    Nan Baoyi is sitting on the embroidered pier.

    She looked at Zhang Yuanwang leisurely and said, "It's boring to wait, Mr. Zhang, why don't we make a bet?"

    In this life and past life, Zhang Yuanwang has never felt sorry for his eldest sister.

    He owes her an apology for two lifetimes.

    Zhang Yuanwang raised his eyebrows, "What are you betting on?"

    "If our family really hid taxes, then my sister would marry you. If not, then you should apologize to my sister."

    Zhang Yuanwang pondered.

    He didn¡¯t understand where Nan Baoyi got the courage to bet with him.

    It is a fact that the Nan family hid taxes.

    His Zhang family¡¯s shop still tried every means to hide taxes, let alone a big business like Nanfu?

    Otherwise, how can we make more money?

    Since this little girl wants to make a bet with him, then he can do it!

    He waved his folding fan and smiled wildly: "I'll bet with you!"

    The accounting gentlemen checked for three hours.

    After finally finishing the investigation, the leader of the old accountant stood up, first bowed to the common people, and then turned to Mr. Chang and Mrs. Nan respectfully.

    He said loudly: "We have looked through the Nan family's accounts over the years and found that there are indeed problems in them."

    Mrs. Chang was overjoyed.

    Today¡¯s royal family attaches great importance to taxation. If someone evades taxes, the whistleblower will receive half of the reward after verification.

    I don¡¯t know how much money Nanfu has embezzled over the years. Even if they only get half of it, it is still a lot of money for the Zhang family!

    She stood up excitedly: "Did the Nan family hide millions of taels in taxes?!"

    Several million taels of snowflake-patterned silver!

    ¡°She is prosperous, and their family is going to be brilliant!

    Beads and hairpin jewelry, Shu Brocade Lingluo, she can buy whatever she wants from now on!

    Zhang Yuanwang turned to Nan Baorong triumphantly, "Baorong, it seems that you can't escape our marriage!"

    Even the people in the city were talking a lot, wondering how Nanfu, who was usually very kind, could do such a ridiculous thing as hiding taxes.

    Amid the accusations, the old accountant suddenly burst into tears.

    He cried: "Mrs. Chang is wrong. The Nan family has not hid taxes In the past three years, the Nan family has not only paid taxes truthfully, but has even allocated 500,000 taels of snowflake silver every year to build roads, bridges, and finance  Academy, disaster relief, the Nan family is a great philanthropic family!"

    The whole place was silent.

    The old lady put down the tea cup and smiled: "The old gentleman is wrong. Our Nan family did not accumulate virtues and do good deeds in the past three years, but started more than two hundred years ago. Our family spends 500,000 taels of snowflakes every year  Patterns of silver, relief to the poor, and construction projects. Although no one in the Nan family has obtained any honors, the ancestral motto is: Once you have tens of millions of mansions, you will be able to protect the poor people all over the world with joy!"

    When Du Fu was down and out, he lived in a thatched cottage in Jinguan City. He once wrote in "Song of Thatched Cottage Broken by the Autumn Wind":

    With tens of millions of mansions in Ande, all the poor people in the world will be happy!

    Nowadays, Nanfu is rich and wealthy. Since there are tens of millions of mansions, it is natural that it should be used to make the poor people in the world happy!

    The people present could not help but burst into tears.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­  !

    A private school teacher couldn't help wiping his beard and sighed: "The Book of Changes says that a house that accumulates good deeds will always be happy. Nanfu's good deeds and good deeds deserve splendor and wealth! No one else has the honor of being the richest man in Shu County except Nanfu.  People can afford it!¡±

    The other people nodded in agreement.

    Chang's face was pale and his figure was shaky.

    How could it be possible? How could the Nan family not hide taxes if they were so rich?  !

    The tax in Shu County is one out of ten.

    Aren¡¯t they heartbroken that the Nan family earns so much money every year and has to pay a huge amount of tax?  !

    A highly virtuous and respected scholar glanced at Chang with disdain, "The Book of Changes also says that a family that accumulates bad deeds will be in trouble. Those who do too much unrighteousness will surely perish themselves, Zhang family, ha!"

    Everyone laughed and looked at it.

    Chang's face turned red with embarrassment.

    She had no face to stay here anymore and said angrily: "Yuanwang, let's go!"

    "Wait a minute."

    Nan Baoyi stopped Zhang Yuanwang, Danfeng's eyes were as crescent-shaped: "Master Zhang still owes my sister an apology."

    Zhang Yuanwang glanced at Nan Baorong, his heart became angry, and he said in a rough voice: "I have offended many people in the past, I'm sorry!"

    Completely without any sincerity??, follow Chang and leave.

    At this moment, the sound of military boots suddenly came from all directions.

    Countless soldiers appeared here, blocking the way of the mother and son.

    The sound of horse hooves came.

    Nan Baoyi looked at the young man on horseback. He was handsome, golden and jade, wearing military boots and a dark red official robe embroidered with beast patches, which made him tall, tall and majestic.

    He walked to the gate of Nanfu, stood up and dismounted gracefully.

    Throwing the reins to Shiku, he sat down on the armchair brought by the attendant.

    His long legs naturally overlapped. He rolled up his arrow sleeves and smiled: "I heard that someone was making trouble here, so Xiao came here to check."

    Mrs. Chang was so embarrassed that she wished she could go home quickly so she wouldn't have time to quarrel with him.

    She said angrily: "How dare you stop me from a rank-6 guard?! I am the wife of the captain's family!"

    Zhang Yuanwang was equally dissatisfied, "Xiao Yi, who gave you the courage to mobilize the army?! Take them away quickly! If you don't understand, I will report it to my father later and ask him to remove you and investigate!"

    Xiao Yi chuckled: "You framed Nanfu for hiding taxes. Do you think this is the end of the matter?"

    "I've already apologized to Nan Baorong, what else do you want?" Zhang Yuanwang was impatient, "You're just a guard, a pawn in the tent, who gave you the courage to interrogate us?! What a dirty thing, you met my father, you still want to  Kneel down and kowtow to him!"

    He still wanted to insult him, but the sound of horse hooves outside the long street and a high-pitched voice singing came from far away:

    "The imperial edict has arrived¡ª¡ª"

    Everyone present, except Xiao Yi, was shocked.

    Jinguan City is three hundred miles away from Shengjing City, how could an imperial edict be issued?

    Who is the edict for? Is it a punishment or a reward?

    Before they could figure it out, when they saw the cavalry with bright yellow flags waving, their bodies had already kneeled down subconsciously.

    Even the old lady was supported by Nan Baorong and knelt down respectfully.

    Across the huge crowd, Nan Baoyi looked at Xiao Yi.

    The powerful minister looked indifferent, obviously he had known for a long time that an imperial edict would be issued today.

    A guess emerged in her mind.

    "The powerful minister made great military achievements in the war of Yelang Kingdom. Could this imperial edict be for him to be promoted to a higher rank?"

    "I just don't know, what kind of official title will be given?"

    A partial general?

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Little general?

    She couldn't guess.

    The eunuch delivering the edict got off his horse, unfolded the edict, and read at the top of his voice:

    "By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict: Xiao Yi was guarding Shu County. In the Battle of Yelang, he killed thousands of enemies and provided more than 20 suggestions. He planned and won a total of 16 battles. He unexpectedly defeated the capital of Yelang.  The first achievement of this battle! I am very pleased that Xiao Yi has made great achievements at this young age. I will grant him the title of Marquis of Jingxi, second grade, a thousand taels of gold, and food for thousands of households. I appreciate this!"

    After he finished reading, he looked at Xiao Yi with a smile.

    The youth is handsome and beautiful, just like gold and jade.

    It¡¯s hard to imagine how invincible he is on the battlefield, wearing bright clothes and an angry horse.

    Xiao Yi thanked him calmly.

    The eunuch nodded secretly again.

    It is a rare state of mind for an eighteen-year-old young man to be able to become a prince and a general without being arrogant or impetuous. I am afraid he will be in a higher position in the future.

    His smile was a little more endearing, and he said kindly: "The emperor got up that morning and heard that the Marquis had conquered the capital of Yelang Kingdom. He was so happy that he didn't even bother to put on his socks. He did two somersaults in the palace and praised the Marquis for his fearless youth.  You can become the pillar of South Vietnam in the future!"

    Xiao Yi was noncommittal.

    The old lady smiled and came forward to say hello: "My father-in-law has come a long way and is tired from the journey. Please come to the house to rest and let us entertain you well."

    "You're welcome, madam!"

    The crowd of people entered the mansion together.

    Chang¡¯s and Zhang Yuanwang¡¯s faces turned green, white, red, and black, which can be described as wonderful.

    Second-grade Marquis Jingxi, his official rank is much higher than that of a mere captain!

    With 10,000 households living in the city, he will receive a fief with a population of tens of thousands, and will have the right to collect taxes from the people!

    This means that his title has real power!

    Mrs. Chang tugged on Zhang Yuanwang's sleeve, signaling to run quickly.

    Unfortunately, before the two of them could take a few steps, they were surrounded by soldiers.

    Mrs. Chang gritted her teeth and forced a smile: "Congratulations, Mr. Xiao, for being named Marquis of Jingxi by the Holy Emperor This is a great event for the Guangzong Emperor!"
