Chapter 283 My Mother Is A Reasonable General's Wife 31
However, these words could not be answered. Zhang Bo and Quan Fu could only shrink their necks, kneel and stand quietly to accompany Emperor Haoxuan.
Fortunately, Emperor Haoxuan didn't want to chat with them, he just looked at the manual sent by Zhang Bo quietly.
Eventually, Zhang Bo was given the official position of Sixth Grade Agriculturist by Emperor Haoxuan, specifically responsible for the cultivation of potatoes and sweet potatoes, and promoted these things to the entire dynasty.
Although this official position is not very big, it has real power in his hands.
Because it is under the direct management of Emperor Haoxuan, if anything happens, he will report it directly to Emperor Haoxuan, but no one can put small shoes on his shoulders to make him stumble.
After hearing this result, Zhang Bo kowtowed as if he was pounding garlic. He actually became an official. He actually cultivated himself into a capital official by farming.
He is proud of his ancestors!
But he owed his uncle, and he might not be able to repay it in his lifetime.
After sending Zhang Bo away, Emperor Haoxuan looked at the letter in his hand with a solemn expression: "Quan Fu, you said Uncle Changbei has made such great contributions, what should I reward her for?"
Quanfu lowered his head deeply: "I don't know, but the things your majesty rewards you are naturally the greatest grace. Uncle Changbei will definitely be grateful to your majesty."
Emperor Haoxuan's eyes became more profound: "How about I give Uncle Changbei another piece of fiefdom?"
Quanfu: "." It's not very good, but do you really think this is grace?

Yu Xin came in from outside with her sleeves covered. It was already cold and she had a white breath when she spoke.
Seeing Yu Guang sitting on the bed reading a book, Yu Xin lifted up the quilt and put her legs in: "It's so cold, but you are so warm."
Out of the corner of his eye, he pushed up his glasses slightly: "Isn't the ground dragon in the shop burning well this year?"
She hasn't been out for a few days, so she doesn't know what's going on outside.
Yu Xin nodded: "I originally promised that coal would be delivered in the next two days, but who knew someone came to deliver a letter today, saying that the road was difficult and it would take a few days at night."
Hearing this, Yu Guang put down the book in his hand: "Has all this year's grain been put into storage?"
Sensing the change in Yu Guang's tone, Yu Xin also became nervous: "The food and grass have been put into the warehouse, but my uncle discovered something wrong."
Yu Guang replied softly: "From today on, the original three meals will become two meals. By the way, someone will bring a message to Hardanbaatar. It should be a cold winter this year, so let him prepare the food and grass for the winter in advance."
Hardanbaatar is a non-stop person. If there is not enough food, he may cause trouble.
The location of the Three Cities is awkward, so naturally people have to be appeased.
As for where to get this food, Hardanbaatar has to figure it out himself.
After receiving the news, Hardanbaatar immediately gathered his confidants together: "Yu Guang said that this year will be a cold winter. Where should we go to find more food and fodder?"
Several confidants looked at each other in confusion. In the end, Sidu, who was closest to Hardanbaatar, was the first to speak: "Khan, how about us."
I saw Sidu making a slitting motion on his throat while talking.
They have been at peace with the Central Plains for too long, and it is time to show off the weapons in their hands.
And it doesn't matter if you can't win, you can still sue for peace, and you will get more good things then.
As for Yu Guang, hehe, the three cities in the North are extremely rich. As long as they catch up with one vote, they will not have to worry about food and drink next year.
It makes me happy just thinking about it.
Hardanbaatar looked at Sidu coldly, and suddenly slapped him away: "Hit the Central Plains, hit the Central Plains, you know that hitting the Central Plains, Yu Guang is not easy to mess with.
You forgot that the Bano tribe robbed a caravan, and all the men of the tribe were hung upside down under the eaves, and no one dared to collect their corpses until they were dried."
Don't think that the woman looks like she is smiling from the corner of your eye, just think that she is really smiling. That woman is a ruthless character who can kill people and set fires with a smile.
He had already inquired that the respect and support Yu Guang gained on the business road was entirely earned by Yu Guang's strength.
Besides, Yu Guang has done them a lot of good in the past few years. If they fall out, their milk and wool will probably rot at home.
Sidu obviously still didn't understand why he was beaten, and he opened his mouth to argue: "I am also doing it for the good of the tribe. Do you know that the Central Plains woman clearly wants to use that little money to corrode our faith and make us no longer brave?"
He was not wrong; Hardanbaatar was too old and had become too cowardly.
As long as they start a war against Yu Guang, they can completely occupy the Silk Road.
At that time, a lot of people making money will become them.
The more Hardanbaatar looked at Sidu, the angrier he became, and he immediately slapped him again: "Shut up, I really doubt that you are a spy sent by Tubo. If you want to beat Yu Guang, just lead the Tibetan soldiers to fight. I
I will not let my own people take you to your death."
He would never forget the scene of the Bano men being hung in a row and swaying on the mast.
Can he now suspect that Sidu has betrayed him?
As Yu Guang expected, it was indeed a cold winter this year. Fortunately, the three cities had abundant coal reserves and successfully weathered the winter.
Although other cities are not having a hard time, in recent years, they have made a lot of money from the fiefdom next to Yu Guang, so it is not a big deal.
This winter in the North, no one was escaping, and no one was freezing to death, so it was good for everyone to silently remember Yu Guang.
In the spring of the next year, the weather became severely drought-like.
In order to appease the people, Emperor Haoxuan directly announced the news that potatoes and sweet potatoes could be produced per unit of 1,000 kilograms.
No matter whether everyone can get grain or not, at least there is hope.
Also announced at the same time was the news of Yu Guang's promotion.
Yu Guang became the Marquis of Changbei from Changbei Bo, and the fiefdoms also changed from three to five.
Emperor Haoxuan divided the two cities next to Ji City and Ze City into fiefdoms for Yu Guang.
On the day they received the order to thank them, Yu Jing and Yu Xin both turned green.
Everyone thought that the Marquis of her family was rich, and even the floor of the Marquis's mansion was made of gold.
But who knew that half of his uncle's money was given to His Majesty, and the other half was used to build the city.
Otherwise, where did the well-planned houses, the spacious and smooth official roads come from, and even the waterways outside the city, none of them were made with money.
Their Marquis just looks good, but when it comes to money, his pocket is cleaner than his face.
Not to mention how much effort they put into building these three cities.
Now that two more cities have been added, I'm afraid they will be exhausted.
Out of the corner of his eye, he held the imperial edict in his hand and turned around to see Yu Xin and Yu Jing with sad faces.
The expressions of the two made her raise the corners of her lips slightly, and then presented the imperial edict to them: "What, don't you like it?"
Yu Jing and the other two subconsciously stepped back: There was no way, they really couldn't laugh.
They don't need to honor their ancestors, so more work means more burdens.
If they really laughed, there might be something seriously wrong with them.
Seeing the repulsive look on the two people's faces, Yu Guang was just about to speak when someone came to report in a hurry: "Master Marquis, there is someone outside asking to see you."
