Suddenly there was a gasp of air in the hall, and all the ministers were dumbfounded. Is this the county prince?
Nowadays, it is no longer the time when the country was unstable and the heroes were swept away. The official position can be as high as you like, but the rewards of titles are extremely cautious. Most of the rewards are just honors.
And now, His Majesty actually gave him the title of County Marquis in one fell swoop!
There are nine levels of nobility in the Tang Dynasty. The first is the king, the first rank; the second is the successor king, the county king, the first rank; the third is the Duke, the first rank; the fourth is the founder of the county, the second rank; the fifth is the founding county.
Gong, from the second rank; sixth, Kaiguo County Marquis, from the third rank; seventh, Kaiguo County Bo, from the fourth rank; eighth, Kaiguo County son, from the fifth rank; ninth, Kaiguo County male, from the fifth rank.
The sixth class of founding county princes are not only from the third rank, but also hereditary and can be replaced by thousands of households!
As we all know, because His Majesty Li Er once held the post of Shangshu Ling, this position has been vacant since the beginning of Zhenguan. The current official positions in charge of the Tang Dynasty are Shangshu Zuopushe, Jingzhao, Henan, and Taiyuan.
, as well as the Grand Governor and Grand Protector of military towns in various places, these official positions are from the second rank!
From the third rank of the founding county marquis, the corresponding official positions are Yushi Dafu, Secretary Supervisor, Guanglu, Weiwei, Zongzheng, Taipu, Dali, Honglu, Sinong, Taifu and other ministers, left and right Sanqi Changshi, Guozi
Sacrificing wine, the palace supervisor, the young palace supervisor, the general of the great craftsman, the generals of the guards Yulin Qianniu, the lower governor, the governor of Shangzhou, the chief historian of the governor's office, the deputy governor of the governor's office...
These are all high-power positions in the capital, and official positions among the princes in the local area!
Many people’s eyes were red!
Even if this "Zhenguan Plow" is very good and powerful, it won't be granted the title of a founding county prince, right?
What do the soldiers and generals who follow His Majesty on expeditions here and there, and whose robes are stained with blood, think of this?
You know, except for a very small number of famous princes, most of the soldiers and generals who have made great achievements can't even get a man from the founding county!
Wei Zheng was also a little dazed and embarrassed.
I just made a statement that I won’t go against you today, and now you’re going to cause such a big deal?
The imperial edict to a founding county marquis has passed!
But if you have spoken out, will you break your words in the blink of an eye? But if you have to acquiesce, it is really stuck in your throat.
Wei Zheng was confused...
Fang Jun felt so happy!
Is this now a title?
Brother will be a noble from now on, not only brother, but also our son and grandson from now on. As long as we don’t make big mistakes and as long as the Tang Dynasty does not fall, we will be a noble for the rest of our lives!
At this moment, all democracy and freedom were thrown out of the window, and I almost sang praises for this beautiful feudal society!
To put it bluntly, no matter what system it is, only those with vested interests will support it...
His Majesty Li Er smiled and said nothing, looking at Fang Xuanling with twinkling eyes.
Fang Xuanling didn't seem to be too surprised, but just put it off: "Isn't it a blessing to be granted the title of marquis without any military exploits? I don't dare accept it."
His Majesty Li Er pondered for a moment and said: "You are not joking. If Fang Qing insists on not accepting it, isn't it embarrassing for me?"
Fang Xuanling then said: "A few days ago, my son Yiai discussed with the old minister that this glass method is very profitable. If it is managed properly, it can make tens of millions a month. My Fang family has been favored by the emperor and has been honored and favored.
In order to repay you, I will offer this method to Your Majesty to fill the treasury of our Tang Dynasty!"
The implication is that this county is a bit heavy, and a "Zhenguan plow" alone is not enough, so we add a piece of glass so that we can accept it with peace of mind.
However, as soon as these words came out, the heads of all the ministers present were immediately buzzing.
Fang Jun was stunned on the spot, completely dumbfounded...
Dad, when did I discuss with you that I would donate the glass? I would also use this glass to accumulate wealth and build up a big family business, so that my children and grandchildren would not have to worry about food and clothing, and there would be endless money for generations to come...
You dad is simply cheating on your son!
Fang Jun's eyes turned red, and he immediately said hurriedly: "No, that, dad..."
Fang Xuanling glared at him and scolded: "Shut up! Although I usually teach you not to be arrogant when taking credit and to act in a low profile, this is a major event that affects national policy and will definitely boost the confidence of the people and inspire the morale of the soldiers.
How can I remain silent as before? I have my own opinion on this matter, so you don’t need to say anything!"
The courtiers discussed one after another and praised Fang Xuanling's heart for the country and his willingness to contribute!
Although I don’t know the details of the glass method, there are sporadic glass products on the market now. The exquisite and meticulous shapes and crystal clear colors are all ingenious. Every piece is simply stunning!
It must be extremely difficult to make with craftsmanship and rare and precious materials, but now the Fang family just takes it out?
atmosphere!
As a result, those who were originally dissatisfied with the founding county prince whom His Majesty decreed have all shut their mouths.
There is no doubt that that glass can push the Fang family to a very high status in an extremely short period of time, amassing wealth that can rival the country, but it was given away without blinking an eye. Who can be dissatisfied with this kind of courage?
Not to mention that after your majesty gets this glass, it will greatly enrich the national treasury. For this achievement, it is not an exaggeration to make a county marquis!
Regardless of whether you admire me sincerely or secretly scold you as a fool, the whole hall is full of admiration, praise and praise, as if the world is unified!
Only Fang Jun had a dark face and red eyes, biting his lips and not speaking.
He couldn't figure it out, Dad, were you kicked in the head by a donkey?
How could you do such a stupid thing!
But he also knew that since this matter was raised in Tai Chi Hall, it was a foregone conclusion and there was absolutely no way he could go back on his words.
At least half of the joy of being granted the title of County Marquis has dissipated. If my heart bleeds, it’s all money...
His Majesty Li Er laughed heartily, winked at Fang Xuanling cryptically, and said: "Even so, I only rewarded a mere county prince for fear of being treated harshly. How about this, and add Zuopu to shoot Prince Fang Xuanling?"
Young Master, what do you think?"
The official name of Prince Shaoshi. Together with Prince Shaobao and Shaofu, they are collectively known as Prince Sanshao or Donggong Sanshao. They were originally the closest people to the emperor or the prince. "Shi" means the person who imparts his knowledge, and "Fu" means the supervisor.
Those who act and "protect" are those who take care of their bodies, that is, those who are responsible for the monarch's intellectual education, moral education, and physical education.
After the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the prince's masters were all appointed with other official titles. "Three Masters" and "Three Young Masters" were both official titles that were added to the rank and given as a gift. They had no official duties and were only equivalent to an honorary title.
Everyone praised him for his good deeds, and no one would object if they were crazy. This was obviously something that His Majesty and Fang Xuanling had discussed a long time ago, to sing a double act in the main hall!
Besides, given Fang Xuanling’s official position and past achievements, His Majesty’s treatment would not be too generous, and even a minister like Changsun Wuji could not object.
Fang Jun finally understood.
Dad had already planned to offer the method of glass to His Majesty Li Er, but he was probably afraid of his own objections, so he simply took it to the Zhengdan court meeting to make it an established fact.
This abacus is indeed a good one. No matter how clumsy and reluctant I am, I can't possibly refute my father's face in front of such people on this occasion...
But the problem is, I made the glass, let’s not talk about the patent rights, but I don’t even have the right to own it?
What a damn old society with no human rights!
This guy has completely forgotten that just now he was praising this evil old society just because he was granted the title of County Marquis...
