Chapter 526 Chang Yuan 6

She sighed, "In fact, I never told you my title because I was afraid that you would bully me."

"Your Majesty...has made me a duke."

Seeing the two disciples opening their mouths as if they had never seen the world, Xu Xinshu felt that she should have revealed something to them before. Who knew that these two little fools actually felt that they had no future under her tutelage.

Ah Luo muttered in a daze: "Brother, we are like the protagonist in the story. We met a strange old man on the road, and then surprisingly, we were accepted as his disciple. We thought he was just an ordinary old man, but it turned out that the master we worshipped was a great master."

Old man Xu Xinshu: "......"

She was so upset that she was about to have a cross on her head. It turned out that there were two different kinds of people sleeping in the same quilt, and both of them were quite annoying.

Before her disciples could say something to piss her off, Xu Xinshu interrupted them, saying, "I don't understand all this nonsense. My brother said that His Majesty gave me this high honor to set an example for others, so he held it high."

"The title of nobility is not distributed in bulk. Not everyone can have it. Only your eldest brother has obtained a county title."

"A few of the others were given virtual titles, and most of the others received silver and gold rewards."

She looked at the girl and thought for a moment.

"A Luo... I remember he was given the title of Tong Zhi Lang from the sixth rank."

"From the sixth rank?!"

Ah Luo repeated in shock.

In better counties, the county magistrate is only of the sixth rank!

So if she goes to the government office in the future, will she be able to get along well with the county magistrate and his brothers?

No, why did she go to the government office?

All of a sudden, all kinds of strange thoughts flashed through Ah Luo's mind as she tried to digest her shock.

The senior brother happily put his arm around her shoulders and shook her.

"Junior sister, you are much more powerful than your brother-in-law now! He is not even an assistant professor at the Imperial College."

Ah Luo was a little frightened when he realized what was happening.

"But, but I didn't do anything. I just listened to Master's words."

Xu Xinshu put her finger to her lips and sighed.

"I've said it before, you are useful to the country."

"Every little bit of progress you make saves thousands of people from starvation, but you just don't see it."

"But Her Majesty is clear about rewards and punishments, and she has seen all your contributions."

She has always been the child who rescued her from the Kong family seventeen years ago, and also the noble person who rescued countless people.

Being in a high position, a single move can affect the whole body.

The strings attached to her hands pulled so many numb puppets out of the mud that she couldn't even count or remember them.

If you want to close it, it is important to be discreet.

Her false image of stupidity really deceived many people, but fortunately she finally came clean.

After the repaired Xuan paper was finished, everyone nearby was excited.

Those who got the news were gossiping excitedly: "What is this? What is Tong Zhilang?"

"He is an official as high as the county magistrate."

"What! So big!"

By the time the news reached Ah Luo's mother's home, it had already been reported that she had become the county magistrate.

When his family came to ask about his situation, Ah Luo was speechless: “How is that possible?”

"Where did you hear this rumor? It's outrageous."

Sister Luo and her husband breathed a sigh of relief.

The most painful thing is when the sister whom you have always looked down upon suddenly becomes successful.

"I knew it. You don't even have any achievements. How can you be a county magistrate?"

Sister Luo reprimanded them earnestly, "I don't know where this rumor came from. If it gets out of hand and reported to the government, we'll be in trouble."

"This is impersonating an official, which is definitely a serious crime. Could it be that this information came from you, my sister?"

"Ah Luo, I know you have been vain and bad-behaved since you were young. But those were just minor incidents. If you do this now, you will really bring trouble to the whole family!"

"You should go and clarify this to everyone immediately, or your whole family will be killed by you!"

Now, the whole family looked at her with an unfriendly eye.

Ah Luo felt a little regretful. Why did he come out to meet this group of boring people? He was too lazy to pay attention to his sister's little thoughts.

She explained in a few words: "He is not a county magistrate, but a Tongzhilang of the sixth rank."

My mother’s family: “?”

! !

Brother-in-law Yu asked tremblingly: "What did you say..."

As soon as Ah Luo saw it, he knew that his achievement had hit his brother-in-law, who was always so arrogant.

Now, my already happy mood due to receiving the title became even more joyful!

I really don't understand, we are all educated people, why can some people respect others?

People like her brother-in-law look down on these peasants and don't even pretend to be nice.

Even His Majesty values ​​them, so how can a mere gentleman think that they are of low status?

Now she no longer doubts that it was her master who was coaxing her, but that these fools were just shortsighted!

Ah Luo was like a proud little swan, and replied to him: "It is a sixth-rank official, the same rank as a county magistrate."

"Maybe they misheard it, and passed it on until it became like I was the county magistrate."

Ah Luo took it for granted.

"My master said that the court attaches the most importance to agriculture and sericulture. What we are doing is to benefit the world and the people."

"No wonder after all this time, you are still just a gentleman."

"I am short-sighted. I think I am very high up because I have read a few words. I even look down on us."

"I have achieved the fame of Tong Zhi Lang through farming. Don't you, a teacher, have the same achievements?"

Seeing their pale faces, the long-standing depression finally eased.

......

To prepare for war.

After raising the status of agricultural talents, Bei Jingchu also planned to change the rules of distinguishing the nobles from the common people among scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans.
