In fact, the emperor liked to hear it, and he really didn't mind it being verbose.

These ministers are his eyes and ears. Through them, the emperor can understand his country and people.

Through Song Tingshan's report, the emperor heard not only Jizhou's policies and current situation, but also how the government and businessmen formed a good cooperative relationship, as well as Song Tingshan's EQ and IQ.

Of course, the premise is that his ministers really have a serious heart for doing things.

"Chu Aiqing," the emperor turned his eyes to Chu Qing: "You have single-handedly driven the development of a state and city!"

Chu Qing quickly retracted his wandering thoughts: "Your Majesty, how can you do it alone? The good policies of the imperial court and the state government, the vast land and simple people, the strong support of Lord Song, and the concerted efforts of all counties to build this.

Let’s get rich together!”

"Hahahaha!" The emperor was happy. Even Chu Qing, who made mistakes from time to time, was not confused at times!

Chu Qing was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat: On his own? This man's casual words are like a big hat!

It was the emperor who personally detained it. If word of this spreads, it will become a source of trouble. What a disaster!

If the news really spread, several officials from other places were waiting outside the imperial study room.

The conversation between the emperor and Song Tingshan's group has timed out, and Eunuch Li has already arranged for the next group of people to wait.

"Okay, very good, Song Aiqing and Chu Aiqing, your cooperation is very good! It can be imitated by all states!" the emperor commented.

Eunuch Li outside the door rolled his eyes: Don't you want to punish Chu Qing? I almost got it wrong.

Several local officials also secretly glanced at each other: "What kind of cooperation? The emperor sounds very satisfied..."

Chu Qing went to the palace to report to the saint, and Xiaobao took people to give Hong Liang the New Year's gift. This year, time was rushed and the preparations were not sufficient, so the New Year's gift went directly to Beijing with Chu Qing.

Mrs. Hong gathered her grandchildren, daughters, and sons to entertain Xiaobao.

Xiaobao secretly curled his lips: "Don't come, no, they are all old acquaintances of my mother; come, let's have a bunch of seven or eight-year-old children as companions, they are chattering and they can play with a shuttlecock for a long time."

It’s not like I’m here to take care of people’s children.

Mrs. Hong also saw that Xiaobao was reluctant to play with them, so she simply asked Xiaobao to come over and chat with her. When Hong Liang saw Xiaobao, she liked it and kept giving baked bean cakes to everyone.

Xiaobao is no longer interested in baked bean cakes. He gets tired of eating too many of them. He took out the peanut meal cake from his pocket and gave it to Hong Liang: "Eat this!"

Hong Liang tasted it and then came to grab Xiaobao's pocket: "How many more are there?"

Mrs. Hong knocked off Hong Liang's big hand and said, "Do you look like an elder?"

The three of them chatted over tea and peanut meal cakes, but as they chatted, things started to change -

Hong Liang: "Your mother doesn't let go of anything, she squeezes out the oil from everything!"

Mrs. Hong: "Don't tell me, this stuff is so fragrant! The fragrance is stronger than the bean cake!"

Xiaobao: "Mother said that when the people become rich enough to have enough food and clothing, these things can also be used to make fertilizer, and the crops will also like to eat them."

Hong Liang: "Retting? I heard that your mother dug out all the excrement in the military camp of Ma Da and others?"

Xiaobao: "That little shit is not enough. My mother sent people to buy shit from all over Xinlunzhou!"

Hong Liang: "Bought them all? What is your mother doing? The excrement can be used as food. I bought so much! Just enough to fertilize it!"

Mrs. Hong rolled her eyes: "You just eat shit! How can you talk!"

Hong Liang poured the remaining dregs into his mouth and stretched out his hand: "Give me another piece of dung, no, peanut meal. I mean, I don't think farmers need so much dung for retting!"

Xiaobao simply poured out all the peanut meal cakes in his pocket on the table: "Why don't you want it? Arata! Does Arata know? How can it be cooked well without a lot of manure?"

Mrs. Hong: "Aren't you afraid of burning all the cotton seedlings?"

Xiaobao: "No! My mother specially taught me how to fertilize. Besides, it's all at a high place. If it rains, the fertilizer water will be diluted and run away. Otherwise, the manure will be collected everywhere."

The three of them chatted and ate with great relish.

The eldest maid was serving tea and wanted to leave quickly.

She doesn't think that peanut meal cake is delicious. One bite of that stuff will definitely smell like shit!

Hong Liang: "Oh, your mother is a god! She even squeezes dry beans for oil, and treats stinky excrement as a treasure!"

Xiaobao happened to catch a glimpse of the eldest maid wrinkling her nose, as if she smelled excrement, so she said, "Of course, mother said, a girl is like a flower, and all her family depends on excrement!"

Hong Liang and his wife followed Xiaobao's eyes and saw the expression on the eldest maid's face. They burst into laughter and sprayed peanut dregs all over the floor.

Hong Liang admired Chu Qing very much.

Nephew Ma Da wrote a letter saying that the cotton experimental field was located near his military camp and was grown. This achievement was considered by Ma Da.

After collecting the cotton, it was a pleasure to check out. There was no need for them to dry it and then weigh it. They just picked it, packaged it and gave it to the bank. This is a lot of extra money.

The next day was the Qianqiu Festival, and this was the second time Chu Qing attended the palace banquet.

Chu Qing was summoned by the Queen Mother to chat first.

As the saying goes, once is raw, twice is ripe.

This time, Chu Qing did not regard herself as an outsider. She praised the Queen Mother for her delicious snacks and delicious tea, and showed an expression of unfulfilled interest.

So with a look from the Queen Mother, Aunt Jade went out and ordered someone to pack it.

"Oh, thank you, Queen Mother," Chu Qing expressed his thanks with a thick-skinned face: "Look at me, a mother-in-law, who has to go to the Queen Mother just to eat and drink."

The Queen Mother was very considerate: "It's not easy for you either. You have to do so much with a child. You have to do everything yourself."

The Queen Mother glanced around and asked, "Where is Hanxiang? Is this girl lazy again?"

Hanxiang was the deputy specially trained by Aunt Yu. She was afraid that when she left the palace to work for the Queen Mother, she would not have a satisfactory servant around her.

Aunt Jade replied: "My servant sent her to deliver the tea to Master Chu's carriage."

Chu Qing quickly apologized: "I came alone, so I have troubled Aunt Yu and Miss Hanxiang."

The Queen Mother expressed concern: "Why don't you bring a maid, mother-in-law? You have to have someone to take care of these little things for you."

Chu Qing rolled her eyes, feeling that none of the maids and women in the palace were as useful as those in the palace, so she simply slapped the queen mother's Qiu Feng: "What the queen mother said is that in the past, I didn't have the habit of letting others take care of me. As you know,

I am just a village woman, how can I be so wealthy?

But now I really need some help. To be honest, I have to wash Xiaobao's clothes before going to bed every day.

The child is young, so I don’t feel confident just buying someone to take care of it... Queen Mother, am I shameless enough to ask you for personal use?"

The Queen Mother had a smile on her face: "Okay! Which one do you like?"

Chu Qing said: "How dare I want people in front of the Queen Mother! I just said that if there are people in the palace who are old enough to leave the palace, as long as they are willing, the Queen Mother can give them a few."

The maids in the palace are good and know the rules. Those who have not been accepted by the emperor or rewarded as ministers at their age have no background and average appearance. They will cause less trouble.
