Chapter 393 Envious
Another letter from Wen Jiuxiao was addressed to the father-in-law. Yu Guangxian was a Zhan Shi in the prince's mansion. If he knew it, it meant that the prince also knew about the sea salt drying.
Why don't you write directly to the crown prince? The emperor is still here, and the prince is just the crown prince. As a local official, he is so close to the prince. Does it mean that his life is too long?
Sure enough, after listening to Yu Guangxian's reply, the prince had a smile on his face, "Master Xiaowen is a great talent, and Mr. Xiaoyu is also clever and ingenious. If the method of drying salt in sea water is popularized, it will be a blessing for the country and the people." Fortunately."
Superiors naturally like capable subordinates, and the prince admires officials like Wen Jiuxiao very much, who are capable and do not form cliques for personal gain. At this moment, he is really envious of Wen Jiuxiao's luck. How can He De marry such a good wife like Mr. Xiao Yu? Playing at the beach can come up with a way to dry the salt.
Since it has been reported to the imperial court, the method of drying salt in sea water is unprecedented, how does Wen Jiuxiao, who has lived in the capital for a long time, know? You have to make up a reasonable statement.
Wen Jiuxiao mentioned in the letter that a family of three went to the beach to play, and Yu Zhi and his son, mother and son, were playing on the beach, splashing water on each other, some sea water fell into their footprints, and when they walked, they found white things beside the footprints . I found it very strange, so I studied it carefully and found that the white thing was salty, so I came up with the method of drying salt in sea water.
The letter did not clearly say who first proposed the method of drying salt in sea water, but the prince thought it was Yu Zhi, and he couldn't say why, it was just an intuition.
Yu Guangxian was also very happy that his son-in-law made political achievements so quickly, but he said very modestly, "Your Highness, this time it's pure luck. He still has a long way to go." He joked again, "Your Highness, Your Highness It’s enough to praise him a few words in front of the official, but you can’t praise him in front of him, young people don’t know the severity, so as not to be frivolous.”
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince laughed, "Why do you, father-in-law, still bury your son-in-law? Who doesn't know that Mr. Xiaowen is the most stable? With his merits, Gu Ye has to ask his father to reward him well. What charter?"
Yu Guangxian understood what he meant, and said: "He has been the county magistrate of Shanyun County for less than a year, so I'm afraid he won't move." Officials who are sent out usually serve for three years, and he also knows why his son-in-law left Beijing and was promoted. I'm afraid it's not easy to get promoted!
And said: "Whatever is credited or not is due to the great grace of the emperor. He is still young, so he should sink his heart and practice hard outside for a few years."
The prince said: "You should be rewarded for your merits. Father is the most just."
Yu Guangxian is naturally respectful and loyal, but he understands very well in his heart that there should be rewards, and the official position will not be promoted.
The emperor saw the notebook written by Fan Huailiang, the magistrate of Chenzhou. Fan Huailiang also knew how to do things, and asked Wen Jiuxiao to write a report, which was submitted to the dragon case along with his notebook.
Wen Jiuxiao's report is very concise, the current situation of Shanyun County, what he did in Shanyun County, of course the key point is sea salt drying, even the cheap salt. He cried poorly without a trace, and then asked for benefits.
In short, the emperor was very upset when he saw it, and he regretted throwing this capable minister out of Beijing. Especially in the early court, the ministers kept arguing about disaster relief. They had been arguing for several days, but there was no progress at all. The emperor was so angry that he immediately exploded, "Yuzhou was hit by a disaster, and the disaster situation has been reported for half a month. You haven't even come up with a charter for disaster relief. There are so many people who are not as good as Wen Qing. Why do I want you?" use?"
The ministers below looked at each other, what do you mean? Can't compare to anyone? Wen Qing? which? Everyone has not thought of going to Wen Jiuxiao.
The emperor snorted coldly, and threw out the memorial directly. The **** read it aloud, and the ministers knew what was going on. You look at me, I look at you, even more surprised.
When I heard that Jiuxiao was released as the county magistrate of Shanyun County, everyone didn't say anything on the surface, but secretly who didn't laugh at him for losing his sacred heart? I haven't heard from him for more than half a year, why is there such a big thunder all of a sudden? Isn't Shanyun County poor and bad? How did he come up with a sea salt drying? Is the salt sun-dried? Unheard of it!
If it is true, then, then... Everyone is a smart person, and naturally knows the benefits here.
Some people congratulated the emperor and flattered him, while others didn't believe it and questioned whether the sun-dried salt in sea water was real.
The emperor didn't say a word, and directly asked the **** to present the fine salt sent from the south. It was fine, white, and snow-like. You don't need to taste it. You can tell it is the best salt just by looking at it.
As the reward was sent to the Marquis of Wu'an, the ministers were envious and jealous. Everyone thought that Master Xiaowen had fallen to the bottom, but he didn't expect him to make such achievements in such a short period of time. After three years, he might be promoted back to Beijing immediately, right? How much will it be then?
It's no wonder everyone has such thoughts, it's really that the emperor's appointment of Wen Jiuxiao is too confusing. They can drop from the fourth rank to the seventh rank, who can guarantee that they won't be promoted several levels in a row?
They are all human beings, so why are other people’s sons so good? When the ministers returned to the mansion, they immediately saw that their son was not pleasing to the eye, so they gave him a good reprimand. He pulled a wave of hatred for Wen Jiuxiao fiercely.
Also hated is Marquis Wu An. Apart from his face, this old boy is very mediocre. How could he be a good son? The reason why Marquis Wu'an was able to stay in Habayashiwei safely and soundly was because of Wen Jiuxiao. I'm not very good, but my son can't afford to provoke him!
Before I heard that Jiuxiao was demoted to Shanyun County, and the person who was going to trip the Marquis of Wu'an, now silently withdraws his hand.
The Marquis of Wu'an's mansion was full of people, even Wen Cheng'an was invited to drink by someone, and they rushed to call him brother and brother. Madam Hou was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear, and directly ordered the steward to carry the rewards into the courtyard of the third room, and sealed them all into the warehouse.
Through what happened last time, she saw it more clearly. The third child, except for his wife's affairs, he is still very filial to her mother. She is not short of money, so why bother her son's heart?
Of course, there is also a reason for the distance. When Yu Zhi was in front of her, Mrs. Hou saw that this daughter-in-law could always pick out many faults. This is far away, but she feels that this daughter-in-law can't speak except for her mouth, and she has no bad intentions.
Madam Hou's move made Qin Yushuang and Su Shi who were waiting to divide the things dumbfounded. This was a reward to the Marquis of Wu'an, why did it all go to the third child? That's all for gold, and those silks and satins are worth a share!
