Wen Yi led the fleet all the way back to Dongning Island and was warmly welcomed.

Almost all the people of the island came, and even the people from the horse farm in the Rift Valley were called.

After all, Jin'an County and Langhu Lake are still nominally the land of the Jin Kingdom, and they dare not be so high-profile, but they also called some people with status and status over.

Fifty or sixty thousand people gathered at the pier is very spectacular.

This is not to shoot Wen Yi's sycophants, but for a purpose.

For the soldiers who joined the army, this is the honor they deserve. For the people, participating in such large-scale events can increase the sense of identity and improve the centripetal force of the team.

For the state, it is natural to increase cohesion and strengthen rule.

Most of the people didn't know what Yan Guo was, nor did they know how powerful he was. It doesn't matter, someone specifically came to tell them this.

The school administration system, which covers every village, has played a huge role, and all teachers have become propagandists.

Yan Country is the most powerful country in the world, how powerful, how terrifying, the reason why you became a homeless is caused by them.

first exaggerated the strength of the other party and created hatred, and then told them that the lord of the country personally conquered the Yan Kingdom in order to crusade against Wudao and avenge them.

What, you don't believe? I, Tang Guoyuan, have no enmity with Yan Guo in the past, no grudge in the past, no grudge in the near future, why do you want to beat them?

Is the lord of the kingdom not good to you? Give you food, let your children go to school for free, give you tax exemptions...... Is there such a Ming Jun in the whole world?

To be a man is to speak of conscience.

After a few words, those people were basically ashamed to admit their mistakes.

And then...... This battle was fought no matter how hard it was, but under the leadership of the wise and martial lord, we still completely annihilated the army of Yan and burned the opponent's camp, and won the victory......

This method will seem familiar to people in the 21st century, but it works really well.

The common people generally developed a common hatred and hatred for the enemy, and had a sense of identity with this war, which can be seen from their excited expressions when they greeted the 'triumph of the king'.

The returned soldiers have never enjoyed this kind of treatment in their lives, and they are equally excited, and a sense of honor and national identity arises spontaneously.

It's really nice to be in a country like this.

Wen Yi's personal prestige has also reached a new high, and if someone says to rebel at this time, it is estimated that the people will be the first to jump out and kill him.

The end of the welcome ceremony was not over, and every family gave out prizes, saying that it was a reward from the lord of the country.

Each family has a set of blue and white porcelain tea sets, a pot and five cups.

Even if the people don't know it, they know the value of this thing, porcelain, a good thing that many people may not have the chance to touch in their lifetime.

Give one set for free now...... Long live the lord of the country.

Amidst the shouts, the excited people dispersed. Those who are close go home, and those who are far away are responsible for sending them.

A grand national welcome ceremony came to an end, and everyone was happy.

The people are gone, but the triumphal ceremony is not over, or it has just begun.

Before the war starts, we must worship the ancestors of heaven and earth and pray for blessings to win the war.

After returning triumphantly, it is natural to worship and renew vows again.

first went to the Temple of Heaven to worship God Haotian, and then went to the temple to tell the ancestors that they had won the battle.

The end of the sacrifice is to reward the three armies, this time Wen Yi did not play a virtual reward for food or porcelain, and directly rewarded gold.

Ordinary soldiers each have a gold leaf weighing one tael, and the weight of the gold leaf varies according to the rank of the general, and there are special marks on it.

On the obverse is the inscription 'Tang Kingdom'.

On the back is: He Shengyan, November 12, Kaiyuan 3052.

This round of rewards cost almost 10,000 taels of gold.

However, for the current Tang Kingdom, it is less than one-tenth of the national inventory, and it can afford it.

The reward of real money is more effective than any words, and the morale of the whole army is high again, and the mountain shouts long live the lord of the country.

In the end, it was a banquet, almost all the people of the Tang Kingdom who had status came, and everyone ate and drank until the third watch was gone.

Wen Yi has always maintained the habit of not sticking to a drop of alcohol, and even this celebration banquet has not made an exception. With his status, no one dared to persuade him to drink, so he was very sober.

Under the guidance of the waiter, he returned to the harem and saw Xie Daoyun, who had been waiting for a long time, and the nurse left with the little carp in her arms very sensibly.

Wen Yi hugged her in his arms and said, "I'm worried about you." ”

Xie Daoyun didn't speak, but shrunk himself into his arms, and the couple stayed silently for a long time.

It wasn't until Wen Yi yawned that Xie Daoyun said shyly: "I will serve you to bathe and change clothes." ”

I won't mention the mandarin duck bath rolling sheets and the like in the back, anyway, Wen Yi slept until three poles in the morning the next day before getting up.

The ministers all pretended not to know anything, and even Gan Xian, who couldn't tolerate the sand in his eyes, didn't say anything about temperance and diligence.

Then everyone was busy together, and the first thing was to calculate military merits, follow-up promotions, and so on, which were all important bases.

"Although we don't have a knighthood system yet, there will be one day, and military merit will be an important basis at that time."

"Even if they die in battle, as long as their merits are enough, they can also be posthumously sealed, so you must calculate carefully."

"In order to prevent accidents, the military merit book is in triplicate, one is kept in the Privy Council, one is kept in the palace, and one is kept in the secretary's superintendent."

This secretary is not the kind of secretary that later generations often say, but the meaning of secret documents. The secretarial superintendent is the department in charge of secret documents, similar to the archives, which is under the jurisdiction of the three provinces.

The purpose of keeping the military merit book in triplicate is to prevent accidental damage or deliberate destruction of the data.

Hearing Wen Yi say this, all the officials showed excited expressions.

What are they building the country with Wen Yi?

Except for Gan Xian, who dared to pat his chest and say that in order to realize his ideals and ambitions, one of the others is counted as one, all in order to get ahead and glorify their ancestors.

For them, knighthood is the highest pursuit.

In the past, the country had just been established and its strength was weak, and no one knew how long the Tang State could last, so they didn't care if they were knighted or not.

Now the situation is a little different, the Tang Kingdom is thriving, and even the Yan Kingdom dares to fight, seeing that the country is stable, it is naturally time to consider some things.

As a courtier, the system of taking the initiative to mention the title is not very good-looking, but now that Wen Yi takes the initiative to mention it, it seems that the monarch and the minister are compatible.

Although Wenyi did not directly implement the title system, he also gave a clear statement. When the national strength is stronger, the more land occupied will be sealed.

Don't be afraid that you won't live to that time, start to remember merit from now on, and when the person is no longer there, you can also chase the title with the merit book.

Your own children and grandchildren will also benefit.

With a clearer goal, everyone is more motivated.
