My bad words were heard by all the civil and military officials in the court

When Ye Shengxin had filled his stomach, Emperor Jingming spoke at the right time, his face was full of joy and his tone was quite cheerful:

"There's good news from the border. Luoshan is indeed a promising military commander that Duanzhuang values. The several great victories that have been reported over the past half month are all due to Luoshan's efforts."

"Two days ago, he led a thousand men out of the camp and captured the chief military advisor and his two sons alive at Hong Gulu Mountain. He also beheaded two thousand enemy soldiers and burned their small Holy Heaven altar. If nothing unexpected happens, this war will be over before the end of the year."

Ye Xingxin's eyes sparkled when he heard this, "Is Luo Shan so powerful?"

[If he trains for a few more days, his achievements might surpass those of General Huo Qubing.]

Emperor Jingming knew who Huo Qubing, the young hero who made people sigh and lament, and the military generals of the Zhou Dynasty and the literate people in the society also knew who he was.

The stories spread by Ye Xingxin include not only the heroic deeds of Huo Qubing, the wisdom and bravery of Qin Shihuang, the great talent and strategy of Emperor Wu of Han, but also the legendary life of Empress Wu Zetian.

These people refreshed the horizons of the important civil and military officials and talented men and beautiful women of the Great Zhou Dynasty time and time again, and amazed them again and again, resulting in that every time the author of "I Want to Be Rich Slowly" published a book, the novels on the market would be sold out immediately.

Now Ye Shengxin is busy with disaster relief work, so his side business of storytelling has been put on hold temporarily.

Such "negligent" behavior resulted in boxes of letters from all over the Great Zhou urging for manuscripts being placed in the bookstore owner's hands, just waiting for her to go back and open them to feel the enthusiasm from the readers.

The system exclaimed: [Perhaps Cui Luoshan is the Huo Qubing of this world. ]

The system's words came true. The achievements that Emperor Jingming gave to Ye Shengxin today were only the beginning of Cui Luoshan's journey to become the God of War.

After Ye Shengxin had settled and reorganized the people of Nanping City, and had smoothly killed more than 500 unruly people who had been bullying men and women in the local area, refusing to cooperate with her disaster relief work, and even trying to make trouble, she was preparing to get on the carriage back to Beijing to spend the New Year with her grandmother.

News about the great victory at Cuiluoshan came again.

Cui Luoshan led 10,000 soldiers into the heartland of the Hu tribe. Taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the elders and nobles of the Hu tribe, he captured nearly a thousand people at night, killed 3,000 elite soldiers of the Hu tribe, and hung the head of the Hu tribe leader outside the tent for public display, thus completely controlling the overall situation of the Hu tribe.

Afterwards, the Great Zhou Heaven Worship Ceremony was held at the statue of the Earth Mother Goddess on the sacred mountain of the Hu people.

After General Zhao led 200,000 troops into the heartland of the Hu people and took over the territory, Cui Luoshan requested another 5,000 troops to pursue the fugitives.

During the pursuit, all the remnants of the Hu tribe were captured in just five days, and they even launched a surprise attack on the Mu'erwu tribe who tried to hide the Hu people, thus laying a second territory for the Great Zhou.

Just half a month after the New Year, when the imperial court had some time to spare, it launched a large-scale rewarding ceremony for such achievements.

Ye Xingxin was promoted to the second-rank Jingzhao Yin for his contributions in disaster relief.

Cui Luoshan was promoted from a thousand households to a fourth-rank general of Changsheng, then to a second-rank marquis of Changsheng, and finally to a first-rank marquis of Pingguo.

Rong Anle was promoted to the second-rank general for his meritorious service in leading troops to kill the enemy.

Rong Ping did not ask for a reward for himself, but instead obtained the title of First-Rank Lady for his wife.

The same is true for General Zhao Zhentian.

For people like them who have no other titles to offer, the smartest and best choice is to give the honor to their wives.

At the beginning of spring, General Zhao Zhentian led 100,000 troops back to Beijing, and the people of Beijing lined the streets to welcome him.

All civil and military officials held a three-day banquet in the Chaotian Hall for General Zhao and Pingguo Hou Cui Luoshan, who was stationed outside and unable to return to the capital.

After the banquet, the prince issued an order that the taxes paid by the people of the Great Zhou would be reduced by 10% for the next three years. When the news came out, the whole country was jubilant.

Emperor Jingming pulled his beard and looked worried.

This unfortunate child, if the taxes are exempted, how will the Great Zhou Dynasty resettle the three million people left over from the war between the Hu and Muerwu tribes?

You have to know that during the past six months of war, not only had all the silver and money he sent back been consumed, but the silver and money in the Great Zhou treasury was also running out.

Emperor Jingming was so worried that he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. Finally, he returned to the palace, grabbed his own son's ear, and asked him in a deep voice how he planned to deal with the next difficulties.
