In the governor's mansion, the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Everyone's face was full of smiles, and those who received the knighthood exchanged glances with each other, and those who received the knighthood had anticipation in their eyes.

Xiao Ming's gaze swept over everyone's faces.

To him, the title was just a title, but it meant a lot to these commoner-born generals, after all, the title symbolized honor, while silver and Yongye Tian symbolized wealth.

He gave these generals such a wealth enough to make them worry about food and clothing, and make it more difficult for them to be bought by the enemy.

And for him, there will not be much to lose at all, now that the six states are less people and more land, these arable land will be given to them, and agricultural production can also be promoted.

After rewarding the generals, Xiao Ming turned to Pang Yukun and said: "Pang Changshi, you have followed this king for the longest time, it is Xiao He of this king, you take care of all the logistics and government affairs with your own hands, and now this king also gives you the title of county earl." ”

"Your Highness, this ......" Pang Yukun was taken aback.

When discussing the reward, he never included himself in it, he didn't expect Xiao Ming to think about him in his heart, and he was a little overwhelmed for a while.

To be honest, he was very envious of Niu Ben and others being knighted, but from the overall situation, he was not jealous.

Now Xiao Ming suddenly said this, which made him feel complicated for a while.

"You don't have to shirk, this is what this king owes you, and your contribution to Qingzhou is no less than that of the generals."

Hearing this, Niu Ben and other generals nodded, they still respected Pang Yukun very much from their hearts, and Pang Yukun was honest, and getting a reward at this time would be able to improve their lives.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Pang Yukun choked up.

Recalling the days after coming to Qingzhou, he was deeply touched for a while, and he believed that the bright road of Qingzhou's future was waiting for them.

patted Pang Yukun on the shoulder, then Xiao Ming looked at Zhan Xingchang and said, "Zhan Xingchang, you won't feel low for the title of county earl." ”

"Your Highness, Captain Lu Fei is just a county uncle, and if he gets this title, the lower official is already grateful." Zhan Xingchang said with a smile.

He knew that he was still young, and if the knighthood was too high, it would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among others.

And Niu Ben and Pang Yukun are the right-hand men of King Qi, which is recognized, and there is nothing to be jealous of.

Xiao Ming nodded when he heard this, and then he rewarded Chen Wenlong with some officials.

In the end, he looked at Li Kaiyuan and the two businessmen.

He also included merchants in the list of rewards for no other reason than to attract wealthy merchants from the Great Chongqing Kingdom to settle in Qingzhou and transfer their industries to Qingzhou.

Although Xiao Ming has its own industrial system, Dayu also has traditional handicraft industries, such as textile, dyeing, papermaking, food oil and other industries.

He didn't need to create these ready-made industries, he just needed to attract businessmen to relocate their industries from other places to Qingzhou.

As for the technological improvement of the industry, it is a different matter.

"Li Kaiyuan, county earl." Xiao Ming said with a smile.

Li Kaiyuan had been fidgeting when he was rewarded just now, after all, Shangjia had suffered from long-term discrimination and had low self-esteem in his heart, and Li Kaiyuan was a little worried that he would not be able to get the title.

When Xiao Ming said this title, Li Kaiyuan's whole person relaxed, he stood up, his lips trembled, and he looked like he was about to cry, "Thank Your Highness for your great kindness, your majesty is unforgettable." ”

Xiao Ming laughed, when he asked Li Kaiyuan to take over the Chamber of Commerce, he had promised to treat him equally, which was also a reward.

In the end, he looked at the two most special people at this meeting, one was Ding Wu and the other was Dai Zixing.

He had carefully weighed the two men in calling.

These two people are both foreign businessmen, both of whom later joined Qingzhou household registration, and there is a lot of silver to support the Northern Expedition.

Especially Ding Wu, Li San has already investigated him, and he is Ding Wanquan's son.

Now that he has knighted them, it will greatly stimulate the enthusiasm of the merchants.

"Ding Wu, county baron, Dai Zixing, county baron."

Xiao Ming looked at the two and said slowly.

Ding Wu and Dai Zixing were uncomfortable from the moment they entered the Governor's Mansion, and in front of them were all officials and generals under the command of King Qi, all of whom were respected.

They are nothing in front of these people. ’

But despite some nervousness, they were equally apprehensive and hopeful about the title.

"Your Highness Longne." Ding Wu and Dai Zixing looked at each other and stood up, "We will definitely do our best to be loyal to Your Highness and make greater contributions to Qingzhou." ”

Xiao Ming nodded and asked the two of them to sit down, "The two of you are naturally selected by the merchant in the eyes of this king, you are the model of the merchant, and the two of you in Qingzhou will have to contribute more in the future." ”

Ding Wu and Dai Zixing nodded at the same time, their faces flushed with excitement.

Glancing at the reward booklet again, now that the title is over, Xiao Ming asked the students and businessmen to leave first.

What he wants to talk about next is the issue of government affairs.

"Now that this reward is over, let's talk about the fiefdom, this Feng Shilang has arrived in Qingzhou, or the king will go to Chang'an in a few days, during which you have to keep an eye on the fief for the king."

Pang Yukun nodded and said: "Your Highness is going to Chang'an, the big wedding is the right thing, if Your Highness can give birth to an heir as soon as possible, Liuzhou will be more stable." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Ming rolled his eyes, this Pang Yukun's mind was full of the same set in the court, and the princess had not yet discussed the heir, which was the same reason as the minister asking the emperor to give birth to a son.

If he suddenly hangs up that day, these guys won't be headless birds.

Although he was very helpless and wanted to smoke Pang Yukun, Xiao Ming understood that this was the helplessness of the feudal dynasty, after all, these people were following him with their lives.

However, he didn't eat Pang Yukun's set, but said: "Pang Changshi, this king is going to Chang'an, you have to deal with the affairs of Youzhou and the disaster victims, and cooperate with the army recruitment, there are still some young and strong people among these disaster victims who are unwilling to farm, and it is their ideal to join the army." ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Pang Yukun nodded.

Then Xiao Ming said: "And when the king comes back, it is estimated that the potatoes will be harvested, and you have to keep an eye on the slave plantation during this time." ”

Pang Yukun nodded again.

Xiao Ming looked at Niu Ben again and said: "Niu Dudu, you have to care about the formation of this Youzhou army, now that Youzhou is in our hands, the number of our military land should also be expanded, after all, the current army is already stretched, and the expansion of the army must start now." ”

"Yes." Niu Ben nodded,

Then Xiao Ming said: "Also, the musket has been installed in the army, and from now on, you must focus on building a firearms army." ”
