Chapter 1216

The shepherd of a state is equivalent to the prefect. Of course, the actual power is a little bigger than that of the prefect. After all, it is the military and political power of a state, which is equivalent to the official of the territory.

However, the former emperor abolished the state shepherds at that time. Except for the capital and the capital, they were all set up as prefects, weakening their powers. Later, the state shepherds became the honorary gifts after the death of the hero.

There is no practical benefit to him other than allowing him to be recorded in the history books and have an identity passed down.

Keke couldn't understand the meaning of this, but the human being was very excited, including its host, and jumped several times with joy.

It put three big question marks in Man Bao's mind, and Man Bao explained to him in detail, "Civil officials and military generals have made great achievements in order to seal their wives and sons, so that they can live a prosperous and rich life, and the second?"

Koko made a question mark.

Man Bao shook his head and said, "The second is to leave a name for Qing Shi."

"Up to the emperor, down to the people of Limin, who doesn't want to leave a name in the history?" Man Bao said: "My father does not have this title, no one will remember him except us. After a few generations, if we don't cultivate the genealogy , I am afraid that future generations will not know. But not now, he has a posthumous gift from the emperor, he can not only record it in the daily notes, but also record it in the actual records, in the history books, in the future, future generations will only need to open it. History books will know that there was such a person in the world who did such a thing."

Talking, talking, Man Bao became quiet and a little sad, "This is called Ai Rong after death."

Keke said: "Everyone is dead, what's the use?"

After thinking about it for a long time, Man Bao said: "If there is reincarnation, it is useful. If not, it is really useless for the dead, but it is useful for the living."

Yes, it is not only useful to living people, but also very useful.

Man Bao just learned the news on his front feet, and when he was riding in a carriage on his back to pick up Bai Shan and the others in front of Guozijian, a group of teenagers came out of the school with their shoulders on their backs, and when they saw her, they called "Miss Zhou" with a smile.

Even Bai Shan called her with a smile, "Miss Zhou."

Man Bao looked at them and asked, "Are you taking the wrong medicine?"

Bai Shan smiled and said happily, "You are now the young lady of the state shepherd's family, so we naturally have to be more respectful."

Man Bao thought about it for a while, and then bowed in return, "Then you are also the son of the Zhou Shepherd's family, so I have to respect you in return."

Seeing the two worship each other, Feng Zongping and others also joined in the fun and worshipped each other, "Aiya, the son of the Zhou Shepherd's family..."

"Oh, the master's son..."

"Oops, the young master of the Right Prime Minister's family..."

"Come on, here is the son of Jingzhao Yin's family..."

"Come on, Miss Zhou's shepherd's family..."

Only Bai Erlang's teeth were sore, and he grabbed the Feng Zongping people who were following him indiscriminately, "They worship them, why are you following along?"

Yi Ziyang said happily: "Why can't we join in the fun?"

Bai Erlang: "They are childhood sweethearts, and they are in the same family. What do you mean by worshipping together?"

When Feng Zongping heard it, he looked at the two people facing each other, put away his hand music and said, "It's true."

Bai Shan and Man Bao blushed and stood up straight.

When Ji Hao heard this, the smile on his face suddenly fell, and he said, "People say that high-class marrying a daughter, low-class marrying a daughter-in-law, both of their fathers have become state shepherds, isn't it appropriate?"

Bai Erlang was originally feeling sad and a little jealous, and when he heard Ji Hao's words, he became unhappy, and immediately refuted: "Whoever said it was inappropriate, our Bai family is a little thicker than the Zhou family, and it happens to be high and low. The door, why doesn't it fit?"

Bai Shan nodded approvingly, and gave his junior brother and cousin an admiring look.

Ji Hao said with a sullen face: "No matter how tall I am, Ji's family is not as tall."

Bai Erlang: "Your Ji family is too high to climb."

Feng Zongping, Yin or Yi Ziyang and the others watched them back and forth, and they were speechless for a long time.

Man Bao was a little shy at first, but when he saw that the two of them were endless, he couldn't help but say: "You guys are endless, it's like you are my elders, Bai Cheng, don't forget, I am the senior sister!"

Going to see Ji Hao again, Man Bao frowned and said nothing, after all, he was not familiar with him.

The atmosphere was a little embarrassing for a while, and Bai Shan smiled to break the deadlock, "It's rare that everyone has time to spare, and there is such a happy event, so let me invite you to dinner."

Man Bao immediately said: "Let's go to our Zhouji restaurant. My sixth brother has hired a new chef, and the dishes are delicious."

Everyone had no opinion, so they happily drove out of the inner city together.

It wasn't time for dinner yet, so there weren't many people in the restaurant, but the back kitchen was so busy, after all, there was a lot of preparation work.

Zhou Lijun sat behind the counter and planned to make plans. He calculated the accounts for today's noon. When he found out that there was no problem, he wrote it down. As soon as he looked up and saw the little aunt and the others coming in, she immediately put down her pen and greeted her, "Little aunt, why are you here?"

Man Bao pointed at Bai Shan and said with a smile, "He invited guests to dinner, we're here to eat."

Zhou Lijun led them to the second floor with a smile, found them a good box by the window to sit, and then ran downstairs to get the menu to show them.

Usually, the name of the dish is reported. After all, not everyone can read, but Zhou Lijun thinks that they may prefer to look at the menu and choose slowly.

This is indeed the case. Everyone took the menu and figured it out. Feng Zongping glanced at Zhou Lijun while choosing, and then smiled with Man Bao: "Miss Zhou, you are the lady of the Zhou Shepherd's family, is this shop still open? ?"

"Of course it's going to open, but the capital hasn't been earned back yet."

Yi Ziyang coughed lightly: "Zong Ping means that your family can hire a shopkeeper and a few guys to manage the restaurant, there is no need for family members to do it themselves."

Bai Shan laughed when he heard the words, and asked, "Do you have to buy a few servants to serve at home?"

Yi Ziyang smiled and said, "What's wrong with this? When His Majesty's imperial decree arrives at the prefectures and counties, the Ministry of Rites and the localities will be rewarded. Buy more land and invite some tenants to be gentry."

It's always like being annoyed here with a smile on your face, right?

Of course, Yi Ziyang didn't say it.

Man Bao was startled, "If my father knew I was such a prodigal, he would definitely scold me."

Bai Shan continued, "I will also discount your brothers' legs."

He smiled and said, "I think this is fine now. Who in this world doesn't work? Only work can create value."

Feng Zongping couldn't help raising his head, "Who said that? Although he bought people, the master doesn't do anything, and he also manages the servants, right?"

Zhou Lijun on the side couldn't help but said: "Isn't this not looking for work? We have so many family members, we can do it ourselves, why do we need to hire the shopkeeper and buddies, and also buy people, I think this will not only interrupt the grandfather. Fifth Uncle and their legs, ours will also be broken."

"By the way, auntie, what did they say about the daughter of the state shepherd..."

Man Bao squinted his eyes and said, "You don't know yet, our little uncle, that is, my own father was posthumously awarded as a state shepherd."

Zhou Lijun didn't quite understand, "What is a posthumous gift, what is a state shepherd?"
