Before I Died, I Forcedly Kissed a Female Hero
Chapter 121: Becoming a Duke? Salary is too low
[Host has been awarded the title "Duke", influencing the next plot trend and earning 40 plot points.]
[The prestige of the Linlang Empire has increased significantly, affecting the next plot, gaining 20 plot points.]
Hearing the command in his ear, Su Shi then reacted.
"I've actually been elevated to Duke by the Empire?"
He raised his head to look at Feng Chaoge, as if he wanted to see what this woman was really thinking.
Behind the pearl curtain, Feng Chaoge's eyes were soft, "Su Shi, are you satisfied with this gift?"
Before Su Shi could say anything, the ministers exploded violently.
"Your Majesty, please think back!"
"Although Su Shi had made such a meritorious feat, after all he was a member of the Demon Path, how could he be instantly given the title of Duke?"
"It's too ridiculous!"
"I beg Your Majesty to revoke the decree!"
"Isn't this the same as handing over our Linlang territory to the rebels?"
At this point, the crowd dared to speak up and give advice.
The Duke.
This title is too big!
Just a moment ago, Su Shi had no title, but once this decision was announced, he instantly got above the ministers and became a first-class ruler ruling over millions.
Although the Southwestern Region was the lowest of the Nine Regions in terms of wealth and territory, using the country as a reward was unprecedented! Not to mention that it had been given to Shengzi from the Devil Path!
Chu Yin could not even hold back, "Your Majesty, if it is an immortal pill of spiritual treasures, it is fine, but the position of the Duke is very important, it should not be taken lightly!"
Although he intended to befriend Su Shi, this had affected everyone's interest!
Feng Chaoge said coldly, "Do you think I treat state affairs as a child's game?"
Chu Yin's voice twitched and she bowed, "I dare not."
Feng Chaoge's eyes were deep and his voice was cold, "I've never changed the decision I've made, so whether you can understand it or not, I don't want to hear any more complaints."
The ministers looked at each other, not daring to say anything more.
It is clear that His Majesty has made up his mind!
Feng Chaoge said nonchalantly, "The Duke of the Southwestern Region has no place to stay in the Weiyang Capital, so he should stay in the God Palace for now."
The expressions of the civilian and military officials changed.
No minister has been able to stay there yet, but His Majesty has even given Su Shi the God Palace to live in!
His attitude speaks for itself!
The faces of the people who jumped earlier, were all rather ugly at this moment.
It seemed that His Majesty's thoughts were already rounded, so hadn't they offended the Supreme Lord?
Feng Chaoge looked at Su Shi, "Do you have anything to say?"
The ministerial group also cast their sights.
Su Shi cleared his throat and asked, "This ...... can't I take it?"
The courtiers were almost thrown backwards.
Dubbed Duke, the ruler of the kingdom. This was a huge gift, and he was unwilling to accept it?
Feng Chaoge seemed to have anticipated it a long time ago, shaking his head and saying: "No, no matter who it is, if I say you have to do it, you have to do it."
Seeing Su Shi's silence, Feng Chaoge said, “The sect's succession has nothing to do with the Empire. So you can continue to be Shengzi, but for the Linlang Empire, you are the Duke of the Southwestern Region.
This decision cannot be disputed.
One could not even find a reason to refuse.
Seeing Su shi's helpless gaze, the corner of Feng Chaoge's mouth slightly curved, "Is there any more questions?"
"Yes." Yeah."
Su Shi asked again, "How much is his annual salary?"
A group of ministers are numb.
How could this person's question be more outrageous than the previous question?
Feng Chaoge replied seriously, "One year, you can get twenty gold marrow, three thousand high-grade spirit stones, thirty spirit materials, and seven thousand silver taels."
Su Shi frowned slightly, "Very little?"
This was not as much as he would get as the Shengzi of Demonic pathway.
"But tax revenue and silver from your territory, other than 30% goes to the state treasury, the rest is yours."
Feng Chaoge said with a smile, "Duke Su, if you want to make more money, it's better to run the Southwestern Region properly."
Looking at the bright phoenix eyes behind the curtain of beads, Su Shi felt as if he had been set up ......
After dispersing from the palace, the group of ministers did not immediately leave the hall, but swarmed Su Shi.
"Shengzi Su, I really heard a lot about you!"
"What Shengzi Su, now he is Duke Su!"
"Duke Shu is truly a talented man!"
"And that poem, what a genius!"
"I heard that Duke Su has comprehended the Sword Intent of Hao Ran, but when I saw you today, you really have a great spirit!"
Words of praise were unceasingly spoken.
The minister of Rites and others were also among them.
Right now, this was a person favored by His Majesty's side, and even if they didn't want to be friends, no one wanted to offend him.
"Mr Duke."
At this moment, a majestic voice sounded.
The originally bustling crowd immediately dispersed, only to see a sturdy man dressed in an old yellow circular dragon robe coming over.
Su Shi raised his eyebrows slightly.
This guy seems a little familiar.
Chu Yin said with a smile: “My son and Duke Su are already destined to be in contact. I heard he met you when you made a legendary masterpiece at Fengchun House yesterday”
Just now, he had questioned Su Shi in the palace hall, but now his smile was very friendly and natural.
Su Shi suddenly understood.
So he was Chu Qi's father.
"Is something wrong?"
Facing his cold demeanor, Chu Yin did not take it personally and enthusiastically said, "Although I am a rude person, I quite like poetry and poetry, especially Duke Su's poetry, which still makes me remember it."
"I happen to have a few bottles of immortal wine, so why don't you come over to my house and drink and discuss poetry?"
Su Shi shook his head, "No, I don't like to drink."
If he did not like to drink, how could he go to the Fengchun House?
Knowing that it was the other party's reason, Chu Yin's smile did not change, "It doesn't matter, then it's fine to have tea, taste tea and discuss poetry is also very pleasant."
Su Shi frowned slightly.
Why is this guy so insistent?
At this moment, a man with somewhat white hair walked over quickly, “Air flows down the Yangtze River, what a poem! Manlou said it came from the hands of a young man, I don't really believe it. ”
Su Shi froze for a moment, "You ...... Hua Manlou ...."
Hua Jinguan said, "I'm his father."
Su Shi arched his hand, "So it's Uncle Hua."
"That's fine. Come go to my place for a drink, Manlou happens to be there too, you can show your ability again so that the boy can learn well. ”
Hua Jinguan directly pulled Su Shi's arm.
Su Shi said with a smile, "If I don't have good wine, I won't be able to write poetry."
Hua Jinguan rubbed his chin, "I'm afraid it's all my treasure, but I'll let you drink it freely today!"
The two of them fused themselves together and walked out of the hall.
Chu Yin's smile froze on her face.
Faced with the strange gazes from the crowd, his face was a little unbearable, and with a cold snort he brushed off his sleeves.
When Feng Chaoge saw this scene, the corner of his mouth curled up in a silent smile.
"Tell Hua Jinguan not to get too much, lest Su Shi get drunk."
“Also, remember to send the man back to me.”
"Yes." Yeah."
The female official retreated in response.
