No knighthood shall be awarded for non-military merits, which is a rule left by Emperor Taizu, the founder of the Great Yan Kingdom.

It's just that this emperor couldn't have imagined that more than 300 years later, in the Great Yan Kingdom, this rule left by himself would become the source of the civil official group's hands on the martial arts system!

Nowadays, among the officialdom of the entire Great Yan Kingdom, the most popular is the civil and military affairs, which not only retains the nobility of the scholars, but also can obtain the title, which is really the best of both worlds!

In the army, the military supplies are all in the hands of civilian officials, which breaks the backbone of military generals from the root, and even in the officialdom, there are jokes about the three-rank military generals saluting the seven-rank civilian officials, and the arrogance of the civilian official group can be seen.

It's just that with the continuous tightening of the mouth of the knighthood, the title is becoming more and more precious in the Great Yan Kingdom.

Although Zhao Hengyi is only the lowest level of barony, he can be regarded as truly stepping into the aristocratic class, and the benefits he brings are simply countless!

It's just that Zhao Hengyi was rewarded in Yonggu City, and some people wanted to cover it up, eager to turn Zhao Hengyi into air, and Dangyang County, where his household registration was located, didn't know that there was a nobleman in his county!

Zhao Hengyi is happy to see it happen, an empty baron put it on others, maybe he will take the opportunity to show off some benefits, but Zhao Hengyi likes to make a fortune in a muffled voice, he can't wait to be noticed before he is full-fledged!

Moreover, the serious baronial title of Cangwu County canonized by the imperial court, the procedures and certificates are in his own hands, once he needs to use this identity, he will not have any impact at all because Zhao Hengyi is too low-key.

Seventeen fellow veterans returned home on their own, and after reuniting with their families, they went to Zhao Hengyi with their families.

These veterans are all elites specially selected by Song Yingan for his brothers, and they can all be trusted with their character and character, and Zhao Hengyi has investigated many ways along the way, so he is willing to accept them.

After experiencing Yonggu City and his party, Zhao Hengyi's heart was full of a sense of urgency, and the conditions prescribed to these veterans were very generous.

The whole family comes to vote, not only has a settling-in allowance, but also provides a real brick house to live in, and serves as a guard with a monthly salary of 200 yuan per person, the position is promoted, and the salary is also rising, even if you have been serving as a guard, the salary will increase year after year!

In the vicinity of Dangyang County, this salary can already be called a high salary, and Zhao Hengyi and Dangyang, who was born in the Mighty Marquis Mansion, are like brothers, these old pawns are also in their eyes, and they are naturally willing to follow Zhao Dong to fight for a future!

Leaving Dangyang County, Zhao Hengyi took Wang Dahu, Wang Erhu and Zhang Daniu to continue to hurry back to Yushu Bay.

As soon as they walked to the entrance of the village, the four of them were shocked by everything in front of them!

I saw the smoke billowing from the brick kilns and lime kilns in the village, the men who had been hanging out were busy, the women were busy working in the textile workshops, and the old people and children were all digging earthworms everywhere in order to earn more work.

This busy scene, this state where everyone has a job, even in Dangyang County, you can't see it!

"The owner is back!"

"Go and tell Sister Xiaoyu that the owner is back!"

"The owner is back with Dahu Erhu and Zhang Daniu, go to the village to report the news!"

The four people who were in the dust were warmly surrounded by the villagers, asking questions one by one, their eyes full of envy.

In this year, he can go on a long trip, and he can be called a knowledgeable person in the village.

Zhao Hengyi, the proprietor, naturally does not need to be mentioned, and Wang Dahu, a veteran who originally served in the border army, needless to say, but Wang Erhu and Zhang Daniu have become the envy of young people.

The crowd came from a distance, but Miao Xiaoyu, who was surrounded by everyone, arrived.

Miao Xiaoyu, who is now in charge of the division of work and the distribution of wages, has already become a capable female shopkeeper in the hearts of the villagers after more than two months of training.

But as soon as she saw her husband returning from a long journey, Miao Xiaoyu, who was getting stronger and stronger, still couldn't control her red eyes!

Resisting the urge to throw herself into her husband's arms, Miao Xiaoyu looked at Zhao Hengyi carefully, the more than two months of the border army trip made her husband black and strong, especially with a strong suit on her body, how to look at it and reveal a spirit!

The six little ones who followed didn't have as many scruples as the eldest sister, and the little girls cheered and threw themselves into Zhao Hengyi's arms, crying and laughing, happy and tight.

I haven't seen him for more than two months, as if he was in another world, Zhao Hengyi looked at Miao Xiaoyu opposite, and listened to the six little ones chattering about how the eldest sister missed her brother-in-law, how she called her husband in her sleep, and the warmth of the family wrapped Zhao Hengyi in the whole way.

Miao Xiaoyu, who was exposed by her sisters, blushed under the jokes of her sisters-in-law and aunts, but her shy psychology couldn't stop her thoughts about her husband, and finally in the coaxing of everyone, Miao Xiaoyu lowered her head and tightened her husband's sleeves with her little hands, and the family went home lively.

With abundant funds, the things that Zhao Hengyi explained before leaving were advancing smoothly, with Miao Xiaoyu at the helm, the old village chief and a group of elders to help, the brick kiln, lime kiln, textile workshop, and chicken farm were all on the right track.

Even Zhao Hengyi's original dilapidated thatched house was replaced by three large tiled houses.

The textile workshop was expanded into the appearance of a factory workshop in later generations, and there was enough room for further expansion, but because Zhao Hengyi was in a hurry, the number of new looms was still too small, and the women in the village could only take turns in three shifts.

The chicken farm also did not have Zhao Hengyi to provide technical guidance, and artificial incubation could not be carried out, but the chicks purchased from the county town and nearby villages grew well, and the advantages of using earthworms as feed were vividly reflected.

However, the brick kiln and the lime kiln attracted Zhao Hengyi's attention, these two kilns that solved the livelihood of the young and strong labor force in the village were too polluting the environment, Zhao Hengyi had begun to plan secretly, and in a few days two larger kilns were built in the direction of Daqing Mountain, and the two kilns next to the village were abandoned.

As soon as he washed off the dust on his body, the old village chief brought a group of elders to find him, and there were many big and small things that needed to be discussed with Zhao Hengyi, and he needed to wait for him to make a decision.

Fortunately, Miao Xiaoyu has always been in charge of the accounts, otherwise the things that need to be communicated will be more complicated, even so, until it gets dark, the village chief and the elders are reluctant to leave.

The six little ones who miss their brother-in-law have been chattering around Zhao Hengyi, and they are reluctant to part even for dinner.

It wasn't until the moon quietly climbed up the treetops that Sun Xiuying, who had been living at home with Miao Xiaoyu, coaxed the six little ones away and took them to the next room to sleep, giving Miao Xiaoyu and Zhao Hengyi time to be alone.

"Xiuying is good, quite capable."

The atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous, and Zhao Hengyi had nothing to say.

"It's very good, I can't be busy without Xiuying's help at home and in the textile workshop."

After more than two months of training, Miao Xiaoyu has become more independent and bolder, "But I don't want to talk about Xiuying now, I just want to ask your husband, do you miss Xiaoyu in the army?" ”
