Chapter 157 Reward
No matter what Bai Yuanqing thought, he turned around and finally went to farm with Xin Chuan obediently.
After a month and a half of hard work by the people of southern Fujian and people like Gu Junqing, the entire southern Fujian city has been completely renewed, the streets are unobstructed, and the stalls and shops on both sides of the street are opened one by one.
It has been a long time since it snowed, and the temperature has risen accordingly. The ice has melted, and all things have revived. The shouts of people in the city have gradually risen, birds are singing high on the branches, insects are hiding in the grass, and the river seems to be whispering and humming, as if to convey that this is spring and a new life.
Gu Junqing did not accompany Gu Jiyan to wander around the city today. He just sat on a chair holding a cup of hot tea, leisurely like an old monk in meditation, with the other hand holding a book and reading it with relish.
"Gu Junqing, now the fields have been planted, and the spring shepherd's purse has been harvested for several days. The people in southern Fujian are almost settled. Should we return to the capital in a few days?"
Because Gu Junqing didn't accompany him to play in the city, Gu Jiyan instantly lost interest. He just sat opposite Gu Junqing, looking at the cover of the book in Gu Junqing's hand, on which was written "The Art of War". He curled his lips and said in a bored tone.
Gu Junqing's expression did not change, and he seemed to have no intention of returning to the capital. He turned another page of the book in his hand and said calmly:
"After three days, we will pack up and return to Beijing. We still have some follow-up work to deal with. Of course, if Master Gu wants to return to Beijing earlier, that's fine too."
After all, they were divided into two groups before coming.
"Tsk, I won't, humph!"
Gu Jiyan was annoyed when he heard Gu Junqing asked him to return to Beijing alone early. If his father had not asked him to leave first, how could he be absent when they were researching spring shepherd's purse? He had no sense of participation at all. Fortunately, he was still useful at the last moment.
I stayed here to see Gu Junqing reading, thinking so in my heart, I stood up, found an excuse and left the room. He planned to go to the brothel in the city.
At this time, Gu Junqing looked up at his back with a thoughtful look in his eyes, then lowered his eyes to hide the emotions in his eyes.
These are all follow-up work and will not take much time. To be on the safe side, Gu Junqing decided to stay for three days.
Three days passed quickly and it was time for the group to return to Beijing.
Now the people in southern Fujian have completely let go of their guard against Nanfeng Village, and have also learned that their own county magistrate has married Liu Yao, the head of Nanfeng Village.
So when Gu Junqing, Xin Chuan and others left southern Fujian, the common people Bai Yuanqing, Liu Yao and the people from Nanfeng Village stood at the city gate and watched them walk away, and only went back when they could no longer see their shadows.
The journey would take several more days, but the only consolation was that at least the conditions on the way back were much better than on the way there. They came in the biting wind and snow, but returned bathed in the fragrance of flowers, sunshine and rain.
As for the capital, news had been received three days ago that the area of southern Fujian had been settled by Gu Junqing and others, and there had been no disturbances, so issues such as refugee resettlement and food supply were resolved within three months.
This was beyond the expectations of the court ministers. They thought that Gu Junqing would have to stay in southern Fujian for at least three months, but they completed it in less than two months, which caught everyone off guard.
No wonder the number of assassinations on the road has decreased so much.
Gu Junqing looked down at the rain on the ground, thinking to himself. It was already afternoon when the sun was setting on the day he returned to the capital. The capital was not colder than southern Fujian, but the wind was much stronger than southern Fujian. Many people and stall owners could not stand the slightly cold spring wind, so they left their stalls early and returned to their own places.
So the street was wide, but there were still some people who didn't have time to go back. When they saw Gu Junqing and a group of people riding horses with long swords on their waists, looking so heroic, they cheered in surprise. Their faces had the same simple smile as when they set out, and a bit of uncontrollable joy, as if they were happy for them.
Gu Junqing looked at them, his lips curled up, and he couldn't help but laugh along.
The next day after the group returned to Beijing, Qi Yunjin rewarded them generously in the court, including, of course, the magistrate Bai Yuanqing who was far away in southern Fujian.
Qi Yunjin originally intended to be promoted, but Gu Junqing's words dispelled this idea. As for the words, Bai Yuanqing asked Gu Junqing to bring them to the emperor's ears. Anyway, the meaning of the words was to decline the promotion and did not want to rush to the capital.
After all, Bai Yuanqing is actually an intelligent man. Perhaps he has already seen that although the capital city appears to be friendly on the surface, there are actually undercurrents.
The emperor was very generous in rewarding Gu Junqing this time. He stuffed all the treasures into Gu Junqing's pocket, which made the ministers envious and jealous.
Compared with Gu Junqing, Gu Jiyan's reward was much less than Gu Junqing's.
The specific reason is that Gu Junqing, together with his Qingyi Qinghe and doctors from southern Fujian, used sweet shepherd's purse and spring leaf grass seeds to graft and transfer spring shepherd's purse, which allowed the agricultural industry to develop further and increased people's income from food.
This was also something that people in the capital had not expected. Asking Gu Junqing to provide disaster relief actually allowed her and her subordinates to research something that would benefit the people of the entire country. It was truly enviable and infuriating.
Gu Junqing was too lazy to pay attention to their jealous feelings.
These things were given to her by the emperor and she was allowed to distribute, manage and use them herself. Spring shepherd's purse was developed by Qingyi Qinghe and the doctors from southern Fujian.
So these rewards would naturally be distributed to them. As for himself, Gu Junqing believed that he did nothing. He just helped out on the side and used his memories of his past life to pull them back from the wrong direction and guide them to the correct line of thought. Apart from that, there was nothing else.
Let’s put these things aside for now. Gu Junqing really doesn’t want to put any extra thoughts here.
It should be focused on the long-term divorce.
In the first half of the month, the news of Chang Yuan Hou divorcing his wife was still a hot topic among the people in Beijing. Now the heat has died down, so it is normal that Gu Junqing did not know about it immediately when she just returned to Beijing. However, Ji Rang was really decisive and efficient. He found out the truth about Chu You on the third day after she left Beijing.
Chu You killed Zhang Qing for revenge.
