At the beginning of May, Fang Nan officially moved into the palace of Wuchang New Town, and the founding of the country was accelerated.

Most of the governors of the People's Army moved from Guangzhou City to Wuchang City, and many large families in Guangzhou City also moved to Wuchang City, and they had already bought mansions and courtyards in Wuchang City in advance.

Living in front of the "Imperial City", no matter what changes there are in the People's Army, they will be the first to know, and once any decree issued by the People's Army Government has a huge impact on their industry, they will also be able to make changes to their industry as soon as possible.

The People's Army has ruled the entire land of China, and the three merchants who can rank among the top ten in wealth under the rule of the People's Army, Jiang Ci, Xia Jingshan, and Liang Xin, have also moved to Wuchang City.

Xia Jingshan was the last of the three to move to Wuchang City, and within a few days of his arrival in Wuchang City, two officials of the People's Army Government came to Xia Jingshan and sent him an invitation letter and a notice.

The two officials who came to the door were relatively young, and the officials of the People's Army Government were relatively young, but the top leaders of the People's Army were basically about 30 years old, and they were already middle-aged, and young meant that they were about 20 years old, and it was expected that their positions in the People's Army Government would not be too high.

However, regardless of the position of the People's Army Government officials who came to the door, Xia Jingshan immediately came out to meet him, and it would definitely not be a trivial matter for the People's Army Government officials to come to the door.

Xia Jingshan guessed correctly, the visit of two people's army government officials was indeed not a trivial matter, and it was a very big matter for Xia Jingshan.

"Mr. Xia, the central government of the People's Army invites you to participate in the founding ceremony on the first day of the eighth month of the solar calendar and the seventh day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar." As he spoke, the official handed Xia Jingshan an invitation letter with a red gold-trimmed skin.

Hearing the official's words, Xia Jingshan's face was full of excitement, and he accepted the invitation with trembling hands, to participate in the founding ceremony, but no one can go, but he Xia Jingshan got this opportunity.

Before it was finished, another young official took out a notice, but instead of handing it to Xia Jingshan, he said first: "Mr. Xia, because you are kind and generous, the Metropolitan Governor wants to give you the title of Renjue, I wonder if you are willing to accept it?" ”

"What is Renjue?" Xia Jingshan had a question in his heart, but since it was given by the Governor of the People's Army, he didn't have to say it, he had to accept it, Xia Jingshan immediately replied affirmatively: "Accept, I am willing to accept it." ”

Seeing that Xia Jingshan was willing to accept it, the official handed the notice to Xia Jingshan, and the notice was written to inform Xia Jingshan to accept the knighthood at the Wuchang City Palace on the first day of the eighth month of the solar calendar.

The knighthood is carried out after the founding ceremony, and the knighthood is also a meritorious person, and a military parade will be held after the knighthood.

The official knew that Xia Jingshan would have a lot of doubts, so he continued to explain the matter of the knighthood to Xia Jingshan.

The People's Army is about to be founded, the country name is "Xia", the metropolitan governor is called the emperor, and the meritorious ministers are given the title of nobles, and the titles are divided into six ranks, dukes, marquises, earls, viscounts, barons, and benevolent lords, and they are divided into three classes, hereditary replacement, decreasing hereditary, and lifelong.

"Mr. Xia, Renjue only has a lifelong system, and it cannot be passed on to his sons and grandsons, but your sons and grandsons can also obtain the title of Renjue in various ways, and if you can be made a baron, you can also get a salary every year."

In the end, the official asked Xia Jingshan to pay attention to his words and deeds to become a nobleman of Xia Kingdom, if he violated the "Code of Conduct for Nobles", the light one was only a warning, the heavy one was fined, and the serious one would be withdrawn.

After saying everything that was needed, the two officials did not accept Xia Jingshan's retention, and were personally sent out of the mansion by Xia Jingshan.

Seeing off the two People's Army government officials, Xia Jingshan's face finally couldn't hold back, participating in the founding ceremony made Xia Jingshan happy, and being given the title of Renjue made Xia Jingshan want to jump up excitedly, but there was the founding ceremony first, Xia Jingshan was also excited when he knew that he was given the title of Renjue, but his expression was able to collect some.

The aristocracy, even if it is only the lowest-level Renjue, who does not even have a Renjue, but only a lifelong Renjue, is enough to make Xia Jingshan extremely excited.

Xia Jingshan really wants to kill the villain who pressed the "rich and rival country" to the Xia Chamber of Commerce, it is not good to have this name, in the previous dynasties, no businessman who was rich or rival would have a good end, although the People's Army acted in accordance with the rules, Xia Jingshan was also worried that the People's Army would raid the Xia family according to a crime.

In this case, Xia Jingshan had no choice but to take out a large amount of equal coins every year to repair roads and bridges to do good deeds, so that the Xia family could gain a good reputation, and hoped that the People's Army would not attack the Xia family because of the Xia family's good reputation.

Unexpectedly, the People's Army actually gave him the title of Xia Jingshan Renjue because of the Xia family's "benevolence", and the lowest aristocratic title is also a noble, even if the nobles do not have any privileges, the Xia Chamber of Commerce can also do business with confidence and boldness.

The title of Renjue is equivalent to another meaning of the "gold medal for avoiding death", not that the Xia Chamber of Commerce can do anything, and then there is a chance to avoid death, but that the Xia Chamber of Commerce does business under the laws and regulations of the People's Army, as long as it does not violate the rules, the People's Army will not attack the Xia Chamber of Commerce.

"It would be nice to get a higher knighthood." Thinking about what the official said about the five titles of duke, marquis, uncle, and boy in front of Renjue, Xia Jingshan was very envious.

The prince and the boy have a lot of money every year, Xia Jingshan can see that the Renjue who does not have a lot of money seems to be a little redundant, and it seems that it is specifically for a big businessman like him to set up a title, Jiang Ci and Liang Xin both take out a lot of equal coins to do good deeds, will they also be given the title of Renjue.

No matter how bad the title of Renjue is, it will also be welcomed by the merchants, hoping that they will have an additional Renjue name, if they know that the businessman can obtain the title of Renjue by doing good deeds, other merchants will definitely take out more equal coins to do good deeds and ask for a Renjue title.

"The People's Army is really not simple, and the people are really happy." Xia Jingshan sighed with emotion, he could already imagine the next scene, the businessmen took out more equality coins to do good deeds, and the direct benefit was the people at the bottom, the people's army, the people's army, worthy of the people's army, even if they have unified the land of China, they have not forgotten the people at the bottom.

Xia Jingshan also thought about whether the People's Army would just play a slogan to divide the land for the people to let the people support them, and when the Ming Court is destroyed, the People's Army will become the new Ming Court, and today, Xia Jingshan can basically be determined, the People's Army is really different, and the People's Army really wants to let the people live a good life.

After receiving the invitation letter for the founding ceremony and the knighthood notice, Xia Jingshan was happy, and immediately called the housekeeper to increase the salary of one month as a bonus to everyone in Xia Mansion and Xia's Chamber of Commerce.
