It's a nice day today, the sun is hidden behind the clouds, and there's a cool breeze blowing from time to time.
Zhang San took a cattail leaf fan and lay down in the yard to rest. The attack was a little fierce last night, and the hard work in the past few days made Zhang San feel sore and weak when he woke up today.
Zhang San secretly drank a bowl of Sun Simiao's medicine. He didn't know how Li Shimin was able to keep busy with so many wives.
Zhang San has set an exercise plan for himself. If he doesn’t strengthen his exercise, how will he enjoy the blessings of being together in the future?
News came from Sun Simiao that after the efforts of all parties in recent times, the epidemic in Lantian and Wugong has been controlled, and many patients have completely recovered.
Now patients at the isolation point are being cured every day, so Zhang San no longer has to transport supplies here.
…
"Lantian and Wu Gong were able to curb the spread of the epidemic so quickly this time and reduce the casualties of the people. That boy Zhang San can be said to have made the first-class contribution. How do you think we should reward him this time?" Li Shimin asked every day.
Paying attention to the news from Lantian and Wugong, I also know that if it hadn't been for Zhang San this time, not only would many people in Lantian and Wugong have died, but even Wannian County would not have been spared.
The free clinics and publicity activities carried out by Zhang San in the villages of Wannian County can be said to be successful. Those patients with malaria symptoms were treated in advance, and the disease was nipped in its infancy.
In the Zichen Palace, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and others also had a headache when they heard Li Shimin's question.
Zhang San made a great contribution this time and found a cure for malaria, which can be said to be a great achievement.
It's just that this kid is already a county prince, how else can he be rewarded?
Duke?
Forget it, no one dares to think about this. If you become a prince at such a young age, will people like you still have to live?
In order to avoid danger, Fang Xuanling naturally found it inconvenient to express opinions.
Li Shimin saw several people discussing and discussing, but they didn't come up with an explanation.
Li Shimin was very confused about how to reward Zhang San. He thought that the pumpkin that this boy found last time was presented by Xie Yun, so he didn't give him any reward.
The State Commercial Bank was originally just an idea, but when it was handed over to Zhang San, the State Commercial Bank is now about the same as making money every day.
Li Shimin was even more excited when he saw the development plan for the next five years of China Commercial Bank presented by Li Tai last time.
The Sun and Moon Building is also under exploration, design and preparation for construction.
Now Zhang San not only killed the epidemic in Wannian County before it took hold, but also successfully cured malaria.
Of course, the person doing the treatment was not Zhang San, but if it weren’t for the supplies provided by Zhang San, I don’t know how many people would have died from this epidemic.
And his brochure gave Li Shimin a lot of inspiration, and he will have a template when encountering such things in the future.
However, because of Zhang San's military exploits and his contribution of gunpowder, a powerful tool for opening up territories, Li Shimin overcame all objections and made Zhang San a Marquis of the County.
But now that this kid has made merit again, how will he reward him?
"Keming, can you tell me your opinion?" Li Shimin asked Du Ruhui, hoping that he could come up with an idea.
"The Marquis of Zhang County has made great achievements this time, so he deserves a heavy reward to show that the emperor has a clear distinction between rewards and punishments. Now that Zhang San has been honored as a Marquis of the Tang Dynasty at a young age, I feel that it is inappropriate for me to give the reward to him."
Where is his family?”
Hearing what Du Ruhui said, everyone immediately nodded in agreement. It's really hard for Zhang San to give him any more rewards, but he can give them to his family!
Fang Xuanling still did not express his opinion, but just listened to everyone's opinions.
"Xuanling, Zhang San is your son-in-law, how do you think you should reward him?" Li Shimin asked Fang Xuanling.
When Fang Xuanling heard Li Shimin call her name, she couldn't pretend to be dumb at this time, so she had to reply: "I think everyone is right."
Okay! This kind word is just as good as what you didn’t say.
However, Li Shimin has already made up his mind, "Then I will confer Zhang Fang's imperial edict on the third rank, and in addition, I will reward you with tens of thousands of gold coins, and hundreds of pieces of silk...!"
This reward can be said to be very generous. Fang Xuanling is naturally very satisfied with this reward. His daughter is now also the imperial concubine, and she feels proud of herself.
And Zhang San is really not suitable for awarding him, otherwise he would really be praised and killed.
Zhang San was making an exercise plan for himself at home, but he didn't know that the reward for him from Li Shimin was also on the way.
This time, it was Sun Xi, an old acquaintance, who announced the decree. He spoke in a flurry of words. Zhang San roughly concluded that his wife was now the third-grade imperial concubine, and would also be eating the royal food in the future. In addition, there was the ten thousand yuan. When he heard this three, he was very excited.
Speechless.
It would be great if it were really ten thousand gold coins, that is, ten thousand copper coins, only ten taels of silver.
I'm helping the disaster area this time, so why can't I give more?
Okay! Zhang San’s whole-hearted effort to save lives and heal the wounded was not for this reward.
However, my wife is now basically on the same level as me in official positions, which is not bad.
Even if I stop doing business in the future, I won’t be afraid of going hungry.
Zhang San asked Zhang Fu to prepare a thank-you gift for Sun Xi. Naturally, Sun Xi did not dare to accept it. Zhang San was now at the peak of his love for the saints, so it was better to leave a good impression at this time.
However, impressed by Zhang Fu's "sincerity", Sun Xi still accepted the dozens of taels of silver.
After expressing congratulations to Zhang San and Fang Keying, Sun Xi left with a smile.
After Sun Xi left, the whole family cheered and cheered. Although the younger sister didn't know what a third-grade imperial edict was, she felt it was definitely something special.
Mrs. Xu was even more overjoyed. Of course, Mrs. Xu also knew that the reason why her daughter was able to win this honor was naturally because she had a good son-in-law and her daughter had a good husband.
At noon that day, Aunt Song cooked a large table of dishes. Everyone sat around the table and congratulated Fang Keying.
Zhang San was also very happy, even happier than getting a reward, so everyone except Fang Keying drank some drinks today to celebrate Fang Keying becoming the third-grade imperial concubine of the Tang Dynasty.
After eating and drinking, Fang Keying, accompanied by Zhang San, went back to the house to rest.
Now Fang Keying is expected to give birth at any time, so she cannot sit for long periods of time and walking is very strenuous.
Back in the house, when there were only two of them, Fang Keying gently kissed Zhang San on the forehead.
This was the first time that Fang Keying took the initiative to kiss Zhang San since they got married.
It made Zhang San very happy, but now that his wife is pregnant, Zhang San didn’t dare to mess around, but his face was always filled with a happy smile.
"Thank you, Sanlang. I have taken advantage of you for my title of imperial wife. It's a pity that the emperor did not reward you." Fang Keying said to Zhang San while leaning on the bed.
"We are an old married couple, do we still need to be polite? Besides, isn't giving you a reward the same as giving me a reward? My husband's title or official position must have remained unchanged in the past few years. If he is promoted again, it will be terrible.
It’s a big crisis, and it’s just right now!”
Hearing what Zhang San said, Fang Keying also smiled knowingly, and naturally understood the principle of flattery.
