After Qin Shihuang returned to the Imperial Palace, his expression was still incomparably excited. He had not completely recovered from the scene just now.
"Haha, Lin Hao is really a genius!”
"The yield of these sweet potatoes is really 60 dan per mu. With this, Great Qin's food problem will be completely solved!”
Qin Shihuang's face was flushed red, and he was extremely excited.
Great Qin's food crisis had always been a rock in his heart, and now that this rock could finally fall, how could he not be happy?
"Father, how can we not reward Lin Hao for his great contribution?”
Fu Su was also very excited as he cupped his hands and said.
Wang Ben, who was standing beside him, also agreed with him,
"Your Majesty, this sweet potato can ensure the prosperity of our Great Qin for thousands of years. Lin Hao has made such an illustrious contribution. If we don't reward him, won't we chill the hearts of the world's talented people?”
Qin Shi Huang sneered, raised his hand, and said firmly,"
"How do you know I won't reward you?"
"Zhen not only wants to reward him with the title of Marquis Dingguo of 1000 dan, but also a golden token!”
"This token has the same status as a high official. Other than me, you can see officials without kneeling and enter the palace without any obstacles!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he was shocked by Fu Su and Wang Ben!
One thousand dan of the title of Marquis Dingguo!
There was also a golden token that was equivalent to a minister!
This reward was too generous!
If the title of Marquis Dingguo was not ordinary and was a 1st Rank Marquis of Great Qin, he would have a lot of power.
As for the golden token of a minister, it was even rarer.
Now, Qin Shihuang had given these two rewards to Lin Hao alone.
This was the greatest favor in Great Qin!
……
The next day, Qin Shi Huang sent a team of guards to Lin Hao's residence to announce the rewards.
"Young Master, there is a eunuch at the door. He said that he is here to deliver the imperial edict on behalf of the Emperor.”
When Ergou saw the eunuch at the entrance of the Lin Manor, he quickly reported to Lin Hao.
"Let them in."
Lin Hao was stunned for a moment before he immediately understood that Qin Shihuang had sent him a reward.
Soon, the eunuch walked into the Lin Manor majestically.
This guard of honor was grand and majestic. The dragon flag opened the way. The leader was an affable eunuch.
Behind the eunuch were more than ten sedan bearers. They were laboriously carrying dozens of boxes, which were all gifts from Emperor Qin.
In addition to the sedan bearers, there were also a dozen imperial guards who were holding onto their weapons.
After the eunuch entered the Lin Manor, he swept his gaze across the area and asked in a spy's voice,"
"May I ask who Lin Hao is?"
He was Qin Shihuang's subordinate, and he carried a faint sense of pride.
"I am."
Lin Hao walked out of the crowd with an imposing manner and strode forward.
"Yes, you're indeed a good-looking talent. You're known as a talented person who doesn't ruin the country!”
The eunuch looked at Lin Hao and nodded his head in approval with a hint of flattery. Then, he raised his voice and shouted,
"Lin Hao, accept the decree!"
When Lin Hao heard this, he cupped his hands and bowed to receive the edict.
The eunuch's eyes narrowed and his eyelids twitched. This person didn't even kneel when receiving the imperial edict.
He didn't expect that this person in front of him would make great contributions and would soon rise to fame, so he didn't care much.
Then, he took out the imperial edict from his sleeve and read it aloud,
" The system says: Pei County's Lin Heng, although hidden in the city, sealed a city in a day, perfectly resolved the plague in half a month, and saved hundreds of thousands of people. His contributions can be said to be glorious in history!”
"After that, he took the initiative to offer sweet potatoes to the Imperial Court and solved Great Qin's food problem.”
"His contributions have stabilized the Great Qin Empire and created the foundation of the Great Qin Empire!”
"Special bestowment: First-class Marquis Dingguo! A salary of 1,000 dan! Ten boxes of gold, silver, and jewelry!"
"A golden token of the same rank as the minister! This token allowed him to see the officials without kneeling and unimpeded!”
"Respect this!"
The eunuch was obviously experienced. He finished reading the imperial edict in one breath without even panting.
Lin Hao listened to the eunuch recite a long paragraph and felt a little confused.
However, Lin Hao remembered two sentences very clearly. Qin Shihuang conferred him the title of Marquis Dingguo and gave him a golden token.
This marquis was not an empty title, but a first-class marquis with great authority.
Moreover, there was also a golden token that did not kneel in front of an official and had the same status as an official. Lin Hao was a little excited when he thought of this.
Although he had previously rejected Qin Shihuang's invitation to be an official, this was a noble title that he was awarded. Lin Hao would not reject it.
"Lord Marquis, hurry up and receive the edict to express your gratitude!”
The eunuch saw that Lin Hao was still stunned after he finished reading the imperial edict and hurriedly reminded him.
"I accept your decree. Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Lin Hao immediately came to his senses and bowed to receive the order.
"This family congratulates the Marquis Dingguo first. His Majesty's favor towards the Marquis Dingguo is like a mountain. In the future, he will definitely be able to have a prosperous official career and soar!”
The eunuch nodded and put away the imperial edict in his hand. He chuckled and said a bunch of pleasant words to Lin Hao.
Lin Hao was smart and immediately understood that the eunuch was asking him for money.
He smiled and took out a few gold ingots from his bosom. He quietly stuffed them into the eunuch's hand and said with a smile,"
"Eunuch, you have worked hard to come all the way here to announce the decree. I have prepared a small gift for you.”
"No, no, Lord Marquis is too serious.”
The eunuch looked upright on the surface, but he kept the gold ingot in his hand without batting an eyelid. He looked at Lin Hao and nodded his head in approval.
