The farm has a phoenix

Chapter 306 Good harvest

Nuanyu left with her things, and Chen Shaoyan helped her make the bed and warm the quilt as before.

Early the next morning, the two of them got up and went to the morning court. In the morning, Chen Shaoyan had specially prepared two carriages, one with the things Di Qing brought, and one with the husband and wife, all the way to the palace. and go.

After entering the palace, everyone was waiting in the side hall. Among the crowd, Ye Laogui still stood calmly. If someone talked to him, he would just chat a few words. He was not angry when no one talked to him, but just stood quietly.

Chen Shaoyan helped Zhan Jinfeng to Di Jinyan's side, winked at Di Jinyan, and then walked to Ye Laogui's side and whispered in his whisper.

Ye Laogui was taken aback for a moment, looked up at Zhan Jinfeng vigilantly, paused for a while, and then left.

Zhan Jinfeng frowned and lowered his eyelids.

Mr. Ye has spent the longest time with him. Mr. Ye is much clearer than Chen Shaoyan about the situation in his family and the relationship between people. I am afraid that Mr. Ye can hear one or two things in just a few simple words. Come three, four, five.

Seeing that Zhan Jinfeng's face was a little ugly, Di Jinyan couldn't help but said: "Feng'er, are you okay? Do you want to ask the emperor for instructions, and don't participate in this morning court."

Zhan Jinfeng shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it's just something annoying."

Di Jinyan thought about it a little, and he knew what it was. Yesterday Di Qing came to the house and said that he had brought something to Feng'er.

But he didn't want Zhan Jinfeng to dwell on this issue all the time, so he said, "By the way, Feng'er, my Mianqishanzhuang branch has been doing very well recently, and it feels like it's almost surpassing your shop."

Hearing that Zhan Jinfeng was very happy, she couldn't help laughing and asked: "Really? Brother, do you have any business tricks, how about teaching Feng'er?"

Di Jinyan smiled: "I don't know why, but recently, there will always be a few days when a big client comes and almost wraps up everything in the shop, leaving nothing behind."

Hearing this, Zhan Jinfeng was also very happy: "That's a good idea. In this way, big brother is going to surpass me. But..." Zhan Jinfeng couldn't help but said: "Maybe Feng'er is thinking too much, I don't know if I know big brother With your identity, did you come here to buy it on purpose?"

Hearing this, Di Jinyan also frowned, and pondered for a moment: "What you said is indeed very suspicious. It seems that I have to start to investigate. I thought it was a good thing, so I didn't think much about it. Consider it carefully."

Hearing this, Zhan Jinfeng smiled lightly: "What's not thorough? Looking at it this way, I may just think too much."

While the two were talking, the prince's shrill voice came to mind, and everyone rushed out to go to the morning court.

Regarding the examination of the Secretary of Agricultural Affairs, Chunyu Yue issued a formal ultimatum today, and everyone listened attentively.

The students of the Department of Agricultural Affairs will have the husband of the Department of Agriculture and the officials of the Department of Agriculture to recommend suitable candidates to take the exam. The exam is divided into three times. The first time is in the capital. The main test is the official document, because the official People who are qualified must be able to understand official questions and ultimatums, and understand the meaning of the words. The second exam is the unified exam of the agricultural exam. Here, the exam is on the knowledge level, mostly in the form of questions and answers. The third category is skills. Assessment, to assess the best skills of the test takers, such as building a greenhouse, such as composting, such as planting trees, etc. If the examiner is very proficient in more than two skills, they can consider adding points as appropriate.

The officials couldn't help nodding their heads when they heard the words. This was the first time that the Department of Agricultural Affairs conducted an examination for farmers, and the assessment of specialized technical talents opened up another way for the whole country to become an official.

Li Shangshu thought for a while, and couldn't help standing up to meet him and said, "Your Majesty, this veteran thinks it's inappropriate."

"Oh, what does Ai Qing think is wrong?"

Li Shangshu said: "Since ancient times, there are three religions and nine streams. The status of farmers is lower than that of literati. They are scholars, farmers, businessmen, and now farmers can also enter official careers. Isn't it a disaster for the government? And they only know how to farm. Can they still be prime ministers?"

Chunyu Yue nodded slightly when he heard the words, and after a while, someone came forward to refute.

"Your Majesty, as long as they are restricted to take the examination of the Department of Agricultural Affairs and cannot be promoted, isn't that all right?"

"No, no, this old minister thinks that there are many people with great wisdom among the peasants who can be used by us. My emperor is open-minded. Since we can let women enter the court as officials, what about the peasants??? As long as we can strengthen us Great Qian Dynasty, this is a desirable and good thing."

The originally noisy and chaotic court became quiet because of this sentence, and everyone's eyes were instead focused on him.

Zhan Jinfeng blinked, looked left and right, and suddenly smiled slightly: "The lower official is a farmer. When adults discuss state affairs, the lower official never speaks out. He governs the country. The lower official is not as good as the adult. You can't compare with adults, you are the pillars of the country."

Hearing this, many people's faces softened and looked pleasant, only Li Shangshu curled his lips in disdain, and his expression was not very good-looking.

When everyone was quiet, Wang Zicheng suddenly stood up and said: "Since the emperor issued the imperial decree, he must have thought it over carefully. These things should be shared by the emperor, but now the emperor is asked to think alone. I am ashamed."

Hearing this, a bunch of people echoed in unison: "Ashamed, ashamed."

Zhan Jinfeng wiped off his sweat. Fortunately, they were all transferred in advance. In fact, since he became an official, he has always kept a low profile. He asked Mr. Zheng Weishuang to tell the emperor about anything, including the detailed rules of this exam. He did not participate in it. , but she still stands out from the crowd from time to time, she really doesn't want to.

"It's already a special case for a woman to be an official. Is this rule going to be broken again and again?" Li Shangshu's fat face couldn't help trembling.

Seeing this, Zhan Jinfeng's face froze slightly, come on, it finally burned himself.

Seeing this, Old Ghost Ye rarely stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the world is bigger than the king's land, and the shore of the land is the king's ministers. The people are also the emperor's people. As ministers, I obey the emperor's instructions."

Listening to Ye Laogui's words, Zhan Jinfeng couldn't help but want to laugh. Ye Laogui's skill at fooling people is getting better and better. With this sentence, nothing is wrong, no one can offend, and he directly throws the problem to Chunyu Yue, once Chunyu Yue said something, who would dare to refute?To refute is to resist the decree, it is to violate the will of God, and it is not to regard oneself as a person who is in front of the court!

High, it is high!

Zhan Jinfeng secretly admired it in his heart.

How could Chunyuyue not know what Ye Laogui meant? He pretended to think about it hard, and then said cruelly: "Do this first, the country now needs capable farmers to strengthen our country's national strength, and the system is naturally random. change in reality.”

Everyone agreed after hearing the words, although Li Shangshu's face was ugly, he didn't say anything, and swallowed his words obediently.

After the court, Zhan Jinfeng decided to go to see Di Qiao, by the way, ask if Di Qiao really gave the thing, and then find out the truth.

Thinking of her, he said to Chen Shaoyan: "I want to go to the palace and see the concubine Jin."

Chen Shaoyan looked up at her, knowing what she meant, he said, "I'll accompany you."

Zhan Jinfeng nodded, and the two passed a note to the father-in-law in the harem. Seeing that it was these two, the father-in-law let them go without saying anything.

When I went to Di Qiao's residence, I realized that it was indeed very lively.

Just after entering the gate, you can see the busy maids coming and going in the yard, holding various toys or food in their hands, coming and going in a hurry. Seeing them, the court ladies saluted quickly. Seeing this, she hurried in to make an announcement, not long after, Hongjiao hurried out.

"Oh, why did the two of you come together? What a rare visitor!"

As Hongjiao spoke, she invited people in.

The two walked through the rushing crowd and slowly walked into the palace.

The decoration in the palace was completely new, obviously it was redecorated after Di Qiao gave birth, Zhan Jinfeng looked around, then lowered his head, and after entering, he could hear the crying of the baby, and Di Qiao's tenderness when he was born. stern voice.

"What's the matter with you, didn't you hear the little prince crying? Why haven't the toys been brought yet!"

The hurried lady below hurriedly put the new toy on the ground, and Di Qiao hugged the little prince, shaking the toy in front of him, the little prince only took a look, and couldn't help crying again.

And the nanny stood aside, looking at Di Qiao anxiously, hesitated to speak, but dared not go forward.

Seeing this, Zhan Jinfeng couldn't help feeling helpless, so she had no choice but to go forward.

"Mistress Jin."

Hearing that Di Qiao raised her head, seeing that it was her, her expression immediately eased a lot.

"Feng'er, you're here, these useless servants, even a child is treated like this by Aijia!"

Speaking of which, Di Qiao brought the child in front of Zhan Jinfeng. The little prince was wrapped in a gorgeous little quilt embroidered with dragon patterns. His little face was soft and cute, his eyes were tightly closed, and his little body was struggling and crying. He doesn't stop, he doesn't seem to be interested in anything given to him, and throws everything far away.

"Look, he doesn't want anything, he just knows how to cry, what's going on?"

Seeing this, Zhan Jinfeng stretched out his hand to look at the child, and couldn't help laughing: "Miss Jin, the child is probably hungry."

"Hungry?" Di Qiao was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the nurse next to her, who quickly carried the baby over and fed it, and sure enough, the little prince stopped crying immediately.

"Hey, I'm really hungry, why don't these servants say anything?"

Zhan Jinfeng smiled.

Seeing that the little prince was full, Di Qiao carried the child over and coaxed him back to sleep.

While patting the child lightly, Di Qiao turned her head again and again, seeing that the husband and wife were still touching, she said angrily again: "Hongjiao, what's the matter with you, you don't even have that stool!"

Hongjiao quickly moved the chair over, and Zhan Jinfeng and Chen Shaoyan both sat down, but Chen Shaoyan sitting beside Zhan Jinfeng seemed very precious.
