Chapter 88 Happy Events(2/2)
Ji Xiaotang no longer paid attention to Changsheng, but talked about Xinhuatang to Mrs. Ji Er and Yang.
"The old lady is still in the same state. Your sister came back with Huai Jin a few days ago. They lived a good life and said they planned to see you together in a few days." Mrs. Ji Second told Ji Xiaotang that everything is going well at home now, so Ji Xiaotang doesn't have to worry.
"Uncle's place..." Neither Mrs. Ji nor Mrs. Yang mentioned Master Ji, so Ji Xiaotang asked more.
"It's still the same." Mrs. Ji Er couldn't say anything about Master Ji, so she said simply.
Just look at Mrs. Ji Er's appearance, you can tell that this old look is definitely not a happy look.
"The master is still addicted to Feng Shui. But if you waste more money, nothing else... it's nothing. Your elder brother is free on his job and always looks at the master." Yang said.
"That's how tired my elder brother will be." Ji Xiaotang nodded.
Mrs. Ji and the others came here today. Mr. Ji Er accompanied him. Ji Xiaomu did not come, but stayed in Xinhua Hall, probably to watch Master Ji.
As he spoke, Qin Zhen and Master Ji Er came from the front.
Everyone greeted each other. They greeted each other simply and sat down to speak.
"Prince, Dad, what are the happy events?" Ji Xiaotang asked. As soon as the two of them entered the house, she saw that they looked happy and were a little excited.
Something must have happened, otherwise these two people would not have been like this.
What happy events will be in the royal palace at this time? Ji Xiaotang couldn't think of it for a moment.
"No, there is a happy event." Mr. Ji Er immediately responded with a smile.
"Zhenshanguan has just reported the news and came back." Qin Zhen took out a post and handed it to Ji Xiaotang for her to see.
The post is a briefly copied content of Qi Younian’s report.
The Zhenshanguan Teng farm has initially achieved results, and the first batch of potatoes and sweet potatoes planted have been harvested one after another.
As Master Ji San promised, these two kinds of grains are not only cold-resistant and cold-resistant, but also not picky about the weight and thinness of the land, but also have amazing yields compared to the crops originally found in Daqin.
The land that the border troops and the people reclaimed together, the potatoes and sweet potatoes harvested can basically meet the food and grass needs of the officers and soldiers of Zhenshanguan in the next year.
It was indeed a great joy. Ji Xiaotang had full confidence in Qi Younian's ability and had great expectations for the foreign grains. This result still made her overjoyed.
Such a result not only means that the food and grass of the border troops were guaranteed, but also means that once it was promoted, from then on, the people of the Qin Dynasty could eat enough and no longer suffer from hunger.
"This report..." Ji Xiaotang held the post and looked up and asked Qin Zhen.
Ji Xiaotang was also a little excited.
"The report has been sent to the palace. It is estimated that everyone will know soon." Qin Zhen said with a smile, "Ayou made another great contribution to the Qin Dynasty."
"Yes." Ji Xiaotang nodded, and everyone nodded.
"My uncle also contributed to the country." Qin Zhen continued, "This is not only my uncle's contribution, but Xiaotang also made great contributions."
"The prince has also spent a lot of effort on this." Ji Xiaotang said, and then laughed, "Prince, are we just flattering each other?"
Everyone in the room laughed.
...
In the Cining Palace
Empress Dowager Han and Emperor Longqing were both smiling. Emperor Longqing even walked back and forth in the hall excitedly until he was exhausted and coughed again. Then he sat down next to Empress Dowager Han again.
"I didn't read the wrong person. Ayou is really a material that can be made. From then on, I, Daqin, will no longer be worried." Empress Dowager Han said excitedly.
"My mother is right. Ayou's contribution to farming is worthy of his contributions, and he should be rewarded." Emperor Longqing continued.
Qi Younian went to Zhenshan Pass to lead troops to guard the army. They had issued several orders to commend Qi Younian's official position is extremely rare among military generals.
However, whether it is Empress Dowager Han or Emperor Longqing, there are rare consensus on Qi Younian's affairs.
After discussing for a while, the two decided to add Qi Younian again, as the first-rank military position, Qi Younian is now considered an extremely powerful minister.
In addition to being promoted, Empress Dowager Han and Emperor Longqing also prepared many rewards, sent imperial envoys, and immediately set off to Zhenshanguan.
"If the barbarians start the war again, we will give Ayou no more rewards." Emperor Longqing said to Empress Dowager Han with a smile, "Have you ever thought about increasing the title of the Marquis of Weiwu?"
Empress Dowager Han was originally smiling, but after hearing Emperor Longqing's words, his expression changed.
"Mother..." Emperor Longqing immediately noticed the change in Empress Dowager Han's mood. After a little shocked, he understood.
Several of the people serving in the hall were all the confidants of Queen Mother Han.
"Originally, Ayou was planning to become Changning's son-in-law. When he pacified the Northern Barbarians, he would change the Weiwu Hou Mansion to the Northern Jingguo Communist Party..."
Not only did Empress Dowager Han think about re-electing Qi Younian, but he even thought about entitling a title, but there was a premise: Qi Younian gave Princess Changning.
But now, although Qi Younian has not yet married, Changning has already married the Northern Barbarians.
This is precisely why Empress Dowager Han suddenly changed her face at this moment of great joy.
She thought of Changning.
She is now suffering in the wilderness of her biological daughter.
"My mother..." Thinking of Changning, Emperor Longqing had to comfort Empress Dowager Han, "Didn't my mother always ask Ayou, Ayou also said that Changning has lived a good life in the Northern Barbarians."
Although Empress Dowager Han cruelly asked Changning to marry, she always cared about Changning and asked someone to greet Qi Younian in private and asked Qi Younian to pay attention to the situation of Changning in the Northern Barbarians.
Every time Qi Younian sends back a report, he will attach some information about Changning, but only Changning is safe. More so, even Qi Younian cannot find out.
Since the peace talks, the Northern Barbarian army retreated, and the Northern Barbarian royal court is in the depths of the northern desert. The roads are difficult, the barriers are numerous, and the news is difficult to pass.
"If..." Empress Dowager Han's eyes were cast to a shadow in the distance, "If this grain could be sent to Daqin earlier, if the farm could be managed even a year in the morning, Changning would not have to..."
But what if there is anything in the world? The current situation is the best result that everyone has worked hard to get, and they had no hope.
Emperor Longqing could only sigh, hoping that Empress Dowager Han could think more easily.
