Red Mansion Royal Cat

Chapter 321 Fengtian Yiyun
The old lady is quite rich...

Jia Cong glanced at the thick stack of banknotes in the wooden box, a little surprised.

If he remembered correctly, the old lady had already given her two sons no less than 10 taels of silver for the construction of the family-saving garden and the deficit of the household repayment department.

Now they took out 5 taels of silver bills without even blinking an eye, so the richest person in Rongguo Mansion is actually the old lady?
"Don't look at it, the old lady has money and doesn't have your share. The rest of the money is for the second girl and the others."

cough~
"I don't want it, I don't want it. You always love your granddaughter, and your grandson also loves the second sister and the others."

Jia Cong put away the silver and planned to leave Rongxitang to go to the household department, but the old lady called him back.

"Is there something else grandma?"

The old lady turned to the inner hall, and after a while, she came out with a small box and put it in front of Jia Cong.

Jia Cong opened it under the gesture of the old lady, and it turned out to be the land deeds of several villages and shops.

"This is?"

"This is Yun girl's mother who lived with me back then, and no one knows except me."

The old lady's eyes were full of complexity, and she sighed endlessly.

"That year she just gave birth to Yun girl, and I went to see her. She gave me this box when there was no one else, saying that the people in the Bowling Marquis's mansion were unreliable, and to prevent accidents, I put the few villages and shops she had prepared in advance into my hands."

Xiangyun's father died inexplicably before the army, but the Governor's Mansion received an application from Shi Jia's brother and his brother to attack him.

Anyone with a little brain in the capital can detect the weirdness in it.

After Xiangyun's mother hanged herself in love, the old lady secretly sent people to take over these Zhuangzi and shops, and then carried Xiangyun back to Rongguo Mansion with great fanfare.

In the following ten years, Xiangyun's time in Rongguo Mansion almost caught up with the time spent in Bowlinghou Mansion.

Jia Cong also sighed along with the old lady: "The beloved son of the parents has a far-reaching plan. Aunt Shi Jia entrusted Sister Yun's future to you back then, and this step is the right one."

The old lady handed Jia Cong a few more silver bills, worth tens of thousands of taels, and sighed: "Let's not talk about that, go and calculate the taxes that these Zhuangzi shops should pay, and pay them together. If the silver is not enough, you can come to me to get it."

……

It is impossible for Wen Tongxuan to collect so much money from Jia Cong according to the taxation system of the state. The emperor was grateful for the old Shisan and Jia Cong singing double reeds in Fengtian Hall, and asked Xia Shouzhong to go to the Ministry of Households in person, and asked Wen Tongxuan what he meant. just fine.

Therefore, Jia Cong brought nearly 6 taels of silver notes when he went, and returned the entire 5 taels of silver notes to the old lady when he returned home.

Of course, what is registered at the Ministry of Household Affairs is that Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion have paid a total of 650 four two three cents and two cents of tax and silver...

There are odd and complete ones, and they are posted directly at the gate of the household office, so that those who are still watching almost don't curse.

Who are you bluffing?Whose tax bank would have such a strange thing!
But Wen Tongxuan really stamped the big seal of the Ministry of Household Affairs on it, and it has come true if it is not true.

The emperor's razor is eyeing, and many people are already gritting their teeth and dripping blood from their hearts, collecting money and preparing to send it to the Ministry of Households.

Of course, these things have nothing to do with Jia Cong, at least on the surface.

He hadn't had a break these few days, and people from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Households took turns looking for him, whether it was about the cultivation of potatoes, or about the ceremony on the fifth day of the lunar new year.

Being so busy, Jia Cong simply couldn't care about the intensifying turmoil in the capital.

Until the early morning of the fifth day of the sixth lunar month, Maoshi had just arrived, and a series of carriages came out from Ningrong Street.

Today is the grand ceremony of the imperial court, and it is also a great joyous event of great importance to Ningrong Jia's family.All the people from the two prefectures in Beijing boarded the carriages and mounted their horses, and walked towards the west of the city together.

At the same time, Jia Jing and Jia Zheng, as the representatives of the Jia family, had already been waiting outside the Great Xia Gate, waiting for the holy driver to leave the palace.

At about the beginning of the Chen Dynasty, Shengjia came to Jiajiazhuangzi in the northwest of the capital, backed by Shijingshan.

"Long live Long live Long live!"

The second sage and the crown prince Liu Hong, who had rushed back to the capital, got off the carriage one by one, and were surrounded by the royal family, military relatives, and civil and military officials, and came to the high platform of the imperial tent built by the Ministry of Rites.

It was the first time for the householders in Zhuangzi to meet Shengyan at such a close distance. They were so excited, and some even recited their old father and mother who were paralyzed in bed, hoping to gain the spirit of the emperor and get rid of the disease. .

The ceremonies of the Ministry of Rites were very complicated, offering sacrifices to heaven and ancestors. The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors accepted the incense sacrifices from the Great Xia monarchs and ministers one by one.

The emperor nodded to Xia Shouzhong, and saw Xia Shouzhong shake the dust, and shouted: "The emperor obeys the will of the saint, the people in the village work hard, assist Jia Cong, a son of Sishui County, to cultivate and cultivate immortal food, and reward him with merit..."

"Long live Long live Long live!"

The sky-shattering Long Live Mountain called for the atmosphere in Zhuangzi to start to rise. After the emperor waved his long sleeves and shouted the start, the whole Zhuangzi immediately boiled.

"Your Majesty, you use this..."

After looking at the hoe that Jia Cong handed over, the emperor's lord had bruised veins on his forehead, and kicked Jia Cong's ass as soon as he lifted his leg.

"You bastard, whose hoe is made of gold!"

Although the sun is not scorching today, the sunlight shining through the clouds still makes this gold hoe almost blind the eyes of all officials and farmers.

Jia Cong rubbed his butt aggrieved, and said resentfully: "Ask the people in Zhuangzi. In their eyes, the emperor is just digging the ground with a golden hoe and planting crops!"

"Hahahahaha..."

The Taishanghuang, who was wandering around the fields with Liu Hong's support, laughed out loud, because it was the same as what Jia Cong said, and all the households in the vicinity had the same opinion.

There is also a bold old man who added: "When the emperor eats noodles, he must eat several garlic cloves and add several large pieces of fat meat to the noodles!"

The old man smiled happily, being a son can't spoil the old man's interest.Pick up that golden hoe and dig and dig symbolically.

Jia Cong also picked up the hoe and started digging while humming a little tune.

"In the little village

dig dig dig dig

small potatoes
little baby

in the big village
dig dig dig dig

grow big potatoes
give birth to a lot of babies

......"

Ok?
The prince Liu Hong on the side asked suspiciously: "What does this potato have to do with giving birth?"

Jia Cong looked up at the sky at 45 degrees: "Fourth brother, the more potatoes you grow, the bigger they will be, and the people will have more food to fill their stomachs, and they will be able to raise more children!"

Makes sense!

Looking at the potato eggs he had dug out, Liu Hong felt that he had inexhaustible strength, so he dug harder.

In less than an hour, the good news began to be announced everywhere.

"God bless Daxia, the yield per mu is 33 shi!"

"Report to Your Majesty, the yield here is 36 shi per mu!"

"Xiangrui, Xiangrui, the yield per mu here is as high as 38 shi!"

The emperor's golden hoe really has a fairy spirit, and the yield per mu of potatoes dug out is the highest in the whole village, as high as 41 shi!
Of course, people from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Rites would never say that this piece of land is the best growing and most meticulously cared for in Zhuangzi.

Zhuangzi was seething, no matter whether it was the officials or the common people, they all began to cheer.

At this time, the people did not distinguish between superior and inferior factions, nor did they have the intention of intrigue.Because there has never been such a high yield of grain on this land, this means that their generation will be famous in history.

To relieve the suffering of the people from famine, and to benefit the common people, has immeasurable merits and virtues.

Liu Heng held a large piece of potato, and respectfully presented it to the Supreme Emperor.

"Father, God has given me auspiciousness, and the people of Daxia are no longer afraid of going hungry!"

……

Crackling, crackling~
Boom, boom, boom~
People in this land like to set off firecrackers whenever there is a happy event, and today's firecrackers are especially earth-shattering.

I don't know which dear friend from the Ministry of Rites actually borrowed nine cannons from the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

Amidst the crackling firecrackers, nine cannons fired together.

The emperor held a tray covered with yellow cloth, and on the tray was a piece of potato with soil on it. He slowly walked up to the high platform built by the Ministry of Rites, knelt down to the sky, and chanted the sacrificial oration.

"On the fifth day of June in the sixth year of Wei Yuanyou, Emperor Liu Heng of Great Xia told the Empress Dowager: Wei inherits the heaven and establishes the pole, and protects the people; it is passed down from generation to generation, and it will last forever. Before the end of the ceremony, Fuke bowed Sacrificial offerings, presenting sacrifices and silks, only to tell the court, to offer food for all the people to the ancestors and sages... Shangxian!"

All the officials, officials, and common people on the left and right knelt down and kowtowed, shouting long live.

The emperor offered potatoes to the ancestors of heaven and earth, and waved his sleeves after getting up: "Pingshen! Where is Jia Cong?"

"Chen is here!"

Jia Cong walked out of the queue slowly, and all the officials looked enviously at the Jia family who bowed down.

The rewards are finally coming, this is the third major event today after harvesting and offering sacrifices to heaven.

No matter how the emperor rewarded Jia's son, this son was destined to become the most dazzling star of the Great Xia Dynasty.

"Jia Cong of the Rongguo Mansion, offered high-yield grain, relieved the suffering of the people from famine, and consolidated the country and the country...He was granted the title of Fengtian Yiyun Tuicheng County Bo of Yongfeng, and specially granted hereditary replacement, changing his ancestral land Jiangning to Yongfeng, Carve a stele and pass it on to show his achievements!"

"Pursuing the title of Jia Daishan, the former Duke of Rongguo, as King of Rongjun, and enshrining in the Taimiao, enjoying the incense forever. Mrs. Shi of Rongguo, Yi Fan Chuifang, and conferring the title of Princess Rongjun..."

"Cong's aunt, Xing, added her as Mrs. Feng Rongguo. His biological mother, Zheng, posthumously presented her as Mrs. Yongfeng County. The Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry engraved steles in seal script to show her virtue and merit."

Mrs. Lin Lin made a great posthumous posthumous gift. Not only was the late Xianrong Guo Jia Daishan crowned king after his death, he was enshrined in the Taimiao, but also the old lady of the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Cong's aunt and birth mother, and even the golden hoe. Let Jia Cong not forget his previous aspirations, and dig and dig and dig for the country!
dig what?Of course, it is to cultivate the land well and present more new grains to the emperor.

As a hereditary magistrate, this is already a reward carefully considered by the emperor and discussed with the Supreme Emperor several times.

Ordinarily, Jia Cong's breeding and planting of potatoes and other shocking things has increased the Liu family's national fortune by at least [-]%, and it is enough to be crowned king.

But the emperor has a psychological shadow on the matter of conferring a king with a different surname, and Jia Cong is too young, what should he do if he becomes a king today and makes new achievements tomorrow?
After thinking about it for a while, the Supreme Emperor thought of his own brother Jia Daishan...

At the founding of the country, the original meritorious service of Ningrong and Rong was higher than that of the four kings with different surnames, but because of their loyalty to the royal family, the two asked to be lowered to nobility.

Let's just return Jia's family as a prince now!

The old lady was knocked dizzy by the imperial concubine who fell from the sky, and Mrs. Xing looked similar, but Yingchun Daiyu and others on both sides reminded her again and again, and led the whole family to come forward and bow down the order thank you.

For a moment, the glory of Ningrong and Rongfu became even greater than before, the jealous eyes of the officials who watched turned green, and many wives and wives wished to snatch Jia Cong home and stuff them into their stomachs to make him reborn.

After the award, today's ceremony is not over yet.

Xia Shouzhong was ordered to announce three decrees in succession. One is that the emperor ordered Prince Liu Hong to sacrifice to the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum on behalf of heaven; , with the grace of Emperor Zhao.

People from the household department sent a large amount of money, cloth, grain, vegetables and meat, and gave them to the households in Jia's Zhuangzi.The few old farmers who were the best at farming in the village were bestowed by the emperor as scattered officials and enshrined in the household department.

When the hustle and bustle cleared up, the officials who followed Shengjia back to Beijing suddenly realized that there seemed to be something wrong with the imperial conferment on Jia Cong just now.

Fengtian Yiyun promoted the sincerity of the county uncle of Yongfeng, is he a minister of Xuanli military affairs or a minister of civil affairs?Is the emperor's lord talking nonsense wrong?
……

The Ministry of Rites had already prepared a big banquet and placed it directly in the Zhuangzi.After the banquet, Shengjia returned to Beijing, but the members of the Jia family did not leave.

After Mr. Jing led the members of the Jia family to send off the holy driver, he took Jia Cong and walked slowly in the village.

"It can be seen that the reward His Majesty gave you has any special meaning?"

Jia Cong nodded: "Your Majesty didn't say whether my nephew is a minister of Xuanli military affairs or a minister of civil affairs. This is to let my nephew take the road of advancing both civil and military affairs."

"Right or wrong, your future path depends on what His Majesty wants you to do."

Listening to the laughter in Zhuangzi, Mr. Jing could not help but smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Our Majesty takes one step at a time and reads three steps. Every sentence is full of deep meaning. If you are given a minister who guards the text in the future, you will be an important minister. But he changed the name of the ancestral land of Jiangning to Yongfeng. Yongfeng, however, has already made his attitude clear. If Xuanli military ministers are given, then our Jia family will probably be given to the royal family to guard the south of the Yangtze River."

The Zhuangzi of the Jia family is very large, and there are small courtyards neatly arranged around the other courtyards.

Jia Cong grinned as he looked at the smoke rising from every house and the smell of meat in Zhuangzi.

"Whether it is civil or military in the future, my nephew will be able to reach the top of the courtiers. Our family has a hereditary title, and it is such a special contribution. As long as we don't make it clear that we are rebellious, it is really a war with the country." Retired together."

He pointed to the wisps of smoke, full of pride: "Look, uncle, just like today, in the future, the people of Daxia will rely on the high yield of potatoes to fill their stomachs. Who would not love our family? Why did your majesty give my nephew The hereditary and irreplaceable title, this is to completely tie our family to the royal car!"
