Chapter 227 Yu Xiu Becomes an Official
In the evening, Yu Zian returned to the camp.
Seeing that Yumian was preparing to reply, he became angry again, "Ask your mother if I'm cheating on you."
"Impossible, Dad. This was all Second Brother's own decision. Mom is also a victim."
"Yes, write a letter home and ask someone to send your second brother over. It doesn't matter where you farm."
Yumian twitched his lips, "Dad, are you planning to abuse my second brother?"
Yu Zian shook his head seriously, "No, I think your second brother's farming skills in the farm are mature, so he should use his skills in a wider world and a bigger stage.
By the way, write a letter to your father. We need people here. Ask him to release all the slaves in the pawnbrokers and bring them to the northern border. Remove their slave status and give them tiled houses and land as rewards."
The jade hands-free pen wrote quickly that this was a good thing that would benefit the country and the people.
"Also, ask your mother to bring various farm tools, advanced ones, you know."
Yumian was very happy. This not only reduced the number of slaves and saved the hard-working people, but also solved the problem of no one in the northern border.
He was very relieved that his father finally stopped nagging him about whether he was cheated on or whether his mother had cheated on him.
After Chu Huai received the letter from his eldest son, he thought this was a good idea.
He immediately issued an order to release all pawnbrokers in the country, and all men, women, young and old, were nationalized and sent to the northern border. Anyone who violated the order would be killed without mercy.
Then another decree was issued, appointing Xie Lin as the General of the Cavalry, Yuan Xiao as the General of the Divine Martial Arts, and Li Yan and Chen Feng as the Generals of the Imperial Guard.
The four of them were jointly responsible for this matter. Each of them led 10,000 soldiers and set out in four directions with the weapons and equipment provided by Lan Qiyan.
During this period, eight pawnshops that disobeyed the order were dealt with, which can be said to be uprooting them.
A total of 2351 pawnshops of varying sizes were taken over, with a total of people.
Except for 32 seriously ill elderly people, the rest were all freed from slavery and headed to the northern border.
This time, they were escorted by General Huoqi, General Shenwu, Xie Lin and Yuan Xiao, and Yulin accompanied them.
Li Yan and Chen Feng are stationed in the capital, responsible for the safety of the capital and the imperial palace!
Also brought along were seeds of crops such as wheat, corn, soybeans, potatoes, sweet potatoes, cotton, as well as various agricultural tools such as tillers, threshers, shovels, and spades.
Among these people, Lan Qiyan found the blacksmith and gave him the drawings of the new farm tools. He also found the embroiderer and the tailor and gave them the drawings of the improved clothing styles.
There were also people who could make tofu, butcher pigs, make sugar figures, and so on. As long as they had a skill, Lan Qiyan gave them ways to make money.
Without any skills, Lan Qiyan gave them several kinds of easy-to-grow Chinese herbal medicine seeds, such as toad grass, southern star, cow tendon grass, etc.
All those who have taught new technologies are recorded in a unified register by the Ministry of Industry.
By the way, there is another important person in this team, that is Yu Xiu.
Before leaving, Lan Qiyan pointed out that the country currently has no officials specifically responsible for managing agriculture.
This kind of agriculture is generally managed jointly by the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households, with unclear responsibilities and lack of professional expertise.
I knew earlier that food is the most important thing for people, and people are made of iron and rice is made of steel. If you don’t eat for a meal, you will feel hungry.
Lan Qiyan let Chu Huai starve for three days, and then consider whether it is necessary to set up a special management department for agriculture.
Chu Huai did not go hungry for three days. He led the historians to look up ancient books and discovered that there had been a department called Sinongsi in history that was specifically responsible for managing agriculture.
He thought that the name "Si Nong Si" was a bit difficult to pronounce, so he changed it to Sinong Bu, which had the same status as the Six Ministries.
The central government set up thirteen officials, whose positions were as follows: one Grand Minister of Agriculture of the first rank, two Grand Ministers of Agriculture of the third rank, four Junior Ministers of the fourth rank, six Grand Ministers of Agriculture of the sixth rank, and the rest were local Ministers of Agriculture, whose status was the same as that of county magistrates.
After confirming it, Chu Huai specially issued an edict to appoint Yu Xiu as the Shaoqing of the Ministry of Agriculture, a fourth-rank official.
Although Yu Xiu was good at agriculture, he could not read or write. He felt that he had brought honor to his family by becoming a fourth-rank official.
According to Yu Xiu's comprehensive ability, he is not worthy of a high-ranking official position, and if Lan Qiyan disagrees with a low-ranking official, she will cause trouble, and the Yangxin Palace cannot withstand a second bombardment.
Therefore, as the Shaoqing of the front department of the Ministry of Agriculture, Yu Xiu must accompany the team to command the large-scale development of the northern border.
Before leaving, he gave Lan Qiyan many warnings, reminding her not to be ungrateful and not to ignore her after getting her pants pulled up, otherwise she would be unworthy of her status as a lady of the first rank.
So he was very lucky to be kicked and then he walked away looking back every few steps.
"Mom, have you reminded my second brother?" Yu Ze asked softly.
"If you have to fart, just let it out. I don't like to guess."
"Why did Dad ask my second brother to go?"
"Discovered Beijiang, and by the way, did some work for him."
"No, that's secondary."
"What's the main thing?"
"He married a husband for you." Yu Ze said and turned away leisurely.
Lan Qiyan slapped her head and thought, it’s all over. She forgot to remind the second brother.
When this got to Yu Zian, she didn't dare to imagine how that guy would punish Yu Xiu.
You will suffer the consequences if you do evil.
Lan Xiaoqi was happy. Now there were only three of them at home. Brother Yuze had to go to work and brother Yuzemo had to go to school, so his mother was all his own.
"Mom, let's go back. We can't see anyone anymore. There's no chance to remind them."
Lan Qiyan pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "I hope your father will show mercy. After all, the second brother holds an important position."
"I didn't expect that the second brother is the most powerful among us."
"You are all awesome."
Yu Zhen's eyes were full of stars. "Mom, you are the best. The children you train will succeed no matter which path they take."
Xie Pinting clicked her tongue twice, "I really didn't expect this guy to be an official. Aunt Yan, you are so amazing. If there is no department, just set up a new one."
Lan Qiyan smiled bitterly. It was nothing great. He gave Chu Huai a gun in exchange. There were three bullets in the gun.
Chu Huai studied his gun every day. He didn't even go to the Queen, let alone the Concubine De's place.
In fact, he was in his bedroom studying a gun shell with bullets in it.
This is amazing. Lan Qiyan is a walking treasure. Whoever gets Lan Qiyan will get the world.
He felt that three sons were not enough, so when the Queen and Concubine De gave birth to their children, he would take them to Lan Qiyan to raise, so that she could stay here forever to serve the country.
Unborn children: You are so noble, you treat us as gifts.
Lan Qiyan: Damn it, do I run a kindergarten?
On the other hand, Yu Xiu felt colder the closer he got to the northern border. It wasn’t his body that was cold, but his soul. What was going on?
Is it because he became an official that some knowledge can be absorbed into his head without any cost?
No wonder the bigger the boss, the smarter the person. For example, my eldest brother is getting smarter and smarter.
But what about mother?
She is a first-class imperial concubine, why is she acting like a fool?
Lan Qiyan, who was communicating with Han Yang at home, couldn't stop sneezing.
No, they are discussing agriculture!
Yu Xiu thought for a while but couldn't figure out why he was cold, but when he looked up and saw his tall father riding a horse and wearing armored battle clothes, he finally understood why he was cold.
Mother, help me, your most lovely son is about to meet his grandmother...
