?Canton Hall

Just when all officials felt deeply puzzled and jealous of Yan Yi's special "reward" for Ma Jin, Ma Jin, as the person involved, was also shocked by Yan Yi's imperial edict to confer him the title of earl.

However, Ma Jin had some understanding of Yan Yi's plan to pass on the world of literature and governance. Combined with Yan Yi's personality, Ma Jin figured out a lot of the meaning behind Yan Yi's move.

According to Ma Jin's estimate, Yan Yi praised him well this time, and even broke the rule that he had not been awarded a title or above for nearly thirty years. In addition to his real feeling that he had "worked hard and made great contributions", he took special care of his brother-in-law and confidant.

Yan Yi may also have another idea, that is, to reward himself for his work in the future, or to use this to reveal to the outside world his determination to promote the prosperous era of civil governance and lay the foundation for the compilation of the "Qiankun Encyclopedia".

…………

After all, regardless of status, court investment, scale of compilation, importance of content, and other aspects, the Geography is far inferior to the future "Canton Chronicle".

And that's true. Ma Jin was awarded the title of Earl by simply presiding over the compilation of the "Geographical Records".

It is conceivable that once the news of the compilation of the "Qiankun Encyclopedia" came out, the officials and countless folk scholars should have understood Yan Yi's ambitions and then began to think about how he got a share in the compilation of the "Qiankun Encyclopedia".

Set a model.

That's right, Yan Yi's move is to use Ma Jin as a model to create a generous image of his generous rewards to those who have made contributions.

Not only Ma Jin, but also a group of editors of "Geographical Chronicles" such as Leng Qingshu are typical examples established by Yan Yi. Although their reward for writing books is not as good as Ma Jin, they are definitely very generous in the previous sentence.

Not to mention anything else, Leng Qingshu was promoted to the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel for his merits, which was definitely a big step in the officialdom. It is true that there are some Leng Qingshu who have been with Hanlin Academy for many years, and the Ministry of Rites was one of the Hanlin Academy’s promotion yamen.

However, Hanlin served as countless bachelors in the presidency of the academy, and Leng Qingshu was the first to be promoted from the Hanlin Academy to the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites. The five-year contribution of compiling the "Geographical Records" here was of great use.

There are two conspicuous examples of Ma Jin who was awarded the title for the compilation of the "Geographical Records" and Leng Qingshu, who was promoted by exception. The officials and Confucian scholars probably welcomed the various measures to participate in the compilation of the "Qiankun Ceremony" and promote the prosperous era of civil governance.

This is exactly the effect Yan Yi wanted...

………

Ma Jin was not very disgusted with Yan Yi's ideas and meanings, and even Ma Jin wanted Yan Yan to use him as a model every day.

Joke, when a typical example becomes an earl, this kind of business that is stable and profitable, he will only push out the business out of the way...

Of course, Ma Jin, who had benefited, did not forget to play Yan Yi, and brought Leng Qingshu and others to thank him in the dynasty. Then he compiled the "Geographical Records" and praised Yan Yi's new emperor and new dynasty and new atmosphere.

In short, Ma Jin took the lead and compiled the officials of the museum and some officials who were close friends with Ma Jin, and gathered around Yan Yi to flatter him, and focused on some words that praised Yan Yi's civilized governance and wisdom.

After a court meeting, the king and his ministers were all happy, leaving behind a group of thoughtful ministers. While beginning to recall and figure out the information revealed in Yan Yi and Ma Jin just now, they couldn't help but sigh.

Tsk, the emperor ascended the throne for a year and finally got to take action...

…………

Ma Jin was too lazy to deal with the psychology of the officials, and he had nothing to do with him anyway. After getting off the court, he went to the Censorate for a walk, accepted the congratulations from his colleagues, sat for a while, and then resolutely skipped the shift home.

When Ma Jin returned to the Princess's Mansion by car, the news that he was named Wen Chengbo by Yan Yi had already reached the mansion. As soon as Ma Jin got off the car, firecrackers began to be set off in front of the Princess' Mansion. The butler Lian Sheng and his servants guarded him, congratulating to Ma Jin loudly with joy on his face.

"Congratulations to the prince and uncle."

Ma Jin, who was in a good mood, smiled even more when he saw such a celebratory scene and waved his hand: "Happy and happy together, so I'm happy today. Everyone in the mansion's salary this month has doubled."

"Xie the prince consort, Xie Boye"

Everyone was overjoyed, and the congratulations became louder and sweeter. Ma Jin smiled and said a few words to everyone, and called Lian Sheng to order.

"There is a reason for my title, so it should not be too ostentatious. Let's just celebrate with the door and don't mess around outside."

Although it was a typical example of Yan Yi's personal title, Ma Jin felt that he should not be too arrogant about his title, so as not to attract jealousy. He did not forget that the envious ministers with red eyes at the court meeting could not eat their expressions.

Although Ma Jin is not afraid of this kind of person, he does not want to be troubled by it anymore and end up in trouble.

Lian Sheng's words to Ma Jin were almost as imperial edict. As soon as Ma Jin ordered, Lian Sheng nodded and first introduced Ma Jin to the mansion, and then immediately acted according to Ma Jin's wishes...

…………

Lian Sheng, the butler of the Princess's Mansion, was busy outside, and Ma Jin also brought people to the backyard here.

As soon as he entered the door, Ma Jin had not seen the scene in the room clearly, he saw a small ball of meat bounce towards him, and directly staggered him. Fortunately, Zhu Hu helped him behind him, otherwise he, the new Wen Chengbo, would have to make a clown at his home before he was too enthusiastic.

Ma Jin stabilized his body. Before he could speak out the scolding to him, the "meat ball" had just begun to bow to him in a similar manner.

"Congratulations to my father for being named Earl, and he will be rich and prosperous in the future."

Seeing that his son, who had always been naughty, now knows how to stay at the door to congratulate him, Ma Jin disappeared a lot because of the unexpected accident of being hit, and his face was a little slow. Ma Jin was about to speak, but Xiao Ma Le continued to speak flattering words to his father.

"Dad, you are so amazing. I really admire you. You said that your son can make a great contribution like you and let my uncle give me a title."

For a father, nothing is happier than seeing his son worship him, and Ma Jin is no exception.

However, he knew that Ma Le had always been naughty and could only suppress but not praise him, and could not give him a good face.

So even if Ma Le's words were very pleased by Ma Jin this time, Ma Jin did not mean to praise him, but instead taught his son in a stern manner.

"The title of title must be awarded with great contributions. If you want to obtain a title based on your own ability, you must study hard, obey your parents' words, and work hard to enrich yourself, so that you can have the opportunity to achieve this goal."

"Ah? Feng Jue turns out to be so troublesome, so I will definitely not be able to do it myself."

When Ma Le heard what Ma Jin said, Ma Le wrinkled his little fat face and said, first with a bitter expression on his face, but soon he was overwhelmed with joy and looked at Ma Jin with a long eye.

"By the way, my mother said just now, Dad, your title is inherited for three generations, which means that you are going to die, and your title is mine.

Dad, when will you die?"

Ma Jin: “………”

Huh, this is the real son, you can't be beaten to death... This little bastard, if you don't beat him to death, will you still keep him for the New Year.........
