Chapter 144 Good things come in pairs
At the next morning court session, the emperor announced the news that the dynasty had discovered a high-yield grain variety and had successfully trial-planted it, which caused a sensation in the court and the country.
The last time I went to Yunjiazhuang, I saw the officials present at the scene. There seemed to be a lot of them, but they were still a minority. This time it was a real sensation.
In fact, in the past two days, everyone has heard some rumors. Several important officials all walked with a breeze, and it was obvious that good things were happening.
While announcing the news, the emperor also announced the names of the two heroes, as well as their life stories and deeds. For a moment, everyone was sighing in their hearts at Mu Sheng's good luck.
I originally thought that the general married a commoner, and I felt a little sorry for him. After all, many people pay attention to equal status even when remarrying. Some people even marry a second wife of higher status than their original wife. Relatively speaking, the Mu family's choice was quite surprising.
I just didn't expect that although he was born into a common family, he was chased by God and fed by God.
What does it matter if you have a bad background? With this achievement, wouldn't it be easy for you to get this overwhelming wealth?
The father and daughter of the Yun family ensured that the common people had enough food to eat. The emperor could reward them however he wanted. Who dared to say no? Anyone who opposed that would be against the common people!
And don't even mention that they are not from an aristocratic family. So what if they are from an aristocratic family? Can they be better than the parents who provide food and clothing for the common people? Aristocratic families are like flowing water, and their reputation will last forever!
Besides, the imperial power of this dynasty is centralized. After generations of evolution, the power of the aristocratic families has been greatly weakened, and it is tending to continue to weaken.
Some people even started to have conspiracy theories in their hearts, wondering if Mu Sheng had known that Miss Yun had so many children, so he married her home. Although the wealth still went to the Yun family, the Mu family could also benefit from it to some extent.
Oh my! How come my own brat doesn't have such a long-term vision! I heard that Madam Yun is 18 years old, the same age as my own child. Isn't she much better than Mu Sheng, the cold-faced god?
All kinds of outrageous thoughts flashed through his mind. It was impossible to poach people, as they were all decent people. Moreover, the Mu family was full of loyal and righteous people, and countless of them had sacrificed their lives for the country and the people. They could not even admire them enough, so how could they really be jealous of them? It was even more impossible for them to sabotage the Mu family!
But it's normal to have some dirty thoughts in your heart occasionally, right?
Who is Mu Sheng? My five senses are very sharp, and I feel that there are several places where I am looking at something a little strange. But after another look, it seems nothing.
After the emperor announced the news, several ministers immediately submitted memorials, asking the emperor to reward the father and daughter of the Yun family. Among them, Lord Yang was the most excited and wrote a long and eloquent article.
Although the current dynasty did not come up with a specific conclusion, everyone knew that the reward would definitely be given.
Mu Sheng went home from court and told Yun Xi about this. He analyzed, "I think His Majesty might reward you as well."
Yun Xi didn't expect the emperor to be so generous. She thought about it and said, "Since he is so generous, I will give him the method of making cement first. It will also add some chips to my reward."
"it is good."
Mu Xuan's cement experiment in the Ministry of Industry had already been successful, but the second young master Mu still pursued quality and stability, so he directed the craftsmen to conduct experiments over and over again, and he had already become a very mature cement maker.
Before entering the palace to see the emperor, Mu Sheng and Mu Xuan first found the Minister of Industry and told him about this matter. It is a taboo in the officialdom to report directly to the immediate superior. Mu Xuan intends to take root in the Ministry of Industry, and Minister Duan takes good care of him. It is reasonable to let him know about this matter and take him along.
Minister Duan had always known that Mu Xuan was doing an experiment, but he didn't care what the experiment was. After listening to Mu Xuan's report, Minister Duan was almost going crazy.
He pointed at Mu Xuan, his hands shaking: "Such a big thing, why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had told me earlier, I would have been happy for several days!"
Mu Xuan: "I'm just afraid that if it doesn't work out, your happiness will be in vain, right?"
Of course, there is also the consideration of avoiding information leakage as much as possible.
Minister Duan: "So what if I'm happy for nothing? It's possible that such an important thing won't be accomplished in a short time. It's good that you have this idea. The most difficult step is to create something out of nothing. Once you get started and have an idea, the rest will be easy. Your mind will be opened up!"
Mu Xuan said: "This is not my idea, it's my sister-in-law's idea. She told me, and she was the one who gave me the basic formula to try. The previous water conservancy project was also first thought up by my sister-in-law, I told you about it."
Minister Duan slapped his forehead and said, "Yes, yes, you told me about that. Is this also her idea?!"
He turned to Mu Sheng and said, "Mu Sheng, you have married a lucky girl!"
Mu Sheng was of higher rank than him, but he was also considered a junior. Minister Duan was so excited that he didn't care about anything else and just called him by his name.
Mu Sheng smiled and said, "Uncle Shi is right, my wife is indeed a blessed person, and I am also lucky."
Duan Shijie: "...You are really lucky!"
He clapped his hands and said, "Quick, quick, quick, hurry to the palace! His Majesty must be informed of this. Oh, what good fortune our Ming Dynasty has! Good things come in pairs, good things come in pairs!"
