He had finally raised the loyalty of Jiang Yao and the commander of the guards beside him to over 100.
He was relieved.
These two people were loyal to begin with, and their abilities were outstanding.
After training for a while, Jiang Yao's literary skills had increased to 95 points.
In those games, this would already be considered an S-class general.
Che Lu's martial arts had always been above 70 and could be of great use.
With a little training, it would definitely grow again.
It was also unexpected that he made Che Lu a minister.
However, Che Lu was of course a noble, so he had the qualifications to be a minister.
A lower official was the lowest rank of nobility, and there were also middle and high officials.
Generally speaking, the titles of nobility in the great countries were personally conferred by the emperor.
As for the nobility of a small country, the monarch could make the decision himself.
This was why Uncle Zang Xuan of the State of Lu once said,"
"The minister of the second country is the middle of the big country, the middle is the lower, and the lower is the upper doctor.”
"The superior minister of a small country should be the inferior minister of a large country, the middle minister should be the superior doctor, and the inferior minister should be the inferior doctor.”
"The upper and lower levels are like this. This is the ancient system."
What he meant was,
The position of a minister of a secondary country was equivalent to that of a minister of a major country.
The position of a Middle Official was equivalent to that of a Great Country's Lower Official.
The last one was the lower official, which was equivalent to the upper doctor of a big country.
Small countries were even worse off.
A high official was equivalent to a great country's low official, a middle official was equivalent to a great country's high doctor, and a low official was a great country's low doctor.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, the titles of nobility were divided into Shangqing, Zhongqing, and Xiaqing.
After that, there were also upper doctors, middle doctors and lower doctors.
The Chen Nation was undoubtedly a small country.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have had no money to fight and would not have been bullied by the Nanman.
After rewarding Jiang Yao and Che Lu, Chen Wei said,
"Great General Ying Xiao, meritorious in the war. He defended the border against the invasion of the Southern Yue people dozens of times.”
"I want to confer him the title of High Official, hereditary! He was also rewarded with silk, jade, and gold, a total of 100,000 taels!”
Although Ying Xiao was a great general, his title was a minister of the Chen Country.
With his ability, he was still unable to fight against Cai, Zuo, Peng, and Cao.
That was why there were so many spies from the Four Preeminent Families in Ying Xiao's army.
Now that he had the title of High Official, he was also an overlord in the Chen Kingdom and had some say.
Even when facing the officials of the court again, he had full confidence.
At the same time, Ying Xiao also had the power to manage the military affairs. No one dared to challenge him like Cai Tao.
When the officials heard this, they bowed to Chen Wei.
"Chen Jun is wise!"
Chen Wei waved his sleeves, and the manservant leading the horse took the reins and left the execution ground.
As for the pitiful Da Sima and Sikong One, they were just here to do nothing.
Peng Jie and Zuo Han looked at each other.
A hint of helplessness and jealousy appeared in their eyes.
He didn't expect that this sixteen-year-old little monarch would actually have such a deep shrewdness.
He was able to use Cao Jing's desire for power to punish the Cai clan and even take the opportunity to destroy Cai Wu's entire clan.
Amazing, amazing.
As for Jiang Yao and Cao Jing,
Cao Jing seemed to have been promoted. He had great power and was in charge of taxes.
History was like this. Those who helped the country manage money were always powerful officials.
Jiang Yao took up Cao Jing's position, holding the position of Minister of Justice and Minister of Justice.
It looked like he was replacing Cao Jing, but in fact, Chen Wei gave Jiang Yao more power.
With Jiang Yao's intelligence, he certainly understood the key to this.
This time, he was promoted secretly, and his power was more than twice as great as before.
A prime minister and a chief official, they looked like small officials, but there were many paths in them.
……
Very soon,
Chen Wei returned to the king's residence.
The money, silk, and utensils sent from the Cai Clan were piled up like a small mountain.
"Congratulations, Chen Jun. With this money, we will have the strength to repay the debt of the State of Yue.”
Yu Ji's gentle voice sounded in Chen Wei's ears again.
Previously on the execution ground, she had personally seen Chen Wei execute Cai Wu and Cai Tao with two arrows.
Not only was she not afraid, but she also admired her husband.
This was the ability and bearing that a ruler should have.
Chen Wei smiled but shook his head."The King of Yue once gave me a year's time limit. Now that the time limit is not up, why are you still in a hurry to return the money?”
"Then, Chen Jun, do you plan to…" Yu Ji was stunned.
"I have a great use for it."
Five hundred thousand taels!
It was impossible to pay back the money, not even in this lifetime.
Between countries, it was like children playing around.
Wasn't it just for that seemingly small matter, but it was a major matter that concerned the interests of the country?
Excluding the 100,000 taels he had given Ying Xiao,
The remaining 2,900,000 taels would be the capital for Chen Wei to strengthen his country!
He wanted to keep it for the production of cement and glass, as well as the cost of mining iron ore in the future.
Winter is almost over,
Next spring, Chen Wei was going to show off his skills!
……
Time flew like an arrow.
in the blink of an eye
The end of the year was approaching.
However, a piece of bad news reached the Chen Kingdom.
The State of Wu, located in the northern part of the State of Chen, was in turmoil. General Di Shang supported the younger brother of the King of Wu, Crown Prince Yu, to seize power.
Crown Prince Yu was already in his thirties. His body was weak and he was powerless.
Who would have thought that he would become Di Shang's puppet?
Not long after, Di Shang launched a mutiny in the capital of the State of Wu. In the midst of the crisis, the King of Wu sent an envoy to the State of Chen for help.
……
On this day, in the middle of winter,
A fast horse swept across the plains!
Horses gallop in a hurry,
In this era, there were no stirrups, so when the cavalrymen rode horses, they could not free their hands.
To be honest, it was really tiring.
Otherwise, why would the stirrups be the greatest invention in history?
Shang Zixun,
The envoy of the Wu Kingdom was a high-ranking official of the Wu Kingdom. Due to the pressing time, who would have thought that he would personally go out?
The horse rushed into the border of the Chen Kingdom and headed straight for the capital.
At this moment, Chen Wei was soaking in a specially made large wooden bucket and bathing with Yu Ji.
