A true dragon emperor who is destined by heaven has refuted all the previous rumors.
If he is not the true dragon emperor, how could God give him offspring?
When the people heard that the good seed could produce 1,000 kilograms per mu, they couldn't help but get excited.
Some people even ran to the door and knelt down to thank God and the emperor.
I only hope that next year, after the royal family grows corn, they can let everyone in each prefecture plant it.
The emperor did not deliberately hide the existence of the Taoist priest. After all, there was nothing to be afraid of about a person who was no longer in this world.
It can also deepen the credibility of the God-given good breed.
Therefore, the story of an old immortal in Xiaxixi Village also spread in Daliang.
Gradually, many people from other places came to burn incense.
Four days later, several carriages drove into the capital.
Mo Qingling received the news and went to the city gate to pick people up in person.
He looked at Xiao Hanzheng and smiled: "You are here."
He invited again, "I have a courtyard in the capital. When you are in the capital, you can stay at my place first."
Just as Xiao Hanzheng was about to speak, Hou Lao, who got off the carriage behind him, spoke first, "I also have a yard in the capital, they can go and live with me."
He is Xiao Hanzheng's teacher, so of course his students have to live with him when they come to the capital.
He added, "By the way, I want to introduce some old friends and his three senior brothers to Jin Yu, so that he can meet them."
When Mo Qingling heard this, he knew that this was Mr. Hou's way of expanding Xiao Hanzheng's network.
He smiled and said, "It would be best if Jinyu went to Hou's home."
Fei Congjun, who originally wanted to invite Xiao Hanzheng and his wife to the Fei family, stopped talking about it after hearing what they said.
Mo Qingling thought for a moment and said, "You guys go to the old man's house to freshen up, then follow me into the palace to pay respect to His Majesty."
Xiao Hanzheng bowed to Mo Qingling, "Okay, thank you for your help, Shaoqing!"
Fei Congjun returned to the Fei family, while Xiao Hanzheng and his wife went to Mr. Hou's residence in the capital.
Mr. Hou's wife has passed away. He has a son and two daughters.
His son was a governor in another place, and he brought his family with him.
Both daughters have already married.
Therefore, the house in Kyoto was guarded by only a few servants.
Mr. Hou asked the housekeeper to arrange for Xiao Hanzheng and his wife to live in the guest courtyard next to the main courtyard, which also showed a kind of respect.
Xiao Hanzheng and Mo Qingling washed up and followed them into the palace.
Because he had been informed in advance, he was able to meet the emperor smoothly.
The emperor is in the Qinzheng Hall.
This is equivalent to the emperor's study.
After entering the door, the three of them immediately saluted.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
The emperor put down the memorial in his hand and looked up at Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo.
Both of them are good-looking and have outstanding temperament.
If you don’t know, you might think they are young masters or young ladies from some noble family.
However, the emperor was not surprised. Firstly, he had spies in Nanxi County, and secondly, he felt that Xiao Hanzheng and his wife, who had caused so much trouble, could not be too ordinary.
Otherwise he will be disappointed.
He raised his hand, "Stand up!"
He smiled and looked at Shi Qingluo and asked, "I have received your master's kindness. I will send someone to burn incense for your master on my behalf."
Shi Qingluo was a modern soul, so he was not nervous when he saw the emperor.
She smiled slightly, bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The emperor thought that he was worthy of being the disciple trained by the old Taoist priest, and was indeed extraordinary.
His face was gentle. "After the God-given high-quality corn is planted in Daliang, it can fill the stomachs of most people. This is a great achievement."
These past two days he had been thinking about what reward to give to the two of them, but he couldn't make up his mind.
The emperor had a relatively good impression of Xiao Hanzheng and his wife.
The things that are tinkered with benefit the country and the people, such as cement and corn.
The most important thing is that this gift from heaven came just in time and helped him resolve the trouble caused by those rumors.
If the reward is too high, it will be too eye-catching.
The emperor knew very well that behind glory lurked danger.
He had read the policy paper of Xiao Hanzheng sent by his spy and felt that he was a talented person whom he wanted to train for his own use.
Now there are some irreconcilable contradictions between the aristocratic families and the imperial power. The emperor wants to promote a group of officials from humble backgrounds in order to break some of the monopolies of the aristocratic families and suppress the aristocratic families.
If the reward was too high, Xiao Hanzheng would definitely be suppressed by the aristocratic families.
Xiao Hanzheng was obviously too weak now, and his resistance was limited. This was not what he wanted to see.
But if the reward is too ordinary, it would seem that he does not value the good seeds given by God.
So this reward made him very embarrassed.
In the end, it was his niece who came up with an idea and asked him to ask Xiao Hanzheng and his wife what he wanted.
He thought this was a good idea. As long as it was within his bottom line and satisfied both of them, it didn't matter.
It's a good opportunity to try out what choices the two will make after suddenly getting such a great opportunity, and whether it will be necessary for him to reuse Xiao Hanzheng in the future.
Shi Qingluo was a little surprised that the emperor asked this, but he didn't care.
She smiled calmly and replied, "This is the heaven-sent seed that Master prepared for the Emperor. I just planted it to fulfill Master's wish, so it can't be considered a great achievement."
The emperor said firmly: "Although your master has made the greatest contribution, you have also made an indelible contribution. I allow you and your wife to both ask for a reward."
After hearing what he said, Shi Qingluo stopped being polite.
"Then can the emperor reward me with a manor in the mountains outside the capital?"
In the future, when the young master passes the imperial examination or becomes an official, they will definitely come to the capital to live.
The villas surrounded by mountains in the suburbs of Beijing are not only expensive, but also impossible to buy without some power.
So it would be better for her to use it to ask for rewards. Even if she gets the benefit, the emperor will not think she is generous.
The emperor was stunned for a moment, "You just want a manor with a mountain?"
This request is too simple.
This disciple of the old immortal is not a greedy person, which is very good!
Shi Qingluo thought about it again and said tentatively: "It would be even better if we could bring hot springs."
You can soak in hot springs in the hot spring village in autumn and winter, and you can also plant some vegetables and fruits around it so that you can eat fresh vegetables in winter.
The emperor laughed and said, "Okay, then I will reward you with a manor with hot springs and mountains."
I had heard before that Xiao Hanzheng's wife liked mountains, but I didn't expect it to be true.
This request was too low, so he planned to send someone to the outskirts of Beijing to select a large mountain villa with hot springs as a reward to Shi Qingluo.
Then he looked at Xiao Hanzheng and asked, "What reward do you want?"
Xiao Hanzheng could see that the emperor was determined to reward them, and of course he also wanted to test him.
So I didn't act pretentiously. I thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, can I look through the examination papers of the imperial examinations in recent years?"
The emperor was stunned again. "You want to see the examination papers of recent years. Is it to prepare for the next imperial examination?"
Xiao Hanzheng said truthfully: "This is one aspect. On the other hand, I want to compile a test question book myself according to the test questions on the test paper."
The emperor asked in confusion: "Exam question book?"
Xiao Hanzheng explained, "Based on the general type and content of the exam questions every year, we imitated and came up with some similar questions."
Then he expressed the ideas that his young wife had instilled in him in a way that the emperor could accept.
Shi Qingluo listened to the conversation from the side and his eyes lit up. So is the ancient version of "five years of simulation and three years of college entrance examination" about to be born?
I just came back to write one chapter, then went to eat and sleep for a while before continuing to write. The remaining three chapters will be around 18:00~~ (End of this chapter)
