Emperor Ming Yan conferred the title of county earl on Su Ji, granted him ten hectares of fertile land, and gave him a plaque with the words "Save the world and save people".
Tang Shiyue was conferred the title of county lady, granted three hectares of good land, the words "Enfu" and countless jewels.
A monument was erected at Changshoupo, and a local scholar wrote an article to record the event, and a "Good Doctor List" was established. All the doctors who participated in this event will have their names engraved on it, leaving their names in history.
Even Jubao Village, as the source, will erect a stone tablet at the entrance of the village: "The Land of Blessings".
Tang Shiyue knelt on the ground to receive the order.
Although she didn't quite understand the compliments at the beginning, she understood the latter part.
Everyone who participated in this matter was rewarded handsomely, and she even got the title of County Lady? Enfu County Lady?
Su Ji was a retired imperial physician who had once been a third-rank official. But the county earl was a title of nobility! Although it could not be inherited, it was a fourth-rank title! The land granted was also a permanent land, which could be passed down to future generations.
The county lady was of the fifth rank, and County Magistrate Lin had to pay his respects to her when he met her.
According to modern calculation, one mu of land is equal to more than 600 square meters, and one hectare of land is equal to 100 mu, and three hectares of land is 300 mu... Wow! She is rich, rich. If she had known earlier, she would not have asked around to buy the 30 mu of land!
...
...
The most important thing is that she is the Lady of "Enfu" County, and Jubao Village has erected a monument with the words "The Land of Blessings". This is simply an official stamp to confirm her identity as "Lady Fu".
What are the emperor and the prince planning?
Tang Shiyue didn't know about the smallpox incident. Emperor Ming Yan was deeply hurt, so he showed special favor to her. She just thought that the emperor was really generous.
After the decree was announced, gifts were delivered one by one. It was a lively occasion when suddenly there was another round of beating of gongs and drums, and someone shouted from afar: "Tang Shirong from Jubao Village won the first place in the Ganlin Prefecture's examination in the eighth year of Mingyan!"
Another first place case!
This is the real double happiness!
The eunuch who announced the decree had already been rewarded by the discerning Second Young Master Meng, and he also respected Madam Fu, so he was not in a hurry. Instead, he watched with a smile. The group of people who came to announce the good news shouted all the way, and when they ran closer, they noticed the ceremonial procession here and were a little dumbfounded.
Tang Shiyue quickly instructed Qing Weiliao and the head of the village to help with the reception. She, Su Ji and Meng Yiqiu continued to receive the eunuch who announced the imperial decree.
The eunuch was very happy to get another reward. When everyone was about to leave, he heard another piece of gossip. He heard that the third place winner was also from her family. He was Fu Madam's brother-in-law and Xu Wenqu's disciple, named Huo Qiyang.
So when they returned, Emperor Ming Yan asked about it, and the eunuch just told the story to please him.
Emperor Ming Yan was surprised: "Oh? Her brother is only fifteen years old? Two first place winners? And the younger uncle is only six years old?" He smiled and nodded: "Yes! It's rare! It's really a place where blessings gather, and talented people come out."
In his opinion, "luck" is something that is unconventional, but getting the first place in the imperial examination is the right way.
Emperor Mingyan joked, "The master got four yuan, so the apprentice should at least get three yuan!"
When the eunuch went out, he naturally told his master Gu Jiuxing these words.
Since the emperor wants to see Xiao Sanyuan, Gu Jiuxing must keep it in mind and will naturally tell the people who should know it when the time comes.
If Tang Shirong were here, he would probably feel that his victory was unfair. However, where there are people, there is politics. When the imperial examination reaches the stage of the academy examination and the provincial examination, it is not just about the quality of the essay.
When the prince heard that the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict had returned, he found an excuse and walked slowly towards the imperial study.
On the way, he met the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince. When they saw him, they all bowed their hands and greeted him with great respect.
The prince just smiled and nodded.
The two five-year-old kids seemed to understand what was going on. After the greetings, they started playing with each other and walked away. I could vaguely see that they were fighting over a six-sided revolving toy that he had brought back.
The Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince did not have a good relationship before, but there was only one person who could turn the Six Sides, and the Seventh Prince was very curious, so he took it down and never put it back up. Then the Eighth Prince shared this little gadget, and their relationship became better.
Six-sided Rotating is the name Tang Shiyue gave to the Rubik's Cube, because the word "magic" is unlucky and not suitable as a name for a child's toy. Six-sided Rotating and Huarong Dao had been made before the epidemic, but they had not been sold in time. When the prince left, Tang Shiyue gave him a few.
The prince walked slowly, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.
Isn't "Tang Shiyue" just like a toy he shared with his father? His father also thought it was fun, so he often communicated with him.
He had never thought that his father could be so childish before, but these days, this matter has indeed often become a topic of conversation between father and son, as if it had become a little secret and tacit understanding between the two.
He was used to it, so when he heard that the eunuch who delivered the imperial eunuch had returned, he found an excuse to come over.
Isn't this the same as the Seventh Prince sharing his toys with the Eighth Prince?
Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Then, a lazy voice asked, "Brother, what are you so happy about?"
The curve of the prince's mouth remained unchanged as he turned his head and glanced at him.
The Third Prince came over slowly, bowed hastily, and then teased with a smile: "I heard that the emperor conferred the title of county lady on that commoner girl. I guess my elder brother must have said a lot of good things for her."
The prince smiled and said, "Third brother, do you think her contribution in saving tens of thousands of lives is not enough to be a county lady?"
"Save tens of thousands of lives?" The Third Prince chuckled, "Brother, you really know how to flatter her! How can this be considered her achievement? This is clearly the achievement of Mr. Su."
"Third brother is right," the prince said with a smile, "She, Mr. Su and dozens of doctors all contributed."
The third prince narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I heard that although this young lady is not yet 18 years old, she is very beautiful and blessed by heaven. She is a blessed person. What do you think, elder brother?"
The prince was too lazy to pay attention to his indirect criticism: "Third brother is right."
Seeing that he was unmoved, the Third Prince's face turned even colder, and he continued, "I heard that you, Big Brother, knew this young lady when you were investigating the people's sentiments. The White Dragon and Fish Suit is also a good story. Why don't you just take her over?"
The prince asked: "Where should I receive it?"
The third prince choked. Seeing that he was pretending to be confused, the third prince sneered and simply stopped talking. He thought, you don't admit it, right? It's best if you don't admit it. I will make you regret it too late!
The two entered the imperial study, and Emperor Mingyan asked, "Why did you come here together?"
The prince smiled and said, "I met my third brother at the door."
He took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeve: "This is the latest issue of Qinzhou's 'Wild Goose News'. My son thinks it's quite interesting."
Emperor Ming Yandi took it and took a look. Previously, the wild goose reports were mostly about epidemic reports and various kinds of smallpox knowledge. Now that the epidemic was over, it became a message about the popularization of various knowledge about spring sowing, such as how to increase the yield and how to save manpower. It was also illustrated with pictures and text, so even an illiterate person could guess the general idea.
In another corner, there was an "advertisement" saying that Yuefang's industry collected rare seeds from all over the place. As long as they were not commonly seen in the world, they would buy them all as long as they were brought over.
It also states in small print that any business in this area can contact a certain department in the county government and pay a certain amount of money to advertise.
It is very simple, and not at all literary, but it is quite interesting.
