Chapter 639 The reaction of the heads of the major families
Le Tai was granted the title of Marquis Mo, who only had a title and had the privileged status that a marquis should have, but he did not have the fiefdom, food, and ceremonial servants that a marquis should have.
At most, you will just get a lot of money as a reward.
In addition, several other Mohists in Lijiazhuang, including two Mohists, were granted the title of County Baron.
At the same time, the rest of the Mohists also received some monetary rewards.
Despite this, as soon as the news came out, the entire city of Chang'an immediately burst into excitement.
The music masters of Lijiazhuang, Ji Wen and others were full of surprises.
They didn't expect that the king actually succeeded and actually asked his majesty to grant them a title.
Moreover, there are still three titles!
The entire Lijiazhuang was full of joy, as if celebrating the New Year.
When the edict was handed over to Le Tai and Ji Wen, their faces were filled with disbelief, their eyes widened, and their whole bodies were trembling.
Be a knight!
Or the Marquis!
Letai and the rest of the Mohists would never dare to think of such a thing in their lives.
These lowly Mohists could actually be knighted by His Majesty just for their research and forging of some objects!
Although it does not have any real power, it is still a title!
You can make your wife your wife and your son, and you can honor your ancestors!
"The king has given me this kindness that I will never be able to repay in my lifetime. However, please rest assured, the king. From now on, I will be the king's servant in life and the ghost of Lijiazhuang in death!"
Le Tai led a group of ink masters to kneel in front of Li Xuan and swore an oath.
"The more you invent and make good things, the king will be very satisfied. As for being the ghost of Lijiazhuang, you should not have this obsession. Lijiazhuang is in the earthly world, and we don't want it to be spooky!"
"hey-hey……"
Hearing this, Le Tai and others just kept giggling.
They also all know that the king is such an irritating person, and it is fine not to listen.
"The remaining people who have not been knighted should not be discouraged or disappointed!"
Li Xuan said loudly again: "As long as you can concentrate on research and forge new objects to strengthen our Tang Dynasty, I will definitely ask your Majesty to grant you a title!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely work hard!"
All the ink practitioners' eyes lit up, their whole bodies trembled, and their blood boiled with excitement.
Yes, Le Tai, Ji Wen and others can all be knighted.
They are also ink masters. As long as they can research and produce better objects, they can also be knighted.
"Well, let's all go!"
Li Xuan waved his hand casually and walked back.
Behind him, Le Tai and other ink masters bowed to Li Xuan again.
Immediately, under the envious eyes of all the farmers in the village, they held the edict and walked home with their heads held high.
Li Xuan, on the other hand, went back and lay down directly on the sofa to catch up on his sleep.
In Lijiazhuang, all the farmers gathered around Le Tai and others in the courtyard and began to congratulate and celebrate.
Similarly, in Chang'an City, officials from aristocratic families also gathered together.
The information revealed by Li Xuan really shocked these family officials.
"I didn't expect that outside of the Tang Dynasty, there was such a magical place!"
"Compared with this magical land, the vassal states of Tuyuhun, Goguryeo, and Silla that our family has been trying to conquer over the years are simply barren mountains and harsh waters!"
"But you must not forget that overseas is extremely dangerous. Even King Jin almost didn't come back with three giant steel ships!"
"But King Jin is back!"
"Without a sea map, you don't know how to get across that continent!"
"well……"
"You are all thinking too far. We are all officials of the Tang Dynasty. These major matters are discussed between the family head and the clan elders!"
"Oh, that's right..."
"Have you ever thought of the kind of grain that His Highness the King of Jin said could yield ten shi per acre?"
"Ten stones is ten stones, isn't this a good thing?"
"But have you ever thought about it, the grain merchants in my family and I seem to have stocked up a large amount of grain in the past few months?"
"So what, even if the grain yielding ten stones per acre is really grown by His Highness Prince Jin, he still won't be able to make it in time!"
"So, I'm still a little uneasy!"
"Since ancient times, how can grain merchants still lose money?"
Some officials from aristocratic families were somewhat disapproving.
However, some officials from aristocratic families are still a little uneasy.
"Have you ever thought about it? Since ancient times, there have been no craftsmen who can be knighted! But today, they are even knighted. Three knights in a row!"
"this……"
Hearing this, some officials from aristocratic families were startled, some looked at each other, and felt a little uneasy in their hearts.
"However, those grain merchants are directly under the control of the clan elders at home and have nothing to do with us!"
"well!"
"In this case, I can only write a letter to my family and explain the situation here!"
"That's how it should be!"
With that said, all the officials from the aristocratic family left in a hurry.
Soon, letters after letters were sent out.
After receiving the letter, the heads of the major aristocratic families broke out in a cold sweat.
How could King Jin be so ruthless?
As family heads, do they know how dependent their family is on the various industries mentioned by King Jin?
In particular, using military weapons from the imperial court to conquer vassal states!
These things are the foundation for the future of these aristocratic families!
Once successful, these aristocratic families can build an eternal foundation and prosper for thousands of years, even without being affected by changes in the imperial court.
As for the overseas fairy land mentioned by King Jin, they only longed for it in their hearts. The most important thing for their family at the moment was to capture several vassal cities and establish a kingdom!
During this period, they must not have any conflict with the King of Jin.
Even if they were to knight a few craftsmen, the heads of these aristocratic families would not care at all.
After reading the letter, all the family heads quickly convened a meeting with the principals of each house, immediately wrote letters to the major principals in Chang'an City, and sent messengers overnight.
Soon, all the officials of the aristocratic families in Chang'an City received replies from their families.
After everyone read it, they couldn't help but express their feelings.
Similarly, the grain merchants also received the news.
However, during this period, not only did they not sell any grain, but they also took back tens of thousands of dan of grain.
Even though they were told how evil King Jin was, they could only continue on one path until they reached the end.
Li Xuan, Li Shimin and others ignored the actions of these grain merchants.
As for Li Chengqian and others, they had no intention of paying attention.
Because, Li Shimin found a princess for Li Chengqian!
"The eldest daughter of Secretary Cheng Su Dan?"
In Lijiazhuang, after Li Chengqian just learned the news, he hurriedly found Li Xuan.
Behind him, Cheng Chusi, Changsun Chong and others all had strange smiles on their faces.
"How does it look? Your mother must have shown you the image!"
What Li Chengqian didn't expect was that his master's concerns were so different from those of ordinary people.
"Master..."
"It doesn't matter, this matter is related to your happy life in the future. Appearance must be the first factor. If you don't like Su Yu's eldest daughter, you should quickly report the situation to Your Majesty and the Queen. I think Your Majesty and the Queen will definitely listen.
your opinion!"
Li Xuan suggested with a serious look.
"Master, Cheng Qian has seen the portrait of Su Dan's eldest daughter, and felt that her appearance, appearance..."
As he said that, Li Chengqian's expression turned a little awkward.
"That being said, I just like it!"
Li Xuan glared at Li Chengqian speechlessly.
Li Chengqian nodded sheepishly.
"As the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace and the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, how can I, a man from Guanzhong, be so coquettish?"
