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

Emperor Yongxing said, "Then I will leave this matter to you two. If you can accomplish it, I will reward you handsomely."

"I accept the decree!"

Emperor Yongxing then looked at Zhang Hulan again and asked, "Have you ever learned to read and write?"

Zhang Hulan replied, "Your Majesty, I have read a little, but not much."

Emperor Yongxing nodded and said, "I see that you have considerable experience and achievements in farming, and you should make good use of them.

I would like to appoint you as the governor of the various garrisons in the Ministry of Revenue, and you will be responsible for grain cultivation in the future. Are you willing?"

"Ah?" Zhang Hulan was a little confused. Was this asking her to become an official?

Wu Bangtai immediately said, "Your Majesty, Zhang Anren does have experience in grain cultivation and is indeed suitable for serving in the military garrisons. This will allow her to better utilize her talents and better serve the court."

Qin Bingrong also said: "It is indeed feasible. Although Zhang Anren is a woman, she is talented and should be used wisely. The capable should be given the position.

Although the duties of the various military governors are heavy responsibilities, Zhang Anren, with his experience in farming, will surely be able to manage the affairs of the position properly, so that the military farming can prosper and the grain production can be increased, which will be of great benefit to both the country and the people.

Moreover, the court needs to employ talents regardless of their background. If Zhang Anren can take up this position, he can serve as a role model for future generations, inspiring more capable people to devote themselves to agriculture and contribute to the prosperity of our dynasty."

After hearing this, Zhang Hulan also came to her senses.

She originally wanted to be a landlord in the countryside and live a carefree life. She didn't like living in the city very much.

But if she were asked to be an official in the capital, she would definitely be willing.

If nothing else, if she became an official in the capital, it would definitely be helpful to her three daughters in the future.

And it is also a good thing for the Zhang family.

If she were to be any other official, she probably wouldn't be able to do it, but it seemed that she was to be responsible for grain planting, which was not a difficult task for her.

Zhang Hulan bowed gracefully, "Your Majesty, I am willing to do my best to live up to your expectations."

Upon seeing this, Emperor Yongxing was delighted and said, "In that case, you should report to Lord Wu at the Ministry of Revenue after the New Year."

Zhang Hulan hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, can I take up my post later? I have some matters to arrange at home."

Emperor Yongxing nodded and said, "Yes, you can discuss the specific matters with Lord Wu."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Qin Bingrong asked, "Zhang Anren, how long will it take you to get home? Can you make it back before the spring planting?"

"Don't worry, my lord. I will definitely return before the rice is planted."

After the matter was settled, Qin Bingrong, Wu Bangtai and Zhang Hulan withdrew.

Outside, Wu Bangtai asked Zhang Hulan, "Zhang Anren, do you want to go and apply for employment now, or wait until you return from your hometown after the New Year?"

Zhang Hulan said, "Why don't we do it now? I just wanted to ask Master Wu what specific things I need to do in the future."

"Okay, then you come with me."

Wu Bangtai bowed to Qin Bingrong, then took Zhang Hulan back to the Ministry of Revenue.

……

After Zhang Hulan and the others left, a eunuch reported to Emperor Yongxing, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Preceptor requests an audience."

"Please invite the Imperial Master in."

Taoist Priest Xuanqing entered the imperial study, bowed to Emperor Yongxing and said, "Your Majesty, Daohe has arrived in the capital."

Emperor Yongxing was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Is Taoist Priest Xuanzhen coming to the capital?"

Xuan Qing said, "Senior Brother didn't come. It was his eldest disciple Daochen who brought Daohe and Daoxu to the capital."

"Is the child here too?"

Xuanqing nodded, "I'm coming."

"Did Taoist Xuanzhen bring any message?"

Xuan Qing said, "Brother said that we should just follow the Emperor's arrangements."

Emperor Yongxing nodded and said, "Send them to the Imperial College after the year."

Xuanqing asked, "Your Majesty, don't you want to see Daohe?"

Emperor Yongxing was silent for a moment, then shook his head, "Let's go for now."

Xuanqing said nothing more and took his leave and returned to the Imperial Observatory.

……

When the officials from the Ministry of Revenue saw Wu Bangtai coming back with a woman, they all looked at Zhang Hulan with some curiosity.

Wu Bangtai brought Zhang Hulan into his office and explained to her the duties of the various garrison commanders.

"The rank of the Zhutun Supervisor is seventh grade, and his main responsibility is to manage military camps and farming. This position is very suitable for you.

You will also have assistants under you, such as the garrison commander, recorder, and administrator, who will assist you in managing the affairs of the garrison."

Zhang Hulan bowed and said, "Thank you for clearing up my confusion, sir."

Wu Bangtai waved his hand, "You're welcome.

If you have any difficulties in your work in the future, you can come to me directly.

You and Hongyun are as close as sisters, and I appreciate your care on this trip. From now on, when there are no outsiders around, just call me uncle."

Wu Bangtai then asked someone to arrange for Zhang Hulan to join the company and told her that she could come to the Ministry of Households to take up the post at any time.

Zhang Hulan left the Ministry of Households with her head still a little dizzy. Now she had to make some changes to her future plans.

When Zhang Hulan returned home, Xiang Chunhua immediately came up to her and asked, "Sister, did you see the emperor?"

"seen."

Xiang Chunhua was very excited, "What does the emperor look like?"

Zhang Hulan replied with four words, "Extraordinary and heroic."

Xiang Chunhua said enviously, "Mom, my elder sister has already met the emperor."

"Sister, what did the emperor say to you?"

Zhang Hulan coughed dryly, then said, "Well... the emperor gave me an official position."

Everyone in the room was silent.

"Sister, what did you say? Did the emperor give you an official title?"

Zhang Hulan nodded and said, "Well, I will stay in the capital from now on."

Zhang Hulan called everyone over and said, "Dad, Mom, Big Brother and Sister-in-law, from now on, I think I'll have to let Big Brother and Sister-in-law and Hu Bing Chunhua take care of the affairs of the village.

Xinyao and the others will definitely stay in Beijing with me, and Xiaojun happens to have someone to take care of him there."

Zhang Hulan then asked Zhang Hubing and Xiang Chunhua, "Why don't we let Xiaobing stay in the capital as well, so that he and Shanzi can study in the capital."

Wang was a little excited and asked hurriedly, "Dani'er, what official position did the emperor give you? Why did he give you this official position?"

Zhang Hulan smiled and replied, "He's just a minor official of the seventh rank, serving as a military governor under the Ministry of Revenue. He's specifically in charge of grain cultivation and military farms."

The Zhang family was stunned by this surprise that fell from the sky.

In their view, a seventh-rank official was not a small official position, but an official in the capital.

Zhang Hujun asked with a silly smile, "Dad, Mom, is there smoke coming out of our ancestral grave?"

Zhang Hubing also said excitedly: "I said before that when Xiaojun graduates from the Imperial College, there will be an official in our family.

I didn’t expect that my sister was faster and she became an official.

Dad, Mom, we have to go home and pay our respects to our ancestral graves."

Xiang Chunhua said, "That's right, we must pay our respects properly. Now we have two officials in our family."

The children in the family all looked at Zhang Hulan with admiration.

Zhang Xiaobing rushed over and hugged Zhang Hulan's thighs and said, "Auntie, I want to stay in the capital to study."

Zhang Xiaojun, Zhang Xinyao and the others all stayed in Beijing, so he would be the only one left at home from now on, and that would be so lonely.

Xiang Chunhua also hoped that Zhang Xiaobing would stay in the capital. "Yes, yes, sister, let Xiaobing stay in the capital to study too."

Xiang Chunhua was particularly excited. Zhang Hulan became an official in the capital, and their family would definitely get better and better in the future.

Xiang Chunhua was so excited that she suddenly felt a pain in her stomach.

Her eyes widened and she said hurriedly, "Hu Bing, hurry, hurry, I'm about to give birth..."
