Chapter 850: The Upper Dynasty

Coming out of the palace, Du Jinning saw Qi Muyuan still waiting for her at the palace gate.

She wasn't surprised.

Because the men and women were separated, neither of them knew when they would disperse, so they agreed to go separately, and although they came in the same carriage, an empty carriage followed.

But if something like that happened, Qi Muyuan would definitely not worry about her, and he would wait for her to go home together.

Qi Muyuan greeted him and asked, "Grandfather hasn't come out yet?" ”

Du Jinning nodded: "They are discussing how to distribute hybrid rice." ”

Qi Muyuan didn't ask any more, helped her into the carriage, and ordered the carriage to start, then he took her into his arms and said, "I asked people to check the traces of the princess of Anqing County recently, and found that the second lady of the Jiang family was deliberately approaching her. ”

"The Jiang family?" Du Jinning raised his eyebrows and smiled understandingly, "I see." ”

After Du Jinning disappeared, he was found in the Jiang family's courtyard, because he saw the fate of the Zhang family and the Zhao family, the head of the Jiang family directly raised the white flag to Zhao Yu in panic and gave up many rights.

He didn't dare to resent Zhao Yu, but Du Jinning could be bullied. The rumors in the city were quickly suppressed, and they wanted to embarrass Du Jinning at the banquet.

Knowing that Zhao Yu valued Du Jinning, and was also worried about Qi Bokun and Qi Muyuan's revenge, they didn't dare to go into battle by themselves, so they conveniently used Gong Shi, the princess of Anqing County, who also hated Du Jinning because her sister was beheaded.

Du Jinning asked again: "After I had a quarrel with the Gong family today, did the second lady of the Jiang family tell her?" ”

Qi Muyuan shook his head: "That's not true." ”

The corners of Du Jinning's mouth hooked up: "Then these two are half a catty and eight taels, and they are a raccoon dog." ”

"I have already handed over the evidence of Second Lady Jiang's intention to approach the Gong clan to the King of Anqing County." Qi Mu is far away.

Du Jinning couldn't help laughing, leaned over and kissed Qi Muyuan on the cheek: "Well done." ”

People are selfish, and once they make mistakes, they blame others for the cause.

The king of Qing'an was originally a man with his tail between his legs, for fear of becoming the object of liquidation. After today's incident, he naturally hated Gong deeply. Once he learned that the Gong family was used as a gunman by the Jiang family, he would definitely fight with the Jiang family.

It's also good to let them two dog-eat-dog, a mouthful of hair.

"Huh." Du Jinning sneered, "This head of the Jiang family can't figure it out, and he came to provoke me at this time." You should report the affairs of the Jiang family to the emperor, the emperor will definitely be happy, and this is an excuse to minimize the share of the Jiang family on the voyage. ”

As soon as Du Jinning disappeared, the Zhang family and the Zhao family suffered, and the fleet went to sea to sail without the share of these two families. The Jiang family has no most powerful competitor, it is really honest and unkind, and directly seized the largest share except for the court. Now that they have succeeded in going to sea, they have made a lot of profits. After doing this a few times, the strength of the Jiang family can be improved by several steps.

If they didn't provoke Du Jinning, Zhao Yu would see that they had already conceded a lot in power, and turn a blind eye to the Jiang family's contention in terms of money. But they wanted to make a stupid move to provoke Du Jinning. Not to mention Du Jinning's contribution to high-yield rice and the few kilns he sent before, just the advice he gave to Zhao Yu just now can make Zhao Yu not let go of anyone who stretches out his claws to Du Jinning.

"Someone has been arranged." Qi Muyuan said, "As soon as my grandfather and the others leave, my people will report this matter to the emperor." ”

"Okay, let's not talk about them." Du Jinning leaned on his arms, his heart was sweet.

In the past, she used to work alone, but now she doesn't have to speak, and someone teaches her a lesson, which is a great feeling.

She looked up at Qi Muyuan: "After the seedlings are inserted, I plan to go back to Gui Province." My grandfather is old and not in good health, and I want to go back and see him. ”

Qi Muyuan lowered his head and kissed her, the corners of his mouth hooked: "It's okay." ”

The two grew up together and have been friends for many years, and they usually discuss with each other about anything. So although Du Jinning didn't say something just now, he could understand.

It's true that I want to go back to see Du Chensheng, but it's more than that.

The rice with high yields has come out, and although the yield is not low, it is still a drop in the bucket compared to the rice fields around the capital, let alone the rice fields of the whole country.

It can be seen from the performance of those ladies at today's banquet that as soon as the news of the sale of rice seeds is released, it will definitely attract commotion. When the time comes, the officials who are familiar with each other say hello, do you want to leave it for him? Leave it for him, what about the others? Besides, who doesn't have a family or friend?

Therefore, Du Jinning is the best choice to leave Beijing at this time.

Anyway, she doesn't want a penny of the income from rice seeds, and all of them are handed over to the household department for special use, so the sale of rice seeds will naturally be a headache for the household department. The person who buys the rice seed will naturally be grateful to her; If you can't buy it, don't be resentful, this has nothing to do with Du Jinning.

"Don't use the guise of visiting relatives." Qi Muyuan said, "Isn't it necessary to repair water conservancy after the rice seeds are sold?" You are from Gui Province, and now that you have a good income, you naturally want to give back to your neighbors, so take the proceeds from this time to Gui Province to build a reservoir or something. You are a big Sinon, and it is your job to repair water conservancy, you go to see it in person, and others can only say that you are dedicated. ”

"Haha, that's a great idea, and it's very close to my heart." Du Jinning reached out and rubbed his cheek, "Why are you so smart." ”

Qi Muyuan grabbed her chaotic hand in his hand and said, "When the time comes, I will find a case in Gui Province and go over with you." ”

"Will the emperor agree?" Du Jinning asked.

Qi Muyuan glanced at her: "You still don't know how important you are to Da Song?" He pointed to the streets that were still very lively when it was almost dark, "You have at least thirty percent of the credit for these prosperity." ”

When Du Jinning was busy in Zhuangzi every day, Zhao Yu had already asked people to get out the silver tickets and ID cards, and it took four months to complete the issuance of the first generation of ID cards. After a series of decrees were issued, the entire Great Song Dynasty let go of the road guide.

Although it has only been half a month since the road guide was released, the capital is really becoming more and more lively day by day at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.

Du Jinning is too important to Da Song, she wants to go far away, even if Qi Muyuan doesn't say it, Zhao Yu will send him to protect Du Jinning.

……

On the second day, Du Jinning got up early in the morning, put on his court clothes after washing.

"Alas, I have a wife with a higher official rank than me, and I am under a lot of pressure." Qi Muyuan looked at the complement on Du Jinning's court clothes and was very emotional.

Du Jinning laughed out loud and patted Qi Muyuan's strong chest: "Xiao Qi, if you spread this, you will be beaten to death." ”

Du Jinning's promotion was as fast as taking a plane, and he went directly from the sixth grade to the third grade; Qi Muyuan, who is step-by-step, is not slow to be promoted.

When Du Jinning ended his disappearance, Qi Muyuan was directly promoted to the fifth rank because of his meritorious service in the process of clearing the family, and he had the qualifications to go to the court; Some time ago, he investigated a case and made a meritorious service, it happened that someone in Dali Temple was a scholar, and his boss moved a position forward, Zhao Yu was stunned to withstand the opposition of the courtiers, and promoted Qi Muyuan up, making him a fourth-grade official, which was only two levels lower than Du Jinning.

Guan Jiaze, Fang Shaohua and others, who were in the same session as the two of them, were promoted from the seventh grade to the sixth grade because they were evaluated for excellence after the three-year period. And more people are still standing still.

"I'm in the court, and my grandfather's pressure is great." Du Jinning sighed, "In the future, I will go to court less." Next time the emperor wants to promote you, you should also excuse yourself, don't rise too fast and put pressure on your grandfather. ”

Although Qi Wencong is an idle position, he is also a third-grade official. Qi Bokun is the first product, Du Jinning is the third product, Qi Muyuan is the fourth product, and the family of four is standing in the court, which is really not in line with the court's official standards.

"I was about to tell you this. My grandfather told me that his position was going to be moved in the near future, and my father was going to be released. Qi Mu said from afar.

Qi Bokun's position was going to change, which was completely unexpected by Du Jinning.

Sanqing and Six Ministries, with Qi Muyuan's qualifications and status in front of Zhao Yu, it is no problem to occupy the position of Sanqing. At that time, the reason why he became the secretary of the ministry was because he wanted to firmly control the right to assign officials for Zhao Yu. Once such an important position is occupied by the family, Zhao Yu will be constrained if he wants to transfer and place officials, and as the emperor, he will not be able to be independent of who is the official or what he will do, and he will only be a puppet for the rest of his life.

If it weren't for Du Jinning suddenly becoming a big Si Nong, Qi Muyuan's official position was too low and he was not worthy of Du Jinning, Zhao Yu still wanted Qi Bokun to sit down in that position. It is better to use no one than to use Qi Bokun to reassure him.

The couple went out and got into the carriage, ate two pieces of snacks on the carriage to cushion their stomachs, and arrived at the palace. I don't dare to drink tea, for fear that something will happen when I go to court.

Entered the palace and walked all the way inside.

Du Jinning is wearing a three-grade men's official uniform today, combed in a man's bun, dressed up in her original men's clothes. At first, people didn't pay attention. When Du Jinning entered the main hall and stood behind Wu Zheng, everyone's eyes widened as if they had discovered a new continent. There was a particularly upright person, pointing at Du Jinning and almost calling out.

Du Jinning looked calm, and greeted the people he knew: "Lord Wu, it's early." Lord Chen, you ...... early."

"Haha, Lord Du is early." As if he didn't know that she was coming to the court, Lord Chen replied with a smile and asked, "Lord Du, this is the high-yield rice harvest has been completed, and you have time to go to the court?" ”

Such a sentence explains why Du Jinning did not go to the court and is standing here today.

"Not really." Before Du Jinning could answer, Wu Zheng snatched the words, "Didn't you see that Wu didn't have time to go to court some time ago?" Standing here with Lord Du today, it is natural that the early rice harvest has been completed. ”

As soon as the words "high-yield rice" came out, everyone's attention was attracted there, and no one thought about Du Jinning's going to court.

"Master Du, how many stone rice have you harvested in your 500 acres of land?"

"Four thousand stones." Du Jinning said. The number will be reported in a moment, and there is nothing that cannot be said.

Everyone exclaimed.

"Can late rice be planted in an expanded area?" Someone asked.

"Time can't catch up, and it can only be expanded tomorrow spring." Du Jinning explained the reason to the ladies yesterday again.

It's a pity for everyone. Just as she was about to ask her how to get the rice seeds, she heard the eunuch shout, and Zhao Yu walked out of it. Everyone quickly fell silent.

After everyone saluted, the eunuch's high voice sounded again: "If there is something to start, there is nothing to retreat." ”

Before his voice fell, Zhao Yu raised his hand to stop the minister who was about to come out and looked at Du Jinning: "Du Aiqing, can the yield of high-yield rice come out?" The eagerness is beyond words, which shows the importance he attaches to this matter.

Du Jinning hurriedly came out: "After removing the weight of moisture from the wet rice, the flat area yields eight stones per mu. 500 acres of land produced a total of 4,000 stone of rice. ”

There was a sudden sound of inhalation in the main hall.

Rao was originally aware of the yield of eight stones per mu, but now when he heard that the grain of 500 acres of land was 4,000 stones, everyone still felt very shocked.

Zhao Yu was not enough, and asked, "Four thousand stones, this is just the yield of early rice, right?" With the addition of late rice, wouldn't the grain yield of these 500 acres of land reach 8,000 stones? ”

"If the wind and rain are smooth, it will be no problem for eight thousand stones." Du Jinning said.

The yield of late rice is higher than that of high rice, so Du Jinning is still sure of this yield.

Sure enough, as soon as the words "eight thousand stones" came out, there was another sound of inhalation in the hall.

In ancient times, the emperor had to pretend to go to the field to hoe twice to show his attention, and the officials no longer knew how much grain could be produced in 500 acres of land. Based on the yield of one mu and two stones, five hundred mu of double-cropping rice is two thousand stone of grain.

Now, it's quadruple.

Thinking about the piles of grain that looked like a hill, every official felt that the Great Song Dynasty might not be hungry anymore.

"There is no hunger in the world", the dream of all people from ancient times to the present day has been realized in their time, and everyone is so excited that they can't help themselves.

The people who had complained a lot about Du Jinning and his female stream standing in this court, especially those who were still standing in front of them, closed their mouths one by one, and they were convinced.

Du Jinning is not qualified, who is eligible?

Agriculture is the foundation of the country. When food is abundant and the people live and work in peace and contentment, prosperity is not far away. Who can make an era prosperous with their own strength? No one dared to say this in the Tang Dynasty, but Du Jinning did it!

Zhao Yu thought that Du Jinning would immediately say the proposal to build the road, but he didn't want Du Jinning to say this, so he bowed and retreated.

After the two ministers discussed other matters, and Cao Hongsheng returned from the voyage on behalf of Cao Hongsheng, Du Jinning came out to put forward a proposal to build the road.

At first, everyone was still unimpressed. Everyone knows that building roads is good, but it costs money to build roads. But as soon as the method of erecting a monument and cash-for-work came out, everyone's eyes on Du Jinning changed.

The minister felt that the method of cashing out work had all the benefits and no harm, and it was extremely feasible. The minister agreed with Lord Du's proposal. Wu Zheng was the first to stand up in support.

"Master Du's method is very clever, and the minister thinks it is feasible." Lord Chen, the head of the household department, said immediately.

"The minister seconded the proposal."

"The minister seconded the proposal."

Before a few old ministers could stand up to support Du Jinning, a bunch of people stood up and seconded the proposal.

Just kidding, this kind of thing doesn't hurt their interests. supported Lord Du in the court, at least he could sell face when he bought rice seeds, right? If not seconded at this time, when?

Hong Huazhong and the others were dumbfounded, and hurriedly came out to second. Otherwise, they become outliers.
