Chapter 75: The Emperor Knows of Her Existence!

Xingnong withdrew her hand and touched her fingertips: “This bead always leaks electricity.”

She had been shocked by it several times.

Chu Tiankuo’s lips twitched, and he looked helplessly at the pile of grain: “How do we do this?”

“It’s very simple. You just need to use your mind to pour the grain into the Creation Platform bag by bag. At this time, a light curtain will appear on the Creation Platform, and you will have a faint feeling. After you sense that the grain seeds on the Creation Platform and the wheat in the two flower pots have a slight connection, you can use your mind to choose the heavy wheat ear to improve.”

Chu Tiankuo nodded, and with a thought, he put the grain away, and then the scenery in front of him changed, and the Creation Space appeared in front of the two of them.

He used his mind to pour the wheat into the Creation Platform bag by bag.

There were a total of 300,000 jin of grain seeds, 100 jin per bag, and they couldn’t all be poured in at once, so they could only be poured in bag by bag with their minds.

Although it was very fast, it only took about a second per bag.

But three thousand bags is three thousand seconds, which took nearly an hour.

Finally, all the wheat seeds were poured in.

Xingnong looked at Chu Tiankuo, whose forehead was covered in a thin layer of sweat, and felt that it was very wise to let him come!

“Senior Brother, can you do it? Or should I do it?” Xingnong asked.

The last step is to just move your mind, and then leave the rest to the Creation Platform. It won’t be too much trouble.

“No need.” He didn’t expect it to be so troublesome, and her body was too weak, and it should be even more difficult next.

With a thought from Chu Tiankuo, every seed in the light curtain was surrounded by green light, and then his whole head relaxed.

Chu Tiankuo: “…”

The last step is so easy?

Xingnong smiled at him.

A hint of helplessness flashed across Chu Tiankuo’s eyes.

Why is she so mischievous?

Several days later.

The Shen family’s eldest branch promised to give the villagers of Plum Blossom Village one jin of high-yielding grain seeds each, and the people of Plum Blossom Village were so happy that they celebrated with gongs and drums. The villagers nearby were all envious.

However, there was still no news from the yamen.

Then the people discovered that the grain shops had no grain seeds for sale, not a single jin. What was going on?

The people became even more panicked!

So, instigated by those with ulterior motives, another group of people went to the yamen to request an audience with the county magistrate.

These days, the rice in the fields began to turn golden yellow. In a few days, it would be time to start harvesting. After the harvest, it would be time to plant winter wheat.

Assistant Magistrate rushed in with an anxious look on his face and said, “Your Excellency, many people have come to the yamen to ask when the grain seeds will be available. The crops in the fields are almost ripe, and they can be harvested in a few days. What should we do if there are no wheat seeds for the people to plant after the harvest?”

Ren Zilin was already playing dead. He didn’t know anything. Don’t ask him!

He looked at Chu Tiankuo: “Shiye, when will the grain seeds arrive?”

Chu Tiankuo said calmly: “They will arrive in three days.”

Assistant Magistrate’s eyes flickered, and then he said with a relieved look: “That’s great! Your Excellency, then you should go and tell the people quickly, otherwise some troublemakers might break into the yamen. I don’t know who bought all the grain seeds, but now there is not a single grain seed in the city, and the people are panicking!”

The dead pig Ren Zilin went out to explain to the people that the grain seeds would arrive in three days.

Anyway, he didn’t know anything. He was just a tool.

After Ren Zilin went out, Assistant Magistrate asked Chu Tiankuo with a smile: “Shiye, where are the grain seeds being transported now? Will they really arrive in three days? This matter is of great importance, and it’s not a joke.”

Chu Tiankuo said calmly: “Fuhe County.”

Assistant Magistrate’s eyes flickered, “Fuhe County is in the neighboring county, and they can indeed arrive in three days! I’m relieved.”

He was about to go out.

At this moment, Li Yong walked in, first bowed to Assistant Magistrate, and then said: “Shiye, where is the county magistrate?”

Assistant Magistrate put his hands behind his back: “The county magistrate just went out to appease the troublemakers. Tell me if you have anything to say!”

Li Yong subconsciously glanced at Chu Tiankuo.

The county magistrate said that if he wasn’t here, everything could be left to Shiye.

Assistant Magistrate was furious. This Li Yong dared to ignore him and was more respectful to a small Shiye than to him!

“What is it? Can’t I, the assistant magistrate, know?”

Li Yong hurriedly said: “In reply to Assistant Magistrate, there is an urgent document from the capital.”

✿✿✿

Chu Tiankuo said calmly: “Give it to me!”

Assistant Magistrate stretched out his hand.

Li Yong quickly handed the official document to Chu Tiankuo.

Assistant Magistrate: “…”

He was so angry!

Chu Tiankuo took it, opened it, and glanced at it.

Assistant Magistrate didn’t know why he was a little afraid of this Shiye from the bottom of his heart. He was angry, but he didn’t dare to lose his temper at Chu Tiankuo, so he said kindly: “Shiye, is there something urgent in the capital? Do I need to go out and tell the county magistrate?”

Chu Tiankuo put down the official document: “The Ministry of Rites in the capital has written to say that a Miss Shen from our Futai County has received an imperial decree archway from the emperor. They have asked us to find a good place to build the archway and make preparations to receive the imperial decree.”

Assistant Magistrate’s eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said excitedly: “There is such an amazing girl in our county! She even received an imperial decree archway from the emperor. Haha, this is really something to celebrate! Shiye, when will the imperial decree arrive?”

“The day after tomorrow.”

“So soon? I’ll arrange for someone to inform Miss Shen.”

After saying that, Assistant Magistrate hurried out.

Li Yong was still waiting for Chu Tiankuo to finish reading and give instructions to see if he needed to ask the county magistrate to come back.

He was dumbfounded as he watched Assistant Magistrate run out in a hurry.

The adults didn’t even look at the official document, how did they know which Miss Shen to inform?

Shen Residence

Shen Mingzhu’s heart was also anxious these days. She had done everything well, and all she needed was the east wind from the capital!

Calculating the time, there should be news these two days, but why hasn’t there been any news yet?

Shen Mingzhu was about to find her mother and ask her to inquire about the situation from Assistant Magistrate’s wife.

Yao Shi hurried in excitedly and said: “Mingzhu, Assistant Magistrate just came to find your father and said that there is an imperial decree coming from the capital! There is an imperial decree! An imperial decree! He told us to prepare well to receive the decree!”

Yao Shi was so happy that tears came out.

Her daughter was about to fly high!

Shen Mingzhu clenched her fists, her body trembling slightly.

An imperial decree!

It was actually an imperial decree!

The emperor knew of her existence!

“Mother, what should we do next?” She had to be calm. Every step from now on was too important for her!

She couldn’t make a single mistake!

Yao Shi also quickly calmed down.

“First, we need to prepare for the reception of the imperial decree. This matter cannot go wrong at all. Second, of course, is to spread the word about this great event! Let everyone know how amazing you are!”

Half an hour later, the Shen Residence and the Shen Family Winery were all decorated with lanterns and colored streamers!

Seeing this, everyone couldn’t help but ask, “What happy event is there for the master?”

Then soon, people in the city learned that Miss Shen from the Shen Family Winery had received an imperial decree archway from the emperor for inventing the oil-saving lamp.

For a time, Shen Mingzhu became a celebrity in Futai County, and everyone praised her.

~

Shen Shihua’s buttocks were not fully healed, but he didn’t care. He hurried back to the village to find a place to build the imperial decree archway.

He decided to spend one hundred taels to buy bluestone slabs and have people build a village road leading to the official road overnight. Then, the imperial decree archway would be built at the entrance of the village so that everyone passing by on the official road could see it!

The villagers of Plum Blossom Village were overjoyed and expressed that they would help pave the road without taking any wages.

They would definitely pave the road before the imperial decree arrived!

As long as this imperial decree archway was built, the women of their Plum Blossom Village would have no worries about getting married!

How could everyone not be happy?

Old Master Shen, who had been bedridden for more than ten days, was still not feeling well, and his buttocks hurt when he walked. At this moment, when he heard that Shen Mingzhu had received an award, he immediately became full of energy, and his buttocks didn’t hurt so much anymore!

He happily got out of bed and walked out. He wanted to take this opportunity to get the house back.

Shen Mingzhu was happily drawing oil-saving lamps in the courtyard. She wanted to make more oil-saving lamps to give to people after she went to the capital.

Seeing Shen Wanshan come out, she put down her pen and went forward to support him: “Grandfather, why did you get out of bed?”

“I’m going to ask that bitch’s family for the house back to enshrine your imperial decree.”

He originally wanted to secretly go to the house to find the jade pendant after Madam Gu’s family moved out, but he was beaten with dozens of boards, which directly knocked him down, and he couldn’t get out of bed for half a month!

This time, he must get the house back! And demolish it openly!

Shen Mingzhu’s mind raced: “I’ll help you over there, Grandfather!”
