Nongmen Fu girl group’s daily favorites

It took Shen Jia and others three days to plant the sweet potatoes. By this time, some of the corn was already mature.

Shen Jia broke off a few tender corns, peeled them and tasted the slightly sweet taste. She asked someone to buy a rack of ribs, cut a stick of corn into four sections, and made ribs and corn soup.

The master of the family was given two pieces each, and the servants were given one piece. The corn on the hillside could no longer be eaten and had to be kept for seed.

"Wow! Sister, this corn is so delicious. I still want to eat it. What should I do?" snack foodie Shen An's mouth was like a little hamster, waving his cheeks and saying vaguely.

"Yeah! Yeah! It's tender and sweet, and it's as delicious as tomatoes. I really want to eat it again." Shen Yun looked at Shen Jia longingly with his big wet eyes.

"Sister Shen, Yu'er also thinks corn is delicious!" Guo Mingyu also said in a low voice.

"Yun'er, An'er, Yu'er, the corn on the hillside must be kept as seeds and cannot be eaten anymore. I only have two pieces of corn here. Which of you wants it?" Mrs. Gu ate her meal first and then drank the soup, so her corn Haven't moved yet.

The three little ones looked at me and I looked at you, shaking their heads at the same time: "We don't want it."

Shen Jia's eyebrows were filled with smiles, and she touched their heads: "After harvesting the first few batches of corn, and there are some that are not so full at the back, my sister will pick them all and cook them for you to eat. Okay?"

"Okay! Thank you sister (Sister Shen)!" The third little one came over and hugged Shen Jia and said with a smile.

Xiao Yichen's eyes flashed, and a picture flashed in his mind, him and her, and their children, her sweet smile, the children's crisp laughter...

Xiao Yichen shook his head and put aside the fantasies in his mind, looking at them with a smile.

In the next few days, in addition to going to the fields to watch the growth of sweet potatoes, they also paid close attention to the maturity of corn.

After the corns were all mature, Shen Jia and Xiao Yichen led the others to break them off and dry them, and then led everyone in the family to peel them into corn kernels.

Shen Zhuoyun took out the scale at home and weighed all the corn. Xiao Yichen watched intently from the side.

"Your Highness, the two acres of corn total more than 1,500 kilograms, and the yield is half that of rice. Moreover, corn is resistant to barrenness and drought..." Shen Zhuoyun's voice trembled with excitement.

"Okay! Uncle Shen, I will report this matter to Grandpa Huang immediately. Don't worry, Grandpa Huang will not treat you badly." Xiao Yichen was also very excited. He wanted to tell Grandpa Huang the good news immediately.

Capital

Emperor Jingwen has been so annoyed by the ministers in the past few days that his hair has turned a lot gray. If nothing else, the paper mill and printing plant will be put into production after they are built. Emperor Jingwen appointed Chen Huahua, the director of the paper mill, with the rank of fifth grade. Gu Yan is the director of the printing factory and is also in the fifth grade. The workers who fish for paper in the paper mill and the engraving workers in the printing factory are in the eighth grade.

As soon as this news came out, people in the court, such as Zhen Guogong and Jiang Shoufu, strongly opposed it. They said that those who had studied hard for more than ten years to participate in the official imperial examination and who were born in Jinshi were only eighth-rank officials. Why should those lowly people Craftsmen could also get eighth-grade official positions, and several censors even tried to fight against the pillars to ask Emperor Jingwen to take back their orders.

Of course Emperor Jingwen didn't want to! The two sides were at a stalemate.

"Gugu!" Xiaobai came here a few times and Emperor Jingwen was already very familiar with him, so he flew directly onto his arm.

Emperor Jingwen's eyes lit up and he signaled Fulu to retreat to everyone.

Emperor Jingwen smoothed Xiaobai's feathers and then took off the note tied to Xiaobai's leg. When he saw that the corn yield per mu was 750 kilograms, Emperor Jingwen stood up excitedly: "Okay. ! Okay! Okay!" When he saw the writing on the back asking him not to grant them a marriage for the time being, he felt a little confused.

Emperor Jingwen immediately replied a letter to Xiao Yichen. "Fulu, bring two blank imperial edicts and serve them with pen and ink." Emperor Jingwen swept away the haze just now and said loudly.

"Blank imperial edict?" Fulu couldn't react.

"Yes! You old man, are you deaf?" Emperor Jingwen teased.

Fulu rubbed the back of his head and smiled: "Your Majesty, don't blame me for not reacting. It's really the news that scared me. Your Majesty, what are you doing?"

Emperor Jingwen glanced at Fulu and said, "Shen Zhuoyun has grown a corn yield of 750 kilograms per mu. I will make him the Protector of the Country and Shen Jia the Protector of the Country."

Fulu's eyes widened in shock and he whispered: "Your Majesty, is this reward too heavy? Then the ministers in the court will make trouble again."

Emperor Jingwen glanced at Fulu. He was so frightened that Fulu knelt on the ground and immediately raised his palm to slap his own mouth: "You deserve to die! You should not overstep your bounds!"

"Get up! You are doing it for my own good, I don't blame you." Emperor Jingwen said softly.

Fulu was so moved that his eyes turned red.

Emperor Jingwen gave him a disgusted look: "Look at what you're doing, don't say you're my eunuch when you go out."

Fulu pressed the corner of his eyes with the handkerchief: "I am so touched!"

"Okay, hurry up and get the blank imperial edict." Emperor Jingwen laughed and scolded.

Fulu bowed and stepped back, and quickly took the blank imperial decree.

"One acre of good paddy field can harvest more than 300 kilograms of rice at most, while one acre of barren dry land can harvest more than 700 kilograms of corn. This can solve the food and clothing problem of many people. Even without the sweet potatoes behind, Shen Zhuoyun can afford it. This protector of the country, not to mention the yield of one or two thousand kilograms of sweet potatoes per acre.

Needless to say, the little girl of the Shen family saved many lives from the Lingnan plague last time. She deserves to be the protector of the country. I will also give her three counties of fiefdom. These two imperial edicts should not be disclosed to the outside world for the time being, and they will not be disclosed until Shen Zhuoyun comes to Beijing. Emperor Jingwen said calmly.

Fu Lu didn't know how to describe his mood at this moment. Normally, imperial edicts were written by the Hanlin Academy or the cabinet. Today, both imperial edicts were actually written by the emperor's imperial pen. This kind of grace is universal. There is only the Protector. No, it should be said that they are the Protector and his daughter who have benefited from His Highness King Chen.

Emperor Jingwen was in a very happy mood at this moment. Since the Shen family has grown corn, they will definitely be able to grow sweet potatoes. By promoting these high-yielding grain varieties, people all over the world can avoid hunger.

If there is food, there will be people, and if there are people, the country will be strong. If you don't get a title from the Shen family for such a huge contribution, what are you waiting for?

Besides, he didn't tell the world immediately. They still had a lot of time to prepare. When the time comes, the Shen family will have people, money, and titles, so they won't be hampered by anything when they return to the capital.

After they return to the capital, he can meet the little girl whom Chen'er is protecting and marry them. After they get married, he can bring up his great-grandson.

The more Emperor Jingwen thought about it, the more beautiful it became in his heart. The fonts on the imperial edict were vigorous and powerful.

After Emperor Jingwen wrote the imperial edict, he wrote a secret letter to the Shadow Guard.

The next day, Su Hao, the Minister of Household Affairs, resigned and returned to his hometown due to physical discomfort. Since then, his whereabouts have not been known.
