Next came the earls, and there were relatively many of them. Zhang Fu began to write down their names one by one.

These included Fu Cunshen, Zhou Cang, Xu Wei, Gongsun Zan, Gongsun Du, Shan Xiongxin, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Xi Zhicai, Liu Bowen, Yao Guangxiao, Li Shanchang, Dian Wei, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Taishi Ci, Xu Rong, Zhang Dingbian, Guan Hai, Zhang Mancheng, Bo Cai, Guo Yu, Yan Zhong, Huang Zhong, Gao Chong, Wang Yue, etc.

In addition, since the system added some additional military exploits to Xu Da, Yue Fei, Xin Qiji, and Chang Yuchun when they were summoned, they were also included in the list of earls by Zhang Fu.

In addition, although Shen Wansan, Du Kang, Zhang Yajiu, Jia Sixie, and others did not directly participate in the battle, they silently made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty and were also written into the list of earls.

Finally, Qiu Liju was also named an earl because of his identity as a Wuhuan.

These earls showed outstanding talents and contributions in different fields, and jointly promoted the development of the Ming Dynasty.

Such as Li Siyuan, Li Cunmao, Shi Jingsi, Suo Chao, Yan Rou, Liao Hua, Fang La, Zhang Xian, Wu Shigui, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Su Fei, Xu Ding, Li Tong, Zhang Yan, He Man, Zhang Baiqi, Chen Dao, Wu Anguo, Zhangsun Wuji, Meng Liang, Jiao Zan, Li Shunchen, Yi Zhiwende, Tang He and others.

They either lacked merit or had not yet established merit, so they were not awarded titles, but they were definitely indispensable in terms of official positions.

......

Soon, Zhang Fu finished writing all the contents, and then the vacant official positions were handed over to others to fill.

After all, the scale of this reward was so large that a large number of children from noble families and poor families were needed to fill the vacancies.

However, due to the large number of people, Zhang Fu could not remember everyone's name, so he could only give this task to Guo Jia and Jia Xu, the two leaders of the bad people.

Early the next morning, Zhang Fu, served by Gao Lishi, put on the golden dragon robe and prepared to go to the ceremony of opening the reward ceremony.

At this time, Yan Zhong stood in the front and began to read his own carefully written long speech, which lasted for nearly half an hour.

Zhang Fu sat on the dragon chair, listening to Yan Zhong's endless speech, and gradually felt a little sleepy.

Finally, Yan Zhong finished reading the long speech and returned to his original position.

Next, Gao Lishi began to read the imperial edict. First, according to Zhang Fu's request, he read the reward of the title.

After Gao Lishi finished reading, Zhang Fu stood up and delivered an impassioned speech.

He told everyone that although some people failed to obtain the title, they also made contributions to the country, and promised to give them more opportunities and rewards.

These words filled those who were not given titles with hope and motivation. They were like chicken blood, and were not disappointed at all because they did not get the title.

......

Then came the appointment of officials. In this regard, Zhang Fu arranged them completely according to their respective abilities. As for the size of their merits, he did not take them into consideration at all.
