Xijing City, the capital of Xihao Kingdom, where the imperial palace is located, the atmosphere in the emperor's imperial study at this time is very delicate.

In the study, there were several important ministers of the court and His Majesty the Emperor, who passed a few pieces of paper in their hands, and those who read it were silent with strange expressions.

In the end, it was the emperor who opened his mouth first and chuckled: "This little ghost, how long has it been, and he has been making things out so quickly, it won't be for that title, right?" ”

"The old minister thought it was very likely." Prime Minister Qin Bin speculated, but he saw Liu Feiyun very much, and a smile appeared on his wrinkled face: "Your Majesty, it is a blessing for the country to have such a young talent, and this drawing, if it is really as mentioned above, should not be stingy." ”

"Your Majesty, what the prime minister said is very true, if this effect is really there, the combat power of our Xihao country will definitely increase greatly." General Chen Bingshu also asked for credit.

"Then reward it, but verify the authenticity of this method before rewarding, don't be taken advantage of by this kid at that time."

Meritorious service will be rewarded, and there will be punishment, this is the magic weapon of the monarchs and ministers of Xihao country, so that everyone understands that as long as you contribute, the country will not treat you badly, but if you damage the country, it will definitely not let you go.

However, Zhang Li and Liu Feiyun presented a new method of iron smelting, since they dared to present it, it was definitely not a big problem.

The emperor gave an order, and the state apparatus was in operation, but after a few hours, the effect should be roughly verifiable, and it was as error-free as the letter said.

"Good, good, very good." Emperor Zhu Hongtian said three good words in a row, which shows his mood at the moment.

The same is true of Prime Minister Qin Bin and General Chen Bingshu, who were called to appear in the imperial study again, and the plough in front of them has increased the national strength, which is an invisible promotion. However, the improvement of the iron-smelting method will make the soldiers of Xihao Kingdom sharper and directly improve the combat effectiveness of Xihao Kingdom.

"This is a great achievement, Prime Minister, it seems that it is not possible to give him a knighthood, so let's make a baron first, so as not to raise it too high and reward it in the future." Zhu Hongtian's words were extremely positive for Liu Feiyun.

"Your Majesty." Neither the prime minister nor the general had any objections.

"Then the prime minister will help draw up the decree and give him a man from Bailu County and 300 households."

"Whoa."

These are not all rewards, the emperor has set the title, and there will naturally be some silk and silk and gold and silver rewards later.

"Oh, yes." Zhu Hongtian thought of something again, and said: "The county order of Bailu County is called Zhang Li, this time it is meritorious again, there is no need to wait for next year's assessment, and it will be promoted as appropriate within this year." ”

"The ministers will arrange it properly, please rest assured."

The matter of the reward was decided, and the monarch and ministers began to discuss military affairs, this time because Liu Feiyun made the country's strength improve again, and the previous strategy could be slightly changed to speed up some future steps.

Liu Feiyun was not very clear about the above reward, and at this time he was still thinking about what he could take out in exchange for merit. His head was almost dizzy, but he found that many of the techniques in his valley were not easy to come up with.

Cement, for example, is a building artifact; Another example is some alcohol, which makes him hesitate because it involves distillation technology, and at worst, there is no secret to distilled spirits, if he is dedicated to the emperor.

It's a huge benefit, and he can't afford to let it go.

"And what else?" He has been thinking about this all the time before the reward comes down, and he is a little obsessed with the title.

His current situation is very strange, he used to have a high status in his previous life, and everything he has done since he came to this world is for himself to live well. However, when he met his wife, his thoughts seemed to have changed, is this the so-called power of love?

Actually, maybe it's for compensation, right?

"Hybrid seeds? This doesn't work, and neither can potatoes and corn, improved waterwheels? That's fine, but it doesn't seem to be worth much merit. ”

"I don't know how far the valley has developed now, I gave them a boost, what will it look like now?" Thinking about it, Liu Feiyun thought of the valley, he hadn't been back for a long time, and suddenly he missed his life there.

And Xiaoyu, I don't know if she has grown taller again, she comes occasionally, but she doesn't stay for a long time, she is the same as Liu Shuhan, she prefers life on the other side of the valley, but more for those fun and novel toys.

"Let's find a time to go back, but do you want to bring Yuxue with you?" It was a matter of careful consideration, and he didn't want to let the valley get into trouble because of himself, even if not at all. If he could, he would rather live outside with his wife alone.

Another day passed, after the spring ploughing, there was not much busy, more just some trivial matters, such as which village had a fight, which village was stolen, these can be handled by the following officials, and they only need to look at it when they are there.

Today is a rare day off. As an official, I get up early with the chickens every day, and I usually don't have the opportunity to sleep lazy.

Liu Feiyun was about to sleep until three o'clock in the morning, but the door was suddenly opened, and his wife Lin Yuxue hurriedly ran in and shook her awake: "Brother Yun, Brother Yun, get up quickly, the holy decree has arrived, hurry up." ”

"Divine decree? What kind of decree? He hadn't woken up yet, and his mind was still a little foggy.

Lin Yuxue hurriedly explained: "His Majesty the Emperor's holy decree, hurry up and receive the decree, my father-in-law is already waiting outside." ”

The face must have been washed too late, and the holy decree should not be neglected, and at this time, Lin Yuxue had already taken his clothes and served them after he got up.

"Lord Liu, take the order." is still the father-in-law who announced the decree last time, Liu Feiyun has a little impression of him, and he smiled and spoke in a kind tone, but he did not blame Liu Feiyun for coming slowly.

"The minister takes the order." As Liu Feiyun knelt down, everyone else knelt down.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, Bailu County Liu Feiyun in front of the new plough method, now presents a new iron-smelting technique, outstanding merit, sealed Bailu County man, food 300 households, give 20 silk satin, gold 500 taels, hope not to be arrogant, not discouraged, and add new achievements. Chin this! ”

After reading it out, he said fairly: "Lord Liu, no, you should change your name to Lord Liu, Lord Liu, take the order." ”

"Thank you, Lord Long." Liu Feiyun took the holy decree with both hands, and then glanced at his wife.

The gold content of this holy decree is very high, and the eunuch who announced the decree naturally cannot be neglected, Lin Yuxue obviously understood, and quietly retreated to the hall after seeing Liu Feiyun's eyes, and when he reappeared, he was followed by Xiao Lu, holding a tray in his hand, covered with red silk.

"My father-in-law has worked hard all the way, a little tea, I hope my father-in-law will not refuse."

Liu Feiyun's reward, even through the silk, the battle-hardened eunuch can know how much gold and silver is hidden underneath. How could he refuse, he glanced at a little eunuch beside him, who immediately stepped forward to take the tray from Xiao Lu's hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, the Prime Minister and General Cheng and others attach great importance to the lord, and the younger ones will have to be supported by the lord in the future."

"My father-in-law laughed and supported each other, and outside the imperial city, many things still need to be taken care of by my father-in-law."

Liu Feiyun heard the eunuch's point clearly. After flattering each other, he refused Liu Feiyun's retention: "There is still a small reply in the palace, it is inconvenient to stay longer, please stay, sir." ”

Sending them away with a smile, at this time, Lin Yuxue couldn't help the excitement in her heart, and hugged him directly and said, "Brother Yun, you are knighted, Xiaoxue is so happy, she can marry such a good man as you." ”

"Hehe, this is the beginning, don't worry, you will never add the wrong person." Liu Feiyun scratched her Qiong's nose, and then reminded: "There are so many people, don't be shy." ”

At this time, Lin Yuxue found that not only her maid Xiaolu, but also other people in the house were looking at her. Her face turned red all of a sudden, after all, she was still shy and traditional, and she snorted arrogantly: "Ignore you and make fun of others." After saying that, he ran away with Xiao Lu.

Liu Feiyun likes his cute appearance very much, he can finally give his wife a satisfactory explanation, the title is really not difficult at all, Liu Feiyun thought with a smile.

Liu Feiyun, the owner of Sanliuzhuang, was knighted, how could such a major event not celebrate. This time is not worse than the scene when Liu Feiyun got married, there are lights everywhere, drinks are flowing, and this time there are countless rewards.

Such a good thing, naturally, will not fail to inform Liu Shuhan and Dong Fang in the valley, they took Li Yu to get together again, Liu Shuhan patted Liu Feiyun on the shoulder and said: "I never thought that it would only be so long that your kid would become a lord in a blink of an eye." ”

"Luck, luck, Brother Liu, Brother Dong, it's rare to come here, our brothers have a good get-together, don't get drunk and don't return." Liu Feiyun was very happy.

"Naturally, hehe, you kid don't want to walk out tonight." Dong Fang also laughed on the side.

At this time, Liu Feiyun naturally found Li Yu who was standing there waiting for her big eyes, and directly picked her up: "Xiaoyu does you miss your brother?" ”

"I think, why doesn't my brother come to see Xiaoyu, don't you want Xiaoyu?" Li Yu's tone was a little aggrieved, although she came back here occasionally, but she couldn't see her brother whenever she wanted, as before.

"Why, how could you not want to." Liu Feiyun kissed her little cheek: "This time, come to stay here for a few more days, and let your sister-in-law accompany you." ”

"Well, my brother wants to buy me something delicious."

"Yes, brother, there is also a shopping mall here with many delicacies like the valley, and my brother will take you to eat enough when the time comes."

"Well, my brother is the best." Li Yu pecked Liu Feiyun on the face, it was cold, and his face was full of smiles.

How could Liu Feiyun's celebration be missing the people of the Lin family, especially Lin Yuxue's parents, and soon someone reported that they were here.

When Lin Ou arrived, he patted him on the shoulder as soon as he arrived, and his face was full of relief: "Yes, virtuous son-in-law, it is really a good son-in-law of my Lin family, Xiaoxue did not marry the wrong person." ”

"Father-in-law is wonderful, this is just what a son-in-law should do." Liu Feiyun said humbly.

"You, not to mention my Liuzhou City, even how many people in the entire Xihao Kingdom have obtained knighthoods, let alone your age, there are even fewer of them, and you rely on your true skills." Lin Ou educated: "Now that you are a lord, you must pay attention to your identity, and sometimes your words are sharper." ”

"My son-in-law understands, but no matter what, I'm Xiaoxue's husband and your son-in-law."

"Okay, very good, let's take a seat, everyone is waiting for you, today you are the protagonist, reflect your bearing."

The more Lin Ou looked at Liu Feiyun, the more pleasing it became.
