Chapter 1120: Reward

Hearing Li Zhi's words, all the officials in Huangji Palace were inexplicably excited.

It's about reward based on merit.

In the past, every time Li Zhi was promoted, or the power of a town and nine provinces expanded, Li Zhi's officials could receive rewards. If Li Zhi was promoted, then his subordinates could report to the court along with Li Zhi's military exploits and be promoted.

If Li Zhi's power expands, officials will be promoted to more important positions, promoted, and serve as more important managers.

Now that Li Zhi has become emperor, he can rule the whole of China at once, and everyone's official positions and titles will obviously be further improved.

Although Li Zhi was extremely strict about official discipline and attached great importance to the performance evaluation of officials, and took various measures to encourage officials to dare to commit corruption, Li Zhi paid extremely high salaries to officials. Li Zhi believed in high salaries to maintain integrity and was willing to provide good benefits.

The material conditions for quality officials to be granted the title of wife and son.

Therefore, for the officials of "Daqi", promotion also means making a fortune, which is a very exciting thing. Of course, this is different from the method of the Ming Dynasty civil servants who made a fortune by destroying social order through their own hands. In the end, it caused

The social consequences are completely different.

Of course, from the perspective of Confucian scholars, Li Zhi's becoming emperor is not necessarily good news for Daqi officials. From the perspective of Chinese history, there are many emperors who began to suppress their heroes after becoming emperor. After Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin became emperor

He released his military power over a glass of wine. After Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, he slaughtered batches of veterans for their merits.

However, the officials of "Daqi" knew Li Zhi, but they did not doubt that Li Zhi would attack his subordinates.

Li Zhi is a different kind of emperor. Li Zhi's vision is not limited to China, the land of East Asia. Li Zhi wants to lead the Han people to kill the whole world and let the descendants of Yan and Huang occupy every corner of the earth. From this starting point

It is impossible for Li Zhi to cut off his own arms.

The officials looked at each other happily, and then saw Li Zhi standing up from the throne.

If Zhu Youjian were here, he would never stand up from the dragon throne easily. The emperors of the Ming Dynasty succeeded to the throne by blood, and did not have prestige or merit. What was important was that the emperor sat with his head bowed and the dignity of the emperor.

But Li Zhi is different. The career Li Zhi has done has benefited all the people in the world and everyone has benefited. Even if he stands alone in the wilderness, no one passing by will disrespect him. Li Zhi does not need

Always act like an emperor and create authority.

He walked around on the high platform, looked up at the carved gold pillars of Huangji Hall, touched his lips and thought for a while.

Finally he stopped and said calmly: "Zhennan Bo Li Laosi followed me in the southern and northern wars, and even led the southern route army to expedition to the Indochina Peninsula, pacify Southeast Asia, and conquer India. Their hard work has made great achievements."

"I make Li Laosi the Duke of Daqi Town, in recognition of the good general's contribution to the expansion of territory."

After hearing Li Zhi's words, the officials in the majestic Emperor's Palace couldn't help but look at each other for a while.

Above the earl is the marquis, and above the marquis is the duke. Logically speaking, Li Laosi should be promoted to marquis first before being promoted to duke. However, Li Zhi valued Li Laosi's achievements very much and directly promoted him to the title of Duke.

Above the duke is the king. Li Laosi has now defeated Persia and the Ottoman Turks in India. If he continues to march north to the northwest and capture Central Asia, which has been frightened by the Tiger Army, will he be crowned king?

Everyone looked at each other and secretly said that dealing with heroes after the founding of the country had nothing to do with Li Zhi.

It can be seen from Li Laosi's title that although Li Zhi became emperor, he was not prepared to be an absolutely authoritative central emperor. As long as his subordinates have made meritorious service, Li Zhi can be granted the title of king. Duke and throne are not ordinary

According to Chinese tradition, the title is a title with such authority that it can overwhelm local officials.

Under the communication conditions of 1655, the first year of public morality, wired telegraph could not be built to every front line. For example, if you wanted to send a wired telegraph from Beijing to India across the deserts of Xinjiang and the plateau of Central Asia, it might take ten years.

It will take several years. Li Zhi's instructions to India must be delivered to India by ship, which may take one or two months.

As for North America and Oceania, wired telegraphs are simply unable to transmit orders across the sea. And Daqi's current territory not only crosses the ocean, but is also expanding at a rapid rate.

Under such geographical conditions, it was actually impossible for Li Zhi to direct overseas affairs.

In other words, as long as there is a duke in a place, or even a meritorious minister who is crowned king for his merits, that place will basically become a hall of the ministers and a highly autonomous area. So under these conditions, it is said that the prince

It is not an exaggeration to say that the important ministers are dividing territory and dividing the country outside.

Li Laosi became the duke of the country by virtue of his merits, and was only one step away from being a king. What Li Laosi could do, everyone in Huangji Palace could also do it. All the officials suddenly felt that an infinite future was waiting for them.

As long as you can achieve great results, anything is possible.

Li Xing's breathing became rapid. He looked at Li Zhi with wide eyes, waiting for Li Zhi to read out his reward.

Li Zhi looked at Li Xing and said calmly: "Dingxing Bo Li Xing is my younger brother. He has followed me loyally for decades and defeated the Jiangbei Army in the south. He has made great contributions. I am granted the title of Duke of Ding."

Li Xing blinked, slightly disappointed.

He was Li Zhi's younger brother. I originally thought that Li Zhi would at least make him a county king.

Obviously, although Li Zhi widely used available people from his relatives, he would not reward them arbitrarily just because they were his relatives. The criterion for promotion was still merit.

The surrounding civil servants and generals turned around and congratulated Li Xing. However, Li Xing knew that these people were actually glad that Li Xing had not been granted the title of king. The fact that he had not been granted the title of king meant that all the highest titles would not be occupied by the Li family. Then

Other civilian officials will have the opportunity to receive rewards for their meritorious service.

Li Xing took a breath and returned a faint salute to the officials around him.

But gradually he became happy. After all, he was promoted from earl to duke all at once, which was very impressive. Now that Li Zhi has come to Beijing, will he be rewarded with the old duke's mansion in Tianjin?

Li Xing thought about it and laughed.

Li Zhi raised his head and thought about it, was silent for a while, and said: "Cui Changwu was impassioned and served the country and the people without any reservation. I ordered him to carry out reforms in the Ming Dynasty, and he did a remarkable job. In the end, although the deposed emperor Zhu Youjian acted rebelliously,

Although he failed, he did not hesitate to die to show his righteousness. This ambition is enough to move the world."

"Cui is originally from Qinghe County. I conferred the title of Marquis of Qinghe on Cuichang Wu to demonstrate his selfless spirit."

"After Cui Changwu recovers from his injury, I will make him the prime minister of Daqi and help me manage the people of the world."

After hearing Li Zhi's words, everyone looked at each other.

None of the officials were dissatisfied with Cui Changwu. Although this person killed many people and offended many people when he was doing disciplinary inspection work, because Cui Changwu was so honest and upright, those who were offended by Cui Changwu really couldn't find him.

After Cui Changwu was imprisoned in Tianlao by Zhu Youjian, Cui Changwu's reputation in Daqi reached a new height.

Although Cui Changwu is not the oldest, everyone is convinced by this marquis.

Li Zhi did not look at the reaction of the officials. With Li Zhi's current prestige, no one would dare to gossip no matter how he arranged his personnel.

The next things will be done step by step, and there is no need for Li Zhi to announce them one by one.

A junior official in charge of etiquette affairs looked at Li Zhi's face, came out and shouted loudly: "The Emperor's wife, Cui, is Zhenliang Shude, Jiaolan Huizhi, and is regarded as the empress of Daqi and the mother of the world."

Then he took the list of awards written by Li Zhi last night and began to read out: "Ping Dong Bo Zheng Kaicheng has achieved great success and has been promoted to the Marquis of Ping Kingdom."

"Zhong Feng, the Bo of Zhenbei, has many plans and is good at fighting, and he has become the marquis of the country in Zhenbei."

"Zheng Yuan, the governor of Liaodong, self-disciplined himself and served his duties. He was promoted to the governor of the three northeastern provinces and granted the title of Northern Qinbo."

The list of rewards was very long, and the junior officials read it down one by one. In the end, it took a full hour to read the entire list in front of the ecstatic officials.

Finally, although all the officials in the Huangji Palace stood respectfully and said nothing, the atmosphere in the palace had already become intense.

Li Zhi looked at the officials with bright eyes and was silent for a long time.

Finally, he said sternly: "Everyone has been promoted today and cannot be complacent. The world is very big, and the Red Barbarians, British Barbarians, and White Barbarians are still provoking us, relying on Europe thousands of miles away. As your power increases, so does your responsibility.

Bigger. We must always remember public morality, remember the interests of this nation, and remember that our mission is to make this nation the master of the world."

The officials' faces froze at Li Zhi's stern reminder, and all of them woke up from their ecstasy.

Li Xing shouted loudly: "Brother Shengming! How dare we slack off at all?"

All the officials clasped their hands in front of them, knelt on the ground, and shouted in unison: "My Holy Emperor! How dare we slack off at all?" nt
