Lucky Farmer Girl: I rely on metaphysics to support my family

Sure enough, just as Wang was thinking this, she saw Tang Wan nod.

Then Wang said to Manager Hu, "The indentures for these people must be complete and their records clear. The money can be settled with Steward Zhao at the market price."

Shopkeeper Hu beamed with joy and readily agreed.

Once the person was chosen, the next step was to assign tasks and teach them the rules. Fortunately, Steward Zhao was a capable person.

He immediately made the arrangements, and Wang was quite satisfied with them, having no objections.

The front yard, which had been noisy for half a day, gradually quieted down.

Looking at the house, which finally seemed to have some life in it, Madam Wang breathed a long sigh of relief and smiled at Tang Wan, saying, "Thanks to your meticulousness. The ones you picked today all look decent enough. At least it's starting to look presentable."

Tang Wan smiled and said, "I only saw it briefly; it was Mother who truly worked hard. With these people, each doing their job, the affairs of the household can gradually be sorted out."

With the matter settled, Madam Wang was very happy. It was almost time for dinner, so she didn't let Tang Wan and her sister go back.

The next day, the family had just finished breakfast.

Suddenly, hurried footsteps were heard from the front yard. Steward Zhao excitedly announced loudly, "Master! Madam! People from the palace have arrived, carrying an imperial edict. They have reached the gate!"

The entire Tang residence was instantly alarmed.

Tang Bojun walked briskly towards the front hall, subconsciously smoothing his sleeves as he did so.

Wang suppressed her racing heartbeat and quickly instructed Tang Jing and Tang Wan to change their clothes immediately, and also ordered someone to prepare an incense table.

In an instant, the entire Tang family mansion sprang into action.

A moment later, the main gate of the Tang residence opened wide, and the entire family knelt before the incense table.

A pale-faced, beardless, and composed eunuch unfurled a bright yellow scroll, his high-pitched yet clear voice echoing in the silent courtyard:

"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Tang Bojun, former Vice Minister of Works, is loyal, diligent, and astute in his duties. The high-yield new grain harvest has saved countless lives, a truly great achievement. Considering his hard work and appreciating his talent, I hereby order Tang Bojun to be reinstated to his original post, Minister of Works, of the second rank, effective immediately, in charge of all public works, land reclamation, land management, and water conservancy. I hope you will live up to my expectations, work diligently, and achieve even greater success. This decree is hereby issued!"

"Your subject, Tang Bojun, receives the imperial decree and expresses his gratitude! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

Tang Bojun's voice trembled slightly, but his hands were firmly raised as he accepted the heavy imperial edict.

He had waited too long for this moment.

Wang was standing to the side, her eyes already brimming with tears, and Tang Jing was also deeply moved.

Only Tang Wan remained relatively calm, after all, she had already received the news that her father had been reinstated to his original position, but she hadn't expected the imperial edict to arrive so quickly.

The eunuch delivering the imperial decree offered many words of congratulations. Although Tang Bojun was not wearing an official robe, he responded appropriately and presented the thank-you gifts prepared by his family.

The eunuch did not refuse and accepted the Tang family's gift with a smile.

After the angels were seen off and the gates of the mansion were closed, the whole family finally relaxed and were immersed in immense joy.

Tang Bojun tried to appear calm and composed, saying, "Alright, everyone stop crowding around."

However, the fine lines around his eyes were filled with smiles, unable to conceal his inner joy.

He looked at Madam Wang and said with a sigh, "Madam, I'm afraid you'll have to work hard from now on. The regulations and social interactions at the Minister's residence are the same as before, but they're worlds apart from our lives in the northern desert. If there's a shortage of staff at home, we must fill the gaps as soon as possible." Madam Wang nodded, tears still glistening in her eyes, and replied with a smile, "Don't worry, Master, I understand. It's just that I was just talking to Jing'er and Wan'er about how it's easy to find servants, but a reliable steward is hard to come by. Now that you've been reinstated, this matter is even more urgent."

Actually, we've already made up for most of it today, but since the imperial decree has arrived, we'll probably have to find a few more tomorrow.

However, it's not advisable to keep using the steward from the War Prince's Mansion.

Especially now that the master has been reinstated, he needs to keep some distance from the Prince of Zhan's mansion.

Otherwise, having just been reinstated, people might use this information to attack the master.

Tang Bojun understood this as well. They really needed to find a steward as soon as possible. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Those old men who came back with us from the northern desert may not show off, but they are well-known and loyal. Perhaps we can promote one or two of them to temporarily take charge of the stewardship to support the family. Then we can have Steward Zhao examine them carefully to see if they are capable of being stewards. If not, we can only slowly look for a suitable steward."

Upon hearing this, Tang Wan's heart stirred.

Among the old people brought from the northern desert, the five coachmen were not just servants who knew how to drive.

Back when we were in the northern desert, there was a division of labor, but there were few people, so the division was often not very clear.

On the way back to Beijing, because there were many vehicles, we gathered together the people who knew how to drive and selected five skilled drivers.

Two of them might be worth a try.

But there's no rush; we can discuss this with my mother later.

Madam Wang also thought her husband's suggestion was good, and replied with a smile, "My husband's consideration is correct. Our family has just been restored to power, so it's better to use familiar people than unfamiliar ones. It's better to have reliable people take the lead than to rush to find someone from outside whose background we don't know."

At this moment, Tang Wan suddenly spoke up: "Father, the imperial edict mentions 'managing all public works, land reclamation, mountains and lakes, and water conservancy'. Has it been decided that the Ministry of Works will take the lead in promoting new crops?"

Logically, the promotion of new crops should not be under the Ministry of Works' leadership, but the imperial edict stated otherwise.

Tang Bojun straightened his expression and nodded slightly, saying, "The decree is clear, and this matter is naturally the responsibility of the Ministry of Works. As for the specific procedures, I will discuss them with my colleagues after I arrive at the Ministry tomorrow."

Then, he paused, looked out the window, and said in a calm tone, "However, this is a matter that benefits the country and the people, and will benefit future generations. It is also the foundation for our Tang family to return to the court, and we must not fail in this endeavor. From today onwards, our Tang family will once again stand under the watchful eyes of the people of this capital. We must be careful in every word and deed, and we must work together with one heart and one mind."

Everyone should be.

At this moment, in the War King's mansion, upon receiving the news that Tang Bojun had been reinstated, the corners of the War King's mouth slightly turned up.

Regardless, this is still good news.

Just as the War King was considering whether or not to ring a bell for Tang Wan to congratulate her father on his reinstatement.

Zhan Yi suddenly reported: "Your Highness, those who went to Feng Yongnian's manor to gather information have all returned. Feng Yongnian's guards at Qixia Manor in the south have sent back a message saying that there is the kind of situation you specifically emphasized."

Five people were dispatched to investigate the village, but only one of them managed to find out the situation that his lord had described.

However, although the other estates did not have the special circumstances mentioned by the prince, this time they also got a good grasp of the situation of all of Feng Yongnian's estates.

We are ready to act whenever needed.

Upon hearing this, the War King knew that this matter could not be delayed. He no longer needed to consider whether to contact Tang Wan. He decided to wait for news from Feng Yongnian and discuss it together that evening.

Thinking this, the War King's tone became even calmer as he said, "Send someone in to report!" (End of Chapter)
