Chapter 866 869. Merit
Tang Qingdong is now a juren, so naturally no one is forcing him.
But this person has to deal with a lot of human relationships in this world, so he really has to make this trip.
Instead of staying at home and making my parents entertain guests, I might as well go for it so that I can have an explanation when I return.
Let alone other people, he himself was a little curious.
"You are too honest. You are not the first aunt to return home. You should know that those families detained the aunts who returned home in order to avoid trouble."
Gu Lehua immediately understood her implication and happily hugged her mother's hand, "Mom, then you can arrest us too!
It just so happens that I brought my husband and children back home."
Even though she often goes back to her parents' home, the opportunities to stay at home are very rare. This time, she has a good reason and she can't miss it.
Tang Qingdong, "..."
Liu Liu smiled and tapped Gu Lehua's forehead, "You think this is good news, aren't you afraid of implicating you?"
Gu Lehua said, "Mom, I'm not stupid. When I entered the village, everyone had a smile on their face. There were only good things happening here, not bad things.
Besides, with my aunt's experience as a lesson, no matter how stupid I am, I will never rush to seek death."
Although she is a little selfish and self-centered, she is not stupid.
Liu Liu, "…your aunt has done a good thing. Since you know the importance of this matter, then just stay at home."
Also because of Gu Yuanfeng, the married women who came back this time did not hide their purpose in telling others.
To be more secure, the clan leader simply let everyone stay and the villagers went out less often.
But he didn't know that because of his caution, some people were almost going bald.
The isolation of Gaoling Village allowed Jin Qianqian to live a free and easy life.
I don’t think about anything every day. When I have free time, I chat about gossip with my sisters-in-law, or hide in the study to write and draw.
Gu Wenheng's days in Shangjing were not so leisurely, because the noise in Gaoling Village still reached Shangjing.
Many people were very curious. In addition to the family members of Si Nong who were sent out, there were also many people from Gu Wenheng's side who were inquiring for information.
Unfortunately, the emperor had already issued a ban, and no one could say anything until the real harvest came out.
Everyone was watching carefully, and they also noticed that the emperor was in a very good mood these days, and was very friendly in the court, especially towards Lord Gu.
Everyone is dissatisfied. Gu Wenheng was rewarded only because he was favored by the emperor, and he was valued so much. Will he be the only one who has the final say in the court in the future?
Gu Wenheng noticed that many people were rejecting him, but he remained calm and slowly reorganized himself at his own pace.
I don’t know what the retired emperor said to the emperor, but these two emperors were extremely tolerant of me. As long as I proposed a reform, they would implement it no matter how much pressure I put on them.
Gu Wenheng didn't know whether there would be any changes in the future, so he seized the opportunity and made many suggestions.
Because of his actions, everyone's attention shifted away from Gaoling Village and turned to the court.
This was undoubtedly a relief for the king and his two ministers who shared a common secret.
After all, in addition to preventing spying in the court, they also have to guard against spies from outside.
Gu Wenheng is in mourning now. Even though his love was taken away by the emperor, many people are very particular and have not sent invitations to the Gu family for banquets.
Gu Wenheng felt that this was exactly what he wanted, so apart from attending court and the Ministry of Revenue, he stayed at home all the time.
Hua Zhang was extremely pleased when he saw the letters being sent to Beijing.
The conservative number calculated by the Minister of Agriculture who was sent this time was slightly higher than that calculated by the Second Master Gu Wenheng before.
The people here are shrewd and have a bottom line when doing things, so the harvest will definitely be better in the future.
"Father, the harvest is coming soon. Who do you think should be sent?"
If the news is to be released this time, it will have to be a big deal.
"I was thinking of going there in person," Hua Shunming suddenly said to the emperor, which frightened the emperor.
Hua Zhang, "Father, the journey is bumpy, so let's send other ministers!"
Although he wanted to spread the news to the whole world, Hua Zhang did not want to joke with the old emperor's health. If something unexpected happened along the way, it would turn a good thing into a bad one.
Hua Shunming, "I have been taking the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician these days, and they say my health is getting better day by day.
I have basically stayed in the palace all my life, and I also want to see my country and land."
Leaving the palace has almost become Hua Shunming's obsession. Since he learned about the emergence of new crops, he has been full of energy again.
Hua Zhang consulted the imperial physician every day to check the pulse of the retired emperor. His health had indeed improved, but no major action could be taken.
"Let's ask the imperial physician again. If the imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital agree, we can make arrangements then." Hua Zhang did not object directly and threw the problem directly to the Imperial Hospital.
Imperial Hospital: "..."Isn't this neck strong enough? No one dares to touch it with their head?
After receiving the emperor's hint, the Imperial Hospital made a long speech on medical theories. Just when the two emperors were stunned and ready to lose their temper, they said, "No."
Hua Shunming grabbed the teacup beside him and threw it over, "Get lost..."
These damn bitter medicines he has been taking these days, don’t they have any effect at all?
"Please keep your heart happy, Your Majesty..."
"Pleased? I can't be pleased when I see you now. Get out, all of you."
This time, even Hua Zhang didn't dare to stay any longer, "Your Highness, I remember that there are still some memorials that have not been approved. Please take care of yourself, Father."
…
They all ran away quickly, leaving Le San behind, "..." You guys started the fire, so he has to clean it up.
Hua Zhang didn't dare to discuss the matter with the emperor again, so he directly assigned Yu Ligao and Xiao Liwei to transport the seeds back.
It was at this time that the news that had been kept secret was revealed.
Everyone looked at Gu Wenheng with even more obscure eyes. This was simply an enormous achievement. Was Gu Wenheng leaving no way out for these court officials?
The emperor already thinks highly of him, and after this incident, who can touch him in the future?
Gu Wenheng smiled back at everyone's gaze.
Although everyone felt a little annoyed by his expression, no one went up to him and made things uncomfortable.
When things are at a critical juncture, who will be the first to step forward?
What everyone is more concerned about now is the grain seeds that are about to be shipped back. The credit can no longer be taken, but we can still fight for the grain seeds.
Every family owns one or two farms. If one can get some in the first batch, the income from the farms will double in at least the next one or two years.
As soon as Gu Wenheng came down from court, he was surrounded by everyone enthusiastically.
"Lord Gu, the weather looks good today. Let's sit down together and discuss the newly issued decrees." Li Laifu, who took over the Ministry of Justice, rubbed his hands and was elected by everyone to speak first.
Then, several others nodded at the same time, "Yes, there are still some things I don't understand that I would like to ask for your advice."
