Chapter 130: Too capable, must promote a flatterer to ruin the country
The more than 10,000 maps were sold out in less than half a day.
This also surprised Liu Wenzhuo.
However, Liu Wenzhuo was still very happy because the new newspaper had brought in a large amount of income.
On the other side, Rand finally received the imperial edict.
Good fellow! Transformed into counties!
Your Majesty is truly courageous!
He actually annexed Dai Viet in one go!
Rand then listened to the imperial edict.
When he heard that the emperor decided to divide the land in Daiyue and confer titles of nobility, Rand felt dizzy.
Can I own a territory in Dai Viet?
Inherited from generation to generation?
And have absolute rule over this land?
All we need to do is to pledge our loyalty to the Great Zhou?
This is such a great honor!
The court messenger said that Rand could also recommend ten candidates, who could also be appointed as marquises when Dai Viet divided the land.
Everyone looked towards Rand eagerly.
This is to divide the land and become a marquis!
Although he was granted the title in Dai Viet, he is still a real noble!
After receiving the order, Rand immediately began to think.
The first was Lu Weibin, the Shennan Transport Commissioner. Although he was a civil servant, he was in charge of all military logistics.
Artillery was also taught by Lu Weibin.
Of course he deserves the credit.
Tang Yan also contributed Jinna ointment to protect the soldiers from malaria.
Of course, the entire army is convinced by these two places.
Lu Weibin taught the soldiers to read and do arithmetic.
He also worked hard in logistics work, and everyone was impressed by him.
Tang Yan provided maps and ships, and also contributed the magical medicine Jinna Paste, and of course no one objected.
That leaves eight spots left.
Rand simply arranged the candidates according to their military merits and decided on the remaining candidates.
Now everyone was convinced.
Of course, the person who was granted the title of marquis was ecstatic.
Those who were not granted the title of nobility don’t need to be angry. As long as you work hard next time, you will have a chance if you follow Rand!
According to Li Tian's decree, Rand was conferred the title of first-class marquis and owned three prefectures in the Great Zhou.
The rest are of the second rank, and they can have a prefecture.
They can choose the place themselves.
In the Dai Viet War, there appeared eleven marquises who inherited the title from generation to generation.
The morale of the people of the Great Zhou was of course high.
The Dai Viet people were all dejected.
The King of Dai Yue and all his officials were taken on board and sent to Kyoto for imprisonment.
All weapons of the Dai Viet army were confiscated and ordinary soldiers were sent back to their hometowns.
Dai Viet was destroyed!
Many Dai Viet people wept bitterly.
But now the Dai Viet people have no will to resist.
The artillery fire from the Great Zhou that blew down the city walls seemed like divine punishment from heaven.
In the hearts of the people of Dai Viet, the Great Zhou is already invincible!
Immediately afterwards, First-Class Hou Lande personally met Queen Mother Zheng of Gao Cambodia.
The young Queen Mother Zheng requested to go to Kyoto in person to pay a visit to the Emperor of Zhou to show her respect!
Queen Mother Zheng even suggested that the young King of Cao Cambodia go to Kyoto to study!
Of course, Rand didn't dare to make his own decisions on such matters.
He reported the matter to the court and waited for its reply.
The chaotic Nan'an Peninsula finally settled down.
At this time, Li Tian did not know that the territory of the Great Zhou under his rule had already far exceeded that of the Taizu period.
From Mobei to Dai Viet, these are all newly conquered territories.
Japan and Goryeo surrendered, and Cambodia also surrendered completely.
Nanyang surrendered and occupied the colonial ports invaded by the Dutch.
Such a huge empire is gradually expanding.
At this time, Li Tian was having a headache about who to send to govern Dai Viet!
There are still too few treacherous people in the court!
I don't have enough talented people under my command!
Many young officials submitted petitions hoping to go to Dai Viet.
But Li Tian was worried about them!
The Ministry of Revenue divided Dai Viet into three prefectures and twelve counties.
To fill it, a large number of officials are needed.
What a worry!
How on earth should I do this?
Where are the treacherous ministers in my hands?
Li Tian suddenly remembered a name!
Liu Wenzhuo!
Liu Wenzhuo did a good job with the new newspaper.
Because the new court report was funded by the money allocated by Li Tian from the inner treasury, all the income naturally went into the inner treasury.
Liu Wenzhuo has made a lot of money these days.
The manuscript in the new official newspaper was indeed the same as what Li Tian had instructed.
They are all articles praising one's merits.
Liu Wenzhuo's writing style is also very good, and Li Tian feels refreshed after reading every article.
This kid is a good candidate for being a treacherous villain!
At least when it comes to flattery, Liu Wenzhuo is the best around Li Tian!
If this kind of guy is allowed to govern a place, he will definitely not cause any trouble!
Li Tian said to Xiao Weizi: "Summon Liu Wenzhuo to an audience!"
"I obey your Majesty!"
Liu Wenzhuo was preparing a new report at this time and soon came to Li Tian.
"Lord Liu, you know everything about Dayue, right?"
"The official knows."
"I will divide Dai Viet into counties and establish three prefectures and twelve counties."
Liu Wenzhuo was shocked. Why would His Majesty talk to a minor official like him about such an important matter of the court?
Li Tian looked at Liu Wenzhuo and said, "I want to appoint you as the prefect of a prefecture. What do you think?"
This time Liu Wenzhuo was completely stunned.
Although the official positions in the Hanlin Academy are noble, His Majesty Li Tian is not very close to them.
Li Tian, on the contrary, pays more attention to practical matters.
Those who have achieved real results in the local area are promoted quickly.
For example, the current Shennan Transport Director is Lu Weibin, who is a Jinshi in the same list as Liu Wenzhuo.
Now Lu Weibin has reached the fifth rank.
However, Liu Wenzhuo was still a sixth-rank scholar in the Hanlin Academy.
Liu Wenzhuo is considered to be quite fast among his colleagues, thanks to his achievements in organizing the new official newspaper.
The prefect of a prefecture is an official of the sixth rank.
Liu Wenzhuo swallowed and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to go!"
Li Tian nodded with satisfaction, patted Liu Wenzhuo on the shoulder and said:
"Dai Yue has surrendered. Now we need to educate them quietly. Don't make a big noise. Do you understand?"
Li Tian was still a little worried and reminded Liu Wenzhuo.
Liu Wenzhuo immediately said: "As you command, Your Majesty!"
A disastrous month has finally come to an end.
This month has been another busy month.
[This month's national fortune is being settled! 】
[National fortune value at the beginning of this month: 6 points!
[National fortune value at the end of this month: 7 points! ]
[Projects to be settled: Beijing-Luzhou Railway, stabilize Dai Viet! ]
[Tip: The national fortune has not declined this month, and the "Record of Destruction" cannot be upgraded! ]
In the blink of an eye, May has finally arrived.
The temperature in Kyoto gradually grew hotter after Rand's memorial requesting merit was submitted.
Only then did Li Tian understand the role played by Lu Weibin and his brother-in-law in the Vietnam War.
Li Tian gritted his teeth in hatred!
It’s okay for this guy Lu Weibin, logistical support is his job.
My uncle shouldn’t do that!
This time, backstabbing Tang Yan also contributed a huge amount of strength!
Whether it was providing maps, transporting soldiers, or contributing the gold paste brought back from Southeast Asia.
These are all good things done by Tang Yan!
You kid!
Li Tian was completely furious this time!
You're not doing your job and are just causing trouble for me, right?
Li Tian immediately issued an order, asking Tang Yan to leave Dai Viet as soon as possible and explore other areas!
There is also the dangerous element Lu Weibin!
