Hearing this, the old eunuch trembled.
His body trembled, and he almost threw the imperial edict in his hands to the ground and kneeled down first.
Damn it, who the f * ck yelled that?
Didn't you see the Emperor here?
How could you make the Emperor kneel?
You're going to kill me!
What should I do?
What the hell should I do?
The old eunuch looked at the people kneeling down. He was so anxious that his whole body was trembling. His eyes were fixed on Li Shimin, who was standing behind Zhang Feng.
When he saw the Emperor kneeling down, he couldn't help but feel dizzy.
Zhang Feng was a little confused.
He felt that the old eunuch who was about to announce the imperial edict was looking at him strangely. His whole body was trembling.
How long had it been since the old eunuch left the palace?
He was so sick, and he still came out to announce the imperial edict?
Zhang Feng didn't think much about it. He just thought that these old eunuchs were trembling because of their bodies.
Would they be like this if they ate just a little bit of the Bone Strengthening Powder?
At this moment.
The old eunuch also began to announce the imperial edict.
"By … the Emperor's imperial edict, today … today, Zhang Feng, the shopkeeper of Tonghui Lane Winery, has made a great contribution to the Tang Dynasty. Hereby, I bestow the title of Viscount to Zhang Feng, hereditary!"
Zhang Feng's pupils couldn't help but tremble.
Damn it, the Emperor still had some conscience!
But for the people of Tonghui Lane present, this was a big deal!
Viscount!
Although it was only the lowest noble title, it was still a noble title!
And it wasn't even a county baron, but a viscount, which was even higher than a county baron, and it was hereditary.
Generally, noble titles were not hereditary. Whether it was a county baron, a viscount, or a duke, which was higher than a viscount, none of them were hereditary. But any title with the word hereditary was a great existence.
At this moment, although the old eunuch didn't say what Zhang Feng had done, the people could only think that Zhang Feng's trip to the academy this time was very important to the Emperor.
The old eunuch paused. In fact, he was looking at Li Shimin, who was kneeling on the ground. His palms were cramping.
However, since the imperial edict had already begun, it could not be stopped. Only then did the old eunuch continue to read, "Today, we learned that you are going to establish an innovative new school on Mount Xiao. We are very pleased! Therefore, he is rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold and fifty thousand mu of land on Mount Xiao to Zhang Feng! "
"As for White Deer College in Xiao Mountain, its rank is equal to that of Imperial College. All of the teachers will receive the same salary as the Imperial College's Chancellor and Secretary of Temple. After three years, they will be rewarded separately. As for the students of White Deer College, after they graduate, they can bring along a document issued by Zhang Feng and become an official in the imperial court or work in the Ministry of Works! All the properties of Xunshan Academy will also be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Works! "
Boom —!
After the last bit of the imperial edict was read out, the entire Tong Hui Lane went into an uproar.
"What … what's going on?"
"Fengzi's academy is going to become popular!"
"Oh my god!"
"What … what kind of academy did Fengzi open? How could the Emperor think so highly of it? "
"My … God has blessed my Tong Hui Fang. Finally, a golden phoenix has flown out of this chicken nest!"
Old He, Zhuzi's father, Zhuzi's dog, and the others were the most noisy.
However, no one said that they wanted to send their sons in. Obviously, they felt that they were not qualified!
As for the old village chief, he swung his walking stick shakily.
"Folks, quickly buy all the firecrackers you can buy for Lao Tzu. Today, I want to make Tong Hui Lane explode!"
"Okay!"
"Hahaha, it's time to let the name of Tong Hui Lane …"
"Wait! Shopkeeper Zhang has treated us veterans well. We, the An Le Workshop, will take care of these firecrackers! "
"Wait, my master said that today, our Yixin Dessert Shop will hold a big banquet for guests. Everyone who comes to celebrate the son-in-law must be present!"
Zhang Feng was very excited at first.
However, when he heard the word son-in-law.
The smile on his face froze.
"Little brother Zhang Feng, accept the imperial edict and thank the Emperor for his kindness!"
At this moment, the eunuchs hurriedly urged Zhang Feng to get up.
Just now, the crowd was too noisy. They did not dare to disturb these people. Didn't they see the Emperor smiling at these people until his teeth were exposed?
However, now that the crowd had finally quieted down.
The eunuchs hurriedly urged him to get up.
They even had the feeling of kneeling down and begging Zhang Feng to get up.
Zhang Feng just noticed that these people, no matter old or young, were all speaking in a trembling voice. Moreover, they were all sweating like they were drunk. At this moment, Zhang Feng looked up and noticed that these people's legs were shaking.
This was not right!
Zhang Feng got up and took the imperial edict from the old eunuch's hand, as well as a tray covered with a red cloth.
The old eunuch cupped his hands and prepared to leave. Zhang Feng was very happy!
He grabbed the old eunuch, took out a golden cake from his pocket, and stuffed it in the old eunuch's hand.
"Eunuch, I'm sorry for not serving you well today. Please …"
Before he could finish, the old eunuch withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted. He cupped his hands and ran away.
Seeing this, Zhang Feng was stunned.
"I say, Old Li, what's going on? Didn't I hear that after the imperial edict was announced, there was a custom to return the favor to the person who announced the imperial edict? Why did they run away? And why are these people trembling all over? They can't even speak clearly. Are all eunuchs like this? "
The eunuchs who had not gone far heard this. Their heels went soft and they almost fell to the ground.
Li Shimin smiled and stroked his beard. "This is probably because they admire what you have done, so they are grateful from the bottom of their hearts."
