Chapter 550： The second uncle is so ashamed!

Chapter 550 The second uncle is so ashamed!

The emperor was always generous to the Li family, and directly gave Li Laoer a fifth-rank household member, Wailang, who was in charge of the relief department's affairs.

This was a surprise beyond Li Laoer's expectation!

He thought it would be good to have a sixth-rank official position as a principal, but he never thought that the emperor would give him a fifth-rank official position!

Don't look down on this half-level job. Many people have been struggling for ten or eight years, but they may not be able to climb up.

After the three of them kowtowed and thanked them, Li Laoer took the imperial edict and placed it on the temporarily prepared incense table, and then invited the **** chief to come into the room to drink tea.

The head **** was also very accommodating. He refused to drink tea and only admired the flowers in the courtyard. Then he casually told Li Laoer not to let down the emperor's trust.

The emperor spent a lot of time with the cabinet elders in the central government for this fifth-rank Yuanwai Lang.

Furthermore, from now on, the Relief Department’s monthly rations will become one hundred Dans of grain and one hundred taels of silver. Doctors from the Medical Department will also take turns to come to the Relief Department for consultation every month...

Li Laoer quickly calculated in his mind that the new money and food standards were enough to cover more than half of the relief department's expenses.

In this way, the court is the main one and he is the auxiliary, which is a very good situation.

In the early days, he may need to sell flowers in exchange for supplies to subsidize the relief department.

But in the future, we will slowly look for opportunities to attract more people to donate. When the old and young at the Relief Department can recover and survive, everyone can support themselves.

At that time, the Li family may not even need help...

A quarter of an hour later, the chief **** stuffed a banknote into his sleeve and happily returned to the palace, leaving Li Laoer still in a daze.

He actually succeeded in his plan, and the result was unexpectedly good? !

Mr. Wen and Liu Zhiheng were eager to have another drink and celebrate.

But Mr. Wen still restrained and said: "Yusheng, please go back to Suijintan to announce the good news first, so that your family can be happy too.

“Furthermore, the Relief Department cannot be managed with just a breath of air. There must be a countermeasure and the manpower must be well coordinated..."

Liu Zhiheng nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, remember to tell me when you need money and food. Of course, my father is thinking about a Golden Lotus, so you have to prepare it for me."

Li Laoer couldn't help but smile and said: "Don't worry, if anyone is missing, the old man will not be missing."

After chatting for a while, Li Laoer gave Uncle Zhao and the four members of the Cao family a few words, and then hurried out of the city with the imperial edict.

In Broken Gold Beach, dinner is being prepared in the Li family courtyard.

 Li Zhensheng is not at home, Li Lao Er lives in Baiyuan Garden, the third Lao Li, his wife and children are all in Luo'an. In the end, only Mrs. Li, Tao Hongying and Jiayin are left in the compound, the three generations of women.

There were few people, and it was not fun to eat, so we only prepared porridge and side dishes and fried egg pancakes for dinner.

Three tails were wagging, lying at the door of the house, rolling an egg. They were a little greedy and wanted to play. The fox's face was full of tangles, which made everyone in the family laugh.

As a result, Li Laoer came back in a hurry as soon as the food was put on the table.

"Hey, why did the second child come back tonight?" Mrs. Li was very surprised and couldn't help but worry. She asked her son who had just entered the house, "Second child, you are back here, what will you do with the flowers in the garden?" It won’t be stolen?”

"Don't worry, mother, I've arranged everything." Li Laoer smiled, washed his hands and face, packed everything, and sat at the table. Then he motioned to Zheng Feng to bring out the imperial edict, "Mother, I received the imperial edict today, please remember to pay it. "Ah." "Imperial decree?" Mrs. Li and the whole family were surprised. She continued to ask, "The emperor has given you something again? But, didn't he give it before?"

Li Laoer coughed twice and tried his best to suppress his joy and said: "Mom, no, this time the emperor made me a member of the fifth rank, Yuanwailang, and will take over the relief department in the future!"

Mrs. Li doesn’t quite understand the titles of these false positions and the real ones, but she can still tell the difference between the false jobs and the real jobs, which are to run errands for the emperor!

"Okay, okay! The emperor is always very kind to our family, and I feel uneasy all the time. If you have an errand in the future, you must do it well, share the emperor's worries, and be worthy of the emperor's favor!"

"Don't worry, mom, I know." Li Laoer quickly stood up and came down.

Tao Hongying also smiled and said: "Congratulations to the second brother, but it's a pity that the eldest brother, the third brother and the fourth brother are not here, so I can't have a glass of wine with the second brother to celebrate!"

Jiayin also ran over, hugged the second uncle's arm, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the second uncle, the second uncle is now a high official, and he will be a minister and prime minister in the future!"

“Okay, second uncle will definitely become a great official if he works hard!” Li Laoer rubbed his niece’s hair, “Eat first, and after that, second uncle will take you out for a walk.”

The whole family had paid the imperial edict, and then sat together again, eating, talking and laughing. They were all very happy.

The Count has a good name and is respected when he goes out, but apart from attending a big court meeting, he has no serious errands.

Because of this title, Li Laoer cannot go to the hot spring valley more often, let alone work in the fields.

If he didn't open a hundred gardens, he would really have to lie down at home all day long...

Now that he has a real job, no matter what he does, he can finally be useful!

Soon after the meal was finished, Tao Hongying led others to clear the table, and Mrs. Li was looking for fabrics to make two new sets of clothes for her son.

As a mother, she can't do much to help her son, but she can still make her son look neat and tidy so that no one will look down on her son because of such trivial matters!

Jiayin took her second uncle's big hand and walked out of the courtyard gate to the archway at the entrance of the village.

Li Laoer didn't treat his niece as an ordinary child. On the way, he made it clear how he planned to get this practical position and how he planned to arrange it in the future.

After saying that, seeing that he was far away from home, he knelt down and carried his little niece on his back, for fear that she would be tired.

Jiayin listened attentively, and now he put his arms around the second uncle's neck and praised: "The second uncle is so awesome. He became an official without taking the first prize exam! Brother Zhimin said that Uncle Liu often made trouble in the yamen. Those who were officials together People always look down on Uncle Liu.

"In the future, when your second uncle becomes an official, if anyone bullies you, your second uncle will tell Fu Niu'er, Fu Niu'er will help you deal with them!"

Li Lao Er felt heart-warmed after hearing this and couldn't help but laugh. He lifted his fat niece up more and more and said, "Second uncle is an adult and should protect you and love you. But he didn't do that and instead wanted to protect you." Use your flowers in exchange for money and food to help others. This is how the second uncle got it from.

“But you wait three months. After three months, the second uncle will let the relief department be self-sufficient and no longer need our flower sales to subsidize it!”

"Second uncle! I still have a lot of those flowers. Second uncle used them in exchange for money and food to save people. I'm very happy." Fu Niuer patted the second uncle on the shoulder, "And I know that the second uncle is an official just to protect people." I'm protecting grandma and my family! Now, the third uncle and my father are not at home, so I have to help the second uncle!"

Li Laoer's nose felt sore when he heard this, and he almost shed tears.

He was not feeling aggrieved, but shed tears because he was happy that someone understood his good intentions.

Actually, he prefers to drink tea, read, go to the valley, and teach children in the school.

 Occasionally I go to the city to meet friends, in small groups, have a few tipsy drinks, and talk loudly, how comfortable it is...
