Chu Qing finally won the bet.
After waiting anxiously in the Qianqiying government office, a dead eunuch finally arrived, not Sun An, but a young eunuch, holding an imperial edict.
Chu Qing was promoted. An official with no real power was called a male, a county male, or a county male in Si'an County. It was not considered a promotion, but a title. It was just the lowest among duke, marquis, count, lord, son, and male. The title is a county boy, but he is not a county son yet.
Chu Qing, who was kneeling on the ground, raised his head and was very confused after listening to the imperial edict in a daze.
The little eunuch left, and Chen Yan and Chang Xian congratulated each other. Chu Qing asked more and then realized that he had a title. It was as sesame as a mung bean, and it was worth noting even in the capital.
"Where is Si'an?" Chu Qing looked at the imperial edict, frowned and asked, "Is it far from the capital?"
Chen Yan looked a little embarrassed: "Si'an County was originally a lower county on the outskirts of Beijing during the reign of Emperor Changwu during the Shangjing Period. However, as the capital continued to expand, Si'an County was included in the capital. Today's Beishi City is where it was at that time. Four safe."
"Bei City?!" Chu Qing took a breath: "From now on, I will have the final say in Bei City?"
Although he didn't know about the title system, he still knew about the fiefdom.
As long as there is a fief, the people in the fief are under his control. They are no longer called people, but called farmers, who are responsible for their own profits and losses.
Chu Qing was so excited that he almost had a brain hemorrhage: "The emperor is too generous, isn't he? A quarter of the capital belongs to me?"
"Wishful thinking." Chen Yan said angrily: "Si'an County is no longer visible on the map, but the emperor has named you the county magistrate of Si'an County. Naturally, you will not move south like during Shang Jing's reign, so If you think about it..."
Chen Yan glanced at Changxian and asked, "Is it in the southern suburbs of the capital?"
Changxian nodded: "Yes, it is in Zhuangzi, the southern suburbs. The county male fiefdom covers an area... it should be as big as Zhuangzi, the southern suburbs."
"Fuck!"
Chu Qing understood this time, and he knew that the emperor of Dachang Dynasty was not so kind.
After going back and forth, his fiefdom was located where the refugees lived, which was the private land of his Chu family.
This means that he will take care of the refugees from now on, but they will still be real refugees, itinerant refugees.
The land originally belonged to my family, and I spent money to build the house. Then I was given a fiefdom. The fiefdom... is in my home, which means that in my home, I have the final say... Do you still need to seal it for me? !
"Hey, this emperor is really a thief." Chu Qing was so angry that he looked at Chen Yan and asked, "Can I go back to this county man?"
"Retreat?" Chen Yan couldn't laugh or cry: "Why?"
"First of all, I didn't get any benefits, and secondly, it was too small."
"It's best not to retreat." Chen Yan said cheerfully: "Brother Yu secretly thought that although this county boy is young, he is the first knight to be awarded by the emperor after he ascends the throne."
Chu Qing's face changed slightly: "You mean, I am the first to be awarded a title. Although my official position is small, it is of great significance?"
"No, I guess Brother Yu, if the first title awarded after ascending the throne has been returned, the emperor may want to kill you."
Chu Qing: "..."
Patting Chu Qing's shoulder, Chen Yan's smile grew stronger: "Just hang in there, make more contributions, and you'll slowly get promoted."
Chu Qing rolled his eyes fiercely.
Even if you get promoted again, don't you still think of Zhuangzi in the southern suburbs as the center? Don't you still have to "take care of" the group of refugees?
When I think about it more deeply, I feel a mixture of joy and sorrow.
Fortunately, the matter of rescuing the refugees was completely confirmed, and the emperor gave it a high degree of affirmation, otherwise it would not have been possible to be knighted.
What's worrying is that the emperor decided that he was a good person who had done good deeds, and then asked him, a good person, to continue doing good deeds. If there was a time limit, it might be ten thousand years, if he could live that long.
Squatting on the ground and rubbing his head, Chu Qing was not happy at all.
It's not that he doesn't want to take care of the refugees, but relief and care are two completely different concepts.
He tried his best, and the most he could do was to give the refugees a place to live, so they wouldn't go hungry. This was relief, but taking care of it was another matter. Not only did he have to keep this group of people alive, but he also had to keep this group of people alive. Live well.
The most disturbing thing is that the refugees are "refugees", not the regular villagers of his Chu family. They may have just found a job for the refugees, the disaster period has passed, or due to other reasons, the refugees have left, let alone their identities. Once certified, you don’t even need to apply for temporary residence in the witness’s home.
Chu Qing's worries, even if they were sad or painful, would never last more than three minutes. After three minutes, they would be deeply hidden in his heart.
Chu Qing muttered without knowing what he said. He stood up and looked at Fu San: "I'm not going to play anymore. Let's go."
Chen Yan asked in confusion: "Why is it that the knighthood is such a gratifying and congratulatory thing?"
"Ennoble yourself, you idiot!" Chu Qing shouted bitterly: "This is the emperor looking for a big brother for the refugees!"
After thinking about it, Chu Qing grabbed the deputy commander's belt card on the stone table.
Without the status of deputy commander, he was afraid that if he could not suppress the officials in the capital, how could he extort their money to help the refugees.
Chu Qing left with Fu San angrily, leaving behind Chen Yan and Chang Xian who were smiling bitterly.
Changxian's face was slumped, and he said with an expression of being aggrieved: "Father is really stingy. He has obviously made great achievements, but he only made a county boy."
"King Langya's words are wrong. His Majesty naturally has his own considerations, but the general has some guesses."
"What's your guess?"
"The Li family is just suffering from scabies, various tax affairs, and the King of Wu. This is your majesty's biggest concern. Your majesty did not give me any instructions to take back the Qianqiying waist badge. I think it is to let Chu Qing continue to do so. The identity of the deputy commander is checked with the King of Wu, and now we just get rid of the Li family, how can your majesty give you such a large reward?"
Changxian suddenly realized, and a smile appeared on his little face: "So that's the case, that's good. With Master Chu's ability, he will definitely handle the job properly. When the time comes, Father Chu will also reward Master Chu."
Since we talked about this matter, we naturally talked about Wu Wang Chang Chengke. Let’s not talk about the two of them, just Chu Qing and Fu San. After leaving the government office, they strolled out of the city and did not go to the southern suburbs to see the refugees. Instead, go to the northern suburbs, Taojiazhuangzi in the northern suburbs.
Chu Qing is a person who is accustomed to compromise. He will compromise immediately to things or people that he cannot resist, so as not to ask for trouble.
The imperial edict has come down, and I have accepted it. Until now, it is not something that I can control.
After transforming into a lord, Chu Qing slowly figured out that it was actually quite good.
The princes and nobles in the capital are everywhere, and their nobles are as numerous as dogs. But among these guys, who are everywhere like dogs, none of them are born as dukes, marquises, or lords. Aren't they all mixed up little by little? Of course, except for Tianhuang Guizhou.
On the contrary, Chu Qing was very pleased that the emperor recognized him for rescuing the victims in this way. It was not as thrilling as expected. The emperor went to see it, and the imperial edict came the next day, and that was it.
A lot of heavy stones were dropped in his heart. Chu Qing had nothing to do for the time being, or maybe he didn't want to find anything to do. After he had some free time, the first thing he thought of was Tao Ruolin, so he came outside of Tao's village.
Rubbing his hands, Chu Qing looked slightly nervous: "I haven't picked up a girl for a long time, and I don't know if my skills are new."
