Qin Fang opened Du Ke's letter. There was a lot of paper in the letter, but it was not as thick as what he wrote to Du Ke. Duko mentions three things in the letter:

The first thing: As for Qin Fang's credit for discovering sulphur and saltpeter mines, according to the credit, it is enough to make Qin Fang a higher official. But Qin Fang, a poor boy, just got promoted to the fifth-rank official in March. It is not a good thing for a poor boy to be promoted too quickly, so he discussed with the emperor and decided to canonize his mother and his grandmother. . Because I asked Tao Shan, the old man was still in his hometown, so the imperial decree sent it directly to his hometown.

Seeing this, Qin Fang was happy. Compared to adding an official and a jue himself, for him, it made him more happy to have his grandmother and grandmother canonize the imperial life. With the appointment, for my mother and grandmother, it is the real honor, and there is no need to bow humbly when meeting a wife with an appointment in another family. Even if they came to Yunxiang County, if they didn't have an official order, they would have to salute when they met the wife of the Yangxian Ling family, but with an official order, it would be different.

So for this, he would also like to thank Duko and the emperor. At the same time, he also understands that although Du Ke vaguely mentioned that he discussed with the emperor, in fact, these matters are all the emperor's decision. It should be that the emperor did not want him to rise too fast to attract attention.

No matter what the emperor's purpose is, it is undeniable that the canonization of grandmother and grandmother is really rewarded to Qin Fang's heart. In this regard, he is very grateful to the emperor, and also grateful to Lord Du.

The second thing: about Yang Haiyan's credit for advocating the barracks land policy and discovering saltpeter to make ice. If it is said that Qin Fang's credit goes to the Sheji, then Yang Haiyan's credit goes to the common people. For the emperor, the community was as important as the common people. And Qin Fang's credit goes to Qin's mother and Qin's grandmother, but Yang Haiyan's credit is still there, so the emperor named Yang Haiyan as the Xiangjun, the third grade. There are different grades of Xiangjun, from the first grade to the fifth grade. Yang Haiyan is now of the fifth grade and is pleasant, and Qin Fang is only twenty-two years old now, so for Yang Haiyan, it is a matter of time for the authentic product, so the emperor canonized Yang Haiyan's Xiangjun as the third grade, which is a more moderate grade.

However, for Yang Haiyan, what really matters is not the grade, but the title. Although the title of this township monarch cannot be passed on to children, for women, this meaning is extraordinary. For example, if Qin Fang and Yang Haiyan reconciled, then Yang Haiyan's official title because of her husband would be gone. But now the emperor has made her the rank and file of the third rank. This is her own honor. Even if she is separated from the man, her rank and title are still there, and she enjoys the salary of the third rank. Moreover, this salary is different from the official salary of the wife Suihurong. The official salary of the wife Suihurong is half of that of the husband, and the salary of a township monarch like her is the salary of a real official of the third grade.

I have to say that the emperor is stingy in some places, but as an emperor, he will not take advantage of others. In some places, he will compensate you. The emperor suppressed Qin Fang's chances of being promoted to the rank, but on Yang Haiyan's side, he also compensated quite generously. It is equivalent to giving the credit of Qin Fang and Yang Haiyan to Yang Haiyan.

Having said that, there is a difference between a man and a woman. In feudal society, women's honor was easily ignored because they could not get in touch with real power, but men's honor was linked to real power.

However, for the Qin family who came from a poor family, such an honor is enough.

Qin Fang felt that her daughter-in-law would be happy. In the future, he has to bow to his daughter-in-law in a proper manner.

Mr. Du's meaning was also reminded very clearly. Qin Fang did not complain or anger in his heart. Why do men strive to make progress? It was for the family, for the children, for the wife and for the parents, and now, the emperor has given his honor to his wife and to his parents, what can he complain about?

Qin Fang was very grateful to Master Du for his analysis on this matter. Even if he won't be angry when he receives the imperial decree, and he won't care about the credit, but Master Du can write to him and analyze the matter to him, which means different things to Qin Fang. For an existence like Master Du, if it wasn't for him, Qin Fang made Master Du look up to him, why would Master Du take the time to tell this? For this friendship, Master Du can be regarded as Qin Fang's teacher.

Some teachers teach knowledge, and some teachers teach how to behave in the world. For Qin Fang, how to behave and the situation in the officialdom is far more important than written knowledge.

The third item: about the identities of the imperial minister and father-in-law. The imperial commissioner who came here was none other than Wei Wu's eldest brother Wei Ting. Wei Ting is the eldest brother of Wei Wu's direct relatives. He is a member of the Ministry of Industry. The Minister of Industry was in charge of all the affairs of construction, and the production of gunpowder from sulphur and saltpeter was also in charge of the Minister of Industry.

As for the imperial envoy who came to declare the imperial decree, he was also the chief supervisor beside the emperor, responsible for all matters around the emperor. Therefore, this imperial decree was only second, and the real purpose was to observe the sulphur mines and saltpeter mines. Sulphur mines and saltpeter mines were so important, it was impossible for the emperor to only send Wei Ting here.

Oh, the above three things are important things, and Mr. Du finally added one more thing. I hope he won't be so long-winded next time, don't be so long-winded, and can keep a long story short.

Qin Fang looked at it and couldn't help but smile. He could imagine Master Du's serious expression when he pointed this out.

Then Qin Fang came to the fire on the side and burned the letter directly. "Taoshan, let's go down the mountain. Lao Yang, I'll leave it to you. If the Chain Man wakes up immediately, send someone to call me right away."

Captain Yang: "Yes, General."

An hour later, Qin Fang and Tao Shan arrived at the gate of the Dongjiao military camp.

Wei Ting and Chief Chi are watching the grass and trees in the eastern suburbs military camp. The Dongjiao military camp occupies a very large area, so the Dongjiao military camp is also very large. However, the reason why the Dongjiao military camp is built is that it is basically a training ground, which can provide good training for soldiers. In addition to the training ground, the martial arts field of the Eastern Suburb Barracks is also very conspicuous. I have to say that this is much better than the military camp on the outskirts of the capital. The main reason is that the area of ​​the military camps outside the capital is limited, and the military camps in the eastern suburbs here have the advantage in terms of area.

Even though Wei Ting didn't know much about things in the army, he could see that this was a good place. Although I don't know how barren Yunxiang County is, and I haven't entered the county seat, I can accept that he will live here for a year and a half, after all, the mountains are high and the water is far away. Especially standing on Lookout Mountain and looking towards the beast mountain, I felt that the mountain was very interesting.

Director Chi is in his early thirties this year. When Jinshang was still a prince, he served Jinshang, so in the palace, even the imperial concubine had to give him some face. This time he came to Yunxiang County to pass the imperial decree, and the most important thing was indeed to check the sulfur mines and saltpeter mines. Although Wei Ting led people to secretly make gunpowder, the emperor ordered him to check the sulfur and saltpeter mines. At the same time, observe Qin Fang.

Seeing Wei Ting showing some satisfaction here, Manager Chi couldn't help but smile and said, "I didn't expect that General Qin was young, came from a poor family, and had such luck." The emperor attached great importance to luck, and even went with him in private. Nagging, saying that Qin Fang may be an opportunity sent by God to make him famous for eternity.

When Manager Chi heard these nagging at the time, he was taken aback. He understood very well what it meant.

Wei Ting also smiled: "It's not easy for General Qin to get to this point with his own efforts." However, it was indeed lucky. A 22-year-old general of the fifth rank, even in the capital, rarely climbed so fast. But looking at Qin Fang's experience carefully, he felt that it was normal. At the age of sixteen, he joined the army for his father, and at the age of nineteen, he became a centurion with his own efforts. At the age of 20, the opportunity came to him and he became the captain of a thousand. Twenty-two was chosen by the emperor because he proposed a plan to settle the surrendered barbarians.

Unexpectedly, in Yunxiang County, sulphur ore and saltpeter ore were discovered. Immediately after, his wife proposed the barracks land policy and discovered that saltpeter was used to make ice.

Speaking of which... Wei Ting paused, was Qin Fangyun okay? Or did his wife bring him luck? When Qin Fang became the captain of the millennium, he was married not long ago, right?

Thinking of this, Wei Ting suddenly had an idea, shouldn't it be... His wife is the lucky person?

Thinking of Qin Fang's wife, Wei Ting thought of the Yang family. Yang Taifu was executed, and Yang Haiyan was married to the border gate. Later, he heard from Wei Wu that he recognized the righteous sister. Wei Ting crossed his hands subconsciously and put them behind him.

Chief Chi also laughed.

"Two adults, the general is back."

Wei Ting and Director Chi looked at each other and said in unison, "Lead the way."

The soldiers took them to see Qin Fang, and Qin Fang also came over under the leadership of the soldiers. The three looked at each other from far to near. Wei Ting and Director Chi had only one feeling, the young man walking in front of him was really tall. Such a tall figure is a natural warrior.

People in the world always like to use their appearance to analyze people. For example, people who have a gentle appearance will always think that they are taking the imperial examinations, and people who are tall and mighty like Qin Fang will always think that they are taking the military examinations.

That's why Wei Ting and Manager Chi had the same idea when they first saw Qin Fang. When they walked in again, they found that this man had clear eyes and a bit of uprightness. Appearance is resolute and stern, and he looks like a sturdy man.

Before Qin Fang faced Wei Ting and Director Chi, he was a little nervous, but after meeting him, he was calm again. It's not that he's not nervous anymore, but that he's seen an adult like Du Ke. Seeing others, he's always a little more relaxed. In terms of authority and ability, how can Wei Ting and Manager Chi compete with Du Ke?
