A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

Emperor Qiyuan still believed Chen Shijun's words, because Chen Shijun had just entered the officialdom not long ago, and he was still a clean stream without so many twists and turns.

Emperor Qiyuan said: "If that is the case, then such people should be rewarded. Only by clearly distinguishing rewards and punishments can more people follow suit.

But how should I reward them?"

As we all know, the imperial court is in need of money right now, so it is impossible to give out gold and silver as a reward. Otherwise, if we donate the money and then give it out as a reward, wouldn't that be a waste of time?

If money cannot be rewarded, then either land or a house can be rewarded. If the person is a man, he can be rewarded with a small official position.

But as for this woman, Emperor Qiyuan didn't know what kind of reward to give her!

Emperor Qiyuan didn't know Shen Qingqian, but the Crown Prince did.

He understood his fifth brother's thoughts. He thought that Shen Qingqian was rich and could buy any house or land by herself. The only thing she couldn't buy was her status.

Shen Qingqian wanted to be with Zhao Yichen, but her status as a peasant girl was too far away. Therefore, the prince decided to help Shen Qingqian. Taking this opportunity, he raised her status to a higher level, so that the distance between Shen Qingqian and his fifth brother could be shortened.

So he stood up and said, "Father, I think that under the current situation, the house and the land are not suitable as rewards. Why not, let Shen Qingqian be made a county lord!"

Emperor Qiyuan naturally understood what the prince said. Selling the house and land would also make money!

Therefore, Emperor Qiyuan felt that the prince's proposal made sense. For the court, the county lord was only given a title, and there was no need to grant a house or fiefdom. Only a dozen taels of silver in salary was needed every month. This was indeed the most appropriate approach.

Therefore, Emperor Qiyuan made the final decision and directly drafted an edict to confer the title of Princess Qingyi on Shen Qingqian.

Chen Shijun knew that it was unknown when the war would end, and the money could only solve the immediate problem, and he would need to raise silver later. That was why the emperor gave such a reward to encourage merchants to follow suit.

However, he was still very happy for Shen Qingqian.

In the capital city, there are dignitaries everywhere, and the county lord is indeed not a very high-ranking official.

But in Ping'an Town, the identity of a county lady is enough to bring honor and respect to her!

Moreover, with the official position, it would be easier for Shen Qingqian to do business in the future.

Shen Qingqian returned to Ping'an Town, and the hot pot restaurant became busy again. During the days when she was away, the landlord of the shop also came, and Shen Qingfeng had already paid the silver and bought the hot pot restaurant.

Shen Qingqian then remembered that the lease she had rented for a year had expired, which meant that she had been in this world for more than a year.

Liangzi has already gone to school, and Wang Keer's belly has grown bigger. It is estimated that she will give birth before the end of the year.

Shen Qingqian felt that life was getting better and better!

Shen Qingqian received the imperial edict conferring her the title of county lord on the third day after she returned to Ping'an Town.

The imperial edict was delivered to Shen Qingqian by Chen Shijun and a eunuch named Xia. The moment she received the edict, she was stunned. She didn't expect such an unexpected gain!

Shen Qingping, Shen Qingfeng and Shen Qinglan were all very surprised and felt that their younger sister was the lucky star of the family.

Shen Qingqian didn't know that she received such an honor mainly because of the help of Crown Prince Zhao Yize. She just thought that it was Chen Shijun who helped her get it.

So she sincerely thanked Chen Shijun and gave Eunuch Xia a thick red envelope.

Chen Shijun said a lot of good things for Shen Qingqian in front of the emperor, but he didn't dare to take all the credit. He told Shen Qingqian everything about how the prince made the suggestion.

Shen Qingqian thought that this prince, who had only met her once, was quite kind-hearted. Of course, she also knew that part of the reason why the prince helped her was because of Zhao Yichen!

Chen Shijun was very high-profile when he came. When Shen Qingqian received the order, he set up an incense table at the door and called out everyone in the hot pot restaurant and the inn, and asked them to kneel down to receive the order.

Therefore, many people came to watch. The news that Shen Qingqian was named the Princess of Qingyi County spread throughout Ping'an Town in less than two days.

Coincidentally, when Eunuch Xia was reading the imperial edict, Gao Xiuwen and his mother Zhang were among the onlookers.

Gao Xiuwen had just returned from Xiangyang City after taking the provincial examination, and his mother came to the town specifically to wait for him.

Gao Xiuwen felt that he had done quite well in the exam, so he thought that if he could pass the exam this time, he would ask Shen Qingqian to marry him again and make her an official's wife.

He originally wanted to divorce Shen Jiao, but Shen Jiao preferred to be a concubine rather than leave the Gao family. Gao Xiuwen had no choice but to let her go, thinking that as long as she didn't prevent him from remarrying in the future, it would be fine.

He believed that as long as he could pass the exam, Shen Qingqian would never reject him again.

So he suggested to Zhang that they go to Shen Qingqian's restaurant to have hotpot for lunch.

Of course Zhang knew what her son was thinking. She knew that Gao Xiuwen had long regretted breaking off the engagement with Shen Qingqian, and she also knew that Gao Xiuwen had long regretted choosing Shen Jiao!

In addition, she had always liked Shen Qingqian and wanted to win Shen Qingqian back, so she agreed to her son's request. The mother and son went to the hot pot restaurant together with hope.

However, when the two of them arrived at the place, they happened to see Shen Qingqian kneeling down to receive the order!

Gao Xiuwen also clearly heard that Shen Qingqian was named Princess Qingyi.

Gao Xiuwen was stunned! He looked at Shen Qingqian who was kneeling there with her back straight, and thought she was so dazzling!

From a little girl in the countryside, to opening her own shop and leading a good life with her sisters, to now being named a county lady. Such a dazzling woman was once his fiancée!

And he, regardless of the consequences, broke off the engagement with such a woman!

Gao Xiuwen just felt dazed for a moment, and it was from this moment that he realized that since he broke off the engagement, Shen Qingqian had been walking ahead of him!

Until now, he has not passed the imperial examination, but Shen Qingqian already holds an official position!

Therefore, Shen Qingqian is now someone he cannot reach!

How could Gao Xiuwen still have the heart to eat hot pot? If he went near Shen Qingqian at this time, he would only bring shame upon himself!

Zhang was not an ignorant woman. Seeing this situation, she could only sigh with regret and take her distraught son away.
