Chapter 243 Full bloom

"Oh~ that's it!" Cui Pu nodded, "Then invite him in!"

As soon as Jiang Guangda entered the door, he knelt down in front of Cui Pu: "I beg you, the county lord, to show you a noble hand and let me go! I am willing to donate half of my family's wealth, and I will take my family to live in seclusion in the future, so that I will not come out to obstruct your eyes again!"

"Master Jiang, what are you talking about? Why can't this county understand?" Cui Pu scratched his ears and motioned for Xiao Si'er to help him up.

Master Jiang refused to get up. "You must have known what happened yesterday. You, the county lord, also know what happened to my son. Now there is really no other way, but I beg you to spare his life. I have already lost a daughter. Never lose another son!"

"Master Jiang, what you said is ridiculous. Your son was arrested by the governor. The charge was that he pretended to be from the county and wrote letters to Shangfeng to flatter him. The evidence of the crime is undeniable. The crime was set by the governor. In the end, the punishment must be in accordance with the laws of Xintang. Although it has something to do with the county, but the people of the county speak lightly, how can they have the right to change the decision of the governor? Mr. Jiang, you think too highly of the county. " Cui Pu said coolly.

Master Jiang immediately slapped himself a few times: "It's all my fault! If I could have taught him a lesson when he did something wrong in the first place, he would definitely not do such a thing. But now, it's a big mistake. It has already been cast, no matter how much it is said, it will be in vain. I know that you will not listen to the county lord if you admit your mistakes. I just ask you to show me a clear way for the sake of the face that I once donated [-] guan! "

Cui Pu's heart ached because he was so pitiful.

"Hey!" He sighed helplessly, "Since I arrived in Tianchang County, the first squire I met was Mr. Jiang. You have always supported the county's deeds, and the county has always kept these things in mind. However, your wife and children It seems that I don't agree with you!"

Mr. Jiang lowered his head: "What the county lord said is true. Zhuo Jing is too soft-tempered, and he didn't raise his children well, so that they entrapped you, the county lord, again and again. It's our fault!"

"Since you know where you are wrong, then this county will not say too much. This county has heard from the elders since I was a child that marrying a wife should marry a virtuous one. One virtuous wife will be blessed for three generations. It's just that your family doesn't seem to realize this. And since you didn't realize this, you must pay the price for this wrong choice." Cui Pu said slowly.

Mr. Jiang was scolded and had no choice but to nod: "The county lord is right. I just ask the county lord to show you a clear way because he has always supported everything you do."

"Actually, Ming Lu doesn't need to be referred by the county at all, you just have to wait a little longer, won't Ming Lu come to you by himself?" Cui Pu laughed.

"Xianzun, what do you mean by that—" Mr. Jiang paused as he spoke, his face turned pale for a moment, "Xianzun, are you being too ruthless in doing this?"

"If Mr. Jiang wants to keep his son, it is impossible not to pay a price. Moreover, for the sake of the money, the county let Lingmei go, and did not pursue the wrong things that the son did in a moment of confusion. As a result Who knows, the result of connivance is that he joins hands with others to harm the county! What he did, the county doesn't say, you know it yourself. Do you think it would be you, would you be able to swallow this breath? The county will see In terms of your face, it’s already very good that you didn’t add insult to injury. What do you want the county to do? Take the initiative to ask the governor not to pursue this matter and let him go home? Do you think it’s possible? If the county is willing, the governor He will not agree! If he framed the court officials, if this kind of thing is not severely punished, someone will follow suit in the future. If there are more people who learn from it, the foundation of the country will be unstable. When the time comes, it will be all the connivance of the county. Do you think this county will accuse yourself of such a crime for nothing?" Cui Pu said coldly.

Master Jiang twitched his lips, but did not speak.

Cui Pu waved his hand: "You really shouldn't come to this county to ask for this matter. You should understand that with this county's temperament, as long as this county thinks, your son's life will not be saved at all, even your entire Jiang family It’s overturned. It’s just not in this county. This county has done its best, so don’t ask for more, this county can’t do it!”

Hearing the last sentence, Mr. Jiang's body flickered, and his face was finally full of despair.

"I understand the meaning of the county lord. Thank you for pointing out this clear way, I know what to do." After finishing speaking, he got up and walked out with his back bent.

More than a month later, another person came from Chang'an.Not many people came this time, but their status was much higher than last time. It was led by Gao Lishi, the valet next to the saint!
Kneeling on the ground, listening to Gao Lishi finish reading the content of the imperial decree, then receiving the imperial decree and returning to the room, Cui Pu was still dizzy and unable to react.

"Miss, is your husband so happy?" Hong Dou asked in a low voice.

"I think I'm so angry! Everyone else has been promoted to rank, only Mr. Lang has received a bunch of unrealistic rewards. If you ask me, I will definitely not accept it. Obviously Mr. Lang is the one who has contributed the most!" Xiao Si'er muttered in a low voice. .

Mu Jiaojiao shook his head: "The sage bestows officials according to the amount of contribution to other people, that is to reward all their contributions at one time. And only give Langjun a pile of gold, silver, cloth and silk, as well as a few words of encouragement from the imperial decree." If so, that means—the sage has even greater rewards to come! As long as he works hard in the days to come and does not make mistakes, and promotes the planting of sweet potatoes, when the three-year term of office expires, he will automatically There is a good place to go."

"Yes!"

As soon as his words fell, Cui Pu stood up suddenly and hugged her into his arms. "My wife is still the smartest, she can clearly analyze the thoughts of the sage, and my husband thinks the same way!"

Seeing this, Xiao Si'er and Hong Dou quickly retreated.

Mu Jiaojiao smiled and looked at the man in front of him who seemed to have just woken up: "Finally realized?"

"Yeah, I finally realized it!" Cui Pu nodded, and a big smile finally bloomed on his face, "This time, we really blossomed in full bloom! I'm so happy, it's even better than me getting the saint's award alone." It’s much happier to be rewarded, although I still haven’t figured out why.”

This time, they really are in full bloom.

The more than 4 catties of sweet potatoes were transported back. After seeing it with his own eyes, the saint was overjoyed.Then I scanned Cui Pu's memorial, and waved my hand—reward!

Mu You, who brought sweet potatoes from Tianzhu back to the New Tang Dynasty, made the greatest contribution. He was rewarded as a general of Guide from the fifth rank, and he could inherit another generation.And Wei Zhuang, who donated [-] guan for the cultivation of sweet potatoes, was also awarded a Xuanjie Xiaowei on the eighth rank.Other gentry, such as Mr. Jiang, who contributed to this matter, were also rewarded with nice official positions according to the amount of money they contributed.Of course, these official positions are all vain, and they are only responsible for receiving a certain salary from the court every year, and they don't have to do anything.

But isn't that what everyone wants?

As for Wuxing Town, the sage personally mentioned the word "No. [-] Town in the World", and every household in Liujia Village below also received silver rewards from the sage.Especially Liu San's family with the highest yield per mu was personally received by Gao Lishi and said a few words.

In other words, there are many more officials in Tianchang County all at once.Although the official position is small, it is bestowed by the saint!That's worth the money.

It is also famous all over the world, and there is also a new food in Tianchang County-sweet potato.Now the price of sweet potatoes in the restaurant has been skyrocketed, and everyone wants to taste the taste of this food first.As a result, so many people flooded into Tianchang County in a short period of time that the place was almost overwhelmed.Especially Liujia Village, which produces sweet potatoes, has countless people wandering there, trying to pick up some leaks from the fields that have been dug clean.

There were so many people that Cui Pu finally had to order the yamen servants to guard him.

Anyway, the successful cultivation of sweet potatoes not only brought reputational benefits to Tianchang County, but also brought infinite benefits in terms of population and economy.Don't worry this place won't be booming anytime soon as long as it's run properly!
As long as he thinks of this, Cui Pu can't stop laughing.

But he pretended to sigh: "Hey! Back then, when I first came here, I thought about solving the problem of food and clothing for the people under my rule within a year. But I never thought that I couldn't do it within a year. Shengsheng dragged the world into a year and a half."

"One and a half years is already fast! You have never been an official before, how do you know how to operate it? And how many people have tried to breed a new breed in the past, but failed. If you can do this successfully, In just one and a half years, this is already a miracle, so just be satisfied!" Mu Jiaojiao said angrily.

"Yeah, I should be satisfied. Especially now that my father-in-law has benefited, my father finally wrote a letter to praise me! I have done so much before, and I didn't even praise me. Instead, I wrote a letter pointing out many things in my actions. Wrong, and then scolded me bloody. But this time, he praised me! He didn’t scold me a word! Tell me, does this mean that Dad has recognized my ability and thinks that I can give Cui’s parents face?"

"You have given Cui's parents a face." Mu Jiaojiao said.

"Yeah, I finally gave Cui's parents a face. In the future, what I did will be recorded in the family tree and passed down from generation to generation for Cui's children. Just thinking about it makes me so happy! Cui Pu hugged her happily and twirled around.Just turning around, his feet tilted, and both of them fell down.

But he didn't feel any pain, but he grinned at Mu Jiaojiao again, and started to giggle silly.

Mu Jiaojiao nodded his forehead speechlessly: "Just be silly and have fun!"

"That's right, some people can't have fun even if they want to be silly!" Cui Pu said triumphantly.

When Mu Jiaojiao heard it, she was also happy.
