For Sun Shirui, the title of Daizhou Bo was the first title approved by the emperor, and it only took three days.
Residences, farms, and rewards are all available.
No one would believe it if the queen didn't push it.
Sun Shirui could only go to the palace to thank him.
With the earl in hand, it can be passed down no matter what. After all, it is still a title.
The emperor was not here, so he, his younger brother Sun Shining, the queen, Sun Damiang, the prince, and the princess were eating happily.
"Brother, although the earl is a little younger, he is still graced by the emperor. In the future, our family will also be noble. Needless to say, there is no need to talk about dignity, but we must not be high-profile."
Sun Xueniang solemnly ordered.
Sun Shirui naturally knew it, and nodded quickly: "That's what I have in mind. I also plan to resign as an official in the vassal academy. It is not suitable to be appointed as an earl."
"That's good." Sun Xueniang smiled: "I feel relieved that you are so calm and prudent."
"Shi Ning, you are almost fifteen!"
On the side, Sun Shining sat obediently, eating his food, for fear of offending someone.
"How's your studies going?"
Before Sun Xueniang could ask, Sun Damiang on the side directly interrupted, grabbed his ear, and asked fiercely.
"It hurts -" Sun Shining had never expected this hand. His mind was in chaos, thinking of how to make up an excuse for not doing well in school. The pain in his ears immediately made him burst into tears.
Sun Shining, who lost his father when he was young, lived a happy life since he was a child because he relied on a good brother-in-law, but he became an ordinary young man.
This made Sun Xueniang and Sun Damiang hate iron.
"Your father is a Jinshi, and your brother is also a scholar. If you can't even be a scholar, I will ask the emperor to send you to the martial arts hall."
Sun Damiang was not vague and threatened directly.
"No, no, second sister, please spare my life, I don't want to go to the martial arts hall!"
Sun Shining thought about how when he was at Yuquan Mountain, he saw those officers who went out to drill every day and worked from dawn to dusk for training, and his eyebrows immediately furrowed.
If the dignified young master of the Sun family fell into this situation, wouldn't it mean that he should die?
"Become a scholar, and then become a supervisor, and then I will be arranged to be a clerk or an official in the sixth room of the county government."
As the eldest brother, Sun Shirui had gone through that troubled time and was able to see things clearly. He glanced at his younger brother and directly arranged:
"It's not bad to follow the rules for twenty or thirty years and finally become a magistrate and become an official."
"Ah? How high is the prefect's rank?"
Sun Shining sat firmly and got rid of his sister's control. He was extremely puzzled: "It takes twenty or thirty years to become the governor, why do you go to all this trouble?"
"The prefect is the fifth grade." Sun Xueniang knew more about it, so she said: "You are in the capital, at the feet of the emperor, and the people who come and go are all high-ranking officials and dignitaries, but locally, the prefect is in charge of several counties and millions of people. people."
"Don't be dissatisfied. If your surname hadn't been Sun, ordinary people would have climbed to the magistrate level and just walked around in circles."
Sun Guorui said calmly: "If you want to join the army, you can start from the martial arts hall. When you earn a family fortune, you will be much better than the earl we inherited."
Sun Shining opened his mouth, but in the end he was still discouraged.
Although he is young, he is certainly not stupid.
After the recovery of Liaodong, there were basically no major battles in the world. Although the Count was small, he was beyond his reach.
At the end of the banquet, the two adults of the Sun family also received rewards from the Queen, including various amounts of gold, silver, silks and satin, as well as some good things that were personal to them.
Obviously, the queen is considerate of her brother.
"Sister, why are your eyes red?" Sun Damiang looked at her sister, walked over and comforted her.
"I'm so happy."
Sun Xueniang wiped the corners of her eyes and laughed: "When dad passed away, our family almost collapsed. Now it has been rebuilt, the reputation has been restored, and the Sun family has become a noble family. This is really a good thing..."
The family had a successful family dinner, but the emperor did not participate.
In fact, as for the title of the Sun family, according to tradition, it would definitely be a title given to a relative.
However, Zhu Yixi still believed that non-military merit could not be awarded a knighthood, so he could only improve it and make up for it with posthumous gifts.
The so-called increasing the prince's power was not his original intention.
The real function is to appease the queen and reward Sun Chuanting for his promotion.
"Family!"
Zhu Yixi looked at the memorial in his hand and sighed.
Although the Sun family's lineage is in Daizhou, it no longer has much relationship with Sun Shirui and the others. In the huge Daizhou uncle's house, there are only a dozen people, men, women, old and young.
And their Zhu family has multiplied in the past three hundred years to a huge number.
Wars, massacres, plagues, and other disasters have greatly reduced the number of clans. Now, with the stability of the world, many anonymous clans have begun to show their faces.
The princes had previously been compensated, and the titles they received could be hereditary in descending order, but instead of being knighted by all other princes, it became hereditary.
Although it is a bit unkind, in the end, it recognizes their interests.
But this only temporarily solves some problems, and the follow-up ending is far away.
And those county princes are extremely large in scale.
There are twenty people in the Qin King lineage alone, and the Zhou King lineage, for example, is even exaggerated to seventy or eighty princes.
The total number of princes and counties in the world exceeds a thousand.
The Ming Dynasty has been restored and the world has become stable. Their interests must be promoted.
Moreover, there are some old cases, such as Jianshuren, Wushuren, Ningwang Clan, etc. They all want to overturn the case and restore their former wealth.
According to their understanding, the Yan clan fell and the Qin clan took over, so they naturally had to rearrange their arrangements.
Prince Rui, who was in charge of the Zongren Mansion, also became busy and raised his head anxiously.
In desperation, he could only leave all these to the emperor.
The emperor was also upset and handed it over to the cabinet.
The cabinet’s advice is:
The crown prince of the county can be given the lowest rank of lieutenant in the country, and he can be given fifty dan of food every year to support him and allow them to offer sacrifices.
Other titles will not be recognized.
In other words, they are classified as civilian households and can freely join the army, do business, and take the imperial examination without any restrictions.
Even, the clan was directly expelled.
Due to the war, most of the clan's land became wasteland and was confiscated by the court.
Therefore, the imperial court also decided to compensate. Thousands of acres of land were set aside in Liaodong, Shaanxi, and Gansu. Anyone who dared to go there would be given it by the imperial court.
Good guy!!
Seeing this, Zhu Yixi was also stunned. This was preparing them to enrich the frontier!
His fingers clicked on the playbook, and a line of numbers on it was extremely dazzling:
One hundred and fifty-eight thousand, three hundred and twenty-six people—
It took five years for the clan mansion to find the number of people according to the roster.
