Iron Dynasty

Xiao Ming woke up when the first rays of sunlight came into the bedroom through the gap in the window in the morning.

Instinctively, he groped under the quilt behind him and found that someone had walked away and was cold.

Lying in the bed and reminiscing about the spring last night, he couldn't help but bring a smile to the corner of his mouth. After so many days, this is the real life.

But what surprised him was that these two girls knew a lot. It seemed that the two really received training in this area in the palace.

Now he finally understands why Xiao Wenxuan is so afraid of losing his throne.

The world's first-class glory and wealth, gentle daughter town is not the palace compound.

Just as he was thinking, the door of the bedroom was pushed open, and Luluo walked in with the salt tea gargling his mouth.

His Royal Highness, you are awake. Pang Changshi has been waiting outside for a while, saying that all the generals from Shanhaiguan have returned. When will this reward conference start? Luluo looked at Xiao Ming's eyes without the previous blue. Astringent, but with a family-like intimacy.

They gave Xiao Ming their whole heart last night, and their psychology naturally changed, from a young girl to a woman overnight.

This change was keenly observed by Xiao Ming. He said to Luluo: It's enough for other maids to do such a thing. Now you have to watch the textile mill and serve this king, it's too hard.

Luluo said with a smile: Those girls are clumsy, slaves are afraid that they will not be able to serve Your Highness.

With that said, Luluo brought the tea to Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming laughed twice, and pinched one around Luluo's waist.

Luluo gave Xiao Ming a white look and said, Your Highness, Pang Changshi has been waiting for a long time, and it will be a long time in the future.

After drinking a sip of tea, Xiao Ming looked at Luluo and was a little surprised. If this girl had blushed and twisted and turned, now she is so calm, like a wife serving her husband.

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Xiao Ming went to see Pang Yukun after washing up. Now he pays more attention to government affairs. After all, he needs to work harder to protect him now.

Although the barbarians were blocked from Shanhaiguan, they must be looking for an opportunity to re-enter the Central Plains like a hungry wolf.

He did not forget the powerful combat power of the barbarians in Jizhou. If the barbarians seized the opportunity to invade the Great Yu Kingdom with the strength of the whole country, the Great Yu Kingdom would not last long.

Therefore, he has not been arrogant enough to think that he is invincible in the world. Before he has reached the military level of the First World War, the nomads have always been the great enemies of the farming nation.

What's more, the current Western powers still surpass him in terms of technology, and he still has a long way to go.

In the main hall, Pang Yukun had been waiting for a long time, Xiao Ming went to the main hall to inquire about the situation and went to the Governor's Mansion with him.

After the reward, he was about to go to Chang'an.

When he arrived at the Governor's Mansion, Xiao Ming sent someone to the Qingzhou Camp, and then notified the students of Bowen College to come, and at the same time asked Li Kaiyuan to call the businessman who contributed a lot to the Northern Expedition.

In the past few days, he and Pang Yukun have negotiated properly, and he already has the specific reward quota.

After a morning of preparations, Xiao Ming and Pang Yukun held a rewarding conference at the Governor's Mansion in the afternoon.

Everyone, I asked you to come this time. I guess you also know the purpose of this meeting in your heart. Xiao Ming said while looking at everyone.

Some of the people sitting in the Governor's Mansion are from the army, some from the Chamber of Commerce, and some from Bowen College.

When everyone heard the words, they looked expectant, and all looked at Xiao Ming.

After a pause, Xiao Ming said: If it wasn't for your great help in the battle of Jizhou, there is no need to talk about the danger of Jizhou now, and it is even more impossible for this Shanhaiguan to be in the hands of this king now, so, in order to reward you, this time this king will honor Promise, I will reward you with the title of honor.

Although it was clear in his heart, what Xiao Ming said directly was a shock to everyone, especially Lin Wentao and the others.

After saying this, Xiao Ming handed over the right to speak to Pang Yukun.

At this time, Pang Yukun stood up and said, The first is the award of the title, and then it will be the adjustment of Qingzhou's government affairs.

After coughing, Pang Yukun looked at Lin Wentao, Liang Yubin, and He Cheng, and he read: Lin Wentao led the School of Physics to conduct bold research and created a hot air balloon. He has made outstanding contributions in this war, and is hereby granted the county viscount with a thousand taels of silver. , Yongyetian 200 acres, Liang Yubin, He Cheng bravely manipulated hot air balloons in the war, provided information for the army, detected the enemy's situation, specially granted the county baron, rewarded 500 taels of silver, and Yongyetian 100 acres.

Thank you, Your Highness!

After Pang Yukun finished reading, Lin Wentao stood up abruptly. His whole body was trembling with excitement. Once upon a time, he was just a down-and-out scholar who might make a living by selling characters all his life.

Now he has a title recognized by the government overnight and has won two hundred acres of Yongye Field. This is a great gift for him, and it is a matter of glory.

Liang Yubin and He Cheng were equally excited, but He Cheng cried directly, which shows the mood at this time. After all, such things as nobility are generally not related to commoners, but now they have obtained something that can only be dreamed of in a dream.

This time Xiao Ming first awarded the Bowen Institute to emphasize that technology is the primary productive force. The meeting was recorded by reporters on the spot. After it was published in the newspaper, everyone would understand the importance he attached to the Bowen Institute.

The reward to Lin Wenyao ended, and then Pang Yukun began to reward Lu Tong, Chen Qi, Zhang Liu, and Song Changping. They are also technical backbones. Among them, Lu Tong and Chen Qi got the title of county count, Song Changping and Zhang Liu got the title. It's a county title.

After all, Lu Tong and Chen Qi made the most contributions to Qingzhou. From the eyes of everyone, he saw that they had no problem with this award.

After the Bowen Academy, the award was given to the generals of the army.

Pang Yukun turned the conversation to Xiao Ming. He is a man who knows his senses very well, and he has nothing to do with military affairs.

Xiao Ming picked up the reward book and looked at Niu Ben, and said: Captain Niu Ben led the Qingzhou army to defeat the barbarians and made great contributions, and he was awarded the title of County Earl, rewarded 10,000 taels of silver, and 2,000 acres of Yongye Field. Lu Fei fought bravely, Granted the title of County Earl, 2,000 taels of silver, 600 acres of Yongye Field, Luo Xin, County Earl, Qiguangyi County Viscount, Zhu Sansi County Baron...

After thinking about it one by one, the generals who participated in this war basically got titles of various sizes, and this also proves that Xiao Ming attaches great importance to the army, and eliminates the pedantic thinking of the Great Yu Kingdom of emphasizing literature over martial arts.

Thank you, Your Highness, Long En, we will do our best for His Highness and die. After Xiao Ming read the award, Niu Ben stood up with a group of generals and gave a military salute to Xiao Ming.

My honor is loyalty! The last group of generals shouted loudly.
