Afterwards, everyone followed Yun Laosan to the grain drying field in the village. After a group of people eating melons arrived, the boy with a wink rushed over and found a piece of land. He didn't mind being dirty and just used his sleeve to dry it.
Wipe it clean and let his third uncle sit.
Yun Laosan had never enjoyed such good treatment. He sat down happily and praised the young man for his sharp eyes and that he would become a great person in the future.
The young man smiled naively. When Yun Laosan sat down, the uncles, aunts and ladies in the village gathered around him. Some men who often worked in the fields sat directly on the floor, and some women who came from the door of Yun's house,
When he passed by his house, he cleverly went back to get a small stool. At this moment, the women eating melon basically took the stools and sat down directly.
After everyone found their seats and sat down, they all urged Yun Laosan to talk about what happened at the Yun family just now.
Yun Laosan then cleared his throat and said, "I don't know the specific reasons. As for what those people do,"
"Old Third Uncle, please hurry up and say it, don't make the big guy angry."
"Yes, tell me quickly!"
"Why are you so anxious? Let's just say that those people are high-ranking officials from the capital!"
"You're from the capital! My dear, no wonder you brought so many old officers and soldiers with you. The carriage is also very old-fashioned, and it even pulls a lot of things behind it."
"Xiao Tiezi, don't interrupt. Let your third uncle finish speaking before you exclaim."
"Yeah, don't be so surprised!"
"Third brother, hurry up and continue talking, what are those high officials from the capital doing in the Yun family?"
"Those high-ranking officials from the capital came to the Yun family to read out the imperial edict! Do you know what the imperial edict is?"
Some old people had heard the storytellers in the town before and knew what the imperial edict was, so they exclaimed: "What? The edict? Is it... the edict issued by the emperor?"
These words made some women here who didn't understand feel a little strange. What do you mean by the imperial edict issued by the emperor? Could it be that the emperor is just like a hen, capable of laying eggs? It's just that hens lay eggs, and the emperor lays eggs.
It's an imperial edict.
However, no matter how ignorant they were, they couldn't ask this question. Fortunately, the young man with extensive knowledge solved the problem!
"Oh my god, our Emperor Zhou actually gave an imperial edict to the Yun family? What did the Yun family do? They actually allowed the emperor to give an imperial edict. I heard from the storyteller in town that this imperial edict will only be given to those high-ranking officials.
Next time, maybe we have some big event in the Great Zhou Dynasty and issue an edict to the people all over the world. I have never heard of an edict being issued to that farmer’s family today. What on earth did Uncle Zelin’s family do?”
The person who spoke was none other than the boy who had a lot of eyes for him before. As soon as he finished explaining his words, everyone sitting there took a breath.
The sound of lamentation is endless!
"Oh my god! No wonder there is such a big pomp!"
"Yun Laosan, please tell me what is written in the imperial edict?"
"Yes, yes, old uncle, keep talking, keep talking, don't stop!"
Seeing that everyone was shocked by the content of his words, Yun Laosan felt so happy. When he heard what the official who was leading the way said, he acted calmer than any of them present.
He was quite excited, but not as fussy as them.
Yun Laosan praised himself in his heart, and then continued: "Since Xiaolin told you, you must also know what the imperial edict is. As for what the Yun family did to make the emperor grant the imperial edict, I don't know.
It’s so clear! But I understand roughly several points in the imperial edict, and this imperial edict is not for anyone in the Yun family, but for the two wild geese of the Yun family."
"What? Dayan? Why is this for Dayan?" Xiao Tiezi's sudden exclamation interrupted Yun Laosan's words again!
Everyone who was eating the melon said angrily: "Shut up!"
"Oh." Xiao Tiezi closed his mouth knowingly.
Yun Laosan continued: "The reason why it is given to the two geese of the Yun family, according to the Lord who read the imperial edict, is because the two geese of the Yun family helped the emperor's younger brother, what is his name?...
It seems to be Prince Qing, yes, it is Prince Qing. He helped Prince Qing solve a case. The emperor knew that the two wild geese of the Yun family traveled hundreds of miles a day, so he made an official named "Hongyan Messenger" with the same rank.
Eighth grade, do you know how big the eighth grade is?"
The people onlookers looked at each other with confused expressions. After all, they only knew the county magistrate of the seventh rank, and they did not understand what was below the seventh rank.
Then everyone said in unison: "I don't know."
"You don't know, and neither do I!"
"Cut~"
"I thought you, Mr. Yun, knew about it! You didn't know about Daqing either!"
Everyone rolled their eyes, but Yun Laosan didn't care and continued: "If you don't know, you don't know. I've never been an official. I don't know what it is. This is not normal! But I am sure of one thing.
You know, this eighth grade is definitely not low, after all, our Shanghe County magistrate is only at seventh grade, which is one level lower than the county magistrate."
"We also know what you said. Don't go off topic and continue talking about the main point. What's next?"
At this time, a clever boy asked weakly: "Speaking of which, the two geese of Uncle Zelin's family have been granted official positions by the emperor. When we see those two geese in the future, do we have to kowtow to them?"
ah?"
Auntie: ...If you don’t speak, no one will treat you as a mute!
Yun Laosan: ...such a good young man, why does he have a mouth!
They had not realized this problem before, and everyone fell into deep thought after being asked by this kid unexpectedly.
Fortunately, Old Man Zheng said: "What are you struggling with? Just ask the Yun family when the time comes. Besides, those two wild geese had a high status in our village. With the reward, we only need to treat them as our own."
It’s okay if we offer the village’s mascot!”
"Yes, yes, Lao Zhengtou is right!"
"Old Zheng, you can see clearly."
"Yun Laosan, please continue!"
After hearing what Old Man Zheng said, everyone became lively again, but everyone had a strange question in their minds: why did the emperor appoint two wild geese as officials?
But no matter how ignorant they were, they would never ask this question. They were just curious about what great deeds these two geese had done to help the emperor's younger brother, and they were so lucky.
Yun Laosan saw that everyone's enthusiasm was brought up again by Old Man Zheng, and continued: "The emperor has granted those two wild geese official posts, and these two wild geese also have salaries! The salaries of eighth-grade officials!
"
"What, I still have a salary! I can't compare to two birds by myself?"
"How much is the salary of an eighth-grade official?"
"I don't know, I guess it shouldn't be less than one tael of silver!" Yun Laosan thought for a while and answered everyone's questions.
"hiss!"
"What a bastard! I suddenly feel that I, a big man, can't make more money than two birds!"
"Brother, please stop talking, I shed tears called envy!"
"You're not as good as a bird!"
Yun Laosan was also sore, but seeing so many people sore with him made him feel good again!
After everyone had recovered from their envy and sour mood, Yun Laosan continued to say some more.
However, he did not mention the money and land that the Holy Spirit had given to the Yun family, only the hundred pieces of brocade.
Just this made all the women present extremely envious!
