Guan Ning never skimps on rewards, especially for soldiers who have gone through life and death.

Over the years, Daning has had a mature reward system. Guan Ning is the founder, so it is natural that there should be rewards based on merit, but he will not be awarded titles easily.

Daning was founded by the new dynasty and experienced many wars. If every war happened, if everyone was awarded a title, Daning would be full of nobles in a few years. After a few more years, these nobles would become corrupt, and the country would also become corrupt.

decay.....

You can't just look at the present, but also consider the long term.

This was just his original idea, now he wants to make changes...

Lords are rare, which makes them valuable. If you give them away for free, they will be worthless. This can be considered as a precaution. I have to admit that many people who originally established meritorious deeds will be corrupted by the extravagant life after becoming nobles...

..

There have been many such people punished over the years.

Then why do soldiers fight for their country and sacrifice their lives for justice?

Because Guan Ning gave the soldiers honor and faith.

Building a meritorious temple, constructing a meritorious monument, and awarding medals for meritorious service... these are all extremely high honors.

Guan Ning certainly doesn't know how to paint cakes. When he gets honors, he also gets a lot of preferential treatment. Not only himself, but his family and relatives can also benefit from this.

The tenth year of Yuanwu was the first large-scale recruitment of troops since the founding of the new dynasty, and there was a flood of applicants. This is the best proof.

The war has lasted for many years, but Daning's army has never been scattered and can still persist to this day. For example, the Zhenbei Army has fought in the north and south without any complaints.

Now that the troops sent abroad have to stay in place and will not return to the country for the time being, the soldiers will inevitably feel turbulent.

What he wants to say actually has two meanings. Rewards based on merit are already in progress. Don't be anxious yet. I have not forgotten you and will personally reward you.

Guan Ning wanted to calm the hearts of the soldiers.

"The northwest suffered a great calamity. I have only heard of many deeds. The Ministry of Rites must prepare county annals and record down the events of these people. Even the most ordinary people must find their names and know their deeds.

, even a hundred years later, it can be remembered by future generations!"

Guan Ning's deep voice moved the courtiers.

The joy of victory cannot be allowed to bury the hard work behind it. The stable life now is built on a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

"I am also issuing an edict here."

Guan Ning said loudly: "From now on, we will exempt Bizhou and Tongzhou from paying taxes for ten years to repay the people of these two states for their heroic sacrifice for the country!"

"Barking State is not a sinful state, but a heroic state!"

Hearing this, some courtiers began to cry...

Among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, there were naturally officials from the northwest, who felt the most.

Other officials were also infected, and many of them covered their sleeves and wiped away tears.

Northwesters are heroic.

If it weren't for the contributions of the people of the two states, how could Daning be stable?

The alien armies from the Western Regions may have already broken through Pingzhang Pass and reached Shangjing City.

Such deeds are so touching that they should be passed down forever!

The northwest is a tragic place.

When the war broke out, 100,000 new troops rushed to the northwest. When the war ended, more than 70,000 heroic souls remained on the battlefield forever. Although people died in battle, the souls of the Anxi army will last forever...

Everyone in Fengtian Hall burst into tears.

Guan Ning did leave some time, there are some things that some people cannot forget.

Sacrificing one's life to go to a national disaster, seeing death as a sudden return home.

How many can really do it?

"Our army has occupied the enemy's territory and will return to Daning. I want to establish a government office and take over the management. This is the new land of Daning. It has a vast area and our territory of Daning has been extended..."

"Long live your Majesty!"

Whether you are a general or an emperor, the highest honor is to expand your territory!

A long time ago, they had heard that His Majesty wanted to unify the Central Plains and establish an unprecedented dynasty... Now it seems that this is not impossible to achieve, at least now they have some signs of it.

They have heard that the Daning army has currently occupied Beilin and Izumo provinces in the Liang Kingdom, as well as nearly half of the Liaoqing province, but they are still a little confused.

"How big is the province of Liang?"

"I heard that this province is as big as three or five of our states."

"So big?"

"Liang Guo is the largest country on the mainland."

The courtiers were talking a lot.

Five years of war, and now we finally see the results.

What is the war for?

Isn’t it just for the land?

"The increase in Daning's territory, such as Beilin Province, Shangyun Province and other places, requires officials to go, and I also make it clear here!"

Guan Ning said in a deep voice: "I want to annex the Liang Kingdom and incorporate it into the territory of Daning. For everyone, the best era has come!"

"As long as you have enough merit, you will be granted a title, you will get a fief, and you will become a noble. The highest one can expand your territory and become a king!"

Hearing this sound, everyone was shocked again!

They all know that although Daning has gone through many wars and there are many people who have made meritorious achievements, not many people have actually obtained titles, and not one person has obtained a fief!

This started from the previous dynasty...nobles with fiefs and nobles without fiefs are completely different!

For a nobleman who has a fief, the fief is his independent kingdom... For the court, sooner or later there will be consequences that are too big to lose!

In the end, it will cause a lot of trouble. When the vassal king begins to influence the centralization of power, the vassal will be reduced, which will cause turmoil in the country!

Why did Emperor Long Jing go to that point?

The reason is that he implemented the strategy of cutting down the vassal vassal, but failed to use the right method and failed to grasp the opportunity, which ultimately resulted in negative consequences!

How could your Majesty not understand this?

But why make such an opening?

This is everyone's subconscious thought.

In the past, His Majesty was extremely conservative in conferring titles. Why has he changed now?

Can you expand your territory and become a king?

Is this to inspire aggression?

Even Gong Liangyu and other cabinet ministers looked at each other in confusion. Before this, they had no idea that His Majesty would make such a decision...

The emperor is the supreme king, and his words are true.

If you say it at the court meeting, you must do it. Daning will also experience many wars. If it is sealed like this, I don’t know how many vassal kings there will be...

What should we do?

Is Your Majesty confused?

Although I have doubts, I dare not raise them at this moment. First, I don’t know His Majesty’s true thoughts. Furthermore, if I raise objections at this time, wouldn’t I offend those meritorious officials?

Your Majesty.

What exactly do you think?

Gong Liangyu noticed that many people in the court had their eyes shining, and their whole people were different.

It's anticipation and excitement.

Granting a king and a fiefdom is undoubtedly the biggest temptation!

Once this hole is opened, it cannot be stopped!

Gong Liangyu was full of worries.

Daning is heading towards its peak, and every step we take must be as accurate as possible, so that we can go further and longer.

In his opinion, wanton enfeoffment is a mistake!

He doesn't understand.

No one understands Guan Ning's thoughts, or in other words, his ambitions.

He wanted to establish a unified dynasty, he wanted to annex the Wei and Liang kingdoms, he wanted to incorporate the Northern Yi into the territory of Daning, he wanted to establish a protective palace in the Western Regions...

If you go step by step, it will take too long.

He can't wait, so he needs some special means.
