Inside the Governor’s Office, the atmosphere was growing even more lively.
Everyone’s face was glowing with joy. Those who had received noble titles exchanged happy glances, while those still waiting were filled with hope.
Xiao Ming’s eyes swept over the crowd.
To him, titles were just names. But to these officers—many of whom were born as commoners—they meant the world. Titles represented honor, and silver and farmland represented wealth.
By granting them such generous rewards, Xiao Ming ensured these commanders would live comfortably and become harder to bribe or turn against him.
And for Xiao Ming, the cost was minimal. The six prefectures had plenty of land and not enough people. Giving out farmland actually helped boost agriculture.
After finishing the military rewards, Xiao Ming turned to Pang Yukun.
“Secretary Pang, you’ve been with me the longest. You’re like my own Xiao He. You’ve handled all the logistics and government work personally. Today, I’m giving you the title of Regional Earl.”
“Your Highness… this…” Pang Yukun was shocked.
He had never included himself when they discussed reward plans. He didn’t expect Xiao Ming had kept him in mind.
