Rebirth of farming for a living

Li Qiuyan didn't have time to react.

Eunuch De's face was straight: "The Emperor has a decree."

The Li family members all came out at some point and knelt down on the ground.

De Gonggong unfolded a bright yellow imperial edict: "I have been entrusted by heaven to carry the emperor. Zhao said: Li Qiuyan, the daughter of the Li family in Lijiazhuang... is specially named the monarch of Minqin Township, and is given 200 taels of gold and [-] acres of fertile land... .I admire this.”

"Thank you Lord Ron."

A lot of convoluted and obscure words were pronounced solemnly by Mr. De.

Li Qiuyan was confused.

But it didn't stop her from understanding that she was really made a township king, nor did it stop her from understanding the many rewards given by the emperor.

Well, this should be a belated reward.

As Eunuch De said before, luck lies behind, and that’s true.

200 taels of gold, which is consistent with the previous reward.

Five hundred acres of fertile land, this is valuable, and it comes to my heart.

Li Qiuyan's eyes were bright.

It’s just that, tsk, Minqin Xiangjun.

This name is really not flattering.

Hear the last two words "Qin".

Li Qiuyan didn't dare to think too much. He imitated the way he did on TV to express his gratitude, and then kowtowed.

Eunuch De had returned to his previous kind demeanor, and personally helped Li Qiuyan up: "Congratulations, Lord Minqin. It's a long journey, but I'll spare you from going to Beijing to express my gratitude."

Hearing this, Li Qiuyan was even more overjoyed and kowtowed devoutly towards the capital again: "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

The emperor was so considerate that Li Qiuyan burst into tears.

When she stood up again, several unfamiliar people in official uniforms came forward to greet her: "I have met Mr. Qinxiang, I am going to lower my official position..."

It turned out that these people were all county government officials.

The eyes looking at Li Qiuyan were complicated.

After working for half my life, I am now a seventh-grade minor county magistrate/eighth-rank minor county prime minister/ninth-rank minor lord.

Look at this little girl, she is the fifth-grade Xiangjun.

He is also a titled country gentleman.

How can this not make them jealous!

However, the most important thing is to be respectful, and the official level is overwhelming.

What's more, Li Qiuyan is already two, three or four levels higher!

Eunuch De came here to perform official duties, and after passing the county government office, he gathered these people together.

This was also his good intention, to show off to Li Qiuyan.

Li Qiuyan also appreciated his sentiments: "You adults have been traveling so hard all the way, so you will definitely give me a small noodle..."

This is to save food.

Indeed, the journey is long.

Although Mr. De said he had lunch in the county town at noon.

But after traveling all the way from the capital to Fucheng, no one was found, and he rushed from Fucheng to the county seat early in the morning.

It’s really quite tiring.

It turned out that he had no intention of going back directly.

In the evening, Li Qiuyan was the host and invited everyone to have dinner together at Yipinxuan in the town.

During this period, a small episode occurred.

Mao Dan waited and waited for the girl to come back, so he simply brought a basket of potatoes to his house.

Coincidentally, Eunuch De saw it and asked, "What is this?"

"Oh, these are potatoes." Li Qiuyan explained: "Do you want to have a taste, sir?"

It’s okay to taste it, but how?

Although the Li family's house was newly built, there were too many people, and Li Qiuyan didn't even think about entertaining them at home.

In the evening, I had to eat at Yipinxuan anyway, so I just took some potatoes to Yipinxuan.

Don't say that Du Zhaoyang himself is here, even if Du Zhaoyang is not there, with shopkeeper Du, what can Li Qiuyan want to do?

She also brought a few fresh chili peppers and directed the chef at Yipinxuan to make a fragrant plate of spicy and sour potato shreds.

Eunuch De took a bite of the potato shreds and was amazed.

When I looked at the eggy appearance of these mashed potatoes, I thought they were the same thing as sweet potatoes.

It was also because of this that I became interested.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be cooking and eating.

The spicy De Gonggong inside is not unfamiliar, after all, I tasted it hot and spicy last time I came here.

Although it was so spicy that Mr. De couldn't eat it at that time, maybe this time it was because he didn't add so much chili pepper.

This time, the spicy and sour potato shreds were very delicious to him.

"Can you take some of these called potatoes for our family?"

This, even if there is a problem, I still have to say it’s okay!

Li Qiuyan immediately called people back to Lijiazhuang to dig potatoes.

He was stopped by Eunuch De with a smile: "There's no rush, our family won't return until tomorrow."

As the largest restaurant in town, Yipinxuan is a very comfortable place to stay and rest for a night.

On the other hand, the officials, after dinner, confessed their sins to Li Qiuyan, and agreed to come over to measure the land in a few days, then they left together and returned to the county government office.

The emperor did not just point to a piece of land when he rewarded it.

Like Li Qiuyan, she just demarcated a piece of unclaimed land from the county where she was located.

Where to draw the specific line, Magistrate Xu had to go back and look through the map.

It’s better not to make it too inconvenient for the township king to manage.

Magistrate Xu was a little envious of a rural gentleman who came out of the county.

But it is better for a township king to be in his own county than to be in a neighboring county.

He is so proud.

It's a pity that I have to go to the Yamen tomorrow, so it's really hard to stay here any longer.

However, there is still a long way to go, so there is no rush.

Even after being flattered all night, Li Qiuyan still wasn't used to his status as a country king.

Seeing that Magistrate Xu and others were about to leave, he had to send them out in person.

It was Jiang Zhe who quietly pressed Li Qiuyan down and got up to see him off.
