He immediately made no attempt to conceal anything, saying, "It is now February, and the people are not only rebuilding their homes but also busy with spring plowing."
After this busy period, there will be a labor service in April, which will last for about half a month.
A second round will be held in October, lasting a month and a half.
Upon hearing this, Chi Qiao remembered her sister's instructions and said:
"My lord, my sister-in-law made this cement not only so that people could build their houses right now, but also so that the government could make it and sell it."
The money obtained was used to rebuild my Anping County.
Little Fish just thought that when the adults sold the products, they could get a little bit of the profit.
Xiaoyu wants to use this money to rebuild our Chijia'ao village, and while he's at it, build a private school for the clan and hire a tutor.
If Chi Qiao hadn't said so much beforehand, and hadn't emphasized Chi Yu's good fortune, Fang Shizhong might have refused outright at this moment.
As a person in a position of power, whatever he needs, or whatever is beneficial to the country and its people, the Chi clan must provide.
But considering Chi Yu's intelligence and good fortune, and the fact that she was Qin Mu's fiancée, he was willing to share some of the benefits.
"Alright! If the result satisfies me, then I will give you half of the ten percent. The term is two years."
Two years later, these prescriptions will no longer be your concern; they will then be in the hands of the imperial court.
"You can make it for your own use, but selling it is absolutely unacceptable!"
Chi Qiao wanted to complain, but then she remembered that the other party was an official and she was an ordinary citizen, so she looked at Qin Mu instead.
Qin Mu is a commander of a thousand households. The other party must be someone important to have him protect them like this.
If the other party could obtain an award from the imperial court for Xiaoyu or the Chi family, she would accept even a partial agreement, even if it was only for two years.
After quickly weighing the pros and cons in her mind, Chi Qiao continued, "Your request is acceptable, but it is ultimately a matter of great importance to the country and its people."
It was our little fish who figured it out day and night. I wonder if the imperial court will offer some other reward in the end?
For example, giving them a title or a plaque.
Of course, it would be even better if they could ban the account.
After all, our little fish is about to do more than just this cement.
Xiaoyu had previously grown a new type of grain using seeds provided by Qin Mu. It had a high yield and tasted great.
There's just that there's so little of that stuff now; Little Fish has been messing around with it since last year.
If we want all the land in Anping County to be planted, we'll have to wait until at least next year.
However, our government's official lands, and the people in charge of this area under the imperial court, will be able to obtain these seeds in the second half of the year.
You can try planting it first, and then check the yield and taste.
If there are no problems, it would be good for all the people of the Great Chu Kingdom to plant it together.
Given this premise, I think giving our little fish a title wouldn't be a bad idea, right?
When Fang Shizhong heard Chi Qiao mention wanting a reward from the imperial court, he thought that even if Chi Qiao hadn't said it, he would have asked for a reward for them out of respect for Qin Mu.
Just have the Emperor bestow a plaque upon the Chi family, praise Chi Yu in the imperial edict, and perhaps give them some gold and silver jewelry.
When she heard Chi Qiao say that she wanted to revoke the title, she felt that this woman was asking for too much.
Although cement is beneficial to the country and its people, it is not at all worthy of being granted a title by the imperial court.
However, when he heard Chi Qiao say that there was a new type of grain, which Amu knew about, and that it had high yield and good taste, he couldn't help but pay attention to it.
Whether he is a son of a marquis, a prince, or the future ruler of a country.
If it can increase the grain production of the people, then it must be a major event for the entire Great Chu Kingdom.
