Duan Wenjun didn't expect that this angel from the capital was actually an old acquaintance.
The last time, Eunuch Li went to Prince Rui's Mansion to deliver an edict and brought him a letter from Jiang Shuying.
"Eunuch Li, thank you for your hard work!" Duan Wenjun had a good impression of Eunuch Li and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
Eunuch Li did not put on any airs and gently pulled Duan Wenjun's arm to stop him from bowing down. "Mr. Duan, how are you doing lately?"
The two exchanged a few words, Chai Jingyun and Guan Xing also came forward to say hello, and Duan Wenjun led a group of people into the castle.
Regardless of the personal relationship, the emperor's errands were always the most important.
The first thing Eunuch Li did when he entered the fort was to burn incense and take a bath, and then read out Emperor Shun's imperial edict.
It is rare that after so many years, Emperor Shun actually used so much words to praise a person in an imperial edict.
When he heard that Emperor Shun actually gave him the status of a baron, Duan Wenjun suddenly felt happy.
He had heard that there were not many positions for this lord in the entire Dashun.
However, when Eunuch Li finished reading the imperial edict and Chai Jingyun explained to him what the baron was and what privileges he had, Duan Wenjun suddenly felt like a lump in his throat and became very uncomfortable.
Damn it, this Emperor Shun just praised him all the time, then gave himself a meaningless title and dismissed him.
This is too realistic...
However, if you can reduce taxes by 10%, then reduce taxes by 10%!
Moreover, the rights of these five hundred private soldiers are an incredible reward.
In order to avoid people's eyes and ears, I had to hide the people in the guard camp.
Otherwise, once someone takes advantage of him and says that he is secretly raising private soldiers, it will be a big deal.
Now, with the rights of these five hundred private soldiers, he can legitimately and blatantly train the guard camp.
"Wen Jun, congratulations!" Chai Jingyun smiled broadly. "With these five hundred private soldiers, Duanjiabao's defense can be improved to a higher level."
Duan Wenjun pretended to be excited and nodded constantly.
He did not tell Chai Jingyun that his guard camp now had many more soldiers than the five hundred private soldiers.
Chai Jingyun not only came with Eunuch Li, but he also brought some information about the construction of the school ground.
After all, if Duan Wenjun wants to raise a private soldier, it will not be as convenient as they have in Lingxiao City, where there are ready-made military camps and schools.
Therefore, Chai Jingyun brought some drawings and equipment from Lingxiao City and asked him to follow Lingxiao City's example, just to allow Duan Wenjun to quickly form his own private army.
Duan Wenjun was grateful when he saw the drawings and equipment.
After all, it is really commendable that Chai Jingyun can be so meticulous.
However, he had no intention of taking Chai Jingyun's suggestion.
Although the camp on Luofengpo is a bit cruder, it will be more useful for training.
Of course, he wouldn't say it.
"Wenjun, congratulations, congratulations!" Guan Xing also said to Duan Wenjun, "There is only one precedent for a commoner in our Dashun to become a lord, during the time of the late emperor. You are the second person in our Dashun!"
"Thank you, Lord Guan. Your words are serious." Duan Wenjun squeezed out a wry smile on his face. "Thanks to the great blessings of Lord Guan and all of you, Wenjun can finally form a private army to support, so he doesn't have to worry about bandits breaking into the house." .We were beaten badly last time. If we weren’t lucky, the Duan family might have been robbed by the robbers.”
Hearing this, Guanxing suddenly felt his face burning and uncomfortable.
You know, he was warned by the big shot that day, so he didn't dare to intervene and allowed Feng Zhongyu's people to attack the Duan Mansion.
But in his heart, he really didn't want anything to happen to Duan Wenjun.
However, it is superfluous to explain anything at this moment.
The others didn't know what Duan Wenjun meant, so Chai Jingyun nodded: "Wenjun, having said that, you are really lucky to have been able to escape attacks from Peng's bearded men over and over again."
As soon as he said this, Guan Xing's face turned even redder.
However, Duan Wenjun did not pay too much attention to his embarrassment, but ordered Gu Hongfu to quickly prepare a banquet to entertain everyone.
When Eunuch Li was in the capital, he had heard about Duan Wenjun's whole pig feast, and he was very curious.
However, it is obviously impossible to eat it at this moment.
Duan Wenjun notified the kitchen to add MSG to Duanjiabao's dishes.
Even the green vegetables tasted much better than outside, and Eunuch Li couldn't help but marvel.
Within a moment, Eunuch Li was seven-tenths full. He put down his bowls and chopsticks, stared at Duan Wenjun and said, "Sir Duan, our family in the capital heard about an interesting incident in Wangjiangdi, and we wanted to talk to Sir Duan." Ask around.”
Hearing Eunuch Li call him Duke Duan, Duan Wenjun was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted and hurriedly replied, "Oh? I wonder what interesting stories Eunuch Li has heard?"
"Master Duan, our family heard that Duke Duan is planning to build an inn in Wangjiang County, and he invited everyone from Lin Nanzhun to design it for Duke Duan?" Eunuch Li stared at Duan Wenjun and spoke again.
Duan Wenjun frowned, somewhat confused as to what Eunuch Li meant.
Why did he build an inn in Wangjiang and become an interesting story when it reached his mouth?
He looked at Eunuch Li in confusion: "Eunuch, please clarify!"
Eunuch Li did not try to be pretentious anymore, but looked at him and asked again, "We heard that any building designed by Mr. Lin is not cheap. Since Mr. Duan can hire Mr. Lin to design it, it is estimated that the cost will definitely not be cheap." It will be less!"
"Ah? That's it!" Duan Wenjun was startled, with a faint smile on his face. "To be honest, father-in-law, we are honest people here. It didn't cost much to help me design and build the inn this time."
Duan Wenjun didn't understand, but Chai Jingyun on the side did. "Eunuch Li, Wenjun's inn does cost a lot of money! Fortunately, the Duan family has a strong financial background!"
"Really?" Eunuch Li smiled, "Eight hundred thousand taels of silver, the Duan family is really rich!"
"Eight hundred thousand taels?" Chai Jingyun's face was full of horror. "My God, Wenjun, your Duan family is really rich. In the entire Jingzhou, we don't turn in 800,000 taels a year!"
Not only Chai Jingyun, but also Guan Xing also had a horrified expression on his face.
Eight hundred thousand taels...
Even though he knew that the Duan family was rich, he never thought that the Duan family was actually so rich.
When Duan Wenjun heard this, he was shocked, and a cold sweat broke out down his spine.
The meaning of Eunuch Li's words is really obvious.
He was already doubting the origin of the money he spent to build the Duan's Inn.
Moreover, according to the strength of the Duan family, it is impossible to raise so much money at once.
If he hadn't had the idea of the gold sand on Shanfeng Mountain, he wouldn't have been able to afford so much expense.
Eunuch Li is from the palace.
Since he heard it, it means that Emperor Shun also heard it.
Since he was doubting, could it be that Emperor Shun was already doubting.
Could it be that Shan Fengshan's matter can no longer be kept secret?
