She only wants to do infrastructure construction

Receive the edict?
This is a big deal!

The imperial decree is like the emperor's visit in person. Generally, the officials who receive the imperial decree have to burn incense, bathe and change into official uniforms and fancy clothes, and then lead the whole family to receive the decree together to show the majesty of the royal family. Even Xiao Jiuxi cannot avoid it.

So, Xiao Jiuxi could only go back to take a bath and change clothes honestly, and Li Yewu in the yard also had to take a bath and change clothes.

Then everyone reappeared and the hall was already glamorous.

Seeing that everyone was in a stately outfit, Eunuch Qian solemnly opened the brocade box containing the imperial decree, and asked for the imperial decree to be read out.

"Following the imperial decree of Chengyun, the king of Shang will reward 100 million taels of gold for his meritorious service in arresting the Taihe old party."

Hearing this, the eyes of Li Yewu and Xiao Jiuxi lit up at the same time.

100 million taels of gold is 100 times more than the expected [-] taels of gold.

One million taels equals ten million taels of silver.

It's time to spend money on the drastic construction of Taihe City, even though they copied Xu Jiamu's house, the expenditure is still high.

After all, the rice fields hadn't been harvested yet, they still had to buy food, and the farms and processing factories hadn't opened to the outside world yet. In addition, the people in the city were waiting for their wages, so their turnover was quite large.

The money sent by Emperor Wuhou can solve their urgent needs. Even if Taihe City has no revenue this year, they can transition with ease.

Eunuch Qian glanced at the two who were delighted to hear 100 million taels and couldn't help laughing. Then he announced the first bonus content. Compared with the following ones, what is this 100 million taels of gold worth?
So he raised the volume and continued.

"It is the great Chu's fortune to benefit the people of the king of cups, and the blessing of Taihe, who specially confers the king of Zhenhai to enjoy a first-rank prince's salary and a battalion of soldiers."

"!!!"

When this word came out, everyone was shocked.

Xiao Jiuxi even fell down on the ground. His father named him a first-rank prince and gave him military power?
Eunuch Qian nodded with a smile: "I know you must be very moved, my lord, but the imperial decree has not been announced yet, so please bear with me for a while and celebrate together later."

Xiao Jiuxi's eyes were dizzy, why did he return to the fiefdom?Isn't it just to stay away from imperial power and wealth?Now the father is still chasing him, giving him the title of Marquis and Prime Minister and giving him military power. If Brother Sanhuang finds out, he will be treated as a thorn in his side.

Xiao Jiuxi had a premonition that the happy life that he had managed to live would soon be shattered, and the future would definitely be precarious... Darkness... Darkness, oh heaven!

Eunuch Qian didn't know what Xiao Jiuxi was thinking, he just continued to read the imperial decree as he was knocked out by this shocking surprise.

"Ms. Wu is a virtuous and virtuous woman who manages the family well. She canonized as the side princess, rewarded with a farm, a hundred pieces of silk, and ten cups of pearls. I admire this."

"???"

This time the confused person became Li Yewu.

Is she still a princess?
Just give the money, what kind of side concubine, why are you so polite?

"Congratulations, my lord, congratulations to my concubine, please accept the order." Eunuch Qian looked at them kindly.

However, the two who were rewarded were all dumbfounded.

"My lord and my concubine will receive the order quickly."

The old housekeeper poked Xiao Jiuxi silently.

Xiao Jiuxi accepted the imperial decree with grievances.

In the end, he struggled and said: "The reward given by the emperor is really too expensive, can I just ask for the money, and get the rest back as life?"

"Where did the prince say, you must know that the imperial decree has gone through many inspections from the drafting to the promulgation, how can it be taken back as a decree in a child's play?

Furthermore, it is also because of your ability that the sage can give you such an honor.The vision of a sage can't be wrong, please give yourself more confidence, you have a bright future and you will be able to make a difference! "

"..." Xiao Jiuxi muttered silently with a smile uglier than crying.

"The so-called ability is not my ability. If you want to seal it, seal her."

"?" Eunuch Qian didn't hear Xiao Jiuxi's muttering clearly, and his face was full of embarrassment: "My lord, this old slave is already old, and his hearing is not very good. Your low voice is really a test of this old slave's ability."

"I mean..." Xiao Jiuxi was about to sell someone out.

Li Yewu quickly grabbed Xiao Jiuxi with his eyes and said, "My lord is saying that I would like to thank Eunuch Qian for his encouragement. He will definitely work hard. Eunuch has been exhausted from traveling and traveling. We have prepared a reception banquet for him. We also ask him to rest a bit. You pick up the wind and wash away the dust."

"Okay, okay, then I would like to thank the side concubine."

Eunuch Qian saluted Li Yewu with satisfaction and gratitude, and then left the living room under the leadership of the old housekeeper.

After Eunuch Qian's people had gone away, Xiao Jiuxi leaned on her: "What do you want?"

"What are you doing?" Li Yewu also looked back at him blankly.

"Let me tell you, I'm not interested in wearing a yellow robe, and don't even think about being a mother. Those are not places for people to stay. It's good enough to live an idle life here, you know?"

"..." Li Yewu couldn't help but roll his eyes: "You overestimate me too much. It's not easy to clean up Taihe City. You still expect me to go to the mother's world? It's a good idea."

"Then you stopped me just now?"

Xiao Jiuxi expressed his incomprehension. If he didn't accept the imperial decree just now, everything would be leeway, especially the first-rank prince and a battalion of soldiers.

Although it is said that there are only 6000 soldiers in a battalion, it will not be a big deal if they are used to fight, but all the princes distributed to the fiefs have no military power, and even private soldiers cannot exceed a hundred. From this point of view, the soldiers behind this battalion The meaning represented is very different.

Thinking that after the capital rescued his father, his father had been giving him some hints intentionally or unintentionally, Xiao Jiuxi couldn't bear it, so he hurried back.

Unexpectedly, an old party completely disrupted his plan to retire, and the emperor seized an opportunity to do something.

"Oh!" Xiao Jiuxi sighed deeply.

"What are you sighing for? The sky is falling and there are still high-level people holding it up. You people who eat melons should take a good stroll around you." Li Yewu said and waved to them, telling them to carry these boxes to the warehouse and put them away first. .

One million taels of gold is for Xiao Jiuxi, one hundred pieces of silk and even ten cups of pearls are for her, and there is also a farm.

Li Yewu glanced at the title deed. The 100-acre farm is in a good location, on the outskirts of the capital.

I didn't expect that I would unexpectedly earn a real estate property in the capital. This is really a surprise.

Xiao Jiuxi glanced enviously at the land deed in Li Yewu's hand. He also wanted it very much, but what his father gave him was military power and title. These things were worthless in his eyes.

But when it comes to this, Xiao Jiuxi looked at Li Yewu calmly and said: "Well... Originally, I applied to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make you a princess, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs has rules of the Ministry of Internal Affairs... It is not so easy to raise the status of a concubine, and it has to be done step by step.

When you give birth to a baby, I will invite you to seal again. It is relatively easy to change from side concubine to regular. "
