Chapter 176: Create a great title!
"call."
"Comfortable!"
Liang Qu was panting, his pores were relaxed and sweat was pouring out.
An unprecedented sense of satisfaction.
When he just threw out the Ape Fist, he seemed to merge with the heaven and earth, and blood and energy continuously flowed out of his body.
I don’t know if it’s because the weather is getting warmer and people are no longer as likely to stay at home as in winter, or if practicing martial arts can really change a person subtly.
Liang Qu became much more self-disciplined than in the early days, and he never slacked off in practicing boxing every day.
But I have never felt this way today.
After his body was enlarged, his Qi and blood were so full that it actually reached the point where it could refine his internal organs!
"I had an epiphany?"
Liang Qu stretched out his hand and looked at his palm in disbelief.
Without any dietary supplements, a huge amount of blood and energy was transported, but there was no feeling of deficiency. The only explanation is enlightenment.
Enlightenment is the bridge between heaven and earth.
A mysterious place that you can only encounter by chance.
The pursuit of countless people throughout the ages.
Even if Liang Qu performed the "New Ape Fist" in his mind, he would no longer have the feeling of endless energy and blood flowing throughout his body.
He closed his eyes and recalled carefully, and a completely different set of ape boxing techniques appeared in his mind, which was similar to the one Hu Qi taught him.
"So, that is the boxing technique I learned?"
"Congratulations, donor."
Liang Qu looked up.
"Master? Is that enlightenment?"
The old monk nodded: "Good."
Liang Qu was very happy.
Just a small epiphany helped him save several months of effort and reach the Fuguan Pass.
It would be nice if I could come more often.
bang bang.
Someone knocked on the door.
Liang Qu walked forward and lifted the bolt. Standing outside the door was a Ti cavalryman in official uniform. He felt vaguely familiar with him, as if he had seen him before.
"My Lord, what is the matter?"
Tiqi leaned forward to glance at the old monk, then quickly retracted his gaze and saluted with his fists clasped.
"Sir Liang, I am Qi Zhiping, the Cloud Eagle Cavalry. I have come here for two reasons. One is to announce that Marquis Weining has attained enlightenment and become a saint, and to celebrate the five-day anniversary of his enlightenment."
Liang Qu suddenly realized that the other person looked familiar. It turned out that he had met him last night.
"Second, I want to bring you a canonization book. It was already late yesterday, and it was inconvenient to bother you, so I delayed it until today."
Canonization?
Liang Qu was stunned.
Qi Zhiping took out a roll of gold-embossed documents and a square seal with a small turtle carved on it from his arms and presented them respectfully.
"Commissioned by the Ministry of Personnel, Lord Liang has made great contributions to the Pinyin system and has been awarded the title of Da Zao, as well as three hundred taels of silver, fifty pieces of silk, ten pieces of jade, and a number of corresponding utensils."
Great creation!
Liang Qu reached out to take the book of enthronement and the seal, and his heart was shocked.
He didn't expect that the so-called enthronement was actually based on the old phonetic method, and it was a grand title!
The superior who read out the imperial edict earlier said that his pinyin method had not yet been popularized and it would take time to confirm. Once confirmed, he would not be stingy with subsequent rewards.
Liang Qu has waited for several months, and now he finally got it!
Duke Bozi male.
No matter which rank, it was very difficult to obtain in Dashun, and obtaining a title through military merit was almost the only default way.
But in order to better reward and rule, the current emperor has established three other ranks of nobility.
There are three ranks: Dazao, Shangzao and Gongshi, which correspond to the seventh, eighth and ninth ranks respectively.
The third-class title is not hereditary and does not come with a fief, but the recipient can receive a salary commensurate with the title, which is a symbol of honor and status.
It is possible to win a knighthood for the invention award, and Liang Qu had a glimmer of hope for this, but he never expected to win the highest title, the Grand Duke!
A title is different from an official position. If you resign from the position, you will not receive any salary.
But if you have a title, you can receive salary until you die!
And it does not conflict with official positions! In other words, from now on, Liang Qu can receive both the eighth-rank salary of the River God and the seventh-rank salary of the Great Lord!
With two golden rice bowls in hand, his monthly salary is several dozen taels!
Qi Zhiping congratulated him, "Congratulations, Sir Liang. From now on, you will be promoted to a high rank. I can run fast on my horse and tell you the good news first. Others will bring rewards to you in the afternoon."
Liang Qu walked out of the room and bowed respectfully to the heaven and earth to express his gratitude for God's grace.
The last time the emperor conferred an award, the edict was written by himself. The main recipient of the award was Yang Dongxiong. Liang Qu submitted the imperial edict as a by-product. Naturally, there were messengers leading a group of people who came one after another to read the imperial edict, inform them in advance, and then welcome them. There were a lot of ceremonies.
This time it was different. The Ministry of Personnel drafted the document, and the emperor confirmed it and just made a tick. Then he sent someone to announce it. It was not so serious and formal. He only had to thank the emperor for the reward and accept the seal of the title.
"Thank you for your hard work, Lord Qi. Come in and have a rest."
"Mr. Liang is too polite."
Qi Zhiping glanced at the old monk playing with beads in the yard and refused repeatedly.
I can't afford it, I really can't afford it.
Liang Qu thought Qi Zhiping was just being polite and rejected his three invitations.
He had no choice but to give some silver as "errand fee", and then he didn't go anywhere, just stayed at home waiting for the reward.
In the afternoon, a small convoy of six people rolled over bluestone slabs and creaked as they came to the gate of Liang's house and stopped.
There were three large horse-drawn carriages. The leader jumped off one of the carriages and confirmed that Liang Qu's identity was correct. The rest of the people got off one after another and moved the goods into the yard one box at a time.
Liang Qu opened the boxes and looked through them one by one.
Cloth, jade, silver, and the rest are some daily utensils, including but not limited to tea sets, calligraphy, plates, wooden boxes, screens, porcelain...
Giving a title is completely different from giving an official position.
If you get an official position, apart from the extra rewards, there won’t be so many “messy” things.
But if you are given a title, you must also be given corresponding "dignity" and many common utensils.
This time Liang Qu has really upgraded his furniture. He had bought a lot of furniture before, but they were always "cheap stuff". Now his furniture is much more "high-end" overall.
It’s true that people feel refreshed during happy events.
Martial arts and career are both flourishing.
Liang Qu was walking happily in the yard.
Create a great title.
Haha.
Another golden rice bowl.
The neighbors passing by were confused.
A-Di heard the noise and poked her head out from next door: "A-Shui, what's going on? Do you want to move?"
"No moving." Liang Qu puffed out his chest, "Sister A Di, I did a good thing and got a great title!"
"Big Zaojue?"
In the eyes of those in official positions, a third-class title does not give you much face.
But in the eyes of ordinary people, a title of the same rank is better than an official position!
While A-Di was in a daze, Liang Qu picked out a few horses from the fifty and carried them to the next door.
"Sister A-Di, take some cloth back and make some summer clothes for Xiao Shunzi and the others!"
A-Di refused again and again: "No, no, how can we use the reward given to you?"
The villagers were shocked and amazed.
"This is incredible! I saw it early on that Master Liang is a man of great ability and talent! That's a title!"
"Master Liang is a well-known figure in Yixing Town! You see, Master Liang is now in Yixing Town, just like Master Yang in Pingyang Town!"
Someone shouted at the top of his voice: "Will Lord Liang still be the chief priest at this year's River God Festival? We all hope that Lord Liang will bring us good luck!"
"There's no sign that the River God Festival can be held."
"How can we not do it? That would be disrespectful!"
Liang Qu suddenly thought and shouted, "I must accept the position! I am willing to accept the position because of the kindness of my fellow villagers."
I know that there are many people in Yixing Town now, and not everyone respects the river god, but we cannot forget our roots. At worst, we can do it ourselves!
Fellow villagers don't have to worry about spending money, just rest assured, the bulk of the sacrifice expenses will be paid by me alone!"
Liang Qu's status and power became more and more extraordinary.
Others need to think carefully about what he says.
So much so that...
In order to please him, you have to want to do it even if you don't want to.
