Chapter 878: Chapter 879: Beco a High Official? Chapter 878: Chapter 879: Beco a High Official? At the beginning of May, after two months, An Jing finally completed the editing task.
All ten volus of it.
And these ten volus were quite thick.
The content of these books detailed what people should do at each solar term. It could be said that they not only guided agricultural production but were also closely related to people’s daily lives.
When the Emperor of Xiyun saw these ten volus, he was greatly pleased and deeply surprised.
He had truly not expected An Jing to compile the books so comprehensively.
If everything in these books were implented, Xiyun’s agricultural production would definitely reach a higher level.
“Jingjing, I’m thinking of promoting you again…” Suddenly, the Emperor of Xiyun said this. Though he was speaking to An Jing, he was looking at Xiao Changyi.
Seeing that Xiao Changyi seed to have no objections, the Emperor of Xiyun continued, “The current main farr manages many things and it is very burdenso, which you probably wouldn’t like.”
An Jing laughed lightly, “Your Majesty, looking at you, it seems like you want to dismiss the current main farr and let take over?”
“Yes!” The Emperor of Xiyun was especially honest. “If you were a man, just this great accomplishnt in compilation would be enough for to grant you a noble title. What do you think about taking over as the main farr?”
The main farr was a top-ranking official and the highest among Agricultural Officials.
An Jing found it even funnier, “Your Majesty, please don’t joke. Replacing the main farr is no child’s play. Although I have great accomplishnts, I am not suitable for being the main farr. I think the current main farr is doing quite well. There really is no need for you to replace him.”
“Jingjing, even though the things you compiled have not been officially implented yet, I can foresee that in the near future, everyone in Xiyun will have enough food and clothing,” he paused, “It would be unjust of not to give you a high-ranking position.”
An Jing said, “The higher the office, the greater the responsibility it carries. Moreover, I am a woman; how many people in the court can accept a woman holding office, let alone one holding increasingly high ranks?”
The Emperor of Xiyun responded, “Your accomplishnts are here for all to see; how many people in the court can match them? Moreover, as long as I decide to appoint you to a high office, it would be pointless for anyone to oppose it.”
Xiao Changyi suddenly said, “What about ?”
The Emperor of Xiyun imdiately responded with a playful grin, “Yi Er, your opinion certainly matters, but with your wife having achieved so much, Xiyun cannot possibly mistreat her, right?”
Xiao Changyi actually nodded.
An Jing laughed lightly, “Husband, do you also think I should hold a high office?”
Xiao Changyi said, “You could, but you don’t necessarily have to manage anything. You can remain as free as you are now.”
The Emperor of Xiyun imdiately agreed, “Exactly! Jingjing, if you really don’t want to manage anything, you truly don’t have to.”
Seeing that the Emperor of Xiyun really seed eager to give her a high office, and that her husband was not opposed, An Jing smiled and said, “All right then. But, Your Majesty… may I discuss a condition with you?”
“What condition?” The Emperor of Xiyun asked, puzzled.
“Well…” An Jing hesitated, then said, “Could you give an office that is not an Agricultural Official? I’ve compiled all my knowledge of farming into these ten books. In terms of agriculture, I consider my talent already fully utilized. I don’t want to be an Agricultural Official anymore; I want to try other offices to see if I can unleash other potential.”
Upon hearing this, the Emperor of Xiyun was troubled, “Other offices seem unsuitable for you…”
In the eyes of the Emperor of Xiyun, having co from a farr’s background, An Jing could only serve as an Agricultural Official.
