Chapter 169 Pushed to the cusp
Jing Yi didn't expect that the emperor of Jin was so avant-garde. He couldn't have worn it, right? But it was unlikely that he would think about it. Maybe he just rewarded merits.
Xiao Yilin said: "Jingyan will sooner or later restore her daughter's body. What if Jingyan restores her daughter's body in the future, others say she will deceive the emperor?"
Xiao Chenghan looked at his somewhat anxious silly son and smiled, "I knew Chu Jingyan's identity as a woman in advance. How could I say that I would deceive the king? As long as I know, wouldn't it be a fool?"
Xiao Yilin thought it was true, and his father knew it in advance, and he was granted the title when he knew the identity of a girl and a woman. There was no such thing as deceiving the emperor.
Xiao Chenghan said, "The mansion I gave to Chu Jingyan is near your Prince Jing's Mansion, so it will be convenient for you to come and go in the future."
When Xiao Yilin heard that the little girl would have her own mansion in the future, she was both happy and regretful. "Will Jing Yan not be able to live in my mansion in the future?"
Xiao Chenghan snorted and said, "She is not suitable to live in your house all the time. Otherwise, if she recovers her daughter's reputation in the future, wouldn't she suffer from damage? You have to consider Chu Jingyan."
Xiao Yilin thought it was true, and laughed and said, "It's still the thoughtfulness of your father."
Xiao Chenghan gave his son a blank look, "You are also in your twenties. You used to be just focusing on leading troops to fight, and in the future you should learn more about human relationships and worldly affairs."
As he said that, Xiao Chenghan turned to Jingyi and said, "I heard that Chu Jingyan, you have improved a land that has not grown a house in Hui'an County, so that it can grow crops, and it has grown very well?"
Jing Yi bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, I have checked it many times before I confirmed that the field did not grow crops because the soil contains a large amount of saline-alkali ingredients, which prevented the crops from growing normally.
According to my own ideas, I washed away some salt from the soil with water. As the water penetrated deeper into the ground, the impact on the grain crops decreased. Therefore, I applied some homemade fertilizer to the fields that had been washed several times.
You can plant crops.”
Xiao Chenghan nodded, "I didn't expect that this kind of field has so much knowledge. It seems that Chu Jingyan, you are very talented in this regard."
Xiao Chenghan also had his own intention to be named a marquis of the little girl. He wanted to use the little girl's ability to benefit the State of Jin. If he wanted to let the horse run, he had to graze the horse.
Not to mention a marquis, if the little girl can try to grow more high-yield food, what if she is awarded a higher title?
He also had another consideration. His fourth son wanted to marry Chu Jingyan, but Chu Jingyan's status was too low, so he also intended to ask Chu Jingyan to improve his status.
In addition, he can also use the little girl's identity to move to her.
He felt that the fourth brother was too concerned about Chu Jingyan, and he didn't want his son to be obsessed with a woman.
If the fourth brother inherits his country in the future, he does not want his emperor to be influenced by a woman.
He did not directly agree to his son's request now, just to see how Chu Jingyan is. If she is proud and arrogant, then he can lift her up or suppress her.
He also knew that the wood was so beautiful that Lin Feng would destroy it. He raised the girl to such a high position and would definitely make some ministers dissatisfied. Some people would definitely deal with the girl secretly, but this was also one of his investigations on the girl.
He wanted to see how much storm she could withstand.
Xiao Chenghan said: "Since Chu Jingyan, you have such talent, don't waste it. There is a wasteland not far from the capital. There is also no crop planted there, only some weeds grow. I give that wasteland.
You, can you see if you can also control that land into fertile land?"
Xiao Yilin knew where his father was talking about, "Father, are you talking about the wasteland near Beidaying?"
Xiao Chenghan nodded, "Yes, that's right there. That wasteland is not far from the capital. It was because there was no crops there that the military camp was built there. If it weren't for the wasteland that didn't grow crops, it would have been bought long ago.
It's right.
Now that wasteland is still in the hands of the court, she may be able to be managed into fertile land by her, and it will not be abandoned in such a large area. Moreover, I will inform the Ministry of Revenue to exempt Chu Jingyan from taxes for five years.
.”
Jing Yi felt that the emperor must have made up his mind long ago. She seemed to have given her a marquis, a mansion and a reward for land and gold. In fact, she had to pay a lot.
If she grows high-yield food again, it will be of great benefit to Jin State. At least it will greatly enhance Jin State's national strength.
Jing Yi was not happy because she was granted the title of marquis. She knew in her heart that the seemingly glorious marquis had many dangers hidden.
In the eyes of outsiders, she is a 15-year-old boy with no foundation behind her and is suddenly raised to such a high position. How can those old families be happy? They may secretly make something wrong.
She always felt that the emperor of Jin was not at ease. This suddenly pushed her to the forefront, which was like putting her on fire, making her unable to keep a low profile.
At this time, Jing Yi also felt the turbulent political game. Whether it was the emperor of Jin or the ministers, she had to be careful in the future.
If one day the ministers know that she is a woman, it will cause even greater storms. Although the emperor looks easy to talk now, who knows what his attitude will be?
This undoubtedly became a sword hanging over her head.
Jing Yi now regrets coming to Kyoto with Xiao Yilin. If she stayed in Hui'an County, there would be such bad things. But the emperor could not tolerate her rejection even if she summoned her.
Now she has been named a marquis and a mansion. The emperor asked her to improve the wasteland. It seems that she will settle in the capital in the future. Then she has to bring her mother and uncle to the capital, and arrange the Hui'an County.
Things on the side.
Xiao Chenghan turned his head and looked at the little girl and said, "Chu Jingyan, if you can manage that wasteland well and make it a good land and grow crops, I think those ministers in the court will not have any complaints about me for your title.
Now.”
Jing Yi is now in a difficult situation and must take over. She bowed and said, "I have never seen the wasteland, and I don't know why it is not growing crops. But I must work hard to manage the wasteland and make it grow.
Come out the crops.”
Xiao Yilin was also a little worried at this time. The wasteland was next to his military camp. He knew that not only did not grow crops there, but not many weeds grew. The white patch of white things on the ground was like frost.
Know that there is salt in there.
Moreover, the land there is relatively solid, and it is very difficult to reclaim it. Didn’t my father ask a problem for the little girl? What if that wasteland is not well managed, wouldn’t it be criticized?
