At this moment, the area outside Zhou's house was filled with villagers.
One by one, they put their feet up and stretched their necks to look inside.
Don't blame them for being curious, this news is really shocking and exciting.
You must know that to ordinary people, imperial edicts are something that can only appear in operas.
Even the village chief Wang Changgui and all the village elders heard about this and hurried over.
Zhou Laogen's family was both nervous and excited at the same time. Nervous because they had never seen such a big battle, and excited because the emperor actually gave them the Zhou family's imperial edict.
Zhou Mingzhu was hurriedly called from the workshop by her two nephews.
Before he said anything, Grandma Zhou and his two sisters-in-law took him to wash up and change into clean new clothes before coming out to receive the order.
When Bu Fan came over, Zhou Mingzhu had already received the imperial edict.
"Village Chief, you are here. You know that Mingzhu is so great now. He has been named the Lord of Ronghua Township by His Majesty the Emperor!"
"I was also rewarded with a hundred taels of gold and a hundred acres of fertile land."
As soon as the surrounding villagers saw him coming, they talked about Zhou Mingzhu's canonization.
Although it was Zhou Mingzhu who was canonized, for the villagers in Noao Village, Zhou Mingzhu became the village monarch, which brought glory to their faces.
You know Shili Village, but I have never heard of anyone being granted the title of Lord of the Township.
Bu Fan was a little surprised.
Lord of Ronghua Township.
Although the title of Xiangjun is the lowest level of titles given by the imperial court to female family members,
But Zhou Mingzhu is just a remote little peasant girl, so getting a title is already a huge event.
"Meet sir!"
Fang Cheng noticed Bu Fan and saluted respectfully, "Your Majesty, I also have a decree for you!"
"I have it too?"
Bu Fan pointed at himself, a little surprised.
"Xiao Fan, why don't you kneel down quickly and accept the order!"
The old village chief Wang Changgui was so excited that his face turned red and his voice trembled a little.
This is an imperial edict.
Moreover, two dishes came at once.
After a hundred years, he will be able to show off to the previous village chiefs his deeds after becoming the village chief.
"No, no, no, sir, as a master of the academy, you will cultivate countless talents for our court, just stand and receive orders!"
Fang Cheng waved his hand.
Before, he had only guessed that Mr. Bu was a great Confucian.
But now after seeing this imperial edict, he has determined that Mr. Bu is a great scholar in this world.
There are only a handful of great Confucians in the entire Wei Dynasty.
"It is destined to be blessed by heaven, the emperor decreed..."
This imperial edict is a bit long, but to put it simply, Bu Fan has both moral integrity and talent, educates the people, and cultivates several pillars of the Wei Dynasty, including Tiedan.
Anyway, they all praise Bu Fanren for being handsome and good-looking.
Finally, he was rewarded with a gold plaque, ten thousand pieces of gold, ten thousand acres of fertile land, silk and satin, etc.
"Sir, this is the golden plaque awarded to you by the Holy Spirit!"
Fang Cheng asked two people to carry over an item covered with red cloth.
When the red cloth was lifted, a golden plaque was particularly dazzling under the sunlight.
"Isn't it a gold-lettered plaque? Why are there no words? Did you forget to engrave it?"
Looking at the wordless gold plaque, Bu Fan was speechless. There were no words, how could it be called a gold plaque?
"That's right, I think His Majesty meant for you, sir, to write it yourself!" Fang Cheng said in a low voice.
"Then I understand!"
Bu Fan nodded. Actually, he thought this was not bad. He would have written the name of his private school better. At least what he wrote was pleasing to the eye.
After the imperial edict was read out, the guards were asked to move the rewarded items to Bu Fan's home.
Bu Fan touched the golden plaque.
[Thousand Spirit Wood: A rare spiritual wood in the world, which can be used to refine innate magic weapons with wood attributes]
Rare spiritual trees in heaven and earth?
It can also refine innate magic weapons.
Bu Fan never expected that the Wei Emperor would be so generous as to give him such good weapon-making materials to use as a plaque for the academy.
"Is it because of Wu Xuanzi?"
Bu Fan was not stupid. He knew that the current achievements of his private school would not attract the attention of an emperor, so he specially sent him a piece of Thousand Spirit Wood that could be used to refine innate magic weapons.
So, there is only one possibility.
That was the purpose of the emperor sending this plaque, to please Wu Xuanzi.
Now I don't know whether it is good or bad to let Wu Xuanzi stay.
However, at present, the good ones account for more than half.
In the past, Bu Fan would not have dared to blatantly use this kind of spiritual wood as a plaque.
After all, this thing can bring disaster.
Once a monk in the spiritual world sees that this plaque is a rare spiritual wood, no one will be jealous.
It's just.
now.
There was an ordinary little old man in the private school.
He takes care of everything.
…
Wait for Fang Cheng and others to leave.
The village suddenly became lively.
Every villager’s face is filled with joy and excitement.
Whether Zhou Mingzhu was granted the title of Lord of Ronghua Township or Bu Fan was rewarded by the Holy Spirit for his private school affairs, it was all worthy of joy.
Many villagers congratulated Zhou Laogen's family one after another. Zhou Laogen's family was beaming with joy, and the Zhou family members were also extremely happy.
You must know that Zhou Mingzhu is from the Zhou clan.
Then, after Zhou Mingzhu agreed to enshrine the imperial edict in the ancestral hall, Chief Zhou decided to choose an auspicious day to worship his ancestors.
Zhou Laogen even said that he would set up flowing water banquets in the village and invite the villagers to a banquet.
But the Zhou clan leader was not happy, saying that Zhou Mingzhu was from his Zhou clan, and if he wanted to set up a flowing water mat, this was someone from the Qian clan!
However, compared to the bustle of Zhou Mingzhu's house, Bu Fan's house seemed much quieter. Zhou Mingzhu was so noisy that she hid directly in Bu Fan's house.
"It's strange, village chief, why is it so quiet here? Everyone is huddled up over there?"
Zhou Mingzhu leaned weakly on the chair and took a long breath.
"Your tone sounds like you're showing off!"
Bu Fan smiled faintly. In fact, someone also congratulated him, but they were not as exaggerated as Zhou Mingzhu.
After all, his place is quite far away from the village.
"I don't dare to show off in front of you. You rewarded me with more things than me, including ten thousand taels of gold and ten thousand acres of fertile land. This treatment is incredible." Zhou Mingzhu clicked her tongue.
"How much gold you have for your title, but fertile land cannot be exchanged for it!" Bu Fan said with a smile.
"That's true!" Zhou Mingzhu nodded in agreement.
"However, I am very curious. Your ban should not be just because of raising fish in rice fields!" Bu Fan looked at Zhou Mingzhu with a half-smile.
"The village chief is still awesome!" Zhou Mingzhu gave a thumbs up.
"Stop flattering!"
Bu Fan smiled bitterly and shook his head.
I really thought he was stupid.
Raising fish in a mere rice field is not enough for the imperial court to grant Zhou Mingzhu the title of Country Lord.
The four great inventions are pretty much the same.
"Why don't you, village chief, take a guess?" Zhou Mingzhu's eyes lit up.
"I'll give you a reminder, a luminous cup of grape wine. If you want to drink Pipa, I'll remind you right away."
