Traveling through ancient times and taking space to farm
Chapter 42: The Imperial Decree Arrives
The Mid-Autumn Festival is also taken very seriously in this era, almost the same as the Spring Festival.
Because the autumn harvest is about to begin after the festival, every household has to weigh some meat. Those who cannot afford meat will kill a chicken, duck or goose raised at home to replenish their body and prepare for the autumn harvest.
Needless to say, the Zhang family had more than 100 kilograms of wild boar meat they hunted to sell and give as gifts, so there was no need to save on eating.
At the end of the morning, a group of government officials, riding tall horses, with a green carriage in the middle, slowly walked to the village chief's house. When the village chief came out and saw a group of government officials, his legs were so frightened that they softened.
Later, the government servant who came to lead the way came over and explained that he was going to the Zhang family who had donated the acorn noodle making method, so he asked him to lead the way, and then he recovered.
He carefully led the way, but fortunately the two families were not far away.
The village chief came to the door of Zhang's house and knocked several times, and Zhang Shujun came to open the door.
Zhang Shujun was frightened when he opened the door and saw the village chief and the government servants coming to the door.
"Village...Village Chief, what's going on? Why are there so many government servants?"
"I don't know either! You asked me to lead the way." The village chief really didn't know what was going on.
The county magistrate Guo Tingyu also got off the carriage at this time. The village chief had seen the county magistrate. When he saw Guo Tingyu getting out of the carriage, he plopped down and knelt on the ground.
"The common people have seen the county magistrate, and I would like to pay my respects to you." After saying this, he kowtowed seriously, and his forehead turned red.
When Zhang Shujun saw the village chiefs knelt down and kowtowed, he also followed suit and kowtowed.
"Get up quickly. I'm not here today to see you praying for me and kowtow. Let the Zhang family come out quickly to receive the imperial edict." Guo Tingyu said.
Zhang Shujun was confused for a moment when he heard that he had received the imperial decree. When he woke up, he excitedly shouted to the courtyard: "Father, mother, come out quickly. The imperial decree has arrived. Come and receive the imperial decree."
As soon as he shouted, everyone in the room except the injured Lu Tianci came out. When they saw the county magistrate dressed in official uniform and majestic, they quickly knelt down to pay homage.
The village chief also led the people in the village to kneel down together to listen to the decree.
Zhang Shuli was a scholar, and his teacher told him that upon receiving the imperial edict, he would set up an incense table to show his awe and respect for the emperor.
So he made neat arrangements, set up the incense table, and then knelt down to listen to the order in a polite manner.
"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict that the Zhang Wang family is hard-working and virtuous, and has the courage to try. He discovered new grains, reported them to the court, and alleviated the food crisis in our country. He was specially awarded a plaque to (the living Shennong), a reward of 500 taels of silver, and fields.
One hundred acres, you don't need to pay grain tax, but you can pass it on to your descendants as a reward.

"Ms. Zhang Wang, please accept the edict!" Guo Tingyu didn't even bother to write the edict after saying it, and directly asked the old lady to accept the edict.
"Thank you, Lord, for your kindness. Long live my emperor, long live, long live." Everyone kowtowed in unison and accepted the imperial edict.
"Get back down quickly and stop kneeling," Guo Tingyu said.
"Thank you for your kindness, sir." They all stood up after thanking the county magistrate Guo Tingyu for his kindness.
When the two brothers Zhang Shujun and Zhang Shuli received the plaque, they were in agitated moods and could not calm down for a long time. Their family was a royal family, and they were no longer just ordinary people.
A government official came forward and presented the reward money and the land deed together.
"My lord, you have been tired of traveling all the way. Please come in quickly and have a cup of tea in your humble house to have a rest." Mr. Zhang quickly invited the county man into his home.
Not talking about the imperial edict, just saying that he could invite the county magistrate to his home as a guest would be enough for him to brag about for a lifetime.
A hundred years later, when he went to meet his ancestors, he would be confident, and their family would be proud of their master! He would be rewarded by the emperor.
Guo Tingyu was not polite and wanted to see what kind of family this farmer was.
When they discover new food, they tell the villagers and even report it to the court. Most people want to hide it, fearing that others will fight with them.
Two girls, Han Yun and Han Mei, went to pick up the popcorn candy they made yesterday and the mooncakes they made early in the morning.
One of them went to get some tea leaves and made a pot of tea. It was said that the tea leaves were from Han Yun Space.
