"Oh, Lord Marquis! Why are you still here?"
As soon as Meng Youliang and Meng Wenhao walked to the dock, the eunuch who heard the order shouted to Li Zexuan.
"Master Hou~?
Meng Youliang and Meng Wenhao couldn't help being surprised when they heard the eunuch's address to Li Zexuan. They secretly wondered when did Li Zexuan become a marquis? One of them, father and son, had just returned from wandering at sea for several months, and the other was undergoing closed military training in the academy. There was no way to know the news from the outside world, so neither of them knew that Li Zexuan had been granted the title of Marquis today. information.
"The Holy One came to court this morning and conferred the title of Marquis of Yong'an on Shanchang. This matter spread around noon!"
Although the voices of the Meng family and his son were soft, Mo Zhong was also a martial arts master in the Qi Transformation realm, so he naturally heard it clearly, so he explained to the two of them in a low voice.
"The chief of the mountain has been granted the title of marquis~? That's really great!"
Meng Wenhao said with sincere joy.
Although Li Zexuan treats students harshly, behind the harshness, there is always goodwill. Other students in Yanhuang Academy may not know this, but there is no student in the former Mathematical Academy who does not wish Li Zexuan well.
At this time, Li Zexuan, who was in the audience, asked: "What does this young father-in-law mean by this? I am not here, so where should I go?"
The little eunuch hurriedly ran to Li Zexuan with a flattering look on his face and said: "Master Marquis, Mr. Zhao came out of the palace with us to deliver the decree. I guess he is looking for you everywhere in Yunshan Mountain right now! Please go back quickly to receive the decree. !”
Li Zexuan suddenly realized that he remembered that his official decree for the title of Marquis of Yong'an had not been issued today! So he said goodbye to Yan Lide and Xiao Yu, and told Li Tai and the others to work hard here and not be lazy, then he mounted his horse and ran towards Yunshan.
The crowd watching on the pier, after some insiders explained, all knew about Li Zexuan's being granted the title of Marquis, and heartfelt congratulations immediately filled the ears.
"A man from Li County has been granted the title of Marquis. This is really great!"
"Yes, a man like Li County, oh no, should be Marquis Yong'an. A person like Marquis Yong'an who is kind-hearted and considers the common people should be made a marquis and become prime minister, so that he can live a long life!"
"Yes! With Marquis Yong'an here, more and more people will be able to live a good life. Maybe it will be my family's turn! Look at the lives of Meicun and Hanjiazhuang now. Compared with us, they are really a Heaven and earth!"
"Hey! I just don't know how big the territory of Marquis Yong'an is. It would be great if my family could become a banker under his command this time!"
What this person said was exactly what others expected. Li Zexuan had long been famous for his kindness to the people in the fiefdom. Now every family in Hanjiazhuang and Meicun was prosperous, and they had become the "model villages" of Zhuangzi near Chang'an City. People often talked about it. Of course, he is also the object of envy.
"Hey, I know this. The fiefdom of Marquis Yong'an is in Lantian County, and there are 600 households in the town! We from Liujia Village must be in it, haha! From now on, the villagers in Liujiazhuang will also be able to live a good life!"
"Six hundred households? Your Majesty really loves Marquis Yong'an very much!"
You must know that Cheng Yaojin, the Duke of Lu, only had a settlement of 700 households, Duke Qin Qiong of Yi State also had a settlement of 700 households, Duke Li Jing of Wei only had a settlement of 400 households, and Li Zexuan, as a prince, actually had a settlement of 700 households. Reached 600 households! Among the princes of the Tang Dynasty, Li Zexuan's restaurant is definitely the top one!
You know, that’s six hundred households! What is the concept of six hundred households? This means that Li Zexuan will truly own thousands of acres of fertile land and become a super landowner. From now on, he will be able to live a squandering life even if he does nothing.
"Ah~? Why in Lantian County, why not in Xinfeng County? Our Stone Village has no hope now!"
There was a sound of regret all around.
"Meng Youliang listens to the order~!"
When the young eunuch in the field saw Li Zexuan leaving, he glanced at the Meng family and his son standing next to him, and then shouted in a high voice.
Meng's father was so excited that he almost knelt down. Fortunately, Meng Wenhao understood the rules and knew that he did not have to kneel to receive the imperial edict. He quickly grabbed his father. The two of them bowed towards the palace and saluted. Meng Youliang said in a trembling voice: " Meng Youliang...listen to the holy teachings!"
Only then did the people around them turn their attention back. They looked at Meng Youliang and his son with a trace of confusion in their eyes. They obviously didn't understand how Li Er could give an imperial edict to civilians.
"The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty issued an edict: Meng Youliang, a crew member of the fleet going south, raised a loud warning at the critical moment when the fleet was attacked, which prevented the merchant ship from falling into the hands of the bandits. Moreover, you were unparalleled in your loyalty and bravery. When life and death were at stake, you forcibly changed the course of the burning ship, causing The main fleet survived the disaster, and I have decided to make you the Eighth-Rank Xuanjie Colonel, with a reward of 100,000 yuan and 100 pieces of silk~! I admire this~!"
As the little eunuch finished speaking, everyone was in an uproar. This seemingly humble man in front of them was actually named the eighth-grade Xuanjie Captain by the current Holy Emperor. This made countless people jealous and jealous!
The person involved, Meng Youliang, was a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect that just by escaping from death, he would be promoted to an official position! Being an official was so far away for Meng Youliang in the past. He only hoped that his son would study hard and be named an official in the future. He never expected that he would become an official before his own son. Official! How can this be! ? He is just an ignorant person who is illiterate~!
Mother Meng, who was worried about her husband and came to see her, heard the imperial edict. On the one hand, she was shocked that her husband was appointed an official in one fell swoop. On the other hand, she was frightened and sentimental because the imperial edict mentioned the words of life and death for bandits and bandits. Mother Meng instantly understood where the scars on Meng Youliang's body came from. A picture of a fierce battle in the sea, in which her husband was seriously injured and dying, appeared in her mind almost subconsciously. The tears in her eyes suddenly stopped. Damn it!
"Aniang~! Why are you crying~?"
Yaya felt a few chills on her arms. She looked up and saw her mother, crying silently. The little girl suddenly felt sad and asked in a hoarse voice.
"Mom is fine, Mom is fine..."
On the other side, Meng Wenhao saw his father looking stunned, and quickly shouted: "Dad, Dad, go and receive the order!"
"Oh oh oh!"
Meng Youliang came to his senses immediately. He put his hands on his body and wiped them vigorously, as if he wanted to shed a layer of skin before he gave up. Then he walked to the little eunuch and hugged him respectfully: "Meng Youliang accepts the order. Thank you~!”
The little eunuch squinted his eyes and handed the imperial edict to Meng Youliang's hand. Logically speaking, he should have given money as a gift at this time, but Meng Youliang's mind was completely confused at the moment. How could he remember this? Fortunately, Feng Zhihua came after hearing the news. .
"What a happy event, such a happy event! My little father-in-law has worked hard all the way, so the simple gift is just tea money. I hope my little father-in-law will accept it happily!"
