A Concubine of Salted Fish in Qing Dynasty [Red House]

Even a child can see this credit clearly, and of course Kangxi can see it even more clearly. This is also his credit, and he will leave another mark in the history books in the future.

He was also thinking, how to reward her?

If it is a man, it is not a problem to be promoted to an official rank, but if she is a woman or a concubine, then his reward will have to be changed in a different way.

Kangxi still has expectations for Yun's. Have these wheat varieties reached their limit?

not necessarily.

Yun Shi is still young now, judging by her physical condition, she should not have a short life in the future, and she is still researching improved rice seeds, if she can achieve something...

All in all, it was a blessing to find such a talent in his lifetime.

So after three years of small-scale fixed-point experiments, Kangxi confirmed the role of these improved varieties.

On ordinary land, the yield can be increased by about [-]%. If it is a high-quality land, fertilizer, plus intensive cultivation, can even reach [-]%!

Those fertilizers are also effective for other grains such as rice. Depending on the type of grain, the income can be increased by half to [-]%. These are common things, but because of the different methods and steps of composting, there can be such an amazing change!

Wherever it is promoted, on the day of harvest, those old farmers who have been there for many years will kneel down and shout, "Long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, and long live", so that they can barely express a little inner excitement.

So in the 55th year of Kangxi, Yun Shuyao received an unexpected imperial edict.

The reason why it is unexpected is because Yun Shuyao imagined how Kangxi would reward her, the most intuitive one is to give her a title, judging from the imperial order Kangxi gave her before, he would not taboo her as a woman Share her credit with her husband's family.

Now Lin Ruhai and Chenyu both have credit, but the main credit is undoubtedly her.

So she was named Marquis, Marquis of Dingfeng.

This was within Yun Shuyao's expectation, but there was another item in the edict, a premise, which mentioned Lin Ruhai's wife, Yun Shi.

She is still a concubine.

It is not uncommon for the common people to raise their concubines as wives, and if the people do not raise officials, they will not be held accountable, but if officials do this, it is a blatant handle.

As long as you are still interested in official career, you will cherish feathers.

For example, Yun Shuyao is now in the Lin family. She is almost the same as the wife of the wife, but she is inferior in name. But now, she has been promoted as a wife, and no one can talk about it.

Because this is different from the general situation. It is not advisable for ordinary people to take concubines as wives. If there is credit for the emperor to agree, then that is another matter.

At first, Yun Shuyao was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, she was not surprised. For Kangxi, this was a favor, but for herself, it was a grace enough to make her "grateful".

Yun Shuyao did indeed accept this love. She was the stepmother, so the identities of the two children changed, from concubines to legitimate sons from the stepmother.

They Guan Yun's family can also call out loudly.

In addition to Yun Shuyao's own knighthood, Lin Ruhai has also been promoted due to his meritorious service. He has successfully entered the cabinet in the past few years, and now he is serving as the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and has become the new Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

Even Chenyu, because of adapting to local conditions, was promoted, from the magistrate at the beginning to the judge, and then to the magistrate, it is foreseeable that as long as he does not make mistakes, he will soon be able to rise to a higher level.

And with his promotion, he finally returned to the vicinity of the capital from the local area.

When he takes office, family members won't have to see each other so far away.

The daughter-in-law can also take the children back to the capital often.

Over the years, the family has had one more child, who was born after Tang Wanxin took office with her, a daughter named Xi'er, who is already two years old this year.

After accepting the imperial decree, the old lady was so happy that she couldn't speak. She shook her hands, her legs were weak, and she couldn't get up by herself. It was her son who helped her up. She had lost consciousness and couldn't take her eyes off the imperial decree. Is this really not a dream?

Their Lin family has a title again!

Although the person with the title is not Lin, she is also his daughter-in-law!It's also the Lin family!And the next generation is surnamed Lin again, same!

The more she thought about it, the more excited the old lady became.

"You are a blessed person, and my Lin family is also a blessed person!" At this moment, the old lady suddenly felt that she had done a very good job of insisting on giving poor people old clothes, applying medicine, and accumulating merit every year. She might not see anything for a while. , but as long as the accumulation of merit is enough, it will also give feedback, so such a good thing fell to the Lin family, fortunately she did not miss the Yun family back then!

The fate of the Lin family could not be changed without her!

Lin Ruhai was also very emotional, he took this step thanks to her blessing, otherwise he would have to wait two years to become a minister.

Old Shangshu is old, so it's not that he can't stay for two more years.

The servants in the mansion even had smiles on their faces, this is all right, they are now the people of the Hou Mansion!

It is still the Hou Mansion that the emperor took a fancy to and wrote the inscription himself!

As soon as this imperial decree was heard, it shook the capital.

In the past few years, only those people who have been in contact with this area know. It is not surprising to hear this imperial decree. Most people still don't know it, especially the common people.

Hearing others say it, he thought it was fake, "Is this really an imperial decree? Is it still a marquis?"

How difficult it is to be a Marquis, not because of any great contribution, and now there are very few Marquises.

Someone said with certainty: "Of course it is true. The imperial decree issued today and the plaque of the Hou Mansion have all been prepared and sent over. It was written by the Holy Majesty himself!"

Some people were dubious: "Really?"

Someone swears: "Really, I saw that plaque hang up with my own eyes!"

I also heard someone say: "It's true. My wife's village should grow this kind of wheat. It's very mysterious. People from other villages are not allowed to approach it. It is said that the harvest has increased a lot. Now it seems that it should be this."

"My second uncle has also heard people say that he works in the Yamen. It is said that this has been studied for several years, and now it is estimated that there is no problem before he issued an award."

The people were excited: "If it is true that the increase in wheat production is true, then Lord Hou is really powerful, and this is still a woman!"

Although it was a woman, they couldn't believe it, but if it was true, let alone a woman, even a monster would have to worship!

Some people firmly do not believe: "This can't be true, it must be made up by storytellers. Not all people who go to the fields are men, and experienced old farmers don't have women. They are still a pampered housewife. It's too ridiculous!"

These words do make sense, and the audience swayed left and right.

Those who believe are still firm: "You don't even think about it. If it is fake, can there be an imperial decree? Can you directly give her a title? The emperor is wise and powerful, who dares to commit the crime of deceiving the emperor?" Dare to lie to the emperor because he feels his neck is too stiff Yet?

"Then how do we get this fine seed, I want to try this fine seed, even if it's not as good as the imperial decree said, it would be great to increase the yield by [-]%." In this way, the soup at home can be thicker.

"Yeah, if it's true, the family will be able to thresh more wheat."

"Go and see, the yamen has posted a notice, Yuli is reporting how many people want this kind of good breed, each village has a limit, first come first served, Lao Zhang, do you want to sign up for a try?"

The middle-aged man named Lao Zhang hesitated for a moment, and gritted his teeth: "I'll go to the notice first and see what the scholars say. If it's true, I'll sign up and try it with two acres of land first!"

Some people still questioned: "This is definitely a fake. Let's go and see where the notice is. I'll go and see. I've never seen such a good wheat seed when I grow up. If I plant it, be careful that the grain will not be harvested!"

……

There are all kinds of voices. In general, because of Kangxi's imperial decree, most people still believe more. If you want them to fully believe it, they have to see it for themselves.

Seeing is believing, not impossible.

Some places that have not yet been harvested have been made public, and anyone who wants to see them can go to see them at any time.

This fine breed is to be promoted, and of course the Emperor will not stop the news from spreading.

Yun Shuyao's two younger brothers are not in the capital now, and they are both working abroad. The one who stays in the capital is Yun Shuyao's cousin Yun Chang, who is the eldest son of Uncle Yun Shuyao. I went to the ancestor ranking and told the ancestors.

In their Yun family, someone honored their ancestors and made them a marquis!

Then he immediately sent someone to take a message to his second uncle and second aunt, and if he was free, he would come to Beijing.

Although the second uncle is no longer working in Baili County, he is also near the capital.

But the Jia family was silent. This has two bad news for them. The first bad news is that now that the Lin family has a second wife, the relationship between Lin Ruhai and the Jia family will be even further apart. Even if he is promoted again, Jia's family didn't get much light either.

The second bad news is that there is such a hot upstart in the capital, but their attitude was not good before, and I don't know if she will take revenge on them with a grudge.

Changing places, if the second wife of Wang was Yun Shuyao, she would not let go of those who looked down on her when she was humble.

So her brain was dizzy for a while, "This, how can this be good?"

Then she told Jia Mu, Jia Mu's eyes were wide open, and there was obvious disbelief. The second wife of Wang said bitterly: "Old ancestor, it is true. The imperial decree issued today has been spread throughout the capital."

Mother Jia's breathing became unstable for a while, and Wang Xifeng quickly persuaded, "Don't get excited, old ancestor, your body is important."

As soon as she talked about her body, Mother Jia woke up with a start, closed her eyes and said that she was tired and needed a good rest, she couldn't listen anymore, and she didn't want to listen anymore, she didn't want to die yet.

The relationship with the Lin family is already like this. The Lin family is stingy with helping the Jia family. Now it is not much different from the original. She does not need to worry. As for revenge on the Jia family, it should not be possible. There are still empresses and little elder brothers in the palace. , even if Yun's child was born for her, it would not be too obvious to the original spouse's family.

Mother Jia persuaded herself to think about it, but the more Mrs. Wang thought about it, the more panicked she became.

The red makeup of the Jia family married a daughter-in-law to Lin Ruhai. Now that Lin Ruhai is beautiful, she has nothing to do with the Jia family. The more I think about it, the more I vomit blood!

There is another thing that made Mrs. Wang vomit blood.

Because everyone was openly allowed to watch the planting of the fine-grained wheat in Zhuangzi, many people went to see it, and there were many experienced farmers. After going there, looking at the ears of wheat, they had a rough idea.

The hefty weight doesn't lie.

"How did you do this? I've planted fields for decades, but I've never grown such good wheat!"

"Is this the fertilizer obtained from composting? I'll pile up two and try again later."

"Quick, quick, there is a piece of land over there that can be harvested, let's go and have a look!"

There are not many people harvesting, and they are slow. Some people brought their own guys to the field to help, and then helped threshing wheat ears and drying them. When weighing, a group of people surrounded them.

"It's exactly one mu of land, and we actually harvested two hundred and one catties!"

"My family also has a high-quality land. The whole family often squats on the ground to serve them carefully, and only harvested 140 two catties of wheat!"

There was an uproar, and there was a lot of discussion.

"Dingfenghou must be a star in the sky. He got the order of Emperor Ziwei and came down to help us. My emperor is wise and powerful, and he is the incarnation of Emperor Ziwei!"

"It is said that Marquis Dingfeng has been researching for more than 20 years to obtain the seed. Her daughter even married into the royal family, and she has never slacked off!"

"It is said that the composting method she researched is leading people to learn it, and it should be promoted so that everyone can learn it. It is said that it is effective for many crops!"

"Women may not be inferior to men. Look at Marquis Dingfeng. Throughout the ages, how many can be named Marquis by themselves?"

"It is said that Marquis Dingfeng is very intelligent. He loves reading and is good at growing flowers and plants. My daughter is also very intelligent. I don't know if Marquis Dingfeng will accept disciples..."

Hearing these compliments, Mrs. Wang's chest felt even tighter. It's not like she hasn't seen that Yun family before. How could it be as amazing as these people said?

She doesn't believe it anymore, these people will increase their yields if they plant better varieties of wheat. By that time, as many people are praising her now, there will be as many people scolding her, and maybe they will be thrown into prison for the crime of deceiving the emperor. Not sure, she waits first!
