"Uncle Jing'an, you have been granted the title of earl today, and according to the rules, you will go to Beijing to thank you within two months, don't forget this.

Zhao Jinzhong felt better after receiving the money, so he reminded him.

Lu Qi nodded: "Thank you father-in-law for reminding me, Lu understands."

"Okay, then our family will leave first, and we won't beg for mercy when we are on official business~ Bo Jing Anbo."

After saying this, Zhao Jinzhong took his leave and left.

Lu Qi didn't keep him either, after sending it out, he casually threw the imperial decree in his hand to Xiao Liu, and then returned to the yard.

Xiao Liu held the imperial decree like a treasure in his arms, with a smirk on his face.

"Don't be merry, what's the fun with just an earl." Lu Qi said.

"Master, no, master, this is the count, the fourth rank, seven hundred food, Xiao Liu, I have never even met the magistrate of the county in my life, you can't let me have a good laugh." Xiao Liu rarely quibbles once.

That's right, I don't care too much about it, but Xiao Liu is a native after all, and the concept of the supremacy of imperial power in his bones will not be changed for a while.

It is normal to be a little happy when I suddenly hear that I have become an earl.

Although it is a void.

But in the Song Dynasty, it was a symbol of power, but also a symbol of identity and status.

Earl of Great Song, even if he is a vacant position, he is still in the fourth rank.

As for the [food city seven hundred] that Xiao Liu said, this is Lu Qi's salary.

It is equivalent to Lu Qi having the right to tax 700 households.

Of course, it doesn't mean that Lu Xiao has to collect it himself.

It is the imperial court that will use the taxes collected from 700 households as Lu Qi's annual salary.

Calculated to be less than one thousand taels of silver.

The current Lu Qi really doesn't like such a small amount of money.

Let alone Lu Qi, the officials of the entire Song Dynasty now, which one do you think are living on their salaries.

Even a seventh-rank magistrate may not be able to value a thousand taels of silver.

You should still remember the former magistrate of Yao County, the compensation for Lu Qi alone was a total of 200,000 yuan.

If he relied on the salary issued by the imperial court, he would not be able to save so much money in his life.

"Sir."

At this time, Yu Shuning ran out of the backyard with a look of surprise.

It stands to reason that everyone in Lu Qi's mansion must apologize for accepting the imperial decree.

Only in this way can we show respect for the royal family.

But Lu Qi didn't care about imperial power from the bottom of his heart.

But Eunuch Zhao thought that Lu Qi was a person in the Jianghu who didn't understand these rules, so he didn't care about these trivial matters.

It's fine when the Lord comes.

That's why Lu Qi didn't call Yu Shuning just now.

At this moment, Yu Shuning ran out, obviously hearing the news.

"Sir, have you really been made an earl?" Yu Shuning asked in surprise.

She actually is not concerned about whether Lu Qi is an official or not, she just simply feels incredible.

Others don't know that their husband is a bandit, but she knows it all.

She changed from a bandit to an official overnight, and became an earl in one step, so she was not surprised.

Lu Qi didn't tell her about this before!

"It's all trivial, don't worry too much about it, but we're leaving for Kyoto in two days, do you have anything else to prepare?" Lu Qi asked.

At this time, Yu Shuning curiously took the imperial decree from Xiaoliu's hand, and after reading it again and again, he was sure that the matter about the earl was not a joke.

However, she quickly accepted the matter, and she didn't smirk like Xiao Liu.

Hearing Lu Qi's words, Yu Shuning replied, "Go to Kyoto? Didn't you say Fuzhou City before?"

Lu Qi slapped his head.

Before returning from Hualong Mountain, he forgot to tell Yu Shuning that he was going to Kyoto instead.

For the past month, Xiao Liu has been preparing things for a long trip, and Yu Shuning still thinks that he is planning to go to Fuzhou City.

"Going to Fuzhou City was the previous plan, but now that he has been made an earl, according to the rules, he has to go to Beijing to thank him, so I think we can just go to Kyoto directly." I don't want to bother." Lu Qi explained.

Yu Shuning nodded.

It doesn't matter whether she goes to Fuzhou City or Kyoto, it doesn't make any difference to her.

As long as Lu Qi is by her side.

She doesn't care about other things.

"I don't have anything to pack, just some clothes, but after we go to the capital, what will we do in Kangzi?"

Yu Shuning didn't even ask Yu Fu, but asked Zhaizi first.

"I've settled everything about the village, and nothing will happen." Lu Qi said, and then added: "Since it's ready, please remember to inform Uncle Fu later that we will set off in a few days."

More than ready.

As early as half a month ago, Lu Qi had already arranged for Zhao Da to take his men to explore the way.

Not too many people on one side.

Ten thousand entry-level martial artists.

The team was led by Zhao Da and old man Li.

They came to Beijing in batches, and Lu Qi gave them an order to find a place to take care of food and settle down after entering Beijing. When the time comes, Lu Qi will also have a caretaker when he goes to Kyoto.

As for places to manage meals, there are plenty of them.

With so many big families in Kyoto, how can a high-end martial artist still be hungry?

As for Yufu Fubo Luqi, he also plans to take it with him.

Forber is a very qualified butler.

He took care of Yu Mansion in an orderly manner, which saved Lu Qi a lot of worry.

"Well, I know." Yu Shuning nodded.

Three days later, everything was ready, and Lu Qi's family officially set off for the capital.

However, the carriage lander had a dark face.

"How did you come?"

At this moment, Li Xiuning was holding Yu Shuning's arm opposite Lu Qi, whispering.

"Slightly slightly~~ You think this girl wants to come, if Grandpa said that he must protect you [I wouldn't want to come!"

Hearing Lu Qi's words, Li Xiuning stuck out her tongue at him with a very tsundere tone.

"Hehe, you're the only one who still protects me? You can't beat me even if I give you hands and feet." Lu Qi immediately sarcastically said.

"Hmph, don't underestimate people, this girl is a high-quality martial artist now, and I can't protect you, a bandit leader." Li Xiuning didn't hesitate at all, and immediately retorted.

"I laughed, how did you get the strength of a high-level martial artist, have you forgotten?" Lu Qi continued to sneer.

Li Xiuning tilted her neck: "The Qi Gathering Pill was given to me by Sister Yu. I want to give it to Sister Yu. You want me to thank you. It's a dream!"

At this time, Yu Shuning smiled and patted Li Xiuning's head lightly, and then said to Lu Qi: "Okay, stop arguing, it's like this every time we meet, you two were enemies in previous lives, right? Xiuning's Little Sister is Be naughty, you are such a big person, let her be a little bit, in fact, she is still very good, I think you can marry her too? Then we will really become sisters."

Lu Qi and Li Xiuning widened their eyes at the same time:

"Just her! I won't marry even if I'm killed!"

"Just him! I won't marry if I'm killed!"

At this time, the two were quite in unison.

In this way, accompanied by the sound of quarrels, the carriage moved forward and finally arrived in Kyoto a month later.

There is no way, there are women and children in the car, so the speed is naturally slower.

As for the child mentioned, it is naturally Abao, who is suspected to be a relative of the emperor, picked up by Zhao Da before.

0......seeking flowers......

Now he is sitting in the carriage behind with the two sisters Cuilan and Cuizhu.

This child did not eat so much food for nothing.

This visit to Beijing happened to be able to inquire about his life experience.

Without a ransom of one million taels of silver, Lu Qi will never let him go.

"Wow, is this Kyoto? It's so prosperous!"

"Yes, yes, sister, look over there, that building is so tall!"

In the carriage, Yu Shuning and Li Xiuning looked at the streets of Kyoto curiously.

As the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, the prosperity of Kyoto City is beyond the imagination of other cities.

Even after seeing Lu Qi with high-rise buildings in a modern city, there is still a lot of shock in his heart at this moment.

Take the high-rise building that the two women just mentioned.

Looking around, it is hundreds of meters high.

I really don't know how these ancient people built it.

But thinking about the Transcendent power in this world, it doesn't seem so strange.

The entire city of Kyoto is divided into two cities, the outer city and the inner city.

The people living in the outer city are ordinary people, while the inner city is full of dignitaries.

In addition, there is a small city in the inner city, which is the Great Song Palace.

The imperial palace alone occupies one-third of the entire inner city.

However, although the city of Kyoto is divided into inside and outside.

But the prosperity of the outer city is no less than that of the inner city. Even speaking of excitement, the outer city can't catch up with the outer city.

First, there are many people in the outer city.

Secondly, those merchants gathered in the outer city.

Although merchants are rich, their status is low. The Song Dynasty, like all the ancient times known to Lu Qi, emphasized agriculture over merchants.

The status of businessmen is not much higher than that of ordinary people.

That is to say, they are much superior to ordinary people in terms of material enjoyment.

Because most of these businessmen live in the outer city, the commercial atmosphere in the outer city is much higher than that in the inner city.

Although there are some imperial merchants living in the inner city, there are also commercial developments.

But dignitaries like to play some elegant things, so there is much less fireworks than the outer city.

Lu Xiao is now an earl, and his earl's mansion is naturally also in the inner city.

So the carriage traveled all the way through the outer city, and finally came to the gate of Bing City.

At this time, there were three familiar figures waiting quietly at the gate of the inner city.

After seeing them, Lu Qi got out of the carriage.

"Dage!"

"This old man has seen the Lord!"

"Subordinates refer to the master!"

Zhao Da, Li Qingshan, Di Zhengyang.

But apart from Zhao Da's loud voice, the other two spoke in very low voices.

Li Qingshan is old and lacks confidence.

Di Zhengyang did it to avoid suspicion.

After all, he is still Jinyiwei Qianhu on the surface.

Jin Yiwei's eyeliner is everywhere in this capital.

He greeted Lu Qi outside the inner city, it can be said that the two have a very good personal relationship.

But if someone listens to the sound of the Lord, everyone will know that he has taken refuge in Lu Qi.

Before Lu Qi could speak, Li Xiuning flew down from the carriage.

"Grandpa~~~"

Shouted happily.

Li Qingshan also has a headache for this naughty granddaughter.

At this time, after seeing Li Xiuning, a wry smile appeared on his face.

"Master, why did you bring this girl here?"

In addition to being surprised, there is still a little humility.

Lu Qi rolled his eyes at him: "Do you think I can stop her?"

Hmph, grandson pays the debt.

He can't do anything with such a yellow-haired girl, and he can't do anything with Li Qingshan.

An ominous premonition suddenly surged in Li Qingshan's heart. .
