The little Turkic prince gave up his baggage and led his army to march all the way in the direction of Yanzhou City.

And at the same time.

Yang Xu, who didn't know that the war was coming, was standing in his small courtyard at the moment, waiting for the arrival of the holy decree with an expectant face.

Early this morning, someone from the post station was informed, saying that the messenger would arrive at his house at about noon.

To be honest, when he heard the news, Yang Xu was a little excited in his heart.

After all, Su Xiu had already revealed to him in advance that this time he could earn him an immortal title for his contribution to the salt method!

Yay, knight!

As long as this thing is hung on the head, it can be regarded as stepping into the ruling class of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

Yang Xu was in a very good mood, and according to Su Xiu's reminder, he set up the incense case in advance in the courtyard and waited for the arrival of the messenger.

It's not long,

I heard a commotion outside the hospital.

Immediately after, a shrill voice came:

"The angel has arrived, and Yang Xu, a student of Ning'an County, has taken the order!"

Hearing this voice, Yang Xu hurriedly came to the outside of the courtyard with Su Xiu.

As soon as I walked out of the courtyard gate,

I saw a fat white man dressed as a eunuch holding a yellow scroll in both hands, standing outside the door with his face south and north back.

And behind this fat old man, there are sixteen mighty knights with helmets and armor and full armor!

As soon as Yang Xu saw this posture, he knew that the fat old man in front of him was the messenger.

Immediately, according to the way Su Xiu had explained, he faced the holy decree and bowed to the shrine:

"Yang Xu, a student of Xiaomin Ning'an County, take the order!"

"Oh? You are Yang Xu, a student taught by Master Su in Ning'an County, and you really look at it! ”

The fat eunuch looked Yang Xu up and down, and said with a smile.

"It's Xiaomin who makes my father-in-law smile."

Yang Xu has been a human being for two lives, and this is the first time he has knelt down, and he is really a little uncomfortable.

But now in the era of the supremacy of imperial power, since he has not crossed into the emperor, then he can only follow the customs.

Seeing that Yang Xu was still kneeling, the fat eunuch didn't want to answer any more, so he immediately cleared his throat, slowly unfolded the holy decree, and read aloud:

"Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: I have heard that there is a student surnamed Yang Mingxu in Ning'an County, who has been adhering to the ...... of self-denial since childhood."

The fat eunuch read the whole text with a shaking head and a frustration.

Although Yang Xu inherited the memory of his predecessor and could understand the general meaning, he was also affected by the long content of the quotations and classics, and his scalp was numb for a while, and he was quite struggling.

finally listened to him recite half a cup of tea, and then heard the most critical title of "Longjiang Bo".

Yang Xu thought that all the titles of the reward would come out, and this time the holy decree should be finished, right?

thereupon

It's half a cup of tea again......

The fat eunuch finally finished reading the holy decree.

Yang Xu's legs were about to go numb at this time, and he immediately bowed three times and bowed nine times according to the way Su Xiu had taught, and received the order to thank him.

The fat eunuch handed over the holy decree, and immediately accepted the look of being high and looking at all beings just now.

Immediately smiled and bowed to Yang Xu:

"Congratulations to the uncle, congratulations to the uncle, he has been crowned an uncle at the age of twenty-nine, and he will be ranked as the prince of the country in the future!"

When Yang Xu heard what he said, he knew that he was asking for a reward.

Immediately took out the silver ticket prepared in advance, stuffed it into his hand, and said with a smile:

"My father-in-law has worked hard all the way, Yang is grateful, this little respect, my father-in-law took it to drink tea, and I hope my father-in-law will not dislike it."

This fat eunuch can be regarded as knowledgeable, and he put away the silver ticket with a smile, and then saluted Yang Xu: "Thank you for the reward!"

Immediately, he saluted Su Xiu on the side, and then led the group of sergeants to leave.

Yang Xu brought the holy decree back to the courtyard, offered it on the incense table, and put three incense sticks in his own hands.

When all the people in the family saw him return from receiving the holy decree, they all gathered together.

Everyone gathered around the incense table, chattering about the holy decree offered to the incense table.

This is something from the emperor!

Not to mention these ordinary people, it is said that even many officials in the court have never seen such a thing as a holy decree in their lives!

Now they can be regarded as relying on Yang Xu's blessing, so they can be so close to the Holy Decree!

And Yang Xu didn't revolve around the holy decree like his family.

After all, he is not a native of the feudal era, and he does not have much awe and curiosity about the holy decree, a product that symbolizes the supreme imperial power.

So just as the family was still looking around the holy decree, Yang Xu had already pulled Su Xiu and began to ask where Longjiang was.

Because this time, Emperor Zhou not only conferred on him the title of Earl of Longjiang, but also rewarded him with an earl's palace and 1,500 acres of land in Longjiang County on the outskirts of Beijing in the capital!

The Earl's Court in the capital!

And fifteen hundred acres of land!

This is a real material reward!

At present, Yang Xu, the title of Earl of Longjiang, cannot be hereditary, but the land and the Earl's Mansion rewarded by the emperor are real heirlooms that can be left to future generations!

Yang Xu has been successful in entrepreneurship after struggle in his previous life, and his annual income can beat 90% of his peers.

But with the blessing of such excellent material conditions, if he wants to buy a house of his own, he still needs to take a 30-year mortgage!

Now that he has crossed here, he suddenly has his own mansion and 1,500 acres of land!

And the house and the land are still freehold!

You don't have to take on a mortgage and leave it to future generations!

It's exciting to think about!

Yang Xu is very concerned about this.

At the same time, the idea of moving to Beijing with his family also rose in his heart.

After all, his Earl's Mansion and land were all there, and it was indeed not a matter to continue to stay in this Yanzhou City and rent a house to live.

When Su Xiu heard his beloved disciple's questions, he naturally answered everything.

It's just that when he mentions the 1,500 acres of land, he seems a little indignant.

After all, in his eyes, Longjiang is a proper suburb, and judging from the map, that location is about to leave the boundary of Jingshi.

In his opinion, Yang Xu has made such a great contribution and solved the suffering of the salt shortage of the northern border army in one fell swoop, no matter how stingy the imperial court is, it must also reward some good land.

But what kind of place is Longjiang?

Where is there no plain land for cultivation but the mountains and hills?

In Su Xiu's opinion, the 1,500 acres of land rewarded by the holy decree, of which 300 acres of fertile land can be considered good.

As for the remaining more than 1,000 acres of land, it is estimated that they are either mountains or barren hills with rugged terrain.

Su Xiu's reward for the land was quite unfair to Yang Xu.

After all, this time Lao Su made a lot of effort in the court, but he didn't expect to ask for such a reward.

Su Xiu was a little displeased, he suspected that it must be his eldest brother who was not angry that he was too cowardly in front of the emperor, which led to today's result.

Thinking of this,

Su Xiu suddenly lost interest.

immediately said goodbye to Yang Xu and returned to the backyard of the Buzheng Yamen.

To put pen to paper is to repair a book.

He wants to ask his eldest brother if he is too cowardly in front of the emperor!
