"hiss--"
A gasp suddenly sounded in the hall, and all the ministers were dumbfounded. Is this the county prince?
Nowadays, it is no longer the time when the country was unstable and the heroes were swept away. The official position can be as high as you want, but the rewards of titles are extremely cautious. Most of the rewards are just honors.
And now, His Majesty actually gave him the title of County Marquis in one fell swoop!
There are nine levels of nobility in the Tang Dynasty. The first is the king, the first rank; the second is the heir king and the county prince, the first rank; the third is the Duke, the first rank; the fourth is the founding county Duke, the second rank; the fifth is the founding county. Gong, from the second rank; sixth, Kaiguo County Marquis, from the third rank; seventh, Kaiguo County Bo, from the fourth rank; eighth, Kaiguo County son, from the fifth rank; ninth, Kaiguo County male, from the fifth rank.
The sixth-level founding county princes were not only of the third rank, but also hereditary and could live in a thousand households!
As we all know, because His Majesty Li Er once held the post of Shangshu Ling, this position has been vacant since the beginning of Zhenguan. The current official position in charge of the Tang Dynasty is Shangshu Youpushe, Jingzhao, Henan, and Taiyuan. , as well as the Grand Governor and Grand Protector of military towns in various places, these official positions are from the second rank!
From the third rank of the Founding County Marquis, the corresponding official positions are Yushi Dafu, Secretary Supervisor, Guanglu, Weiwei, Zongzheng, Taipu, Dali, Honglu, Sinong, Taifu and other ministers, left and right Sanqi Changshi, Guozi Jiujiu, Palace Supervisor, Shaofu Supervisor, General Master Craftsman, General Yulin Qianniu, Lower Governor, Shangzhou Governor, Chief Governor of the Great Governor's Palace, Deputy Governor of the Great Governor's Palace...
These are all official positions that hold high power in the capital and belong to a prince in the local area!
Many people’s eyes were red!
Even if this "Zhenguan Plow" is very good and powerful, it won't be granted the title of a founding county prince, right?
What do the soldiers and generals who followed His Majesty in his expeditions here and there, and whose robes were stained with blood, think of this?
You know, except for a very small number of world-famous princes, most of the soldiers and generals who have made great achievements can't even get a man from the founding county!
Wei Zheng was also a little stunned and embarrassed.
I just made a statement that I won’t go against you today, and now you’re going to cause such a big deal?
The imperial edict to a founding county lord has passed!
But if I have spoken out, will I break my words in the blink of an eye? But if you want to acquiesce, it's really like a stuck in your throat.
Wei Zheng was confused...
Fang Jun felt almost happy!
Is this now a title?
I will be a noble from now on, not only my brother, but also my son and grandson. As long as I don’t make a big mistake, and as long as the Tang Dynasty does not fall, I will be a noble for the rest of my life!
At this moment, all democracy and freedom were thrown out of the window, and I almost sang praises for this beautiful feudal society!
To put it bluntly, no matter what system it is, only those with vested interests will support it...
His Majesty Li Er smiled and said nothing, looking at Fang Xuanling with twinkling eyes.
Fang Xuanling didn't seem too surprised, but just put it off: "Isn't it a blessing to be granted the title of a marquis without any military merit? I don't dare to accept it."
His Majesty Li Er pondered for a moment and said: "You are not joking. If Fang Qing insists on not accepting it, isn't it embarrassing for me?"
Fang Xuanling then said: "A few days ago, my son Yiai discussed with the old minister that this glass method is very profitable. If it is managed properly, it can make tens of millions a month. My family has been favored by the emperor, honored and favored, and has no wealth." In order to repay you, I will offer this method to Your Majesty to fill the treasury of our Tang Dynasty!"
The implication is that this county prince is a bit heavy. A "Zhenguan Plow" alone is not enough, so we add a piece of glass so that we can accept it with peace of mind.
However, as soon as these words came out, the heads of all the ministers present were buzzing.
Fang Jun was stunned on the spot, completely dumbfounded...
Dad, when did I discuss with you to donate the glass? He also pointed to this glass to amass wealth and build up a big family business, so that his children and grandchildren will not have to worry about food, clothing, and flowers for generations to come...
You dad is simply cheating on your son!
Fang Jun's eyes turned red, and he immediately said hurriedly: "No, that, dad..."
Fang Xuanling glared at him and scolded: "Shut up! Although I have taught you not to be arrogant when taking credit and to keep a low profile, this is a major event that affects national policy and will definitely boost the confidence of the people and inspire the morale of the soldiers. How can I remain silent as before? I have my own opinion on this matter, so you don’t need to say anything!"
The courtiers discussed one after another and praised Fang Xuanling for his dedication to the country and his dedication!
Although I don’t know the details of the glass method, there are sporadic glass products on the market now. The exquisite and meticulous shapes and crystal clear colors are all ingenious. Every piece is simply stunning!
It must be extremely difficult to make with craftsmanship and rare and precious materials, but now the Fang family just takes it out?
atmosphere!
As a result, those who were originally dissatisfied with the founding county prince who was conferred by His Majesty, all shut their mouths.
There is no doubt that that glass can push the Fang family to a very high status in an extremely short period of time, amassing wealth that can rival the country, but it was donated without blinking an eye. Who can resist this kind of courage?
Not to mention that after Your Majesty gets this glass, it will greatly enrich the national treasury. For this achievement, it is not an exaggeration to make a county prince!
No matter whether you are truly admiring or secretly scolding a fool, in any case, people in the main hall are admiring, praising and praising their virtues, as if the world is unified!
Only Fang Jun had a dark face and red eyes, biting his lips and not speaking.
He couldn't figure it out, Dad, were you kicked in the head by a donkey?
How could you do such a stupid thing!
But he also knew that since this matter was raised in Tai Chi Hall, it was a foregone conclusion and there was absolutely no chance of going back on it.
At least half of the joy of being granted the title of County Marquis has dissipated. My heart bleeds, but it’s all money...
His Majesty Li Er laughed loudly, winked at Fang Xuanling in a vague way, and said, "Even so, I only rewarded a mere county prince for fear of being treated harshly. How about this, and add Zuopu to shoot Prince Fang Xuanling?" Young Master, what do you think?"
Prince's Young Master, official name. Together with Prince Shaobao and Shaofu, they are collectively known as the Third Young Master of the Prince or the Third Young Master of the East Palace. They were originally the closest people to the emperor or the prince. "Teacher" is the person who imparts knowledge, "Fu" is the person who supervises his actions, and "Bao" is the person who takes care of his body, that is, he is the person responsible for the intellectual, moral, and physical education of the monarch respectively.
After the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the prince's masters were all appointed with other official titles. "Third Master" and "Three Young Masters" were all official titles given to them as a gift. They had no official duties and were only equivalent to honorary titles.
Everyone praises him for his good deeds, no one would be mad to object. This is obviously what His Majesty and Fang Xuanling had discussed long ago, to sing the double act in the main hall!
Besides, given Fang Xuanling's official position and past achievements, His Majesty's treatment would not be too generous, and even a minister like Changsun Wuji could not object.
Fang Jun finally understood.
Dad had already planned to offer the method of glass to His Majesty Li Er, but he was probably afraid of his own objections, so he simply took it to the Zhengdan court meeting to create an established fact.
This abacus is indeed a good one. No matter how clumsy and reluctant I am, I can't possibly refute my father's face on this occasion and in front of such people...
But the problem is, I made the glass, let’s not talk about the patent rights, but I don’t even have the right to own it?
What a damn old society with no human rights!
This guy has completely forgotten that just now he was praising this evil old society because he made a county prince...
