She sighed, "In fact, I never told you my title because I was afraid that you would bully me."

"Your Majesty...has made me a duke."

Seeing the two apprentices open their mouths wide as if they had never seen the world, Xu Xinshu felt that she should have revealed something to them before. Who knew that these two little fools actually felt that they had no future under her tutelage.

Ah Luo muttered blankly: "Brother, we are like the protagonist in that storybook. We met a strange old man on the road, and were surprised to be accepted as his disciple. We thought he was just an ordinary old man, but it turned out that the master we worshipped was a great master."

Old man Xu Xinshu: "......"

There was a cross on her head. It turned out that there were two kinds of people sleeping in the same bed, and both of them were very annoying.

Before her disciples could say something to piss her off, Xu Xinshu interrupted them, "I don't understand these twists and turns either. My brother said that His Majesty gave me this extremely high reward to set an example for others, so he held it high."

"The title of nobility is not given out wholesale. Not everyone can have it. Only your eldest brother has obtained a county title."

"A few of the others were given honorary titles, and most of the others were given silver bounties."

She looked at the girl and thought for a moment.

"A Luo... I remember he was given the title of Tongzhilang from the sixth rank."

"From the sixth rank?!"

Ah Luo repeated in shock.

In better counties, the county magistrate is only of the sixth rank!

So if she goes to the government office in the future, will she be able to get along well with the county magistrate and his brother?

No, what was she doing going to the government office?

For a moment, all kinds of strange thoughts flashed through Ah Luo's mind as she tried to digest her shock.

The senior brother happily put his arm around her shoulders and shook her.

"Junior sister, you are much more capable than your brother-in-law now! He is not even an assistant professor at the Imperial College."

When A Luo finally reacted, he was a little frightened.

"But, but I didn't do anything. I just listened to Master's words."

Xu Xinshu put her finger to her lips and hushed.

"I've said it before, you are useful to the country."

"Every time you make a little more progress, tens of thousands of people are saved from starvation, but you just don't see it."

"But Her Majesty is very clear about rewards and punishments. She has seen all your contributions."

She has always been the child who rescued her from the Kong family seventeen years ago, and she is also the noble person who has rescued countless people.

When you are in a high place, a single move can affect the whole body.

The silk threads attached to her hands pulled so many numb puppets out of the mud that she couldn't even count or remember them.

If you want to close it, keep it secret.

Her false image of stupidity really deceived many people, but fortunately she finally regained her sense of justice.

After the repaired censor's rice paper was presented, the people nearby were excited.

Those who got the news were gossiping excitedly: "What is that? What is Tong Zhilang?"

"He is an official as high as the county magistrate."

"What! So big!"

By the time the news reached A Luo's parents' home, it had already spread that she had become the county magistrate.

When his family came to ask about it, Luo was speechless: "How is that possible?"

"Where did you hear this rumor? This is too outrageous."

Sister Luo and her husband breathed a sigh of relief.

The most painful thing is when the sister you have always looked down upon suddenly becomes successful.

"I knew it. How could you be a county magistrate if you don't even have any achievements?"

Sister Luo reprimanded earnestly, "I don't know where this rumor came from. If it gets out of hand and reaches the government, we'll be in trouble."

"This is impersonating an official, which is definitely a serious crime. Could it be that this was spread from you, my sister?"

"Ah Luo, I know you have been vain and have bad behavior since you were young. But those were just minor things. If you do this now, it will really bring trouble to the whole family!"

"You should go and clarify this with everyone immediately, or your whole family will be killed by you!"

Now, the whole family looked at her with an unfriendly eye.

Ah Luo felt a little regretful. He wondered why he had to come out to meet this group of boring people. He was too lazy to pay attention to his sister's little thoughts.

She explained in a few words: "He is not a county magistrate, but a Tongzhilang of the sixth rank."

My mother’s family: “?”

! !

Brother-in-law Yu asked tremblingly: "What did you say...?"

As soon as Ah Luo saw it, she knew that her achievement had hit her brother-in-law, who was always so arrogant.

Now, my mood, which was already happy because of the title, became even more cheerful!

I really don't understand, we are all educated people, why some people can respect others.

People like her brother-in-law look down on them, the peasants, and don't even pretend to be nice.

Even His Majesty values ​​them, so how can a mere gentleman think that they are of low status?

Now she would no longer doubt that her master was just coaxing her, but that these fools were short-sighted!

Ah Luo was like a proud little swan, and replied to him: "It is a sixth-rank Tongzhilang, an official of the same rank as a county magistrate."

"Maybe they misheard it, and passed it on until it became like I was the county magistrate."

A Luo took it for granted.

"My master said that agriculture and sericulture are what the court values ​​most. What we are doing is benefiting the world and the people."

"No wonder you've been around for so long and are still just a gentleman."

"I am short-sighted. I think I am very high up because I have read a few words. I even look down on us."

"I have achieved fame through farming, don't you, a teacher, have any?"

Seeing their pale faces, the long-standing depression finally eased.

......

In preparation for war.

After raising the status of agricultural talents, Bei Jingchu also planned to change the rules of distinguishing between scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans.
