Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 840 The Big Boss
Men are afraid of entering the wrong line of work, women are afraid of marrying the wrong man!

Yuan Zixi felt that her daughter would definitely be happy when she married Lu Hao, and she always persuaded her daughter to hold Lu Hao's heart tightly.

Therefore, the mother and daughter decided not to go to Yandi City and went straight to Xunyang City to see Lu Hao.

Kong Xin was responsible for the defense of Xunyang City, and naturally he was also responsible for the security of the palace. Ever since the Ninth Princess broke into the hot spring bath, she knew that the relationship between the two was unusual.

Therefore, she immediately arranged a place to stay for Yuan Zixi, which was in Ningxin Palace next to Jinghua Palace.

Yuan Zixi got up early in the morning and wanted to come over to see her daughter. Unexpectedly, the two of them were not ashamed and didn't get up yet.

Lu Hao also heard her coming, so he quickly asked Zheng Xinyue to get up and go to greet her.

"Meet the emperor!"

Yuan Zixi bowed slightly.

"Free gift!"

Lu Hao looked slightly embarrassed.

After all, Zheng Xinyue slept in his bedroom last night. She must give an explanation to his mother for this matter, right?

"Mother, the emperor has said that from now on you will live with me in the palace to avoid wandering around."

Zheng Xinyue stepped forward and took her mother's hand, reporting happily.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

Yuan Zixi quickly thanked her.

"I led an army to capture Xunyang City, which led to the complete destruction of the Zheng Kingdom. And Xin Yue is the princess of the Zheng Kingdom. Now I am a little embarrassed to be with her."

Lu Hao said frankly.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to feel guilty. That crazy guy Zheng Yuanjie almost killed me. As long as my daughter is well, I will be satisfied."

Yuan Zixi said with a smile.

"In that case, you will live in Ningxin Palace. This will be my palace from now on. You can stay as long as you want."

Lu Hao felt that he should take good care of the mother and daughter.

"Then thank you, Your Majesty."

Yuan Zixi was extremely happy.

After all, she was treated like a noble concubine no matter what she did before. If she was allowed to go out, where would she go?

Now that we live in such a nice palace and are protected by Emperor Yongtai of the Chinese Empire, we will never be able to enjoy endless glory and wealth in this life.

Next, the three of them had breakfast in Jinghua Palace, and then the mother and daughter returned to Ningxin Palace.

Lu Hao walked out of the Qinzheng Palace slowly, ready to see if Ling Fengwu, the city lord, had maintained Xunyang City well?
Because the Chinese Empire's army did not burn, kill, loot or torture after entering the city, and Ling Zhongxian summoned most of the previous officials to prepare to entrust them with important tasks.

Therefore, the entire Xunyang City was as usual, every shop in the city was open as usual, and many people went to the streets to buy and sell things, and some were even performing tricks.

Today, the entrance to the City Lord's Mansion is very lively. Many officials from the State of Zheng gathered here, hoping to be reused by Ling Zhongxian.

After being the prime minister for so many years, Ling Zhongxian naturally knew the character and abilities of these officials very well, so he arranged positions suitable for them.

However, one thing has not been made clear, and that is the salary issue of officials in the Chinese Empire.

Ling Fengwu is just a girl, so she naturally doesn't know how to determine the treatment issue?
After all, you must ask the emperor for permission on this kind of matter, lest you say something wrong and it will end badly.

Suddenly, she caught sight of Lu Hao, who was walking towards the City Lord's Mansion.

"Weichen see the emperor!"

Ling Fengwu stepped forward and bowed slightly.

"The old minister pays homage to the emperor!"

Mr. Ling quickly stood up and knelt on the ground.

"The villain pays homage to the Emperor!"

Everyone immediately fell to their knees.Obviously, these officials still knew the etiquette and knelt down to worship the emperor collectively. On the contrary, it was the girl Feng Wu who stood out from the crowd and was a little embarrassed.

"No gifts for Mr. Ling! No gifts for everyone!"

Lu Hao said loudly.

Mr. Ling and others then stood up together and waited for Lu Hao's inquiries.

"Master Fengwu, why is your place so busy? Are these officials newly recruited?"

Lu Hao turned to Ling Fengwu and asked with a smile.

"Reporting to the Emperor, we have recruited many officials, but they are all asking about the salary issue. Otherwise, why don't you tell everyone about it?"

Ling Fengwu kicked the ball directly to Lu Hao.

"The salary of all officials in the Anxi Protectorate is compared with the salary of the same official position in the empire. As for the specific amount, I really don't know, but I estimate that it should be five to ten times your previous salary, or even higher! "

Lu Hao looked at the group of officials with a smile and said loudly.

"If it's really that high, we'll be relieved. After all, we have to support our families."

one of the officials shouted back.

"How much is your county magistrate's annual salary?"

Lu Hao asked with a smile.

"Reporting to the Emperor, our former county magistrate had a monthly salary of 100 taels of silver, which is only about 200 taels a year. If there is a little more reward, it is estimated to be 500 taels."

Ling Zhongxian quickly replied.

"One thousand, five hundred taels? Is it so little? A magistrate in the Chinese Empire has an annual salary of about 500 taels of silver! This does not include monthly living allowances and various rewards."

Lu Hao said with a smile.

What?Such a high salary?
Are officials in the Chinese Empire treated so well?

All Zheng Guo officials present were completely dumbfounded!
"Your Majesty, if a Great Protector like this old minister is equivalent to the second rank, wouldn't it cost one million taels of silver a year?"

Mr. Ling asked loudly.

"Of course, it must be more than 100 million!"

Lu Hao smiled and nodded.

"Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace, and I will do my best to die!"

Mr. Ling was so excited that he almost shed tears.

This is a truly majestic boss!
"Master Ling, I want to sign up! I want to be the county magistrate!"

"Ling Duhu, I also want to sign up. I want someone with a high position and a higher salary in the future."

"Prime Minister Ling, we have been friends for many years, you have to arrange a position with a high salary for me!"

"..."

Some officials who were hesitant at first are now signing up one after another to become officials of the Chinese Empire.

"I have long said that from now on you will be subjects of the Chinese Empire, my subjects, and all of you will enjoy many rights of the empire, including free schooling for your children, free food and accommodation, and the empire's maternity incentive policy. The empire’s agricultural production subsidies…”

Lu Hao spoke eloquently and patiently explained to everyone, which made everyone excited.

The emperor appeared in person to speak, which immediately attracted more people to watch. The entire city lord's palace was crowded with people.

Of course, the things Lu Hao announced spread quickly.

Under the trend of money and huge interests, the people of Xunyang City have turned Emperor Yongtai, who was a demonic existence a few days ago, into a wise emperor who saves all people from fire and water, and into a person who has never been seen before or will never be seen again. One emperor through the ages.

There is no doubt that the recruitment work of Ling Zhongxian and Ling Fengwu has naturally progressed extremely smoothly.

Many knowledgeable people came to join the Chinese Empire, hoping to get an official position in the soon-to-be-established Anxi Protectorate, so that they would not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.
