A moment later, Yaoyao helped Lin Beifan rub his swollen hand while He Shen continued to report.
"Your Majesty, an earthquake didn't hurt us at all, but we found so many ores. Do you know what this means?" He Shen said seriously.”
"What does this mean?”Lin Beifan's expression turned serious.
" This means…" He Shen said enthusiastically,""Your Majesty, you're the true son of heaven's mandate. That's why you've turned misfortune into good fortune! Long live Your Majesty!"
Lin Beifan couldn't hold it in anymore and laughed proudly."Beloved minister, you're right. I'm the chosen one, that's why I'm blessed by the heavens! I am indeed the most beloved child of the heavens, haha!”
It was too exciting!
Yaoyao was so angry that she grabbed Lin Beifan and took another bite.
"Ah, it hurts, it hurts…"
He Shen coughed again and turned his head away.
After a while, Yaoyao continued to massage Lin Beifan's swollen hand.
Lin Beifan placed his other hand on He Shen's shoulder and said with relief,""Beloved minister, it has been hard on you these days. Your efforts will not be in vain. Zhen will remember it!”
He Shen was overjoyed.”
He had been working so hard all this while, wasn't it all for this?
His meteoric rise was just around the corner!
On the morning of the second day, it was time for the rewards.
In front of the court, Lin Beifan announced,""He Shen and my beloved minister, come forward and listen to the conferment!”
"Your subject is here!" He Shen stood up happily.
"During this period of time, Minister He has taken the lead in cracking down on speculation and profiteering. He has appeased the people during the country's chaos, allowing the country to operate normally. Your loyalty and bravery are commendable, and your ability is outstanding.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" He Shen said loudly.
"Minister He, you will be in charge of the Ministry of Revenue from now on! We still have a large amount of wasteland. Quickly organize people to excavate and cultivate the fields. Use all the land so that everyone can have food to eat!”
"In addition, due to the lack of manpower in the Ministry of Works, those mineral resources will be temporarily handed over to you to manage. Quickly organize the manpower and make use of all these resources. Don't waste them!”
"Whether it's food or money, Zhen will fully support you!”
"In short, we have to do our best to recover our economy as soon as possible!”
He Shen felt a heavy responsibility, and at the same time, he felt Lin Beifan's full trust in him. There was only a chance to perform when there was a mission!
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I will do my best until I die!”He Shen bowed and left.
"An Lushan, step forward and accept the conferment!"
"Your subject is here!" An Lushan walked up with his head held high.
"Recently, Minister An has led the army north and defeated the Mo Kingdom's army for the second time. Your ability is outstanding and your contribution is huge. Therefore, I hereby confer you the title of Country Defending General and command 200,000 troops.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" An Lushan was overjoyed.
The Defender General was already a second-rank official of the imperial court. He was the second-ranked person among the five military officials.
The number one person was General Chai Yulang, but he had been dismissed from his post, so he could be considered the number one person among the generals.
Moreover, he had 200,000 soldiers and was in a high position.
"Minister An, I have a mission! Because the Ministry of War is lacking manpower, I can only give this task to you!”
"Your Majesty, please speak!" An Lushan looked serious.
"The mission I gave you is to increase the number of troops!”Lin Beifan sighed." We've defeated the Desert Country twice in this period of time!" However, they had too few troops, so they could not defend the territory they had opened up. They could only give up! The past was a lesson for the future! Therefore, we must recruit soldiers to strengthen our military strength!”
"Your Majesty is right!" An Lushan nodded in agreement.""Your Majesty, how many more troops should we send?"
"Let's increase it by 300,000 first!" Lin Beifan said.
"Your Majesty, isn't 300,000 too much?" An Lushan was shocked. Our country only has a total population of 3 million, but we already have 300,000 soldiers. The national treasury is barely able to support them! If we recruit another 300,000, I'm afraid…"
"Don't worry, our country has sufficient food and money now. We can completely support an army of 600,000!”"The only thing you need to do now is to recruit soldiers. Recruit elite soldiers!" Lin Beifan laughed.”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" An Lushan received the edict.
Since His Majesty had said so, he would do as he pleased.
Next, Lin Beifan continued to admire the performance.
Anyone who had outstanding performance during this period of time would be promoted.
As for those people who had nothing to do, they were all kicked out.
As a result, the entire imperial court looked brand new.
However, after taking a look at the Imperial Court, Lin Beifan still felt that there were too few people he could use.
After all, with the Empire's sandbox, he would definitely need to expand and need a large number of talents for his use.
However, he was only a small country now, and he was also cursed for being incompetent. Who would be willing to join him?
At this moment, Lin Beifan thought of the Prime Minister and the Great General. Not only were they capable, but they were also loyal.
"Should we call them back?"
The moment this thought arose, it was extinguished by him.
"It's not time yet! They're good, but their governing philosophy conflicts with mine. Recruiting them now is not conducive to the development of the country! When the time is right, we'll talk about it again!"
