Chapter 400: The Imperial Gift

The second watch, seeking pink...... When everyone heard this, they were all shocked. Even Shouxin thought that there was something to do with the construction of the house, and he didn't have time to wipe his hands, so he walked out.

Even Man'er was busy following behind.

"Little jar, what the hell is going on?" While rushing to the shop, Lian Man'er asked about the small jar.

"There were a lot of people here, and the fourth aunt told me that there was something big, so I asked me to come to the fourth uncle quickly." Xiao Tanzi said, "The fourth aunt didn't say anything, she just said that she wanted to be fast." So I came running. ”

There are a lot of people coming, what will happen?

The old house was not far from the shop, and even Man'er trotted all the way, and soon left the village. In the distance, I saw a number of horses parked in front of the shop, and a few people in official clothes standing in front of the shop. Many people in the village came out of their homes and stood in the 400th chapter of the imperial gift not far away, but they did not dare to step forward.

Zhang was also standing outside the shop, talking to a man in ochre, and when he saw Lian Shouxin and them, the man hurriedly waved hello.

It's the bell steward.

A few people walked briskly over.

"Steward Zhong brought a number of county officials." Zhang greeted him and told Lian Shouxin, "I just came, and I brought a lot of things." ”

Even Shouxin hurriedly stepped forward to greet the bell steward and the officers.

“…… Hurry up, the adults who will announce the decree will arrive in a while, where to receive the decree, in this shop, it will not be successful. Steward Zhong returned the salute to Lian Shouxin and said.

Announcing the decree, Lian Man'er's eyes lit up when she heard these two words. She guessed what was going to happen. It must be Shen Liu who played the matter of corn to the court, and the emperor has a will, and he wants to come here to announce the decree, and he must reward them.

"Back. It's my family's newly built house. Lian Man'er hurriedly stepped forward and said, "It's just not completely covered yet." But the antechamber is usable. ”

Steward Zhong walked to the side and looked in the direction pointed by Lian Man'er. Even the newly built courtyard of Man'er's house, the outer courtyard is very spacious, which is to prepare when the threshing floor next to it is not enough, it can also be used as a threshing floor to dry the 400th chapter of the valley Imperial gifts, playing field, raising field, etc.

"The house is cleaned up, and the decree does not need to be entered into the house. It's good out there. The meaning of the sixth master, the grace of the long live master, can also be heard by the big guys. Steward Zhong said. Listening to the meaning of his words, all the people around him can come and listen to the reading of the holy decree.

It's going to work. Lian Man'er had already gone back to the house and sealed a few bulging red envelopes with Zhang's and Lian Zhi'er. The red envelope was taken out, handed to Lian Shouxin, and distributed to the bell steward and the officers.

None of these servants had any empty hands, some of them were holding red carpets, and some were holding incense tables, incense burners, and other things.

“…… The sixth master and the messenger who issued the decree are all behind, and they will arrive in a while. The sixth master thought it through, and knew that you guys were here, but I was afraid that there were no such things. Therefore. He sent me to come first and prepare everything that was needed. Steward Zhong said.

Shen Liu instructed him to come in advance, and the things that should be needed were all requisitioned from the county government, and these errands were also brought over to help arrange them.

Lian Shouxin distributed red envelopes to the officers. thanked him again and again, and then asked Steward Zhong if he could reveal the content of the holy decree.

“…… I came first, and I didn't know. Even the fourth master, don't ask more, isn't this an obvious thing, it's a good thing to take care of it, a great good thing. Steward Zhong said with a smile.

According to Steward Zhong, the person who came down with the holy decree was the minister from the capital. The minister first came to Fucheng and read a decree at the Shen family, and then came to the camp for thirty miles and read the holy decree to Lian Man'er's family.

After a few simple words, even the family, the bell steward and a few errand servants got busy.

First, the courtyard gate was opened, the entire courtyard was cleaned again, and then the red carpet, incense table, and incense burner began to be laid.

During this period, Wang Juren, Li Zheng, the abbot of the temple, the monks, all the village elders, and the old and young people at home in the village almost all came.

Wang Youheng, Wu Yugui, Wu Jiaxing father and son, Lao Jin with several sons, Lao Huang and others, also rushed over after hearing the news. Wang Juren brought the family and servants, Wang Youheng, Wu family father and son even helped clean up the close family members, and there were Li Zheng, village elders and other people in charge of organizing the people in the village to come to see the excitement, to go back to change into clean new clothes, and then come back, not to fight at will, to line up a good line, to welcome the Qincha, and listen to the holy decree.

This is the biggest event in the history of the Thirty-Mile Camp. Although this upcoming decree was announced to Lian Man'er's family, the entire village was honored.

When this side was busy and everything was ready, I heard the sound of gongs and opening the road on the official road, and a team of sedan chairs came towards the thirty-mile camp, and the magistrate of Jinyang County was at the front to guide him, and there were soldiers led by Zhang Qianhu behind him.

In the middle of the procession, there was a luxurious carriage. It was followed by the carriage of the Shen family, and then the carriage and sedan chair of the prefect of Liaodong Mansion and other officials.

When they walked in front of the red carpet, the carriages stopped. From the luxurious carriage in the middle, a middle-aged civil official with a white face and a slight beard came down, wearing a peacock patch suit. The civil official got out of the carriage and hurriedly saluted Shen Liu, who got off the carriage behind.

Shen Liu hurriedly returned the salute.

Today's Shen Liu is wearing a beam crown, with foundation boots under his feet, wearing a royal blue python robe, two lion patches on the front chest and back, gold silk embroidered threads, lifelike, and all the officials of Liaodong Mansion behind him are also wearing trap court clothes.

All the officials gathered around Na Qincha and Shen Liu and walked on the red felt, and they all stood in front of the incense case. Standing at the front was Shen Liu, and the officials in the back were arranged according to their grades.

After that, it was Lian Shouxin who led the Zhang family, Lian Man'er, Lian Zhi'er, Wulang and Xiaoqi.

Then, it was Wang Juren, Wang Youheng, Li Zheng, the abbot, Lian Shouli's family of three, as well as the Wu family's father and son who were good friends with Lian Man'er's family.

Finally, it's up to all the people in the village.

The Qincha who wore the peacock supplement walked to the front, and someone sang "Kneel", including Shen Liu, everyone knelt down one after another, listening to the Qincha read the will.

The holy decree was four and six, and even Man'er could only hear a rough idea, but she understood the most important part.

“…… Lian Shouxin...... Thanks to the community...... Give 100 taels of gold, exempt Ding and tax for 10 years, give another archway, and order the Liaodong Mansion to supervise the construction of ......"

"Man'er, what does the holy decree say?" Zhang was next to Lian Man'er, she was anxious, and asked Lian Man'er in a low voice.

“…… The emperor's family rewarded us with one hundred taels of gold, and our family will not have to serve labor for the next ten years, and we will not have to pay any taxes. also asked Liaodong Mansion to build an archway for us. Even Man'er told Zhang in a low voice.

"Oops." Zhang Shi was overjoyed, grabbed Lian Man'er's hand, and was speechless.

A hundred taels of gold is equivalent to a thousand taels of silver. This amount of money, even to buy her family's corn seeds, is more than enough. In addition, she does not have to serve labor and pay taxes for another ten years, which can also save her family a lot of money, and the key is to save worry. And the last archway of the royal gift is a monument to her family's merits.

With the archway of the royal gift, she will become a transcendent existence even at home. Even if you don't talk about the third level of the official university, the effect is almost the same.

Even Man'er was so happy in her heart that she didn't even hear the officials in front of her scream, but Zhang pulled her up.

At this time, Lian Man'er would never have thought that in the future, after the archway of the royal gift was built, their family, in the mouths of everyone near and far, would become the royal archway Lianjia. And many years later, the Imperial Archway Lianjia was simplified into the archway Lianjia in the mouths of everyone, and at that time, the Lianjia had become one of the most famous families in Liaodong Mansion.

After the reading of the holy decree, Shen Liu asked the prefect of Liaodong Mansion to accompany the Qin Cha who announced the decree to go back first, and then Wang Juren and Li Zheng also dispersed with all the villagers.

Shen Liu didn't leave in a hurry, but was invited into the main hall of the new house by Lian Shouxin, and Lian Man'er hurriedly brewed hot tea and sent it over.

Steward Zhong took the officials of the Liaodong Prefecture to manage the project, took the drawings of the archway, and was surveying around outside, choosing the location to build the archway.

The hundred taels of gold given by the emperor were covered with bright red silk and piled up on the main hall.

"Why don't you open it and take a look." Shen Liu took the hot tea sent by Lian Man'er, only took a sip of it, looked around, and landed on the royal gold.

Lian Man'er was eager for him to say this, so he hurriedly walked over, grabbed a corner of the silk cloth with Gorou, and uncovered the red silk. Under the silk cloth, the gold ingots of large ingots were neatly stacked, and the golden light was really warm, dazzling, and beautiful.

If it weren't for the fact that Shen Liu was still there, Lian Man'er would have wanted to pounce on the pile of gold and roll.

Xu is expression was too obvious, and Shen Liu actually burst out laughing.

Lian Man'er hurriedly touched her face.

"Are you satisfied?" Shen Liu quickly straightened his face, as if the person who was laughing just now was not him at all.

"Thank you, Sixth Master." Lian Man'er smiled and gave Shen Liufu a blessing.

"Long live the reward, what are you thanking me for?" Shen Liu's gaze slipped on Lian Man'er's face and asked deliberately.

“…… Of course, I am also grateful to Long Live Lord. …… However, if there is no kind words from the sixth master, we will not be rewarded by the long live master. Lian Man'er said.

If the emperor can give such a heavy reward, it must be that Shen Liu has made a lot of credit to the Lian family in the performance.

"You deserve it." Shen Liu said, "These hundred taels of gold are not given to you for free. It was Hooray who bought the corn. ”

"Oh, got it." Lian Man'er nodded, indicating that she understood, and Shen Liu would not pay any more for the more than 10,000 catties of corn. However, with these 100 taels of gold, it is enough.

In addition to money, exemption from Ding and taxes is also affordable, and the most precious thing is the archway given by the emperor.

"Sixth master, even if you don't have this hundred taels of gold, even if you don't exempt Ding and taxes, if you have that archway, it's worth it." Lian Man'er said, "Sixth Master, don't you need silver money to promote corn, if you don't get the silver money, this gold will be used by the sixth master...... Send two more, ask for pink.

Tomorrow...... I hope that "Reborn Little Landlord" can continue to accompany everyone, not much to say, everyone understands. (To be continued)RQ!!
