So when I went to the Yamen that afternoon, the Yamen guard at the gate of the Prefecture Yamen again saw Eunuch Deng and his party who had come to announce the decree a while ago.

They became familiar with each other, and the two of them did not do the stupid thing of blocking the person at the door. They nodded and bowed and sent the person to the courtyard, and shouted loudly: "Mr. Zhao, Eunuch Deng has come to announce the decree."

As soon as the other officials heard the announcement, they quickly and cleverly moved the desks and set up the incense burners.

Zhao Ruxi originally planned to go see people doing water conservancy work, but before Gong Cheng left yesterday, he specifically reminded everyone in the yamen that there might be rewards today, so she stayed in the yamen today and didn't go anywhere.

Not only Zhao Ruxi, but also several other adults stayed in the Yamen.

They themselves have never received an imperial edict in their lives. Now that they can kneel under the imperial edict a few times as a melon-eater, it is also a lifelong conversation piece, so naturally they cannot miss it.

Eunuch Deng exchanged a few words with Zhao Ruxi. When he saw that everyone was here and the incense table was set up, he opened the imperial edict and started reading it.

Hearing that the emperor had given Zhao Ruxi a large village with 800 acres of land, a hundred taels of gold, a thousand taels of silver, a bunch of southern pearls, and twenty pieces of silk and satin, and also allowed Zhao Ruxi to grow glutinous rice in the village, Liu Hongyu and others were envious.

His eyes were all red.

They have little background, and their native families are basically small landowners. After passing the exam and becoming an official, Liu Hongyu was honest, while Li Li was timid and did not dare to be greedy. Liu Hongyu bought several hundred acres in his hometown after being an official all his life.

He plans to return to his hometown to become a farmer after becoming an official.

Because someone was protecting him, Cai Yaozong tried every means to make money, but he didn't dare to cross the line. All the money he got was handed over, and he didn't keep much in his hands. His savings were about the same as Liu Hongyu's.

The rewards Zhao Ruxi received were nothing in the eyes of Xiao Ge, Xiao Lingyan and other dignitaries in the capital, but in the eyes of fifth and sixth grade local officials like Liu Hongyu, they were very rich.

He had to rush back to Beijing, so Eunuch Deng did not stay much after announcing the decree and went directly back to Beijing.

Zhao Ruxi was really happy to receive this reward. This reward completely suits her liking.

That afternoon she sent Zhou Chun to take over Zhuangzi.

Zhou Chun has taken over and rectified several villages. He is familiar with the methods and the routines are the same. Beat the village servants, organize training, improve wages, establish schools, and win people's hearts? As long as you do these one by one? You can do it immediately.

Zhao Ruxi didn't need to worry about making Zhuangzi docile.

So she next focused all her energy on improving the water conservancy system around Nanyang.

Two groups of people were recruited for corvee work? Two hundred people to open up wasteland? Two hundred people to build water conservancy projects.

Zhao Ruxi divided the water conservancy workers into four groups of fifty people. Four places were excavated at the same time to correct the original imperfect water conservancy system bit by bit. Places with high terrain? She also planned to erect her improved elevated highway.

water wheel.

Xiao Ge acted very quickly. Zhao Ruxi received the imperial edict, and over there he asked someone to draw farm tool design drawings with dimensional data and sent them to each province one by one.

The time that Wu Zong received the design drawings was about the same as the time that Zhao Ruxi received the reward, and the Gusu side was only one day behind.

"The Zhao Ruxi written above is the daughter of Mr. Zhao? The one who was just married as Princess Qi?" Looking at the instructions on the farm tool diagram? Zhang Shun couldn't believe his presbyopia and handed the design to his master.

Let him see it.

The master squinted his eyes and looked at it, nodded and said: "Exactly. Isn't it written above? They were developed by Zhao Ruxi, a fellow governor of Nanyang Prefecture, and Zhao Zhiwei, so the emperor named these two new farm tools Zhao's nail hoe and Zhao's nail shovel.

"

Confirmed that it was made by Zhao Ruxi, Zhang Shun smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Back then, I wanted my nephew to marry Zhao Zhiwei. It was like a toad wanting to eat swan meat. As for my nephew? Even if you give him a ladder, he can't even reach it.

.Fortunately, I had the self-awareness to stop it in time? Otherwise, it would be hard to say whether I would still be sitting in this position today."

It is really tiring to compete with the royal family for a daughter-in-law.

The master didn't say anything. But he was complaining in his heart: How can you be self-aware? It's obviously a difference between cloud and mud? People don't even look at your nephew? You are afraid of offending others, so you don't dare to ask him to come forward, okay?

?

Zhang Shun didn't expect him to say anything. He picked up the letter, stood up and went out, went to Zhao Yuanxun's place next door, showed him the letter, and blew a wave of rainbow farts at him.

Zhao Yuanxun was naturally very happy. Seeing that it was almost time to reach the lower office, he said, "I'll go back and tell my mother the good news."

"go Go."

Zhao Yuanxun returned home and told the old lady about the matter. The old lady was also very happy.

"I knew Sister Xi was a capable person and never lied to me. She said she would marry before she was seventeen years old. No, she was directly attracted by the royal family and was going to marry into the royal family and become a princess. Oh my, I really didn't expect that.

Our Suiping residence can still have such a glorious day."

Speaking of these, the old lady was particularly emotional.

No matter how hard she and Zhao Yuanxun and the Zhu family worked in those years, the Hou Mansion was going downhill day by day. When the Hou Mansion was demoted to the Earl's Mansion, she was immediately disheartened and did not dare to think about returning to the original state.

Glory.

Unexpectedly, in just two or three years, Zhao Ruxi directly took the uncle's house away. He first became a disciple and made people dare not look down on the uncle's house. Then he showed off his talents and made people look at the uncle's house with admiration. He even offered his father an official position.

Now she has passed the exam and become a princess.

If I were in the capital now, I would definitely be the target of flattery from everyone when I went to a banquet. Isn't it very different from how I was treated three years ago?

She used to place her hopes on her children and grandchildren, but she didn't expect that in the end, it would be her granddaughter who restored the glory of the uncle's house. She was also a granddaughter who was replaced and raised outside since she was a child.

This made her feel very complicated. She didn't know how to treat Zhao Ruxi well in order to repay her for everything she had brought to the Suiping residence.

"You can write and ask again to see if the wedding date has been set. Our family is now divided into two places, and we can't spend the New Year together. I don't know how Sister Xi's dowry is being purchased."

Knowing that Zhao Ruxi had been granted a marriage to King Qi, she wanted to go to Nanyang to arrange the marriage, but letters from Zhu and Zhao Ruxi dissuaded her.

Zhao Ruxi said that everything should be done with courtesy; Zhu said that it was winter now and Gusu was a little warmer than Nanyang. It would be better for her health to stay in Gusu. As long as she takes care of herself and stays healthy, she would be helping everyone.

Very busy.

After Zhu said this, the old lady no longer mentioned going to Nanyang and stayed in Gusu.

Winter is the season most likely for the elderly to get sick. If she goes to Nanyang and accidentally gets sick on the way or in Nanyang, not only will Zhu be unable to spare the energy to arrange marriage arrangements for Zhao Ruxi, but even Zhao Ruxi will not be able to work with peace of mind. She goes
