The visitor was riding in a double-decker carriage, made of oil-rich oak and piping metal. This was a carriage representing the royal family of Great Xia!
Because it was too wide, the carriage had to stop at the gate of Liu Mo's house.
The first person to step off the carriage was a eunuch, and behind him were the Daxia Royal Guards, a total of twenty people. them
Holding a spear, the nine-clawed golden dragon flag representing Daxia is flying on the tip of the spear.
Liu Mo and his family knelt on the ground to respectfully welcome the royal decree of Daxia.
Yes, these people were sent by the Emperor of Great Xia to Rongcheng to declare the imperial edict!
It turned out that Liu Mo's new salt and dealing with the salt gang were highly recognized by the Sixth Prince.
The latter even reported these matters to the Emperor of Great Xia. With such a rare talent in a hundred years, the Emperor of Great Xia issued an imperial edict.
Liu Mo was promoted to the seventh rank, and the censor of the Salt Transportation Department of Jianglin Prefecture under the jurisdiction of the Daxia Metropolitan Procuratorate was responsible for the entire salt transportation of Jianglin Prefecture.
The official position is not big, only a small seventh rank.
However, the imperial edict mentioned that anything related to salt in Jianglin Prefecture was under the jurisdiction of the Salt Transportation Department, and local magistrates, magistrates, and even the first and second grade local governors who had jurisdiction over a province were not allowed to interfere.
When necessary, you must unconditionally cooperate with the Salt Transport Censor to handle salt transport matters.
To explain simply, as long as it has anything to do with salt, Liu Mo, the Censor of Salt Transport, has the final say and no one can object!
Proper real power!
After the edict was read out, the eunuch said in a high-pitched voice: "Master Liu, please get up!"
While talking, the eunuch winked at Liu Mo and waved his right hand to signal Liu Mo to come closer.
Ah, this expression!
Liu Mo had watched many palace dramas on Earth, and it was unreasonable for the eunuch to travel all the way and not be given any "hard work pay".
However, it is necessary to be so direct and impatient!
There is no other way, as he represents the royal family, he cannot be offended casually.
He suppressed his emotions and approached the eunuch.
What he never expected was that just when Liu Mo was about to sneak the banknote to him, the other party took action first!
"Mr. Liu, this is a small gesture from our family to you. It's not respectful!"
Liu Mo froze when an extra bank note appeared inexplicably in his hand.
Damn it, what’s going on!
When the eunuch who declared the decree met for the first time, not only did he not accept my red envelope, he actually gave me money in return?
"What do you mean, father-in-law?"
"Master Liu, there are many people here and it is difficult to reveal anything. Tomorrow, our family will pay us a visit." The eunuch lowered his voice and said, "Today, our family will also go to the Rongcheng County Government Office."
"Oh? Your Majesty has a decree to convey to Mr. He?"
"No, it's His Highness the Sixth Prince..."
Liu Mo smiled, it was probably news of his promotion, "Then I won't bother my father-in-law."
"Master Liu, farewell." The eunuch said, "Tomorrow, Master Liu, don't forget to visit us tomorrow."
"Welcome to you!"
After the eunuch left with a group of people, Liu Mo took out the banknotes in his hand and took a look.
Good guy, five hundred taels for the first meeting!
Eighty percent of the time, you need something from me!
Thinking of this, Liu Mo felt a little uneasy.
He turned around and entered the house, telling his four wives the good news and sharing the joy.
Yuan'er was so excited when she heard about it. From a maid to a wife who was a seventh-grade salt luck censor, she didn't know how happy she was. Xin'er, on the other hand, didn't come back to her senses for a long time, and then her expression became very complicated.
Her status as a roommate was a lingering haze for her. The bigger Liu Moguan became, the more inferior she felt.
Among the few people, only Lin Shiqi and Liu Mo have the same mind.
The higher you climb, the harder you fall!
In less than a year, he was promoted from a commoner to the seventh rank, and at the same time, he was personally appointed by the Emperor of Great Xia!
After learning that the eunuch who announced the decree sent a red envelope, she frowned even more, "Husband, please return the banknote to that father-in-law tomorrow!"
"Well, that's exactly what I meant!"
I'm at the forefront now, so I can't accept red envelopes like this casually.
Another thing, I’m not short of money either!
Nothing happened all afternoon, until dusk, when the sun set in the west.
He Ruda's men came down.
Liu Mo had cooperated with him for so long and had already established a tacit understanding. He followed the visitor directly to the Rongcheng County Government Office without asking any questions.
As soon as he entered the county government living room, Liu Mo sat directly on the chair, picked up the fresh fruit on the table, took a bite, and the juice splashed everywhere.
Not long after, He Ruda came.
Looking up, Liu Mo was shocked.
Because he saw that He Ruda was wearing a brand new red robe at this time.
If I’m not mistaken, this is the groom’s wedding attire!
"Brother He, what are you..."
"Haha, Brother Liu Xian, what do you think of my clothes?"
Good guy! Don't tell me you want to take a concubine!
"Brother He, do you want to take a concubine?"
"clever!"
Damn it!
Liu Mo was so surprised that he was speechless!
"Why are you looking like this?" He Ruda flicked his sleeves and showed displeasure. "You are allowed to have three concubines for half a year, but you are not allowed to marry a concubine for your brother?"
Damn it makes sense, I can't refute it.
"Which family is she from?"
"Hahaha, you may not believe it." He Ru laughed and said, "This lady is also from your Lin family."
Damn it! Our Lin family!
"What do you mean, please explain clearly!" Liu Mo couldn't help but ask.
"Oh, brother Liu Xian, please be patient!" He Ruda said calmly, "Don't you think Mrs. Zhou has three sons? The eldest son Lin Yu, the second son Lin Yuan, and the third son Lin Xian."
"Tell me the important point!" Liu Mo lost patience.
"Lin Yu has a seventeen-year-old daughter."
…
Liu Mo remembered: Qing'er!
Last time in Linyang, Lin Yu's roommate wanted to join a new salt business, so he asked Lin Yi to draw a cake for him. During the period, he mentioned Qing'er, who was only 16 during the Chinese New Year! (One year has passed, one year older!)
A seventeen-year-old girl, and you, an "uncle" in his forties!
Damn it! You old cow eats young grass too much.
"Brother He, are you kidding me? Uncle, will he agree to betroth Qing'er to you?" Liu Mo paused, "As a concubine!"
"My dear brother! Do you really don't understand, or do you pretend you don't understand?" He Ruda said earnestly, "He is a scholar, farmer, industrialist, and merchant. He, Lin Yu, comes from a merchant family. I am willing to marry his daughter because of your face, my dear brother." superior!
Haha, when I marry Miss Qing'er, you and I will become brothers-in-law, wouldn't it be great? "
Good guy, totally impossible to refute.
"Brother He, you have to ignore my existence and don't give me any face!" Liu Mo joked.
"Eh..." He Ruda's expression changed when he heard this, "Brother Liu Xian, are you also attracted to Miss Qing'er? Haha, it doesn't matter. If brother Xian likes her, he will definitely not win over others' love."
I've fallen in love with you, I've never seen Qing'er before!
"Don't make fun of me, okay?" Liu Mo said with disgust.
"Hahaha. In this case, the Lin family is really lucky to be able to marry the dignified prefect Jiang Lin!"
Good guy, Magistrate Jianglin?
"Brother He, you have been promoted!"
