Chapter 720: Gusu

So when I went to the government that afternoon, the official guarding the door of the state government saw Gonggong Deng and his party who came to announce the decree a while ago.

Once born and twice cooked, the two of them didn't do the stupid thing of stopping people at the door, nodded and sent people to the courtyard, and shouted loudly: "Lord Zhao, Gonggong Deng in the palace has come to announce the decree." ”

As soon as the other officials heard the decree, they quickly and cleverly moved the case and set up the incense burner.

Zhao Ruxi originally planned to go to see people repairing water conservancy, but before Gong Cheng left yesterday, she specially reminded everyone in the yamen, saying that maybe there would be a reward today, so she stayed in the yamen today and didn't go anywhere.

Not only Zhao Ruxi, but also several other adults stayed in the yamen.

They have never received the holy decree in their lives, and now they can kneel under the holy decree a few times as a melon-eating crowd, which is also a lifelong conversation, so naturally they should not miss it.

Gonggong Deng exchanged a few words with Zhao Ruxi, and when he saw that everyone had arrived and the incense case was placed, he opened the holy decree and read it.

Hearing that the emperor gave Zhao Ruxi a big Zhuangzi with 800 acres of land, as well as 100 taels of gold, 1,000 taels of silver, 1 Nanzhu Hu, 20 horses of silk, and allowed Zhao Ruxi to grow glutinous rice in the Zhuangzi, Liu Hongyu and others were so envious that their eyes were red.

They have no background, and their original families are basically small landlords and the like. After taking the examination and becoming an official, Liu Hongyu was upright, Li Li was timid, and he did not dare to be greedy for ink. Liu Hongyu has been an official all his life, so he bought hundreds of acres of land in his hometown, and plans to return to his hometown to be a farmer.

Cai Yaozong tried his best to make money because someone protected him, but he didn't dare to cross the line. The money he got was all handed over, and he didn't have much left in his hands, and his savings were about the same as Liu Hongyu's.

These rewards won by Zhao Ruxi are nothing in the eyes of Xiao Qi, Xiao Lingyan and those high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital, but they are very rich in the eyes of Liu Hongyu, the fifth- and sixth-grade magistrates.

wanted to return to Beijing in a hurry, and after Duke Deng announced his decree, he didn't stay long and went back to Beijing directly.

Zhao Ruxi is really happy to get this reward. It's all up to her liking.

In the afternoon of the same day, she sent Zhou Chun to take over Zhuangzi.

Zhou Chun has taken over the rectification of several Zhuangzi, and he is familiar with the way, and the routines are the same. Knocking on the Zhuang servants, organizing training, improving treatment, establishing a school, and buying people's hearts, as long as they are done one by one, they can immediately govern Zhuangzi obediently, and Zhao Ruxi doesn't have to worry about it at all.

So she put all her energy into improving the water conservancy system around Nanyang.

Two groups of people were recruited, 200 to open up wasteland and 200 to repair water conservancy.

Zhao Ruxi divided the water conservancy repair into four groups, a group of 50 people, and excavated in four places at the same time, correcting the original imperfect water conservancy system little by little.

Xiao Qi's side moved extremely fast. Zhao Ruxi received the holy decree here, and the design drawings of farm tools with size data that he asked someone to draw were sent to the provinces one by one.

The time when Wu Zong's side received the design drawings was about the same as the time when Zhao Ruxi received the reward, and Gusu's side was only one day slower.

"Zhao Ruxi written on this, but the daughter of Lord Zhao, the one who has just been married as the princess of Qi?" Looking at the description on the farm tool drawing, Zhang Shun couldn't believe his presbyopia, and handed the design drawing to his master for him to see.

The master squinted his eyes and looked at it, nodded and said, "Exactly." Isn't it written above? Nanyang Prefecture was developed by Zhao Ruxi and Zhao Zhiwei, so the emperor named these two new agricultural tools Zhao's nail hoe and Zhao's nail shovel. ”

Sure that it was made by Zhao Ruxi, Zhang Shun smiled bitterly and shook his head: "At the beginning, I wanted my nephew to marry Zhao Zhiwei, it was just a toad who wanted to eat swan meat." As far as my nephew is concerned, he can't even reach a ladder. Fortunately, I had the self-knowledge to stop in time, otherwise I would not be sitting in this position today. ”

robbing the daughter-in-law with the royal family, it's really tired and crooked.

The master didn't speak, but he was complaining in his heart: Where do you have self-knowledge? It's obviously the difference between cloud and mud, people don't even look at your nephew, you're afraid of offending people, so don't you dare to ask him to move forward again, okay?

Zhang Shun didn't expect him to say anything, he picked up the letter, got up and went out, went to Zhao Yuanxun next door, showed him the letter, and blew a wave of rainbow farts at him.

Zhao Yuanxun was naturally very happy. Seeing that the time was almost up, he said, "I'll go back and give my mother good news." ”

"Go, go, go."

Zhao Yuanxun returned home and told the old lady about the matter, and the old lady was also very happy.

"I knew that Sister Xi was a capable person and never cheated on me. She said that she married herself before the age of seventeen, no, she was directly favored by the royal family, and she was going to marry into the royal family as a princess. Ah, I really didn't expect that our Suiping Bofu would have such a beautiful day. ”

Speaking of these, the old lady was particularly emotional.

No matter how hard she worked with Zhao Yuanxun and the Zhu family in those years, the Hou Mansion was going downhill day by day, and when the Hou Mansion was demoted to the Bo Mansion, she was directly disheartened, and she didn't dare to think that she could restore her original glory.

Unexpectedly, in only two or three years, Zhao Ruxi directly took Bofu away, first apprenticed to make people dare not look down on Bofu, and then showed his talent to make people look down on Bofu, and asked his father for an official position, and now he has taken the top exam and become a princess.

If I were in the capital now, I would definitely be the object of everyone's flattery when I went to the banquet, and the treatment was very different from what I did three years ago, right?

She used to always pin her hopes on her children and grandchildren, but she didn't think that in the end, it was her granddaughter who restored the glory of Bofu, and she was still a granddaughter who was replaced and raised outside since she was a child.

This made her heart very complicated, and she didn't know how to be good to Zhao Ruxi in order to repay her for everything she brought to Suiping Bofu.

"You write to ask again to see if the wedding date is set. Our family is now divided into two places, and we can't spend the New Year together, and I don't know how Sister Xi's dowry is going. ”

Knowing that Zhao Ruxi was given to marry the King of Qi, she wanted to go to Nanyang to Zhang Luo's relatives, but the Zhu family and Zhao Ruxi persuaded her in letters.

Zhao Ruxi said that everything is polite, and Zhang Luo of the Ministry of Etiquette; Zhu said that it is winter now, Gusu is a little warmer than Nanyang, and it is better for her body to stay in Gusu. As long as she takes care of her health and is healthy, she is doing everyone a great favor.

As soon as Zhu said this, the old lady no longer mentioned going to Nanyang, and stayed in Gusu honestly.

Winter is the season when the elderly are most likely to get sick. If she goes to Nanyang and accidentally gets sick on the road or in Nanyang, not only will the Zhu family not be able to spare energy to do things for Zhao Ruxi, but even Zhao Ruxi will not be able to work with peace of mind. She didn't go to help, but to make trouble.
