Mingmen Family

Chapter 367 Give me a title?

"Exactly." Zhao Kun said, "I still plan to wait for Chen Zhen to successfully complete the transaction before raising this matter with the emperor."

"Success, when the news from Chen Zhen arrives, you guys make a note and give them the name of the Imperial Merchant."

Zhao Kun answered "Yes".

The imperial merchants are also divided into several levels.There is an official rank, and this official title can be hereditary, it is the fifth rank.Of course, there are also those who are not in the top ranks and have no official titles. Because of business relationships or interpersonal changes, the imperial court will not do business with you, and the title of imperial merchant will naturally disappear.

The original Meng Chengwei family belongs to the last category.

Zhao Kun didn't ask what rank was given to the Ye family.

The Ye family has done such a big business with the imperial court, so that the imperial court can earn several times more money than other imperial merchants.What's more, Ye's family is an exclusive business. No one else can do this black tea business.

There used to be tea in the tea-horse market, but the tea there was completely incomparable with Ye’s black tea.They bought dark tea from the Ye family at a price similar to Bian tea, but sold it at two or three times the price of Bian tea.As for dark tea, only the Ye family can make it, and no one else can make it. It can be seen that the Ye family is irreplaceable.

When tea comes out from the Ye family's tea hills next year, if there is an extra [-] catties of tea compared to this year, then the profit will be even greater.

If Dajin's business is doing well, maybe they can negotiate with the Ye family to add more tea.

Therefore, according to their rating standards, the Ye family can be ranked as the fifth-rank hereditary imperial merchant.He only needs to report Ye's family on the booklet according to this rule and it's over.If the emperor does not allow it, he will naturally give instructions on the booklet.

What's more, according to the meaning of the emperor and Prime Minister Yuan Zhengwei, because Mrs. Lu's tea is "given by the gods", it may give the Ye family more honor and convenience.

As soon as he came up with this idea, Chu Chang said again: "The Ye family is doing such a big deal with the imperial court, and they deserve the title of imperial merchant. Since Madam Lu was granted by the gods, she has a history. It is beneficial, and it is a sign of prosperity and auspiciousness, so it is not appropriate for the imperial court to say nothing about it. Please take a look, what kind of reward should I give her?"

In a monarchy, one does not directly make a decree when one makes a decision, but first reveals one's own meaning to close ministers, and then the ministers play it in the court. The ministers either oppose or agree, and finally form a decree.Only in this way will it not appear dictatorial, not a faint king and a tyrant.

The courtiers will also think about the meaning of the king when they play things.It is best not to mention things that embarrass the king, otherwise you will feel that you are too secure in this official position.

It was Yuan Zhengwei's idea to give Ye Yaming a reward.He didn't give Lu Zhongyong face, and he didn't have any personal relationship with Lu Guanyi, nor did he have any intersection with Princess Yuning and others.

He was purely the same as what Chu Chang said just now, he felt that since Ye Yaming had a history, maybe he was a god who came down to earth, and if the court didn't give him a reward, it would really be neglecting him.If the gods in the sky are dissatisfied, if there is a severe drought or flood, or a plague of locusts, wouldn't they be upset?
Anyway, it's just a reward, it doesn't cost money or rice, benefits don't cost, why not do it?
That's why he mentioned Ye Yaming repeatedly just now, and even talked about "blessings from the gods".

Now that Chu Chang understood what he meant, he said: "Now Lu Guanyi is a third-rank, and Madam Lu is a third-rank imperial order. It doesn't make sense to give her a low reward. Why don't you give her the name 'Mrs. Sicha'?" What do you think the emperor thinks about giving me a first-rank rank?"

The eldest princess and princess of the Jin Dynasty are all first-rank; the rank of the princess is second-rank.

For a woman who is not of royal blood, because of her outstanding contributions, the court made the empress dowager issue a decree to confer the title of princess, but never a princess.

And Yuan Zhengwei felt that with Lu Guanyi's talent, it's not impossible to be a first-rank official.At that time, the rank of "Mrs. Tea" will be meaningless.

And since the gods came down to earth, what's the matter with a first-rank princess, one level lower than the underground princess?Who do you look down on?It is better not to seal it.

If you want to seal it, you have to show some sincerity.It's just a name, so it's better to be more generous.

It has to be said that apart from his ability, Yuan Zhengwei became the prime minister because his brain waves were the most similar to Chu Chang's, and the two of them could always think of being together.

When Yuan Zhengwei said this, Chu Chang understood what he meant.

He nodded and said: "Aiqing's idea is good. There is no need to bring this matter to the court for discussion. When the news from Chen Aiqing's side came, when the Ministry of Households gave the name of the Ye family's royal merchant, I directly issued an order, Mrs. Feng Lu's 'Mrs. Sicha' will do."

There are many people in the court who are jealous of the virtuous and capable, and they have objections to Lu Guanyi's ranking in the third rank at a young age, and the origin of Ye Yaming's "goddess descending to earth" cannot be brought to light.It is really discussed in the court, and there are many people who oppose it. If this matter is refuted, then their good intentions will be completely ruined.

It's just a woman's award, not a major matter of the country, and it can be decided directly by the emperor, skipping the courtiers' discussion.

Yuan Zhengwei also meant the same thing.

He quickly said: "The emperor is wise."

Ye Yaming didn't know that the emperor and the prime minister were planning to reward her because of the rumors she let go.

She had been very comfortable during this time.

The child is taken by nurses and maids, and they are either eating or sleeping, and there is not much for her to educate. She will take care of it when she is free, and she can get away and do her own things when she has something to do.

In addition to moving, she attended Ye Yayin and Ye Yayu's engagement banquet, and she also attended several banquets hosted by Princess Yuning and others.I also went to Jixiang Pavilion a few times, drinking tea and chatting with good friends.

This is a completely different life from Lin'an.

In Lin'an, there is no social interaction at all, except for making tea and taking care of the baby at home.

Suddenly changing a way of life, it seems to return to the scene of drinking and drinking in the previous life, Ye Yaming is like a fish in water, but actually quite enjoys it.

"Muxiu the day after tomorrow, I'll take you hunting." Lu Guanyi suggested.

"Okay, okay." Ye Yaming's eyes lit up immediately, and then her eyes dimmed, and her whole body was also listless, "But I have to go hunting tomorrow afternoon, right? I have to stay outside for two nights .What about the child?"

"Isn't it enough to invite mother-in-law and two younger sisters to stay for two nights?" Lu Guanyi had already thought about it.

With a man's heart, he doesn't think it's inappropriate to throw the child to the nanny and maid.Anyway, Nanny Xia, Bairui, and Lue are all extremely loyal and reliable in their work.Ye Yaming took Ziyuan and Qingzhi with her when she went out, so she could entrust the child to them.

But Ye Yaming didn't think so.

Although she also went out to attend the banquet, she only went for half a day, and after half a day, she would feel restless, with the child in her heart, and she had to go home to take a look to be at ease.

She doesn't worry about the servant girl, but her mother and sister can rest assured, right?
