After receiving the imperial edict, Xia Minzheng was so excited that she knelt on the ground and cried. She originally thought that she would die in a foreign country as a guilty minister. Unexpectedly, one day the emperor would remember him and reuse him.
The former governor of Yuyang County was already old and had requested orders several times to return to his hometown to take care of him. However, Yuyang County was located at a border fortress and a trustworthy person had to be appointed. Now Xia Minzheng is here to fill this vacancy.
After the old emperor returned, he also investigated the corruption case involving Xia Minzheng. He was purely wronged. He is an upright man, does not follow the crowd, nor does he collude with others. He has been squeezed out, so he has been working as a minor official in the capital.
After the corruption case happened, maybe other people didn't want to make things easier for him, so they attacked him one after another and put him in jail. Fortunately, nothing was found in the house, so he was sentenced to exile.
Judging from what Xia Minzheng has done in the past few years, he is rigorous and serious and has not made any mistakes. He is considered qualified for the post of governor of Yuyang County. After all, he also has a powerful daughter and granddaughter. With them here, he will definitely do a good job as a county guard.
The old emperor was very considerate of his ministers and did not ask Xia Minzheng to take office immediately. Instead, he asked him to spend a reunion year with his family and then take office after the 15th.
At the same time, Cang Qiang, Cang Sword, and Cang Ji, all dressed in wind and snow, arrived at Youzhou City with a team of hundreds of people. Among these people were blacksmiths, carpenters, and construction craftsmen. These were the leaders among them. Sima selected and raised them in the army. Ling Xiaoyu also sent two reliable officials from the Ministry of Industry to participate in the research and manufacturing of agricultural tools.
Of course, there is also the Eagle Guard under Cang Qiyuan, which was established with the old emperor's permission. It is similar to the Dragon Guard and is responsible for the safety of the master. Cang Qiyuan believed that he was highly skilled in martial arts and often sent Eagle Guards out to complete various investigation and surveillance tasks, so the second and third princes took advantage of the loophole.
This time, they also received the call from their master and rushed here from various places.
The previously arranged house was definitely no longer suitable for them, so Cang Qiyuan arranged for them to live in the General's Mansion. Cang Qiang was responsible for all matters, and he still lived next door to Xia Qingfeng.
Just like Cang Qiyuan, there are Cang Sword and Cang Ji who are also refusing to leave. When they arrived, one went straight to Cuiliu's yard, and the other approached Ginkgo to talk to him.
Xia Qingfeng... It seems that spring is coming.
Regarding Cuiliu, Xia Qingfeng mentioned it to her father and mother. Xia Minzheng and his wife were grateful for Cuiliu's loyalty and planned to adopt her as their adopted daughter. However, Cuiliu refused to agree, saying that she was a maid, how could she be with the master? Became sisters. Xia Qingfeng didn't force it. It was difficult to break the deep-rooted hierarchy, but she couldn't bear to treat her like a maid anymore.
Now, seeing Cang Jian's attitude towards Cui Liu, she had a good idea, so she went to Cang Qiyuan and told Cang Jian and Cui Liu about it. Cang Qiyuan was also happy to see it happen, alas! Just a little jealous.
So, Xia Minzheng checked the auspicious days of the zodiac and set the wedding date on the fifth day of the first lunar month.
However, Cangji and Ginkgo were simply discussing food, as if they were not yet enlightened and were not in a hurry.
Now that it has entered the twelfth lunar month, Youzhou has experienced several heavy snowfalls. The land has been frozen hard, making it impossible to start construction. Therefore, Xia Qingfeng only worked with Cang Qiyuan to find the location to build the medical school.
Youzhou is vast and sparsely populated, and even the city of Youzhou is extremely depressed. Therefore, Cang Qiyuan allocated a piece of land in the east of the city to build a medical school. Li Mu, the governor of Youzhou, was very cooperative when he found out. As soon as the land was allocated, he signed up his nephew and nephew in the clan.
Li Mu was thirty years old and was born in Tanhua. His hometown was in Liaoxi County. His grandfather was the third elder in the county and his family was well-off. He was smart and studious since he was a child, and his family had high hopes for him. After Li Mu became a scholar, he was sent to the capital to study.
After studying hard in the cold window, Li Muwei lived up to his high expectations and became the top student in high school. But before he could celebrate, he was sent to Xianbei and burned, killed and robbed. His grandfather, father, cousins, etc. were killed. More than 100 people in the family survived. There were only about twenty people. When the bad news came, he was filled with grief and anger, and he knelt down and begged the emperor to allow him to return to his hometown.
Seeing that he was young and promising, the old emperor couldn't bear to be buried in this place. He also sympathized with his plight and made him the governor of Youzhou, hoping that he could protect the people.
After returning to his hometown, he reunited his tribe and rebuilt their homeland. During his several years in Youzhou, he was an upright official with clear rewards and punishments. He did a lot of practical things for the people. Moreover, when the Xianbei cavalry came several times, he organized and fought against the enemy. They always have to pay some price. Before the transfer of the governor of Youzhou, he specially wrote a letter asking Li Mu to succeed him as the governor of Youzhou.
After Xia Qingfeng and Cang Qiyuan chose the address of the medical school, they didn't go out anymore and concentrated on designing the drawings of the medical school at home. This was ancient times, and high-rise buildings were out of the question, so she designed the old rural primary schools. That kind of house: row houses used as classrooms and dormitories, with men and women separated in different courtyards. Further forward is the inpatient area, which is designed as an independent room. Each room has four beds and a clay oven at the door for making medicine. She also plans to set aside an open space for a garden. In addition to planting flowers and plants, there will also be a pavilion, benches, fitness equipment, etc. The inpatient area will also have a canteen with dedicated personnel to prepare patient meals. The front is the medical clinic, and she plans to refer to the layout and style here. After all, one should do as the Romans do, but she still plans to add a registration office for easier management.
When everything is almost busy, it’s time to prepare for the New Year. This is the first year that Xia Qingfeng is reunited with her parents, and it is also the first New Year that they have traveled to this world. Xia Qingfeng planned to have a good time.
The customs of New Year's Eve here are relatively simple. People will "stay up" and sit around the fire after nightfall to reunite with their families, chat, have a reunion dinner, and talk about their experiences.
Xia Qingfeng didn't care about that. Tomorrow was the Little New Year. She cleaned the house, worshiped the Stove Lord, cut window grilles, put up Spring Festival couplets, made dumplings, and ate sesame candy. She went through all the Little New Year customs she knew.
In the next few days, Xia Qingfeng was really busy, killing pigs and sheep, frying twists, steaming rice cakes, braising and stewing. Although she was only giving instructions, she was still very busy. In addition, she also personally gave food to her parents and Xiaoxiao, Ling Xiaoyu, and Cang Qiyuan made new clothes.
Xu Xiaoxiao also took out the recipe for making tofu written by Ling Xiaoyu from the space, holding her fingers in her mouth and saying that she wanted to eat pickled cabbage and stewed tofu. well! The son-in-law is from the Northeast. After the couple returned to their hometown to celebrate the New Year, Xiaoxiao fell in love with Northeastern cuisine. Now that we are in the north, it is really suitable for eating these.
Arrangement, must be arranged, Cang Qiyuan, the doting nymphomaniac, studied with Cang Jian and Cang Ji for an entire afternoon, and figured out the pros and cons.
That night, they had sauerkraut, pork and tofu stewed, which was delicious. Xu Xiaoxiao also specially left a large bowl in the space for Ling Xiaoyu and the old emperor to eat.
