Chapter 179 All kinds of envy
"The Lord has been promoted again, now he is a third-class viscount!" The villagers who heard the news couldn't believe their ears. How long has it been? It's less than ten months. They just came back and were still a third-class baron. In the blink of an eye, they improved to a higher level.
What's even more incredible is that the territory has expanded ten miles at once and has been upgraded to a town. During the slack season for half a year, wouldn't it be that there would be a chance to work and make money...
After a while, the stunned villagers reacted and suddenly burst into cheers, which scared the wolf cub and bared his teeth at everyone.
"Our Xingchen Ling is now a small town. Will it become a small town or even a big city in the future!"
"Is this a matter of saying? In the future, Xingchen Leader will definitely be better than Hongyuan City!"
"Jiang Jue is only seventeen years old now, he is already a viscount. He will definitely become the Grand Duke in the future!"
"That's right, Mr. Jiang's ability may be able to marry a princess and become a prince in the future!"
"Absolutely, on the Lord's birthday, who was that beautiful woman who didn't look like a human... By the way, she was the commander of the First Legion, and she came in person!"
"Don't talk nonsense, what does it mean to be as beautiful as a human being! Xiao Wu said that he is the goddess in the hearts of all young men in the empire!"
"Yes, our Lord will definitely be able to turn back and make that goddess..."
Jiang Xingchen was speechless. Why did these people go to the marriage after talking? It’s a crooked building... Besides, let’s get married, let’s get rid of Tang Chuxue! I won’t let anyone fight to the point of getting married!
Mei'er's face was also sunk, her lips tightly pursed, and she felt a little confused! In the past, many noble ladies wrote courtship letters to her brother, and she regarded it as a joke! But this time, for some reason, listening to the villagers' words, she felt that her favorite thing was going to be taken away by someone else.
"Okay!" Jiang Xingchen pressed his hands down, and the excited villagers calmed down.
With his eyes swept over everyone, Jiang Xingchen slowly said: "Our Xingchen leader has been upgraded to the town and can already plan the administrative management department... I decided that in the future, the management personnel of the town will use our own people!"
"Boom~" The villagers were in chaos again. Everyone knew that the empire stipulated that only by becoming a noble can one serve as officials in the territory. What does the Lord's words mean? That is to say, all of them may become a noble.
The ancestors were all civilians for generations, and such a great news suddenly fell from the sky. Everyone was so dizzy that they were knocked out, and they only knew how to cheer loudly, but their minds were blank.
"In the future, Du Rushan will serve as the Sheriff of Xingchen and be responsible for public security! Han Xiaowu will serve as the adjutant... Uncle Shi Wazi is responsible for farming, and you will solve any problems related to farming... Grandpa Fu is temporarily responsible for taxation, and you will be more worried about all tax matters that Xingchen receives!"
Du Rushan and Han Xiaowu are fine. They are originally barons. Although they are excited about becoming the first group of officials in Xingchen Territory, they can still control them.
Shi Wazi and Grandpa Fu were completely confused! They didn't expect that the Lord Jue had just said that they had the opportunity to become nobles, so they immediately arranged an errand.
"Sir... that, we are not nobles yet!" Shi Wazi said aloud.
"It's okay! The territory has not been fully built now! You are temporarily taking charge of two positions, and I have prepared my future aristocratic status for you!" Jiang Xingchen said with a smile.
"Prepare it for us!" The two of them were stunned again.
"Don't think too much. If you do your job well, I'll solve the other problems!" Jiang Xingchen said with a smile, then pulled Mei'er and turned back into the house.
The people in front of the lord's mansion did not leave, and were still in a huge shock and surprise.
"Just now, I heard it right! What Master Jiang meant is to give us aristocratic identity!"
"That's right! Shi Wazi and Grandpa Fu have been appointed by the Lord as the first batch of officials in our territory!"
"Oh!" Everyone woke up and hulked around Shi Wazi and Grandpa Fu, bowing with envy, making the two of them feel a little at a loss.
"These civilians are so lucky. They are so happy to catch up with such a lord!" The old man sighed in his heart. He used his own territory to use his own people. There is nothing to say about this, many lords are like this. But in order to use his own people, he specially created a noble status for civilians. I guess no one can do it except Jiang Xingchen. He can still use his contributions.
Du Rushan and Han Xiaowu were also a little envious of Shi Wazi. It was like a bun falling from the sky, and it was a huge one.
At this time, Mei'er was a little depressed in the room. She lowered her head and sat on the chair without saying a word. Although she knew that her brother would definitely get married in the future, she felt uncomfortable.
"Mei'er, what's wrong! Brother is rewarded, are you unhappy?" Jiang Xingchen walked over and rubbed the little girl's head with a smile.
"Good!" Mei'er raised her head and held the corners of her mouth to both sides.
"Smiling so hard, little liar!" Jiang Xingchen tapped Mei'er and asked, "Did you see if your brother is giving the aristocratic status for Uncle Shi Wazi and Grandpa Fu, but he didn't do it for you, so I'm unhappy!"
Mei'er bulged her mouth and finally didn't say anything, lowering her head a little.
"You!" Jiang Xingchen rubbed Mei'er's head and said, "I like to keep it in my heart for anything. I have told you that this is not good, but you just don't listen... You don't think about it, how could my brother forget you! But you have to wait until you turn fifteen next year..."
As Jiang Xingchen was talking, Mei'er suddenly raised her head and asked, "Brother, if you get married to Sister Tang Chuxue, will you ignore me in the future?"
She couldn't ask at first, but when she heard her brother say that she was used to being stuck in her heart for everything, she instantly plucked up her courage.
"Uh!" Jiang Xingchen was stunned for a moment, and then realized why Mei'er was unhappy, and couldn't help but laugh.
"You girl! My brother is only seventeen years old and has never considered this matter!"
"But my brother always has to grow up and get married sooner or later!" Mei'er continued to ask.
"Then there is no possibility for brother and the commander of the legion! He is a master of the realm of vitality. I heard from the old man that when he reaches the realm of vitality, he can easily live a hundred years old! I have no cultivation and I am completely from two worlds with him... Besides, even if my brother gets married in the future, you will be my dearest sister. How could my brother ignore you! Unless someone takes you away from me!"
The last sentence was expressed, and somehow, Jiang Xingchen suddenly felt extremely reluctant in his heart.
"Hmph! I'm not getting married, so I'll keep following my brother!" Mei'er finally showed a happy smile, got up and took Jiang Xingchen's arm.
"Just talk nonsense!" Jiang Xingchen also laughed. The little girl is only fourteen years old now and her body has not been properly conditioned yet. Why do you think so much?
"Brother, you just said that you will wait until I turn fifteen next year... What have you prepared for me again?" Mei'er also put down her thoughts just now and asked.
"Hehe, keep it confidential! You will know then!" Of course Jiang Xingchen would not tell her now.
"Then brother tell me, did Wu Song beat Jiang Menshen?"
"Uh! This..."
"Then brother, wait for tomorrow morning to become a beautiful face!"
"Okay, I'll tell you!"
The next day, the lords of several villages around and the nobles in several small towns learned about the news. Such a grand reward had long been circulated.
It expanded ten miles and was upgraded to a town. Can it be more exaggerated? The lords were so envious that their eyes turned green. They had been guarding a village for several lifetimes, but they had been playing so big in a year.
With envy, several lords went to visit. They are now third-class viscounts, which are higher than their titles. Moreover, when the town is built in the future, they will use more places to Jiang Xingchen!
Then, the craftsmen on Jiang Xingchen's side began to measure the land and prepared to build simple houses. They could not let the slaves they bought live in Hongyuan City all the time.
The happiest ones now are the villagers in Qingshan Village. From time to time in the past two days, villagers from other villages have come here to check the situation. They are just bragging about it with utmost ignorance.
Although Jiang Xingchen's legend is amazing, he heard that Jiang Jue Ye directly accepted his order to manage the territory by Shi Wazi and Grandpa Fu, and said that he would use his own people in the future, and the villagers in the surrounding villages were all saliva.
"Aristocrats! Is Qingshan Village favored by God? Mr. Jiang actually made a noble identity for them. Damn... why isn't it me!" The villagers of other villages wailed in their envy, wishing they could rush into Jiang Xingchen's lord's mansion, lying on the ground and shouting that the rich man was asking for support...
It was early September, and Sun Sanqiang and Feng Ji led 300 slaves to Hongyuan City.
At this time, Mo Hongxian, Zhao Danqing and others also returned from Qingshan Village. In order to prepare for the tour, Wanrou had too many things to do. Not only did she have to practice, but she also had to talk to the Imperial Academy about asking for people.
The same is true for Mo Hongxian, Zhao Danqing and others, and the mercenary group also has many tasks.
This time they came back, they also brought Jiang Xingchen's request to Sun Sanqiang. They asked him to find at least ten people, which was similar to the two actors who were talking crosstalk.
Of course, Sun Sanqiang, who received the news, did not neglect and immediately began to search everywhere. The matter of Lan Yucheng had already established absolute authority in the Sun family and mobilized much more people. Soon, he found ten people and quickly sent them to Xingchen Collector with the two earliest crosstalk actors.
At this moment, another reward order was issued in the Imperial Capital.
The commander of the First Legion, Tang Chuxue, had outstanding achievements in combat, defeated the Tianyi Kingdom, and was promoted to a first-class marquis. The First Legion, fighting bravely and fearlessly...
The entire First Legion, from top to bottom, almost everyone has the name of it. Those who died in battle received more pensions, while those who did not die in battle would either be promoted to official positions, obtain money, or become nobles!
