Chapter 351 Reward
Five days later, there were five watering points in the city, four of which were located at the four city gates and one at the pier.

The Yun Mansion is responsible for the water supply point at the east city gate. At the beginning of every day, a boy will carry out ten loads of water from the west corner gate, put it on a mule cart, and pull it to the east city gate.

In the afternoon, another ten loads of water will be delivered. In the morning, ordinary water will be distributed to the people, and in the afternoon, sour plum soup will be given to the people.

Although the water at the water donation site is not enough to meet everyone's needs, this kind act still brings a touch of coolness and hope to the hot summer.

The emperor admired Zhao Wangshu who proposed water supply, and specially summoned Yun Hao, saying to him: "As the saying goes, a good wife will bring less trouble to a husband, and a good wife will make the family prosperous. Jingyao, it is a blessing to have a good wife at home."

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty. Zhuo Jing has always been kind-hearted and doesn't want to see others suffer." Yun Hao said calmly.

"I heard that your eldest son is about to be born. Have you chosen a name for the child?" the emperor asked.

The emperor asked what he meant by this, because he wanted to give his son a name to show his favor, but Yun Hao did not care about this favor and lied like this: "I told you, your majesty, my mother has already chosen a name for the child."

"What is Mrs. Yun's name?" the emperor asked.

"To answer your Majesty's question, my mother chose Yun Yu for her son, which is the Chinese character for "The dark water in the valley is ringing, and the sparse stars on the mountains are shining brightly."

The emperor nodded, "Yun Yu, that's a good name."

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty." Yun Hao lowered his eyebrows and said.

"Let's do this. I will give your eldest son the position of General Ningyuan. I hope that when he grows up, he will not lose the reputation of his grandfather." The emperor said.

General Ningyuan is a retired official from the fifth-grade military position. Although he has no real power, according to Daliang law, General Ningyuan also has the right to lead troops when the border is in crisis.

Hearing this, Yun Hao did not immediately kowtow, but raised his eyes to look at the emperor, his eyes light, "Your Majesty, my eldest son has just been born, your Majesty has given him such a great favor, isn't this too ostentatious? ?”

"Jingyao, you don't have to worry about this. The Yun family has been loyal for generations, and now your wife is very benevolent and filial. This child deserves this favor. I believe that this child Yun Yu will do something great in the future." The emperor smiled.

After Yun Hao heard this, he kowtowed and thanked you, "I would like to express my gratitude to Your Majesty for your kindness."

"Beidi has sent tributes. I think those pieces of leather are good. You can take them back to your wife." The emperor rewarded him with something again.

Yun Hao thanked him again and returned home with the things the emperor had given him.

In the mansion, Zhao Wangshu was asking his servants to fish out the fish from the pond. The water in the pond dropped so much that the fish were stranded.

Yun Hao was in Linglong Courtyard. He went in and out without finding anyone, so he asked his maid: "Where did the young lady go?"

"The young lady has gone to the North Point Pond." the maid replied.

Yun Hao went to the North Point Pond to look for someone. From a distance, he saw Zhao Wangshu sitting in the pavilion, eating melon seeds leisurely.

He walked over and asked with a smile: "Madam, it's so hot outside, why are you sitting here?"

"It's not hot here, it's quite cool." Zhao Wangshu pulled him to sit down, "Please help me think about it, how to deal with these fish?"

Yun Hao looked at the half-dead fish, thought for a moment, and said, "Did you pickle them with salt?"

Zhao Wangshu frowned, "Goldfish is not delicious. It has less meat and more thorns. It also has a strong fishy smell. No one will eat it."

"My madam, poor people don't mind this." Yun Hao smiled, "Even if you don't need to salt them, if you send them to Beicheng, there will still be people rushing to get them."

Zhao Wangshu's eyes lit up when he heard this, "This is a good idea."

"Then I'll arrange for my servants to send the fish over." Yun Hao stood up and said.

"Wait, if you give it for free, some people will keep taking it and won't cherish it. I think the big fish will be charged three cents a piece, and the small fish will be charged one cent a piece. Although we can't completely eliminate those who resell, there is a little difference. Restraint." Zhao Wangshu said. Yun Hao nodded, "What Madam said is absolutely true, so let's do it."

"Also, also, one person can only purchase one item." Zhao Wangshu added.

"This is a good idea. Madam is so smart." Yun Hao praised with a smile.

He asked his servants to put the collected goldfish into large wooden basins and transport them to Beicheng for sale.

"The goldfish have been transported away. Let's go back to the yard. Your Majesty has rewarded you with some things. You pick the ones you like. If you don't like them, just put them in the warehouse." Yun Hao helped her get up.

Back in the yard, Zhao Wangshu saw the boxes of rewards at a glance.

Taking a closer look, I found that in addition to some precious jewelry and fabrics, there was also a Yushanzi ornament inside the box.

Yushanzi is extremely exquisitely carved, with mountains and mountains and gurgling water.

"This Yushanzi is really exquisite. Let's put it in the study." Zhao Wangshu said.

"This is specially given to you by the Emperor in recognition of your contribution this time." Yun Hao said with a smile.

"Credit?" Zhao Wangshu frowned slightly, "Does it mean that I suggested applying water?"

Yun Hao nodded, "It is a great good to benefit the people."

"A few acts of kindness are not worth mentioning." Zhao Wangshu picked up a red gold hairpin with beads and waved it in front of Yun Hao, "Does it look good?

Yun Hao took the hairpin and inserted it into her bun, "Madam, everything she wears will look good."

Zhao Wangshu gave him an angry look, "You just know how to make me happy. I'm so chubby now, how can I look good?"

Yun Hao gently held her hand, with gentle eyes, "In my eyes, you will always be the most beautiful. Even if your hair turns gray in the future, you will still be the most beautiful old lady."

Zhao Wangshu touched his face and said with a smile: "You are also the most handsome old man."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and for a moment, the room was filled with a warm and sweet atmosphere.

The couple warmed up for a while, and Zhao Wangshu continued to look at the rewards. In addition to the jade mountain son and the red gold beaded hairpin, she also picked out two pieces of fabric, "I will make this silver-red one for my coat, and I will make this silver-blue one for you." robe."

"It's up to you." Yun Hao had no objection.

Zhao Wangshu asked his maid to register the other rewards and put them in a warehouse specially designed to store royal gifts.

Zhao Wangshu, the person who made the proposal, received rewards from the emperor, and Yao Shanzhi, the person in charge of water supply, naturally received more rewards from the emperor.

This made the three princes very upset. Why didn't they think of giving water?
Let two women take this credit in vain.

At this time, good news came from Prince Liangbi that the water source had been found, which made them feel even worse. "Damn it, how could he be allowed to find the water source first?"

This news was like a spring breeze, instantly blowing away the gloom in the emperor's heart. He looked happy, "Have you found the source of water? Where is it?"

The minister of the Ministry of Industry respectfully replied: "Your Majesty, King Liangbi found a water source in a cave thirty miles outside the city. The water is sufficient to solve the difficulties in the capital."

The emperor was overjoyed after hearing this, "Okay, okay, my beloved son will live up to my expectations."

When the three princes heard this, they were filled with jealousy.
