After coming out of the palace after the morning court, Li Zexuan finally showed a proud smile on his face.
"Hey, this morning visit was not in vain! Now I have become a real big landowner~!"
Li Zexuan sighed secretly in his heart.
Now he has a household of 1,000 households. In this era, a household generally has at least five people and owns about 100 acres of farmland. A thousand households have 100,000 acres of fertile land!
Although the yield of grain per mu at this time was very low, "the harvest from one hundred acres was only three hundred shi (about thirty thousand kilograms)", it could not cover the total amount of fields! One hundred thousand acres of fertile land can produce tens of millions of kilograms of grain every year. Even if we only collect 10% of the tax, there are still millions of kilograms of grain!
This big landowner really can just hang out at home and wait to die!
It can be said that with the family fortune that Li Zexuan has earned now, even if his descendants remain inactive all their lives, it will be very difficult to destroy this family!
"Master Hou, is there any happy event?"
Pang Feiji saw Li Zexuan looking very interested, so he came over and said with a smile.
Li Zexuan got on his horse and said with a smile: "Well, what a happy event! Let's go back! The academy also needs to make preparations. His Majesty and the civil and military ministers will go to the academy in the evening~!"
"What? Your Majesty is going to the academy tonight?"
Pang Feiji stared, a little unbelievable. Since the world was peaceful, the emperor has basically never left the city at night! It's not because of the curfew. Why would an emperor care about this? Mainly because it’s not safe to go out of the city at night!
After all, there are no street lights in this era. There are people everywhere outside the city, making it easy to hide assassins.
Pang Feiji didn't have time to think too much at this moment, because Li Zexuan had already rushed out at the lead. He also quickly got on his horse and led his men to chase Li Zexuan.
………………………
Yunshan.
After Li Zexuan returned home, he was not in a hurry to tell his family about the reward given by Li Er in the court, because he knew that by the afternoon, the imperial edict from the palace would definitely come down, and they would naturally know it by then.
Sure enough, in the afternoon, someone came to the palace! The person who came to deliver the message was Zhao Song, an old acquaintance of Li Zexuan.
The two exchanged brief greetings. When Zhao Song saw that all Li Zexuan's family members were there, he cleared his throat, took out an imperial edict from the little follower behind him, and read:
"The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty issued an edict that I would govern the world with literature and quell chaos with force. The military commanders and generals are the mainstay of the imperial court and the mainstay of the country... they can do both civil and military affairs, and their achievements cannot be wasted if they exert their efforts to repay the results." I wish you favor. Your Yong'an Marquis, Li Zexuan, has done a great job in suppressing cholera. He saved thousands of people from life and death with the power of one person, and saved millions of people in Chang'an from the cholera poisoning. I will grant you a special seal of 400 households in the city, and a gold of 100,000 yuan. ! Admire this~!”
Li Zexuan said: "Your Majesty, Li Zexuan, accepts the decree! Thank you for your kindness!"
Li Jingmo, Mrs. Li and Han Yuxi were all a little shocked when they heard the good news. They were sitting at home, and they were so happy from heaven!
After Li Jingmo came to his senses, he was about to ask his servant to get the wedding money. Unexpectedly, Zhao Song took out another imperial edict from the boy behind him. After a moment, he glanced at Mrs. Li and said, "Mother of Marquis Yong'an." Mr. Ye listens to the order~!"
Mrs. Li's eyes widened and she couldn't react for a while. She tugged on Li Jingmo, pointed at herself and said in disbelief: "Old... Master, is Eunuch Zhao talking about me?"
Li Jingmo quickly urged: "Go quickly! Who else could I call if I didn't call you~?"
Only then was Mrs. Li convinced that she had heard correctly. She straightened her clothes, stepped forward and said, "I, Ye Yuzhu, listen to the order~!"
Zhao Song continued to read:
"The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty decreed that Ye, the mother of Marquis Yong'an, was careful in nature, diligent and submissive, yonghe and pure, gentle in nature, submissive in nature, and able to teach her children well! She was canonized as the third-grade imperial concubine, and I admire her~ !”
"Ah~?"
Mrs. Li was confused. Third-grade imperial edict, this status is comparable to that of the first wife of an important official in the court. When she goes to the local level, even the governor of a state does not dare to despise it. Such a prominent status fell from the sky like this~?
"Madam, please take the order quickly~!"
Li Jingmo was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead, and he urged in a low voice from behind.
In fact, he felt a little sour at the moment. His status in the family was originally low, but now that his wife has been granted a third-grade imperial edict, wouldn't his status be even lower in the future?
Mrs. Li quickly said: "I accept the decree, thank you for your grace!"
Zhao Song was not angry because he waited a moment longer. He handed the imperial edict to Mrs. Li's hand with a smile, said a few more pleasant words, and then took out the third imperial edict and said: "The wife of Marquis Yong'an" The Han family accepts the seal!"
Han Yuxi's heart trembled, her little heart was beating "thumping, thumping, thumping, thumping, thumping, thumping, thumping, thumping, thumping, thumping, thumping, thumping, thumping, thumping, thumping, thumping, thumping, thumping, thumping, thumping, thumping, thumping, thumping, thumping, thumping, thumping, thumping, thumping, thumping, thumping, thumping, thumping, thumping, thumping, thumping, thumping."
Zhao Song saw that although Han Yuxi's eyes were a little nervous and flustered, but her behavior was quite generous, he couldn't help but nodded and said:
"The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty decreed that the wife of the Marquis of Yong'an, the Han family, is gentle, gentle, graceful, dignified and wise, restrained and gentle, yonghe, pure, virtuous and virtuous. She was canonized as a third-grade imperial edict. I admire this!" "
Han Yuxi's heart was immediately filled with huge surprises, and she said happily: "Han Yuxi accepted the order, thank you!"
Li Jingmo looked shocked. Fortunately, he didn't put his hand on his chin now, otherwise he would have to pull off his beard!
Although Mrs. Gaoming is only a symbol of honor and has no real power, one or two third-grade Gaoming has almost never appeared in the more than ten years since the founding of the dynasty. Even in the previous dynasty, few families could obtain such a title. Such an honor, no wonder he was so surprised!
However, Father Li was surprised and a little bit disappointed. His wife and mother were promoted to the third rank because of their son's wealth, and his daughter-in-law was also promoted to the third rank because of her husband's wealth. How come he, the father, has nothing? Isn't it because of his contribution to giving birth to the son Li Zexuan?
Just when Mr. Li was feeling sour, Zhao Song spoke again, "Li Jingmo listens~!"
Li Jingmo suddenly came back to his senses, and a smile finally appeared on his old face: "I, Li Jingmo, listen to your orders~!"
Zhao Song thought:
"The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty decreed that a house that has accumulated good deeds will always be happy. Those who have not accumulated good deeds on their own will be sluggish in the future. How can I not be stingy in praising you! My son, Li Zexuan, has a righteous nature and a good deed. , Yunwen Yunwu, the four directions, you teach your children well, I specially give you a seventh-grade flying cavalry captain, I admire this~!"
From seventh grade?
Li Jingmo is not a novice, he still knows some common sense. Although this Flying Cavalry Lieutenant does not seem to be as good as a third-grade imperial officer, it is a real military service, and generally only those soldiers with military merit can obtain it, so Father Li is almost grinning at the moment!
"Li Jingmo, take the order, thank you~!"
No matter what, he never imagined that he would have the opportunity to be an official at this age, where he is so proud of his grandchildren. The wonder of life is really indescribable!
Moreover, these four imperial edicts have arrived at Yunshan today, which can be regarded as four joys!
