"good!"

Then the three Yuan brothers left the study and began to send people to contact the Yuan family's former students and officials.

Upon returning to the Cao residence, Cao Song, like Yuan Feng, contacted those on good terms with the Cao family and made preparations.

next day

Inside the Chongde Hall, officials gathered, all standing quietly in their places, awaiting the arrival of the emperor.

"His Majesty is holding court!"

With a loud shout from Zhang Rang, Liu Hong appeared before the officials. However, to their surprise, Jian Shuo was carrying a plow and following behind the emperor.

"Your Majesty, we, your humble servants, pay our respects!"

"Gentlemen, you may dispense with the formalities!"

"Jian Shuo, place it inside the hall so that all the officials can see this plow!"

"promise!"

Upon receiving the emperor's signal, Jian Shuo, carrying a plow and facing the questioning gazes of the officials, gently placed the curved plow in the center of the hall.

The officials looked at the new and exquisite plow and discussed it among themselves.

"Quiet!"

Hearing the officials' discussions, Chen Fan, who was standing at the head of the table, couldn't help but rebuke them. Immediately, everyone stopped talking and stood there quietly without uttering a word.

Once the officials had quieted down, Liu Hong looked at Cao Song and said, "Grand Minister of Agriculture!"

"Your subject is here!"

"Gentlemen, tell me about this curved plow!"

"promise!"

Cao Song then loudly and in detail explained the effects of the curved plow to the civil and military officials in the hall.

"The Research and Manufacturing Division is truly skilled! How could they create such a divine object?"

"Indeed! With such a divine object, the strength of our Great Han Dynasty will surely rise ever higher!"

"Your Majesty, we offer our congratulations! We offer our congratulations to the Great Han Dynasty!"

Just like Chen Fan and others yesterday, the civil and military officials in the court were also incredulous at this moment. Soon, everyone blushed and excitedly congratulated Liu Hong.

"Hehe~ I celebrate with all my ministers!"

Liu Hong, sitting on the throne, also enjoyed the excitement brought by the curved plow along with his officials.

"Your Majesty, I believe that the people of the Research and Development Bureau have accomplished a feat akin to opening up new territories by developing this divine plow. The person who made the greatest contribution should be ennobled as a reward!"

Just as the officials were celebrating, a voice reached their ears, and they immediately fell silent, all looking at the speaker with complicated expressions.

Liu Hong, sitting on the throne, couldn't help but look at this person. He recognized him as the one Yuan Feng had recommended not long ago.

"What does the Grand Tutor think?"

Liu Hong glanced at Yuan Feng casually, nodded to himself, and then looked at Chen Fan to ask for his opinion.

Chen Fan stepped forward and said, "I believe that what Li Yilang said is reasonable, and great merit deserves a great reward!"

"I second that proposal!"

Chen Fan slid down, and Yuan Feng also stood up to express his agreement.

"I second that proposal!"

Then Hu Guang, Cao Song, Dou Wu, Yang Qiu, and others, along with their former students and officials whom they had contacted the day before, stepped forward, making up almost half of the people in the court.

"We second that proposal!"

Seeing that several high-ranking officials and most of their colleagues agreed, and that the emperor seemed to share the same idea, the remaining civil and military officials dared not raise any objections and all expressed their agreement.
