After eavesdropping on my thoughts, the food lovers all over the country were shocked

Chapter 218 Zhou Ying can also inherit the title

Mr. Huang looked at the potatoes hanging at the base of the stalks and laughed out loud with joy.

Although the fruits grown on some plants were of different sizes, for them, this was already a huge success.

Among the potatoes planted, only two did not bear fruit, but the overall result was still satisfactory.

Greenhouse vegetables are fine, but growing potatoes with an astonishing yield per acre is a good thing that will be remembered forever! !

After the potato planting here is successful, we can start to promote it in Daliang.

Although Mr. Huang was not the one who discovered potatoes, nor was he the planner of this planting plan.

But he actually participated in the entire training process, doing everything himself and not daring to slack off for a moment.

His traces are left everywhere in the entire potato planting process.

Who knows, he might really be able to leave a record in history books, a glorious one, admired by future generations.

The more Mr. Huang thought about it, the more excited he became, as if he had already seen the praises of future generations when they mentioned his deeds, as well as those eyes of admiration and worship.

Hahaha, the ancestors of the Huang family appeared.

Huang Decun has really made it this time!!

Shen Huazheng looked at Lord Huang's expression which was gradually becoming weird, and silently distanced herself from him.

Could it be that Lord Huang has gotten so carried away and gone crazy with joy?

Or maybe the work pressure is too great?

Qingzhi and Qingtang also stood silently on both sides of Shen Huazheng, watching Lord Huang vigilantly in case he suddenly went crazy.

Fortunately, Mr. Huang's strange behavior did not last long. He just stood there and grinned foolishly for a while, then started taking Shen Huazheng somewhere else.

In addition to potatoes and vegetables, some fruits and melons are also grown here.

While Mr. Huang was introducing the fruits and vegetables to Shen Huazheng, he sighed in his heart.

It is said that Princess Yinghua is a genius in cooking, but in fact her talents go far beyond that.

If there was no precedent for women entering officialdom in Daliang, he would definitely negotiate with His Majesty to allow Princess Yinghua to come to the Sinong Temple.

It’s a pity to lose such a talented person.

……

Royal Palace

Emperor Jingning handed the drafted imperial edict to An Desheng: "Go and announce it."

An Desheng took the imperial edict with both hands, and surprise flashed in his eyes: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Once this decree was issued, it was estimated that not only the civil and military officials in the court, but the entire capital city would be shocked.

Emperor Jingning looked at An Desheng's departing back, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, a smile slowly appeared on his face.

Originally, it would have been enough to just reward Zhou Cheng'an, but Zhou Cheng'an had no son, only a daughter, Zhou Ying.

The last time they were in the hunting grounds, Zhou Zeyan and Zhou Ying tied for first place in the hunting competition and were summoned by him.

I have to say that Zhou Zeyan is indeed an excellent man, outstanding in all aspects.

But Zhou Ying standing aside was no less impressive.

Such a wise and brave woman deserves this reward.

Besides, Zhou Ying had already made a great contribution by shooting a vicious tiger to death during the last hunt.

The Zhou siblings didn’t ask for any reward at that time, so let’s give them all together this time.

After leaving the palace, An Desheng went to the Grand Tutor's Mansion and the Shen Mansion to announce the imperial edict.

It has been confirmed that potatoes can be mass-produced. As the person who found and brought potatoes back to Daliang, Zhou Cheng'an was named Marquis of Lin'an and received a lot of rewards.

The imperial edict of Emperor Jingning also specifically mentioned that after Zhou Cheng'an's death, his title and fiefdom could be inherited. Only the eldest son of the legitimate wife would be considered, regardless of gender.

I don’t know if Emperor Jingning had planned it out. As soon as the carriage that Shen Huazheng was riding arrived at the Shen Mansion, the person who announced the decree also arrived.

Compared with Zhou Cheng'an's reward, Shen Huazheng's is more substantial.

In addition to boxes of rewards, Emperor Jingning also included a small coastal town next to Mianzhou County into the jurisdiction of Mianzhou County.

In other words, the area of ​​Shen Huazheng's fiefdom has become larger.

There is one more seaside town.

As Andy Cheng had expected, when the news spread, everyone in the court was shocked.

What surprised them the most was not that Shen Huazheng and Zhou Cheng'an had made great contributions and found potatoes that could be mass-produced, nor that Zhou Cheng'an had won the title of Marquis for nothing, or that Shen Huazheng's fiefdom had expanded in size.

Rather, it was the sentence in the imperial edict given by Emperor Jingning to Zhou Cheng'an: "Only the eldest son shall be considered, regardless of gender."

What this sentence means is that Zhou Ying can inherit Zhou Cheng'an's title and fiefdom.

Even if Zhou Cheng'an gave birth to another son now, the title would still belong to Zhou Ying, and no one could take it away from him.

In other words, only Zhou Ying is the heir to the title.

It has always been men who inherit the title. I have never heard of a woman inheriting the title.

When someone thought about it, they realized the profound meaning of Emperor Jingning's edict.

Zhou Cheng'an made great contributions and earned titles for himself and his daughter Zhou Ying.

It seems that Zhou Ying will be the first female marquis of Daliang.

They are worthy of being the Zhou family, each and every one of them is extraordinary.

Even Zhou Cheng'an, who has never been an official, should not be underestimated.

When Duke Weiguo heard the news, he was slightly stunned.

He picked up the teacup beside him, drank it all in one gulp, and sighed slightly in his heart.

Alas, after all, the Song family is unlucky and cannot keep such a good daughter-in-law.

Fortunately, Ye'er is like his mother, not like his useless and bastard father.

Otherwise, the Duke’s Mansion would really be defeated.

Not long after, Song Ye also learned the news.

At first he couldn't believe the news was true until he got confirmation from Zhou Ying.

After confirming the authenticity of the news, Song Ye felt an indescribable joy and excitement in his heart.

In the past, I always thought about studying hard, growing up quickly, and asking for a title for my mother in the future.

Now that my grandfather has been granted the title of Marquis, my mother can inherit the title in the future.

My mother will be the first female marquis in the history of Daliang.

It's really great!!

……

"Wow, Zheng Zheng, His Majesty actually gave you Kuiyang Town. The seafood there is so delicious."

Princess Lejia was extremely envious when she heard that Emperor Jingning had included Kuiyang Town under the jurisdiction of Mianzhou County.

She had eaten the lobsters, crabs and squids sent from Kuiyang Town, all of which were fresh and delicious.

There is no need for any sophisticated or complicated cooking techniques. Just steam it in water and it will be so delicious that you will almost bite your tongue off.

Princess Lejia picked up a piece of mint mung bean cake and took a big bite.

As she ate, she imagined that the cake in her mouth was seafood. However, the greed deep in her heart not only did not diminish, but became even more greedy.

Ahhh, I really want to eat lobster!!

There are also big crabs and big squids!!!

As soon as Shen Huazheng saw Princess Lejia's expression, she knew that she was becoming greedy again.

She took a sip of tea and said, "Let's find some time to go to Mianzhou County and eat seafood."

Speaking of which, she had the idea of ​​visiting Mianzhou County before. After all, it was her fiefdom and not far from the capital.

But later, when there were more things to do, this idea was put aside.

If Emperor Jingning hadn't suddenly allocated another small town to Shen Huazheng, she would have forgotten about it.

However, with this seaside town, won’t it be possible to go on vacation to the beach from time to time in the future?

Since there is a sea, there should be beaches besides seafood.

I wonder if it would be more comfortable to go on vacation in the summer.

"Okay, okay, we'll discuss the time with Aying later."

Princess Lejia was extremely happy when she heard Shen Huazheng's words.

Her mind is now full of seafood, and she can't wait to go out for a big meal.

Aying is not here, otherwise they could discuss the itinerary now.

After I get back, I should plan my time well, finish the manuscripts I owe, and free up some time.

Maybe if you go to Mianzhou County, see the cultural landscape there, and eat some of the local food and seafood, you can get some new inspiration.
