"My ministers, look! What kind of barren land is North Sea County? Three years ago, the military expenses of North Sea County required a portion from Luoyi, but now?
In less than four years, North Sea County has transformed into a top-tier Upper County!"
With that, Ren Venerate Emperor Ji Long suddenly stood up from behind the imperial desk, waving his hand and shouting, "Great achievement!
This is a great achievement!
I must reward Minister Ye heavily!"
"For such a great achievement, not rewarding it would fail to console my heart. I have decided to promote Minister Ye's title from third-class Earl of North Sea by one rank, elevating to second-class North Sea..."
At this moment, Chief Eunuch Yu Chao'en lightly coughed and softly reminded, "Your Majesty, according to ancestral law, titles cannot be granted or promoted without military merit."
Yu Chao'en's voice was light, yet it reached all the courtiers gathered in the hall.
