Chapter 450 Wei Yu (2)
Dianshan Zheng?
The standard meal of the seventh grade? !
The Princess Princess has no formal rank. Dian Shanzheng is a serious court official, and he is also a seventh-rank official in the palace. Compared with the Qipin County Magistrate, he is only higher but not lower.
If you enter an official position from the imperial examination, it will take at least five or seven years for a new Jinshi to achieve such an official position. Not to mention the talent and hardships required to study.
According to normal methods, Ma Yaozong would not be able to achieve such an official position in his life. Now that the princess has opened her mouth, Ma Yaozong can fill the official vacancy and become an official official of the royal palace. What a happy event that brings honor to the family!
Magistrate Ma’s squinted eyes widened instantly, and he thanked the princess for his grace with great energy: “The princess has praised Yaozong and the Ma family in this way, and I can’t thank you enough. Please rest assured, princess, I’ve worked hard. This old life will raise three thousand war horses every year."
Jiang Shaohua smiled slightly: "The Ma family is loyal, and this princess's official position is obvious. It's what the people of Mashe deserve. In the past few years, the people of Mashe have been doing very well. From the princess's point of view, he has great potential and his future will never stop here. Therefore, Magistrate Ma cannot risk his life and live a good life. When I reach the age of one hundred, I may see the Ma family prosper and become a prominent family in Liang Dynasty.”
Decades ago, he took the Ma family up and down to the outside of the customs, and sacrificed more than a dozen lives before he built a horse farm and a trade route to the outside of the customs. After decades of operation, the Ma family, a former merchant, has become one of the top merchants in Nanyang County.
If one day, the Ma family can truly become a prominent family in Dalian, what else can he be stingy about with his old life? Why don't the Ma family work hard and die for the princess?
Magistrate Ma stood up and solemnly bowed his hands in salute: "According to the princess's auspicious words, I also look forward to seeing that day with my own eyes. The Ma family is loyal to the princess and will do their best to serve the princess. ”
Jiang Shaohua was satisfied.
Ma Yaozong is young and passionate, but Magistrate Ma is a real old fox. It is easy to persuade Ma Yaozong, but it is not easy to persuade Ma County Magistrate. She must give real benefits and a bright future that is truly within reach.
At this point, the Ma family can truly be used by her.
"Magistrate Ma, please stand up." Jiang Shaohua smiled and helped Magistrate Ma up: "Then it's settled. This year, the Ma family is waiting for double happiness."
Magistrate Ma grinned, his eyes Narrowed into a line.
......
"What did the princess say to my grandfather today?"
That night, after Ma Yaozong left his errand, he went to Magistrate Ma's house , asked curiously.
Magistrate Ma smiled and glanced at his eldest grandson: "Did you want to ask, or did Chen Sheren ask you to ask out of curiosity?"
After several years of experience, Ma Yaozong is much thicker-skinned than before. He responded with a smile: "The Ma family and the Chen family are discussing marriage. Chen Sheren and I will soon be an unmarried couple, regardless of inside or outside. My future granddaughter-in-law would like to ask a question. , Could it be that grandpa just refuses to say anything?"
Magistrate Ma laughed and patted his eldest grandson on the shoulder: "You idiot, you still know how to use words to provoke grandpa. However, for such a big matter, the princess. If you haven’t told me yet, don’t ask.”
Then, he told me about the royal palace’s meal position promised by the princess.
Ma Yaozong was a little surprised, but more excited: "After Qiu Dianshan resigned, the court repeatedly sent people to fill the official vacancy, but the princess refused. I never thought that the official vacancy was for the county. The Lord has reserved it for me. It seems that in the princess’ heart, I am a person who can be of great use.”
Magistrate Ma: "..."
Magistrate Ma didn't know whether to be angry or laugh, and patted him again: "It's okay to say this in front of my grandfather, but you have to keep a low profile when you go out to avoid recruiting people. Jealousy."
Ma Yaozong chuckled: "Grandpa, don't worry, I never act in a showy way. This is because I know the good news. I couldn't hold it back and just said a few words in front of my grandfather. "I thought that the princess would let me go to the workshop and work with Shen Gong, just like Tang Youyin, who had been following Feng Changshi. Come on, the princess actually promoted me like this.”
“Wait a minute!”
Ma Yaozong finally sensed that something was wrong and frowned: "Did the princess send some embarrassing errands to grandfather?" Even if we have some strength, it is not a big problem. The Ma family is originally raising horses for the princess and the prince. It is their duty to buy more horse slaves, buy more fodder, and raise more horses. "
Ma Yaozong fell silent and passed After waiting for a long time, he whispered: "From the incident in Pingzhou, I feel that the princess is different from before."
"I, the princess, don't even know the real strength of Nanyang County. Anyway, I don't know the true strength of the army. , none of the northern counties can compare with Nanyang County. The princess is not satisfied and wants to expand the horse farm, so she naturally needs to continue to expand her troops."
"Grandpa, I feel excited and scared. ”
Who says it's not?
He has lived for more than seventy years, and he is a little frightened at this moment.
Magistrate Ma took a deep look at Ma Yaozong: "There is nothing to be afraid of. Even if the sky does not fall, even if it does, the princess will be there to hold it up. Our Ma family has been there more than thirty years ago. I have staked my entire fortune on Nanyang Prince's Mansion, and now I can't retreat. , and we must not retreat."
"The higher the princess goes, the higher our Ma family will fly."
"On the contrary, the higher the princess goes. It’s just that our Ma family is in bad luck, so we have nothing to complain about.”
"Think about the Chen family. The whole family has already boarded the princess's boat. There are also Feng Changshi, Shen Gongzheng and the others. Who doesn't have all their wealth on the princess's side? They are not afraid. What do we have to be afraid of? Wealth and wealth are in danger. Please, our Ma family will make this bet."
Ma Yaozong was excited and nodded vigorously.
......
The next day, Ma Yaozong went to work on an errand with dark eyes.
Jiang Shaohua just ignored him and said with a smile: "This princess is going to the racecourse today to see the horse farm, and the horse owner will make arrangements. Also, please ask the horse owner to find a horse from the Rouran tribe. Slave, this princess wants to learn Rouran language.”
The Rouran cavalry massacred Pengcheng and took tens of thousands of people into slavery. For Daliang, this is a mortal blood feud.
The princess wants to learn the Rouran language. Could it be that she plans to personally lead the troops to fight Rouran in the future?
Ma Yaozong muttered in his heart and responded: "I can speak Rouran dialect. If the princess wants to learn, I can teach the princess."
Jiang Shaohua glanced over with a smile. : "More than just learning to speak Rouran language, I also want to know Rouran's customs, habits, geography, topography, etc. You can just find a Rouran manu who is old enough to speak Chinese as a human being."
Ma Yaozong then accepted the order and retreated.
On this day, Jiang Shaohua rode his horse to the racecourse and spent half a day watching the racecourse. In the afternoon, Ma Yaozong came over with a Rouran slave.
