In just a few days, Xie Yuan successively conferred nearly a hundred titles. Except for the empress's natal nephew who was conferred the title of Marquis of Rong En because of the birth of a queen, the others were all because of his own. Past meritorious service is sealed.

Apart from Li Jing and Ye Anlan, four other people under Xie Yuan's command were also conferred the title of hereditary duke.

Together with Ye Jinkui and others, there were nearly [-] marquises in total.Among the thirty marquises, more than half are hereditary descendants, and only eight are hereditary replacements.

In addition, Xie Yuan also sealed nearly twenty uncles who were either hereditary replacements or reduced hereditary uncles.

With so many entrustments in one go, the treasury has to spend a considerable amount of silver a year just to distribute salaries to these people.

Fortunately, most of these people are descended hereditary, and the salary will only get less and less, not more and more.

In addition, these titles, without exception, only give salary and no fiefdom. From a long-term perspective, Xie Yuan is sure to make money from this business.

".Although His Majesty is very fair and generous, some people who are not greedy still feel that they have been treated badly and that others have taken advantage of them." After roughly talking about the distribution of titles, Li Jing couldn't help but vomit bitterness with his sweetheart, and he sighed , "Fortunately, you and Liang Wang are in front of you, so that even if they have some thoughts in their hearts, they don't dare to say more, otherwise there will be another disturbance in the court."

After all, when it comes to "being mistreated", Pei Yuanjiang and Ye Anlan are the two who deserved to be "the most ruthlessly treated".

They didn't say anything, how could the others have the nerve to jump in front of Xie Yuan?

If Xie Yuan hadn't asked for trouble by asking his subordinates to secretly collect the follow-up reactions of the courtiers to the entrustment, they wouldn't even know that some people were dissatisfied with the award they received.

Hearing what he said, Ye Anlan immediately thought of those little books that Xie Yuan made people record everyone's contributions conscientiously, and she shook her head amusedly, "The word 'fortunately' should not be said by you, but by you. It should be said by those who are not greedy. King Liang and I are preventing disaster for them, otherwise if they really jump out, His Majesty will definitely teach them how to behave."

Xie Yuan is not the kind of soft-tempered person who is easy to control, whoever dares to play tricks with him, he dares to let anyone go home and eat him.

From this point of view, isn't she and Pei Yuanjiang just preventing disaster for these people?

Li Jing was amused by her, "By the way, King Liang's wedding date has been fixed, and His Majesty plans to marry him and Miss Ji tomorrow."

Ye Anlan glanced at him, "I heard that Mr. An is also very popular recently?"

Li Jing's handsome face turned red, he lowered his voice, "I refused."

Ye Anlan couldn't help laughing, "Well, you're so cute."

Before she finished speaking, Li Jing stood up abruptly.

He waved his hands at Ye Anlan indiscriminately, "I, I still have something to do, so I'll go back first."

After saying that, he turned around and walked away as if fleeing.

Ye Anlan was amused by his extraordinarily funny reaction. Relying that she was the only one left in the room, she leaned over the table laughing and having no image at all.

Enough of laughing, Ye Anlan was planning to clean up and go back to the backyard to rest, but her mother Li Shi came to the door very suddenly.

She brought Ye Anlan a piece of news that both shocked her and left her speechless. It turned out that just now, that kid Hua Liang actually sent someone to propose marriage for him.

He didn't know when he fell in love with Ye Anlan's youngest sister, Ye Tang. After the court's award came, he couldn't wait to ask Ge Tianrong's wife to come to propose marriage on his behalf.

Ge Tianrong was a former official of the Great Zhou who served Ye Anlan together with Old Master Pan and others. He was not of high birth, but he was very capable and talented. After the founding of the Great Qi, he was appointed by Xie Yuan as Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

His wife has been living in Mengshan since Ge Tianrong joined the Ye family, and she has been neighbors with Li for many years, and the two have similar temperaments and have always gotten along very well.

In addition, she is now the wife of the minister of the Ministry of Industry, asking her to be a matchmaker will not make the Ye family feel inferior.

Mrs. Li whispered to the eldest daughter what Mrs. Ge conveyed, "The child said that he has no father and no mother, and that everything in the house will be decided by your little sister from now on. He also said that he will not take concubines and take over the house, And I won’t go out to find flowers and ask Liu to make things difficult for your little sister.”

These two are what Li Shi values ​​most. As for the last one that Hua Liang said, although he is only an uncle now, he is still young, and he will work harder in the future to earn more rewards for Ye Tang. If she is not allowed to be shorter than others, Li Shi thinks it doesn't matter.

The hereditary uncle is already very remarkable, especially that child, as he said himself, is still very young.

Ye Anlan saw that Li's heart was actually moved, she asked her mother, "Mother wants to agree to this marriage?"

Mrs. Li didn't nod or shake her head, "Mother really thinks that child is pretty good, but mother is not sure whether this marriage can be concluded or not."

Hua Liang had lived under Li Shi's nose for a period of time, and knew Li Shi quite well.

In her opinion, Hualiang is a handsome young man who is young and promising, knows how to repay kindness, and values ​​love and righteousness. He is more than enough to match her lazy daughter.

The most important thing is that Hua Liang also made it clear that he is interested in Ye Tang, and he is willing to only guard Ye Tang in the future.

Li Shi, who witnessed the unfortunate marriage of Ye Anlan's biological mother and grandmother, has long since disbelieved in the words of her parents and matchmakers. It's not that they have a crush on each other.

Hua Liang likes Ye Tang, and Ye Tang has a good impression of Hua Liang, which is very rare in Li Shi's view.

Ye Anlan patiently listened to her babbling, and then said to Li Shi with a smile: "Then you can ask the younger sister what she means, and see if she is willing."

Mrs. Li looked at Ye Anlan's face carefully, "I wanted to ask you first. I heard from your father that you have been accused a lot recently. If our family is married to a powerful general like Hualiang at this time."

Ye Anlan was moved, "It's okay. Senior brother believes in me, and other people won't cause me any hindrance even if they get a job. Besides, Hua Liang was brought out by Ah Jing, and he was originally with us."

She blinked at Li Shi with a sly face, and Li Shi was coaxed by her words, and his heavy heart suddenly became lighter.

"Then mother, let's find a suitable matchmaker!" Mrs. Li stood up happily, "When mother is done with your little sister, it is estimated that Mrs. Li and Mrs. Li have also arrived in the capital, and mother can just spare time. Busy on your side."
