This little episode didn't delay much time.
It just let everyone know that the Jiang family and Liu family indeed have a good relationship.
It also let the previously low-key Liu family enter into the view of more people.
Liu Hongcai was just a minor civil official. By taking advantage of his son's chance to show his face at the Imperial Court, he informed the Emperor about the high-yield grain cultivated by the Jiang family, thereby putting the Liu family on the Emperor's radar.
Liu Hongcai's promotions over the past two years only amounted to rank five, which in the eyes of true nobility counts for little.
People only knew he married a good lady who could do business, and his son is not bad; although not in the Capital City, he manages a small county outside and is making strides.
But that's about it; if anyone wanted to oust such a low-standing, connectionless official, it would be a simple matter.
