Chapter 222: Conferred the Title of Princess
Chapter 222: Conferred the Title of Princess
……
Of course, those who have made great contributions to the country and the people should be rewarded.
If anyone had such political achievements, he would have risen to the top and become a close minister to the emperor, a new noble who could not be more noble.
He is also a talent that the various departments below are competing for.
With the medical skills that Princess Fuyao has demonstrated so far, she will have no problem getting into the Imperial Medical Bureau. Let her be the top leader.
Spiral wells, water wheels, cement, ice making, there is no problem for her to enter the Ministry of Works, and the position of Vice Minister of the Ministry of Works was given to her.
Sweet potatoes, peanuts, and a series of fruits and vegetables had no problem entering the Ministry of Revenue, and the position of Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was given to her.
If he is not working in Beijing, but is a local official, then being the county magistrate of a city will also be fine.
Didn’t you see the Cloud City Umbrella was still there?!
However, all of these are based on the premise that the other party is a man.
Fuyao County Master is a woman...
The ministers couldn't help but feel sorry for Li Jiaojiao. If she were a man, she would have made great achievements, but as a woman, no matter how capable she was, she could only be content with staying in the inner chamber.
They never imagined that the people they felt so sorry for had no intention of making progress at all.
If I were to live my life again, I would just want to give in. With food, drink, money and power, wouldn't it be good to just lie down and do nothing?
Who wants to argue and quarrel with a bunch of stinky men in the court?
Emperor Qing took in the expressions of his ministers. After so many years as monarch and subject, how could he not understand them?
snort!
Of course, Emperor Qing didn't really want to ask for everyone's opinions, so he turned around and changed the subject.
"Fuyao, I heard that you raised a white wolf with quite magical wings. Isn't it coming along?" Emperor Qing smiled kindly, completely unlike his usual impatience towards his ministers.
Li Jiaojiao wanted to stand up to reply, but he held her down with his hand. "No need to be polite. Don't be nervous. Just sit down and reply."
Li Jiaojiao: ...So I really sat down?
"Your Majesty, there is indeed a white wolf. It is inconvenient for it to enter the palace, so it was left in the carriage outside..." Li Jiaojiao sat upright like a student, answering the teacher's questions honestly.
I’m afraid I’ll be punished if I make a mistake.
She also has to figure out the teacher's intentions, after all, it's a matter of pets. What if the teacher likes the pet very much and wants to touch it, but is too embarrassed to ask?
Then, following Emperor Qing's expression, Li Jiaojiao said, "If Your Majesty summons us, it will be very fast."
She wanted to bite her tongue after saying that.
But Emperor Qing laughed out loud: "Hahahahaha, okay, but since you're not here, I guess no one will dare to invite you. How about this, bring him over to me during the dinner."
Li Jiaojiao: ... "Yes."
"Li Jing, announce the decree." Emperor Qing changed the jade string in his hand to the other hand, stood up and walked out.
"Yes." Li Jing held the imperial edict of the Ming Emperor in his hand and turned to Li Jiaojiao, "Please accept the edict, County Lady."
Li Jiaojiao immediately stepped out, lifted her skirt and knelt down.
According to heaven’s destiny, the emperor issued an edict:
I am the one chosen by Heaven to rule over all the nations, inherit the teachings of my ancestors, and carry on the unique knowledge of the ancient sages.
Today, there is Li’s daughter Jiaojiao, who is gentle and virtuous, talented and virtuous, with a noble character, and she has won my heart.
He saved the people from disaster and made contributions to the country, and his meritorious services are outstanding, so he should be rewarded to show his honor.
Li Jiaojiao is hereby conferred the title of Princess Fuyao, and is granted the residence of the Princess' Mansion, with the fiefdom of Yuncheng County, in which she is in charge of the land, people and all affairs.
The title of Princess is bestowed by my great grace. I hope that she will work hard on domestic affairs, educate the people with virtue, and nurture all people with benevolence.
In addition, the princess was granted a fief of 1,000 households, with annual rent and taxes to provide for her daily expenses and charity needs. She was also given gold, silver, jewelry, silk, and other items to show her honor.
The princess enjoys privileges and immunities within her fiefdom. She can severely punish anyone who breaks the law in order to maintain order.
At the same time, the princess must also assume corresponding responsibilities, maintain the peace of the fiefdom, protect the safety of the people, promote agricultural development, and prosper the local economy.
I know that the princess is extremely intelligent and will be able to handle this task.
I hope the princess will live up to my expectations, perform her duties conscientiously, win the support of the people with virtue, and govern the people with wisdom. My world is peaceful because of such virtuous people.
This decree shall take effect immediately and shall be announced to the whole world for all to hear.
After Li Jingxuan finished reading the imperial edict, he bowed and came to Li Jiaojiao with a smile, "Princess Fuyao, please accept the edict."
This is a big deal. Princess Yuyi of Prince Rong's family only has a fiefdom but no title or fiefdom. Princess Fuyao is now the first noble lady in the capital.
And he saw it clearly, and he thought that this princess would become a princess or...
Li Jingguan knew how to judge people, so his attitude couldn't help but become better.
Li Jiaojiao listened to the long string, and thanks to her strong mental power, she understood the content of the imperial edict. Emperor Qing was magnanimous, and she liked it!
She also liked the location of this fiefdom. At least, all her efforts in Yuncheng were not in vain.
"Fuyao bows to thank the Holy Spirit for His Grace."
Li Jiaojiao took the imperial edict and stood up. People around her shouted "Congratulations, Princess" one after another.
In fact, all the ministers had already weighed the matter in their hearts. They felt that such a reward was a bit too high, but after thinking about it carefully, they felt that the princess actually deserved it.
What's more, the imperial edict has been issued, and no matter whether it is appropriate or not, everyone can only congratulate.
After all, he is also a miracle doctor.
Can your family never get sick?
It has to be said that the professions of teachers and doctors are universal killer weapons in social situations, both in ancient and modern times.
No one can guarantee that there will never be a day when they will be of use.
"My lords, princesses, His Majesty is still waiting at the door. Please follow me." Li Jing waited for Li Jiaojiao to accept a few congratulations before speaking and walked towards the door of the Zichen Palace first.
After leaving the Purple Palace, Li Jiaojiao was summoned to Emperor Qing's presence.
Following him were several people who had returned from the business trip. Lu Liang naturally walked beside Li Jiaojiao, half a step slower than Emperor Qing in front of him.
Xie Xiao, Minister Lin and Censor Li followed behind the three.
The princes and ministers behind were not far away.
At least normal conversations between people can be heard clearly.
"Fuyao, I heard that the crops on your farm are almost ripe, is that true?"
"Your Majesty, Fuyao has returned to the capital but has not yet arrived at the farm. However, according to the time calculation, the wheat should indeed be ripe. Fuyao will send you some when the time comes. If you like it, Fuyao is willing to provide seeds."
In fact, Li Jiaojiao is still a child who has not grown up and does not have much scheming in her heart.
What she did in Daqing was recognized and rewarded by the country's top leaders, and she felt that her efforts were rewarded.
Moreover, this is an era in which life is not easy for everyone, and having enough food is the biggest wish of ordinary people.
She was happy to be able to simply provide seeds to feed people.
To put it bluntly, they have a strong sense of empathy and cannot bear to see the sufferings of the world.
Even though I told myself to give up from the first day of my time travel, I still acted like I was free and easy...
