After the two adults, Guo Mi, were released, they knew that it was the queen who had begged for them, and they all kowtowed towards the palace to thank them.
Especially Mr. Guo, he has secretly discussed the queen's handling of government affairs against ethics more than once, but when he was in trouble, it was the queen he hated in every possible way who saved his family's lives!
With this thought in mind, Mr. Guo knocked his head hard three times on the ground. When he raised his head again, there was blood oozing out from his forehead.
Neither family dared to stay longer in the capital. They each dismissed their servants and immediately returned to their hometowns. Mi Zhengtao's hometown was in Jiangnan, nearly a thousand miles away from the capital. Because his home was ransacked, it took a lot of trouble to return to his hometown.
On the second day after returning home, a guest came to the house.
"Lord Mi, I'm Xue Yin, the personal bodyguard of the Duke of Zhen. I'm here to give you something on the Duke's order."
As he spoke, he took out a letter from his body and handed it over. A look of understanding appeared in Mi Zhengtao's eyes. Then he took the letter with both hands, opened the envelope, and read the contents of the letter again and again. His pale face suddenly suddenly
He got angry and said, "Brother Xue, I have troubled you to make this trip. I, Mi Zhengtao, recognized that master in my heart as early as the moment I got out of prison. I will do my best to fulfill the master's instructions."
Xue Yin nodded, then took out a small box from his arms and pushed it in the direction of Mr. Mi, "You should keep these first, you will need them for the next thing, and the grain seeds have been shipped here, but
We will arrive a day later, and I will send it to your door, sir. The instructions for raising seedlings are all in the letter. Please take care of yourself, sir. I will take my leave now."
Mi Zhengtao hurriedly persuaded him to stay, and Xue Yin said: "I have to go to Wuzhou. I can't delay the planting in the fields."
Mi Zhengtao understood that the Guo family was in Wuzhou, and he could get there in a day and night by riding a horse. So, without further ado, he handed over the letter he wrote last night to Xue Yin, "Brother Xue, please be kind to me."
Please put this letter into the hands of the empress, she should be able to use it."
Xue Yin nodded solemnly, then carefully put the things in his arms and left.
After he left, Mi Zhengtao's eldest son asked: "Father, does the empress have any instructions?"
Mi Zhengtao opened the box, and as expected, there was a stack of banknotes inside. He counted them and found that they were no more than five thousand taels, and they were all small-denomination banknotes, which was convenient to use.
He took out part of the banknote and gave it to the eldest son, "You immediately go to the city to find a middleman to buy some fertile land, and by the way, buy some servants who can work when you come back. The summer harvest is coming soon. After the food in the fields is harvested, all the food in the fields must be planted."
The seeds and planting methods sent are all in this letter. Remember, you must follow the requirements here."
Young Master Mi respectfully said, "Don't worry, father. My son will go to the city right now and buy an ox cart. Our family will focus on farming from now on, and oxen are indispensable for farming. With an ox cart, it will be easier to get into the city."
When I returned to the village yesterday, I had nothing. I wanted to borrow some things from the villagers, but they all avoided them one by one, not to mention borrowing things. They almost treated their family as plague gods.
It's better now. In just one night, people came to the Zhenguogong's house and brought so many banknotes. Not to mention other things, at least the future life will not be difficult.
And he had a vague feeling that with the Queen's secret help, his family would probably return to the capital one day!
Mr. Mi nodded: "We are now cultivating the land according to the order, and we cannot be careless."
The imperial examination is so difficult. He easily won the second place in the imperial examination at the age of twenty-two. He was just farming. I don't believe it could be more difficult than the second place in the imperial examination!
Two days later, Mr. Guo's family, who returned to Wuzhou, also received banknotes and letters from Xue Yin, as well as some potato seeds.
Ning Yue said that there was a purpose for letting them return to their hometown to farm. So many high-yielding grains could not be provided by the Jiang family. It happened that something happened to the two adults Guo Mi, so they simply left the cultivation of potatoes and sweet potatoes to them.
The two of them will be able to return to their posts as officials in the capital with this merit in the future.
…
Xuanyuan Hao's three-month period of self-imposed confinement has long passed, and he has naturally resumed attending morning court with Ning Yue. After all, Qin Tianjian said that the Queen wanted him, so he did not let Ning Yue go offline for the time being.
Ning Yue took out the sachet without any peculiar smell every day without any psychological burden, and let Xuanyuan Hao inhale it to his heart's content. The pills in this sachet were the medicinal materials in the space that she used after communicating with the doctors at the Imperial Hospital.
, specially made, its main function is to relieve people's emotions and relax the whole body. Smell less and it will not have any impact on the body. At most, it will make you a little sleepy.
If you smell it too much, your brain will always want to enter a state of idleness, that is, your brain will not want to work and will always want to go on strike. The effects of Ning Yue You Lingquan Water can be cured by drinking two sips of Lingquan Water, but Xuanyuan Hao's
No, as time went by, he became less and less interested in government affairs, and only hung around Su Linglong's belly all day long.
In the morning, Da Sinong reported on the plow newly developed by the craftsmen. The plows used by the common people in the past were too laborious and the depth of plowing was limited. However, the improved plow is much deeper and can be pulled by an ordinary strong laborer.
, which is very suitable for families who cannot afford to buy cattle.
Soon the drawings of the new plows were distributed to craftsmen from various states. A large number of new plows appeared on the market, and the prices of the plows were within the acceptable range of the people. Some people used the new plows during the summer planting season, and the results were great.
gratifying.
Su Linglong relied on the child in her belly to act like a monster in the palace from time to time. She forced several low-ranking concubines out of the palace, but fortunately, those concubines saved their lives.
As a result, everyone in the palace is in danger.
This is obviously the emperor's acquiescence to Zhen Zhaoyi's approach, which means that the news that the emperor wants to dismiss the harem is not false.
Concubine De took Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian into Kunning Palace. At that time, Ning Yue had just finished dinner. When she saw the three people coming, she immediately ordered fresh fruits and a fruit ice bowl for each person.
"The weather is hot and muggy, eating this can at least relieve the heat."
Qin Xin brought over the freshly made fruit ice, and a few people picked up the bowls and ate them politely, "It's really strange. They are obviously the same thing, but the ones from the Queen's Palace are particularly delicious."
"Then you can come if you want to eat. I can still take care of some food."
After eating the ice bowl, Concubine De first talked about the purpose of her visit, "Mother, Su Linglong relies on the child in her belly and no one cares about it anymore. If she continues to toss like this, she won't be able to do it without the emperor's order."
I can dispatch this entire harem myself."
Ning Yue raised her eyes and glanced at Concubine De, "You also know that she is pregnant with a dragon seed in her belly. The emperor has regarded her as an eyeball. Not to mention dismissing several concubines, she wants my position tomorrow.
