Space peasant girl: madly criticizing Xianggong for being weak and bullying

Chapter 294 The Palace Reward
He glanced at Xiaoxiao again: "How did Shen Aiqing think of letting a farmer grow this kind of rice?"

County Magistrate Shen bent over: "I dare not lie to Your Majesty. In fact, after meeting Mr. Yuan, I didn't believe the new rice variety, because the yield was a fantasy, so I just took it as a joke." , did not tell others to listen to."

The emperor expressed his understanding, if the things hadn't been delivered to him, and there were actual records and the third prince Rong Yan guaranteed that he saw it with his own eyes, he wouldn't believe it either.

County magistrate Shen said again: "It just so happened that the Ning family had just split up, and life was relatively difficult. Other families had already planted rice, but their family hadn't got all the rice seeds, so I gave the seeds to her. "

Speaking of this, he coughed slightly in embarrassment: "At that time, I wanted to tease the child's heart, so I told the child the story of the new rice seed. I never thought that she took it seriously. Gathered the rice seeds and secretly exchanged them."

The emperor was in a bad mood at first, but when he heard this, his expression became a little more relaxed: "That's really a mistake."

After being taught by Dean Lu, County Magistrate Shen now understands the way to be an official, and if he should flatter, he should flatter, so he said sincerely: "It should be God's will in the dark, and God is protecting me in Daxia."

The emperor's brows were completely loosened. He looked at County Magistrate Shen and then at Xiaoxiao. He really didn't understand how these two seemingly unrelated people could have friendship, so he asked.

County magistrate Shen said honestly: "Because she has good cooking skills, the dog has a good appetite, so I bought Ning's pickles at the market, and we have become friends since then."

Nine points are true and one point is false, so what you say is more seamless.

In fact, the emperor had checked it a long time ago, and compared the information submitted, there was no doubt.

The rice seeds were given by others, so Shen Congyun didn't have the cultivation process, let alone how to research this new rice seed.

At first I didn't believe it, so I neither told others nor reported it to the court until I found a pleasant surprise.

It sounds reasonable, but the only pity is that Ning's family was allowed to plant new rice seeds in the middle field because he didn't pay attention to it, otherwise there would be many more seeds.

The emperor asked expectantly: "That Mr. Yuan, has he ever appeared again?"

County magistrate Shen shook his head: "Since the first meeting, I have never met him again, and I have searched for him afterwards, but there is no gain."

"I thought, maybe he doesn't want to be disturbed, so I let it go."

"In short, this rice seed has been obtained. As long as the replanted rice is still high-yielding, even if you don't look for Mr. Yuan, within three years, there will be no people in Daxia who can't eat enough!"

The emperor slapped the dragon case: "Okay, what a 'no more hungry people'! If this wish comes true, Shen Aiqing will win the first prize!"

Eunuch De, who was accompanying him, let out a breath, and His Majesty finally relaxed his brows.

After chatting about rice seeds, the emperor noticed the quiet girl next to Magistrate Shen: "Is this the Ning family that Shen Aiqing mentioned?"

County magistrate Shen said: "Exactly, the eldest son of the Ning family is preparing for the courtyard examination, and the others want to continue to help serve Qiu Dao, so let the daughter come to Beijing as a representative to accompany the minister."

The emperor didn't care about the Ning family letting a girl into the palace, but asked: "Your family has made great achievements in rice farming, what reward do you want?"

Xiaoxiao thought for a while, and finally answered: "Silver?"

The emperor was taken aback for a moment, then laughed loudly: "You girl is really sincere."

He has seen all kinds of people begging for rewards, and he has also seen hypocritical faces pretending to be noble. It is really the first time for someone like her to make such a straightforward request.

County magistrate Shen was sweating for Xiaoxiao, but she didn't know that she had already known from the envoy's reminder that the people His Majesty disdains to put on airs the most, and the ones favored by him recently are also straight ministers.

The emperor asked again: "Is there nothing else you want besides silver?"

When he said this, no one saw the coldness flashing in his eyes.

Xiaoxiao pretended to be in deep thought, and then said, "Field?"

County magistrate Shen's heart was in his throat, hey girl Ning, if you really dare to answer your majesty's question, it's fine if you answer it, and you still want to increase it?

The emperor smiled again: "Are you sure that's all you need?"

Xiaoxiao respectfully said: "Return to Your Majesty, yes, my family is a farmer, so the reward I can think of is to have land and money."

The emperor held his chin: "I heard that there is an elder brother in your family who is studying, why don't you ask for something for him?"

Xiaoxiao also said in a childish voice: "But you have to study by yourself, and you have to take the exam for fame. There is nothing to ask for. It's better to eat and drink enough."

……

A few days later, the official office of Fuyuan Village received an order from the capital, granting the Ning family a hundred acres of fertile land and a hundred taels of gold.

In the capital city, this reward might not sound like much, but in Fuyuan Village, it was a first-of-its-kind experience. However, after this decree came down, the Ning family still encountered difficulties, where to put the hundred acres of fertile land.

After all, Fuyuan Village is only a small place. It's not that a hundred acres of fertile land can't be made up, but it must be cropped here and there, and they can't be connected together.

The historian who reported the letter brought a letter to Ning Fengnian, in which Xiaoxiao proposed to buy a house in the county seat, so that his brother would not have to run back and forth to study in the future.

The reason in the second half was so convincing that Ning Fengnian agreed without thinking for a long time. After all, it was really hard work to watch his son get up early and rush on the road at night every day. Chen Kuan and Wang He, who had cooperated before, also made an appointment to plant the hundred acres of fertile land for him.

Ning Fengnian never dreamed that he would become a big landlord one day, and he woke up several times with a smile, and couldn't help feeling: "Xiaoxiao is really a nobleman of our Ning family."

It's just that this "noble man" daughter has been away for many days, when will she come back?

Because he knew that the capital city was far away and this trip was very important, Ning Ansheng made plans that she would not come back in time before the exam, so he was not disappointed. If he wanted to leave less in the future, he had to work harder today.

Under the careful care of his family and the patient teaching of his teacher, Ning Ansheng was thirsty for knowledge, humble and foolish, resting on the classics, never letting go of the book, but he did not forget to ensure enough rest. From time to time, when his eyes were sore, he would take care of his younger sister. Take care of those flowers she planted in the yard.

At this time, Xiaoxiao was going shopping under the enthusiastic guidance of the Shen family.

The capital city is truly prosperous, and its bustle makes Xiaoxiao want to buy a shop and open a shop every minute.

His Majesty hadn't thought about the reward of County Magistrate Shen, and he had a whim to ask County Magistrate Shen to come into the palace every day to teach him how to farm.

The emperor had spoken, and County Magistrate Shen had no choice but to bite the bullet, so Xiaoxiao could only live in Shen's house for a while longer.

Most of the Shen family welcomed Xiaoxiao, especially after she made dim sum for everyone, except for one girl who liked to wear yellow clothes.

The girl's surname is Gu, and the Gu family and the Shen family are family friends, so the children of the two families often play together. When Xiaoxiao found out that others were robbing her of the Yunduo Cake, only this girl was eating the snacks brought by her family with a full face. Angry, Xiaoxiao went to ask, but the girl snorted coldly and turned her head away.
