140, Chapter 140

Qin Fang saw Yang Haiyan asking himself, and he said truthfully: "Master Du wrote a letter to me. Master Du said that I was just promoted in March. No matter how great my contribution to the sulfur mine and saltpeter mine is, it will not be easy at this time." Promotion. I thought that the emperor didn't want me to be promoted too quickly."

Even if Yang Haiyan has not been in the workplace, she still knows some of the situations, and compared with the imperial court, the workplace is nothing compared. The boss can suppress his employees, let alone the emperor? "What about this credit? No reward?"

Qin Fang said: "That's not the case. The emperor has granted grandma and grandma the imperial edicts, and they are the seventh-grade children."

Upon hearing this, Yang Haiyan said: "According to our Qiguo Law, when a man is an official, he can ask for a royal decree for his wife or mother, usually the wife. When you are promoted to General Wude, my royal decree will follow. Therefore, there is no royal life for my mother anymore. It is a happy event to exchange the rewards of sulfur mine and saltpeter mine for my mother and grandma's life. "She has a weak family relationship and was abandoned by her biological parents when she was a child. The old lady picked her up and raised her. It's just that the old lady was too old when she picked her up, otherwise she wouldn't be her old lady. So when she was fifteen years old, her grandmother died.

It is also because of this that she yearns for family affection. Now Qin's mother and grandma Qin are very fond of Qin Fang, and they love her as much as they love her. If it were her, there would be such a mother and grandma who would be willing to exchange their rewards for their lives. Therefore, she could see that Qin Fang was also very happy. No, in Yang Haiyan's view, there is another advantage, "In this way, mother and grandmother will have a monthly allowance of four taels of silver." The monthly allowance of a imperial edict is half that of an official, but the monthly allowance of four taels of silver is, For ordinary people, that was a lot of money. After all, they could not spend more than four taels of silver a year.

Even if the emperor granted imperial orders to Grandma Qin and Mother Qin, he was not very generous. Two imperial orders of the seventh rank, which add up to about one hundred taels of silver every year, can support them in death. But if it is a royal decree of the fifth grade, it will cost more than a thousand taels a year, which is a huge difference.

Qin Fang didn't think about this. All his current subsidies add up to one hundred and twenty taels a month, which is enough to support his parents and grandparents, so he didn't think about the imperial salary. Now that Yang Haiyan mentioned it, he felt that things couldn't get any better.

The couple chatted for a while, and then Yang Haiyan went to prepare dinner. Today she would definitely be entertaining Wei Ting and Manager Chi. It's just that Yang Haiyan didn't know that although her contribution to the military camp's land policy and saltpeter ice production was great, it was not enough for the emperor to confer her as a township monarch and give her a title. Half of her honor today is due to Qin Fang. The ones that really contributed the most were the sulfur mines and saltpeter mines.

However, Qin Fang was not prepared to tell her such a thing. In Qin Fang's mind, she just needed to be happy. He was willing to make any sacrifice for her, just like she didn't despise him before.

Baili Village

Baili Village is currently holding a flowing water banquet. Although Qin Fang is not here, the elders and village chiefs know about such a glorious event, so the flowing water banquet will naturally be held. Moreover, the running water banquet was very rich, which also made Qin's mother rich. When the eldest and his wife returned to the border last year, they left thirty taels of silver to build a house out of the one hundred taels. Adding in the ten taels of filial piety silver they brought back at the end of last year, Qin's mother's purse was also bulging.

"Mom Qin Fang, congratulations to you. This kid Qin Fang was smart when he was a child. He seemed to be a promising person at first glance. He didn't expect that he would become a general now."

"Isn't that right? Youdao says you look old at the age of three. I used to think Qin Fang was a capable person."

"The Qin family has changed its family. It used to be an official family."

"It is said that the general Qin Fang is older than the county magistrate."

"Then will the county magistrate come today?"

"The Qin family didn't invite the county magistrate, did they?"

It is true that the Qin family did not invite the county magistrate, and the county magistrate did not know about this matter in the first place. After all, Qin Fang did not take the path of martial arts, and the court that he was promoted in this way would not be made public, and the news would not be spread back to his hometown. So how could the county magistrate know?

Moreover, the Qin family is not the kind of people who like to publicize. In addition to the villagers, the Qin family's relatives this time.

But the county magistrate still knew about it, because people from the capital came to declare the imperial edict.

The people in Baili Village were eating at the moment. Everyone was eating and chatting, and it was very lively. Just then, a group of people came in, led by a Yamen servant. The county government officials wore official clothes, so they stood out. As soon as the Yamen came in, everyone inside was startled. Some people didn't even swallow the food in their mouths, so they just stared in shock.

Someone began to whisper: "Why are the government officials here?"

"The Qin family won't commit any trouble, right?"

"Qin Fang is a general, a higher official than the county magistrate?"

"Then it must be Qin Fang who committed the crime?"

"Who knows?"

The Qin family was also very uneasy. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. Finally, when Grandpa Qin came forward and planned to ask, he saw the yamen servant standing still and not speaking. Someone else came in at the door of the courtyard. The visitor was wearing official uniform, and he looked like an official.

"The county magistrate..." the village chief shouted. Others don't know the county magistrate, but the village chief does. The village chief hurriedly walked out of the crowd and walked up to the county magistrate. "The common people meet the county magistrate."

As soon as everyone heard that the village chief said that he was the county magistrate, and saw the village chief kneeling down, they all stood up and prepared to kneel down.

The county magistrate hurriedly said: "No need to be polite, just listen to me."

Suddenly, the people who were about to kneel down stopped. The villagers were still very good at listening to what the county magistrate said.

The county magistrate looked around and said, "Is this the home of General Qin Fang and Qin?"

Upon hearing this, everyone stepped aside and looked at the Qin family. However, from the county magistrate's question, they also understood that Qin Fang didn't seem to have committed any crime, but the county magistrate seemed to be here to celebrate?

Grandpa Qin walked up to the person and said respectfully, "The grassman is Qin Fang's grandfather. Meet the county magistrate."

The county magistrate stepped forward and quickly supported him without letting him salute. The county magistrate followed and said: "Old man, you don't need to be polite. General Qin has made great contributions to the country. The emperor has granted royal orders to Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Qin. The officials promoting the imperial edict are waiting outside. I'm going to invite people in." "In Qi State, officials are officials, which are eunuchs. Eunuchs are also called eunuchs, so there are officials and officials.

Many people don't know what a decree means, but there are still quite a few people in Baili Village who know what a decree means. Because there are children and scholars in Baili Village, when people chat, they will also talk about scholars and officials. Therefore, we know that if the son of the family is promising and becomes an official, he can ask for a royal title for his mother.

No, it is rare for the imperial edict to be granted to the grandmother.

Grandpa Qin also knows a lot about this aspect. After his grandson returned to the military camp last year and learned that his grandson had become a seventh-grade captain, Grandpa Qin often asked Tong Sheng about official affairs. Although Tong Sheng knew very little, he still knew more than Grandpa Qin.

"‌..." Grandpa Qin was stunned. The eldest grandson fought for his mother and grandma? Or two? ‌How big an official is he? Grandpa Qin was unable to react, so he looked at Huang Huzi.

Huang Huzi stepped forward and supported Grandpa Qin: "Don't worry, the general has indeed made great achievements this time. Let's invite the officials in."

Hearing Huang Huzi say that his eldest grandson had indeed made great contributions, Grandpa Qin breathed a sigh of relief. He said to the county magistrate: "Thank you so much for informing me, my friendly officer."

The county magistrate glanced at Huang Huzi and said to everyone: "The officials are here with the imperial edict, everyone give in."

Then a eunuch came in holding the imperial edict: "The imperial edict has arrived. Qin Fang's biological mother, Qin Li, will receive it."

"Long live my emperor, long live long live..."

No one could understand what the eunuch recited next, not even Qin's mother. The eunuch finished reading the imperial decree for the canonization of Qin's mother, and then read the imperial decree for the canonization of Grandma Qin. After finishing reading, he looked at them and said, "Two children, please accept the order."

Qin's mother said in a panic: "The civilian woman accepted the order and thanked the emperor. Long live the emperor. Long live the emperor."

When Grandma Qin saw this, she also said: "The civilian woman accepted the order and thanked the Emperor. Long live the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."

When the eunuch saw this, he did not say that their etiquette was irregular. He knew that they were ignorant women, and he would not be too picky. The eunuch gave them the imperial edict and said a few words: "General Qin has a bright future, and the two children will be better and better in the future. Our family is here, so I would like to say congratulations to the Qin family in advance."

Grandma Qin said hurriedly: "You are so polite. Today...today our family is setting up a flowing banquet to celebrate Ah Fang becoming a general. This also stimulates the court's attention to Ah Fang. You are a guest from afar, so please take a seat."

The eunuch said: "Thank you Ruren. The emperor is still waiting for our reply, so I won't disturb you."

Grandpa Qin said hurriedly: "The official has been working hard all the way. It's outrageous that our family doesn't even invite a cup of tea. We invite the official into the inner hall to have a cup of tea before leaving."

The eunuch smiled: "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."

Grandpa Qin took the eunuch into the house, and Grandma Qin hurriedly poured a glass of sugar water. The eunuch picked up the sugar water and took a symbolic sip: "The tea has been drunk. We really have to say goodbye. If we are destined to meet in the future, I wonder if we can meet again in the capital."

Grandpa Qin hurriedly presented a purse: "Today, there will be a flowing banquet at home. According to our rules, guests must receive wedding money to enjoy the family's happiness. Please also ask the officials not to refuse." Grandpa Qin's words were high-end, let alone The eunuch would not refuse, and even if he refused, he would not be able to give a good reason.

No, ‌, ‌ are just words for the occasion, and everyone knows it. The eunuch took the purse and stuffed it into his sleeve: "Then let's say goodbye." As soon as he received the purse, he felt that it was light and he knew it must be a banknote. As for those who know how to use banknotes, the amount will definitely not be small, so the eunuch is in a good mood.
