The next morning at court, Lin Caogen suddenly appeared, and all the civil and military officials came to pay homage!
After more than a year of development, Bright City has become the largest city in the Central Plains, and even the largest city in the world!
The city has a population of nearly ten million, and one-fifth of the population of the entire Central Plains is concentrated in Bright City!
The land surrounding Bright City was fertile for thousands of miles, and that autumn brought a bumper harvest! In order to solve the food problem of the people, Lin Caogen had specially planted potatoes brought back from the Immortal Continent in the homes of the people around Bright City!
This type of potato reproduces extremely quickly; it can take root and sprout in seven days and bear fruit and mature in a month!
A single potato sprout planted in the ground can grow into dozens of new potatoes in a month, and those new potatoes can then be used to grow dozens more potato sprouts!
So in just six months, hundreds of millions of kilograms of potatoes were produced around the entire city of Guangming, and the local people could grow them in flower pots and yards at home!
These potatoes from the Immortal Continent are not only rich in nutrients, but they also produce a faint immortal essence. Eating them can prolong life and enhance physical fitness!
There are now 300,000 troops in Bright City, and these 300,000 troops worship Lin Caogen as a god!
These people are not only loyal, but also extremely powerful. Each soldier can now basically take on a hundred men. After all, the surrounding armies have long suffered from malnutrition. Let alone combat power, it is a problem for them to even maintain normal physical activity!
Kublai Khan, the former Khan of the steppes, arrived at the Hall of Light and knelt before Lin Caogen, saying, "Your sinful subject Kublai Khan pays respects to His Majesty the Emperor of Light!"
Lin Caogen looked at Kublai Khan and felt that he did look somewhat like Genghis Khan as recorded in history books!
"Get up!"
Lin Caogen's authoritative voice rang out, and Kublai Khan trembled all over, too nervous to look Lin Caogen in the eye!
"Kublai Khan! As the saying goes, a wise man submits to circumstances! What are your thoughts on your arrival in my City of Light?"
Kublai Khan sighed and said, "This humble subject has truly seen the light! Bright City is thriving, its people are prosperous, every household has surplus grain, its merchants are thriving, and its goods are dazzling! Although Bright City has no city walls, the people are all strong and healthy, and even the militia are stronger than this humble subject's imperial guards. What's more, Your Majesty has an army of 300,000, each soldier like a tiger or wolf, and a hundred or so ordinary soldiers cannot even get close to them! With Your Majesty's divine might, leading such an army, you will surely be invincible!"
Lin Caogen nodded and said, "That's right! You only know the tip of the iceberg of my methods! Since you have come to surrender, I will grant your request! I hereby appoint you as the King of Zhennan. From today onwards, you will streamline your administration and leave 200,000 troops for me to reform. In the future, you will lead these 200,000 troops to conquer the world for me and subdue the southern kingdoms. How about that?"
Kublai Khan was overjoyed and said, "This humble subject thanks Your Majesty for your grace!"
Then Lin Caogen looked at Zhu Chongba and said, "Zhu Chongba, listen to my decree! I hereby appoint you as the Prince of Zhenxi. From this day forward, you shall lead 200,000 troops to conquer the west! You shall pacify all 30-plus kingdoms in the west for me!"
Zhu Chongba was overjoyed and knelt down, saying, "Your humble servant accepts the imperial decree!"
Lin Caogen then looked at the Left Chancellor, Kublai Khan, and said, "Left Chancellor! I order you to lead 50,000 elite troops to assist the Huashan Sect in unifying the martial arts world! Can you handle this matter?"
Kublai Khan knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured! Entrust this matter to your humble servant! I will certainly not fail Your Majesty's grace!"
Lin Caogen said, "Very well! After this matter is settled, I will appoint you as the Prince of Zhenbei!"
Kublai Khan was overjoyed and immediately kowtowed!
Lin Caogen then looked at Xu Da, the commander of the Imperial Guards, and said, "Xu Da! Now that all 300,000 troops in Guangming City have been deployed, only 50,000 remain! You will leave 30,000 to be responsible for the city's security! I hereby appoint you as the First-Rank Commander of the Imperial Guards!"
Xu Da knelt down and said, "Thank you for your imperial grace, Your Majesty!"
Lin Caogen then looked at Liu Bowen and said, "Bowen, I hereby appoint you as the President of the National Academy of Sciences and the King of Creation! From this day forward, select those with quick wit and talent to specialize in scientific research! I will also assign you ten thousand personal guards!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Bowen was overjoyed!
After all, he had become a prince and had 10,000 personal guards, which was quite impressive!
Lin Caogen added: "King of Creation! As a prince, your duty is to develop science and use scientific methods to create things! You must not fail my trust!"
Liu Bowen was moved to tears and knelt down to express his gratitude!
Lin Caogen kept 10,000 soldiers for himself, intending to develop them into the Embroidered Uniform Guard and send them around the world as his eyes and ears!
He then looked at Li Shanchang and said, "Right Chancellor, effective immediately, I hereby bestow upon you the title of Prince of Zhendong! However, there are currently no troops to assign to you! You shall recruit 200,000 soldiers yourself, and let the Empress train them for you!"
Li Shan was overjoyed!
I never imagined I would become a prince!
Although we currently have no soldiers under our command, His Majesty has said that we can recruit them ourselves, which is great news!
Li Shanchang immediately knelt down to express his gratitude!
Lin Caogen then asked, "My esteemed ministers, do you have any other matters to report today?"
At this moment, Kublai Khan knelt down and said, "Your Majesty! This humble subject has come to Bright City to pay homage to Your Majesty, bringing with him the beautiful Ulansuna as a gift!"
Lin Caogen said calmly, "Bring it up!"
Then, Ulan Suna slowly walked into the court!
Lin Caogen carefully examined the grassland beauty and felt that she had a unique exotic charm!
He said calmly, "Ulansuna, heed my decree!"
Inside the main hall, Ulan Suna knelt down and said, "This sinful subject obeys the decree!"
"Effective immediately, Ulan Suna is hereby appointed Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard! I entrust you with the training of ten thousand soldiers, who will be responsible for global information feedback. The Embroidered Uniform Guard holds the power of life and death; they can execute princes and slay bandits!"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the court was shocked!
Ulan Suna was overjoyed; she never expected Lin Caogen to value her so highly!
