Rebirth of the leisurely life in ancient times

Chapter 374 What a Wonderful Woman

Liu Jiayi and the others responded, "Don't be angry, Sister Xia. We won't do it again next time."

Xia Zixuan said with a slightly helpless tone: "You guys! Well, if you want to go back, then let's go! I'll have someone take you back."

"Okay, thank you Sister Xia." Huang Xiuwen said with a playful smile.

"Well, let's come and see Sister Xia another day." Liu Jiayi took Xia Zixuan's arm and walked out.

"Okay, you can come whenever you want, but be sure to bring a few more people with you," Xia Zixuan instructed.

"Okay, we got it." The two responded.

When they got outside, Xia Zixuan called out to Xingyu, "You and Yingsan should take Miss Liu and Miss Huang back. Remember to get them home safely."

Upon hearing this, Xingyu and the others quickly responded, "Yes, young lady."

"Then Sister Xia, let's go." Liu Jiayi and the other person got on the carriage.

Xia Zixuan nodded and said, "Okay, drive slowly on the road and be careful."

After seeing them off, Xia Zixuan also walked back home. When she arrived at the front yard, she met Mu Chenyi and the others. "What are you doing?"

Su Baiyu glanced outside, and Xia Zixuan said speechlessly: "Why are you still looking after everyone has left? Why didn't you go in just now?"

Su Baiyu was a little embarrassed and said, "Didn't I embarrass her when I went in just now?"

Xia Zixuan thought about it and it made sense, after all, she was a girl.

Mu Chenyi walked up to her and said, "Ying Qi sent a message saying that the imperial edict will arrive tomorrow. You should be ready to receive it."

Xia Zixuan was surprised: "So fast?"

"Not so fast anymore. Ying Qi has been gone for a few days." Mu Chenyi said.

Back in the capital, Emperor Mu Jing was shocked when he received the letter and memorial sent by Ying Qi.

He immediately asked Sun Sheng to invite the Grand Tutor, the Secretary of State, the Crown Prince and others.

"Sun Sheng, go and invite the Grand Tutor and others to the Imperial Study and tell them that I want to discuss something with them."

Upon hearing this, Sun Sheng quickly responded, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will go right away."

After an incense stick of time, several people came to the imperial study in a hurry, "Master Taifu, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince... please come in quickly, the Emperor is waiting for you inside."

"Your son kowtows to His Majesty (Your servant kowtows to His Majesty)" Several people came to the imperial study and bowed immediately.

Emperor Mu Jing raised his hand and said, "My dear ministers, please stand up and take your seats."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After the group stood up and sat down, Emperor Mu Jing said, "Sun Sheng, take the memorial to the Crown Prince and all the ministers."

Upon hearing this, Sun Sheng immediately bowed and took the memorial, then turned around and handed it to Crown Prince Mu Chenze, "Your Highness, please take a look."

Mu Chenze took the memorial and quickly browsed through its contents. When he saw that the yield per mu was more than 1,000 jin, he was shocked.

He looked up at Emperor Mu Jing, "Father, what is said here has really come true!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Mu Jing nodded and said, "Yes, Ayi and Chu Qingchuan both saw it with their own eyes. This is the wheat."

After Emperor Mu Jing finished speaking, he pointed at the wheat on the imperial desk. Mu Chenze handed the memorial to the tutor beside him, walked to the imperial desk, grabbed a handful of wheat, and looked at it for a long time but couldn't figure out what it meant.

The Imperial Tutor and the others were also shocked after reading the memorial. "Your Majesty, is what Lord Chu said true? Is there really a crop that can produce a thousand kilograms per mu?"

The prime minister looked at the contents of the memorial and thought to himself that the area under his grandson-in-law's jurisdiction actually produced a thousand kilograms of grain per mu. This time, the emperor might let him come back early to report on his work.

Emperor Mu Jing looked at the excited people and said, "It is indeed as written in the memorial. Prince Yi also wrote a letter to prove that it is true. I came here today to discuss with you my dear ministers how to reward you."

The Minister of Revenue stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I think this woman should be rewarded with a thousand acres of fertile land and a mansion."

The Minister of Revenue's idea was simple. Since she knew how to farm, he would reward her with more land.

The father of Wang Xinyao, the Minister of Rites, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I think this woman should be granted the title of a county lady, so that she will have the responsibility to lead the people in her jurisdiction to no longer suffer from hunger and cold. This way, Your Majesty will also feel a little more at ease."

The prime minister also stood up and echoed his son's words, "I agree, Your Majesty, this woman should be the county lord."

The Grand Tutor also nodded and said, "I agree. It would be best for Your Majesty to grant Qushui County to Miss Xia."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Mu Jing said, "Then let's do as you say. Sun Sheng will draft an order. You will go to Qingshan Village in person to see what kind of extraordinary woman can grow such a high yield of food."

Upon hearing this, Sun Sheng quickly responded, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will definitely live up to your expectations."
