Anyone who dares to be obedient in these matters will be in trouble.

After arranging all these matters, the official Zhao Ji took a sip of tea and then asked.

"By the way, why didn't I hear you talk about Xiao Gao's award?"

Seeing the look from official Zhao Ji, Yang Jian replied respectfully.

"Xiang Cai believed that Duke Zhuangyuan was the first official to quell the Zhu family's rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River, and he was also favored by the official family, so he proposed to the official official sage."

After hearing this, the official Zhao Ji hesitated for a moment, then showed a playful smile and couldn't help but say something.

"That's all, this old cunning guy, let me think about it carefully first..."

"Such a great achievement as quelling the rebellion cannot but be generously rewarded. I remember that Xiao Gao was already in the Longtuge Pavilion waiting to be made, starting from the fourth rank."

"The official family, and the privy ministers have accepted the decree." Yang Jian saw the official family starting to frown, and quickly reminded him.

"The Privy Council accepts the decree... This child is both civil and military. The Privy Council is really a good place for him. The Privy Council accepts the decree, so no one should have any objection..."

"Let's go back and wait until Jiangnan is completely peaceful and the affairs of the Shipping Department are settled..."

Yang Jian just stood silently next to the official Zhao Ji, listening to the other person talking to himself in front of him, and could only roll his eyes covertly.

I have to say, that old boy Cai Jing is really a treacherous and slippery man. He knows that you, the official, are interested in the number one scholar.

I'm also afraid that the reward negotiated with a group of officials will displease the officials, so I'll just let you have the headache yourself.

As long as you think it's appropriate, then hand it over to Cai Jing. With that old boy's ability, he will naturally make things pass smoothly.

But having said that, Tong Zhisheng and Cai Laoliu both became a member of the Bank of China, that is, the seventh grade.

At the beginning, these two were just Zuo Lang of the eighth rank, but now they have directly reached the seventh rank, which is quite appropriate.

As for Yang Jian's godson Yang Xiong and Yang Duzhi, he also had to be awarded the post of Zhaoxuan envoy of the sixth rank, and he still managed the affairs of the Imperial City Department.

You know, this godson has been working conscientiously for several years in the Imperial City Division, but he has never been favored by the officials.

After following Gao Zhang, he can now be called Yang Zhongguan.

I will wait until my godson returns to Bianliang, Tokyo, and talk to him carefully. After all, the champion is still so young and has a bright future...

A fleet of ships sailed slowly into Hangzhou. A handsome young man stood on the bow of the ship, looking at the bustling and noisy Hangzhou.

It's just that the sun is obviously a bit vicious, so Gao Zhang, the handsome young man who is famous all over the world and arrived in Hangzhou incognito today, can't help but subconsciously narrow his eyes.

The next moment, a cloth umbrella opened over his head. Gao Zhang tilted his head and saw Miss Fang Baihua, who was a head taller than him, showing a sweet smile to him.

The height must be at least 1.75 meters. The problem is that this young lady is only fifteen years old and can still grow a little longer. Maybe after she gets through the growth period, she may grow to 1.8 meters.

However, her brother Fang Laben was a tall man of over 1.8 meters which was extremely rare to see in the Jiangnan area.

It seems that whether this gene is good or not, it still makes sense.

Gao Zhang couldn't help but glance at himself. During this period, Gao Zhang could clearly feel that his height was rising. He should be almost 1.5 meters tall.

However, in front of this charming, slim and long-legged lady, she still looks a little short.

"Thank you, Miss."

Gao Zhang smiled back at Fang Baihua, and when he turned around, he saw the bastard Fu'an.

Under the scorching sun, I felt comfortable bragging and spanking with others.

At this moment, Lu Qian was holding the Shangfang sword in his arms, looking at the sword in his arms with a very solemn expression.

Gao Zhang suspected that even if his wife, Mrs. Huang, passed by him at this moment, the ambitious Brother Lu would not even raise his eyelids.

Haha... Fortunately, I have a long-legged lady who is considerate. Otherwise, I always feel that I, a dignified high-ranking official, don't even have the temperament of a bully.

Fang Baihua, Fang La's biological sister with long legs, smiled sweetly at Gao Zhang and continued to look curiously at Hangzhou, which was not much less prosperous than Suzhou.

Since his brother Fang La came to Suzhou with Zhu Meng's head, he met his sister Fang Baihua.

When it came to asking Fang Baihua to return to Qingxi, this time, Fang Baihua refused more simply.

The reason was still exactly the same as last time, and with the imperial appointment being sent to Suzhou, Fang La became a rich man in Qingxi County in less than half a year.

Already transformed, he became the seventh-grade deputy envoy of the Hakka Province due to his meritorious service, and was also awarded the naval commander of the Hangzhou Ship Division.

And his cousin Fang Qifu became a Dutou under his command.

As for Fang Fei, who was both civil and military, he took charge of the merchant fleet.

Faced with the Zhuangyuan Gong's trust and importance in his own Fang family.

Fang La never mentioned letting the girl return to Qingxi again.

However, he also saw that the champion seemed to have a good impression of his sister, but his attitude towards her was really unpredictable.

The young lady is constantly calling her, and she is not shy about holding hands or anything like that, but if she wants to go further, she seems to feel that there is something wrong with her.

This made Fang La really confused about what the No. 1 Scholar meant?

How did he know that Gao Zhang had been gritting his teeth and working hard to grow his body, and he must not mess around until the secondary growth was completed.

After all, Gao Zhang, whose body is still very impressive, still wants to grow taller and live a long life.

In Hangzhou, in addition to a large number of traders, there are also many business travelers from foreign countries, wearing all kinds of clothes.

Even their beards, hair and skin are completely different from those of the Song Dynasty people, and they wander around the city of Hangzhou in groups.

Of course, they are not here for tourism, but for business. After all, Hangzhou City has opened as a port.

This attracted a lot of foreign businessmen who began to flock here, naturally looking for new opportunities to make money.

"Master, look quickly, that's my eldest brother..."

Just as the ship slowly approached the dock, Fang Baihua beside Gao Zhang shouted excitedly.

Gao Zhang looked up, and sure enough he saw a team surrounding a carriage on the pier. The leader, tying the reins and sitting on the horse's back, was none other than Fang Baihua's brother Fang La.

Fang La also saw Gao Zhang and his sister waving at him, immediately got off his horse and walked quickly towards this side.

After Gao Zhang stepped onto the pier, he stretched out his hand to lift up Fang La, who was saluting him.

"General Fang doesn't have to be polite. How about it? What's the difficulty in serving under that Tan Tiju?"
