I become a sage by eating books

Chapter 46 The Decree
After the village chief agreed to enclose the land, Father Ning urged him to go and measure it together. After measuring, the open space was a full five mu.Then he went to the county government again to get the land deed, and now all the open land belongs to the Ning family.

Father Ning looked at the land deed with a smirk on his face. In just two months, their family had more than ten acres of land.He carefully put the title deed into his arms, as if he was carrying a treasure, no amount of cold wind could conceal the joy on his face.

In the next two days, besides teaching everyone how to make soap and toothpaste, Ning An spent more time eating books.Because he decided to take the county examination in February, Ning An exchanged [-] prestige points for [-] books, including cultural treasures such as the Four Books and Five Classics.

After two days of thinking, Ning An had a new understanding of the system's tasks.She thinks that the main system arranges different hosts to do tasks on various planes. The real purpose is to let the hosts drive the development of different industries in each era.

The eighth day of the first lunar month is the valley day, and it is also the day when the stars descend to the lower realms. Villagers are looking forward to a sunny day today, so that this year will have a bumper harvest.

Suddenly, there was a noise from the shadows at the entrance of the village, and the villagers who heard the noise stepped out of their homes to look at the entrance of the village.I saw five or six officers and soldiers walking in front, followed by a group of people.

"What's going on here, why are the officers and soldiers here?"

Everyone was talking about it, not knowing why.

At this time, a man dressed as a little eunuch asked a villager: "This old man, do you know how to get to the Ning family?"

The Ning family, this group of people is going to the Ning family, so it's okay!

The old man didn't know what happened, and he was very scared. After pointing the way to the little eunuch, he asked his grandson to report to the village chief's house.The Ning family are all good people, so they can't be arrested randomly.

After the bag officers and soldiers left, the old man said: "Folks, those people have gone to Ning's house, let's go and have a look too. If they want to harm Ning's family, you can't just ignore them."

After hearing the old man's words, the villagers who watched the excitement fell silent. Since ancient times, the people did not fight with officials. If they really came to Ning's house to arrest people, what could they do?

be silent

Suddenly someone said: "Uncle, I'll go with you!"

"Okay, let's go together!" said the old man.

"Uncle, I'll go too." Another person stood up.

"I'll go as well"

"Count me in"

"Come on, let's go and have a look too. The law does not blame the public. I don't believe they can arrest all of us."

"Walk"

……

The village chief Wang Youde hurried over after hearing the news. He stopped one of the officers and soldiers and said, "This official, I am the village chief here. I don't know what happened to the Ning family?"

The officer and soldier was a little displeased after being stopped, and his expression softened a little after hearing that it was the village chief.

"What happened and what happened? We came to Ning's family to preach the decree. Since you are the village head, then let you lead the way."

Although he knew that the old man in front of him was the village head, the officers and soldiers were not very polite. He was a guard from the capital, and he didn't take a small village head seriously.

The guard's words were like thunder in the daytime, which made the head of the village head buzz. Did he understand the meaning of delivering the decree?

Wang Youde didn't know how he got to Ning's house, he was still thinking about the words of the officers and soldiers, it was all like a dream.

"Also trouble the old man to call the door."

The person who spoke was a very luxuriously dressed eunuch. He spoke very politely, and his identity was unusual.

At this time, the villagers also rushed over, but the situation was different from what they thought. It seemed that they were not here to arrest people.

"Knock knock knock" Wang Youde knocked a few times.

"Who is it?" It was Mrs. Hu who opened the door.Seeing that it was Wang Youde, he asked, "Village Chief, what's the matter with you?"

"Where is Wulang? Is Wulang here? Someone from the court has come, let him come out quickly."

Hu Lianhua didn't realize what the village chief said for a while, and she didn't come back until Wang Youde urged her.

"Uncle, uncle, the village chief said that the imperial court is here, hurry up..."

Hu's voice was loud and urgent, not only the Ning family heard it, but also people outside.Father Ning was stunned, but it was Deng who was the first to react.

"Talk slowly, is someone from the imperial court here? Where...where is it!"

"In...outside..." Hu Shi was still in shock, and she had never lost her composure like this before, who was always gentle and gentle.

"You..." Mrs. Deng didn't know what to say. Although these two daughters-in-law were good, they just had a little bit of knowledge, and they would panic about little things.

"I'll go get Goro, and you go get your sister-in-law to prepare refreshments!"

Ning An in the room had already heard the movement!

"Let's go, Mom and Dad, let's go out together!"

Ning An's voice was still gentle, with a calm demeanor, without a trace of panic.Father Ning looked at Ning An nervously as if he saw the backbone.

"Father, take it easy and learn from your mother. It's a good thing."

Deng looked at Father Ning with disgust, pretending to be calm and composed, but the hand in her cuff betrayed her, she was actually a little bit nervous, of course only a little bit.

The moment Ning An walked out of the courtyard, the group delivering the decree were stunned.Oh my god, this family is really pretty, especially that young man, his bearing can't compare to most of the nobles in the capital.

"Student Ning An has met the father-in-law."

"Caomin Ninghai/Caomin Deng Yumei met her father-in-law!"

"Young Master Ning, there is no need to be too polite. Our family is here to announce the decree on His Majesty's honor. Please also ask Young Master Ning to prepare."

The leading eunuch was very polite, he observed Ning An carefully, with a look of appreciation in his eyes.

"Thank you father-in-law for letting me know, and please move to the courtyard to rest for a while, and the students will go get ready immediately."

Ning An led a group of people into the courtyard, and Miao and Hu hurriedly brought refreshments.

The father-in-law and his party were a little surprised. They didn't expect that the small farm house was different from what they thought. Although the Ning's house was not big, it was kept very clean and the refreshments were also very good.

Soon the censer and incense table were all ready, and everyone in the Ning family knelt on the ground, with the men in front and the women in the rear.The head eunuch read aloud: "By God's fortune, the emperor said, the people of Ning's family are jade chaste and pine clean, and their virtues match heaven and earth. They discovered the heated kang and relieved the suffering of all people. They bestowed a "virtuous family" and rewarded a hundred taels of gold. Student Ning'an , Research and innovation of mathematics, meritorious service in presenting abacus, should be a model for the world's students, and bestowed the title of Master, the same rank as the eighth grade, I admire this!"

"Students accept the order! Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

"Master Ning, congratulations." The eunuch said with a smile.

The Ning family got up in a daze, completely unaware of what the eunuch said.Deng Shi stepped forward and lightly kicked Father Ning's clothes, only then did Father Ning react.

"Elder-in-law has worked hard!"

Father Ning handed a purse to the father-in-law, and the father-in-law did not refuse, and quietly accepted it.This is an unwritten rule, and there is nothing to avoid. More or less money is a little bit of the master's wish, and it is also a respect for the imperial power. They will not be so stupid as to refuse.

"My father-in-law has worked hard all the way, please come to the humble house to rest and recuperate, so that the students can show their friendship as a landlord."

What Ning An said was exactly what Eunuch wanted.His surname is Liu, and he is the apprentice of Eunuch Gao, the head of the imperial court.Originally, a small order didn't require him to come, but the emperor specially ordered him to come!

Before leaving, his master had specially instructed him to respect Mr. Ning. This is someone whom the emperor paid special attention to, so he should not be neglected.The master also said that Mr. Ning is a man of great talent, and his future is bound to be limitless. He can only make good friends, not evil.

Seeing that Eunuch Liu was so respectful to the Ning family, the guards also changed their attitude.Fortunately, the Ning family is also very good, with a lot of food and a heavy purse. Generally speaking, this trip was not a bad one.

Before leaving, the Ning family specially prepared two gifts, one for the emperor and one for the father-in-law. Of course, the emperor's gift was bigger.

In fact, the gift was very simple, it was made of bacon, sausage, and soap, which was also in line with their Ning family's peasant temperament. As for whether the gift could reach the emperor, it was not something they cared about.

After seeing off Eunuch Liu, the atmosphere in the Ning family became lively. There were so many officers and soldiers just now, they were overwhelmed.

They don't know what this "House of Deshan" means, but the 100 taels of gold are really there!There is also Goro, what does it mean to have the title of a master, who is the same as the eighth rank.

"An'er, An'er, have you become an official?" Father Ning couldn't restrain his inner excitement.

"It's not an official, it's just a salary."

There was a hint of a smile in Ning An's bright eyes. Although it was only a title of Master, it was stronger than anything.And now that she is famous in front of the emperor, if those people want to touch her, they have to worry about it.

"Fifth brother is humble. I heard it clearly just now. It is the same as the eighth rank, but it is one rank lower than the county magistrate."

Zhou Chuanlin admired this little brother-in-law very much. If he was an ordinary person, he should have shown it off.

"Really, really? Hahaha, now I am also the father of the official."

Father Ning smiled a little complacently, Deng glanced at him and said, "Can you keep a low profile, have you seen the plaque bestowed by the emperor, the House of Virtue and Goodness! You all be careful in your words and deeds in the future, don't let me down Have you heard the emperor's trust in us clearly?"

When Mrs. Deng spoke, everyone in the Ning family obeyed.Seeing his wife's bluffing aura, Ning An was completely relieved.If you have a mother to teach them, they will not make mistakes when they think about it.

The news that the Ning family had received a reward quickly spread in the village, and the villagers came to congratulate them one after another.Although this honor belongs to the Ning family, the Ning family belongs to Wang's Village, and all the villagers in Wang's Village are proud of Rongyan.

The village chief Wang Youde was no less excited than the Ning family. After such a glorious incident happened in the village, whether it is taking a wife or marrying a daughter in the village, people will be highly regarded.

Originally, the village head proposed to have a big banquet in the village, but Ning An refused.The reason for the refusal is very simple, it must be worthy of the words bestowed by the emperor.However, the Ning family still gave gifts to each family to express their gratitude to the villagers.

The [-]th day of the first lunar month is a good day for groundbreaking. The Ning family selected twenty or so skilled workers in the village to build a workshop.Thirty Wen a day, for one meal at noon.The actions of the Ning family surprised everyone again, and they called out that the Ning family was about to make a fuss.

In fact, the Ning family had already posted it, but they didn't know it.Knowing this news, there are many people who say sour words, but many people are envious.

The current Ning family is not the original Ning family, they have been blessed by heaven, and they are not something ordinary people can afford to provoke.Besides, Ning Jia Wulang once said today that if you are poor, you will be good for yourself, and if you are rich, you will benefit the world. If the Ning family is rich, can he help the village?I'm afraid only a fool would go against the Ning family!

I have to say that such fools really exist.

Liu Jianghe from the Liu family felt itchy like a cat scratching his heart after learning that the Ning family had received a reward of 100 taels of gold.

"Mother, how long do you think it will take for the Ning family to spend the 100 taels of gold?"

Wang Osmanthus felt very uncomfortable. No matter where she went recently, people were talking about how the Ning family was doing, and her ears were numb.

"No matter how much money there is, it's theirs."

Wang Guihua obviously didn't want to bring up this topic, she was so jealous that she brought it up!

"Mother, you said that Ning Wulang is now the imperial concubine Mrs. Ning. If he marries a wife, won't he pay a lot of gifts!"

Thinking of the 100 taels of gold, Liu Jianghe smiled sinisterly.

"Of course! It's just that the dead girl doesn't live up to expectations, and Wulang looks down on her, otherwise I would be the in-law of the Ning family."

Speaking of this is out of anger, a few days ago, Zhang Yuanwai in the town heard some slanderous rumors about that dead girl from somewhere, and insisted on retiring.The 20 taels of silver in hand flew away abruptly.

"Mother, my little sister has also been divorced now, why don't we do this!"

Liu Jianghe whispered something into Wang Guihua's ear.

"This, this is not good!"

Wang Guihua was a little scared, what if something happened?
"Mother, think about the 100 taels of gold! Anyway, my little sister's reputation has been ruined now, don't you want to support her forever!"

"Then how can I do it? Isn't my mother raising her so much just to collect some dowry gifts! Okay, I will do as you said."

Thinking of the white money, Wang Guihua became more courageous.She chuckled, how much would it cost if things were successful, 50 taels, no, 100 taels, at least 100 taels!

The busy Ning An never expected that someone would plot against her, but even if she knew about it, she wouldn't take it to heart, how could she be so calculating.

In the room, Ning An was communicating with a host named Zhou Jian in the 22nd century.People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and even their luck has become particularly good. With the mentality of giving it a try, Ning An turned on the face trading function of the system to see if he could meet a host of a higher face. was met by her.

Ning An asked him for some high-yielding crops and seeds of vegetables and fruits, and agreed to trade them in three days.As long as the transaction is not completed, the system will not randomly pair hosts.However, since Ning'an wanted a large quantity and a large variety of items, he had to give the host time to prepare.

Three days later, Zhou Jian really got her 30 catties of rice, [-] catties of corn, [-] catties of sweet potatoes, [-] catties of potatoes, as well as some vegetable and fruit seeds and some daily necessities.The final deal was reached with [-] prestige points.Ning An felt that with these things, she could carry out the next plan.

Although the task of the system is to make her a sage of a generation, she is not allowed to farm.Besides, a person must first have enough food and clothing to have a desire for knowledge. If the common people can't eat enough and don't wear warmth, what books are they going to read?
