"Didn't Zhuge Taishou in Youzhou do a good job? Why let Liang Xiao take his place! ”

The ministers of the family said every word, without exception, they were fiercely opposed, and they did not forget to cast a sneering glance at Zhuge Hui, as if to say: This descendant was raised by you, but now he occupies the official position of your family.

Zhuge Hui ignored them and said, "My Emperor Shengming! At present, the country is in urgent need of pillars, but the Marquis of Lanling is still a little younger after all, and more officials should be sent to help govern. ”

"Quasi-play." Duan Yunyi pushed the boat down the river and nodded.

Duanmu Cao and the others began to scold their mothers in their hearts, but on the surface, they still patiently advised.

"Your Majesty, with such a delegation of power, what is the difference between him Liang Xiao and a state warlord? Moreover, his only relative and friend is a sister who is not related by blood, and she is also in Yanzhou, right? The ministers are really worried! "The soldier of the Ministry of War, Ram Yunyi, is stern.

Duan Yunyi frowned: "Do you think Liang Aiqing will rebel?" ”

"It's just a legitimate concern." Ram Cloud smiled.

Tobe Shangshu Higashino Hongji saw that the opportunity to perform had come, and he also came out to refute it.

"How can Lord Ram be reasonable? Youzhou is located in the north, facing Beihu, Liang Aiqing and Beihu are in the same water, beheading 5,000 before and after, Beihu people hate him to the core, you are worried about the rebellion of the Marquis of Lanling, it is better to worry about the group of people in the north who are treason to Beihu Nuyan and knees. ”

When Ram Yun saw Higashino Hongji, he was immediately furious.

This Dongye Hongji used to be only Yanzhou Taishou, but now he has become the head of the household department, and his official position is one level greater than him.

The Higashino clan is eager to show their loyalty to the Son of Heaven, if they let it go, they will be replaced sooner or later!

It's a pity that these big families can't take the initiative to mention the matter of Huguo Temple, otherwise they will clearly tell Duan Yunyi that they have already infiltrated Huguo Temple.

"Nonsense! The friendship between the two countries was originally intended to stop the fighting, let go of hatred, and retribution for grievances......"

"Nonsense! Making peace with Beihu is tantamount to putting out fires with salary! ”

The two sides began to argue fiercely.

"Silence! The matter of the reward has been decided. In addition, Liang Aiqing will add 2,000 food estates, reward 10,000 taels of silver, and 10,000 acres of fertile land! ”

Duan Yunyi stopped the argument of the ministers in time, looked at Liang Xiao, and his eyes softened a lot.

Liang Xiao is actually not bad at rewarding silver and farmland, but this kind of reward is formal and necessary, and it must be shown to the people of the world.

"Liang Aiqing, I look forward to you making contributions to the country again."

Liang Xiao immediately said: "Your Majesty cultivates virtue and revitalizes the army, and the ministers are loyal and wise, why worry about the North Hu is not broken!" ”

"Well said!"

Duan Yunyi raised his eyebrows, and immediately issued an edict, and the matter of the reward was settled.

Liang Xiao was officially awarded the title of Youzhou Taishou, the general of Zhenbei, and concurrently served as the middle of the matter, and the first-class imperial merchant remained unchanged.

But in comparison, the official rank of the first rank of the imperial merchant is far less than that of the first two.

The Taishou of the Great Zhou Dynasty were divided according to the region, and the official ranks were different.

Youzhou Taishou and Zhenbei General are both from the third grade.

Moreover, this time, Liang Xiao's food town increased by 2,000 households, and he directly became a marquis of 10,000 households, second only to Lao Dingguo Hou in the number of households.

Since the disaster of moving the capital, the Great Zhou has never had such dazzling achievements, so Duan Yunyi's reward is justified, and these ministers of the family can only be forced to accept it.

Youzhou Taishou Zhuge Qi was about to step down, and Duan Yunyi sent someone to Youzhou immediately to inform him that he was ready to hand over to Liang Xiao, and then go to Beijing for promotion.

The news that Liang Xiao became an official and became the Marquis of Wanhu soon spread all over the streets and alleys.

There are old ministers such as Duan Yunyi and Zhuge Hui in the capital, coupled with Liang Xiao's newspaper publicity, the people have a good impression of Liang Xiao, and the streets and alleys are full of congratulations.

As ordinary people, they at least understand that whoever can make their lives live well is a good person.

Liang Xiao promoted the Quyuan plow, assisted in the reform of the salt government, and defeated the Beihu, which is undoubtedly better than the hypocritical family.

Outside the palace, in addition to the Zhuge family, the happiest is the Dingguo Marquis' Mansion.

When Mu Ping and Mrs. Mu heard that Liang Xiao was promoted, they smiled from ear to ear.

In the afternoon, Liang Xiao came to visit them in the house and truthfully told the story of his marriage with Mu Qinxue in Jixian County.

Mrs. Mu smiled unusually unrestrainedly.

Liang Xiao returned to the Marquis of Lanling Mansion and found the housekeeper Bai Qin.

Most of the industries in the capital are Bai Qin, who was born in Xuanwei.

Deliveries have been made one after another, and sugarcane has been discontinued, and new planting has resumed.

With the support of Jiangnan sugar cane, there is still a lot of sugar reserves, enough to deliver to horse merchants in the West.

The books of the bookstore have been sold all over the world, and the family book industry in the country has almost completely gone bankrupt.

Only the newspapers are still storming the city, trying to break into remote areas.

But places such as Dachu and Bashu are customizing newspapers, which is profitable.

Coupled with the financial report sent by Yanzhou, Liang Xiao made a rough calculation.

Excluding Yanzhou farmland, his assets have exceeded seven million taels, which is shocking!

"Hoard some funds, and after the apportionment is promoted into the mu, buy back the farmland from those families, and ordinary people can also collect it, but give them the opportunity to buy back these farmlands at any time." Liang Xiao admonished.

Bai Qin solemnly agreed.

He had already understood Liang Xiao's intention to buy farmland.

Land annexation was one of the important reasons for the fall of the dynasty.

Liang Xiao and Duan Yunyi were ready to buy back more land and distribute it to farmers with little or no land to plant, charging only a small amount of rent for themselves.

In the future, if necessary, land can even be given as a reward to meritorious soldiers and farmers with outstanding performance.

Those big families don't have such a big pattern, they are just bent on exploitation.

Once the policy of apportionment into the mu is promoted, these lands are bound to usher in a certain degree of price reduction, after all, the poll tax is counted in the field tax, and the actual income of farmland may be less than before.

The moonlight was hazy tonight, and Duan Yunyi was in a good mood.

The matter of adding an official to Liang Xiao went a little smoother than expected.

In the courtyard, Liang Xiao and Duan Yunyi were drinking each other, and some fruits and snacks were placed on the table.

Duan Yunyi originally invited Zhuge Yun, Xiahou Qingyi, and Diana, but the three girls were embarrassed and declined in fear.

Liang Xiao, as a hero, is not easy to refuse such a warm invitation.

The two of them drank moonlight wine, and even if the alcohol content was not high, Duan Yunyi's face was a little red.

She's already had three drinks.

"Aiqing, I have peace of mind......"

Duan Yunyi suddenly spoke, making Liang Xiao stunned for a moment, looking at her by the firelight.

The iceberg beauties on weekdays have blurred eyes at the moment, which makes people feel excited.

"Your Majesty can rest assured, and the ministers are also very happy." Liang Xiao smiled.

Duan Yunyi pursed his lips, looked at him, and stopped talking.

"Your Majesty, drink less, you're already drunk."

Liang Xiao reminded him seriously, which made Duan Yunyi lose his temper inexplicably, carrying the wine jug, getting up and walking to the chair on Liang Xiao's side and sitting down, and directly filling it with the wine jug.

Liang Xiao's expression changed.

It seems that she is really drunk and is about to start showing off her foreign appearance.

After pouring half a pot of wine, Duan Yunyi's face was flushed, and he hummed: "Peace of mind, it's because Da Zhou has you." ”

Before Liang Xiao could respond, she had fallen on Liang Xiao's shoulder and whispered.

"I, I regret it......"
