Life is sometimes so dramatic, a few hours ago I was still a grass people, and in the blink of an eye, I was promoted to three levels in a row, baron, viscount, past the earl and directly marquis, and by the way, I also got two orders for my mother and wife, and the champion is not so cool! What's more, there is also the reward of '110,000 gold', what is called flat land with a thunder and a sharp and rich place, Li Mu finally has a tangible experience.

When Xie En returned home, Li Mu was still a little fluttering, and when he told Bai Qiaoqiao about the matter, Bai Qiaoqiao was also very happy. Although Bai Qiaoqiao didn't know what an edict was, it sounded very powerful, and in her understanding, she understood this edict as an official made by a woman, and she didn't think much about it.

During the evening banquet, Li Mu saw more family members of the Li family, and everyone raised their glasses and said goodbye, all of which were congratulatory words. Li Mu drank so much that he forgot to ask what the marquis's reward was, and after the banquet was over, he went back to his room and slept under Bai Qiaoqiao's service.

On the second day, when Gonggong Gao came to the door again to announce the decree, he was dumbfounded.

"Li Mu, a citizen of Mayi County, risked his death to report the news, reversed the tide of the war, benefited the whole country, made no merit, sealed the founding county man, rewarded 10,000 gold, and gave 20 hectares of fertile land, Qinzai."

"Li Mu, the man of the founding county, has meritorious service in defending the city, sympathizes with the people, kills the national thief, specially enters the founding county, rewards 100,000 gold, gives 50 hectares of fertile land, and gives his mother seven orders, Qinzai."

"Li Mu, the son of the founding county, is wise and loyal, finds the jade seal, the merit is in the thousand years, and the benefit is in the community, and he is specially given the title of 'Zhulu County Marquis', and his wife is given the five-grade fate, and the title of 'Mrs. Lu County', Qinzai."

"Zhulu Hou, take the order to thank you, right?"

"Ahh Thank you for your majesty's long'en, thank you for your emperor's long'en! Li Mu responded a little stunned, and handed over a silver ingot from his sleeve without a trace, which was ten taels. Gao Gonggong only felt that the cuffs sank, and he knew it in his heart, nodded with a smile, and returned to the palace.

The reason why Li Mu is in this state is really because the gap between reality and his imagination is a bit too big. He had already inquired with Li Siwen that each rank corresponds to the same official position and the corresponding land reward. But he didn't understand why he came here, his official position was gone, and his land rewards were gone. The barons and viscounts have been rewarded with their lands, but where are the marquis's rewards? Could it be that Li Shimin forgot? That's a hundred acres of fertile land, a thousand acres of land!

Let's talk about this '10,000 gold' and '100,000 gold'...... Li Mu looked at the two trays in front of him, a little crying and laughing. One tray has the same money in it, and the other tray is a little bigger, and there are ten pieces of money. Where's the 'gold' that you say? Originally, in his imagination, it should have been a cart of big gold cakes, but now it has become such a few strings of copper coins, and the gap is a little bigger. This Li Shimin is too picky, such a big emperor, is there a mess of these two jujubes? I'll use you to give me all the money, and I'll refine two carts of iron ore at will!

It was Li Bi who appeared in time to solve his doubts. It turns out that the "gold" mentioned in this reward refers to the "text", and the "gold" is just for the sake of sounding. And to reward gold and silver, they will say, 'how many taels of silver', 'how many taels of gold', this kind of reward is very rare, usually only the reward of the prince will reward gold and silver, and the rest of the titles are given 'gold', that is, copper money, this aspect is not who is greedy for him.

However, Li Bi couldn't explain why his marquis's reward had shrunk. But what he can guarantee is that no one will dare to pump water in the emperor's bounty. Li Mu was unwilling, so he stuffed the money and title deed into Bai Qiaoqiao's arms, and went to find Li Ji. After he came back yesterday, Li Ji still stayed in the palace for a long time, and maybe he would know about this reward.

found Li Ji in the study, and said the doubts in his heart, Li Ji immediately laughed and said, "Your Majesty's move is fair." Li Mu, it is a fluke to find the merit of recovering the jade seal of the country, and it is not enough to seal the marquis, you can be the marquis, but the emperor has sent a message to the Quartet in the past, His Majesty respects the emperor, so that the emperor is in charge, and rewards you for chasing the marquis, otherwise do you think the marquis is so good? How many soldiers have expanded their territory, died nine times for a lifetime, and they only returned to be a viscount and baron, and your previous merits, Your Majesty has already been rewarded. That is, the Emperor Taishang's golden mouth, Your Majesty is not good to disobey, otherwise, you won't be able to get the extra five orders! ”

Dare to love is an empty shell marquis! The ups and downs of life are really exciting, and the excitement is a little dizzy!

Li Ji said again: "You don't have to be disappointed, in my opinion, it's not a good thing to reward too much." If Your Majesty is willing to listen to my advice in this matter and chase the name of Luhou, I will not agree with you to accept it. Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, you are a marquis at this age, and there has never been a few generations, how many noble sons have been trampled under your feet, what do you think they will think? If you really make a marquis with real merit, no one can say anything, but the matter of recovering the jade seal of the country is a fluke, and it will definitely make people unconvinced, and it will not be a good thing for your future future. ”

"As for your conferment, of course there is. According to the title, the county marquis is from the third grade, and from the official position of the third grade, you obviously can't afford it. Your title at this time does not match your actual merits, and it is difficult for Your Majesty to choose for a while, so you are not rewarded together. Yesterday I have already admonished, please Your Majesty according to your actual merits to confer officials, it is estimated that after the return of the army of the Duke of Weiguo, there will be a will, the specific officials will be awarded, it is not yet known, just wait for it. ”

Only then did Li Mu understand the key point, and hurriedly thanked Li Ji for his heart of fist protection. Li Jihan nodded with a smile and asked again: "I have heard about your mother, after lunch, I will arrange a carriage and prepare a few gifts, you go and take your mother over." There is also the matter of the wine shop, since the emperor has already spoken, he can't delay. I have instructed your second uncle on this matter, and if you need anything, just discuss it with him. The use of money is to say that your family is not too restrained. ”

Li Mu nodded yes and said goodbye from Li Ji's study. returned to his cross-courtyard and told Bai Qiaoqiao about the matter, Bai Qiaoqiao also comforted him, and said: "Lang Jun, let's be content, we were still ordinary people yesterday, and today we are already knighted." And having received so much land reward, what is there that is not satisfied? The general is right, as much merit as he makes, he will be rewarded as much as he wants, and it is not right to be lucky, he will be gossiped about, and his heart is not steady. Have you forgotten your original intention of coming to Chang'an? We didn't come here to be officials, so we should build the winery as soon as possible and do a good job! ”

"Hmm!" Li Mu nodded heavily, and Qiaoqiao's words woke him up, almost forgetting his original intention because he was concerned about the reward. The water in officialdom is too deep, and he asks himself if he is an opponent, if he can't get it right, he doesn't know how to die, or low-key development, making money quietly, is the right way!
