"These are the things that the owner of this field has made, and this land changed owners last autumn and did not appear in our village until the year later.

At first we didn't know what was going on, but when this thing called the waterwheel was built, we realized that it was used to irrigate the fields, and with this thing, we no longer had to be afraid of drought. ”

The old man said with a smile on his face from time to time.

"Talent! A blessing to the country, a blessing to the people. Huang Mingyi couldn't help but praise movingly.

Yang Dewen didn't know that the three large waterwheels had already attracted the Kangde County Order to come to Minghe Village to inspect in person.

At this time, Yang Dewen was still living leisurely in Mingzhou City, and Yurong sent a few letters back after leaving Mingzhou and entering Beijing a few years ago.

In addition to saying that everything is fine, the letter did not mention when he would return to Mingzhou.

only said that his father was very busy with state affairs, and roughly talked about the fact that he was stolen from the palace back then.

When Yang Dewen was about to go to Minghe Village with Uncle Zhong, a team of people came to the leisurely center, and the person at the head shouted loudly: "Holy decree, Yang Dewen takes the decree." ”

When Yang Dewen heard this, he thought to himself, does it have a result?

Yang Dewen had no experience in welcoming the holy decree, and finally under the command of the chief eunuch of the decree, he put on a posture to welcome the holy decree, and all the people who lived leisurely knelt down and listened to the eunuch read the decree.

The eunuch opened the decree and read it with a sharp voice peculiar to eunuchs.

In front of the holy decree, there are a lot of awkward words in subtext, can others understand them? Yang Dewen didn't know, anyway, Yang Dewen felt that he heard it like a cloud and mountain fog cover, and it was not an exaggeration to compare it to a book from heaven.

However, the specific content of the latter can still be heard in general terms.

The gist of it is to praise another Yang Dewen's parents, who saved the princess's life by coincidence, raised the princess from a young age, and gave the princess the grace of rebirth.

Then it is to posthumously seal another Yang Dewen's father, who is a man from Kant County, and whose mother is Mrs. Kangde, with a bounty of 10,000 gold.

"Young Master Yang, the holy decree has been read, why don't you hurry up and thank you for receiving the decree, what are you doing in a daze?" The old eunuch of the rice paper said with a smile.

"This father-in-law, is this even finished? There should still be one, right? Yang Dewen couldn't help but ask.

"No, the miscellaneous family has already finished reading the holy decree, if Yang Gongzi still doesn't understand anything, let's thank you first and get up and talk about it." The eunuch still said with a smile.

Yang Dewen had no other way, so he had to follow the words of the eunuch Xuanzhi, took the holy decree in the hands of the eunuch Xuanzhi with both hands, and got up in thanks.

"Father-in-law's surname?" Yang Dewen handed over the holy decree in his hand to Du Qiniang's hand, pulled the eunuch to the side, stuffed a silver ingot into his hand, and asked in the old eunuch's hand.

"Young Master Yang is too polite, just call the miscellaneous family Father-in-law Liu." This Liu Gonggong held the silver tael in his hand, and Yang Dewen handed it to him, and said with a smile on his face.

Gonggong Liu checked the silver in his hand, and he was quite experienced, so he immediately guessed that this was a silver ingot weighing ten taels.

I saw him turn his head to look at it, and quietly accepted the ingot of silver with a smile.

"When Father-in-law Liu came, I don't know if the princess ever knew, but there was a letter for Father-in-law to bring it." Yang Dewen saw that the dead eunuch had already accepted his silver, so he asked straight to the point.

"Yang Gongzi is talking about Princess Kant?" Gonggong Liu asked with a pretentious gesture.

"Princess Kant? What Gonggong Liu means is that Yurong was named Princess Kant. Yang Dewen reacted immediately.

"Young Master Yang, the princess's leap name is not something that miscellaneous families dare to call. However, if it is Princess Kant who is asked, Princess Kant does have a sentence that I entrust the miscellaneous family to tell you. ”

"What?"

"The princess said she was waiting for you in the capital."

Yang Dewen was dumbfounded all of a sudden, what did Yu Rong mean by this, could it be that she would never return to Kant in the future?

"Your Majesty also has an edict, let the miscellaneous family tell you." Gonggong Liu then said.

"If you want to marry Princess Kant, I will give you two choices, one is to break off immediately, and the relationship with other women, then you can enter Beijing immediately, and re-marry Princess Kant, and I will make you a concubine.

The second way is that within three years, enter Beijing with your own ability, I will make you the county of Kangde County, and use this as the cornerstone, if you can be promoted to Beijing with merit, I will allow you to marry Princess Kant, and also allow you to take a concubine with the consent of Princess Kant. ”

"Young Master Yang, with all due respect, Your Majesty is quite good to you! Since the founding of the Great Qin Empire, concubines can be allowed, but it is only something that happened when the country was founded. ”

"Damn! This is also a good name, from the director of the public security bureau of a county town, he has become a Beijing official within three years, and at least he is also a provincial and ministerial-level senior official above the fifth grade.

These are nothing, and a high-ranking official may not be a Beijing official! Prince Ming's official position is high enough, right? He's not and he's not a Beijing official. Yang Dewen thought to himself.

"What? The county lieutenant of Kangde County, how many officials came, and the standard of this Beijing official, how many officials did they come? Yang Dewen asked.

"Kangde County should be regarded as an upper county! The county lieutenant of Shangxian is a rank under the eighth grade, and the standard of the Beijing official is not easy to say! As long as it is within the scope of the capital, even if he is a nine-rank official, he should be regarded as a Beijing official!

The officials of the capital are sent to other provinces, which is the third level of the official university! So Yang Gongzi's question about the standard of Jingguan, the miscellaneous family is really not good at answering you. ”

Gonggong Liu squinted his eyes and replied with a smile.

"Then Your Majesty said that within three years, he will be promoted to a Beijing official, how to explain this sentence?"

"What's this? The best thing for Young Master Yang is to ask His Majesty, from the perspective of the miscellaneous family, it probably depends on His Majesty's mood! Yang Gongzi, do you think, as long as Your Majesty is happy and transfers you to the capital as a county lieutenant, won't you become a Beijing official? ”

Yang Dewen only felt that his eyes were dark, and he was about to faint.

I remember that when I was in the Ming Palace, I met His Majesty, who looked very amiable, how could he pit people, and he was also a character with no lower limit at all.

"Father-in-law Liu, isn't there a daily court meeting in this court? So what is the lowest rank among those officials who go to court every day? Yang Dewen thought to himself, since the emperor has issued such a holy decree, it is impossible not to have a little rule, right? It shouldn't be recognized by the official grade of the previous dynasty!

"According to the regulations of the imperial court, all officials in Beijing, officials above the fifth grade, must go to the court." Gonggong Liu's eyes lit up and nodded secretly.

This young man is really amazing, and Gonggong Liu also asked His Majesty about this question.

Although His Majesty did not specify it, he only said that when Yang Dewen's grade arrived, he would naturally understand, but the implication was that there were certain rules for the level of this Beijing official.

"Young Master Yang, the miscellaneous family will return to Beijing in three days, and I also ask Young Master Yang to make a choice within three days.

If Yang Gongzi chooses to enter Beijing right now, then he will go to Beijing with the miscellaneous family in three days.

If you let Childe choose, the second way, then the miscellaneous family can go to Kangde County to announce the decree. ”
