The peasant girl wants to turn the sky: the black-bellied husband, come to farm

Chapter 1197
"Then I will choose the lowest baron." Tong Sanlang gave his choice.

"Huh?" Yang Wenxiao raised his eyebrows, "Baron?"

"Baron." Tong Sanlang nodded and repeated.

"Why?" Yang Wenxiao asked.

"The greatest contribution of Mai and I is to discover the Flower of Hell and recover Jia Cheng. But this contribution is only for you and His Majesty to solve the problem, and it cannot cure this poison. So it is your kindness to get the Baron .”

Hearing this, Yang Wenxiao raised his lips and smiled lightly. He put the tea bowl in his hand on the table and sat up straight. "Shen Chenghao conspired against you that day, and you also made great contributions."

"Even if I don't make a move, you and Your Majesty will be safe." Tong Sanlang continued modestly.

"Speaking of which, Mai Mai and I would also like to thank you. The two of us have become enemies with Princess Bai Zhi. If you hadn't helped us, we would have suffered."

Hearing this, Yang Wenxiao couldn't help laughing, "You don't have to be modest, I will always remember the help you two have given to my Yang family."

"It's just that you are still young, and there will be a long time in the future. If I make you a duke now, but if you make more contributions in the future, then there is no way to make you a duke."

"The one you choose is the same as what I thought in my heart. Let's be the baron. The baron of Huai'an County. He will be rewarded with two thousand catties of grain, one thousand taels of silver, and one thousand mu of land."

"The land in Anping Village is scarce, so the thousand acres of land should be placed near the capital."

After hearing this, Qiao Maimai and Tong Sanlang hurriedly knelt down to thank the Holy Grace.

"Okay, don't be polite." Yang Wenxiao raised his hand to signal the two to get up, "By the way, you have already agreed with Yu Wuxia to go to Xiezi County, right?"

"Yes." Tong Sanlang replied.

"It's better not to go, there is only one month left before the three-month period, it would be bad if we are delayed on the way." Yang Wenxiao said.

Tong Saburo, "... yes."

"I see that you and your wife have been staying in the palace. How about we go to Anping Village together?" Yang Wenxiao asked.

He asked how, Tong Sanlang and Qiao Maimai could only agree.

So this was settled.

Yang Wenxiao immediately asked Gao Lian to prepare paper and pens, and he issued an imperial decree to make Tong Sanlang the Baron of Huai'an County, announcing it to the world.

Tong Sanlang received the imperial decree, thanked him again, and did not return to the apse with Qiao Maimai until almost noon.

Qiao Maimai was about to go to the kitchen to prepare lunch, the couple exchanged a few words with their eyes and tried their best to bear it.

It wasn't until the middle of the afternoon that the two of them had time to talk about this matter, Qiao Mai said angrily, "Sure enough, you guessed it right, Yang Wenxiao is really picky."

"That's right, the group of people who accompanied him to conquer the world back then were also crowned kings by the old prince Bai, and the others were all dukes or marquises."

"And since then, he has never been knighted again. It is my honor to be knighted again after 50 years."

Qiao Xiaomai couldn't help but rolled his eyes when he heard that, "It's an honor, little baron. He doesn't have any real power. He only gives two thousand catties of grain and 1000 taels of silver every year. What's that enough for?"

"It's better than nothing, and I can call myself a lord with the cheek in the future." Tong Sanlang guessed the result early on, and there is no gap at the moment, "Besides, this can be regarded as a goal to strive for. The fourth-class title of Uncle Duke, you can climb up one level at a time."
