Before confiscating the house and going into exile, he emptied the enemy's warehouses and fled.

Chapter 47 Rewards, eating according to orders
Zhou Shaoyu came forward in three steps and said curiously: "What on earth did she say?"

The prime minister looked at Emperor Xuanwen, who nodded: "Show it to him!"

Zhou Shaoyu took it over and read it. There was no embarrassment. It was amazing. Can you still write a letter like this?

There is no rigid structure, but it is easier to understand and more vivid.

He thought of Xie Yanyan's face. He really didn't expect that she was such a third lady!
Just the words "guilty daughter" are so dazzling!
Emperor Xuanwen looked at Zhou Shaoyu's face and saw the surprise he had imagined, and was very satisfied.

He could immediately think of the power of Quyuanli, but he still announced: "Sinong will first use the drawings to make a batch, try it out on the farmland, and then promote it to the people. As for Miss Xie San's reward-"

He paused and said: "You will be rewarded with a two-wheel-drive carriage. From the various government offices along the way, you can receive 10 kilograms of rice per day or a full meal for up to 10 people."

It means eating according to orders.

Zhou Shaoyu felt disdainful in his heart that Quyuanli was only rewarded with such a small thing for such a big kit!

Emperor Xuanwen added: "The prince of Zhou has made great contributions to discovering talents. From now on, he will take up a position in the Ministry of Industry. Well, he will be appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Industry."

Zhou Shaoyu thanked him, feeling a little unwilling.

But this is all that can be done now. After all, he has only been in exile for more than a month. He immediately pardons Xie Yanyan and the emperor slaps himself in the face.

The date of the announcement and the imperial envoy were not immediately designated.

Emperor Xuanwen waited for the Ministry of Industry to work overtime day and night and made several more curved shaft plows, and brought them to the imperial village and farm near Kyoto to try them.

The functional advantages of the curved shaft plow are very obvious. It can rotate flexibly and conveniently. It is not only more suitable for irregular farmland, but also saves time and effort.

Emperor Xuanwen was overjoyed, and immediately issued an order to promote the work at all levels, and strictly ordered the Ministry of Industry to keep the technical drawings confidential.

It was confirmed that the imperial envoy who announced the decree was not Zhou Shaoyu, but the prince.

The prince personally caught up with the exiled team and met with Xie Yanyan to see what kind of woman Xie Yanyan was.

Zhou Shaoyu was furious and pestered Emperor Xuanwen to go with him.

Emperor Xuanwen thought for a moment and said, "It's been a long time since you returned to Nanhai Palace? Go back and see your father, the queen, mother and concubines."

Zhou Shaoyu immediately became quiet and said in surprise: "Didn't His Majesty ask me to go to the Ministry of Industry to work as a cow or a horse?"

"What are you talking about? Why are you just pretending to be a fool when you go to the Ministry of Industry?" Emperor Xuanwen said in a dumbfounded voice, "You are allowed three months' leave. You must report to the Ministry of Industry well when you come back."

It takes almost two months to go back to Nanhai and back, and only one month at home.

Zhou Shaoyu thanked him and went to pester the prince.

Prince Fu Hong saw him coming and said with a smile: "If you don't come to find me, I will go to you."

"Why are you looking for me? Invite me to dinner?"

"Is it okay to eat, Wanghai Pavilion?"

"Row."

After a while, the two of them went to Wanghai Pavilion. Wanghai Pavilion immediately closed the door and put a sign outside that said it was temporarily closed.

The prince asked: "You have dealt with Miss Xie San. What kind of person is she?"

"You don't know?" Zhou Shaoyu said in surprise, "I thought you knew everything about the noble ladies of Kyoto."

The prince said that he had some impressions of other noble ladies, but he had never seen this Miss Xie San.

The two scolded Xie Jinrong, and both praised Miss Xie San for her continuous self-improvement. She was so dazzling after she was released from the confinement imposed by the old Shen family.

Zhou Shaoyu said: "I actually only met her twice, once to see the magic of her soap, and once to eat the porridge she made."

The prince felt very strange: "Is the porridge delicious?"

Zhou Shaoyu originally wanted to say it was delicious, but looking at the prince's curious eyes, he changed his mind and said, "Your Highness, why are you asking about this?" The prince was stunned and said, "You said it yourself."

"She is a bit cold. She can say one word but never two. In short, she is different from ordinary women in the boudoir. Don't treat her like an ordinary woman." Zhou Shaoyu pondered and said, "When Your Highness goes to announce the decree, you can ask her if she has any questions." What needs.”

The prince asked for a long time but couldn't find out anything. He treated him to a good meal and then went back.

When I got back, I went to the palace to see the emperor.

"Father, Jingchen and Miss Xie San are probably not related. They didn't know each other before, but he does know Xie Xiangxiang, the eldest lady of the Xie Mansion." The prince told Emperor Xuanwen, "The reason why Miss Xie San entrusted him to dedicate it to my father." The emperor seems to be a bit like a dragon and a phoenix."

That's right, who doesn't want to climb the dragon and follow the phoenix! Although Zhou Shaoyu's name was unknown, everyone knew that Emperor Xuanwen favored him.

Emperor Xuanwen said to the prince: "Go and declare the decree, see what ideas she has, and those who can be used will be under your command."

Thank you, Prince.

It was another half month before the prince's carriage caught up with the exile team. When officials from various states and counties along the way heard that the prince was passing by, they all held banquets and waited for him, which wasted a lot of time on the way.

***
The exile team left Nanyang City and arrived at a village called Xiazhuang on the third day.

The north has always been dry and rainless, and there are no rivers here. Dust is flying everywhere. The dust on the official road is more than a handful thick, and everyone and everything is dusty.

Entering the fourth month of the lunar calendar, it starts to get hot during the day, and you won’t get cold without a quilt at night. After communicating with Li Zheng, Li Rong arranged for the prisoners to rest on the spot beside a poplar forest on Guan Road.

Xie Yanyan didn't want to wrong himself anymore, so he took the whole family a little further away, took out steamed buns, steamed buns, and meatloaf, and had beef and chili sauce for dinner. They had a carriage with a tin kettle on it, so there was no shortage of water.

Ever since he discovered that Jiang Shuang wanted to help Xie Xiangxiang in Nanyang City, even Xie Ning had despaired of her. During the meal, Xie Yanyan handed out steamed buns, steamed buns and meat patties one by one. Whoever wanted to eat beef chili sauce came to scoop it up in his own place.

Jiang Shuang, of course, would not be given to her.

Since you like Xie Xiangxiang so much, go ask her for food.

"Why don't you give it to me?" Jiang Shuang was annoyed, "You have so much food, but you can bear to watch others starve to death?"

Xie Yanyan: "There is a quota above, go to Mr. Li to get it."

"One pancake is not enough."

"Figure it out yourself."

Xie Yanyan took advantage of the darkness to pull out 7 apples from the space, one for each member of his family.

As for ginger frost, no.

Xie Lingyu asked in a low voice: "Sister, what is this?"

"Don't ask, just eat."

It can be said that at this time in the Pre-Qin Dynasty, materials and varieties were really scarce. Apples, a fruit with high yield and the most common fruit in later generations, are not yet available.

What's more, this sweet, crisp and large apple only appeared in the 20s.

The apples are crisp and sweet, but she doesn't want to share them with Li Rong and the others. Li Rong has made enough money here. She doesn't want to give out apples to too many people for the time being because apples are a fruit that can only be eaten one by one.

Li Rong had been paying attention to everyone and heard the crunching sound of their eating. He did not come to disturb them. It was not good for him to keep moving forward while others ate something.

When the chicken crows "Oooh" for the first time, everyone falls asleep.

In the poplar forest, there was a sound of tired snoring.

"Pulling"

The sound of birds flapping their wings came. Xie Anfeng and Xie Ning woke up immediately. When they pricked up their ears, they heard the dull "tap-tat-tat" sound of horse hooves stepping on the thick dust. The leaves on the treetops were trampled by the birds. The sound of movement.

Xie Anfeng jumped up and made a secret move under the car. In an instant, he had a Tang knife in his hand.
