Chapter 202 How to Reward

"The disaster year is still scary, but it is true that so many people will not die. In the future, many people will have enough to eat." The emperor sighed.

"One mu of land yields about two thousand catties a year. My family has three mu of land, which means that there are at least five thousand catties of grain in a year. There are ten people in my family. Uh, who can help me calculate how much grain my family can eat a day ? This number is too complicated for me to figure out.”

"I can eat at least thirteen catties and six taels of food every day." Xiao'er said with a smile on her face, and this is still counting.

The emperor glanced at Xiao'er after hearing this, how did County Lord Rui'an figure it out without even thinking about it?
Not only the emperor, but the two sons of the admiral's mansion and Huang Wei all looked at Xiao'er in surprise, and then hurriedly calculated in their hearts to see if she made a mistake.

"Thirteen catties and six taels, this, this is enough for a whole family to eat for more than ten days!"

"Next year, you don't need to be so economical. Uncle opens his belly and eats slowly." Xiao'er laughed.

"Yes, yes..."

This time, most people in the village planted winter wheat. Only a few families felt that it was impossible not to freeze to death, and because people were lazy, they did not plant it. Now these few families surrounded Shen Chengyao and asked him to remember to leave it for their family. some wheat.

Seeing this, everyone gathered around to order wheat seeds.

"San Shen, I want two catties of wheat seeds. Remember to keep them for me!"

"I want five catties, I have to buy two extra catties for my mother's family!"

"Why did I forget about my father-in-law's family? I also need to buy three catties more. Brother Chengyao, please help me remember."

"Yes, my natal family wants it, too, you also remember..."

"Go, go, go... The people in the village haven't finished buying, so you can buy for your mother's family! Hurry up and go! Brother Chengyao, I want to..."

"I've already rented out an extra five acres of land, save some more of my family's wheat seeds!"

"Yes, why didn't I think of it, where there is Tiandian, I have to go to Tiandian, and I want two catties of wheat seeds!"

……

The villagers rushed up, and the scene was a bit chaotic. Huang Wei and the two sons of the admiral's mansion protected the emperor and the two princes.

"Master Shangguan, why don't we go back first?"

The sun was getting fiercer, and the emperor had to deal with a lot of memorials every day, and he couldn't read it all the time, so he nodded.

On the way back to Shen Chengyao's house, the emperor was agitated and couldn't calm down for a long time.

He was happy and excited about the high yield of rice, but it was not as good as this time.

This time, he visited the place in person and saw the cheers of the people, the jumping and jumping of the people, and the weeping of the people.

This feeling of having fun with the people is really shocking!

Back in the room, the emperor sat on the sofa, smiled and beckoned them to sit down.

"Haha...the Marquis of Shengping made another great contribution this time, what reward do you think should be given to him?"

A few people did not speak for a while, and those with high merits are generally promoted to rank.

The Marquis of Shengping is now a Marquis, and according to the rules, the reward of the title is already the limit.

"How about rewarding good land, mansions, silver, etc." Huang Wei is also a farmer, and he thinks these are practical. If he rewards something that can only be seen but not used, what is the use of just putting it there, who has the time to look at it every day.

"I believe that since rice and wheat seeds have to be bred every year and Shengpinghou is so good at farming, I think that the post of Nongzhengqing should be specially set up, and let him manage the country's warehouses, distribute grain seeds, and advise farmers. Sanghe studies farming." Shangguan Xuanyi said.

"Nong Zhengqing?" After hearing this, the emperor began to consider the feasibility.

Although Shengpinghou has studied, he is not even a Tongsheng. If he is to be named an official, the court...

"I'm afraid the ministers in the court have objections!" It's not that the emperor didn't want to, but he had to find a way to silence the people in the court.

"My son thinks that in his position, he seeks his position, and accomplishes his work! All these official positions should be occupied by the capable, and the incompetent's position will also ruin things!" Shangguan Xuanyi said bluntly.

"I also think it is feasible. Farming is the foundation of the country. There is no food in the country's warehouse, and the country's generals will not be secure. Of course, those who are capable will live in it." Shangguan Xuanhao also said.

After getting along for a few days, one can also know from Shen Chengyao's conversation that he is not a person with no chest and ink.

Besides, there are countless officials in my dynasty, and there are also countless people who rely on connections to get to the top.

What's more, the officials of the Dasinong Office have no achievements, let alone the national granaries. When there are disasters in various places, they all open their mouths to ask for grain from the national granaries. When they go to the granaries in disaster-free areas, seven out of ten say there is no or Not much food left!
"My minister also thinks it's feasible. Let's take the example of marching and fighting. People who have read a lot of military books may not win the war. It still needs to practice more, fight more, and have experience! Talking about armies on paper is not enough." Admiral's Mansion The second son Zhao Youhe said.

"For this kind of land, people who have never planted land based on paper knowledge alone, I don't think they can do a good job in persuading farmers to teach farming and mulberry!" Zhao Youwei seconded.

"How important is the country's storehouse. At a time of external and internal troubles, the person in charge must be a loyal and honest person. I think the Marquis of Shengping is well-deserved!"

"You write a memorial on this matter, and discuss it when you return to the court..." The emperor remembered the pile of memorials sent in the morning, so he stood up and went back to the study to deal with it.

These few people are always by your side, the emperor said so, there is something to be said!
After Shen Chengyao came back, several people congratulated him, making him confused.

It was Doctor Luo who kindly reminded him that the emperor will reward him.

Shen Chengyao didn't worry about this, he thought it would be fertile land, gold and silver again.

If he knew that he was an official, he would definitely find a way to refuse.

Originally, the emperor had agreed to leave after watching the wheat harvest.He still has something to do, so he has to continue going south.

But when he finished approving the memorial and went out for a walk.

Xiao Xi'er took the paper airplane folded from two wedding invitations, and flew to the emperor's feet in no time.

The emperor bent down and picked it up, only to find that it was two invitation cards.

He opened it and saw that it was an invitation to marry Mei Zhijie and Li Zhewei.And the two get married at the same time, the time is the day after tomorrow.

Li Zhewei and Mei Zhijie were ranked No. [-] and No. [-], and they were selected by him himself. These two are prepared to be cultivated and will be used in the future.

This is to get married before taking office?

After all, he hasn't attended other people's wedding banquet for a long time.

"Master Shangguan, give it to me, bride!" Xiao Xi'er walked to the emperor's side, pulled his robe and pointed at the post in his hand.

"Bride? Do you know what a bride is?"

"I know, bride, the most beautiful."

The most beautiful bride?Right!Isn't a woman most beautiful on the day she becomes a bride?

"Is that Xi'er?" The emperor knelt down and hugged her in his arms.

"Yeah." Xi'er was not afraid of life, she put her arm around the emperor's neck and nodded.

"I want to go to the wedding too, can you take me there?"

"Okay, let's see the bride together." Xi'er said happily, clapping her little hands.

The emperor smiled, "The brides are all covered with heads, so they can't be seen. Let's see the groom!"

"Groom officer, man?"

"Correct."

"Are you handsome?" She doesn't look at those who aren't handsome.

"Handsome?" How would you describe it?
"Just look handsome!" Xiao Xi'er nodded seriously.My sister said that only handsome guys are good-looking.
