Reward

Emperor Hongwen nodded again.

Indeed, if the people he rewarded in the past caused any trouble, with this level of status, how would they be punished?

It won't work if you don't punish him. If you punish him, it's very likely that someone with good intentions will catch you.

"Then what do you think you should do?"

Emperor Hongwen trusted Wang De very much. When no one was around in private, the two of them were not like masters and servants, but more like friends.

"In Dongzhou, anyone above count can support a tribe."

"Although the county leader has not explicitly said this, there is no rule saying it is not allowed."

"Part?"

Emperor Hongwen looked at Wang De very surprised.

Bu Qu is actually a soldier. In Dongzhou, if you reach the level of earl, you can raise soldiers.

Of course, there are very strict rules on numbers.

"Last time the county lord asked you for the land around the farm, Yi Laonu thought she would definitely expand her mansion there."

"Such a big place naturally needs people to guard it, and this time the food issue has caused great losses to all the major families."

As soon as Wang De said this, Emperor Hongwen immediately remembered it.

He frowned, sure.

This time the Aristocratic Family suffered a big loss. According to the arrogant character of those guys in the Aristocratic Family, they will definitely cause trouble for Lu Yaoyao.

In the afternoon of that day, Wang De left the palace in person with the imperial edict and went outside the city.

"Is it allowed me to recruit some music?"

Lu Yaoyao was shocked after receiving the imperial edict.

She knew about Buqu and so on, but not just anyone could do it.

How could Emperor Hongwen give her such an imperial edict so smoothly?

"There is no need to be surprised, County Lord. His Majesty has always remembered the things you have done for the court these few times. He originally wanted to continue to promote your title, but you also know that this is not easy to do."

"So after much thought, I gave you such a favor."

"Your Majesty also asked the old slave to give you a message. Those people from the aristocratic family are very insidious, so be careful."

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao understood.

In my heart, I was very grateful that Emperor Hongwen could think of him like this.

"Thank you for your advice, Your Majesty. Please also thank His Majesty for me."

Wang De smiled and nodded.

Wang De still liked the girl Lu Yaoyao very much.

Of course, this kind of love is not due to random thoughts, but because she is Lu Yunjun's daughter.

Thinking back to when he went to Jiangdong with Emperor Hongwen, who was still a prince, he often came into contact with Lu Yunjun along with him.

At that time, Lu Yunjun didn't know their identities and was very kind to people.

It made him feel the warmth towards normal people for the first time.

Speaking of Wang De's past, it is also a sad history.

Although he is now a popular person around His Majesty, his status was not high in the past, especially when he was still in the palace with Emperor Hongwen.

However, he was often bullied and looked down upon. Although Emperor Hongwen never bullied him, he was always a master and servant, and he didn't care much about his feelings.

The only person who made him feel warm was Lu Yunjun.

Therefore, since he learned that Lu Yaoyao was Lu Yunjun's daughter, although he didn't say or show anything on the surface, he would still give some help secretly.

For example, from time to time when Emperor Hongwen mentioned her, he would help say some kind words, and about this reward.

"County Lord, you must be careful, the aristocratic families are not easy to offend."

"Thank you, Eunuch Wang, for reminding me."

Lu Yaoyao smiled and nodded, and asked Qiu Shuang to give him another purse.

When Wang De was sent away, Qiu Yu immediately became happy.

"Miss, your majesty's reward this time is quite good. I'm distracted."

Lu Yaoyao smiled and nodded repeatedly.

It's really heartbreaking.

She has hundreds of people under her command, but for some reason these people cannot be exposed.

She could only keep it secretly, but it was different now. With this imperial edict, she could make the Black Cloud Hunter under her stand out in a legitimate manner.

However, it is still a little pity that His Majesty only gave 200 places.

There are 500 Black Cloud Hunters under her command.

But this is good. Part of it is in the light and part of it is dark, which is better than all of it being in the dark.

"Miss, I have something I want to say, but I don't know if I should say it or not?"

Suddenly, Qiu Shuang spoke.

"What words?"

Lu Yaoyao looked at her in surprise and continued, "Although the three of us are master and servant, in my heart, you are no different from my sisters. If you have anything to say, just say it."

"Slave, I always have a feeling that Mr. Wang De is very kind to the young lady."

"No, to be precise, when he looks at you, he always has a kind look in his eyes."

"Huh? Really?"

Lu Yaoyao frowned and began to think.

"That's right, not to mention that I haven't noticed it yet, but if you say that, I also feel it."

Qiu Yu also spoke from the side.

Lu Yaoyao had never noticed this, but when they mentioned it, she thought about it.

She had little interaction with Wang De. In the few times she did, Wang De would always take good care of her.

She didn't think much about it before, thinking that it was because Emperor Hongwen favored her that Wang De was polite to her.

After all, in the novels and film and television dramas she read in her previous life, royal princes like this would be very polite to the people His Majesty valued.

"Maybe it's just because of Your Majesty."

"Okay, Qiu Yu, go and gather all the Heiyun Shou at the village. I have something to say."

Not long after, Heiyun Shou came, and she briefly explained the imperial edict.

Luo Bai was asked to select two hundred people and arrange them to become her part.

The remaining one hundred people are still living as usual, living how they want.

"Cousin, why are you here?"

In the evening, Dong Zixiu arrived at Dong Qingyang's house.

But Dong Qingyang was still working, and the person who received him was Dong Qingyang’s wife Zhang.

"This is a great event for Qingyang to be promoted. Brother Yu just came back from some work. When he heard the news, he came over immediately to congratulate him. Isn't Qingyang back yet?"

"Yes, Your Majesty has handed over some errands, and I will leave at noon."

"Well, in that case, Brother Yu will go back first. If he comes back, my sister-in-law will tell him and let him take time to go to the house."

"OK."

Mrs. Zhang nodded quickly.

Although she is now the wife of Zuo Xiang, she still treats Dong Zixiu with great respect.

Not only because he is a direct descendant of the Dong family, but also because Dong Zixiu takes great care of their family.

Here, Dong Zixiu just got up and walked out, when he bumped into Dong Shuqing.

"Hey, why are you here too?"

Dong Zixiu looked at his son in surprise.

"Father."

Dong Shuqing cupped his hands and saluted Zhang next to him.

"I met my aunt."

Mrs. Zhang smiled and greeted.

"Father, Han Jingcong went home and said he wanted to see you."

"Han Jingcong?"

Dong Zixiu frowned and instantly understood what Han Jingcong wanted to say to him.

"Brothers and sisters stay, Brother Yu takes his leave first."

Mrs. Zhang bowed and saluted.
