[Chapter 194 Good Things]
Shen Yuyao didn't know why her father sent her a box of gold.
She ignored Cheng Liyan and took out the letter written by her father.
In the letter, Prime Minister Shen told his daughter that he presented the books he sent back to the emperor today, and the emperor was very happy after reading them!
He immediately called the officials in charge of agriculture in the Ministry of Household Affairs, handed them the book, and asked them to come up with a specific implementation plan as soon as possible.
Prime Minister Shen also said that the emperor was even happier when he heard that her third brother was also planning to try out the contents of the book in his own farm, hoping to relieve the country's worries in this way.
She immediately appointed her third brother as a minor official in the Department of Agriculture, allocated him an imperial farm near the capital, and gave him the right to recruit people on his own.
Let him and the people from the Ministry of Revenue work separately and see who can produce results first.
Because agriculture is the foundation of a country, although it has not been truly implemented yet, it is impossible to determine whether the contents of these books are also applicable in Wushuang Country.
But the emperor still decided to give a great reward to the Shen family who presented the book.
Before conferring the reward, the emperor specifically asked Prime Minister Shen what he needed. Prime Minister Shen thought about it and decided to ask for money.
Although Prime Minister Shen wrote very subtly in the letter, the young couple could still see the unfinished meaning of the old man's writing.
He felt that his daughter's current life was a bit too poor.
In addition, Shen Yuyao has said many times that her space is limited, so she asked her family to be careful when sending things to her.
Especially when sending large items, be sure to ask her opinion in advance.
Under the circumstances at the time, Prime Minister Shen could not consult his daughter, but he could not refuse the emperor's reward either.
At that time, refusing the emperor and spoiling his mood was a small matter, but it would be troublesome if the emperor felt that their family was seeking to repay a favor.
So Prime Minister Shen simply asked for the gold.
The reason he used was simple - although his daughter had become a fairy, she still had a compassionate heart that was willing to save all living beings.
The meat and food she asked for last time were all for Jimin, and such things will definitely happen again in the future.
Gold is a hard currency and should be usable in Wushuang Country or anywhere else.
Since the emperor wants to reward him, he might as well give him some gold.
When his daughter contacts her family again, he will give it to her and ask her to do charity with it, and tell her that it is the emperor's gift.
After hearing Prime Minister Shen's request, the emperor agreed immediately without any hesitation.
Not only did he reward her with five hundred taels of gold on the spot, he also promised that when the Ministry of Revenue's experimental fields produced results, he would build a proper Taoist temple for Fairy Chen.
At that time, he will go to Xuantong Temple in person to fulfill his vow.
After reading the letter, the couple fell silent.
Cheng Liyan picked up a gold ingot, weighed it in his palm, and then said as if in a dream: "This box is five hundred taels of gold?"
"Yeah." Shen Yuyao nodded.
She looked at Cheng Liyan's hand and said, "This ingot weighs five taels. There are a total of one hundred ingots in this box."
Cheng Liyan plopped down on the stool.
He put the ingot back into the box, closed the box, and said to Shen Yuyao, "Please take this thing back quickly. Don't leave it outside. I feel dizzy looking at it."
He rubbed his chest and said, "No, I have to slow down. It's too scary. This move is a box of gold ingots! I guess the big capitalists in the past may not have such a box of gold at home, right?
We haven't done anything, but we have become more capitalist than the capitalists?"
At this point he raised his head and asked seriously, "Comrade Shen Yuyao, are the people in your place so rich? Do they carry gold ingots when they go out?"
Shen Yuyao rolled her eyes.
She knew that this guy was starting to talk nonsense again and was too lazy to pay attention to him.
I simply sat next to him and opened the letter from my third brother and read it.
The content of Shen Junlin's letter was similar to what Prime Minister Shen wrote. He happily told Shen Yuyao that he would report to the Agricultural Affairs Department tomorrow.
After that he will move to the imperial estate and may not be able to go home often for a long time.
I probably won’t be able to contact my sister as frequently as I do now.
But he would often write letters to tell Shen Yuyao about what was going on.
At that time, he would ask someone to bring letters home regularly, and told Shen Yuyao not to forget him if anything happened, and to just ask if he could help.
He will certainly do his best just like he is doing now.
Shen Yuyao was still worried when she read her father's letter. She was afraid that her third brother took up the small official position in the Agricultural Affairs Bureau because of pressure from her father.
After all, in her heart, her third brother was going to take part in the imperial examination.
Once he became a minor official in the Agricultural Affairs Department, it would mean that he would give up the imperial examination.
Shen Yuyao really couldn't imagine her third brother, who was a handsome man who loved to recite poems, paint, and travel, and was a farmer who worked the fields, together.
Although it was highly unlikely that he would go to the fields himself after arriving at the imperial farm, it was almost the same.
From now on, what he would face every day would no longer be green mountains and clear waters, spring flowers and autumn moons, but rice, wheat, potatoes, millet, pigs, horses, cattle and sheep.
However, from the letter, Shen Yuyao did not sense any dissatisfaction from her third brother, but instead felt a deep joy.
It's obvious that he really likes what he is doing.
Only then did Shen Yuyao feel relieved.
After putting away their things and taking out the food, the couple started eating.
Although the box of gold ingots did give them a scare, they quickly regained their composure after the shock.
Even though Cheng Liyan kept yelling "he needs to slow down, he needs to slow down", Shen Yuyao felt that there was really nothing he could do to slow down.
Those things couldn't affect him at all. Looking at the way he ate, it didn't even affect his appetite.
Shen Yuyao cares even less about money.
After all, the ingots of gold and silver in her dowry were not a small amount.
The only thing that Shen Yuyao was satisfied with about this matter was that she finally didn't have to worry about having too many things.
You know, whether it was the lamp oil before or the animal meat later, even if Cheng Liyan's handling of the matter was satisfactory, they were still taking risks.
Shen Yuyao doesn't want such things to happen frequently.
After dinner, the two rode their bikes to Qianting Street.
Because it had been agreed upon in advance, when they arrived, the brothers Chen Xing and Chen Bing were already standing at the door of the scrap yard waiting for them.
Seeing their car coming, the two children waved at them excitedly.
When they saw Shen Yuyao, the children hurried out to greet her.
Chen Bing ran over and grabbed Shen Yuyao's sleeve, and said mysteriously: "Aunt Shen, we have prepared something good for you. Guess what it is?"
Having just received a good thing from her father, Shen Yuyao couldn't help but feel her heart pounding when she heard the word "good thing" again.
She didn't know what the good stuff would be this time?
