A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 124 New Noble
In the same way, Xue Wanche was promoted to the Duke of the county, and Huai Yu was promoted to the male of the county.

At the county government hall in Zhang County, everyone congratulated Huaiyu one after another.

The founding man of Daling County, ranked last among the nine ranks of the Tang Dynasty, with three hundred households in Shiyi, from the fifth rank.Wu Huaiyu has officially entered the ranks of nobles, which is worthy of congratulations.

"General Wu, this is a pair of silver vases with golden flowers and lions that His Royal Highness rewarded you. There are also two horses outside the county government gate, which are also rewards from His Royal Highness. There are also [-] pieces of miscellaneous colors here, please accept them."

The Xuanzhi Qingpao Angel with injuries is a ninth-rank official, but he is much older than Huaiyu. He entered the official position through the Mingjing imperial examination, and after several years of hard work, he is still only a ninth-rank official. The young man in front of him , I only came down from Zhongnan Mountain two months ago, and I was specially conferred an official position a month ago, but now I have become a baron.

The baron who got this product from the seventh rank, dare not say that he is the only one, but it is indeed a very special existence.

A pair of silver vases are placed on the table, which was given by the prince. The oval-shaped pot with a handle, a high-bodied pot, a silver body, and a gold-plated chiseled lion pattern on the surface are obviously the style of a vase from the Western Regions. This is a kind of wine vessel.

Because of its exquisite style and precious material, it is often used to reward ministers for their meritorious deeds.

In the feudal era, there were status restrictions on everything, including drinking utensils, below the first rank, food utensils must not use muddy gold and jade, and below the sixth rank cannot use muddy silver.

Without a sixth-rank official, sterling silver tableware and wine utensils are not eligible to use, and using them is exceeding the law.

There was a seal on the pair of bearded silver bottles, and the angel asked Huaiyu to open it, and there was a small surprise inside, one silver bottle contained gold Kaiyuan Tongbao, and the other contained silver Kaiyuan Tongbao.

"There are a total of 66 gold Kaiyuan Tongbao coins, each weighing two coins, and 88 silver Kaiyuan coins, each weighing two coins."

The gold content of this little surprise is very high, and they are all dedicated to court rewards.

These gold and silver coins are worth more than 130 Kaiyuan Tongbao copper coins.

The pair of silver vases are so exquisite, the price must be more than that, and there are two horses with a hundred variegated colors.

"His Royal Highness also rewarded the general with two hectares of land in Guanzhong and ten slaves. These will be collected from Yousi after the general arrives in Beijing."

Li Shimin is really generous with the rewards worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Compared with real rewards such as gold, silver slaves, maids, horses, fields, and various colors, the title of Founding Man of Daling County is actually more symbolic, because there are very few actual titles now, even if the word "Founding" is added deliberately Imaginary.

After all, the old martial arts family is a family of three masters, and Huaiyu also knows about the title of Datang.

But Xu Feng is also a noble, and he is also a member of the meritorious group, even if he is a little brother.

Lu Huairang had been prepared for a long time, and asked his entourage to bring a tray with thank you gifts, not ordinary yellow and white vulgar things, but high-quality pine smoke ink and Yizhou ephedra paper, plus fire salt bricks produced by Baoyu, and Two cakes of Sichuan Mengding stone flower tribute tea.

It's not bad at all, but it's also worth a lot.

The green-robed angel declined a few times, but finally accepted it with a smile.

Huaiyu changed the medicine for the angel and sent two bottles of medicine.

Send the angel back to rest, and everyone congratulates each other in the corridor.

Huaiyu was the only one who was knighted among the few, but everyone has a share in being promoted to an official rank. ), awarded the guerrilla general number.

Huaiyi is the sixth rank of the two battles, and the accumulated former honors are seven ranks, and he is the captain of the light car.He still has to do two jumps to advance straight to the fourth rank, from Chengwu Lang, who was ranked eighth, to Xuan Yilang, who was ranked seventh, which is also the same rank as Huaiyu.

The prince also rewarded him with two servants, a horse, and fifty variegated colors.

Huaiyu was awarded the eighth rank, plus the previous one, and now he is also a nine-rank general honor officer, and he is regarded as the third rank.

Others also received rewards. Ma Zhouzhao was the prince's right guard and led the governor of the government. This is the seventh-rank position, and it was Lu Huairang's original position. Asking Lu Huairang to ask about the origin, Ma Zhou hand-copied a scroll for him, and Lu Kuan directly presented Ma Zhou's hand-copied scroll to the prince.

After seeing it, Li Shimin liked it very much. Hearing that this man was talented and able to join the army, he assisted the Wuhuai Yutong Hospital to make great contributions to the army, so he was recalled to Beijing and promoted several ranks in succession.

"Pack up your things and hurry back to Beijing." Lu Huairang was also promoted and honored, but he was not called back to Beijing and stayed in Longyou. He was very satisfied.

Those who want to return to the capital are Wu Huaiyu, Wu Huaiyi brothers, Ma Zhou, Cheng Chumo and Wang Da. These are the ones called by the crown prince to be recalled to the capital.

Huaiyu is still holding the post of town general of the hospital, but the post of town general of the hospital is temporarily taken over by the town's deputy Wu Junwei. He also won the five-turn honor this time, and Chen Xing, Zhao Xin, Hou San, and Xu Erlianzi each won it. Three or four Zhuan Xun, each smiling without disturbing their mouths.

Even if they want to separate from Huaiyu and stay in Longyou, they are still very satisfied.

"It was Xue Wanche who was lucky to pick up a big bargain. In the battle of Xinchuan, we worked desperately. In the end, this guy jumped out and chopped a jin to pick up a wolf flag. In the end, he was promoted to Duke of the county, and was awarded the title of governor of Longzhou. " Cheng Chumo was happy, but he didn't forget to mock Xue Wanche a few words.

He didn't mention Chai Shao, and he didn't say that the two sons were lucky. Ye Laozi made great achievements, and he passed them on when he was full. Even the young Chai Er had to marry the princess.

"If you want to talk about the marriage princess, I think it should be Wu Erlang and you, so it's his turn to be Chai Er."

Huaiyu is very satisfied with the reward now, with the ready example of Concubine Lu, he doesn't have any extravagant expectations for the princess and princess, not to mention how good the Fan Xuanfu is, whoever the hell will give it to the princess.

He is now a little worried about the foundation that Yanjingzhai has just created, the alkali workshop, soap workshop, salt workshop, and even his tea shop, restaurant, and tofu shop.

The prosperity of one industry drives the prosperity of all industries, and finally took the lead. Now I want to leave, I am really reluctant.Fan Xuanfu has even planned to build a big courtyard, and Huaiyu is planning to design it himself, thinking that he will live a magical world here in the future, who knows that he will leave in a blink of an eye.

Back at Yanjing Village, Fan Xuanfu had already heard the news and was waiting for him early.

"Going back to Chang'an?"

"Ah."

"Just now someone announced to me that you have been knighted, congratulations Erlang."

"It's just a baron. You Aye is already a county duke at the age of 20."

"That's different. I, Aye, followed His Majesty to start the country from the dragon. It's much more difficult for you as a nobleman." Fan Xuanfu felt that Wu Huaiyu was very special, "The man in my Fan Xuanfu's appearance is really extraordinary. When you return to Beijing this time, what do you have?" With the title of meritorious officer, I, Aye, will definitely agree to our marriage."

In fact, Fan Xing has long been willing. His daughter has killed three fiancés. Who would dare to marry Fan's mother in Chang'an now? With Wu Huaiyu, who is young and handsome, although his family background is poor, but he is very nice, how can there be such a son-in-law Fan Xing? Not picky at all, if it wasn't for Mrs. Fan's objection before, he would have taken the initiative to come to recognize his son-in-law.

"when are we leaving?"

"Tomorrow morning."

"Then I'll pack my things."

Fan Xuanfu smiled and said: "I have already selected a few good maidservants today, and I will bring them here for you to see if I explain them, and I will stay and serve you if I like them, but you have to go back to Chang'an."

In fact, there are not many things to clean up, but the stalls that have just been rolled out now have to be accounted for. Fortunately, Wu Junwei and other Wu family uncles and nephews are still here, while Chen Xing, Zhao Xin, Hou San, Xu Erleng, etc. The man is still there, and there are his servants and stewards in several workshops, and let them help take care of them.

"Don't worry, Lang," Chen Xing said with a smile. This cheap brother-in-law got his wish and now he has become an official. However, although his wife and children are in Chang'an, they already have concubines and maidservants here, and even bought land and land to open a shop, so it's very comfortable.

He didn't forget that all this was brought to him by Huaiyu.

"Even if you go to Chang'an, no one dares to hack any of your properties. Whoever dares to mess around, we will cut off his limbs and throw them into the mountains to feed the wolves." Xin Zhao also patted his chest and said.

Hou San even bluntly reassured Huaiyu that although he is now an official, he believes that he has always been from the Wu family.

Baoyu No. Salt Workshop, Shengyu No. Alkaline Workshop, and Meiyu No. Soap Workshop, although these three workshops have just been built, they are what Huaiyu cares most about and have the greatest potential. Other wine shops and tea shops are nothing. Qianjintang The drugstore semicolon is also okay.

At this time, he also had to lament that the Sanyuan Longqiao Wu family still had a weak background after all. Fortunately, old Wu family and Zhao Xin, Chen Xinghou, San Xu ErLeng, friends who he brought out by himself, could help him take care of them, otherwise these few days It must be difficult to do well without the owner of the stall.

Lu Huairang was very reluctant to leave Huaiyu, and even worried that the offering of fire salt bricks and snow grain salt would be terminated after Huaiyu left.

"Don't worry, the Baoyu Salt Factory will be able to produce five to six hundred catties of refined salt per day, and the supply will not be cut off."

Old Lu heaved a sigh of relief, "You're going back to Chang'an, man, I don't have anything to give away, so I'll give you this."

Huaiyu took it and saw that it was Tian Qi.

"Now that you are promoted and honored, your official Yongyetian and honored officer Yongyetian will naturally also be added. I will do something special for you."

According to the highest grant, Yongyetian, Huaiyu's official and honored officer, was [-] mu. Lu Huairang also managed it for him, and the land was in Qinzhou.

Now Huaiyu is granted the title of baron, and the rank of the general has six grades of office. The baron has [-] acres of permanent property, the general has [-] hectares of permanent property, and the official has hundreds of acres. They are not superimposed and only paid according to the highest. Can get [-] acres.

Originally, he was given [-] mu, but Lu Huai asked him to make up [-] mu for special affairs. This land is in several counties of Qinwei, and one piece of land is still near Yanjingzhai.

Although the land is only [-] mu, it is not cheap, but Lu Huairang is the son-in-law and the assistant of the governor's mansion, this matter is not worth mentioning to him, let alone the land for the newly promoted white-robed governor Baron Wu , all the way up and down is smooth, and it is really special.

Looking at the [-]-acre Yongye land deed, Huaiyu could only say that Lao Lu could pay it.

It is now the ninth year of Wude. Although this is Weizhou, the border area, the land is not so easy to grant, not to mention there is a piece of land in Yanjing Township, Zhang County, the richest in Weizhou.

This kind of person is not small.

This time I came to Longyou, not to mention being promoted to rank, I also got a lot of land. Li Shimin and Chai Shao rewarded [-] mu of land in Longyou, and this official and meritorious official Yongye farmland has another [-] mu. Li Shimin just returned Give him another [-] mu of land in Guanzhong. If you add the [-] mu of land in Bailuyuan, it will be a total of [-] mu, not counting the [-] mu of land for employment.

In a blink of an eye, he became a big landlord.

"Thanks."

"My brother, why are you being so polite?" Lu Huairang said with a smile, "Actually, I think what Cheng Dalang said is quite right. His Highness the Crown Prince should give you the princess's marriage. Chai Er is far worse than you. What can He De do?"

This guy actually wants to be Huaiyu's uncle!

"You know about my relationship with Aunt Fan, be careful that she hears your words and kills you with a saber." Huaiyu laughed.

"Oh, I just remembered that I still have one important thing to do. I'm leaving first. I'll see you off tomorrow morning." Lu Huairang looked up and saw Fan Xuanfu coming from behind, so he fled quickly. He was very fond of Fan Xuanfu. fear.
