"Lin Aiqing stepped forward to listen to the seal!" said Emperor Yuanwu Yan Hao with a slight smile.

"Yes, Your Majesty, your Majesty. Lin Ze stepped forward with a serious face.

"Lin Aiqing, you have eliminated the 500,000 sand thieves who have plagued 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, plus you have expanded the territory of the Great Chu State for 1,300 miles, therefore, I have specially appointed you as the deputy governor of Shazhou, within a radius of fifty miles of Huangsha Town, as well as Black Sand City, Storm City and other places are your fiefdoms, and at the same time, you are 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. ”

"Wechen thank Your Majesty for the emperor's grace, the minister is not very grateful, and in the future, he will serve His Majesty for the work of dogs and horses, swords, mountains and fires, and he will never give up, Wechen has thanked His Majesty!" Lin Ze said sincerely, his heart was full of surprise.

Lin Ze guessed what position the emperor would give him, thought about the position of a general, and thought about promoting a knighthood or something, but Lin Ze never thought that he would become the vice governor of a continent.

Don't think that the deputy governor of a continent doesn't seem to be in a good position, there is a governor watching above, and there are also several other deputy governors around him, but, in fact, the deputy governor has a lot of powers, and he has his own direct territory.

Just like the title system in the Western world, every nobleman will have a special territory, and everything in the territory is ruled by the lord of the territory.

The same is true of Lin Ze's deputy governor, although in the position, he needs to listen to the orders of the governor of Shazhou, but Lin Ze also has a strong autonomy, in his territory, everything is Lin Ze's decision, even if it is the governor, he is not qualified to take care of it.

This is exactly the right that Lin Ze wants most, with complete autonomy, Lin Ze can rest assured that he can develop his own economy, some things that Lin Ze didn't dare to take out before, can also be taken out in a righteous and bright way, some very taboo things, Lin Ze can also implement them on his own territory.

It's like the school that Lin Ze wanted to build a long time ago, and now it can be built.

After Lin Ze gained a firm foothold in Huangsha Town and had the first team of 10,000 people, he thought about establishing his own school.

As a modern person, Lin Ze is well aware of 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 establish his own school on his own 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 Shenzhou Continent is still the Chu State, just think that their knowledge is very shallow, if you really think so, you don't know how you died in the end.

Lin Ze knew the importance of the school, and the officials of the Chu State also knew the importance of the school, otherwise why would most of the academies where the professors of the Chu State study were in the hands of the imperial court, even those relatively independent academies were all controlled by the family.

As the ruler of the Chu State, as well as the family that has been passed down for thousands of years, they all know the importance of talent.

At that time, if Lin Ze cultivated by himself, he would be taken down by his boss as soon as possible.

You started to build a school with just one hundred households, which fully shows that you, a hundred households, have great ambitions and a great threat to the future of the Chu State, so 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, now it is different, after having his own autonomy, Lin Ze can also rest assured that these conspicuous things in the school can be established boldly.

A deputy governor has such great power, which is really a relief 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 definitely didn't expect the emperor to treat Lin Ze so well.

not only gave him the position of deputy governor, but also promoted him to the general of the Western Regions, such a kind of favor is really rare in a hundred years.

It's just that the courtiers in the main hall only took a round, and no one came out to stop them.

It's too late for them to talk to Lin Ze now, where will they go to the good things that will harm Lin Ze.

"Hehe......." Emperor Yan Hao looked at the people below with a satisfied expression.

Originally, Emperor Yan Hao thought that his reward would be opposed by many people, after all, Lin Ze was too young, he became a deputy governor at the age of eighteen, plus the identity of a general in the Western Regions, which had never happened in the history of Chu State.

As a result, some old diehards may stand up against it strongly.

Seriously, it's understandable to think that these old guys would object.

I think they have worked hard in the court for thirty or forty years, or even fifty or sixty years, before they finally climbed to the status of two and one grades, and in the middle, how much energy they spent, how many dangers and difficulties they experienced, and how much psychological torture they endured, and finally they were very fortunate to climb to this position.

However, you Lin Ze just fought once, and climbed directly on their heads, or on an equal footing with them, and what's worse is that you Lin Ze is only eighteen years old, which makes it embarrassing for those of them who have spent decades to climb to this position!

Therefore, these old ministers will definitely be unbalanced in their hearts, and since they are unbalanced, they will definitely come out to stop them, or block Lin Ze or something.

Originally, Emperor Yan Hao was also mentally prepared to argue with these old ministers, but he didn't expect that this time no old ministers came out to oppose it, which made Emperor Yan Hao, who was originally prepared, depressed for a while.

His mood was like wanting to sneeze, but the feeling when he couldn't hit it for a while was really uncomfortable.

"It seems that I have to add another layer of assurance to Lin Lixuan's body, otherwise, what will happen in the future, it's really hard to say!" Yan Hao made up his mind in his heart.

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

Lin Ze below understood as soon as he heard it, and he immediately replied: "Your Majesty, just wait, Weichen will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty's expectations!"

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

As emperors, everyone has this infinite ambition in their hearts, and things like expanding their territory are the most attractive to them.

There are countless such examples in ancient Chinese history.

is like Yang Guang, the last emperor of the Sui Dynasty who is now crowned as a faint monarch, don't look at him as the last emperor of the Sui Dynasty, and his life is also very luxurious, // desolate /// lewd, but he is also extremely fanatical about the expansion of the leader in his heart.

In order to conquer the territory of Goryeo, Yang Guangke directly launched three major battles, and each time it was a personal expedition.

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

Similarly, Emperor Yuanwu Yan Hao is more powerful than Emperor Yang Guang of Sui Yang in ////Waste///, but he also has an expanding emperor's heart in his heart, and Lin Ze fulfilled his wish.

The most important thing is that Emperor Yan Hao also wants Lin Ze to occupy more territory, and it is best to defeat all the Eighteen Sand Cities, so Emperor Yan Hao will treat Lin Ze so well.

If you really want to say it, the emperor's kindness to Lin Ze is still not much.

For example, in the territory of Huangsha Town, Lin Ze only had a range of fifty miles around, which was much less than the territory of other deputy governors who had a range 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 worse than the price of those land of fish and rice.

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

Judging from this point, the emperor did not treat Lin Ze much better.

Maybe someone here will say, doesn't Lin Ze have Black Sand City and Wind City, the range of these two cities is far more than one or two hundred miles, and it directly reaches more than five hundred miles, so isn't this preferential treatment for Lin Ze, what is it.

It is undeniable that the scope of Black Sand City and Wind City is very wide, but everyone should not forget that these two cities are in the sea of sand.

Huangsha Town is a semi-desert area, so Black Sand City and Storm City are completely desert areas, such a place, even if it is given to others, others will not want it.

In the eyes of other people, sand pirate cities like Black Sand City and Wind City are cities with little development prospects, and holding such cities will only drag down their families.

Maybe some small families, or families with no background, will look at Black Sand City and Wind City, but as long as they have a little strength, they will not look at the dangerous Black Sand City and Wind City.

Lin Ze has a strong army in his hands, of course he will not be afraid of the other millions of sand thieves in the Eighteen Sand City, but the other people do not have this strong army in Lin Ze's hands.

Therefore, if they take Black Sand City and Wind City, maybe they have just entered the city today, and in less than an hour, the heads of these people have already been cut off by the sand bandits.

Therefore, it can be directly said that only Lin Ze has the ability to take cities like Black Sand City and Wind City, and the rest of the people will die as many as they come.

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

Is this a preferential treatment for Lin Ze?!
