Ever since the Northwest War ended, Lieutenant Shixian began to count the days secretly in his heart. His reward, his promotion and transfer, the longer the time passed, the more heart-wrenching Shi County Lieutenant became.

On this day, the imperial court's reward document finally arrived in Chuanzhou, and the magistrate of Chuanzhou sent people to deliver it to various counties.

As expected, Li Quanyong continued to serve as the magistrate of Sichuan Province. He failed to discover in time during his work that the county magistrates of his subordinate counties were killed one after another. However, Li Quanyong was very decisive and immediately reported the news to the Northwest Army for rescue.

So, the merits and demerits balance out. However, when the grassland tribes invaded, Li Quanyong led his people to resist the grassland soldiers with merit. Afterwards, Li Quanyong was given some jade and jewelry as rewards.

Xie Boyuan is most familiar with this kind of imperial edict, because it was his original idea. The court had no silver, but it had a lot of jade and jewelry. Any money was exchanged for food and weapons.

Therefore, the only rewards given to ministers are jade and jewelry. The treasures given by the royal family cannot be sold and cashed out, they can only be kept for wear or heirlooms.

Especially for the families in the capital who were granted lordships and titles, it was hard to say that these treasures might return to the emperor's hands at some point. Treasures can only increase in value without any loss at all.

Of course, when Xie Boyuan himself received a box of jade ornaments as a reward, he regretted why he didn't wait until he received some affordable rewards before coming up with an idea.

In other counties, officials from the Sichuan Prefecture Yamen sect were the ones who delivered the orders. But here in Qu County, it was a little different. The father-in-law from the capital came with him to deliver the orders.

Xiao Qingshan from Qu County also received a few jade ornaments. The difference was that Dong's imperial edict had come down, and the imperial edict uniform of Qipin Yiren was also sent together.

Mrs. Dong trembled and touched her imperial edict uniform, somewhat in disbelief. She actually has a job, and she will also have a salary in the future. Yes, Yiren has a salary of 30 taels of silver per year.

This time, the person who came to deliver the message also brought his salary. Mrs. Shui quickly stepped forward to take the purse containing her salary, and then took out a purse from her sleeve pocket and stuffed it into the father-in-law who was delivering the order.

The young father-in-law traveled all the way to Qu County and saw that Qu County was extremely poor. I had already typed up the score without any money, but I didn’t expect that the woman next to this wife turned out to be a sensible person.

When Mrs. Shui saw that her little father-in-law had accepted the purse, she felt relieved. He quickly asked with a smile: "Sir, it turns out that you have worked hard to deliver the decree. I ordered someone to clean up a small yard for you and come out. You can have a good rest in the county government office?"

The little father-in-law was very happy when he heard it, and was worried about how to stay for a few more days. After completing the task assigned by His Royal Highness, the young father-in-law liked this mother-in-law so much that he quickly agreed: "Then thank you so much!"

Mrs. Shui quickly winked at the little maid behind her. She didn't dare to leave. The little maid took the order and went down to arrange a place to stay, but she was actually asking Granny Yan for advice.

Shixian Lieutenant finally received his reward and transfer. Shi Xianwei was transferred to Ling County, Chuanzhou as county magistrate, with an official rank of seventh rank. Mrs. Shi's imperial decree needs to wait until Shixian Lieutenant takes office, and then Shixian Lieutenant will write a letter and ask for the seal.

Moreover, so many low-level officials are transferred every year, and the court does not know how much backlog there is of such requests for seals. Before, when Shixian Wei was in the ninth rank, he started writing notes to his wife to ask for the title of a ninth-rank concubine.

Now Shixian Lieutenant has completed the fourth level jump, and the previous ninth-grade Ruren's imperial edict has not yet come down. Therefore, Mrs. Shi could only look at Dong's imperial edict with envy.

Lieutenant Shixian smiled and greeted everyone who came to congratulate him, and the corners of his mouth almost reached behind his ears. Shi Xianwei was actually reluctant to leave Qu County. He felt that Qu County was his blessed land.

It was because he came to Qu County to collect grain taxes that he finally had the opportunity to come to Qu County to be the county captain. His colleagues who had ridiculed him in the Chuanzhou government office for taking the initiative to serve in the county were now still at the ninth rank, and he was already the seventh rank county magistrate.

Although Ling County is not adjacent to Qu County, the distance is not too far. Shixian Lieutenant had plenty of time to take up his post. Shixian Lieutenant planned to entertain his colleagues and fellow villagers in Qu County first, and then return to Chuanzhou City to entertain them.

After all, I still have my own family and relatives in Chuanzhou City, and if I want to advance further, I must establish a good relationship with my former colleagues in the government office.

The entire county government office in Qu County suddenly became lively. The heads of each family originally thought that County Magistrate Xiao would be promoted and transferred, after all, he performed so well this time. Privately, I regretted that it was rare to meet a good county magistrate.

Whether the county magistrate is good or not, the big families and merchants in the county know best. Unexpectedly, Lieutenant Shixian was transferred to Lingxian County to be the county magistrate. After all, he was from Quxian County. In the future, doing business in Lingxian County would be considered a bit of a favor.

All the prominent people in the county came to the county government office to congratulate her, and the women in Qu County began to care about their children's study status. For no other reason than for Dong's imperial edict, they were reminded of it all at once.

My husband-in-law is not capable, but if his son has the capability to become an official, he can also ask for a royal title for himself. In this way, you will also have an imperial edict and receive a salary every year.

The enthusiasm for learning among all the students in Qu County was unprecedentedly high, and the gentlemen of the county school were very surprised.

Everyone here is busy, Mrs. Shui calmly chats with Mrs. Dong and Mrs. Shi. But in fact, Mrs. Shui was almost dying of anxiety.

It stands to reason that my wife is only a seventh-grade Yiren, and her annual salary is only thirty taels of silver. Mrs. Shui immediately noticed something was wrong with the purse that her little father-in-law just handed over, but she could only take it quickly!

I thought that the worst outcome would be that the silver inside would be lost, and at worst there would be a few stones inside. However, something felt wrong in the hand, so Mrs. Shui just took the time to take a look at the tea room at the back.

Originally, Mrs. Shui was very calm. Thirty taels of silver from the capital all the way to Qu County would not be strange to Mrs. Shui.

But it turned out to be thirty taels of silver, plus a few silver notes. Mrs. Shui didn't dare to open it to see how much the bill was. This was enough to make Mrs. Shui panic. For the first time in her life, she encountered a situation where there were many rewards from the royal family.

Mrs. Shui looked at Mr. Dong who was chatting with Mrs. Shi, and then looked for the master with her eyes. Suddenly, I saw Xiao Qingshan passing by on the corridor connecting the front and back yards, and I didn't even have time to send someone to stop the master.

Mrs. Shui was anxious, but she didn't show any expression on her face. Originally, receiving the reward required the whole family to show up together, but Xiao Qingshan was worried that Ming Jia was still sick, so he directly told his young father-in-law that his child was sick.

The young father-in-law who delivered the order was named Li, and he was considered to be the most respectable young father-in-law among the imperial eunuchs. Eunuch Gao had fought for him to get this errand. Eunuch Gao had warned him a lot before coming.

Therefore, the young father-in-law was very kind to Xiao Qingshan, and when he heard that Miss Xiao was ill, he did not pursue the matter. So, Mingjia is lazing around in his yard.
