Chapter 22 Conferred the Title of Princess Qingyun
Upon hearing this, everyone's hands trembled with excitement. Could Lord Qin even make salt and sugar? What else couldn't Lord Qin do? Suddenly, they remembered the law. Making sugar privately wasn't a serious offense, but making salt was. The lightest punishment was twenty strokes of the cane, and the heaviest was exile to a harsh, cold land. Thinking of this, everyone's eyes instantly swept over the officials of the Ministry of Justice and the Censor-in-Chief, as if to say, "If you dare to punish us, we dare to beat you up."
Officials from the Ministry of Justice and the Censor-in-Chief: Can you please be reasonable? Did we say we wanted to punish Lord Qin? The Emperor hasn't even hinted at holding him accountable, do you think we dare to?
The Emperor lowered his head and ate his meal attentively. Since it wasn't his business, he wouldn't hold the Qin family girl accountable. Hmm, this food is really good. It's time to think about what to reward the Qin family girl with. He can't directly make her a king, but a princess would be fine. He'll have to carefully consider the title and fiefdom after returning to the palace.
Su Jinyun carefully observed the Emperor, and after confirming that he would not hold Qin Qianlou accountable, she lowered her head and ate her meal with peace of mind.
As for Prime Minister Qin, he didn't care at all. As long as Luo'er didn't rebel, no one would make trouble for her with the various items his daughter had brought out. As for whether Luo'er would rebel, there was no need to think about it. If Luo'er wanted to rebel, why would she bring out these things that benefit the country and the people?
After having dinner at Qin Qianluo's farm, everyone stayed a while longer. The Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Agriculture surrounded Qin Qianluo, while the others could only look around. The farm of young Lady Qin was also very beautiful at night. The two sides of the road were brightly lit, and walking at night had a unique charm.
Qin Qianlu handed the newly printed farm tool blueprints to the Grand Minister of Agriculture, and then asked the farmers on the estate to show him how to use them. She also gave the biogas digester information to the Minister of Works and explained it to him in detail, thinking that she would bring them back tomorrow to take a closer look at the working principle of the biogas digester.
As for steel and weapons, Qin Qianluo was once again stumped, wondering to herself...
"Isn't there too much stuff now? If we also give them the blueprints for steel and weapons, won't the Ministry of Works be overwhelmed?"
001 "Probably not. There aren't many newly appointed officials; they shouldn't be too busy. Perhaps Luo Bao should wait until they have complete control of the biogas digester before supplying the weapons and steel? The biogas lamps配套 with the digester also need to be manufactured; perhaps they really won't be able to handle it all."
Qin Qianlu lowered her head in thought. Prime Minister Su, Prime Minister Qin, the Emperor, and the two princes were so anxious that they wished they could come forward themselves. They desperately gave the Ministry of Works a look, and the military officers were also anxious, just short of stepping forward themselves.
The Ministry of Works staff: We didn't say anything. This is what Lord Qin himself is thinking. We don't disagree!
They exchanged a glance and sighed inwardly. Just as Shi Xingbai was about to speak, he heard the inner voice ring out again.
"Forget it, let's give it to them now. The Ministry of War can help with the weapons, and steel is also important in the era of cold weapons. In winter, the barbarians will probably invade the border people again. With sharper weapons and stronger armor, our soldiers' chances of survival will increase significantly. Mainly, I'm afraid I might forget and miss the best time, causing unnecessary casualties among the border soldiers."
001 unconditionally supports Qin Qianluo's decision. "Okay, Luo Bao, I've already found the blueprints for the weapons and steel. Luo Bao can just take them."
Hearing this, everyone felt a surge of emotion. Lord Qin had always been so considerate of the soldiers and the people, and he was also very thoughtful. Everyone was deeply moved. Looking at that beautiful woman, they had an urge to go forward and hug her, but they were scared off by a look from Prime Minister Qin.
The generals' eyes reddened again. What a wonderful Lord Qin was! He could consider both the common people and the soldiers. Tianxuan Kingdom was blessed to have Lord Qin.
Su Jinyun smiled as she looked at the little one, feeling comforted. She knew that Qianluo would think things through carefully before taking any action.
Qin Xiang looked at his son, his face full of pride. "Look, this is our Luo'er. How thoughtful and meticulous she is!"
The Second Prince Ning Chenyu, who loved martial arts, was already rubbing his hands excitedly. He had no idea how useful the weapon blueprints that Lord Qin had taken out would be.
Qin Qianluo pretended to go to the cabinet to get the blueprints, and handed them to Shi Xingbai, saying, "Lord Shi, these are blueprints for several weapons and steel smelting methods that I obtained by chance. Steel is harder than iron. Lord Shi can study them and see if you can forge them."
Shi Xingbai solemnly accepted the blueprints, not even bothering to thank him, and immediately opened them. Looking at the exquisite weapons, he was filled with excitement. The generals and Ning Chenyu quietly moved behind Shi Xingbai, and looking at the blueprints, they were also very excited.
Everyone returned home satisfied, and Qin Qianluo also thought it over carefully. After confirming that there were no oversights, she used the old method to put the refining methods for salt and sugar in her father's study, and then went back to her own courtyard to rest.
After receiving the prescription, Prime Minister Qin sent it to the palace overnight. The Emperor ordered people to extract it as soon as possible and was relieved. He then carefully discussed with Su Jinyun how to write the reward for Qin Qianluo.
The next morning at court, after everyone had taken their positions, Eunuch Liu stepped forward with the imperial edict: "Qin Qianluo, step forward to receive the edict."
Qin Qianlu was stunned for a moment. Was she going to be promoted again? No, this is good enough. She walked into the hall, knelt down and received the imperial decree.
Eunuch Liu cleared his throat, opened the imperial edict, and announced loudly: "By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees:"
I, by the grace of Heaven, inherit the grand legacy of my ancestors. Now there is Qin Qianluo, daughter of the Left Chancellor Qin Shouzhen, a fifth-rank official, who is gentle and refined, beautiful and talented, virtuous and courteous, and whose character is pleasing to all. Her appearance is graceful, like a lotus emerging from the water; her talent is outstanding, like the bright moon illuminating the sky; her virtue is radiant, and her conduct is elegant. She is truly a model of a female official.
In recognition of her virtue and talent, Qin Qianluo is hereby granted the title of Princess Qingyun, the fief of Jinxiu County, and bestowed with a pair of white jade ruyi scepters, two coral trees, eight hundred bolts of brocade, and one thousand taels of gold. Furthermore, the Ministry of Works is ordered to construct a grand and imposing residence for the princess in the eastern district of the capital, reflecting her noble status. It is hoped that she will reside there peacefully, uphold benevolence and virtue, serve as a model for female officials throughout the land, bring glory to the imperial family, and set an example for the people.
Admire this! "
"Your Majesty's great favor is deeply appreciated by me. I will certainly do my best to fulfill my duties and obey Your Majesty's orders, so as not to fail Your Majesty's kindness. I accept the decree and express my gratitude."
After bowing, Qin Qianluo rose, and the officials also bowed and congratulated her: "Congratulations to Princess Qingyun! Princess Qingyun is exceptionally beautiful and talented. Her conferment of this title is truly a blessing to our dynasty. We should all take the princess as our role model and do our best for the court. May the princess enjoy abundant blessings, lasting glory, and eternal honor!"
With a smile, Qin Qianluo said, "I am deeply grateful for the kindness of my colleagues. This honor is truly a gift from His Majesty. I will certainly live up to His Majesty's grace in the future, be careful in my words and deeds, and do my best for the stability and prosperity of our dynasty."
After exchanging pleasantries, Qin Qian returned to her seat, still somewhat dazed. Seeing that the court officials had resumed their normal discussions, she chatted with 001 in her mind.
"So I've become a princess? And I even have a fiefdom and a mansion? Why is that?"
001 was very happy, feeling that the Emperor was thoughtful. "Luo Bao brought out so many good things yesterday, she deserves a reward! She's only a princess, not promoted, but she deserves it all! Your Emperor is truly wonderful!"
Qin Qianluo hesitated, then said, "Fine, 001 always sides with herself. 'You know, I don't want a promotion. This is just right; I won't attract too much attention. A higher position is too tiring. But where is Jinxiu County?'"
"The present-day Jinxiu County is equivalent to modern-day Suzhou, Luo Bao."
"Suzhou? Such an important place? Agriculture, silk, cotton, jade, and art—this is all mine? 001, we're rich!"
"Uh... Luo Bao, things are slightly different here. Jinxiu County still needs Luo Bao's development. Right now, Jinxiu County only has beautiful scenery; everything else is lacking."
"That works too. After all, I can just copy the answers, and I still have you."
001 proudly declared, "Yeah, Luo Bao has me."
Everyone: How could we not know? Jinxiu County is so wonderful. If it can truly be as Lord Qin said, no, it's Princess Qingyun now. If it can truly be as Princess Qingyun said, then this place would be perfect for her!
The Emperor nodded in satisfaction. Indeed, it was the right decision to let the young lady from the Qin family manage Jinxiu County. This was the only way to prevent such a good place from being wasted. Today, 001 was also particularly endearing. He silently noted that the young lady from the Qin family did not want a promotion, so he could not promote her in the future. What if the girl became unhappy?
Qin Xiang and Qin Jiyuan: No, why does my Luo'er's title include the name of Prime Minister Su? The Emperor must have done it on purpose. Now that there is a Princess's Mansion, will Luo'er move into the Princess's Mansion?
Su Jinyun smiled slightly. She had suggested the title herself, and it sounded wonderful; Qianluo seemed to like it very much. She gave Qin Xiang a provocative look; she was retaliating for the tea incident, letting that old fox deliberately provoke her back then.
Qin Qianlu thought of the Princess's Mansion again and pondered, "Although I don't plan to move in, I still want to design it properly so I can bring my family to stay for a while in the future. I still prefer living with my family."
"Sure, Luo Bao, after court we'll go to the Princess's residence to print out the floor plan."
"Well, let's not trouble the Ministry of Works. They have too much work. I'll design it myself; it will better suit my taste. But I still need to report to the Emperor later."
The Ministry of Works staff: Princess Qingyun is so kind. She understands our hard work and doesn't add any extra tasks for us. Actually, we'd like to work together. Princess, you could teach us. After all, everything you bring out is of high quality, and we want to learn.
Qin Xiang and Qin Jiyuan: We feel so relieved and at ease. As expected of my Luo'er, she always thinks of us. We are so happy!
After the court session, Qin Qianluo mentioned to the Emperor that she wanted to build her own residence, and the Emperor agreed. Shi Xingbai also expressed his desire to learn from her, and Qin Qianluo agreed as well, as long as the Ministry of Works could handle the workload.
Qin Qianluo left the Qin Zheng Hall and prepared to take Shi Xingbai and the others to her farm. Just as she was about to get into her own carriage, she saw the princess's entourage walking quickly towards her. Thinking of her current status, she sighed and stepped into the princess's carriage.
The grand procession headed to the farm. Qin Qianluo sent a message home to inform her mother of the reward and explained where she was going and that she would return home after finishing her work.
As the procession passed the Princess's residence, Qin Qianluo called a halt, dismounted, and had 001 print out a floor plan of the residence before continuing to the farm.
Qin Qian, standing inside the ceremonial guard, didn't see a girl about her age watching her procession pass by with a sinister look in her eyes...
