The emperor has always been generous to the Li family, and directly gave Li Laoer a fifth-rank member of the household department, Wailang, who is in charge of all matters of the relief department.

This was simply a surprise that Li Laoer didn't expect!

He thought it would be good to have a sixth-rank official position, but he didn't expect the emperor to give him a fifth-rank!

Don't underestimate the poor grades, many people have survived for ten or eight years, but they may not be able to climb up.

After the three of them kowtowed to express their gratitude, Li Laoer took the imperial decree and put it on the incense table prepared temporarily before inviting the chief eunuch into the house for tea.

The chief eunuch was also very easy-going, he refused to drink tea, and only admired the flowers in the courtyard, and then told Li Laoer not to disappoint the emperor's trust in gossip.

For this Yuanwailang from the fifth grade, the emperor spent a lot of time talking with the elders of the central hub.

Moreover, the monthly money and food of the Relief Office will become hundreds of dans of grain and one hundred taels of silver in the future. Doctors from the Medical Office will also take turns to visit the Relief Office every month...

Li Laoer quickly calculated in his mind that the new standard of money and food was already enough for more than half of the relief department's expenses.

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

In the early days, he may still need to rely on selling flowers for supplies to subsidize the relief agency.

But in the future, we will slowly find opportunities to attract more people to donate. When the old and young people in the relief department can recover and survive, everyone can support themselves.

At that time, the Li family's help may not be needed...

A quarter of an hour later, the head eunuch stuffed a bank note in his sleeve, and happily returned to the palace to return to his command, leaving Li Lao Er still a little dazed.

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

Mr. Wen and Liu Zhiheng can't wait to have another drink and celebrate.

But Mr. Wen still restrained and said: "Yu Sheng, let's go back to Suijintan to announce the good news, so that the family can be happy too.

"Besides, the Relief Office can't be taken care of just by blowing it off. There must be a countermeasure, and the manpower must be well coordinated..."

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

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

After a few more gossips, Mr. Li asked Uncle Zhao and the Cao family to say a few words, and then hurried out of the city with the imperial decree.

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

Li Zhensheng is not at home, Li's second child always lives in Baihuayuan, and the third child's husband, wife and children are all in Luo'an. In the end, only Mrs. Li, Tao Hongying and Jiayin are left in the big courtyard, these three generations of women.

There were few people, and eating was tasteless, so for dinner, we only prepared porridge and side dishes, and baked egg pancakes.

Three flicked their tails, lying on the door of the house, rolling an egg, 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, as soon as the food was served on the table, Li Er Er came back in a hurry.

"Hey, why did the second child come back tonight?" Mrs. Li was very strange, and couldn't help worrying, and asked her son who had just entered the house, "Second brother, you are back to live, what will you do with the flowers in the garden? Won't it be stolen?"

"Don't worry, mother, I've made all the arrangements." Li Laoer smiled, washed his hands and face, tidied up, and sat at the table, then signaled Zheng Feng to take out the imperial decree, "Mother, I received the imperial decree today, remember to confess it what."

"Imperial decree?" Mrs. Li and the whole family were surprised, she continued to ask: "The emperor rewarded you again? But, didn't you give it before?"

Li Laoer coughed twice, tried his best to suppress his joy, and said: "Mother, no, this time the emperor appointed me as a fifth-rank Yuanwailang, and I will take over the relief department in the future!"

Mrs. Li doesn't know much about the titles of these false jobs and real jobs, but she can tell the difference between the fake job and the good name, and the real job is for the emperor!

"Okay, okay! The emperor is very kind to our family on weekdays. I have never been at ease in my heart. In the future, if you have an errand, you have to do it well, share your worries for the emperor, and be worthy of the emperor's kindness!"

"Don't worry, mother, I know." Li's second son hurriedly stood up and responded.

Tao Hongying also smiled and said: "Congratulations to the second brother, but unfortunately the third and fourth brothers 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, the second uncle, the second uncle is a high official, and he will be a minister and a prime minister in the future!"

"Okay, Second Uncle works hard, and he will definitely become a great official!" Li Er Er rubbed his little niece's hair, "Let's eat first, and after eating, Second Uncle will take you out for a walk."

After offering the imperial decree, the family sat around again, eating and laughing, all of them were very happy.

The earl's name sounds good, and he is respected when he goes out, but he has no serious errands other than attending a grand court meeting.

But because of this title, Li Laoer can't go to the hot spring valley more, let alone work in the fields.

If he doesn't open Baihuayuan, he really wants to lie flat at home all day...

Now that he has a real job, no matter what he does, he finally has a role to play!

Soon, after the meal was over, Tao Hongying led someone to remove the table, and Mrs. Li was looking for fabric to make two new sets of clothes for her son.

As a mother, she can't help her son much, but she can still dress her son neatly and don't let others look down on her son because of such trivial matters!

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

Li's second son didn't treat his little niece like an ordinary child. He explained clearly how he planned to get this real job and how he planned to arrange it in the future.

After all, seeing that he was far away from the house, he squatted down and carried the little niece on his back again, for fear that the little niece would get tired.

Jiayin listened carefully, and now put her arms around the second uncle's neck, and praised: "Second uncle is really good, he became an official without taking the first prize! Brother Zhimin said, Uncle Liu often provokes anger in the Yamen, those who are officials together People always look down on Uncle Liu.

"In the future, when the second uncle becomes an official, if someone bullies you, the second uncle will tell Fu Niuer that Fu Niuer will help you deal with them!"

The second Li's heart warmed when he heard it, and he couldn't help laughing. He pushed his fat niece up even more, and said, "The second uncle is an adult, and he should protect you and love you, but the second uncle didn't do it. Exchange your flowers for money and food, and help others. This is the same way that Yuanwailang from the fifth rank asked for it. Erbo is very ashamed...

"But you wait for three months. After three months, the second uncle will let the relief department be self-sufficient, and we no longer need our family to sell flowers to subsidize it!"

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

Li Laoer's nose was sour when he heard it, and he almost shed tears.

He didn't feel wronged, he shed tears because someone understood his well-intentioned joy.

In fact, to be honest, he prefers to drink tea, read books, go to the valley, and go to school to teach children.

Occasionally, when I go to the city, I will meet a friend, in groups of three or four, having a drink and a little drunk, talking loudly, how comfortable it is...
