Li Mansion.
Li Nuo and the beauty Yiren had just returned from the Song Family's dinner party.
This banquet was not just a routine gathering, but also to celebrate the promotion of his Lord Father-in-law.
He was no longer a Minister of Personnel but now an Assistant Minister of Personnel.
He had been promoted from the Standard Fifth Rank to the Standard Fourth Rank, rising two levels.
In Daxia, for officials above the fifth rank, advancing one rank versus two ranks meant completely different concepts.
Above the fifth rank, sub-positions like Secondary Fourth Rank and Secondary Third Rank usually involved idle but prestigious roles.
These positions carried high rank and substantial salaries, but their daily government duties were minimal, involving tasks like editing books, revising history, or monitoring government officials. They rarely held significant actual power.
