Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

Xiao Lan was very happy when she heard the imperial decree. She didn't even hear what the official in front of her called out. It was Zhang who pulled her up.

After the imperial edict was read, Shen Liu asked the prefect to accompany the imperial envoy back first, and then the village head also led the villagers to disperse.

Shen Liu was not in a hurry to leave. Sheng Xuan invited him into his house for tea. Xiao Lan quickly made some hot tea and brought it over.

Sheng Xuan was still confused. He was already confused by the emperor's reward. He couldn't believe it in his heart. It was just wheat grown at home, how could he get such a big reward? This was very unreasonable.

The one hundred taels of gold bestowed by the emperor were covered with bright red silk and piled on the table in the main hall.

Shen Liu noticed that Xiao Lan's eyes were always glancing at the table. When he took the hot tea handed to him by the little girl, his eyes could not help but follow the little girl's gaze, and then fell on the gold bestowed by the emperor.

"Why don't you open it and take a look?" Shen Liu said with a smile.

Xiao Lan was eager for him to say that, and hurried over. She grabbed a corner of the silk cloth and peeled it off. She saw the gold ingots neatly stacked on it. If she hadn't been concerned about Shen Liu's presence, Xiao Lan would have wanted to throw herself on the gold ingots and roll over.

Perhaps her expression was too vivid, Shen Liu actually burst out laughing.

Xiao Lan quickly controlled her expression.

"Are you satisfied?" Shen Liu also straightened his face and asked.

"Thank you, General Shen." Xiao Lan bowed to Shen Liufu with a smile.

"Why are you thanking me for the things the emperor has rewarded you with?" Shen Liu asked deliberately.

"Of course I am grateful to His Majesty, but if it weren't for the general's kind words, we wouldn't have received his reward." Xiao Lan hurriedly expressed her gratitude to Shen Liu.

Although this was a contract between the two, Sheng Xuan's successful acquisition of the official position and the huge rewards his family received were definitely related to Shen Liu's memorial, which definitely gave a lot of credit to Xiao Lan's family. Of course, this was also related to the fact that they accidentally got the defense map during this operation.

"This is what your family deserves." Shen Liu gestured to Xiao Lan.

"I understand." Xiao Lan nodded, indicating that she understood Shen Liu's meaning. The theft of horses and the unexpectedly obtained defense map were secrets that should never be told. However, the fact that Xiao Lan's family could get so many rewards this time was already enough.

In addition to money, fame and fortune, there is also the benefit of being exempted from the Ding and taxes, which is also very precious. After all, if the annual Ding and taxes are converted into silver, they are also worth a lot of money.

Xiao Lan is a man who knows when to stop. "General, even if we don't have the 100 taels of gold, even if we don't exempt the capitation tax, as long as my father can be an official to encourage agriculture, my family will be very satisfied."

"General, if you still want to buy horses and if you don't have enough money, you can take all this gold."

Shen Liu couldn't help but stay on Xiao Lan's face for a moment when he heard her speak so generously. "Miss Xiao Lan, are you serious? Are you really willing to give it up?" Was the money-grubbing look he saw just now fake? Was her eyes shining when she saw the gold just now fake? How could she be willing to give all the gold to him after just looking at it for a while and not even touching it? Shen Liu stared at Xiao Lan's face at this time, trying to see her true reaction through the changes in her micro-expressions.

"General Shen, I would never say such a big thing casually. Of course, what I said is true." Xiao Lan said seriously. Sheng Xuan's official position is an honor and confidence that cannot be bought with any amount of money. As for the money, she is not bragging. With her family's current foundation, she will not have any trouble making this mere 1,000 taels of silver. The reason why she did not dare to work hard today was because she was afraid that her family could not protect so much wealth.

However, Sheng Xuan is now an official, although he is only a small eighth-rank agricultural official, but he is still an official, and his family has now stepped into the threshold of officialdom. The people and the officials are different, the people can be oppressed at will, but the officials cannot be oppressed just because you want to.

The emperor and Shen Liu had been so generous in rewarding her family, so of course she would return the favor. She didn't mind giving generous rewards.

He Ming wanted to open a horse farm, and the 300 horses he got this time were obviously not enough. He would have to spend a lot of money to buy horses in the future. This was just the initial expense. You have to know that it costs a lot to raise horses well.

If she could really give this money away and make Shen Liu and Lord He owe her a favor, then she would make a fortune.

If you want to know what is the most precious thing in this world, Xiao Lan said that it is definitely not gold or silver, nor even power, nor even other things. No matter what era, whether it is ancient or modern, as long as there are human beings, the most precious thing in this world is human feelings.

Shen Liu was surprised to see that Xiao Lan really wanted to give him the money. He was stunned for a moment and then started laughing.

He Ming and Shen Liu obviously also understood the same idea.

It's no wonder that the girl is so rich. It's rare to find a girl who dares to make choices like this.

Does Xiao Lan love money? Obviously she does, there is no doubt about that, but although she loves money, she is not fanatical about it. She loves money openly and never hides it, but she is also very generous when she spends money.

She cherishes money, but she is not greedy. She knows the importance of things and knows how to be grateful. She knows how to measure things just right. It can be seen that she is a girl with seven senses, but kind-hearted.

"This gold is a reward from His Majesty. You should keep it for your own use." Shen Liu said slowly.

"Oh." Seeing that Shen Liu didn't want her family's gold, she still felt quite regretful. After all, who would complain about having too many debts of favor?

Seeing Xiao Lan looking rather depressed, Shen Liu couldn't help but tease her, "What? Now that you're very rich, you don't even care about this one hundred taels of gold?" Shen Liu sat on the chair and glanced at Xiao Lan.

Just now Sheng Xuan was called out to greet the servants, while Zhang took Xiaoting to boil water in the kitchen. Only Shen Liu, He Ming and his two followers, Xiaolan and Xiaowen were left in the room.

Xiao Lan was very smart, so she naturally understood what Shen Liu meant by joking, and quickly clarified, "One hundred taels of gold, I have never seen so much money before, and my family doesn't have the ability to earn so much money all at once." "I just thought that it would cost a lot of money for Lord He to open a horse farm, and I just wanted to help."

Shen Liu's eyes rolled.

"Can you make the decision in this family?" Shen Liu suddenly asked.
