Chapter 195 Reward
Chapter 195 Reward
The emperor quickly harvested all the wheat.
"Come together, let's clean up this wheat today."
Several people worked together to thresh the wheat and sift the chaff until clean grains appeared, each one plump and golden.
"Give each of these people some reward for the wheat." His wheat grew so well thanks to the hard work of these people, so he gave them some change as a reward.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The maids kowtowed to express their gratitude.
There is actually not much wheat, and each person may only get one or two handfuls, but the meaning of these wheat is different.
The emperor planted and harvested the crops himself, and they worked hard to water and care for them.
It is not easy to harvest golden wheat in such a huge palace.
The maids and palace maids were very moved as they each held a small bag of wheat. They recalled the time when they were young and used to pick wheat in the wheat fields with their families.
"Go back and make a purse and carry it with you at all times. This is what the emperor planted and harvested himself."
It carries the dragon's energy and can bless you with health and safety.
"You should also put the wheat in your purse and pray that everything will go well and be safe." A nanny said to the little palace maid.
Carrying all this wheat with me makes me feel like I’m at home.
Life in the palace was actually very good. The Queen was reasonable and tolerant towards the servants. There were no harem struggles, and one's life would not be in danger easily. There was no need to worry about food and drink, and sometimes one would even receive money as a reward from the Queen.
But as human beings, we can't help but miss our childhood and the happiest harvest scene every year.
"Father, is the meal ready? Shall we go over there?" asked the Queen.
"Okay, let's harvest the wheat. I'm a little hungry."
Several people walked towards the dining area together. From afar, they saw the emperor walking towards them. He was wearing a dragon robe and looked extremely majestic. His face had a solemn expression, and he looked like an emperor.
This was the first time that Su Mu saw the emperor wearing a dragon robe, and he looked just like an emperor, with all the domineering aura that an emperor should have.
When the emperor saw his family members coming towards him, his majestic expression faded and he showed a warm smile instead, "Father."
He knew very well in his mind that when he put on the dragon robe and was in the court, he was the emperor of the common people and was responsible for them, but in private with his family, he was just an ordinary person.
"Is the court over?" The retired emperor walked side by side with the emperor, "Let's go back and have dinner first."
"Yes." The emperor changed into simple clothes and had a meal with everyone.
"I heard that Xiangjun developed a farm tool for harvesting wheat?"
"Yes, this farm tool is called a scythe, and it is about five or six times more efficient than a sickle."
"Great! Great!" The emperor was very pleased when he heard it.
"You are a great talent from my country Huaxu."
"Your Majesty, you are too kind." Su Mu said very humbly. She also knew that she was just stepping on the shoulders of her predecessors. Those people were the real talents.
"Reward!" With the emperor's reward, Su Mu got a lot more silver and money.
There was still plenty of silver in the national treasury. A lot of silver had been poured in from corrupt officials. Apart from the money used for national construction, there was still some silver left.
After dinner, Su Mu happily went back with the silver.
"Mumu is happy?"
"Of course! Who wouldn't be happy to have silver?" Su Mu held the box of silver in his arms like a treasure. Although he had a lot of silver, the more of this stuff the better. Who could refuse silver?
"Once our loot is on the market, Mumu will be able to earn a large sum of money again."
"Hahahahaha, that's great!"
The plough started selling the next day. It was the wheat harvest season, and every household with money would buy one. After experimenting, people realized how useful the plough was, and it started selling out immediately.
Sumu also returned home with a lot of loot, as he still had more than 20 acres of wheat to harvest.
"Grandpa, I brought the sling back. It will be easy for us to harvest wheat this year."
"This is the plunder." Su Dingguo picked up a plunder and examined it. "It looks different."
"It will be easy to harvest wheat this year!"
"Have the brothers had their agricultural holiday?" Su Mu didn't see them, so it was time for the agricultural holiday to start.
"No, I heard that an exam is being organized." The exam is divided into two batches, a basic literacy class, and a higher level class for students with basic knowledge.
"Then I'll go over there and take a look."
In the temporary school room, many people are reviewing seriously.
Su Mu found Master He.
"The county lord is here?" Mr. He was copying the test paper.
"I heard Mr. He is going to take an exam?"
"Yes, here are the test papers." These are the basic knowledge that the students have learned.
"Does the gentleman have any questions?" asked Master He.
"Nothing, Master. Are the rewards ready?" Su Mu was just interfering with the Master's teaching. Her main purpose was to distribute things.
"Can you take a look at these, gentlemen?" The teacher listed the rewards for the top few places on a piece of paper. These were also stored by Su Mu with the teacher as prizes.
"These are pretty good." The prizes are awarded in descending order from top to bottom, with the top prize being the highest.
"Let's add one more thing, add the loot." It's busy farming season, let them relax for a while.
"Then I'll add one more thing." The teacher knew that this plunder was a new product of the county lord, and many people wanted to buy it but couldn't.
The rewards include practical things like loot boxes, and of course there are also snacks, paper and pens that children love. After all, these are mainly rewards for children.
Things like loot boxes can make the children's families more willing to let their children go to school and will not stop them.
"That's about it." There are two classes, and the top few students in each class will receive rewards.
After everything was arranged, when the time came, the teacher walked into the classroom with the test papers. The students sat far apart from each other.
It can be seen that the students' eyes are staring at the test papers nervously, and some are picking their fingers to relieve their nervousness.
The teacher distributed the test papers, explained the precautions and time limits, and the students began to answer the questions one by one.
They wrote with confidence and scratched their heads in various ways, but not one of them thought of cheating. These children cherished this hard-won opportunity and would not do those things.
Su Mu stood outside the window and patrolled, feeling like the dean who always suddenly appeared at the window.
"The children are all very serious." A teacher walked up to Su Mu and looked at the children together.
"Yes." Su Mu was also very pleased.
"These children are great and very hardworking. I can often see them practicing writing with small wooden sticks on the ground outside the door."
