In the sky washed by flying snow, the mirror is like the best black jade, and the stars are bright and dark like diamonds. The morning star of the east, shining with silver light. Gradually, the sky outside the palace city turned pale...
If it wasn't for the low temperature in the early morning of winter and the unmelted snow all around, Yu Xiaocao would still be in the mood to appreciate the ancient pure and pollution-free sky. At this time, she was wearing a silver-gray cloak outside her dark red official robe, a scarf made of fox fur was tied around her neck, and the warmer sleeves on her hands were also thick mink fur inside. The leather boots under the feet, even with thick fur pads, still can't resist the chill from the soles of the feet.
She wrapped her thick cloak and glanced into the hall. With her humble official position, there is no place for her in the hall. She was so miserable that she could only stand on the porch outside the hall, blowing a little chilly wind, that taste was sour enough!
What happened to the two elders inside? Did she deliberately tease her? It's such a big matter that I've been arguing for a long time! Fortunately, fortunately, there is a purple gold copper hand warmer stuffed in front of the palace by Yangjun Wang in the hand warmer sleeves. It is warm and warms into the heart...
"Master Yu, the Agricultural Affairs Officer of the Xuanhu Department, entered the palace—"Huh? Isn't it Mr. Su who is following the emperor today? It's a pity, I haven't seen Mr. Su for a long time, his appearance without a trace of mortal air is strangely missed.
Yu Xiaocao's brain, I don't know if it was frozen, and she still has time to think about these messy things. Dressed like a little bear, she knelt on the ground clumsily to the emperor on the golden throne. After seeing the ceremony of the monarch and his ministers, she sang praises and compliments, but was interrupted by several sneezes!
Zhu Junyang looked over with concern. The little girl's body is not very good, no matter how much she eats, she won't gain weight. She is thin and weak, and he can almost pinch her slender waist with one hand. The cold wind blowing outside the hall for so long just now, won't you get sick? He frowned gradually, thinking about going down, and invited the director of the Imperial Hospital to see the little girl.
"Hey! Is this a cold? It's my negligence, I shouldn't have kept you waiting outside the hall for so long!" Zhu Junfan's casual tone and intimate demeanor all showed his preference for this lady, "Get up quickly Come here, bring a chair for Master Yu. If she is sick, the sheds in Huangzhuang will be left unattended, and all the families in our palace will have to eat carrots and cabbage during the Chinese New Year!"
Just now, they were deliberately delaying time, wanting to give Yu Xiaocao a blow to the elders, the expressions on their faces froze. Why did you forget to find fault? As soon as winter comes in previous years, in addition to all kinds of meat and dried vegetables, that is, radish and cabbage, there are also some dry winter vegetables. Since the beginning of winter this year, they haven't felt any changes on the dinner table. All kinds of delicious vegetables, melons and fruits made them almost forget the previous tragedy.
After being mentioned by the emperor, they immediately realized that if this skinny little girl really suffered from cold disease, would they have to go back to the old days and bite the bullet and eat the few kinds of food that they would have long since tired of eating? Got vegetables
Thinking about it this way, no one protested even the favor of Yu Xiaocao being allowed to sit in the hall.
"Yu Aiqing! I heard that the greenhouse on the Zhuangzi has doubled in size? And the variety of vegetables has also increased a lot?" There must be a name for rewarding others, right? Zhu Junfan asked about the projects that filled his small coffers, as if he was doing homework.
This is related to the livelihood of civil and military officials. The current vegetables and fruits are sold in limited quantities, and the quantity that each family can buy is only a few dishes. And I went a little later, and I couldn't even see the bottom of the dishes. Few of the civil and military officials in the main hall have not heard their wives say that the production of vegetables in the greenhouse is too small. The steward in charge of purchasing also cried to them, saying that every time they lined up to buy, it was like fighting a tough battle. A little negligence may prevent the masters from eating fresh vegetables, and the pressure is too great. Expanding the planting volume of greenhouse vegetables is something that everyone here is happy to see.
Yu Xiaocao, who was sitting comfortably on a thickly padded chair, held a warm hand warmer in her hands, and finally managed to squeeze out a smile on her frozen face: "Go back to the emperor, grow up!" The planting area of green leafy vegetables with a slightly shorter growth period has reached 500 mu. The melon and fruit vegetables with a slightly longer growth period have also nearly doubled. There is also good news, that is, within ten days, vegetables such as cucumbers, eggplants, A batch of melon and fruit vegetables such as beans and tomatoes will be on the market, and the daily vegetable purchase should be able to double!"
Can the daily vegetable supply be doubled? One month later, when the newly expanded greenhouse vegetables are on the market, won't we be able to buy more vegetables? Maybe when the Chinese New Year comes, the limited purchase of vegetables will be released, so that everyone can have a relaxed New Year! All civil and military officials looked at each other, and they all saw a trace of joy in each other's eyes.
Yu Xiaocao's words were interrupted by several coughs. The two elders who deliberately had an argument to delay the time just now were stared at with accusing eyes. They themselves are also full of remorse. The vegetables in the greenhouses in the village are now in the time of employment. If Mr. Xiaoyu is ill, will it affect the vegetable supply plan
Mr. Zhang, the political adviser, hurriedly said: "Master Yu, your errand is related to the livelihood of the people in Beijing, so you have to take good care of yourself! Your Majesty, I beg the imperial doctor to feel the pulse of Mr. Yu. After being outside for so long, it is time to take care of yourself." Even a strong military officer can't stand it!"
"Uh... Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your concern. I know a little bit about medicine myself, so I won't bother the imperial physicians!" There are a few old fellows in the imperial physicians who don't like her. Bitter medicine for her.
Zhu Junfan seemed to see through her thoughts, and said with a smile: "Doctors don't heal themselves. Since everyone cares about you so much, why don't you... let Doctor Wang come over to show you?"
Doctor Wang? When she was seeing the little prince, she realized that this imperial doctor's medical skills were not satisfactory, but his character was seriously bad! She cured the little prince's illness with earthen prescriptions, and that old guy hated her for stealing the limelight. If he was invited to check her pulse, even if she was not sick, she would be made sick. No way!
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your great kindness! However, the weather is so cold that all officials, civil and military, have to delay their court because of trivial matters, including an old man who is old enough to be the grandfather of this minister. Deal with business, let's talk about the rest later!" Yu Xiaocao still has enough confidence in her body, she sneezed twice, coughed a few times, nothing happened at all, went back to drink a glass of brown sugar water made with spirit stone liquid, That's it!
The emperor stopped teasing her, nodded and said: "It's hard for Aiqing to be so reasonable. I just want you to give me an accurate word. When the Chinese New Year comes, will the supply of vegetables keep up?"
Yu Xiaocao pondered for a moment before she opened her mouth and said, "I really don't have the confidence to supply tens of thousands of people in Beijing. After all, this is the first trial planting, and there is a lack of planting area and output. However, out-of-season vegetables are precious things, and the price is relatively high, and only one out of ten can afford them. When the second batch of vegetables is on the market, it should be able to satisfy the vegetable supply of most people!"
When all the civil and military officials heard this, they all beamed with joy. It seems that the panic buying of Chinese New Year vegetables that everyone is worried about should not be a problem!
"Good, good, good! If Yu Aiqing's greenhouse vegetable technology can be promoted, it will be beneficial to the country! The people of Ming Dynasty, the day when they can eat vegetables in winter is not far away! Ladies and gentlemen, tell me about such a contribution , should I reward it?" Zhu Junfan looked around at the happy-looking ministers in the palace for a week, and asked back.
reward? It turned out that after laying the groundwork for a long time, the emperor wanted to reward Lord Yu again! It's no wonder that there are emperor's members among the vegetables in the greenhouse. After winter, the king's vegetable and fruit shop in Yang County is making a lot of money, and the silver flows into the emperor's inner treasury like flowing water. The internal treasury that was evacuated in the early years has little savings, and this is all thanks to Master Yu!
Thinking of the fact that since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Supreme Emperor has conquered the world and left a treasury full of holes for the twenty-five-year-old emperor. Fortunately, the emperor was diligent and benevolent, and he worried about the court and the people every day. All the money in the inner treasury was subsidized into the national treasury, leaving nothing but a flowery shelf.
In recent years, due to natural disasters and man-made disasters, coupled with unstable borders, the national treasury has never been filled. Now, thanks to Mrs. Yu, Neiku has finally improved, no wonder the emperor will reward her in a different way. Thinking about the news from the palace, the herbal tea shop that will open next year seems to be facilitated by the empress. Master Yu is the golden rooster that lays golden eggs in the hands of the emperor! Of course, I have to give a carrot, hanging her in the front and continuing to contribute to the country!
However, how to reward and what to reward? Another big problem. A teenage girl's family has already reached the sixth rank as an official, and if she goes up, there must be more people who are dissatisfied. Besides, it's only been a long time since I was appointed as an official, and I was promoted. What do those old guys who have been in the same position for decades think
Just when the ministers were struggling, the emperor said again: "You have only been appointed as an official for less than half a year. If you are promoted immediately, it will be too fast! How about this, I will make you a county lord. By the way , I heard that you are in the middle of the capital to buy a house? I also have a courtyard in my hand that the former grand master lived in, and I will give it to you as well!"
What? The ministers couldn't care less about the so-called county lord's empty title. Didn't the house of the former grand master be rewarded to Yang Jun Wang for his meritorious service in countering the rebellion yesterday? Your majesty, you won't have selective amnesia, will you? Is it appropriate to award a second house to a house that has already been awarded
Some people sniffed something out of it! The relationship between King Yang and Master Yu began in Dongshan Village in Tanggu. The cold and indifferent Prince Yang seems to have a close relationship with Master Xiaoyu. It is said that he went to Uncle Zhongqin's mansion as soon as he came to court yesterday, and brought a lot of coveted good leather. Does this mean...
