The wind and snow were blowing, and people knelt on the floor of the Lin family's new house from the inner courtyard to the main gate. Everyone was wearing a layer of white clothes.

The gentleman from Zhizhou continued to recite: "It is a blessing for the people of the Great China Dynasty to have such talents. Such people who serve the people and the country have made indispensable contributions. I specially give them the title of model for the people. I will personally carry the plaque and give you a thousand taels of silver." , a thousand taels of gold, a thousand acres of fertile land in Linjia Village, lifelong tax exemptions, and gifts, a box of jewelry, ten pieces of cloud brocade yarn..."

Following Lord Zhizhou's broad voice, the yamen servant outside the door brought in a box of things and plaques, and placed them neatly in the open space on the right.

Jiang Yan raised her eyes and took a quick look at those things. The gold-plated plaque with flying dragons and phoenixes and vigorous calligraphy was particularly obvious.

"Among them, the Lin family brothers led the whole village to work together for planting and research, and were rewarded with a thousand taels of silver. The whole Lin family village worked together to advance and retreat together. I am very relieved that they can work together in such a natural disaster and appreciate the fertile land of Lin family village. Thousand acres,..."

Hearing this, the whole village couldn't help but widen their eyes!

Especially the village chief and Li Zheng, both of whom were so excited that they could hardly kneel down! Tears fell on the spot.

When the imperial dynasty came to reward them before, they had really made some contributions and helped. But this time, they just wanted to have a better winter for their family.

Even taxes were not paid on this batch of late rice. Now not only is the food available, but it is also a free reward from the emperor!

The one thousand acres of fertile land is not important. What is important is that the emperor personally awarded this thousand acres of fertile land to their Linjia Village. This is the first of its kind in the entire Linfang County and even in several surrounding counties!

Everything happening now is because of Aunt Jiang. Thinking of this, the two middle-aged men couldn't help but look at each other. The moment their eyes met.

They don't care about granting titles, and they don't understand what level of officials they should be, but they know the meaning of the sentence that the dynasty will pay Aunt Jiang every six months!

"That's good, this reward is real." Jiang Yan's eyes lit up. Although she didn't mind kneeling down to an official, she felt it was quite awkward every time. It would be best if it was inexpensive.

Fang Tang smiled flatteringly and his attitude became more and more groveling. Even so, he naturally took the money from Jiang Yan.

"Don't worry, Madam Jiang. The emperor said that your rank will be calculated according to the eighth rank. Because Madam is in Linjia Village, future salary will be distributed every six months. At that time, the imperial court will issue the salary to the local county, and then the county will appoint people. Send it to Linjia Village."

After the master from Zhizhou finished reading the edict, he immediately smiled and carefully asked Jiang Yan to get up. Jiang Yan was now a titled person, and he was not someone who could be kneeled down by a small official who was delivering edicts.

Jiang Yan was also unambiguous, and quickly took out five taels of silver from her arms and handed it over, "Thank you for running away from me, you are so careless and disrespectful."

Magistrate Li intervened at the right moment, his voice high-pitched, not only for Jiang Yan, but also for the villagers of Linjia Village.

If salary is not equal to money, then Aunt Jiang is now just like County Magistrate Li, an official who eats from the imperial court... isn't she an old official?

Even according to County Magistrate Li, Aunt Jiang's position is more important than him...

!!

Oh my god! What did they hear just now?

The villagers looked at each other, and the one at the forefront moved his body carefully without any trace, just to hear the adults' words more carefully.

"I am also very pleased with the detailed explanation of late rice written by Jiang Wen. The pictures and texts are coordinated with each other. It is very detailed and easy for the people to understand. I have ordered people to reprint it overnight. It will be popularized in various places in the near future. I will reward you with a thousand taels of silver.

, as a commendation, I admire this!"

Fang Tangwan smiled and refused. He had to rush back to the palace to reply, but he was robbed by bandits on the way there. He was already delayed for a long time, but he couldn't stay too long.

When they heard that Aunt Jiang was now an official and would receive a salary every year, everyone immediately exploded, and several younger ones even exclaimed in surprise.

"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor..."

They all lamented that they had firmly chosen to believe in Aunt Jiang, otherwise not only would there be no late rice for the winter, let alone these rewards...

"Mrs. Jiang, you are very polite. It is my great honor to come here and meet Mrs. Jiang, who has contributed so much to our country. I would like to thank you below. Madam, just call me Xiaofang."

Finally, I looked at Jiang Yan's family in disbelief. The Lin family received a thousand taels of gold and a thousand taels of silver. Lin Dong and the others also received a reward of silver. The total amount was an amount they could not imagine in their lives.

The two of them are now familiar with each other, and County Magistrate Li naturally discovered Jiang Yan's thoughts. He smiled and said: "The title given by the emperor does not say what rank you are in, but those who have the title must be no less than the eighth rank."

"Lord Fang is joking. You have come a long way, and it's snowing heavily today. Why don't you rest for a while in a humble house, so that I can enter into the friendship of the landlord."

When the adults from Zhizhou said goodbye and stood up, the whole village raised their heads and looked with hot eyes at the several large boxes that were being carried into the Lin family one after another.

Jiang Yan took the lead and led the whole village to kneel in gratitude.

The Lord Zhizhou took several deep breaths and finally finished reciting the imperial edict.

Everyone's eyes were hot, and everyone was excited. Some of them had never seen gold in their lives. This time, thanks to Aunt Jiang's blessing, their eyes were opened.

Sugar Cube made a bow with his hands, and while talking, he took out Jiang Yan's official rank document, and his movements were even more careful and careful.

The villagers began to become restless, and some could no longer suppress their excitement and began to whisper to the people behind them.

"Sister-in-law Jiang... no, no, it's Mrs. Jiang. Now you also have a title. Although it is not a formal official rank, you are still the same official. When you see me, a small county magistrate, you don't need to kneel down.

"

The villagers imitated what the storyteller said, lying on the snow and shouting loudly. The cold snowflakes melted into biting cold water after contacting the heat on their skin. Even so, they still could not stop the whole village from this moment.

The blood boils.

Jiang Yan was quite surprised when she heard this. She thought that the emperor would just give him a plaque and that would be it. After all, in this era, the emperor's pen and ink were more precious than gold, although it was of little use to her.

But now she can rely on this to earn a salary from the court. To put it bluntly, she is receiving the state's subsistence allowance. Even if her business cannot continue in the future, she can still rely on the subsistence allowance for her old age.

There is no need to kneel down before the county magistrate. Among the people, the biggest official she sees is the local county magistrate.

Jiang Yan's smile became more sincere, and she waved her hand: "Master Fang, it's better to go inside and do some things. It's windy and snowy outside..."
