At the time of the autumn harvest, the officials of the entire household department were hanging, and they all wanted to go to Anqing Mansion to count the output of new grain.

When the results came out, the household officials were boiling.

The yield per mu of new grain is really three times that of old grain!

If it is promoted nationwide, how many people's stomachs can be filled with three times as much food?

In the event of a famine, the imperial court did not have to pick and search, and it could not take out much relief food.

In the last dynasty, the head of the household department praised the head of Qingyu County, and advocated that the new grain varieties should be promoted throughout the country starting next year.

The emperor was also very happy, more grain, meant more taxes.

The treasury is full, and all departments don't have to cry poverty with him every day.

Popularize! Must be promoted!

Of course, what made the emperor happiest was that the beet sugar workshop in the southern suburbs had an output, and the twenty percent of the profits given to him by the county lord of Qingyu went into his private treasury!

The birth of beet candy also quickly swept the entire capital and gradually spread to the entire north.

In the past, sugar was a luxury for ordinary people.

Nowadays, the price of beet candy is moderate, and even budget-conscious families will prepare a pack or two to entertain guests, or make some sweets during the New Year's holidays, and the adults and children in the family will be happy.

Elemental Sakura took out a series of candy recipes and handed them to Zhuo Lao Er, so the people in the capital found that Zhuo's pastry shop had a lot of colorful candies.

These candies instantly became a fashionable food in the capital, and they had to be prepared at home, and they had to be loaded with gifts.

In addition to the changes between the capital and the north, Cangyuan Mansion in the south has also become a hot topic this year.

In previous years, when everyone mentioned Cangyuan Mansion, there were only two impressions, remote, and poor.

Even if there is a herring fish county later, it is just that corner.

But now, Cangyuan Mansion is planting sugarcane on a large scale, and has opened a number of cane sugar workshops, business is booming, and its fame is becoming more and more prosperous, and even the entire Cangyuan Mansion has begun to build roads to facilitate the transportation of cane sugar.

The other provinces in the south are all red-eyed!

Cangyuan's Governor Lu touched his beard and smiled, who told you that there was no herring county lord in your territory?

When everyone heard about the deeds in the north, there was envy and jealousy in their hearts.

Why is the county lord of Qingyu who keeps having golden ideas not from their family?

For a time, the Ministry of Officials received many books and newspapers from local officials asking the Lord of Qingyu County to make money, and the head of the Ministry of Officials was also unable to laugh or cry.

Is this kind of thing just a matter of crying and shouting?

However, Zhuo Hanlin has almost saved up qualifications in the Hanlin Academy.

It is estimated that he will be able to go out next year and go to the local government to be a real official, and the county lord of Qingyu will definitely go together at that time.

With the county lord of herring fish here, is that place still prosperous? I don't know which boundary was cheaper in the end.

The emperor was also asking Zhuo Fan this question: "Zhuo Qing, you have worked well in the Hanlin Academy in the past two years, and you will be released next year, do you have any ideas for yourself?" ”

In fact, what the emperor wanted to ask was whether the county lord of Qingyu had any ideas.

Because wherever the county lord of herring goes, he will definitely be able to drive the development of the place, so the emperor is very willing to sell the face of the county lord of herring.

As long as the county lord of Qingyu is willing, she can choose the place.

Zhuo Fan was not in a hurry: "Saint, I am willing to go to the North Star Mansion." ”

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

The emperor choked directly, and looked at Zhuo Fan with incredible eyes: "You...... This...... Has Zhuo Qing ever discussed with the county lord of Qingyu? ”

Zhuo Changtian, an elm head, is not good at picking something, and he runs to the border town, does he think it will be long?

He can't wait to provide for the county lord of Qingyu, how can he send her to such a dangerous and bitter cold place?

Zhuo Fan replied: "Returning to the Holy Lord, it is the county lord's intention to go to the North Star Mansion. ”

The emperor stopped talking, and waved his hand for a long time: "I understand the meaning of Zhuo Qing and the county lord of Qingyu, and I will think about it again." ”

Zhuo Fan bowed and retired, not worried at all that the emperor would not agree.

After Zhuo Fan left the palace, the Marquis of Dingxiang followed closely into the palace to face the saint.

Hearing about the intention of the Marquis of Dingxiang, the emperor's jaw dropped in shock:

"Brother-in-law, you are also going to the North Star Mansion? Your legs ......"

Dingxiang Marquis smiled: "With God's blessing, the minister's legs are already good, even if he goes into battle to kill the enemy!" ”

The emperor was pleased: "Good, good! God bless my right country, you have a brother-in-law and you are personally sitting in Beixing Mansion, and the pacification of the Beinu people is just around the corner! ”

Dingxiang Hou asked: "Zhuo Hanlin and the county lord of Qingyu are going to Beixing Mansion?" ”

Hearing this, the emperor sighed: "It's not, but in such a dangerous place as Beixing Mansion, if the county lord of Qingyu goes out of business, it will be a huge loss for our Xuyou country." ”

Dingxiang Marquis smiled: "Why doesn't the emperor think about the good?" The county lord of Qingyu may be able to make the North Star Mansion rich?

In the future, if the North Star Mansion encounters another war, there is no need to ask the court for money, and there is no need to be nervous. ”

The emperor thought for a while, and his eyes lit up: "That's right, Beixing Mansion is a big problem, and the county lord of Qingyu is a golden hand, so he can't make it a big problem?"

Okay, okay, I'll say hello to the officials. ”

Dingxiang Hou asked: "How does the emperor plan to arrange Zhuo Changtian?" ”

The emperor was stunned: "Zhuo Changtian is now a Qipin Hanlin, and he was transferred to the border town under the jurisdiction of Beixing Mansion to be the magistrate of the county, and he was in charge of the affairs of a town, and his power was no less than that of the prefect in other places."

Is there anything wrong with my brother-in-law asking this? ”

Marquis Dingxiang shook his head: "Your Majesty, think about it, you sent Zhuo Changtian on the surface, but you actually sent the county lord of Qingyu.

The county lord of Qingyu can even bring up the huge Cangyuan Mansion, is a border town enough for her to play?

Your Majesty, if you think about it again, the county lord of Qingyu will definitely make an immortal contribution, and the title will definitely not be able to run away at that time.

But she is already the county lord with real power, and if she rises further, does the emperor want to give her the entire Cangyuan Mansion and let her rule it? ”

When the emperor heard this, he immediately shook his head: "That can't, it's too much, it's too much."

In the past dynasties, there have never been a few county lords with real power, and the only few have made great contributions at the beginning of the founding of the country.

I named the Tian clan as the county lord of Qingyu, and let her take charge of the financial power of Qingyu County, which is already an exception, and then promoted to the county lord with real power, I am afraid that the ancestors will jump out of the imperial tomb and scold me. ”

Dingxiang Marquis said: "It is this reason, but the merits of the county lord of Qingyu are there, and it is chilling not to seal her, so this title can only fall on Zhuo Changtian's head."

Zhuo Changtian's title naturally has no real power, that is, he has money and scenery, and he can pass it on to the step-son of the county lord of Qingyu in the future, which can be regarded as giving the county lord of Qingyu benefits, and she is naturally satisfied.

Therefore, now that the emperor has transferred Zhuo Changtian to Beixing Mansion, he can't follow the promotion path of ordinary officials, but has to compare the status and merits of the county lord of Qingyu.

Qingyu County is mainly a man, and now he is willing to go to Beixing Mansion to serve the emperor, so what identity does he have to be worthy? ”

The emperor suddenly realized: "It must be a feudal official!" ”

Dingxiang Hou nodded: "There are some things that the county lord of Qingyu is not good to come forward, so he can only fall on Zhuo Changtian's head, and he will not give him the administrative power of the Beixing Mansion, how can the officials under him be willing to listen to the county lord of Qingyu and a female stream?"

Anyway, Zhuo Changtian will have a knighthood on his head sooner or later, and now he is given a temporary title of high-ranking official, what can he do?

What's more, the minister and the eldest princess also have to go to the North Star Mansion to help the emperor watch it. ”

When the emperor heard this, he nodded again and again: "Brother-in-law, you have a point, with you and An Qing watching, I have nothing to worry about." ”
