Chapter 86: Xiao Yi Feng Hou (2)

Nan Baoyi sat on the embroidered pier.
She looked at Zhang Yuanwang leisurely, "Why wait is boring, Master Zhang, why don't we make a bet?"
In the past and present, Zhang Yuanwang is sorry for his big sister.
He owed her an apology for both lives.
Zhang Yuanwang raised his eyebrows, "What to bet on?"
"If our family really hides taxes, then my sister will marry you. If not, then you apologize to my sister."
Zhang Yuanwang pondered.
He didn't understand where Nan Baoyi had the courage to bet with him.
It is a fact that Nanjia hides taxes.
The shops of his Zhang family are still trying to hide taxes, let alone a big merchant like Nanfu?
Otherwise, how can you make more money?
Since this little girl doesn't know how to make a bet with him, then he just bet!
He shook his folding fan and smiled freely: "I bet with you!"
The accountants checked for three hours.
When the investigation was finally completed, the old accountant headed up and stood up, first saluted the people, and then respectfully turned to the Chang clan and Mrs. Nan.
He said loudly: "We looked through Nanjia's historical accounts and found that there were indeed problems."
Chang's was overjoyed.
Today's royal family attaches great importance to taxation. If anyone hides the tax, the person who reports it will receive half of the reward after verification.
Nanfu didn't know how much money he had greeted over the years, even if he only got half of it, it would be a lot of money for the Zhang family!
She stood up excitedly: "Did the Nan family hide a few million taels in taxes?!"
Millions of silver with snow pattern!
She has developed, and their family is going to glory!
Pearl hairpin jewelry, Shujin Lingluo, she can buy whatever she wants in the future!
Zhang Yuanwang turned to Nan Baorong triumphantly, "Baorong, it seems that you can't escape this marriage between us!"
Even the people in the city are all talking about it, wondering how Nanfu, which is extremely kind on weekdays, can do such absurd things as tax concealment.
Amidst all the accusations, the old accountant burst into tears.
He cried: "Mrs. Chang is wrong. The Nan family does not hide taxes... In the past three years, the Nan family not only paid taxes according to the truth, but also allocated 500,000 taels of snow pattern silver each year for building roads and bridges and funding. Academies, disaster relief, Nanjia is the home of great good!"
There was silence.
The old lady put down the tea cup and smiled: "The old gentleman was wrong. Our Nan family did not accumulate virtue in these three years, but started more than two hundred years ago. Our family will give out 500,000 taels of snowflakes every year. Silver tattoos, relief from the poor, and construction projects. Although no one in the Nan family has obtained fame, the ancestor's motto is: With thousands of buildings in the vast mansion, the world will be happy!"
At that time, Du Fu fell into despair and lived in the Caotang of Jinguancheng. He once wrote in "The Thatch Is Broken by the Autumn Wind":
There are tens of thousands of Ande Guangsha, and the world is full of joy!
Nowadays, Nanfu is rich and wealthy. Since there are already tens of thousands of Guangsha, it is natural to shelter the world from the dignified people!
The people present couldn't help crying.
Five hundred thousand taels of silver are donated every year. After more than two hundred years, how much silver has to be donated? !
A private school teacher couldn’t help but sigh with emotion:
The Zhouyi says that there must be Yuqing in the home of goodness. Nanfu accumulates virtue and good deeds, and it deserves to be splendid and wealthy! The honor of the richest man in Shu County is nothing but Nanfu. People can afford it!"
Other people nodded in agreement.
Chang's complexion was pale and his figure was shaky.
How is it possible that the Nan family is so rich, how can it not hide taxes? !
Shu County taxes, one of the ten taxes.
The Nan family earns so much money every year and has to pay a lot of taxes. Don't they feel bad about it? !
A highly respected and respected Confucian scornfully glanced at the Chang clan, "The Book of Changes still says that if there is a bad family, there will be a surplus. If you do more injustice, you will die, Zhang family, huh!"
Everyone laughed contemptuously, without saying anything.
Chang's face was flushed with embarrassment.
She has no face to stay here anymore, angrily said: "Wang Wang, let's go!"
"Hold on."
Nan Baoyi stopped Zhang Yuanwang, Dan Feng's eyes curved like crescents: "Master Zhang still owes my sister an apology."
Zhang Yuanwang glanced at Nan Baorong, his heart became angry, and he said coarsely: "I have been offended before, I'm sorry!"
After apologizing insincerely, he will leave with Chang.
At this moment, the sound of army boots suddenly came from all directions.
Countless soldiers appeared here, blocking the path of the mother and son.
The sound of horseshoes came.
Nan Baoyi looked at the young man on horseback with a handsome face and a golden jade quality. He stepped on military boots and dressed in a dark red embroidered burly beast to make up his official gown, which made him tall and majestic.
He walked to the gate of Nanfu and got off his horse.
Throwing the rein to Shiku, he took a seat on the armchair brought by the attendant.
The long legs overlapped naturally. He rolled up his arrow sleeves and smiled while curling his lips: "I heard that there was a disturbance here, so Xiao came to check it out."
Chang's face was embarrassed, and he wished to go home quickly.
She shouted angrily: "How dare you stop me with a mere six-rank defense?! I'm the wife of Du Wei's family!"
Zhang Yuanwang was also uncomfortable, "Xiao Yi, who gave you the courage to mobilize the army?! Hurry and take them away! If you don't know you, I will report to your father and ask him to dismiss you for investigation!"
Xiao Yi grinned: "You framed Nanfu for hiding taxes, do you think that this is the case?"
"I have already apologized to Nan Baorong, what else do I want?" Zhang Yuanwang was impatient, "Just guard, the accountant, who gave you the courage to interrogate us?! Pickled things, you see my dad, but you still have to Kneel and kowtow to him!"
He still insulted, the sound of horseshoes outside the long street, and a shrill high voice came from far away:
"The imperial decree is—"
Everyone present, except Xiao Yi, was shocked.
Jinguan City is three hundred miles away from Shengjing City. How can there be an imperial decree?
Whose decree is it, punishment or reward?
Before they could understand, when they saw the horse team with the bright yellow banners, their bodies had already knelt down subconsciously.
Even the old lady was supported by Nan Baorong, kneeling respectfully.
Across the Wuyang crowd, Nan Baoyi looked at Xiao Yi.
The Minister of Power looked indifferent, and he obviously knew that there would be an imperial decree today.
A guess emerged in her mind.
In the war of Yelang Kingdom, the Minister of Power has made great military merits. Could this imperial decree give him an official rank?
I just don't know, what officials will be bestowed?
Partial general?
Little general?
She could not guess.
The who preached the decree turned over and dismounted, unfolded the decree, and said with his throat:
"Feng Tian, ​​the emperor said: Zishu County defended Xiao Yi, in the battle of Yelang, killed thousands of enemies, offered more than 20 pieces, planned to win 16 battles, made a surprising plan to break the capital of Yelang, and live in First achievement in this battle! Xiao Yi has a rare young age, and I am so relieved that I am specially awarded the rank of Marquis of Jingxi, the second-ranked marquis of Jingxi.
After he finished reading, he smiled and looked at Xiao Yi.
The youth is handsome and beautiful, like a jade.
It's hard to imagine how invincible he is on the battlefield.
Xiao Yi thanked him calmly.
The nodded secretly.
An eighteen-year-old young man who will be honored as a general without arrogance or rashness is really rare. I am afraid that he will occupy a higher position in the future.
His smile was kind of pleasing, and he said cordially: "That day the emperor got up early in the morning and heard that Lord Hou had broken the capital of Yelang. He was so happy that he couldn't even wear his socks. He turned over two somersaults in the hall and praised Lord Hou for his fearful future. In the future, I can become a pillar of South Vietnam!"
Xiao Yi was noncommittal.
The old lady smiled and stepped forward and greeted: "The father-in-law came from a long distance, and the journey was exhausted. Please also go to the house to rest and let us treat you well."
"The old lady is polite!"
The crowds of black pressure entered the mansion together.
Chang's and Zhang Yuanwang's faces were green, white, red and black, which was so wonderful.
Second-rank Jingxihou, the official rank is much higher than that of a mere captain!
For all households in Shiyi, he will receive a fief with a population of tens of thousands, and he will have the right to collect taxes from the people!
This means that his title has real power!
Chang's tugged Zhang Yuanwang's sleeves and motioned to run.
It's a pity that the two of them were surrounded by soldiers before they ran a few steps.
Chang Clan bit his scalp and barely lost his smile: "Congratulations, Young Master Xiao, he was even named Jingxihou by the sage... This is a great event for Guangzong Yaozu!"
