The bad emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 357:Sinong Shaoqing

Regarding the banquet in the greenhouse, Guo Nuan invited many court officials to attend after spending a few days in the mansion.Guo Nuan mainly invited the emperor and Sinongqing to be present.

It is said that in the past, Guo Nuan met a Si Nongqing named Yan Zhuang, who was a military adviser under the tent of An Lushan, because when he was listening to opera in a brothel, Guo Nuan was assassinated by An Lushan's daughter Kang Wan. , now Uncle Yan Zhuang is working in the official office of Pei Dunfu, the Jiedu envoy of Lingnan.

Guo Nuan thought about whether it had been a long time since he and Yan Zhuang had met.Looking around now, time flies, and two years have passed since we were separated. Today's Si Nongqing is not the same person as yesterday's Si Nongqing.But during the Spring Festival, Yan Zhuang sent a congratulatory letter from Lingnan, and Guo Nuan learned about his recent situation.He is in good health and is working smoothly. He is helping Pei Dunfu to implement agricultural reform policies on a large scale in Lingnan.

After Daizong visited the greenhouse invented by Guo Nuan, he was very impressed. He said that Guo Nuan has not been idle recently.In addition, the temporary invigilator of the scientific examination has done an excellent job and solved a shocking case, which is indeed worthy of praise.

Considering that the power of the bureaucratic groups in the imperial court has almost collapsed.And Guo Nuan made a great contribution in this incident, the political situation is stable, it is time for Guo Nuan to end the snow.Daizong immediately thought about it, and with a swipe of his pen, the eunuch came on the second day after attending the greenhouse party.

Guo Nuan was soon notified about his new official position. This time he was transferred from the Imperial Academy to Sinong Temple as Shaoqing, that is, the deputy of Sinongqing.

He was a little surprised that Daizong appointed himself as the deputy minister of agriculture.By the way, Guo Nuan is not very good at farming. He usually buys vegetables and rice in supermarkets, so he doesn't know exactly how the vegetables are grown.

When Guo Nuan went to the palace to raise his concerns to the emperor, Daizong laughed. He said that any official knew how the vegetables in this field were grown.Letting you serve as Secretary of Agriculture does not mean that you will plant rice in the fields yourself, but that you will be in charge of agriculture, introduce some policies that are beneficial to farmers, and encourage farmers to increase agricultural production through effective planting methods.

Come on, Guo Nuan felt that what Daizong said was indeed reasonable.He then reluctantly accepted the position.It is estimated that Daizong saw Guo Nuan's agricultural vision in the invention of greenhouses.

And his Zhili boss, Xinongqing, is Xiao Fu, a descendant of the newly promoted aristocrats. Speaking of Xiao Fu, Guo Nuan also met Xiao Fu when he visited the greenhouse at the Princess Mansion a few days ago. According to Guo Nuan's age in his 20s and Xiao Fu's 35, Guo Nuan should call him Big Brother.

Xiao Fu and Guo Nuan were not familiar with each other before. It is said that Xiao Fu was transferred from the local government to the central government half a year ago. Fu doesn't like forming cliques and joining political parties, so he can stay alone without being affected.

Of course, due to Yuan Zai's resignation, the person he promoted to the position of Secretary of Agriculture would naturally have to pat his ass to take up his post elsewhere. Now it's Xiao Fu's turn to take the top position, which can be regarded as a big move for Daizong's political change.

Guo Nuan’s impression of Xiao Fu mainly came from his brief contact with him on the day of the party visiting the greenhouse. Xiao Si Nongqing was a steady and low-key person, and he was the most careful and conscientious official among those visiting the greenhouse. Guo Nuan had long noticed his behavior. , Regarding the principle and design details of the greenhouse, I also actively asked Guo Nuan several times.

At first, Guo Nuan thought that this new face was interested in these colorful greenhouses, and wanted to learn how to build them in his own manor, but only now did he realize that Mr. Xiao is the new Secretary of Agriculture, no wonder he is interested in those who can grow off-season crops Greenhouse is so caring.

I learned about it from Princess Shengping.Xiao Fu's background made Guo Nuan a little bit tongue-tied.It seems that Xiao Fu is still Shengping's distant cousin.

Xiao Fu's father was a son-in-law, and he married Shengping's aunt, Princess Xinchang.And counting, Xiao Fu is the son-in-law's son, that is, the grandson of Tang Xuanzong Li Longji.Of course Xiao Fu's natal family is the royal family, but in fact his grandfather is also very powerful. He was the prime minister in Kaiyuan and is the grandson of the prime minister Xiao Song.

Calculated in this way, Xiao Fu can be regarded as the queen of the official family.Relying on Zu Yin, he became Huang Menlang hereditary after his debut in officialdom.He has served as the governor of several local states. It can be said that he is an official who has been fully trained at the grassroots level and is well versed in the hardships of the grassroots.

What Guo Nuan admired even more was that Xiao Fu was also a person with strong government affairs ability. I heard that he often worked without sleep until three o'clock in the morning. The longest work record was to review official documents for three days and four nights in a row. The water and rice are sticky, this is really a workaholic.Guo Nuan could whimper and imagine the terrifying scene where she would have to work night shifts every day under the leadership of Brother Xiao Fu in the future.

Of course, Xiao Fu, who is diligent, has outstanding political achievements. He has been ranked No. 1 among the hundreds of governors in the country under the assessment of the national inspector censors for five consecutive years.This is indeed a great talent.

Especially in the year when Zachizhou served as the governor, due to severe drought, the seedlings in the farmers' hard-working fields withered and there was no grain harvest.Many people starved to death.

At that time, in the government office where Xiao Fu was located, the disaster relief warehouses used to relieve the people had already been distributed, but the people in the ten miles and eight towns were far from enough to eat.At that time, human life was at stake, and a day's delay meant that countless people would starve to death.

At that time, Xiao Fu was also very courageous. When there was no rice for disaster relief, he fixed his eyes on the imperial grain warehouse in the yamen that was used to supply the capital.The place is far away from the capital. If you send a messenger to Chang'an to ask the imperial court to open the Huangcang for disaster relief, it will take a long time to get approval. By then, the local people will be hungry All dead.

For the sake of the local people in the prefecture, Xiao Fu decided not to consult the imperial court first, and took the responsibility alone to order the prefectural government officials to open the imperial storehouse to distribute imperial grain relief.

Because of the distribution of imperial food, 10,000+ disaster victims were rescued and survived that year.Later, Xiao Fu was impeached by the treacherous officials of the court for the crime of using Huangcang without authorization, and he was sentenced to death.Later, after several influential ministers of the imperial court pleaded for mercy, the emperor took discretion and dismissed Xiao Fu.

It stands to reason that the procedures in the officialdom are very rigid, and the prescribed rules must be strictly enforced.The purpose of formulating the imperial food in the imperial warehouse is to strictly supply the army and noble officials in the imperial city, which is also a strategic requirement.And Xiao Fu broke this rule, it was really helpless.At that time, the emperor opened the Internet and punished him by removing him from office.

At the time of his resignation, all the people in the state wept and knelt down to bid farewell.

When Guo Nuan heard the princess's narration of Xiao Fu's experience, she undoubtedly felt a great sense of admiration in her heart.

Knowing that her future boss is a capable and honest official, Guo Nuan stopped worrying.After resigning from the job of the Hanlin Academy, he still has a few days to spend at home.

The Princess Mansion couldn't stay, so Guo Nuan immediately went to the Imperial Academy for a walk.By the way, this is a quiet place to study, and Guo Nuan likes it very much.And after he came to the Hanlin Academy as usual, Wang Yueyi was still reading there as expected.Sigh, she is really a girl who is good at reading.

As the truth of the cheating case came to light, and the fall of Qiao's father and son, the marriage contract between the Wang family and Qiao's family was naturally terminated.The distress about breaking off the engagement with Qiao Yun disappeared immediately.This is also very happy news for Wang Yueyi.

It is said that the termination of the marriage contract between Wang Qiao and his family has to thank Guo Nuan for cracking the cheating case.At the same time, Guo Nuan heard that Abu had invited Wang Yueyi to a boat trip on the moat three days ago, and the two of them had a great time.Guo Nuan felt that with the contact between the two, in the future, the relationship should just go with the flow.He looked forward to the moment when Abu got Wang Yueyi, a lady of great family, as soon as possible.

Wang Yueyi read the book very seriously, Guo Nuan woke her up, and turned her face, she was really beautiful.Wang Yueyi was very happy to see Guo Nuan's arrival.And she also received the news yesterday that Guo Nuan was going to be transferred to Sinongqing.

"Haha, Brother Guo is really not used to Yueyi not wearing this veil." Guo Nuan laughed jokingly, saying that Wang Yueyi's appearance was nourished by essential oils, and those smallpox scars disappeared. It has restored its former beauty and beauty.It's amazing.

When Wang Yueyi heard Guo Nuan's praise, she immediately lowered her head and smiled.

"By the way, when are you going to settle down on your marriage with Abu?" Guo Nuan asked curiously.

A trace of sweetness flashed across Wang Yueyi's face, saying that before her appearance recovered, she was still an ugly monster, but Abu didn't dislike her at all, and always appreciated her talents.And encourage Wang Yueyi to be confident that she can be cured.Last time, in order to develop lavender essential oil, I heard from Guo Nuan that Abu worked harder than Guo Nuan himself. He spent almost three days and three nights in the laboratory to prepare reagents, just hoping to develop the best essential oil solution, and let him Wang Yueyi regained her appearance, thus making her happy.

This incident was also what moved Wang Yueyi the most.Now after getting along for a long time, Wang Yueyi felt the sincerity of Abu, a wooden man, and she gradually developed feelings for him.Think about your own age is over twenty.It's an older girl too.It's time to get married.

After what Guo Nuan said, Wang Yueyi lowered her head shyly, and hummed lightly: "About next month, after my father arrives in Chang'an from another place, I want Abu to meet my father before making a decision."

Guo Nuan thinks that Abu is quite interesting.I'm going to see my father-in-law so soon.Congratulations to him in my heart.Relying on the rich net worth accumulated by Abu in the chemical workshop, more importantly, Abu is also a well-educated person in the court. Of course, he is a doctoral lecturer in chemistry in the Imperial College.Wang Yueyi is matched with Abu, I believe her father will not object.

Although Abu is a foreigner from the Middle East, the foreign culture in Datang was developed, and many foreigners came to Datang to be with local girls.This is also very natural.So Guo Nuan felt that Wang Yueyi's father could accept that his son-in-law was a foreigner.
