The next day, after Zhu Yuan had breakfast and had just dealt with a small household chore, he received the 'good' news.

Got promoted again!

The newly promoted Hanlin bachelor of the fourth rank, who had just been promoted not long ago, went up one level and was promoted to the third rank of Hanlin bachelor.

This time, unlike before, there was a very formal edict.

It can be heard that it was written by Lao Zhu himself. It is very plain and full of praise. One of the sentences, "The knowledge he has presented is no less than the teachings of Confucianism" made Zhu Yuan extremely stressed.

The three immortals of Confucianism are: establishing virtue, establishing merit, and establishing reputation. This is the highest pursuit of countless devout Confucian students throughout their lives.

Although...

But just this sentence, how many old masters will be offended!

You can praise your ancestors, what are you doing to me?

Not only that, Lao Zhu also added a new official title to Zhu Yuan, deputy envoy of Taiyuan Hospital, ranking from the third rank, second only to the envoy of Taiyuan Hospital of the third rank.

God, please open your eyes.

I, a medical novice who has never read even half a page of a medical book, turned out to be the second-in-command of Tai Hospital, the highest medical institution in Ming Dynasty.

All right.

From now on, if we see anyone we don't like, we'll come to his home to treat him.

Deputy envoy of the Taiyuan Hospital personally appointed by His Majesty, you dare to say that the two kilograms of arsenic I prescribed will not work. You are not targeting me, you are targeting His Majesty the Emperor. Your thoughts are very dangerous!

In the living room of the mansion.

Zhu Yuan sent away Zhan Tong, another Hanlin colleague who came to convey the order. His thin body was nestled cross-legged on a thickly padded coat and a brown bearskin chair that looked like a sofa later. The old god was reading the attached book on the ground. A reward list.

He has always been promoted and made rich.

Now that you have been promoted, the rewards will certainly not be less.

The first is the generous investment of one hundred and twenty hectares of land.

According to the Ming Dynasty, one hectare is 100 acres, and one hundred and twenty hectares is equivalent to 12,000 acres. Of course, the land rewarded this time is relatively far away. It is in Suzhou. It is presumed that it was obtained by confiscating Zhang Shicheng and his troops. But it is conceivable that then The fields on the other side are definitely comparable to what Zhu Yuan had before.

After all, if Suhu is familiar with it, the world will be satisfied.

In the current troubled times, land is not valuable, but it is only relative.

Similar to a high-quality paddy field that can produce a good harvest of about two stones a year, Zhu Yuan felt that no matter what, it would still cost ten taels of silver per acre, which was equivalent to Lao Zhu rewarding him with 120,000 taels of silver at one time.

Secondly, he ordered a palace to be built.

I mentioned this yesterday, but to enclose all the more than 100 acres of land on this island, the exact cost is... hard to say.

Furthermore, there are fifty male and female servants each.

Haven’t watched it yet.

Compared with the first three items, there are all kinds of rare treasures of money and silk that are only briefly browsed, and at least tens of thousands of taels.

Tens of thousands taels!

Xiyi opened the curtain and looked around. He saw his little official sitting cross-legged and looking like he was wandering. He called out softly. When Zhu Yuan came to his senses, he walked in with Liu Bai behind him: "Little official, the reward given by your majesty, you Do you want to count it yourself?"

Zhu Yuan did not answer, but motioned to the table next to him. Liu Bai immediately stepped forward, poured the water, and delivered it to his junior official.

After taking a sip of warm tea and putting down the cup, Zhu Yuan looked at the list again. After a moment, he raised his head and sighed: "I'm just a child, why do I have to take on such a big responsibility?"

After sighing, he turned to the two girls who pursed their lips and said nothing: "Xi Yi, what do you think if I change my name to Zhu Parker?"

Freehand: "..."

The little official started again.

Zhu Yuan is not being pretentious.

These days, he also figured out one of Lao Zhu's characteristics: the more he gives you, the more he wants.

Lao Zhu does not do loss-making business.

Now, after giving so much at once, Zhu Yuan thinks that he will be worse off than the donkeys in the production team!

For example, in this list, there is one item that Lao Zhu has obviously not forgotten, and there are twice as many items as last time.

Two hundred dollars of paper of various colors.

Now it can fill a room.

Zhu Yuan was chatting with two girls when the curtain was opened again. Qingqiu came in carefully holding a piece of brocade, showed it to Zhu Yuan and said: "Young official, one of the servants fell down, this... is dirty."

Already."

Then he sent it to Zhu Yuan.

Zhu Yuan glanced at this brocade with a bright red background and fine gold flowers. One corner seemed to have been wiped, and there were still some less obvious traces of mud and water.

Feeling something special, I picked up the list again.

Before he could find it, Liu Bai had already whispered: "Your Majesty only gave you one piece of this golden Sichuan brocade."

Qingqiu whispered: "The chamberlain is kneeling outside."

Zhu Yuan put down the list, shook his head and said, "If it's dirty, just wash it off. What else can you do? I don't even want to wrap up such a good thing."

Qingqiu argued weakly: "It's wrapped. The oil paper on the outside is broken. Fortunately, there is a layer of linen between it."

"Go and get people up, just pretend it didn't happen," Zhu Yuan said impatiently. Thinking of another thing, he asked Qingqiu: "Send him off?"

This sentence made no sense, but the three women in the room suddenly had strange expressions.

Qingqiu lowered his eyes: "Send away."

Actually, I'm talking about Qingqiu's daughter.

Qingqiu brought it over after breakfast. Zhu Yuan was shocked and realized that he had miscalculated.

According to daily knowledge in the previous life, a woman around thirty years old usually had a child of five or six years old, ten years old at most. And a certain girl named Gao Green Tea... is sixteen years old this year.

Zhu Yuan felt bad at that time.

ask.

My stepdaughter is older than her stepfather, what should I do?

Waiting online.

After waiting for a minute, no one answered, so Zhu Yuan just asked Miss Gao to go back and forth.

After being sent away from Qingqiu, Zhu Yuan saw that Liu Bao still had a strange expression and glared at her: "What are you looking at? We are not Western barbarians who don't understand etiquette. We have fields of melons and plums, so we still have to avoid suspicion."

Liu Bai blinked: "Young official, I don't understand."

Zhu Yuan said: "I will find you a book of Western myths and stories in the future, and you will understand after reading it."

Liu Bai nodded: "Yeah."

But I couldn't help but think that it was impossible for the officials to drive the girl away because her feet were bound.

I just said it yesterday.

otherwise……

And the tall girl was reluctant to leave. She was still holding her mother's arm and crying when she got in the car.

Zhu Yuan glanced at Liu Bai's smart eyes and turned to Xi Yi: "Liu Bai is slandering me. Please help me think about how to punish her."

Freehand: "..."

In fact, I am also complaining.

Liu Bai gradually understood the temperament of his own little official. He was not afraid, and even "provoked" unconsciously: "Young official, your Majesty rewarded those... I saw that there are six of them with bound feet."

As she spoke, the girl raised her two delicate hands, five plus one, and raised six green onions.

Zhu Yuan threatened: "Besides, I'll wrap your feet too."

Liu Bai curved the corners of his mouth slightly and shrank his neck in response.

After a few more random words, he was about to send the two ladies away so that they could think about life quietly. Zuo Qi opened the curtain and said, "Young official, Mr. Dai, and Sun Yuan from the Taiyuan Hospital have arrived."

Zhu Yuan sighed.

Look, it's coming.

Let me introduce myself later: Hello everyone, my name is Zhu Maolv. Although the name is ugly, the character "Zhu" has a great origin. It is Zhu Yuanzhang's Zhu!

Just thinking about it.

In order not to scare everyone, forget it.

Here he agreed, and Zuo Qi quickly let Dai Sanchun, Sun Shouzhen, the chief of Taiyuan Hospital, and a few others in.

Zhu Yuan stood up, and first solemnly thanked Sun Shouzhen and others for their life-saving grace, and also expressed his congratulations to Dai Sanchun. Zhan Tong just mentioned by the way that Dai Sanchun was promoted from the eighth-grade imperial doctor to the fourth-grade doctor.

A colleague from Taiyuan Hospital.

Obviously, Lao Zhu wanted Dai Sanchun to cooperate with him in developing new medicine.
