Lose in hake, but gain in herring.

Earn less money and silver, but the official to the fourth grade, the reward is thin, but the reward is thick, the most surprising is that he was promoted from the baron of the founding county to the viscount of the founding county, which is a huge progress, increasing by 200 households, reaching 500 households, of course, this number of households may not really reach 500 households, as long as there is no such a big disaster as the destruction of the family, Liu Yuan and the female dependents of the family, a lifetime is enough to worry about food and clothing.

I have to say that the current Tang Dynasty is a beautiful dynasty, the national strength is strong, the soldiers are wide, that is, the officials, the treatment is still very good, not only the salary, but also the benefits of the field, the supply of miscellaneous goods, the distribution in kind, etc., there are rewards for the festival in the field, not only the officials themselves, but also the wives and children of the family also benefited, this is the phenomenon of corruption and bribery of officials in the Tang Dynasty is not much, in many dynasties, it is a very good kind.

As soon as the dynasty was dispersed, Cheng Lao Demon King and a few of them wanted to discuss the matter of Changluo Expressway with Liu Yuan, after all, they vigorously supported the front line, and the progress of Changluo Expressway was also implicated, and they wanted to discuss with Liu Yuan, but before they could speak, Liu Yuan asked the eunuch guarding the door to take him away, saying that the emperor had a reward.

Needless to say, it must have been for the sake of gunpowder.

So, Liu Yuan met Li Er and his mother, the eldest grandson of the world, in the Lizheng Palace.

After finishing the salute, Liu Yuan didn't wait for Li Er to speak, and hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, can't you discuss Hu Xin's matter?" ”

Still in Yangguan, Liu Yuan asked in a letter to Li Er, willing to ask for a reward for Hu Xin's mother and daughter with his military exploits, borrowed from Longyou, traveled all the way to the mountains and rivers, and returned for more than a month. At the end of the day, there was still no share of Hu Xin and Xiao Liu Xue, and Liu Yuan couldn't help but ask anymore.

"Aiqing, don't panic" Li Er said with a smile: "Regarding the reward of Hu Xin's mother and daughter, someone has been sent to the house to announce the decree, you can do things with peace of mind." ”

"But"

Empress Changsun said with a smile on the side: "The emperor means that the reward will be divided so as not to cause trouble with Aiqing, which is a piece of the emperor's kindness." ”

Liu Yuan suddenly realized at this time, and hurriedly thanked Li Er.

"Aiqing, let's go see your so-called gunpowder." Li Er had long been attracted by Liu Yuan's new-style "divine soldiers", so he ordered the eunuchs around him early. As soon as he dispersed, he brought Liu Yuan here, and after a while, he could follow Liu Yuan to watch the power of the gunpowder.

He was keenly aware that this gunpowder would have an immeasurable effect on Datang.

Liu Yuan's eyes rolled a few times, and he immediately smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is a matter of small ministers." It may be necessary to take a break. ”

"Well, what's the explanation?"

"Wechen has just returned. Didn't prepare anything. This is one of them, and the second is that gunpowder is very dangerous, and if there is a lot of movement, there is no eye-catching mark, and if there is less movement, it will be less powerful, and if you want to see a grander scene. For the sake of safety and secrecy, it must be moved to a remote place outside the city, and these are not prepared, but in a few days. Wechen is ready to start blasting a stone mountain, and when the time comes, please invite the emperor to come and take a look, and you can know the true power of the gunpowder. ”

Li Er frowned, although he really wanted to witness the power of the gunpowder with his own eyes, but after hearing what Liu Yuan said, he hesitated for a moment, and then nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then I will wait for Aiqing's good news." ”

Speaking of Li Er's perseverance, no one in the Tang Dynasty is unbeatable, since Li Yuan raised troops, Li Er has been putting up with his jealous eldest brother Li Jiancheng, among which his subordinates hinted at getting rid of it several times, Li Er refused, and most of the people thought that Li Jiancheng's victory was in sight, so he gave him the most fatal blow, this endurance, Liu Yuan also deeply admired, now just wait a few more days, for Li Er, it is not a problem at all.

Empress Changsun asked a few words, all about the expedition to Tibet, Liu Yuan didn't expect Empress Changsun to be so interested in this kind of thing, sighed in his heart, it seems that women's curiosity is very big, so they have to take the trouble to answer all questions, when Empress Changsun heard that Hu Xin was in the ice and snow, without taking ambiguity and hot water, gave birth to Liu Xue in a broken cave, and said emotionally when she heard the words:

"Pity the heart of the world's husband and mother, a princess, to make such a sacrifice, it is indeed worthy of admiration, and this palace also has deep respect."

"Yes," Liu Yuan also said with some guilt: "So Weichen tried to compensate her as much as possible." ”

The eldest grandson of the world, the queen of the mother's family, wiped the corners of her eyes, smiled a little embarrassedly, and then whispered: "Liu Qingjia, although you are happy with your daughter, but you can't be too arrogant, say to the children, clothes are not as good as the old, wear hundreds of clothes to raise children, if you don't dislike it, the son has some used clothes, you can take them to Xue'er." ”

"Empress Xie, or the queen is thoughtful," Liu Yuan hurriedly thanked.

Clothes are not as good as the old, it is said that the baby's clothes, put the new, it is better to pick up relatives and friends and children used, this saying is to the future generations, but also spread, Liu Yuan has analyzed the reasons, first, the child grows up fast, the clothes will soon not fit, the new will cause waste, the second is the child's skin is very delicate, the bad clothes will cause allergies or discomfort, etc., the old one is worn, it is equivalent to testing, so it is much better, the queen personally sent the child's old clothes, not Liu Yuancha this bit of money, This is not something that money can measure.

However, when Liu Yuan agreed, he had already decided in his heart that even if he used it, he had to use boiling water to scald it several times, the son's body was not very good, although it was not an infectious disease, but it was better to be careful, don't pit your baby daughter.

Although the conversation was very pleasant, Liu Yuan immediately quit when he saw that Li Er began to correct the recital.

After such a toss, it is almost time to eat now, and Liu Yuan will not go to Yangwei Daying and the Jinyu family, and go straight home.

Let's see what reward Li Er gave to Hu Xin's mother and daughter

"The concubine congratulates the prime minister on his promotion to the rank of knight and his promotion to a fourth-rank high-ranking official." Cui Mengyao saluted Liu Yuan with a smile and said with a smile.

"The slave family congratulates Xianggong on his promotion to the rank of knight" Xiao Niang and Du Sanniang, including Hu Xin, who was holding Xiao Liu Xue, also saluted Liu Yuanying together, and said in unison, several delicate women, one by one, were waiting at the door, and when they saw Liu Yuan, they welcomed with a smile.

It's obviously an appointment.

The four women, all of them are so beautiful and moving, and the smiling faces like flowers bloom like flowers, even Liu Yuan, who is also a little crazy.

Half-loud, Liu Yuan said in some surprise: "What are you doing?" Didn't you cause some trouble, and you want me to carry it for you, right? ”

Usually in the house, Liu Yuan implements harmony and equality, there is no so-called male superiority and female inferiority, it is a maid ring, working in the house has its dignity, like Xiaoniang, they do not call Liu Yuan "master" or "Xianggong" like other people's families, they all call him by his name, Cui Mengyao was infected by them, and he was also called Liu Yuan, but I didn't expect that today they are all "concubines" and "slaves", which makes Liu Yuan feel a little unaccustomed.

Cui Mengyao smiled and said, "You are now a high-ranking official of the fourth grade, and we are specially here to welcome you." ”

The third product can be called a big member, the fourth product can be called a high-ranking official, and it is promoted to the fourth product, although it is from the fourth grade, but it can be regarded as a peak of life, a watershed in the career, and the most important thing is that Liu Yuan is still young, and the future is unlimited, no matter what, it is worth celebrating.

"Okay, our family doesn't have so many rules" Liu Yuan waved his hand, as if he remembered something, and hurriedly asked, "Xiao Xin, has that holy decree come?" ”

I almost forgot to ask Hu Xin about the reward.

Hu Xin's face was overjoyed, not only moved by Liu Yuan's concern, but also satisfied with the reward he received, and hurriedly nodded and said: "Here, I am named the lady of the Sixth Rank Command, and I have also rewarded a lot of things, by the way, Xiaoxue also has it, Tian Khan is really wrong, the emperor is so generous, I don't know anything, fortunately, the eldest sister is teaching me on the side." ”

Mrs. Liupin?

It's so-so, not too high and not low, okay.

The sixth grade is much worse than Cui Mengyao's fourth grade, which is also normal, Cui Mengyao is the first famous family in the Tang Dynasty, his father and uncle are among the high-ranking officials, Cui's protégés are all over the world, and Cui Jing only has one daughter, Cui Mengyao's status is naturally not comparable to Hu Xin's princess in distress, it is obvious that Li Er also took care of Qinghe Cui's reaction before the reward.

Knife cut tofu on both sides of the light.

Xiaoniang said happily: "Senior brother, in addition to the fourth sister has a reward, Sister Mengyao and Sanniang and I also have a reward, the emperor really looks at you this time." ”

"Yes, those palace satins are so beautiful, I heard that they are still tribute, by the way, there is also Korean ginseng from Silla country, I heard that this is very famous, that ginseng is really big, much larger than our wild ginseng." Du Sanniang also said happily.

The Tang Dynasty can be said to stand on the shoulders of the Sui Dynasty, carry forward the past and forge ahead into the future, and the surrounding states have the habit of paying tribute, and it is reasonable for Li Er to distribute these tributes to the meritorious ministers.

Liu Yuanleng paused for a moment and said a little strangely: "What? Do you have a share in that, too? If you give it, take it, but Sanniang, it's not like you haven't seen Korean ginseng, that thing is grown, and the wild ginseng of our Datang Dynasty is grown by absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon in the wild, this can't be compared, there is no need to be jealous. ”

Is this a family bonus?

Cui Mengyao said with a wise face: "I guess this is the emperor's compensation for spying on us some time ago." ”

"Okay, I've been standing here for so long, go back, dress up, don't cook, let's go outside and have a good meal." Liu Yuan said proudly.

Promoted and knighted, smooth wind and smooth water, Liu Yuan was in a very good mood, and he was ready to go out to dinner with the daughters, because he had made an appointment with those brothers tonight, and he was ready to have some fun, so he would accompany the family members now.

"It's not going to work, it's too late."

"Late? What do you mean? Liu Yuan said in surprise.

Cui Mengyao covered her mouth and smiled: "General Cheng Lao and General Wei Chi have been notified in advance, they will use lunch in Liu's mansion, and now the kitchen is busy, it is estimated that it will come in a while, Liu Yuan, if you want to go out to eat, you have to wait for next time." ”

Yes, these old foodies still sent someone to inform them so solemnly, and they really don't treat themselves as outsiders. (To be continued......)
