After traveling through time, I led the whole village to become rich!

Lu Bingzhong and Chang Weiping's faces were as black as the bottom of a pot. The Duke of Wei was a rough man who was famous for his foul language and his curses were very unpleasant.

He is the nemesis of civil servants in the court.

No one in the court could scold him more than anyone else.

Hands-on?

That's even more impossible.

Duke Wei let them do whatever they wanted, and they could only take the beating.

Emperor Yongxing coughed dryly, "Ahem, Duke Wei, please mind your image."

Duke Wei's attitude of admitting his mistake was very good, "Okay, Your Majesty, I will definitely change."

The attitude is good, but whether it changes or not is another matter.

At this time, someone else stood up and fired at Lu Bingzhong, "Sir Lu, the woman surnamed Zhang's contribution of the prescription is a great achievement.

If she asked for exorbitant amounts of money from the court or made excessive demands on it, it could be said that she had ulterior motives.

But they gave the prescription away for free, which is such a noble act, and you say it's a sinister act. That's really inappropriate."

The speaker was Yan Xiongxin, the Minister of Justice.

Yan Xiongxin suddenly looked enlightened, then stared at Lu Bingzhong and said, "Sir Lu, I remember that your Lu family seems to run a clinic and sell medicinal materials.

In the past, when there was a plague, your Lu family made a lot of money.

You are not doing this because Zhang gave you a prescription, and the herbs in that prescription are very simple, and ordinary people can treat their illnesses at home, so your Lu family's clinic has lost business and can't sell the herbs..."

Yan Xiongxin didn't finish his words, but what he said was enough.

The blow was quite severe, and Emperor Yongxing looked at Lu Bingzhong with a deep look in his eyes.

Lu Bingzhong was so angry that his lips trembled and his beard twitched. He pointed at Yan Xiongxin and shouted, "You are slandering me..."

Yan Xiongxin said, "Why am I slandering you? I didn't mean to say anything bad about you. I was just raising this question.

What? Lord Lu, you can't even let others doubt you?"

"You...you..." Lu Bingzhong was so angry that his fingers trembled as he pointed at Yan Xiongxin. But he ignored Yan Xiongxin and immediately knelt before Emperor Yongxing, saying loudly, "Your Majesty, I have absolutely no selfish motives. The reason I doubted him was because of the people of Yongning."

Emperor Yongxing just glanced at Lu Bingzhong coldly, ignoring him and turning his gaze to Qin Bingrong. "My dear Qin, do you think that Zhang Hulan should be rewarded?"

Qin Bingrong did not belong to any team. He was promoted by Emperor Yongxing. At the age of 35, he was already the head of all officials.

Qin Bingrong bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, I remember that it was Zhang who helped the people find food to survive the disaster last year. He also provided some information and data on regenerated rice, which enabled the successful cultivation of regenerated rice. The results were remarkable, allowing many people to survive the winter smoothly. This is a great contribution."

At that time, the emperor wanted to confer an imperial decree on Zhang, but several colleagues said that regenerated rice was already in the process of cultivation and could be successfully cultivated even without Zhang.

I had different opinions at that time, but the emperor did not ask me, so I did not speak out.

I think that if Zhang had given us the information and data for regenerated rice last year, it would not have been so easy to cultivate.

Even if it is cultivated, it is too late.

At that time, many people were waiting for food to survive the winter.

Because of the regenerated rice that season, many fewer people would have died that winter.

This time.

Zhang even selflessly offered the prescription. With such virtue and contribution, how could he not be rewarded?

Not only should there be a reward, but a generous reward.

Only in this way can more capable people serve the emperor and the court.

It is impossible for everyone in the world to be selfless, but as long as that person has made contributions to the Yongning Kingdom, he should be rewarded.

Even if they were serving the court with a purpose, so what?

They have made real contributions and should be rewarded.

As long as the people of the world know that anyone who serves the emperor and the court has made meritorious service, the emperor will reward him.

This will make everyone in the world rush to serve the emperor."

The smile on Emperor Yongxing's face gradually deepened. What he wanted was for everyone in the world to be at his disposal.

Emperor Yongxing asked, "How do you think we should reward Zhang, my dear minister?"

Qin Bingrong replied, "Based on her merits in these two times, it is more than enough to confer her the title of 'An Ren', a sixth-rank official."

Chang Weiping saw that Emperor Yongxing didn't even glance at Lu Bingzhong who was still kneeling, so he lowered his head and said nothing.

Duke Wei immediately raised his voice again, "Well, Prime Minister Qin's words sound like human words, unlike some of those things, which are full of filthy things."

What do you mean by human words? Qin Bingrong's mouth twitched. Why did he feel that Duke Wei was calling him a non-human?

Emperor Yongxing nodded, "Then do as Qin Aiqing said. I will confer upon her a sixth-rank imperial decree, and I will also grant her a place for a younger generation in her family to study at the Imperial Academy."

This reward is quite high. There is nothing special about the sixth-rank imperial edict. It is just a status.

But the opportunity to study at the Imperial College is a real reward.

If you study at the Imperial College, you won’t have to take the imperial examinations in the future and can become an official directly.

Chang Weiping couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, isn't the reward too generous?"

"This is settled," Emperor Yongxing said, finalizing the matter. He then ordered, "Send the prescription immediately to every prefecture, regardless of whether or not there's plague. This is to ensure a safe and secure response."

……

Daping Village.

Zhang Hulan has been curing bacon and making sausages these days, and she will bring some to the capital.

The imperial edict first arrived in Changning County, but Wu Deyong was not there. It was Xiong Zhubu who led the eunuch who delivered the edict to Daping Village.

Ye Hongyun got the news and also came to Zhang Hulan to watch the fun.

Ye Hongyun also asked the driver to drive faster so that he could inform Zhang Hulan before the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict.

The imperial edict came so suddenly that Zhang Hulan was a little confused.

Last time, Wu Deyong just gave her the imperial edict and that was it. Why is there a eunuch coming in person to deliver the imperial edict this time?

However, Zhang Hulan was quite grateful to Wu Deyong. She didn't expect that he would actually get her credit again.

Ye Hongyun said, "Hurry up and ask your parents to come out to receive the imperial edict, and tidy up your clothes."

Zhang Hulan hurriedly asked someone to call Old Man Zhang and the others.

Soon all the Zhang family members arrived.

Xiang Chunhua, with her big belly bulging, asked excitedly, "Sister, why did the emperor give you another imperial decree?"

Before Zhang Hulan could answer, the team delivering the imperial edict had already arrived at the intersection.

Zhang Hulan immediately led the Zhang family to meet them.
