The Lu family is overjoyed

After Wang De and others left, Lu Xiu realized what he was doing and immediately looked at Lu Yaoyao excitedly.

"Yaoyao, what's going on?"

"Why was he suddenly knighted?"

"And he's still an earl, this and this"

He was a little incoherent. Not only Lu Kang and others beside him were also nodding their heads. At this time, they also had question marks on their foreheads.

This surprise is really great.

You must know that the Lu family is just a family of merchants, and it is not that kind of big merchant. In this strict hierarchical ancient society, the level is too low.

Later, it was because of Lu Yaoyao, Princess Wanfu, that the Lu family experienced some changes.

But there are only a few. After all, Lu Yaoyao is a woman. Although she can continue to take care of the Lu family once she gets married, it cannot change the fundamental hierarchy of the Lu family.

It's different now, it's Mr. Lu who has been knighted.

Although Emperor Hongwen only gave him three generations of hereditary inheritance, this also fundamentally promoted the Lu family from a low-ranking merchant to a powerful person.

Three generations of time are enough for the Lu family to use this status to do many things. Even if they lose the title in the future, their level will be completely different.

How could they not be excited when a family's fate changed like this?

Looking at Mr. Lu again, his hands holding the imperial edict were trembling, and there were tears in his weathered eyes.

This was his lifelong dream. He originally thought that he would train his son since he was not capable, but it turned out that his son was not capable either, so he could only place his hope on his grandson.

Then Lu Yaoyao came out, which made him very satisfied. With her as the princess, and with such a deep relationship with her family, she would always find opportunities to support her brothers and sisters in the future.

He no longer intends to pursue more. After all, he is already old. He does not intend to worry too much about what will happen to his children and grandchildren in the future.

I never thought that such a big surprise would suddenly come to me.

"Grandpa, you."

"Yaoyao, your grandpa is happy. It's okay. Don't worry."

Lu Kang said with a smile.

"Yes, grandpa is happy, very happy."

Mr. Lu nodded repeatedly and then said, "Yao Yao, what you have done for the Lu family will be kept in my heart by grandpa. It is not just grandpa who should remember it."

After saying that, he paused and looked at his eldest son Lu Xiu, then continued: "Boss, go and invite all the elders of our Lu clan here immediately."

"Such a great happy event, everyone must be happy together."

Lu Xiu smiled and nodded quickly.

That day, all the elders of the Lu family gathered together. When everyone heard Lu Xiu say this, they were extremely excited.

This is the honor of the whole family.

"That's the way it is. It can be said that I have such an opportunity all because of Yao Yao."

"She is a great contributor to our Lu family. I invited you here because I have a suggestion. After Yao Yao has made such a great contribution to our Lu family, should she leave a mark on the family tree?"

Almost all the elders of the clan did not think too much about it. Such a great contribution should be remembered by future generations.

"This must be done. Even if you don't say it, clan leader, it should be the case."

"Yes, there is no need to discuss this matter, I agree directly."

Mr. Lu was very satisfied with the reaction of the clan elders.

In ancient clans, the status of women was relatively low. Usually there was not much description in the genealogy, and many just left a name.

Some of the women who got married didn't even have names, they were just given a certain surname.

Being able to leave a strong mark on the family tree is a kind of recognition for a woman, and it is a very high level of recognition.

Usually, those who could do this were only men who had great fame in the past.

After everyone celebrated, at nightfall, all those left behind were those directly from Mr. Lu's lineage.

Lu Yaoyao also stayed.

"Yaoyao, you made a very good decision to hand over the salt mine."

"It's not just that you used this in exchange for the title of grandpa, but this salt mine is not something that we people can touch."

Things like salt mines are important resources for the country and directly support the income of many countries.

It is not a benefit for them to hold such a thing, but a disaster.

Just like the Han family, although they seem to be developing very fast and have a lot of wealth, there is always the danger of genocide.

That is to say, Emperor Hongwen still has many constraints. Once he frees his hands, the Han family will definitely bear the brunt of being exterminated.

"Grandpa, of course I know this very well. The emperor originally wanted me to stay."

"Let me tell you directly, I don't want to be the second Han family. Don't worry, I have made it clear to the emperor."

"We, the Lu family, will just run a small business and won't make things difficult for the country."

"In this regard, you will have to take more responsibility and restrain the family in the future. Don't cause some scandals just because the family is different now."

“If a family wants to prosper, it’s not about letting others see how powerful the family is, but it’s about keeping a low profile and keeping a low profile.”

Her words made Mr. Lu, Lu Kang and others nod their heads.

Making a fortune in silence is the way to go. The more people enjoy themselves, the more dangerous they are.

"Don't worry about this matter, grandpa knows it well."

"In the past, there were few rules in the family. Let's discuss it with the clan elders and the heads of the families some other time. You should also come over and let's formally establish the family rules together."

Lu Yaoyao nodded.

She did not return to Chengyuan Villa that day, but stayed at the Lu family's house.

On the other side, the manager of the Han family has also quickly sent the snowflake salt production method obtained from Lu Yaoyao back to Hedong.

Many days later, the Han family in Hedong produced the first batch of snowflake salt according to the method.

But they were not happy at all.

Why?

Naturally, it’s because the method of purifying snowflake salt is so simple.

With such a simple method, 40% of the salt mine resources were taken away from them.

How can you be happy?

For this reason, the head of the Han family got very angry at the workers in the Han family salt mine.

It's a pity that it's useless to get angry. The matter has come to this, and they just hope that things will go smoothly in the future.

The Han family's snowflake salt came out, but after paying so much price, they urgently needed to make money quickly, so they sold the snowflake salt in areas that were not covered by the court's snowflake salt.

The price is higher than that of the imperial court, and channels from various countries have been opened. Although they can't make a big deal about it, such good salt also allows them to make a lot of money.

As soon as the income from the first batch of salt came back, the depressed mood of everyone in the Han family eased a little.

However, before they had time to be happy, a letter came from the Duke of Zhen.

Now Zhen Guo Gong also controls 10% of the salt mine resources. Now that the imperial court has produced snowflake salt, the Han family also has it, and Zhen Guo Gong is gone.

The two families took action together, but the road to Zhen Guogong's green salt was completely blocked.
