Chapter 381 Generous Reward

"Are you Baron Wu Fan?" The man who just asked Wu Fan to receive the order looked at Wu Fan and asked.

"Yes, I am." Wu Fan said again.

The man looked at Wu Fan carefully and then said, "Take the order."

Wu Fan frowned slightly. There was no problem in accepting the order, but kneeling down was a bit difficult for Wu Fan to accept. "Do I need to kneel down?"

The person who spoke also frowned, with a slight look of contempt in his eyes. He probably looked down on Wu Fan's appearance of having never seen the world. "You have the status of a baron and a noble, so you don't have to kneel down."

When the Yanfeng Kingdom was founded, only those who had made great contributions would be knighted. In order to show the importance to these people, the first emperor of the Yanfeng Kingdom also encouraged other people to make more contributions to the country. He gave special permission to all People with noble status can choose not to kneel when they meet the emperor.

Of course, if you want to kneel, there is no problem, and the emperor will not stop you. Generally speaking, ministers in the previous court will kneel when they meet the emperor, regardless of whether they have noble status or not. For those who salute, as time goes by, fewer and fewer people use this privilege of "nobles do not have to kneel down to worship the emperor". No one uses it, but you use it. Wouldn't it be hated by His Majesty the Emperor?

However, Wu Fan didn't know about this situation. He was quite happy after knowing that the nobles still had this privilege.

No need to kneel down? That's not bad.

Wu Fan was very satisfied with this.

When the man who just spoke saw that Wu Fan actually didn't kneel down, his eyelids twitched slightly again. After despising Wu Fan's lack of common sense in his heart, he did not ask Wu Fan to kneel down. After all, this is the privilege of the nobles. .

However, the second-class Niu people behind Wu Fan did not have such privileges. They all knelt down respectfully. They did not feel that this was something difficult to accept, but rather felt that they were honored.

That was an imperial edict. Many people had never heard of it, let alone seen it. It was a great honor for them to be able to follow Wu Fan to receive the edict, and it was something they could brag to their descendants for a long time.

"By God's blessing, the emperor decreed..." The leader saw everyone kneeling down, and then he began to recite the imperial edict. There were a lot of clichés and official words in the front, but he got to the point later.

"Baron Wu Fan, the gift is meritorious. The princess is very happy, and I am very happy. I will give Wu Fan a promotion to the title of Baron by one level. I will also reward Wu Fan with five thousand gold coins, one hundred pieces of silk cloth, one box of jewelry, and one hundred acres of fertile land..." ..and ordered Viscount Wu Fan to come to Beijing immediately to meet the Holy Spirit and express his gratitude!”

"Viscount Wu Fan, congratulations, please accept the order."

Wu Fan, however, was stunned on the spot with a look of surprise on his face, showing no reaction to his words.

It was actually an imperial edict to reward myself! Moreover, the rewards are extremely generous, and the title is upgraded by one level, which is the best and most rare. The other rewards are also not bad.

No wonder he saw a carriage following behind this group of cavalry, which should be filled with rewards for him. The emperor, whom he had not yet met, was really generous to him, giving him titles, gold, silver and jewels. Yes, generous enough and interesting enough.

Wu Fan also did not expect that the special task he received last time actually had generous follow-up rewards. In addition to the very good rewards he had already received at that time, this simple special task actually brought him A huge benefit.

"I really hope there are more special tasks like this, preferably every day." Wu Fan thought to himself.

However, Wu Fan also knew that this was impossible. Simple and ordinary tasks were difficult to trigger, let alone special tasks with extremely generous rewards. Now that he had triggered and completed one, he should feel lucky.

"Viscount Wu Fan, please accept the order." Seeing Wu Fan's lack of response, the leader couldn't help but speak again, his tone seemed a little impatient.

As the chief eunuch in the palace, he has seen and come into contact with many high-ranking officials. Therefore, although Wu Fan was promoted to Viscount, in his eyes, it was nothing extraordinary. The ones he had seen before were of higher status than Wu Fan. , there are many people with more power, so they are not afraid of Wu Fan's identity.

"Yes, I will accept the edict." Wu Fan finally reacted and took the edict from the other party. While receiving the edict, Wu Fan also handed the other party ten gold coins. The man's face remained unchanged, his wrists With a flick, the gold coins went into his sleeves. Wu Fan was amazed by his skillful movements.

After accepting Wu Fan's gold coins, the man's complexion indeed improved a lot.

"My father-in-law worked hard all the way to deliver the message to me," Wu Fan said.

"It's not hard, it's not hard. It's our honor to serve His Majesty." The eunuch said with a warm smile on his face: "Viscount Wu Fan has received a generous reward this time, which shows how much His Majesty values ​​you. I hope you will continue to work hard and serve for Your Majesty shares your worries."

"That's for sure." Wu Fan said, "My father-in-law has been working hard all the way, so why not come in for a glass of wine and something to eat."

"No, I have to rush back to the imperial capital to reply to Your Majesty. After the Viscount has sorted things out, he should hurry up and enter the capital. Your Majesty is waiting there." The father-in-law said, although his attitude towards Wu Fan was a little kinder, but , I still look down on such a small place in my heart, and feel that it is impossible to eat anything good in such a place.

"I will also leave as soon as possible." Wu Fan said: "However, father-in-law, can you tell me why your Majesty asked me to come to Beijing? You also know that people from a small place like us have never seen much of the world. , If there is anything rash at that time, wouldn’t it make His Majesty unhappy?”

"That's right." The eunuch nodded and said, "But the Viscount doesn't need to worry too much. It's not a bad thing that His Majesty asked you to go to Beijing this time. It should be related to the fiefdom."

"Fiefdom?" Wu Fan asked in confusion.

"In our Yanfeng Kingdom, nobles above the rank of Viscount can own fiefdoms. Everything in the fiefdom is decided by the owner. And you, Viscount, have just been promoted to a higher rank, and the fiefdom has not been determined yet. This trip to Beijing should be related to this matter." The eunuch said.

"I see, thank you for reminding me." Wu Fan said.

"You're welcome." The eunuch said, "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

"Take care, eunuch." Wu Fan said.

The eunuch waved his hand and led people away from the Hermit Village, raising dust all over the sky again.

After those people left, Niu Er and others dared to come to Wu Fan's side and congratulated him with a happy face.

They had all heard the contents of the imperial edict just now. As Wu Fan's personal soldiers, they were naturally honored to see Wu Fan promoted to a higher title. After all, they were now one with Wu Fan, and they shared weal and woe together. With Wu Fan's promotion to a higher title, their status would also be improved. How could they not be happy?
