Chapter 226 Strange Reward
The two children went back to the house, sat facing each other, crossed their arms, closed their eyes and patted themselves on the shoulder.

Governor Cui arrived at Guiyunju.He smiled and said to Chen Fan: "This is the main residence of yours, visitors should come here first. But the adults are all in Su Garden, so it would be interesting to go to Su Garden later."

Zhang Ci smiled first: "The house is still too small, if these two places are in a big house, you won't think so."

Cui Jieshi was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud.

He looked at his son: "Your boy is happy these days."

Cui Yunlang replied solemnly: "I asked the adults for advice."

"Why do I not believe it so much?" Cui Jieshi didn't give face.

Dinner is served in Su Garden.Inspector Cui respectfully paid respects to all the adults, then put a stack of documents on the table, and began to report various situations in Gyeongju.

25 The weather on this day is quite comfortable, there is no wind, and it feels warm when the sun rises.Zhang Ci looked at the family and said solemnly: "Dress more formally today, there will be a distinguished guest at Guiyunju."

VIP?What kind of distinguished guest should be treated solemnly?
A carriage stopped at the door, and a man in his 40s came down and sang an announcement at the door: "The imperial decree has arrived——"

Qing Ji ran out the back door with a whoosh, running, not flying.

The whole family walked out of the house quickly, turned to the man below, and knelt down respectfully, together with Granny Zhou and Master Qiang.

Zhang Ci took the lead in addressing: "I have seen Mr. Xiao."

Everyone also followed suit.

Eunuch Xiao opened the imperial decree and read a series of words: "Chen Fan, a daughter of Yuanfeng County, is diligent and conscientious, gentle and caring for children, good at water conservancy, good at farming, opens terraces, breeds good seeds, presents high-quality grain to the court, and helps the common people. In recognition of his merits and expertise, Chen Fan is bestowed with the land of Changping Township and granted the title of Lord of Changping Township. I hope you will appreciate the Holy Grace, be diligent and trustworthy, and create a prosperous future. This is yours!"

Chen Fan digested it for a while, she was made a township lord by the court?Was also given land?
But why is it the township, and what does Changping Township mean?Is there an administrative level of township in this era?She had only heard of villages, counties, and states, not even towns.

Even though there was a saying in ancient times that "five households have one guarantee, one hundred households have one mile, and five miles have one township", but Shengping County, Yuanfeng County, and Guangyun County do not have the setting of "township".

Zhang Ci has already opened his mouth to thank: "Thank you, my lord, for your grace! Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Everyone followed suit.Eunuch Xiao shouted excuses, and everyone stood up.

Chen Fan accepted the imperial decree respectfully, and Zhang Ci handed a purse to Eunuch Xiao: "Eunuch, sit down and have a cup of tea."

Eunuch Xiao didn't say that the schedule was urgent, and he readily agreed.

Granny Zhou quickly brought the kettle, and Zhang Ci took out the tea set to make tea for Eunuch Xiao.

Xiao Gonggong joked: "This water is just right."

Zhang Ci smiled: "There are many children in the family, and they are usually boiling water at this time."

Eunuch Xiao took a glance: "Adopted so many children?"

The children lined up and introduced themselves.

Eunuch Xiao chuckled: "These children are all so good-looking, so lucky. Why are there two missing?"

Zhang Ci replied: "The third and seventh brothers went to see General Yan."

"Let the child take risks at such a young age? It's really worth it."

"Just follow along and have a look. It's an eye-opener and a courageous one. General Yan's deployment is strict, so how can they use it?"

"Aren't you afraid of being overwhelmed?"

"Both children are sensible, they won't run around, and won't make trouble."

Eunuch Xiao picked up the teacup, blew on it, and said, "The Holy Majesty has also bestowed many rewards. Let's go and see together later." After speaking, he took a sip of tea.

The Chen family got up and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"

The officials came over and greeted Mr. Xiao one by one.

Eunuch Xiao said it was a matter of business: "This time our family will come to read out the imperial decree, and it will disturb us for two days. At that time, we will go back to Beijing with all your lords."

Zhong Shuling smiled and said, "It's a great honor. Tomorrow, we will distribute the fine seeds to the southern rice-growing counties and counties, and we will have to work hard to supervise Mr. Xiao on behalf of the Holy Grail."

"Master Feng, you are being polite. Our family just happened to be here at this time, and we caught up with you."

A young eunuch entered the room, bowed to the adults, and handed a booklet to Eunuch Xiao.

Eunuch Xiao gave the booklet to Zhongshu Ling: "Master Feng, please have a look. The Holy Admiral gave all the villages, fields, mountains, forests and rivers in the area from Qijiadu, Kaiyun Village to the four disguised villages to Changping Township, and established Changping Township. "

Zhongshu Ling was not in a hurry to open it: "Although we have the title of Xiangjun in our dynasty, there is no setting for the level of township. How should we deal with various government affairs, household registration and land tax in Changping Township?"

The corner of Xiao Gonggong's mouth trembled: "As expected of Zhongshu Ling, I can think of so many things when I think about it. It's all in this booklet. You can take a look at it in the next two days."

He stood up: "Let's take a look at the reward together."

Two carriages had entered the yard.Although the villagers were curious, they only dared to surround them from a distance and discuss in low voices.

"Who is here again today? Those two carriages are more luxurious than the ones I saw before."

"Why does this Chen family always have distinguished guests?"

"If you can do so many things and build so many houses, your family will also have distinguished guests."

"It seems that the imperial decree has arrived today?"

"It seems so. I just walked to the west end of the village. That voice is so high-pitched that it can be heard from far away." He lowered his voice.

"I heard that in the palace..." He quickly closed his mouth.

A carriage is very long.Mr. Xiao said: "There is a plaque on this car, which was inscribed by the Holy Majesty himself. I won't take it down today, so as not to bump into it. Tomorrow, I will go directly to Another Crossing. Due to the rush of time, it is too late to build another one for the Lord of Changping Township. The mansion will be granted as the township monarch's mansion again. I also hope that Changping Township Lord will forgive me."

How dare Chen Fan not forgive, a group of people saluted together, thanking the Holy One for the plaque and words.

She hadn't thought about giving a seal.Giving food is a gift, a token of affection, and not too much. One hundred thousand catties is a trivial matter for the court.It seems that it is not a big deal to grow a high-yield rice, and it has not been widely promoted yet.

It seems to be too much of a reward to be a county lord, but it doesn't have to be granted.She also specially set up a township, which makes her look very different.

Eunuch Xiao pointed to a box: "This is a hundred taels of gold, which will be used for the early operation of Changping Township."

He pointed to the other ten red-lacquered wooden boxes and said, "This is a reward from the Holy Majesty and all the ladies."

Empress?Why did you get involved with the empress again?She doesn't seem to have anything to do with the empress in the palace.

Duke Xiao announced three titles: Empress Guifei, Empress Shu, and Empress Xian.
