back."

The villagers retreated one after another, and the encirclement immediately expanded. Chu Qing was a little confused. There was an incense table somewhere, and I didn't worship Buddha. Chu Yuan spread his skills and went back in three steps to prepare. There were tables and incense. These were all

It is usually prepared by Baijiaxing and common people have it in their homes. But Chu Qing doesn’t use it, so he doesn’t know about it.

In a few minutes, Chu Yuan rushed over carrying the table, a bunch of incense on his waist, and an incense burner between his teeth. Chu Qing had a toothache for him.

As soon as the incense table was set up, the procession carrying the order had already come down from the official road. Two groups of soldiers ran nearby first and stood in line. The villagers immediately became silent, and those who had just been whispering and discussing did not dare to make any move.

After a while, Chu Qing saw a group of people, led by the commander-in-chief Hong Liang, followed by Song Tingshan, followed by several unknown officials, and finally followed by the county magistrate Xu Guangze.

The scene was quite grand. Chu Qing did not panic. She roughly guessed why these people came. An old official stepped forward and said in a rich voice: "Chu Qing, Xingtang County, Jizhou, accept the order!"

Behind the elderly official, Hong Liang gently pressed his palm down towards Chu Qing, signaling him to kneel down. Chu Qing did not look at him. This scene was like a costume drama. When he heard the word "accepting the order", he immediately

He knelt down directly.

This is the first time I have knelt down since I came to this world. I feel reluctant, but I still say the same thing, don’t fight against the environment. Don’t worry about which leg the rule says to kneel first, just kneel down. Xiaobao is also behind Chu Qing.

Kneel down. All the villagers from afar also knelt down, not daring to raise their heads.

"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict: Chu Qing, Xingtang County, Jizhou... cares about the country, has made contributions... has both wisdom and bravery... is specially appointed as a counselor of the Ministry of Industry, and has the same salary as a fifth-grade doctor... and is rewarded with a hundred gold coins.

Two, ten pieces of brocade and silk...I admire this!"

I didn't understand, but I "appreciate this". Chu Qing shouted "Long live" and kowtowed to receive the order. A series of actions were based on the TV series. Unknown people also learned to shout "Long live, long live, long live, long live" and followed very irregularly.

kowtow.

After receiving the imperial edict, he could stand up. Before Chu Qing could straighten his legs, he heard the veteran cadre who announced the edict say again: "The emperor has spoken..." He still had to kneel down. This was it. Chu Qing had to kneel down again.

The veteran cadre gave him a gesture of help: "No, the emperor has said it. The following words are instructions, and there is no need to kneel. The emperor orally said: Chu Qing led the villagers to fight against the gangsters and find out the information about the mines. He is brave and resourceful. He also presented the blast furnace blueprints, which will benefit the country.

People, this kind of behavior can be regarded as a model for women in the world. I think highly of you and hope that you will be more diligent in the future to benefit the people."

"Public woman... Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" Chu Qing replied. Now we are officially officials, and we no longer need to be civilians. In an instant, Chu Qing felt that her spine seemed to be very straight.

The surrounding villagers began to whisper. Chu Qing invited all the adults to go to the reception hall to have tea. Chu Yuan held the tray of official robes and official seals that Chu Qing had received behind him, holding his head high and chest out, following step by step. Xiaobao secretly put the thumb in his pocket

Give a piece of the emoticon snack bag to the old cadre grandpa.

The veteran cadre looked at the thumb on the bag. He was stunned at first, and then laughed heartily. Hong Liang joked on the side: "Where's mine?"

Song Tingshan was not idle either: "And mine too!"

The emoticon snacks in Xiaobao’s pocket were divided.

County magistrate Xu Guangze was behind, looking aggrieved: "No?"

Xiaobao thought for a moment, took out a piece of baked bean cake from his pocket, and handed it to him.

There is no emoticon. Xu Guangzhi was very sorry, but he still took a bite, um, it tastes good!

"Hey, it's delicious. Where's the dim sum?" Hong Liang couldn't help but ask after chewing the crispy snacks, "I'll buy some later too."

In fact, they are bean cakes. Recently, Xiaobao has replaced all the emoticon bags with bean cakes. Chu Qing won’t let him eat more, but these are all Xiaobao secretly saved every time. The only one that he didn’t have time to put the emoticons on was also eaten by Xu

The luster is going away.

In the reception hall, Bai Jiaxing served tea to everyone. The veteran cadre introduced himself to Chu Qing: "Chu Shenzhi, I am Huang Zhong, the right minister of the Ministry of Industry, and this is Mr. Fu Qiangfu, the doctor of the Ministry of Households. These guys are looking at

You are familiar with me here. I came here this time firstly to deliver the message, and secondly because I want to stay with you and ask you about the blast furnace."

The veteran cadre Huang Zhong was humble and kind, so Chu Qing quickly became cautious: "Sir, did you just say you would stay here?" "Yes, I want to study at your place," Huang Zhong said.

Song Tingshan said: "Mr. Huang insists on coming to you. The original plan was to arrive today, settle down at my place, and then come back to deliver the order tomorrow. But Mr. Huang is not in a hurry, regardless of the fatigue, and must come to you immediately.

"

"Okay, okay, the decree has been announced. There is nothing else to do. You can go back." The veteran cadres began to drive people away.

Chu Qing thought to himself, I don't agree with you staying either. But just thinking about it, the right minister of Hube, the third rank, dare not agree?

It was almost noon, and Chu Qing left the meal. Everyone was busy with something, so they left. Hong Liang scanned everyone's snacks and found that the snacks they had just eaten were not there. He couldn't help but ask: "Ms. Chu, are the snacks just like that gone?"

"That's not a snack. It's a by-product of my oil extraction." Chu Qing explained.

"A by-product?"

"It's the soybean meal that's left after I squeeze the soybean oil."

Everyone looked surprised, not because Chu Qing asked them to eat these scraps, but because this food was actually more delicious than dim sum.

"Soybean meal?" Hong Liang was curious, "Extracting oil?"

So, a group of people ran out to watch the oil pressing. The oil pressing location was on the edge of the field, so when they first came, they only saw bricks and not bean cakes.

Chu Qing took them to visit the entire site. They only need to walk in a straight line along the official road. On the left are the smelting room, blacksmithing room, warehouse, staff dormitory, and oil mill. At the far end is the reception hall. On the right hand side

It is a row of brick kilns, and further north there are adobe bricks. Because the oil mill was built recently, the reception hall is closer, but it is also blocked by adobe bricks.

Everyone couldn't help but marveled. Fu Qiang, the doctor from the Ministry of Finance, didn't care about anything else and stood in front of the piles of bean cakes without moving his feet.

Under the pressure of the bricks, those soybean cakes kept leaking yellow and bright soybean oil. The oil tank under the oil guide tank was almost full, and a worker was taking the empty tank to replace it.
