Daqin: A buff of incredible comprehension

"Come forward and listen!"

** He fetched the imperial edict from the side and stood up to read it. Lin Daoist immediately stood in a solemn salute. A large-scale ceremony of conferring honors and awards had begun. The Imperial Household Department alone promoted five junior officials at once, and hundreds of imperial edicts were presented.

The First Emperor trusted him greatly and approved whatever official position he requested, and the Ministry of Personnel also quickly cooperated in implementing it.

The imperial decree read: "By the grace of Heaven and the Mandate of Heaven, I hereby decree: Youwei Houwang, who has served the emperor diligently and diligently, and has made numerous contributions, is a pillar of the state. He is hereby appointed as the Junior Treasurer of the Thunder and Fire Department of the Internal Affairs Department, and granted a house of one hundred mu (approximately 100 hectares) north of the city, five hundred hectares (approximately 1000 sq m) of land, an annual salary of three thousand dan (approximately 1000 dan), and the seal, ribbon, and official uniform of the Junior Treasurer."

A maid brought a tray with clothes, a hat, a belt, and a seal. Wang Dali was overwhelmed with emotion: "I thank you! I thank the prefect for your promotion."

"Lao Lin, check your stuff."

** said with a smile. Although Lin Daoren claimed he wouldn't use it, he couldn't help but open the seal box. A gleaming golden seal lay quietly on the red silk, dazzling and captivating.

** teased, "How does it feel?"

Taoist Lin responded without hesitation, "Becoming an immortal is probably just like this."

"Hahaha!" Everyone laughed. "Being an official seems to be more interesting than cultivating immortality."

Everyone gradually came back to their senses from their dreamlike state and realized that Taoist Lin had indeed become the Shaofu, and had jumped from a commoner to an imperial noble.

"Qian Tieshan..." ** then turned to another page. "Old Hao?"

When asked, Taoist He replied, "It's a villain."

"You two are truly a match made in heaven."

"Step forward and receive your orders!" One after another, they received their promised official positions. The most dazzling were Taoists Lin and Hao, who were also awarded corresponding technical titles and doubled their salaries. Former craftsmen also received various mid- and low-level official positions. Even after the official positions and seals on the table were handed out, everyone was still immersed in joy.

**Coughed twice to attract everyone's attention. "Are you satisfied today?" "Do you feel that I have been unfair?"

Everyone shouted, "We are very satisfied!" "Your Excellency has been sincere and selfless to us. We are willing to repay you with our lives!"

If it weren't for your support, we would still be ordinary people.

"Good!" ** praised. "Since I haven't let you down, I'm in trouble now. Are you willing to help?"

"I will obey your orders, sir." "Please give your orders."

"Okay." Everyone agreed generously.

**Then he ordered Lin Shaofu: "According to the account books, the current cost of a square foot of glass is over 70 strings of cash. This needs to be reduced to less than 20 strings of cash. Develop at least three types of colored glass. Reduce the cost of soap to less than half, without changing the quality. Do you understand?"

Although Taoist Lin felt it was difficult, he still agreed. "I will do my best."

“Not only do you try your best, but you must complete it.”

Tian Shaofu and others received the same demanding tasks one after another, and the originally joyous atmosphere suddenly disappeared.

**The assignments were clearly laid out. By the end of the round, it was already evening, and everyone was leaving with their assignments, sharing their grievances. "Old Lin, do you still feel like you're in the immortal class?" Taoist He asked wryly. Taoist Lin looked at the official seal in his hand, his gaze resolute. "Cultivating immortality is a struggle against fate. With this opportunity, we must strive to become stronger."

No matter how difficult it is, we must work hard to complete the mission!

"Han Yu, what are you still doing standing there?"

Everyone received their official positions, except Han Yu. After the remaining official uniforms on the table were distributed, the official noticed Han Yu was still unmoved. "Come here quickly." "Me too?" Han Yu asked in surprise. He was the only one who felt embarrassed to approach because of his lack of achievements.

"Of course not." "Someone in the Weiwei Army has helped you get a status, and you will receive fifty shi of grain every month."

** said softly, handing it to him casually. Han Yu was flattered to accept this honor.

The Weiwei Army, which protected the capital, recruited warriors of clean family backgrounds and distinguished military achievements. Because of their crucial role in the imperial court's safety, the vetting process was extremely stringent. Due to Li Wen's unique background, gaining admission to the Weiwei Army proved a significant challenge. Ultimately, through the help of Yang Jinglan and the connections of his uncle, General Zhang Guang, Li Wen was finally able to gain admission.

"elder brother……"

Li Wen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he felt both excited and a little overwhelmed.

"take it."

"As long as you don't mention it in the future, no one will care about your past."

"Joining the Weiwei Army will be of great help to your future."

** warned earnestly.

"Thank you so much, brother!"

Li Wen bowed gratefully.

The Guards were essentially all loyal soldiers of the Qin imperial family, and were the most trusted armed force of the First Emperor. Li Wen was well aware of the significance of this status for his future development.

"By the way, my family is moving into a new house tomorrow, and my mother said that if you're free, you're welcome to come over for a drink as a token of our gratitude."

Li Wen held the clothes and token carefully, feeling like he had found a treasure.

"Haha, what a coincidence."

"Kitasaka Palace has a batch of old furniture that needs to be disposed of. You can go take a look and pick out some suitable ones to take back."

"It would cost a lot of money to buy it yourself."

"These are good items made of high-quality materials and will last for decades."

** said readily.

"Brother, this isn't appropriate." Li Wen hesitated. Things that originally belonged to the royal palace, even if they were abandoned, shouldn't be taken away casually.

"What's inappropriate?"

"I have already deleted these things from the list, so you can take them with you without worry. If you are worried about outsiders finding out, just erase the marks on them." ** whispered.

"Then...thank you, brother."

"I will definitely come to your house for a dinner tomorrow. I'll ask my mother to cook a few more delicious dishes," Li Wen said sincerely. "I'll ask someone to prepare a car for you."

**patted his shoulder comfortingly.

The Li family had suffered a great disaster before, and many valuable things in the house were sold out. Fortunately, they can now do a favor.

-

It was a dark night with a drizzle. Two women were waiting anxiously under two paper umbrellas on the street.

"Why hasn't he come back yet? Is he out having fun? He made us wait here for so long." Wang Yujiao complained repeatedly.

"Why don't you go back first and let me continue waiting for him alone." Prime Minister Zhao Lingrou advised.

"No!" she said stubbornly, "If I leave, won't it be a waste of time?"

"It's just a dinner, why bother with so much effort?" Wang Yujiao complained with a pout. Her understanding of the ways of the world was obviously different from Zhao Lingrou's.

The sound of carriage bells came from the street corner. The coachman was driving in the rain, pulling the reins forward, while ** was lying on his back in the carriage, as if the wind and rain outside did not exist in his dream world at all.

"You're finally back." Zhao Lingrou came to her senses and hurried to meet him.

"Hi, wait for me." Wang Yujiao rushed out a few steps, but was drenched by the rain and hid under the eaves again.

Seeing Xiangguo Da** like this, she couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. "Alas, you are too accommodating to him." Wang Yujiao thought to herself, but could only turn around helplessly.

"Is the spirit gentle?"

** rubbed her blurry eyes. "My husband came back late, and I made you worry."

"It's all Zhang Tong's fault for insisting on having that drink."

**, reeking of alcohol, mumbled, "But I also left him a difficult problem."

"Look here." ** reached out to feel for the lunch box, and after bending over and searching for a long time in the blurry vision, he finally found it.

"What is this?" Xiangguo looked at the drunken **'s **'s efforts to untie the hemp rope with interest.

"Let's go back home and take a look." Zhao Lingrou said with concern.

"No, let's take a look." ** Make a final attempt.

The ropes were successfully untied, and a hot and fragrant aroma hit me in the face: two huge river crabs, with a few fresh shrimps hidden underneath.

"River crabs are rare in March. And prawns are also very expensive." ** picked up the box of food with a smile on his face.

At this moment, Zhao Lingrou's heart was warm, and tears were slightly red at the corners of her eyes.

Watching her husband express his love so passionately, Wang Yujiao, who was far away, suddenly realized something, and her heart was in turmoil. She turned and rushed into the rain, feeling aggrieved and helpless, and questioned why she had waited for him.

The next morning.

The sun shines all over the earth and it is already noon.

"stand up!"

The constant noises interrupted the sleeping man's sweet dreams. His body was shaken roughly, and he looked up dazedly and asked, "What's going on...who is it?"

Su Yaoxuan didn't expect that the man would turn around. She hurriedly dropped the quilt and took two steps back.

"What's wrong with you today?"

"Am I bothering you by sleeping?"

Li Zhe deliberately lifted the quilt and sat naked on the edge of the bed to get dressed.

"You...why are you like this!"

"You are so shameless!" Su Yaoxuan covered her eyes and groped her way out.

"Honestly, we've been in the same boat for so many days, there's nothing wrong with squeezing in a little."

"What are you running away from?"

"Isn't Master Li the most loyal person?"

Li Zhe was only wearing his underwear and pretended to chase her.

"Who talks about loyalty with you!" Su Yaoxuan didn't dare to look back and ran out in a hurry.

"Ugh."

Li Zhe sighed and rubbed his dizzy head.

Last night, Qin Feng and I had a few drinks and got drunk before we knew it. He couldn't remember how he got home or even how he lay down. He finally got a chance to sleep in, but someone was messing with him. He changed his clothes and called Aba to get ready to wash up.

When I came out, I unexpectedly found Su Yaoxuan pacing back and forth outside the door.

"Why haven't you left yet?"

"I...I told you that Lord Lu is waiting for you. Didn't you hear me?"

"I've been waiting for three quarters of an hour." Su Yaoxuan said with a little anger.

"Oh, then let him wait another quarter of an hour. I'll go eat."

"Stop!" Su Yaoxuan stepped forward and grabbed his wrist. "Lord Lu looks tired. I'm afraid he didn't sleep all night last night. He must have something urgent to tell you."

"As a superior, how can you be so lazy?"

"It's almost noon."

"What's so surprising about this?" Li Zhe said confidently, "Since he's the Minister of the Imperial Household, he didn't sleep all night. As the Minister of the Imperial Household Department, I naturally have to sleep until this time. Otherwise, wouldn't my title be in vain?"

Su Yaoxuan glared at him.

"Mr. Li, why do you always look at me with displeasure lately? Is it your period?"

Li Zhe asked in a low voice.
