The card draw is not ruthless, and the gate of the house is unstable

Chapter 53
Seeing Meng Chengzhi's condition, Zheng Shaoyun guessed that he was talking about the old man's sore spot.

He didn't argue with Meng Chengzhi, but said casually: "I didn't say to compare Mr. Xie with General Mu. Is there any comparison between General and Si Nong?"

"not at all."

"And what I said are all facts, and I didn't confuse the public."

"Master Xie is capable of taking up the position of a farmer. The ministers can see and ask for themselves, but not everyone is like Mr. Meng. They are old and their eyes can't see clearly."

The last sentence can be said to bring everyone in.

If other people want to use Xie Qingyu's identity as an issue, they have to think about it first.

After all, what is being discussed now is whether Xie Qingyu is qualified for the position of Sinonong.

Rather than being a woman, is it appropriate for Xie Qingyu, who is seven years old, to take up this position.

There was silence for a while.

Many officials cast admiring glances at the prime minister.

I have known for a long time that the Prime Minister has always had a headache because of his son's disregard of etiquette. Today's confrontation with Meng Chengzhi really opened the eyes of all officials.

Only he, Zheng Shaoyun, dared to talk so unscrupulously in front of the emperor.

Seeing that no one spoke, Zhao Yitian said:

"When Xie Aiqing and others were working just now, everyone saw it. However, since there is a dispute, then you might as well ask Xie Aiqing some farming knowledge."

Zhao Yitian looked at the Minister of the Household Department, "Si Nong belongs to the Household Department, so Cao Aiqing will come up with the questions."

Seeing that the emperor had hand-picked him to write a question, the Minister of the Household Department quickly walked to the imperial court to salute, "I obey the order."

Cao Zhongshu came in front of Xie Qingyu, "Mr. Xie Qian, have you come up with a question?"

Xie Qingyu bent down slightly, "Master Cao please."

Although Xie Qingyu was a little timid at the moment, afraid that he would not be able to answer Mr. Cao's question, he could only bite the bullet.

Seeing Xie Qingyu nodding his head, Master Cao asked, "Excuse me, when is the rice usually sown?"

Help, I'm really afraid of something.

She has only been exposed to corn since she was a child, and has never been exposed to rice!
Spring plowing and autumn harvesting, spring plowing and autumn harvesting.

It must be spring, but what time is it?

By the time of Qingming, the corn has already appeared, and I don't know if the rice is similar to it.

No matter, just follow the time of corn!
Xie Qingyu puffed up, and replied with some anxiety: "Rice is usually sown before Qingming."

Master Cao nodded, and asked again: "Drought will lead to poor harvests, or even no harvests. How to prevent this situation?"

"Build reservoirs around the fields, and when there is enough rain in summer, the rain can be stored; build reservoirs where there are water sources, and send people to take care of them."

"When there is drought, ditches are dug in the fields to divert water to the rice fields."

Master Cao nodded repeatedly.

Sure enough, the daughter of the Xie family is unique, otherwise, how could the emperor have given her the position of Sinon without any reason.

Presumably the emperor also knew the ability of the daughter of the Xie family, so he let her take charge.

Thinking of this, Mr. Cao turned to face Zhao Yitian, and said back: "Your Majesty, I'm done asking."

Zhao Yitian nodded, and looked at the ministers present, "My dear friends, you have also heard the conversation between Cao Aiqing and Xie Aiqing, but do you have any objections?"

There was silence for a while, but no one came out to object.

Seeing this, Zhao Yitian said, "So, Xie Qingyu listens."

"Today I entitle you to be the fifth-rank Sinonong, under the jurisdiction of all the officials of the Sinonong Division, and in charge of the farming affairs of the people in the world."

Xie Qingyu kowtowed, "Sir, thank you Lord Long En."

After Xie Qingyu got up, Zhao Yitian looked at the Minister of the Ministry of Industry again.

"Lu Aiqing, Xie Aiqing has recently developed two kinds of agricultural tools, and you and Xie Aiqing will connect with each other to mass-produce these agricultural tools and distribute them to counties and towns."

"The minister obeys the order."

"Xie Aiqing, tomorrow I will send people to the General's Mansion, and then you will arrange to learn how to use stone mills and stone mills, and let people teach the most basic types of wheat flour to eat."

Xie Qingyu saluted again, "I obey the order."

After Zhao Yitian arranged everything, he looked at the ministers behind him.

"Since everyone is here, let's all participate in sowing seeds. Only by experiencing the pain of farming can we better relieve the worries of the people, be good parents and officials, and do practical things for the people."

The officials, who were still wondering what it was to eat with stone mill and wheat flour, immediately yelled together:

"The ministers obey the order."

With the participation of the ministers, the fields in Zhuangzi were quickly sown.

All are planted with wheat.

As for the Xie Family Farm, there are only two fields left in Zhuangzi that have not been sown.

Xie Qingyu is not going to plant wheat and potatoes anymore.

Those two sources of water are more abundant and better used to grow rice.

When Luanjia returned to Beijing, Zheng Shaoyun was called by the prime minister to go with him.

It was also at this time that Xie Qingyu knew that Zheng Shaoyun was actually the eldest son of the prime minister's mansion and Zheng Yunzhou's elder brother.

Originally, Xie Qingyu saw that Zheng Shaoyun liked noodles so much, and wanted to invite him to the General's Mansion.

Let Mrs. An make some pasta for him to thank him for his righteous words today.

Now it seems that there is still another opportunity.

Back at the mansion, Xie Qingyu first found Aunt An and Chunxi Chunhua.

Tell them that tomorrow the emperor will send someone to learn how to turn wheat flour into simple food, so that they can get ready.

Then I went to the Songtao Courtyard of the old lady to pay my respects to everyone.

Xie's family doesn't have so many rules, and the old lady didn't ask people in the house to go to Songtao Courtyard every day to pay their respects.

All it takes is for everyone to have a meal together the day after Xie Qingyu Xiumu came back.

But my mother and several aunts and sisters-in-law would go to Songtao Courtyard to sit with the old lady as long as there was nothing to do.

So as soon as Xie Qingyu entered the courtyard, he saw his grandmother, mother, aunt and sisters-in-law all sitting in the courtyard.

Embroidery embroiders, those who paint chrysanthemums paint chrysanthemums, and those who drink tea drink tea.

The old lady was sitting in the upper seat, chatting with them from time to time.

"grandmother."

"Mother."

"aunt."

…………

Xie Qingyu greeted each of them one by one, and then told several people about her being made a Sinog.

When they heard that Xie Qingyu had assumed the post of Sinonong, everyone in the courtyard stopped what they were holding.

The third wife wondered why her daughter was promoted after waking up after being in a coma for three days.

So he said: "For no reason, why did the emperor let you become a farmer, but what did you do?"

The eldest lady was also puzzled, "That day in the palace, I just said that Xiao Qi was freed up by grinding stones. Farming is extremely important, so it shouldn't be because of this that Xiao Qi was appointed as a farmer. .”

The second lady put it bluntly: "Did you tell about your grandfather's dream?"

Xie Qingyu nodded.

The faces of several people were brilliant, but they were all afraid that Xie Qingyu would not know the importance and leak everything.

While thinking about a remedy, I heard Xie Qingyu continue:

"However, I have changed it a bit. I just said that Grandpa entrusted me with the dream because he didn't want to see that the Zhao country was in dire straits and the people couldn't have enough food and clothing."

"The key points let me learn all kinds of farming knowledge and how to make various crops into food."
