At the same time, after all, the country has been founded, so it is natural to have great heroes. In this regard, Lin Hao has never been shy about giving rewards and rewards based on merit. Those who followed Lin Hao earlier also received rewards.

Lin Hao also made appropriate adjustments to the original titles of the Song Dynasty, reducing the number of hereditary titles.

However, there are only a few people who can get the title of nobility from Lin Hao. After all, there was no big war when taking over the Song Dynasty, so there are naturally fewer people who can get the title!

However, Lin Hao also promised these generals, and if he wanted to obtain the title, he had to wait until the war with the Liao Kingdom and go to the battlefield to obtain it!

Later, Lin Hao also adjusted the levels of concubines in the harem, roughly referencing the levels of concubines in the Tang Dynasty.

As the emperor's only wife, the empress Minglan, like Lin Hao, has no rank. Of course, she can also be classified as a super rank.

Under the queen are the first-class noble concubines, whose titles are Xian, Hui, Shu, De, Jing, Ning, Hua, Zhuang, and Yi!

Currently, only four imperial concubines have been named. Wei Yun'er was named the Xian Concubine, Rong Shuangyue was named the Hua Concubine, Yu Yanran was named the Shu Concubine, and Ru Lan was named the Ning Concubine.

Next is the second-grade concubine, with the titles Shu, Jing, Li, Yi, Chun, Xian, Ying, Zhen, and Zhen!

For Rong Shuangyue's sake, Lin Hao gave Rong Feiyan a chaste concubine, while Xiaodie, who had been following Lin Hao, was named Concubine Xian, and Pinlan, the eldest daughter of the Sheng family, was named Concubine Li.

The most surprising thing is the sweet and sour Sheng Shulan. She was named the Concubine Zhen by Lin Hao. There was no other way, who made her face so attractive!

The title of the ninth concubine of the third rank is the same as that of the Tang Dynasty:

Zhaoyi, Zhaorong, Zhaoyuan, Xiuyi, Xiurong, Xiuyuan, Chongyi, Chongrong, Chongyuan!

And Minglan's personal maid Danju was named Zhaoyi, and Xiaotao was named Zhaorong. There was no way, who kept these two girls so close, Minglan often pulled her into the room to confront Lin Hao!

Under Minglan's instigation, Mo Lan was granted the title of Chongyuan. On the one hand, it was because of Minglan's request, and on the other hand, Mo Lan was really good-looking. As a member of the Yan Party, Lin Hao was naturally forced to accept it.

Originally, Minglan wanted Lin Hao to give Mo Lan a lower rank, but Lin Hao thought that it was too much, so he asked Mo Lan to be the lowest rank among the nine concubines.

What follows is exactly the same as the Tang Dynasty Harem:

The fourth grade, Jieyu!

Positive fifth grade, beauty!

The sixth grade, a talented person!

These three levels have no titles, and the number of them is nine. Together, they are collectively called the 27th World Women.

The seventh grade, Baolin!

The eighth grade, the royal daughter!

Positive ninth grade, Ayame!

These three levels are prepared for the promotion of palace ladies. There are 27 people in each level, collectively called 81 imperial wives.

Lin Hao's next step was to fill up the harem. After all, there were still so many empty places, and Lin Hao always felt uncomfortable!

In the end, Lin Hao followed Liu Bang's example and made his British father the Supreme Emperor, and Lin Hao and Minglan's only eldest son, Zhang Yuchen, was made the crown prince!

At this point, the Ming Dynasty was clearly arranged from inside to outside, from top to bottom, and this also marked the official end of the Song Dynasty.

There were more than 300 state capitals in the entire Song Dynasty, including 220 nine state capitals, which formally submitted letters to support Lin Hao's ascension to the throne.

There were more than 90 state capitals that had no movement at all, so Lin Hao naturally understood what they meant.

In addition to some people who still support the Song Dynasty and claim that Song ministers are unwilling to mix with Lin Hao, there are also some people who have different intentions, and some even directly raise flags to rebel.

Of course, there are also people who are unable to get on the table in time due to inconvenient transportation.

In response to this, Lin Hao directly sent out those nobles who were ready to make a move and had long wanted to make achievements and make their wives and wives, and let them lead the troops to exterminate the rebellion.

Lin Hao then sent out four armies and began to encircle and suppress Buchen.

Of course, in addition to handling government affairs, several of Lin Hao's women were pregnant respectively, and Lin Hao was not prepared to wrong himself. After all, there were still so many vacancies in the harem.

So Lin Hao issued a decree to select concubines and recruit beauties from all over the world to enrich the harem!

Then the entire Ming Empire was in a state of excitement. This was a good opportunity to reach the sky in one step!

There are lessons learned from the past. For example, the Rong family, which was originally looked down upon due to the fall of the Song Dynasty, actually gave two daughters to Lin Hao, and they became Lin Hao's concubines before he ascended the throne.

And now she is a noble concubine, a concubine.

Another one, Grand Master Yu, who originally quit the center of power and became an official, gave his granddaughter Yu Yanran to Lin Hao as a concubine when he was still laughed at.

Now, the chicken and dog have ascended to heaven and been directly named a noble concubine!

Of course, compared with the Sheng family, these two families are nothing. Look at the Sheng family gave away five daughters, a queen, a concubine, two concubines, and a concubine.

Even their maids got a concubine and two concubines.

That's okay, the key is that Sheng Changbai married the emperor's sister, and the Sheng family father and son were also reused by Lin Hao.

Therefore, the Sheng family is now even more prosperous.Just thinking about it makes people envious, so the civil and military ministers sent their daughters to the talent show one after another, eagerly waiting for Lin Hao to choose!

After a month of selection, 99 well-educated beauties stood in front of Lin Hao, and Lin Hao happened to see a few familiar figures!

It was Hai Chaoyun, Shen Hezhen, Yu Yanhong...!

However, Lin Hao only had so many positions in the harem, so he did not give them special care. As for whether they can go further, it depends on their abilities!

That night, Hai Chaoyun was summoned and became the first beautiful lady to serve Lin Hao in his bed!

Hai Chaoyun is the second daughter of the head of the Hai family in Jiangning. She comes from a scholarly family and is full of nobles. Moreover, she is also a master of house fighting.

However, she is not a ruthless person, and her de Rong and her speech are not bad at all. Her family has a good reputation. Her father and brother have also caught up with Lin Hao, and now they are both officials in the government.

Looking at the shy Hai Chaoyun in front of him, Lin Hao stepped forward to hold her shoulders, and then started chatting with her to relieve her tension.

So Lin Hao asked:

"Come on, Chaoyun, I heard that your family rules state that a man can only take a concubine when he is forty years old and has no children. Is this true?"

Upon hearing this, Hai Chaoyun immediately replied carefully:

"Your Majesty, the Hai family does have some rules, so the men of the Hai family are the most popular among all families, and they all want to marry their daughters to the Hai family!"

Seeing that Hai Chaoyun was a little nervous, Lin Hao picked her up and placed her gently on the bed. While doing business, he asked:

"Then, is the same true for the married woman?"

"That's not true, but since I was a child, growing up in the Hai family, the women of the Hai family have inevitably taken their husbands' concubines more seriously, so the daughters of the Hai family are also the most difficult to marry!"

"Hahaha~! It's also...!" Lin Hao then said with emotion: "This rosewood dragon bed is indeed strong!"

······

The next day, Lin Hao, who was satisfied, issued an order to seal Hai Chaoyun as a true fifth-grade beauty. It was not that Lin Hao didn't want to do it all at once, but mainly to leave room for them to upgrade in the future!

Besides, these beautiful girls who came through the draft were different from Wei Yun'er and Ru Lan. Being able to give Hai Chaoyun a beauty was already considered a blessing.

Then it was Shen Hezhen who stayed in bed on the second night, Yu Yanhong on the third night, and... on the fourth night!

In the blink of an eye, half a year passed before Lin Hao, an old man, had completely pampered these beautiful women. It was not that Lin Hao was not good at it, but that he was not completely addicted to female sex.

During this half-year period, Lin Hao developed the economy on the one hand and expanded steel smelting, cement forging, glass manufacturing and other projects.

At the same time, a large army was sent to rectify the salt industry, attack the salt lords, and confiscated many of the salt lords' properties.

Later, Lin Hao used their money to increase the construction of salt farms in coastal areas. At the same time, he used some modern methods to vigorously develop and renew the salt industry, and nationalized the salt industry. The annual salt tax directly increased by 2000 million taels of silver!

On the other hand, the four armies sent by Lin Hao basically put down and recovered the previous rebellion.

As the civil servants sent by Lin Hao quickly took over local government affairs, the entire Ming Empire finally calmed down!

The border between the Ming Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom is currently relatively stable because the Supreme Emperor is stationed at the border.

The main reason was that at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Lin Hao was well prepared and failed to allow the Liao Kingdom to find a chance. However, the rebellion was quickly put down by Lin Hao.

Before the Liao army was fully assembled, they received news that the Ming rebellion had been put down.

Therefore, the Liao Kingdom just tested it on the border. After being met with a fierce counterattack by the Supreme Emperor, it returned in angrily and unwillingly.

In this way, time came to the second year of Jianxing. After Lin Hao's hard work in these two years, Ming Dynasty safely passed the most dangerous period.

Lin Hao took control of the local political power. With the promulgation of light corvee and low taxes and a series of policies that benefited the people, the Ming Dynasty not only prospered in national power, but also flourished in military power.

Nowadays, it can be said that Lin Hao is not afraid of any challenges. Not only that, Lin Hao is looking for opportunities to go north to attack the Liao Kingdom.

So in June of the second year of Jianxing, Lin Hao invited the Supreme Emperor to return to Bianjing to take charge. However, Lin Hao ignored the civil and military objections of the Manchu Dynasty and personally led a [-] cavalry expedition in July.

In ancient wars, troops were generally sent out in the autumn, because only after the food was harvested in the autumn would there be food to support the army in battle.

At the same time, it also avoids the delay of the autumn harvest when the people are recruited for corvee service, which is related to the national economy and people's livelihood of the entire country.

When the ancient court was fighting a war, it would need to start collecting grain, and the price of grain would continue to rise. Then when the people wanted to eat, they found that they couldn't even afford food.

And although the emperor wanted to ensure that the people had enough to eat, in the face of the huge amount of money consumed by the war, he had to continue to increase taxes, and the people's lives would only become more difficult.

This is why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wiped out the wealth saved by the five emperors from the Xiongnu to the point where the treasury was empty.

Because the consumption is too big, how big is it? For example, if you want to supply an army of [-], of which [-] are combat soldiers, and the remaining [-] are civilians or auxiliary troops.

Then at least 12 tons of grain will be consumed a year, and when transported from the grain production area to the enemy's territory, the grain consumption will be [-]%.

This means that 120 million tons of grain are needed, not counting the consumption of horses. If these are added, it is simply an astronomical figure.

But Lin Hao is different. After all, he has the skill of the Traceless Stretch Spell, which can expand space equipment. Lin Hao's mental power is 13 points, so he can make 13*13*13, which is 2197 cubic meters of space equipment!

One cubic meter can hold 0.52 tons of flour, and 2197 cubic meters can hold 1140 tons. If it is filled with rice or soybeans, it can hold about 1600 tons.

Therefore, when Lin Hao goes out to fight, he does not need many civilians to transport food for the army. He only needs to make a hundred or so space equipment to bring millions of tons of supplies.

It is precisely because of this kind of logistical weapon that Lin Hao has been able to deal with it calmly and easily during several battles in the north and south, and he can maneuver quickly without being hindered by logistics.

Chapter 373 Queen Xiao of Liao Kingdom

Lin Hao brought [-] cavalry to Yanmen Pass. Lin Hao did not make any changes to the defensive deployment at the border pass.

Instead, they took [-] cavalry, three per man, and set out from Yanmen Pass, wandering directly in the Liao Kingdom, attacking in all directions.

Lin Hao's principle was to fight if he could win, and to run if he couldn't win. In short, he did not want a decisive battle with the Liao Kingdom, and imposed a sixteen-character policy on guerrilla warfare.

A month later, the [-] cavalrymen were already exhausted, so Lin Hao immediately returned to Yanmen Pass with [-] horses and a large amount of trophies.

After three days of rest, Lin Hao rotated another [-] cavalry and attacked again.

Lin Hao's purpose was to consume the effective strength of the Liao Kingdom and use his unlimited logistical supply capabilities to fight a war of attrition with the Liao Kingdom.

Of course, the Liao Kingdom was not a fool. After three months of competition, Emperor Yelu Hongji of the Liao Kingdom also came to his senses.

Knowing that this was the Ming Dynasty's revenge, his confidant Yelu Yixin suggested that he send a large army to test the quality of the Ming Dynasty.
