I'M THE FARMGIRL YOU CAN'T MESS WITH

Chapter 219: Joy and Anger

“That’s right, Your Majesty. We ought to issue an imperial edict as soon as possible. Otherwise, should it start snowing in the north, it won’t be easy to walk on the snowy roads. You have to preserve the seeds well. If they get wet, I’m afraid it will affect the planting.”

The ministers left behind in the imperial study responded one after another.

The Emperor, who had originally wanted to leave the issue until the next day, could not help but feel anxious. “Then I’ll issue a decree now to let the emissary immediately leave the city and head to Xingzhou Prefecture.”

The corners of Minister Qin’s mouth curled up as he cupped his hands in congratulations. “I congratulate Your Majesty in advance. The emissary should be able to reach Xingzhou Prefecture in 20 days if he hurries. In less than two months, Your Majesty will be able to see the seeds that Emperor Shizong praised highly of.”

The Emperor laughed and said, “This is all thanks to Qi Xiuyuan’s discerning eyes. The villagers of Four Tray Village also contributed greatly. For the past hundred years, they did not forget Emperor Shizong’s teachings and diligently studied the planting method of corn. Even when their land was occupied by the Jin soldiers, they did not forget their hometown and came to us with the seeds and planting methods. They deserve to be rewarded.”

After the Emperor finished speaking, he asked the Imperial Advisor to draft a decree and said, “The villagers of Four Tray Village will be rewarded with 1,000 taels of gold and a third-grade honor. Qi Xiuyuan also contributed greatly.” The Emperor paused for a moment before saying, “Reward him by promoting him to the third-grade and have him follow the emissary to Xingzhou Prefecture together with the imperial edict.”

The corners of Minister Qin’s lips curled up as he took the lead to kneel down and say ‘long live’.

The Emperor looked at the ministers below proudly, basking in joy.

The next day, Qi Feng found out that his son had been promoted from the fourth-grade to the third-grade. Although he was still only in charge of Xingyuan Prefecture’s West Camp, he was already a third-grade general. He would only advance faster in the future. When he heard that his son had discovered such an important thing without informing him, his eyes darkened.

Which father and son didn’t exchange information and help each other? Only that unfilial son would keep such news to himself. Otherwise, why would he be so passive?

Qi Feng’s smile stiffened as he responded to his colleagues’ congratulations. He could not help but think of calling his youngest son back. If his youngest son was still with him, would his eldest son still act with disregard to him?

After Qi Feng returned home, he asked the housekeeper’s son, Zhu Xingzong, to immediately set off to Xingzhou Prefecture to bring his youngest son, Qi Haoran, back.
