Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 413
"Yes, ma'am!"

Guo Ang quickly directed his servants with excitement on his face, put aside the furniture and flower pots in his hands, arranged his clothes, followed Liu Baiwei, and rushed towards the front yard.

forecourt.

Guo An was chatting with the eunuch.

Seeing Liu Baiwei coming with everyone in the house, his expression straightened and he quickly spoke to the eunuch.

Then he stepped forward, led Liu Baiwei and others, and stood in line.

"The wife of Marquis Dinghai, Liu received the imperial edict!"

Dinghaihou?
Liu Baiwei was stunned. There was no Marquis Dinghai’s wife here?

On the side, Guo An quickly pulled Liu Baiwei and signaled Liu Baiwei to accept the imperial edict.

Seeing this, Liu Baiwei suddenly thought of something, her eyes widened with disbelief, but she quickly replied: "A civilian woman accepts the imperial edict!"

The eunuch didn't mind Liu Baiwei's surprise, and immediately read out the edict: "The Emperor is entrusted to heaven. The edict says: The wife of Marquis Dinghai, Mrs. Liu, is Shushen by nature, diligent and submissive, harmonious and pure, gentle in nature, restrained in her inner conduct, and Shu." De Hanzhang, I have heard of virtuous people for a long time...

I am specially granted the title of second-grade imperial concubine, Your Majesty. "

"Mrs. Second Grade Gaoming?"

Liu Baiwei felt dizzy after hearing this. Has she become a second-grade woman?
Moreover, when did his husband become the Marquis of Dinghai?
Seeing this, the eunuch stepped forward directly and said, "Congratulations, congratulations, Mr. Marquis, madam!"

Only then did Liu Baiwei wake up with a start and said quickly: "Kowtow to thank the Holy Grace, a common woman will accept the imperial edict!"

The eunuch didn't pay attention to the mistake in Liu Baiwei's words, and handed the edict in his hand to Liu Baiwei with a smile.

At the same time, the two eunuchs on the side also quickly handed the imperial decree and iron coupons in their hands to Guo An.

"Trouble Angel!"

After Liu Baiwei came to her senses, she quickly expressed her gratitude.

As for the eunuch, his face was full of humility and he even said he didn't dare.

Behind Liu Baiwei, Guo An and others, Guo Ang and other servants of the Guo Mansion were staring at the edicts and imperial edicts in the hands of Liu Baiwei and Guo An at the front with excitement on their faces.

Their master became the Marquis of Dinghai, and their wife also became the Second Grade Imperial Lady!
Afterwards, the eunuch who declared the imperial edict said goodbye very wisely.

After leaving the Guo Mansion, a young eunuch's face suddenly changed, and he said with annoyance: "This Marquis of Dinghai really doesn't know etiquette. He has already been made a Marquis. We are waiting to issue an edict to him, but..."

"Shut up!"

The leading eunuch directly glared at the young eunuch and scolded: "You have to look at others even if you chew your tongue. As a little slave, do you dare to arrange for a newly promoted prince behind your back?"

The young eunuch was also a shrewd man, and he quickly said with fear on his face: "Sir, calm down, it's the younger one who deserves to die, the younger one doesn't have eyesight!"

The leading eunuch said: "Hmph, if you want to live longer in the palace, don't just stare at those yellow and white things, but think more.

Your Majesty has been on the throne for so long, do you think anyone has been rewarded by His Majesty?

But as soon as Lord Guo came back from Peiping, His Majesty directly rewarded him? "

The junior eunuch's eyes suddenly widened, and he saluted the leading eunuch with a grateful face.

"Thanks for the tip, mate..."

……

In the Guo Mansion, after returning to the main hall, Liu Baiwei was still confused.

"Master, have you become the Marquis of Dinghai?"

"Ok!"

Guo An slowly unfolded the imperial edict and handed it to Liu Baiwei, saying proudly: "Sister, please see, Your Majesty has made me the Marquis of Dinghai. It is hereditary and can be passed on to that little brat Guo Shen.

In addition, Your Majesty also granted us a city of [-] households and [-] acres of fertile land!
There are also a hundred guards! "

"Eating thousands of households in the city?"

Liu Baiwei's expression changed, "Master, I have heard that none of the founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty had any land to live in!"

Guo An gave a bitter smile and said helplessly: "We don't want to accept it either, but His Majesty will give us a share of the city and seal it in Jiangning for us!"

"Jiang Ning?"

Guo Ang, who followed, was overjoyed.

Liu Baiwei, on the other hand, looked confused.

"Master, where is Jiang Ning?"

Guo Andao: "Jiangning is the Yiguo County of the capital!"

Liu Baiwei's expression became solemn, "Your Majesty actually gave me a seal in Jiangning. What does your Majesty mean by this..."

Guo Andao: "Sister, don't think too much, no matter what, Your Majesty will never harm us!"

"What the master said is very true!"

Liu Baiwei nodded slightly.

Guo An said to Guo Ang behind him: "Guo Ang, I am very happy today. Everyone above the steward will be rewarded with 20 taels of treasure notes, and everyone below the steward will be rewarded with [-] taels of treasure notes!"

"Thank you sir!"

Guo Ang was overjoyed.

"In addition, please send someone back to Peking as soon as possible to report the good news to your family!"

"Yes, sir..."

Soon, all the servants in the Guo Mansion each held a few treasure notes, their faces full of joy.

As for the two Yamen, each of them also held twelve taels of treasure money in their hands.

Both of their eyes were filled with disbelief that they could actually receive a reward.

Moreover, this made Guo Shaozhan just promoted to the rank of fourth-rank Shaozhanshi, and within half a year, he was actually directly named the Marquis of Dinghai?
How big an honor is this?

No matter what, the two brothers have climbed to the top!

Thinking about it, the two of them looked at each other and could see the excitement in each other's eyes!
……

"We always suspect that Guo Qing still has talents hidden in his belly that have not been revealed.

Just in time, Guo Qing was sealed in Jiangning and given a hundred Yanshan guards to protect Guo Qing, so that Guo Qing could safely govern his thousand households! "

In Fengtian Hall, Zhu Di explained to Zhu Gaochi who looked puzzled.

Zhu Gaochi looked surprised, "Teacher, does he still have some talent that he hasn't revealed yet?" "Humph!"

Zhu Di snorted coldly, "Although Guo Qing never hides anything from us most of the time, he is too cautious and too lazy. He only dares to reveal it when he is forced to do anything."

"..."

Zhu Gaochi looked in admiration, "Father, the Holy Ming!"

……

at the same time.

Guo Ningyi, an old minister of Prince Yan's Palace and the Young Master of Zhanshi Palace in the East Palace, Zhanshi Guo An, was just recalled from Peking and was awarded the title of Marquis of Dinghai by His Majesty. Even his wife, Liu, was also named the second-grade Imperial Lady. The matter began in the capital. spread the word.

The only remaining founding figures of the Ming Dynasty were okay. They had all experienced this kind of thing, and they just lamented Guo An's good luck in their hearts.

However, when they heard that His Majesty also granted Na Guo An a thousand food fiefs, and Na Guo An accepted it, everyone was dumbfounded.

Guo thief!

How dare you accept it?
At the same time, all the courtiers' eyes turned red with jealousy.

That was a prince of the world, and he was awarded the title of prince of the world near the capital. Why did Guo Thief get such a great honor?
moment.

One by one, officials came to see him filled with righteous indignation.

"How dare you? Guo Qing just improved the rice and increased the rice yield by [-]%. This is a great achievement for the country. Why can't he be made a marquis?"

"Your Majesty, you cannot be granted a title without military merit!"

"Exactly, Your Majesty..."

"Is it a military merit to capture Goryeo? Is it a military merit to capture the Japanese country? Is it a military merit to pacify the Japanese pirates along the coast for the Ming Dynasty?"

"..."

Only then did the jealous courtiers slowly retreat.

……

afternoon.

There was already a long queue of people giving gifts in front of Guo Mansion.

Guo Ang led a group of servants and accepted the gifts with ease.

Inside the Guo Mansion, everything was filled with joy.

but.

Inside the Jiangning County Government Office.

But it was full of sorrow.

Liu Wen, the county magistrate, was a Jinshi in the 24th year of Hongwu.

Since he was not from a famous family, it took him many years to reach the position of magistrate of Jiangning County.

However, although Jiangning County is at the feet of a saint, there are also princes and dignitaries above, plus Lao Zhu, a group of mothers-in-law who need to be carefully cared for. He is very frustrated as a county magistrate.

After finally getting rid of the majesty who liked to kill officials, the new king came to the throne. He had not been relieved for a few days when he was stunned by a palace order!
Want to find a thousand households in Jiangning for the newly promoted Marquis of Dinghai, and also find [-] acres of fertile land?

How can this be?

This is Jiangning, and all the fertile land around it is either the princes or nobles, or the gentry.

As for the food town for one thousand households, it is also difficult to find!

Okay, they have all been occupied by people from noble families.

However, by giving the Marquis Dinghai some poor food, wouldn't he have offended His Majesty's favorite minister again?

Just when Liu Wen was looking at the map with a headache, Dai Jiu, a clerk in the household, came over with a look of embarrassment and reported: "The county magistrate, the villain and others have checked, and only the area near Jiangjun Mountain can be found." Gather [-] farmers!

It just so happens that [-] acres of farmland can be freed there! "

"General Mountain?"

Liu Wen's face darkened, he stared at Dai Jiu closely and said, "Did you know that the terrain around Jiangjun Mountain is steep and the farmers are the poorest in Jiangning, and even the fields are the poorest!"

Dai Jiu's expression remained unchanged, and he raised his hands to Liu Wen and reported: "The county magistrate Ming Jian, Jiangning is the capital's base, and all the good farmland has been occupied by those nobles and aristocratic families.

Now, being able to find [-] acres of land for that Dinghaihou is already our biggest limit in Jiangning County! "

"Oh, that one is His Majesty's favorite!"

Liu Wen sighed softly and said helplessly: "That's all, wait until tomorrow, and we will report to the Marquis of Dinghai!"

“I’m sorry for bothering you, the county magistrate!”

Dai Jiugong, the clerk in the household, said respectfully.

As for whether Dinghaihou will be angry, what does it have to do with him?

……

The next day.

In the Dinghaihou Mansion, after Liu Wengong, the magistrate of Jiangning County, made a respectful report, Guo Ang's face suddenly turned very ugly.

Seeing this, Guo An felt something was wrong.

"Liu Zhixian, I wonder where Jiangjun Mountain is in Jiangning County?"

Liu Wen quickly took out the map and said to Guo An: "Report to Lord Marquis, Jiangjun Mountain is on the west bank of the Qinhuai River. King Wu Mu once fought against the Jin Dynasty here."

After saying that, Liu Wen quickly said apologetically: "Please forgive me, Lord Marquis. Jiangning is Yiguo County in the capital. I led a group of officials to search for a long time before they found such an area with exactly one thousand farmers." , and a treasure land of [-] acres of land!”

"Thank you for your hard work, Magistrate Liu!"

Guo An found the place Liu Wen mentioned on the map. There happened to be a place beside the Qinhuai River, and a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

As long as it's close to the river, it's good.

As for the quality of those farmers and fields, there is no need to think about it. In a place like Jiangning, there will definitely not be anything good left for him.

Seeing that Guo An did not make things difficult for him, Liu Wen felt relieved, thanked him, and left in a hurry.
