Chapter 642 More Sincerity

Some of them rode horses, some sat in sedan chairs, and they were accompanied by soldiers as guards, while County Magistrate Yang led the way.

When they reached the gate of Feng's house, the team stopped, and several officials came out of the carriage to salute Feng Yichen.

After Feng Yichen returned the gift, Master Zhou, the Minister of Rites, took out the imperial decree, "General Feng accepts the decree."

This imperial decree was for Feng Yichen, but once the imperial decree came out, how could the people present not kneel, if some people didn't understand, County Magistrate Yang also signaled everyone to kneel down.

The imperial decree also mentioned the matter of Feng Yichen's achievements in leading the officials and the people to prevent and control floods, and then mentioned the matter of corn, and finally mentioned the matter of his return to Beijing.

After reading the imperial decree, Mr. Zhou said congratulations, Feng Yichen nodded slightly in return.

As for the meritorious commendation of Qingyang County officials and soldiers of the military camp, it was only a verbal order, and the subsequent rewards were given together.

Although County Magistrate Yang didn't get promoted, he mentioned that His Majesty would give instructions later, which meant that he had a high possibility of being promoted in the future.

After dealing with the affairs of Feng's house, a group of officials was led by Feng Yichen to Bai's house.

The officials of the household department paid great attention to the yellow and orange corn while walking.

"General Feng, is this the corn used by the Holy Majesty?"

"Exactly." Feng Yichen only replied two words, couldn't he see it?

The emperor sent him here, it is impossible for him not to know the general shape of the corn, so it is unnecessary to ask.

The officials of the household department hit a cold nail, and then compared it with sorghum, carefully estimating the yield of corn fields, which seemed to be at least two or three times more than sorghum.

If corn can be planted in Dazhou next year, then the Ministry of Households will not have to worry about the food problem of the treasury.

With this in mind, I arrived at the Bai family. The court officials stood in line according to their grades, and there was no need for anyone to arrange them to stand naturally and systematically.

After them came Bai Shixiao's family, and after them came the people of Shili Lindi.

At this time it was the turn of the household officials to read out the imperial decree. It was a white and fat old man in his 50s, holding a bright yellow imperial decree. Everyone had the experience of the Feng family and knelt down when they saw it.

The writing of the imperial decree is not quite the same as the usual speech. The words are very rhythmic. Bai Xi doesn't need to understand each word. Before reading it, she can guess the general meaning.

This imperial decree is much more sincere than giving her a marriage and making her father Chang Geng Bo.

The general idea is that his father has made great achievements in water control and planted corn to benefit the country. The key point is that he gave 500 taels of gold and exempted her family from corvee and taxation. into the house.

Everyone took a breath when they heard this, and they all envied the Bai family, together with many officials.

Bai Shixiao was taken aback when he heard it, and the husband and wife asked Bai Xi quietly to understand what the imperial decree meant.

He will still have 20 taels of monthly money in the future, which is five taels more than the elder brother's official money.

The 500 taels of gold will never be used up in his family's lifetime, and the family's tax is also exempted. From now on, the food from the farm will be his own.

The House of Farming and Reading is very precious, and having this plaque will also benefit Goro and Xiaoliu's future.

Bai Shixiao hadn't thought of how to use the mansion in the capital, and it might be able to pay a lot of money, but he also thought that the mansion bestowed by the emperor would naturally not be sold.

It's good to keep it, anyway, you don't need to feed the house, and it will be useful in case your son gets admitted to the capital and becomes an official.

Mrs. Xie knelt at the back and pinched the gold ingot, and she said a good marriage to her son.
