Chapter 380

In the governor's office, the atmosphere became more and more warm.

Everyone's face is full of smiles. The people who get the title exchange their eyes with each other. They are all happy, and the people who get the title look forward to it.

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

To him, the title is just a kind of address, but it is of great significance to these generals of civilian origin. After all, the title symbolizes honor, while silver and yongyetian symbolize wealth.

The wealth he bestowed on these generals was enough to make them have enough food and clothing to make it more difficult for them to be bribed by the enemy.

For him, there will be no loss at all. Now there are few people and more land in the six states. Given these cultivated land, they can also promote agricultural production.

After awarding the general, Xiao Ming turned to Pang Yukun and said, "Pang Changshi, you have been with the king for the longest time. You are Xiao He, the king's chief. You are responsible for all the logistics and government affairs. Now the king also gives you the title of county uncle."

"Your Highness, this..." Pang Yukun was surprised.

He never included himself in the discussion of conferring a title. He didn't think that Xiao Ming was thinking about him. For a moment, he was at a loss.

To tell you the truth, he was envious of Niu Zhen and others, but from the overall situation, he was not envious.

Now Xiao Ming suddenly said that, which made him feel complicated for a moment.

"You don't have to refuse. I owe you this, and your contribution to Qingzhou is no less than that of the generals."

Hearing this, Niu Zhen and other generals nodded their heads. They still respect Pang Yukun from their hearts. Moreover, Pang Yukun is incorruptible. At this time, the reward can improve his life.

"Thank you, your highness." Pang Yukun choked.

Recalling the days after he came to Qingzhou, he was deeply touched. He believed that the bright road of Qingzhou was waiting for them.

After patting Pang Yukun on the shoulder, Xiao Ming looked at Zhan Xingchang and said, "Zhan Xingchang, you don't think the title of county uncle is low, do you?"

"Your Highness, Captain Lufei is just a county uncle. I'm very grateful for the title." Zhan Xingchang said with a smile.

He knew that his qualifications were still shallow, and if he was too high, he would certainly cause other people's dissatisfaction.

It is generally acknowledged that Niu Zhen and Pang Yukun are the right-hand men of the king of Qi. There is nothing to be envious of.

Xiao Ming nodded after hearing the speech, and then he rewarded some officials of Chen Wenlong.

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

This time, he also included the merchants in the list of awards, for no other reason, just to attract the rich merchants of Dayu state to settle in Qingzhou and transfer their own industries to Qingzhou.

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

He doesn't need to create these ready-made industries. He just needs to attract businessmen to move the industries in other places to Qingzhou.

As for the technical improvement of the industry, it is another matter.

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

At the time of the award, Li Kaiyuan was restless. After all, the merchants suffered from discrimination for a long time and felt inferior. Li Kaiyuan was a little worried that he would not get the title.

When Xiao Ming spoke of the title, Li Kaiyuan was relaxed. He stood up, his lips trembling and he was about to cry. "Thank your Highness for your kindness. I will never forget it."

Xiao Ming laughs. When he let Li Kaiyuan take over the chamber of Commerce, he promised to treat him equally, which is also a reward.

Finally, he looked at the two most special people at the meeting, Ding Wu and Dai Zixing.

He was carefully measured in calling them.

these two people are all foreign merchants, who later joined Qingzhou's household registration, and many of the northern expedition's support.

Especially Ding Wu, who has been investigated by Li San, is Ding Wanquan's son.

Now he has given them two titles, which will greatly stimulate the enthusiasm of merchants.

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

Xiao Ming looked at them and said slowly.

Ding Wu and Dai Zixing were uncomfortable from the beginning when they entered the governor's office. In front of them were the officials and generals under the command of the king of Qi, all of whom had high status.

They are nothing in front of these people. "

But even though they are a little nervous, they are also uneasy and hope for the title.

"Thank you, your highness, Ron." Ding Wu and Dai Zixing looked at each other and stood up, "we will try our best to be loyal to your highness and make greater contributions to Qingzhou."

Xiao Ming nodded and asked them to sit down. "It's in Wang's opinion that the merchants chose you two. You are the model of the merchants. In the future, Qingzhou commercial two should make more efforts."

Ding Wu and Dai Zixing nodded at the same time, and their excited faces turned red.

After reading the pamphlet, Xiao Ming asked the students and merchants to leave first.Next, he will talk about government affairs.

"Now that the reward is over, let's talk about the fiefdom. This Feng Shilang has arrived in Qingzhou. In a few days, our king will go to Chang'an. During this period, you should keep an eye on the fiefdom for our king."

Pang Yukun nodded and said, "Your Highness is going to Chang'an. It's the right thing to get married. If your highness can give birth to a son as soon as possible, the six states will be more stable."

Xiao Ming turns his eyes when he hears the words. Pang Yukun's mind is full of the same pattern of the imperial court. The princess has not discussed the issue of children yet, which is the same reason that the minister wants the emperor to have a son.

In case he suddenly hung up that day, these guys would not be headless.

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

However, he didn't take Pang Yukun's way. Instead, he said, "Pang Changshi, I'm going to Chang'an. You have to deal with the affairs of Youzhou and the victims properly. Cooperate with the army conscription. There are still some young people who are not willing to farm. It's their idea to join the army."

"Yes, your highness." Pang Yukun nodded.

Then Xiao Ming said, "and when Ben Wang comes back, the potatoes will be harvested. During this time, you have to keep an eye on the slave plantation."

Pang Yukun nodded again.

Xiao Ming looked at Niu Zhen and said, "Niu Dudu, you have to take care of the formation of the Youzhou army. Now Youzhou is in our hands, and the number of our army and territory should be expanded. After all, the current army is already stretched. The expansion of the army must start from now on."

"Yes." Niu Zhen nodded,

and then Xiao Ming said, "besides, muskets have been installed in the army. From now on, you should focus on building a firearms army."
