The grass in the factory should be plucked

When Jiang Li received the order from Peregrine Falcon, his eyes went dark. Isn't this just shooting himself in the foot?

Not only did they fail to get rid of Longmen, but they also added the Li family business and many imperial merchants!

Aunt Lian was shocked that the girl was promoted to a second-rank official!

You know, her biological father, Jiang Xiuyuan, was only a third-rank minister of the Ministry of Works before!

Although Jiang Li had the title of Marquis of Jing'an and the title of Dragon and Tiger General, he had no real job. Only now did he have a formal official status.

Not only is she the unprecedented female marquis in the history of the Great Chu, but she is also the unprecedented female official!

The guards Qingfeng Mingyue, as well as Zhen'er and Zhu'er, all congratulated him: "Congratulations, my Lord, on your promotion to the second rank!"

Jiang Li cried, "I don't want to go to court!"

In the past, she had no official status and could find excuses to avoid attending court. But now that she is an official of the second rank, she can no longer avoid the daily morning court!

"This Marquis will not return to Beijing!" Jiang Li went back to his room angrily.

Xie Changan smiled and said, "It's still too early to return to the capital. It will take at least one or two years to pacify southern Xinjiang. Besides, you are pregnant now. The emperor can't ignore your health and call you back."

He held her in his arms and chuckled, "Besides, the Southern Expedition Army can't do without you, and I can't do without a military supervisor."

Jiang Li's eyes lit up: "Yes, after we defeat Southern Xinjiang, shouldn't we settle accounts with Mongolia? We can't go back to the capital."

Mongolia bribed the secret door and intended to kidnap her, and the account has not been settled yet!

Anyway, the General Administration of Commerce still has Brother Yinjiu and Eunuch Yuanbao. When she returns to Beijing in a few years, these two people will be able to handle things on their own, and she can continue to be a hands-off boss.

Well, I decided happily!

Compared to Jiang Li's reluctance, the people at Longmen Trading Company were delighted.

After being promoted to the Longmen Trading Company, Cui Jing was unexpectedly awarded a sixth-rank official position, and was stunned for a moment.

Although he was talented, he failed in the examinations many times and felt that his official career was hopeless, so he accepted Cui Jue's invitation and became the host of the Longmen Yaji, which was at least a prestigious job.

Unexpectedly, after joining Longmen and following Jiang Li, he rose rapidly from the position of host of an elegant gathering to the head of Longmen Bookstore. He was admired by talented people all over the world and had the potential to become a leader in the literary world.

Now, a huge pie of a sixth-rank official position suddenly fell from the sky, almost knocking him out.

You know, there is a world of difference between a commoner and an official!

Cui Jue smiled and said, "They say that Marquis Jing'an is a lucky star. Today I finally believe it."

As the saying goes, when one person succeeds, the whole family will prosper. All those who follow her will also rise with the tide and become successful.

Cui Jing was filled with gratitude: "It's all thanks to the support of the Marquis and my brother!"

Even more confused than him is Manager Liu.

After receiving the imperial edict, Manager Liu heard that he had become a seventh-rank official, and he fainted on the spot with a bang!

"Master Liu, no, Lord Liu, what's wrong with you?"

"Quick, send it to Longmen Medical Bureau!"

His men were suddenly in a panic.

After Manager Liu woke up slowly, he held the imperial edict and read it again and again, tears streaming down his face.

"My Lord, how could I deserve your support?"

He was an orphan. After being taken in by Mr. Fang, he worked hard and became a steward in the Fang family.

Later, Fang Yi entrusted a large sum of money to the care of his son, and he only wanted to keep the money well and hand it over to the young master in the future, so as not to let down the old man's kindness to him.

Unexpectedly, after following the young master, his status continued to rise, and now he has changed his status and become an official!

From then on, his Liu family also became a family of officials!

The Liu family's ancestral tomb was not only emitting smoke, it was almost on fire!

Manager Liu laughed out loud, “Hahahaha…”

When his men saw him crying and laughing, they thought he was crazy and didn't know what to do for a moment.

Manager Liu wiped his tears and said, "I'm fine. Come on, prepare the offerings and go worship my young lady!"

Hurry up and tell the young lady that she is now a second-rank official. A second-rank official is a high-ranking official that the Fang family dare not even dream of!

The Jiang family was also shocked.

Madam Jiang was overjoyed: "Quick, go set off the firecrackers, our family has a second-rank official!"

Everyone knows that a second-rank official who holds real power is much more valuable than the title of Marquis of Jing'an.

The Director General of the Department of Commerce, who is in charge of the imperial merchants of the world, is a lucrative and lucrative position!

The three young masters of the Jiang family went to do it happily.

The sound of firecrackers at the gate made the place very lively. The crowd watching the excitement all knew that this was the maiden home of the female marquis, and they also knew about the grudge between her and the Jiang family. They couldn't help but talk about it and say all kinds of things.

"Master Jiang, if you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place?"

"As the saying goes, a good wife brings less trouble to her husband. If he hadn't married Yu, that housewife..."

"That's right. If it weren't for the Yu family, with Miss Fang as his lovely wife, the Fang family's huge wealth, and such a powerful young lady, Master Jiang would be a complete winner in life!"

Jiang Xiuyuan had mixed feelings in his heart and he couldn't describe how he felt.

He never expected that the high step that he had been dreaming of, working tirelessly to climb, would be easily climbed by his little daughter in one step.

She is only seventeen years old this year!

It seems that entering the cabinet and becoming a prime minister is within reach.

Hearing Madam Jiang happily saying "There is smoke coming out of the Jiang family's ancestral grave", I couldn't help but shake my head and sigh. A'li has married into the Xie family, and I don't know whose ancestral grave the smoke is coming out of?

Jiang Feng and the other three were also very excited. Thanks to their younger sister, they were sent to Longmen Academy to study business. They heard that business students could compete for the posts of heads of local business bureaus. Although they were only small officials of the seventh or eighth rank, they were still real officials!

At that moment, everyone was ready to try and study hard behind closed doors.

The three sisters-in-law, Zhao, Zhou and Song, were also very excited. They found different ways to give their husbands nourishment every day. Although their father-in-law was dying, they still had hope for their husbands!

Sure enough, by holding on to the younger sister's thigh, even if she can't eat meat, she can still drink some soup, and even her husband has become motivated!

The imperial merchants were very well-informed. Originally they were under the management of the Imperial Household Department, and when they heard that there had been a new General Department of Commerce, and that the new director of the General Department of Commerce was none other than the female marquis, they all became restless.

Especially in Shu, Shu brocade was originally a tribute, and the competition among imperial merchants was very fierce.

When I heard that the new director was Marquis Jing'an, my eyes suddenly lit up. Wasn't she in Dali?

Ever since the Southern Expedition Army conquered the Southern Barbarians and the imperial court established Dali Prefecture here, well-informed merchants have all prepared to develop this new market.

Now that they had heard this great news, merchants from Shu, Yunnan and Guizhou all rushed to Dali.

The Marshal's Mansion of the Southern Expedition was inexplicably filled with guests, and there was an endless stream of people coming to ask to see the general and Marquis Jing'an every day.

Xie Changan announced that Marquis Jing'an needed to take care of his pregnancy and would not see anyone.

The daily gift lists are still handed in like water.

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Tell the concierge that if anyone gives any more gifts, they will all be used as military funds. Ask him to leave his name and thank him for donating to the Southern Expedition Army."

This is a good way to save money for His Majesty.

We can set up a "Gentlemen Donation Honor Roll" in the future to get rid of those who give gifts.

The person who gave the gift choked when he heard this and said, "I don't want to donate, I just have a request for something!"

Since then, fewer people have given gifts.

On this day, Xie Changan was walking in the garden with Jiang Li.

Qingfeng came to report with an embarrassed look on his face: "General, Lord, someone else came to give gifts."

Xie Changan was surprised and asked, "Didn't we say that all of it would be used as military supplies?"

Qingfeng scratched his head: "That... can it also be used as military supplies?"

Jiang Li was curious, what on earth could have made Qingfeng so embarrassed?

When the two of them went out, they saw two teams of beauties!

One team is made up of beautiful women of varying shapes and sizes, while the other team is made up of handsome men who look as handsome as Pan An!

Needless to say, this team of handsome men was prepared for Marquis Jing'an.

“Hahahaha…” Jiang Li laughed so hard that her body shook.

No wonder Qingfeng was in a dilemma. How could he use these beauties as military supplies?

The two groups of beauties, seeing a pair of beautiful ladies walking out of the Marshal's Mansion, who were even more beautiful than themselves, could not help but stare in amazement.

Who would have thought that the handsome and heroic general, who looked like a god of war, smiled evilly: "How can we not provide military funds? The men will be sent to feed horses, and the women will be made camp prostitutes."

These beauties suddenly lost their color and knelt on the ground crying, "General, spare us. We are all from good families. We were bought by those merchants because our families are poor..."

"Someone, take them down!"

Xie Changan shouted loudly, and immediately a group of soldiers rushed over and tied up these beauties and the people who gave them gifts.

"Send it to the Yunnan-Guizhou Governor's Office and ask him to investigate whether there is any human abduction."

"Yes, I will follow the general's orders!"

From then on, no one dared to send gifts to the Marshal's Office of the Southern Expedition.
