Chapter 232 Reward

Haha, this guy is quite powerful. No one reported to the magistrate, but he started a petition from all the people. He has a big appetite.

Long Muchuan raised his eyes and glanced at the Jiangzhou prefect, who had been keeping his head down and looking obedient, and his face was shocked.

He hurriedly walked up to Pei Luoshu, his face showing a fear and confusion that he had never seen before.

"You, who are you?"

Pei Luoshu saluted calmly.

"Reporting to Uncle Ninth Prince, I am Pei Luoshu, the governor of Jiangzhou."

When Long Muchuan heard him calling him Uncle Ninth Prince over and over again, he became even more panicked.

Looks like it. Very similar.

But, that year, they all died.

Long Muchuan collected his thoughts and his usual carefree smile reappeared on his face.

"Master Pei, you look so much like an old friend of mine."

Pei Luoshu said seriously.

"This is my blessing."

Long Muchuan smiled.

"Congratulations to Master Pei on his promotion to the position of Associate Director of the Central Secretariat. We can still drink and chat happily together in Kyoto in the future."

"I am honored."

After Long Muchuan arranged for people to move in all the rewards, he prepared to leave.

After leaving, he turned around and looked back at the prefectural government office, with a meaningful look in his eyes.

He hooked his finger.

"master?"

"Go check the background of this deputy director of the Privy Council."

"yes."

Pei Luoshu looked at the imperial edict in his hand, without a trace of joy on his face.

He thought for a long time, then turned to Fu Feng and said.

"Go get some people to pack up, we are going to Beijing."

"What about the house here?"

"Of course we will keep it. Let's leave a few honest people to take good care of it. My wife and I will come back to live here anytime we have time."

He sat at his desk and wrote a letter to Chen Shiyi, telling her what had happened here and asking her to stay in Yuanzhou for the time being. He would send someone to pick her up in Kyoto after he had settled her there.

When Chen Shiyi received Pei Luoshu's letter, he was incredulous.

"How could this happen?"

Fu Da snorted coldly.

"Mr. Pei has made a thousand calculations, but he has not taken into account people's hearts. It is understandable that those people want high positions and generous salaries. Things must be made public, but they did not expect that it would lead to a petition by the people. To be honest, if you don't handle your reputation well, you may lose your career or even your life."

Chen Shiyi looked worried.

"He was extremely reluctant to go to Kyoto, but if he were given the choice again, he would still choose to dig the Blackwater Canyon."

"Wealth and honor are determined by fate, life and death are determined by God..."

Chen Shiyi simply stayed in Yuanzhou, where he took good care of his own business and waited for Pei Luoshu to settle all the affairs in Kyoto.

After waiting for a long time, I finally got news about myself.

Someone from the Duwei Mansion came to summon Chen Shiyi.

Several people looked at each other with serious expressions.

"It's probably from the last naval battle. Don't panic. It shouldn't be a big problem. Besides, you threw the whole ship in. Are they going to embarrass you?"

Chen Shiyi thought about it and it made sense.

On the way to Duwei Mansion with Fu Da, she met Shen Wuyang.

Shen Wuyang came over with a playful smile.

"Boss, great joy."

"What's the good news?"

"That old antique in the Duwei Mansion reported your merits to the court. I guess he should be rewarded now."

Chen Shiyi finally smiled.

"Shen Wuyang, this is the first time I like you so much."

Shen Wuyang glared at her.

Who is this?

Can you speak?

A smile also appeared on Fu Da's face.

"Your blessing is coming."

Unexpectedly, the Duwei Mansion was still busy sorting out the aftermath of the naval battle. She wanted to ask for some compensation, but she was not in a position to ask for it.

Unexpectedly, the Duwei Mansion was actually quite good. Instead of taking credit for his own achievements, he asked for rewards for himself.

I don’t know what to get.

Chen Shiyi still hopes to get something practical, such as gold, silver, jewelry, etc. Although they are a bit tacky, they are real and valuable wealth.

As soon as she entered the Commandant's Mansion, she was brought to the meeting room. The room was dim, simple and elegant. She could only see a middle-aged man with a strong aura, a beard and wolf-like eyes sitting on the main seat. There was a group of people standing beside them. The leader had a black crown on his head, and the ink rope tied to the black crown was tied in a knot under his chin. His eyes were shrewd, yet reserved and submissive.

Chen Shiyi didn't know who they were, so he quickly bowed to the middle-aged man sitting there.

"I am Chen Shiyi, the girl, and I am here to greet His Excellency the Commander."

The captain looked fierce, but his voice was extremely soft, even like a baby's.

"Are you Chen Shiyi?"

"yes."

"In the last naval battle, you were extremely brave and decisive. In order to prevent the enemy from escaping, you sacrificed a ship to cut off their escape route. You are truly a heroine."

Chen Shiyi was very excited.

Such a high evaluation?

Wouldn't the rewards be unimaginably great?

"This is our duty as a citizen of Daye."

"You are humble and fearless, and you have opened up a new sea route for Daye. You are truly a great contributor."

Chen Shiyi thought to himself, stop exaggerating, just tell me exactly how much the reward is. I am also thinking of adding some more and building another big ship.

"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief, for your compliment."

The man in the black crown next to him spoke in a shrill voice.

"Chen Shiyi received the order."

After hearing this, Chen Shiyi immediately knelt down and kowtowed in the hall.

"The Emperor, by the order of Heaven and the Mandate of Heaven, proclaims that Yu Yuan, also known as Chen Shiyi of the Dongjia, is brave and fearless, and has spared no effort to kill the enemy without fear of life or death. This is commendable, and he is specially named the county lord and given the title of Yongyi."

The man in the black crown finished speaking and waited for Chen Shiyi to receive his orders.

But Chen Shiyi, who was kneeling in the hall, was still waiting for him to tell him about the reward. After waiting for a long time, um, he finished talking?

"County Lord, please stand up and accept my order and express your gratitude."

Chen Shiyi raised his hand above his head and took the shining imperial edict.

She stood up, signaled to Fu Da behind her, and gave the man in the black crown a bag of silver.

The captain in front of him looked at Chen Shiyi with a smile on his face.

"You are a brave and courageous county lord. Women are just as brave as men. This is what you deserve."

Chen Shiyi muttered to himself, what have I got?

The title of a county lord can only limit one's own business in the future, after all, officials should not compete with the people for profit.

"The county lord seems to have some doubts."

Chen Shiyi asked respectfully.

"Sir, what is the county lord's request? You know, I am just a commoner and I don't know anything, such as salary and reward."

When the bearded captain heard this, he immediately knew what Chen Shiyi was thinking.

"This is just an imperial decree for the time being. You will have to go to the capital to see His Majesty and be personally commended by Him."

Chen Shiyi suddenly understood.

so it is.

"Yongyi County Lord, you are the fourth person to be named county lord in Daye's history. The others are either from families with meritorious service or daughters of princes or dukes. Only you, with your outstanding merits, have received this honor from a commoner. It is truly rare."
