The Story of a Destitute Noblewoman Farming

General He, who was suspected by everyone, was not as miserable as they imagined. The burden on his shoulders suddenly loosened, and he rode his horse at full speed on the road to Chongshui.

He Yue traveled day and night and finally returned to Chongshui County during the harvest season.

At this moment, Lu Linlang was leading people to harvest rice. With the help of Taoist Zhang and Yunxi, the composition of those stones was finally analyzed after half a year, and they began to be used on crops this year.

"The rice is growing so well. I come to check on it every month, and every time I see heavy rice stalks with plump grains. Even with just a quick glance, I can tell this year's yield will be higher than last year's."

Taoist Zhang felt proud when he saw this rice field. This was the output created by his hands. He had traveled thousands of miles and met millions of people. Some of them were rushing back and forth on the road just to earn a living, some were working in the fields just for a good harvest next year, and some were squandering money, looking foolish as if they were just eating meat.

He thought that by entering the world he could save the people from disaster, but later he found out that it was just a drop in the bucket.

The past was like a passing cloud, and the food in front of him now was truly beneficial to the country and the people. He had never thought that there would be such a day. He was moved and tears streamed down his face.

However, he was not the only one present who was in tears. The people around him did not bother to observe the expressions of others, because they also deeply loved the land that nurtured them. In the past, this land grew their life-saving food, and now, this land grew the hope of their descendants.

Farming can also sow hope and the future.

They are finally no longer people who cannot survive by working hard in the fields. One day, their descendants will be able to rely on full granaries to glimpse the glory of the upper class.

"Master, thank you. It's you who has enabled us all to live in this world with dignity and given our descendants hope for the future. This heavy harvest of food represents the hope of all of us. We will definitely repay you in the future."

Those who help here are not only the Lu family from Xishan Village, but also people from the surrounding villages. They live on Lu Linlang's farm and on learning planting techniques from her, and they support her even more.

"Everyone, please stop crying. Let's cut them and dry them quickly so I can see how many there are. We still have good news to tell the Emperor."

Seeing everyone crying so emotionally, Lu Linlang also felt emotional.

The scene when she first came here with her brothers is still vivid in her mind. At that time, there were not many tiled houses in Xishan Village, most of them were thatched houses. There was only her family's house. The villagers used the silver money sent back by her father to build a large tiled house with blue bricks.

When they returned to the village, they were not ostracized by the villagers. Everyone sympathized with them.

Now, she repays the villagers' sincerity with her wholeheartedness and transforms Xishan Village. Instead of being as remote and difficult to travel as before, Xishan Village has become a holy place in the hearts of scholars.

Shuangqing Academy stands on the mountainside. Everyone who comes here has to look up. The villages below the mountain, such as Xishan Village, Chongshan Village, Qiujia Village, and Huangcun, are also small towns with a constant flow of pedestrians and merchants. Every household has built a blue brick and tile house, and children can change into new clothes several times a year.

Looking down from Shuangqing Academy, you can see smoke rising from various places, and workshops surrounding various villages in the distance. Those workshops stand in the village, surrounding the entire Xishan Village and connecting the livelihoods of all the people in Chongshui County.

Chongshui's pens, ink, paper and inkstone became the four treasures of the study highly praised by scholars. The entire county was completely renewed. Lord Xu accompanied Lu Linlang to walk around the entire Chongshui, and the smile on his face could not be taken off.

"Miss Lu, regarding your previous proposal of allowing women to enter the government, there were many who opposed it in the court. However, there were also those who supported it, led by Lord Yunyi. Lord Li and other lords also proposed it, and the Emperor also strongly supports it. In my opinion, there should be good news by the end of this year."

"I hope you can help me with this matter." Lu Linlang already knew how things were going to develop, but at this moment, she still hoped that more people would agree.

"Of course, I've been in Chongshui for many years. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I'd still be a county magistrate today, and I definitely wouldn't have the opportunity I have now. I've had many opportunities to interact with you, and I've met many outstanding women around you. If they were to be trapped in the inner chambers in the future, that would be a loss for Daqi.

In fact, even if women enter the officialdom, it will not affect too many people. In addition, the emperor did not directly promote women to enter the officialdom. Instead, they can start as low-level officials and do some clerical work. This is already a very gentle means. I think that within a few years, as long as everyone sees the benefits of women entering the officialdom, they will consciously send their daughters to study in the future, and the status of women will naturally rise.

If men are afraid that I will become a government official and feel threatened by them, it only proves that they are not capable enough, and this cannot be used as a reason to reject a woman. "

"Your Excellency is right. Moreover, the Emperor has also opened up many new official positions to serve the people. Therefore, the number of candidates selected through the imperial examinations has increased. This is a good thing for everyone. Only when the capable are given the positions can Daqi develop better."

"Yes, it's the capable who get the job. If you're willing to enter the government, it would be easy for you to become a prime minister or a general. However, everyone has their own aspirations. You've done great things that truly benefit the people. I never imagined that one day, grain production would increase to this extent. This shows your ability. If another woman as capable as you appears, it would be a blessing for Daqi."

Lord Xu was very emotional. They had never thought that the girl in front of them would be the one who could turn the tide. If it weren't for her, who knows what Da Qi would be like now. However, she herself could remain calm in the face of such an achievement, which showed that she was a truly kind person.

"Master Xu, I haven't congratulated you on your upcoming promotion yet. If I have the chance in the future, I would also like to visit Luzhou where you are. I heard the scenery there is very beautiful."

"If you are really willing to go, I would be more than happy to help you. Everyone knows that it is good to have a big tree to lean on for shade. Nowadays, the post of Magistrate of Chongshui County is the most coveted position for many officials. As long as you work hard here, you can get promoted in the future."

Lord Xu laughed heartily. His transfer order had already come down, and he would soon be appointed as the Tongzhi of Luzhou. There was great hope that he would become an official in Beijing like Lord Li in the future.

Seeing General He appear, Lord Xu smiled slightly and found an excuse to leave. General He often came to Chongshui County. Even he guessed what was going on. He admired General He's good fortune in his heart. He actually won the favor of Miss Lu. They were indeed a perfect match.
