Chapter 29 Glory
After that fierce battle between the Li family on the rainy night, although the Li family suffered heavy casualties, more than 40 people died in the guard alone, and six people died in the warrior Yin. This was the most elite warrior of the Li family. It took decades to train and recruit, and the power of the Li family was greatly reduced.
However, not only did the morale of the Li family not be depressed, but everyone in the Li family, including the servants and maids, was cheerful and arrogant, as if there were no casualties in the Li family that night rain battle.
It is no wonder that after that night, the Thirteen Lang of the Li family suddenly became a seventh-rank official, and Li Yi was promoted to the seventh-rank Grand Prison three days later by the princess, who was in charge of all prisons in Yiyang.
Although Li Yi was already at the level of a martial arts master, and had been made public and obtained records from the court, it was OK to be promoted to an eighth-rank official according to the rules. However, the princess said that he worked hard for many years, and Li Shisan was already a seventh-rank official, so as his father, it was not appropriate to have a lower status than his son.
In this way, Li Yi's official position, which had not changed for more than ten years, was promoted to the third level overnight. He used to be a small official of the eighth rank, with eighth rank among the middle, and from the seventh rank and two ranks, he came directly to the seventh rank official. The Li family suddenly had two seventh rank officials, and the entire Li family was filled with joy.
That's not all. Li Shisan is the direct leader in charge of the house scout. The Huang clan and the royal clan are both second-class and third-class nobles in Yiyang. The family's business is huge. After such a fall, many businesses will be involved and people will be in charge again. All of this is decided by Li Shisan. Suddenly, many people who are jealous of these positions come to the Li family to curry favor with them, hoping to get these benefits.
There are also all the devastating tribe members of the Li clan. Although the Li clan's Presbyterian Council announced that it would be severing the relationship with the Li family. However, those who were far from the core of the Li clan's power and those who were three generations away from the Li clan's direct descendants all came to the Li family, wanting to rely on the Li family, gain some benefits, and get some benefits.
These tribe members are not afraid of following the Li family and being implicated in the future. The Li Yi family has the support of the princess. In the eyes of these people, they are just holding a golden rice bowl. How could they know that the prince Yun Conglong of the capital behind the city of Zhou is behind? Don’t look at the battle in Yiyang, it involves the dispute over the throne. Whoever loses in the future will be defeated and one after another.
Besides, even if these people who want to defect to the Li family know that even the Princess Yiyang may fall, they will not care, and they will resolutely defect to the Li family. Because wealth and honor are in danger. Besides, even if the big guys fall, the little guys will be limited in their involvement. At worst, some of their families will die. However, if they gain wealth and retain some for their descendants, they will make a lot of money.
Just like the royal family and the Huang family have fallen, some of the people who escaped have brought a lot of gold and silver, which is not comparable to ordinary people. Moreover, the maids and ladies of the two tribes are very valuable, dozens of taels or hundreds of taels. Even if your daughter of a poor family is sold, it will be as big as ten or eight taels.
The Li family's servants are busy these days, and people always come to visit them all day long. Not to mention the poor relatives, even many officials in Yiyang come to the Li family to curry favor. Now everyone knows that the Li family is the princess's confidant, and those who have been excluded by the Lord Zhou in recent years, or some fencemen, have come to curry favor. Now the Li family is very lively, and the Li family has never felt as powerful as they are now.
Even the servants who went out to buy groceries were often caught and asked about the plot of the battle that night. This was the case with Old Man Du, who often went out to buy groceries.
At this moment, he raised his head high and frownfully, saying exaggeratedly when he heard the rumors, and finally said, "Hmph, those royal and Huang clan gangsters are so annoying. I was so angry that I saw it that I picked up the kitchen knife, rushed out, and also injured a bad guy!"
The people who joined in the fun didn't believe it, "Are you on the battlefield?"
Old Man Du shrank all his life, and at this moment he seemed to be drunk, and raised his neck and said, "Why didn't there be? Otherwise, why would the master give me five taels of silver?" He completely forgot that day that he was so scared that he hid under the bed in the room. He was shouted at by someone at dawn and came out.
Those who joined in the fun did not know that all the servants of the Li family had rewards after this incident, so they believed them. The look of old man Du had a hint of envy and admiration.
This society pays the most attention to loyalty and righteousness, especially the righteous servants who are willing to sacrifice for their masters, who want to enter the family sacred temple and can enter the master's genealogy after death.
Old Man Du won the greatest glory in his life and gained face in front of his former acquaintances. He suddenly felt as if he had never lived in vain in his life. He was immediately grateful to Li Shisan, who had made great contributions to the Li family.
Although the Li family has improved its status, more than 40 people have been killed or injured. It is not appropriate that the entire mansion is full of joy. But dear readers, you don’t understand the customs of this era.
Each of these dead guards received a pension of 200 taels, and the children in the family would receive a lot of funding from the Li family. Until they grew up, the Li family would be responsible for all the expenses. Moreover, the Li family would arrange positions for these descendants in the future. Even if they are capable of getting good positions, even if they are not capable and are an idiot, they can still get some care for the flowers and plants in the garden, be responsible for guarding the gate of the house and other positions. Therefore, one person died, and the family was happy. Therefore, the relatives of these guards were not sad at all.
What's more, Li Shisan was responsible for raiding the house this time, and the Li family gained huge profits. Not to mention the jewelry they obtained, the Li family has the right to decide many businesses of the two tribes. If they embezzle these businesses, the Li family may have a lot of wealth. But you must know that the royal family and the Huang family have been built for five or six generations of hard work to establish a huge, complex and powerful family. They will lose as soon as they are defeated. The Li family, who obtained these resources, has gained many benefits.
Otherwise, the most exciting thing in the world is to search and exterminate the clan.
The Li family has gained a lot of benefits, and the servants have also gained a lot of benefits. All of this is the credit of the Thirteenth Master of the Li family, so Li Chong won the seventh-rank official position, and the people of the Li family took it for granted. They all thought that Li Chong was so talented that he could destroy more than ten Yin warriors by one person. One person could lead ten Yin warriors and defeat more than 40 enemies. Who would be the one who would not be the seventh-rank official? They all thought that the princess promoted Li Chong to be a wise person. Some old servants of the Li family sat by the eaves at night, chatted with some people, and said, "This princess is worthy of being the daughter of the royal family, and his eyes are poisonous. You can tell at a glance that the Thirteenth Master of our family is a talent for generals and prime ministers. Let me say that it is still young to let the Thirteenth Master be the seventh-rank official."
"That's that, that's it. Judging from my lifelong experience, our Thirteenth Master is the Heavenly Seal Star descending to earth. If the princess meets the Thirteenth Master, it is the princess's blessing. Look, when the princess gets the benefits of our Thirteenth Master in the future, it will be even greater than the sky!"
