"Lin Aiqing comes forward to listen to the title!" Emperor Yuanwu Yan Hao said with a smile.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I am here." Lin Ze stepped forward with a serious expression.

"Lin Aiqing, you have eliminated the 500,000 sand thieves who have caused trouble to the Great Chu State for hundreds of years, so that my country will no longer have to worry about the threat of sand thieves in the future. In addition, you have expanded the territory of the Great Chu State by 1,300 miles. Therefore, I specially appointed you as the Deputy Governor of Shazhou, within a 50-mile radius of Huangsha Town, as well as Heisha City, Jifeng City and other places as your fiefdoms. At the same time, you will be promoted to the General of the Western Regions. I hope you can make greater contributions in the future. Lin Aiqing, come forward to receive the seal."

"I am grateful to Your Majesty for your great kindness. I am not very grateful. In the future, I will definitely work hard for Your Majesty. I will die in the sea of ​​swords and fire. I will never refuse to die. I am thanking Your Majesty!" Lin Ze said sincerely, his heart full of surprise.

Lin Ze had guessed what position the emperor would give him, thought about the position of general, and also thought about promotion to another title. However, Lin Ze never thought that he would become the deputy governor of Yizhou.

Don't think that the deputy governor of the continent does not seem to be in a good position. There is a governor watching above, and there are also several other deputy governors around him. However, in fact, the deputy governor has a great power and he has his own direct territory.

Just like the Western world's rank system, every nobleman will have a special territory, and everything in the territory is dominated by the lord of this territory.

The same is true for Lin Ze's deputy governor. Although he needs to obey the orders of the governor of Shazhou in his position, Lin Ze also has strong autonomy. In his territory, everything is decided by Lin Ze. Even the governor is not qualified to take care of it.

This is exactly the right Lin Ze wants most. With complete autonomy, Lin Ze can safely develop his own economy. Some things that Lin Ze dared not take out before can also be taken out openly. Some things that Lin Ze can do most are very taboo, and some things that Lin Ze can implement on his own territory.

Just like the school that Lin Ze had wanted to build before, it can be built now.

After Lin Ze gained a foothold in Huangsha Town and had the first 10,000-person team, he thought about building his own school.

As a modern person, Lin Ze is very clear about the importance of talents, and the school is the most important place to cultivate talents.

However, at that time, Lin Ze was only a hundred households, and it was impossible for him to build his own school on his territory.

Lin Ze’s official position is too small, and the people above will not let Lin Ze establish any school.

Don’t think that the State of Chu is still on the mainland of China. Just think that they have very little knowledge. If you really think so, you won’t know how you die in the end.

Lin Ze knew the importance of the school, and officials of Chu also knew the importance of the school. Otherwise, why were most of the academies studied by the professors in Chu in the hands of the court, and even those relatively independent academies were all mastered by the aristocratic families.

As the ruler of Chu State and the aristocratic families that have been passed down for thousands of years, they all know the importance of talents.

At that time, if Lin Ze had studied in his own school, he would have been taken down by his superiors as soon as possible.

You started to build a school just by just one hundred households. This fully shows that your hundred households have great ambitions and pose a great threat to the future of Chu State. Therefore, Lin Ze's boss will take Lin Ze down 100%.

Therefore, Lin Ze did not take the initiative to build any school at that time.

However, it’s different now. With his own autonomy, Lin Ze can also be confident and boldly established such conspicuous things in the school.

A deputy governor has such great power, which is really a timely help for Lin Ze, who has always wanted to vigorously develop his own strength.

"Boom!", the courtiers in the hall were also shocked. They also thought about how the emperor would reward Lin Ze, but they never expected that the emperor would treat Lin Ze like this.

Not only did he give him the position of deputy governor, but he was also promoted to the general of the Western Regions. Such kindness is rare in a century.

However, the courtiers in the hall only took a round and no one came out to stop them.

They can't even curry favor with Lin Ze now, so how can they ruin Lin Ze's good things?

"Haha..." Emperor Yan Hao looked at the person below with satisfaction.

Originally, Emperor Yan Hao thought that his reward would be opposed by many people. After all, Lin Ze was too young and became the deputy governor at the age of 18. In addition to being a general of the Western Regions, this has never happened in the history of the Chu State.

Therefore, some old stubborn people may stand up and strongly oppose it.

To be honest, it is understandable to think about these old guys who will object.

I think they had been working hard in the court for thirty or forty years, or even fifty or sixty years before they finally climbed to the position of a first-rank official. In the meantime, they spent a lot of energy, dangers and difficulties, and psychological torture, and finally got lucky to climb to this position.

However, after only one battle, you, Lin Ze, climbed directly on their heads, or on an equal footing with them. What's more, you, Lin Ze, is only eighteen years old, which makes it so affectionate for those who have spent decades to climb to this position!

Therefore, these old ministers will definitely be unbalanced. Since they are unbalanced, they will definitely come out to stop them, or cause trouble for Lin Ze or something.

Originally, Emperor Yan Hao was mentally prepared to argue with these old ministers, but unexpectedly, no old minister came out to object this time, which made Emperor Yan Hao, who was originally prepared, feel depressed.

His mood was like he wanted to sneeze, but the feeling he felt when he couldn't get it out for a while was really uncomfortable.

"It seems that I have to add another layer of guarantee to Lin Lixuan, otherwise, it is really hard to say what will happen in the future!" Yan Hao had an idea in his heart.

"Lin Aiqing, you earned these rewards with great credit, so you deserve it. I hope you will continue to work hard in the future. I am waiting for your good news here." Emperor Yan Hao said in a pun.

Lin Ze below understood as soon as he heard this, and he immediately replied: "Your Majesty, just wait. I will definitely not let your expectations down!"

The reason why Emperor Yan Hao treated Lin Ze so well is actually very simple, that is, the emperor needs Lin Ze to earn more military achievements for him and occupy more territory for him.

As an emperor, everyone has this infinite ambition in their hearts. It is the most attractive thing to them to expand their territory.

There are countless examples of this in ancient Chinese history.

Just like Yang Guang, the last emperor of the Sui Dynasty who is now named a fool, even though he is the last emperor of the Sui Dynasty, his life is also very luxurious, //Wild///Luxurious, but he was also extremely fanatical about the expansion of his leadership.

In order to conquer Goryeo's territory, Yang Guang directly launched three major battles, and each time he was an imperial commander in person.

Although it was these three expeditions of Goryeo that brought the Sui Dynasty into the countdown to its demise, we cannot deny that Yang Guang had an emperor's heart that expanded outwardly.

Similarly, Emperor Yuanwu Yan Hao was even better than Emperor Yang Guang of Sui Yang, but he also had an expanded emperor heart in his heart, and Lin Ze fulfilled his wish.

The most important thing is that Emperor Yan Hao also wanted Lin Ze to occupy more territory, and it would be best to defeat all the Eighteen Shachengs, so Emperor Yan Hao treated Lin Ze so well.

If I really want to say, the emperor did not treat Lin Ze much favorably.

For example, the territory of Huangsha Town, Lin Ze only has a 50-mile radius around it, which is much less than the other deputy governors who have a radius of two or three hundred miles.

Don’t forget that Huangsha Town is a semi-desert area. Such a place is extremely desolate, and the price of land is hundreds of times different from that of fish and rice towns.

In other words, Lin Ze's territory is not only smaller than other deputy governors, but also, in terms of wealth, it can be said that it is far behind.

From this point of view, the emperor did not give much preferential treatment to Lin Ze.

Maybe someone here will say that Lin Ze still has Heisha City and Jifeng City. The scope of these two cities is far more than one or two hundred miles, and it directly reaches more than five hundred miles. This is not a preferential treatment for Lin Ze, but what is it?

It is undeniable that the scope of Heisha City and Jifeng City is very wide, but don’t forget that these two cities are in the sea of ​​thousands of miles of sand.

Huangsha Town is a semi-desert area, so Heisha City and Jifeng City are completely desert areas. Even if you give it to others, others will not want it.

In the eyes of others, sand thieves like Black Sand City and Jifeng City are cities with little development prospects. Holding such cities will only drag their families down.

Perhaps some small families, or families without any background, will like Heisha City and Jifeng City, but as long as a family with a little power, they will not like the dangerous Heisha City and Jifeng City.

Lin Ze has a strong army in his hand, so of course he will not be afraid of millions of other sand thieves in Shibasha City, but the others do not have the strong army in Lin Ze's hand.

Therefore, if they took down Heisha City and Jifeng City, perhaps they had just entered the city today, and in less than an hour, the heads of these people had been cut off by the sand thieves.

Therefore, it can be said directly that only Lin Ze has the ability to take down cities like Heisha City and Jifeng City, and the rest of the people will die as much as they come.

In other words, the emperor was actually rewarding Lin Ze with something that originally belonged to Lin Ze.
