Chapter 143 Rewards based on merit
Arriving at the study, the emperor gave Duke Fu a seat, and then his expression became serious; "These two things are indeed very good, Jiang Chuan has made an indelible contribution this time."
Mr. Fu quickly stood up and said respectfully, "Serving the king with loyalty and working hard for the country is the duty of a minister. These are things he should do."
The emperor nodded in satisfaction. "That being said, merits and demerits are clearly distinguished, and the rewards should still be given. She has had enough fun outside these years, and he should also take on the responsibility of being the crown prince of the general's mansion. Let Jiang Chuan set off to return to the capital!"
This is the emperor's decree to determine Jiangchuan's position as the crown prince. Once the emperor's decree is issued, those in the general's mansion will probably be furious. Years of planning, in the end, are in vain. Duke Fu is in a good mood just thinking about it.
Mr. Fu: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Your Majesty: "Who is this Lady Yun? How did Jiang Chuan know her?"
Mr. Fu: "Mrs. Yun, whose real name is Yun Yiyi, has been wandering around since she was a child, and no one knows where her family is. Later, she married the eldest son of the Xiao family, but her life was not easy. The eldest son of the Xiao family went out to work and has been missing since then. She lived a hard life with her two children in her husband's house. Because her mother-in-law wanted to sell the children, she fell and injured her head in desperation. After waking up, she took her two children and left the house. In order to find food, she went into the mountains and brought out this sweet potato from the mountains. After planting it, she found that the yield of the plant was extremely high. It is incomparable to other species. …………."
Mr. Fu carefully told the emperor everything Jiang Chuan told him in the letter, and it took him nearly an hour.
The emperor was greatly surprised. "A mother should be strong. This is how she should be. She should be self-reliant and look for opportunities in adversity. Excellent!"
Old Master Fu took the opportunity to say, "I think so too. Especially after Jiang Chuan reminded him, he presented these items to His Majesty without hesitation. It can be seen that he has a sense of justice and is a good person. Moreover, his two children, the eldest son Xiuwen, only studied for half a year, won the first place in the Tongsheng case. This time he plans to participate in the county examination. The teachers in the academy attach great importance to him, and his future is promising. The second son Qiwen also went to Yinjian Villa to learn martial arts, and was accepted as a closed disciple by the owner Yun Changhai. Maybe in a few years, he can serve His Majesty."
The emperor was in a very happy mood at the moment; "Hahaha, good, good," after laughing, he picked up the imperial pen and began to write an imperial edict to appoint Jiang Chuan as the crown prince.
After writing it, he gave it directly to Mr. Fu. This should be given to Jiang Chuan as a reward for his meritorious service to the court!
This means the emperor has agreed. Jiang Chuan can take this imperial edict back home at any time to inherit the position of crown prince.
Mr. Fu thanked the emperor and carefully put away the imperial edict.
"Old man, judging from the time you mentioned, it's too late to plant sweet potatoes this year. So let Yun's family keep all the sweet potatoes they planted this year as seeds, and the court will allocate funds to buy them and use them for promotion next year."
Mr. Fu quickly agreed, "Your Majesty, what you said makes a lot of sense. It should be so."
The emperor glanced at Mr. Fu, who looked like an old fox, and asked with a smile, "Do you have any recommendations for someone to be responsible for promoting the application of cement powder?"
This question needs to be answered carefully.
"The person who is in charge of this matter must be knowledgeable and loyal to the court. He must not pretend to be knowledgeable, nor must he be ignorant of the people's sentiments."
The emperor was silent for a moment; "Then let Jiang Chuan take charge of this matter. It is time for him to start serving the court. He can choose the others by himself. Let's start with the Weibei granary!"
Mr. Fu responded on behalf of Jiang Chuan with a serious face: "As ordered by His Majesty."
"As for Yun, for his meritorious service to the state, he was awarded 50 taels of gold, acres of fertile land, pieces of silk, and was granted the title of Fourth Rank Anren. He will not receive any salary from the imperial court. This time, he will assist Jiangchuan in taking charge of the affairs of Weibei. He will be granted the title of Supervisory Envoy and enjoy the salary of his position while in office. If his eldest son passes the imperial examination this time, he will go to the Imperial Academy to study!"
"Your Majesty is benevolent."
"As long as they work hard for the court and are loyal to the country, they are all pillars of society, regardless of age or gender. If the court could have more people like this, there would be no need to worry about the prosperity of our dynasty," said the emperor with emotion.
"Your Majesty is generous and wise, and he uses talents in a flexible manner. It is only a matter of time before the court prospers."
"Old man! You don't have to flatter me. If you have time, help me share more of the burden. It will be more useful than saying anything nice."
"This is my responsibility as an old minister, hehehe..."
The next day, the imperial edict of reward was sent at full speed from the palace through the city to the small mountain village.
At this moment, I don't know how to calculate how much sweet potato noodles I should make in the next two months? How much money can I earn?
I am thinking about how far I am from my dream of being a landlord's wife. How long do I have to struggle to fully realize my freedom as a salted fish.
