Chapter 152: Becoming Gongmi
However, before the wishful thinking of those rice merchants sounded, His Majesty the Emperor's will came down, and the special concubine rice was given as tribute rice.
After receiving the decree of His Majesty the Emperor, Yang's legs are soft, she is a country woman, where have she seen any holy decrees! I never thought that my son's business would be done with His Majesty the Emperor. She had a stomach full of questions she wanted to ask, but the adult who announced the decree was still there, so naturally she could only endure it.
And the prefectural magistrate is still groveling on the side.
Originally, Zhao Linxian handed over those rice! He stayed in his warehouse! I never thought that Zhao Linxian would have such a backstage and be able to present the rice directly to His Majesty.
The adult who came to announce the decree was Lord Guo, a student of Lord Wang, and this rice was presented to His Majesty by Lord Wang, so Lord Guo was naturally very kind to Zhao Linxian.
Zhao Linxian took the holy decree, and asked Lord Guo and the county magistrate to go in for tea, and Lord Guo said that His Majesty loves the rice.
To say that today's Majesty is already in his fifties, and several princes under his knees have grown up, so His Majesty is inevitably a little late, his appetite is not as good as back then, and he eats very little.
Lord Wang presented this rice, because the rice is round and jade, and soft and glutinous, His Majesty the Emperor immediately ate a big bowl of rice, and said that this rice does not need to be eaten with side dishes, just eating a few bowls.
The main thing is that Yan Mi's appearance is pleasing to her, and today's most favored concubine Niangniang is also quite fond of it. I don't know if it's a psychological effect, His Majesty the Emperor has eaten rice for two days in a row, and he feels a lot more comfortable, and the concubine Niangniang also feels that her face is better.
This makes the rice a tribute.
Lord Guo also questioned the county magistrate why he was in charge of the grain payment here, but he did not report it to the Internal Affairs Office, and His Majesty the Emperor and the concubine Niangniang, who were almost harmed, could not eat such good rice.
The county magistrate was questioned like this, and almost knelt down, but quickly explained that he hadn't reported it yet, and there were too many things.
Where is there too much to do, but it is the county order and Su Rongchang combined, waiting for the rice to be snatched over, and then let the county order be offered, this is good, stealing chickens is not a loss of rice.
However, the county magistrate has been immersed in the circle for many years, so he naturally knows that there is no substantial evidence to prove that he can not report it, and there is no way to take him.
Sure enough, Master Guo just spoke, and then stopped talking.
There are still a few officials who entertain Lord Guo, and it is not enough for a cook to be busy, Su Yuyan and Yang have all gone into the kitchen to help.
Su Yuyan's cooking skills have nothing to say, of course, she is in charge, and Yang is responsible for washing and cutting vegetables.
Yang still hasn't calmed down a little in his heart, and while there are three people in the kitchen now, he said, "Daughter-in-law, why didn't you tell me and your father in advance!" When you went up to Fucheng, you went to do business with Your Majesty, what does this tribute rice mean? Does His Majesty the Emperor buy rice from us to eat? ”
Su Yuyan smiled: "Mother, Your Majesty eats rice, how can you pay back the money!" It is our blessing to be able to be favored by His Majesty. ”
Yang's head was a little unturned: "That's right, we really shouldn't ask for Your Majesty's money, but if we give all the rice to Your Majesty, what good will it do us!" ”
Su Yuyan said patiently while stir-frying: "Mother, we croppers all have to pay grain and pay tribute, and this grain is paid according to the area of the field, and the ordinary rice enters the treasury of the county commander, and the county magistrate will hand it over or retain it." And our rice, before the supply to His Majesty in the future, there is no need to give the county order, there is no loss for us. And our rice has been labeled as tribute rice, but not everyone is qualified to buy it, and the people we will sell in the future are people with status. ”
After listening to his daughter-in-law's words, Yang understood it completely, and nodded: "That is to say, our rice is eaten by His Majesty, and if anyone dares to disrespect this rice, it is disrespectful to His Majesty." ”
Su Yuyan smiled: "That's it. ”
The Yang family is angry again, and his own rice will have the backer of His Majesty the Emperor in the future, see who dares to lower the price casually.
Lord Guo was entertained with delicious food and drink, and said that Zhao Linxian had a good life, he had such a beautiful wife, and his parents were also there, and now the rice he planted has become tribute rice.
Zhao Linxian was indifferent to being praised, and Yang and Su Yuyan were indescribably happy in their hearts.
After sending away Lord Guo and the county magistrate, Zhao Linxian pondered and immediately rented a rice to spread down, with a tribute rice plaque given by His Majesty the Emperor, this is a holy decree, and no one dares to move.
Moreover, the rice was still in Dongzhuang Village, which was also inconvenient, so they also rented a large warehouse in the town.
This town is even more chaotic than the village, when I was in the village, I rented the ancestral hall and sent someone to guard it, and there was nothing to do, but in the town, there were many things to think about, and if someone with red eyes came to make trouble, a warehouse could be destroyed at once.
So Zhao Linxian also asked Chen Zihao for help, asking him not to do it in the dart game, and to bring a few brothers to do it with him.
Zhao Linxian was originally kind to Chen Zihao, but now that he has opened this mouth, Chen Zihao has no disagreement, so he agreed.
Zhao Linxian thought that he was planting more and more fields, and he also needed people around him, and more importantly, now that he was a person who planted tribute rice, he had to be more or less guarded, otherwise something would happen, and the family would suffer.
Since Chen Zihao is willing to follow him, he will definitely not be disadvantaged.
After renting a shop and a warehouse, Zhao Linxian took the group back to Dongzhuang Village to move rice.
Originally, there was no need for the women of the family to help with the matter of moving rice, but Yang was not ridiculed last time she went back, this time she had to go back and let everyone see if she would return to the village again.
Zhao Linxian couldn't resist his mother, so he agreed.
Since the Yang family went, he also called Su Yuyan to go back together, so that the family had a companion.
When I got home, I looked at the mighty group of people in Lao Zhao's house, and everyone in the village gathered around to watch the excitement.
The most anxious belongs to the Wang family, hearing that San Lang is going home, and it is still mighty, she subconsciously thinks that she is moving back, she has to rush to see the excitement first!
But the guy who came back from moving didn't see it, but there were a lot of carriages, and he didn't have time to think about what was going on! I heard my mother-in-law Yang's loud voice already shouting.
"Oh, the last time I came back, everyone thought that I couldn't live in the town, and I wanted to go back to this village to live, but if I didn't say anything, people would have a life! I don't cooperate with the rice merchants, and I also scolded the rice merchants, and I really felt relieved! ”
Wang thinks that her mother-in-law is not crazy! "Mother, you have offended all the rice merchants, do you suffer this rice yourself?"
Yang just didn't explain directly, so he hung his appetite first: "What are those rice merchants!" A group of villains, my family, don't want to be with them at all. ”
The people around laughed.
"Aunt Yang, are you stimulated by something! But I couldn't stand this for anyone, so I finally went to town, and suddenly I couldn't do it again. ”
"San Lang damn it, I'll see if you want to tell fortunes! Look at you San Lang, you thought he could take the exam, but he didn't succeed. Now it's like this again, I've been a layman, and it's not good for two days, and it's not good again. ”
"I don't think Saburo is a rich and noble person, he has a small head, not big ears, and no big belly. Let's think about the other members, who is not fat-headed and fat-brained. ”
Yang was not happy when he heard this, and said "bah": "Whoever said that he would look like a pig's head would be blessed, and the pig was fat!" Why is it still being eaten! said that my San Lang is not blessed, what do you know, did you see that our San Lang brought someone to load rice? You know why? Because the rice that my son planted became tribute rice. ”
Everyone was stunned when they heard it.
Yang continued: "Do you know what Gongmi is? It is offered to His Majesty the Emperor to eat, that is to say, even His Majesty the Emperor loves to eat my rice! also sent a plaque to San Lang, with the word tribute rice written on it, from now on, whoever dares to fight the evil idea of our rice will be against His Majesty the Emperor. ”
Wang swallowed his saliva: "Mother, is what you said true?" Our rice has become tribute rice! ”
Yang corrected her: "It's not our family's rice, it's Saburo's rice, and it has nothing to do with you." Of course, there are also shovel owners who can take advantage of it. Yu Yan said it! In the future, our tribute rice will be sold to people with status, even the royal relatives in the capital, they will come to buy it, after all, it is the rice that His Majesty the Emperor likes to eat! Who doesn't want to eat. ”
Everyone obviously couldn't believe it, but when they saw Yang's snort, they couldn't believe it, if it wasn't true, could Mrs. Yang be so sassy?
Let's talk about Jiang. The clan also had a smile on her face, dotting inside and out, and looking at the Wang family again, she really became an outsider, and the benefits of the San Lang family were not reaped at all.
The Yang family came back on purpose, and he wanted to kill the arrogance of the Wang family, and the Wang family is not bad-hearted, but his heart is too small, and he always can't see the good of others, even if it is his own brother, he wants to pull her along! I'm afraid of losing, it's no wonder if she doesn't get angry this time!
As soon as the convoy carrying grain left, Wang was lying on the bed again, and it was a very serious kind, Zhao Tiezhu boiled porridge and brought it to her to persuade her to eat something.
Wang Shi wanted to die and said, "What am I eating!" I don't eat it, just die, what do you mean, look at that posture, it's just coming back to anger me. ”
Zhao Tiezhu sighed: "If you don't look forward to San Lang every day, can you be angry today?" I said a long time ago, San Lang traveled from south to north, and he knew a lot of people, so he wouldn't be defeated like this, don't you believe it. Besides, you are a sister-in-law, can you be broad-minded. ”
Wang became excited again: "I have a small heart, so do you treat me as a sister-in-law!" Do you understand the sentence that the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, when did you see the second and third children come to honor me, the eldest sister-in-law. Zhao Tiezhu, you know it in your own heart! Since I married you, I have not enjoyed happiness, when I first came to your house, the poor jingle, and then a little better, and the family was separated again, and your brother still saw the money, and did not treat us as a family. ”
I don't know who is going to break up!
Zhao Tiezhu didn't want to fight with her, so he only said: "Otherwise, let's also put Tian and San Lang together!" ”
