Chapter 537 [Split Cake]

Chapter 537 [Split Cake]

Sophie looked at Xia Ya with a smile and said lightly: "What? Sir, are you still a little unwilling to accept it?"

Xia Ya frowned, thought for a moment, and then sighed: "The territory I have successfully built up, but I just handed over your words. Although I agree with the reason you said,... I will always feel more troublesome when doing things in the future."

"These places are the territory of the empire after all." Sophie patiently looked at Shaya's eyes and smiled: "Sir, the empire has intentionally deposed the Tema military region system since decades ago, but because the Tema military region system has become a climate, the various military regions have troops to establish themselves, and the central government of the empire has no power to eradicate these hidden dangers, which has only been delayed day by day, causing the huge civil strife that broke out today. From a legal perspective, you are not the governor of the military region, nor are you granted the title of the title.

The Tema Military Region is a garrison district designated by the Empire. The garrison district is not the Tema Military Region, but a purely militarized sub-region. It does not involve local government affairs, but the situation in the north of the Empire is too chaotic, and the connection with the central government is cut off. The imperial capital is far from reaching us, so we have to abide by the current semi-* situation of our northern military region. But from a legal perspective, the Northern Garrison District does not have the power to interfere in local government affairs."

"Besides, the territory you have is too large now. According to tradition, the garrison area should be a border military area. Now the territory you have, Siltan County, Corsica, Boro... are not border counties and do not border borders. In this way, you really have no reason to control these territory. Even if the imperial capital can't do anything to us now, there will always be people who gossip if they continue for a long time. Sir, the Northern Army group is emerging after all, our foundation is not solid enough, and our connections are not wide enough, and your prestige is far less than that of those famous old ministers in the empires, such as Adrick and Duke Minas. With a newcomer like you, if you rashly stand at the forefront, it is probably not a good thing. Now, being a little low-key or making a little compromise may not be a bad thing for you."

"Although our Northern Army is the strongest, the strongest military strength and the largest territory, in general, my personal judgment is: Now is not the best time for us to jump onto the center of this stage immediately! I don't need to explain the reason why a big tree attracts wind, and not to mention that your big tree has not yet solid enough to withstand the strong wind. Now, just give the stage to those in the imperial capital and let others stand in the center of this stage to fight. You'd better stand by and watch silently, and then accumulate strength silently."

"Please send local administrative officials to the imperial capital. You don't have to worry too much about losing control over the local government. You know, it's a chaotic world! In the chaotic world, military power is the most important. Moreover, the territory we are in our hands is very far away from the imperial capital, and there is also a warlord party area in the middle. Even if the imperial capital really wants to take back these lands, it is still ineffective. At most, it's just to send some officials to take over local government affairs and serve as governors or governors. But you think, military power is firmly controlled by you! In the whole north, besides our northern army, where are there any other imperial troops? Even if the imperial capital is left, is there any imperial army?

If those officials are sent to really control the place, it will be difficult to move without our nod! There are warlords around. Local officials must guard the place, maintain local public order, and even local garrisons, and collect financial and taxes. They must rely on the army in your hands to carry out the execution. They have no power in their hands. They are just a bearish local administrative official. Even if they really come to be the governor or the consul, they are not allowed to rub it. If they want him to be round, they will be round, and if they want him to be beaten! If they dare to go against your mind, you just need to withdraw the army that maintains the place, and those officials will be afraid that their orders will not even be out of their own doors!"

"The last one is financial tuition." Sophie chuckled, "Actually this one is the most important, but the current situation seems to have saved my worries. Originally, the biggest manifestation of the central government's control over localities was the collection of taxes. If it were normal, I would never give you such suggestions to let the imperial capital send officials. But now it is different! The traffic between the north and the south has been blocked, unless we can destroy the warlords blocking our imperial capital in one breath and open up the roads between the north and the south... Otherwise, the imperial capital's control over the local area will only exist in symbolic meaning! Even the officials sent down will not be able to transport local financial tuition and taxes to the imperial capital! In this way, the finances will still be in your hands! Those officials sent by us have to live a life with the faces of our Northern Army."

"I have made a name for you and have hope for you. In fact, we have not really paid any benefit to our own family. The land returned to the central government is just a nominal cheap. It is better to give it to me. But with so many benefits, why not do it?"

Xia Ya smiled, he scratched his head and shouted: "Okay, what you said is indeed reasonable. Since this matter is already like this, I don't need to think too much... Well! I always trust you!"

"Sir, that's the case." Sophie stood solemnly, then bowed and bowed. The little woman's expression was very serious, and she said slowly: "Please trust me just!"

"It's just a gesture."

Ruer's face was full of a happy smile: "However, I could actually think of doing such a gesture. This kid has indeed made progress. If it were in the past, I was afraid he would not have thought of doing such a thing."

The fat man picked up the cup and drank a sip of water. He then rubbed the fat meat on his cheeks and chuckled dryly: "I think this idea is probably what Kavishil's little apprentice came up with... Only that guy can come up with such a trick! Well... But this time, the people in the imperial capital are going to start working again. Hehe, the positions of officials in several counties, from county magistrates to administrative officials at all levels, are many positions..."

Ruhr's guess became a fact.

Just after the publication of the official documents submitted to the imperial capital for the land of several counties, the imperial capital immediately showed a positive response, giving General Chaya Leiming a great praise. At the same time, the military headquarters also approved a number of meritorious titles about war. In the Northern Army, from Green below, those who had meritorious titles in this war were awarded. Although Chaya Leiming's title was not promoted (he was already a duke, so he could not be promoted.), there were several more valuable court titles, such as the imperial courage gold medal, the imperial hero honor medal, and the like, which were also approved for money. And his title of "General of the Northern Garrison District" was not promoted.

After all, according to the imperial military system, the "garrison general" is a regional military commander at the level of general, and is already one level higher than the general of the corps commander. If he goes further, he will probably only have the title of deputy marshal.

But... Xia Ya was only in her early twenties. A rank of marshal in her twenties, even if it was just the rank of deputy marshal, was too scary. The current rank of marshal in the empire, Duke Minas only got a marshal in his lifetime.

Even though Adrick made outstanding achievements, he could not get a marshal. He still relied on military advice to take over the power, so he forced the emperor to order him to be appointed as a "Marshal of the Protective Country", which was considered to be officially promoted to the marshal level.

And Xia Ya... he is really far from it.

As for other rewards... money, let alone. The empire is currently occupied by the last tax zone in the south by Duke Minas, and the supply of the imperial capital is already tight - there is no money required.

In general, after winning this war, the gains from Shaya's victory was nothing more than that of himself and his men, who had won a lot of titles, commendations, medals, and so on.

From this point of view, it can be said that it has lost a lot of capital - after all, I won’t talk about the commendations and medals, even if it is a title, you should know how much territory is left under the control of the Empire Central Committee? Even if you are granted a noble title, there is no fief to give you. How valuable can a short noble title without a fief?

Here in Xiaya, the land of several counties was handed over to the central government of the Empire, and hundreds of official positions were sent over, which immediately caused trouble in all aspects of the imperial capital!

Hundreds of official positions! These are hundreds of official positions that are extra in one breath!

You should know that the empire is so in such a small way that most of the factions and powerful families in all aspects of the imperial capital are worried about the future of this country. At this time, who doesn’t want to find a good way out for themselves?

At this time, for some big wealthy families, it was just time to bet, either bet on the royal family and be a loyal royalist, or secretly talk to the warlords and followers, or secretly turn to the Duke of Minas in the south, or support Adrick (Adrick's impartiality and integrity made very few people among the nobles support him).

At this time, Xia Ya, who is rising in the north, is undoubtedly a new candidate worth betting on.

This Lord Shaya has the title of Duke, military achievements, military powers and territory, he is young and has a bright future. More importantly, he has a low foundation and needs to recruit people! If his foundation is not deep, it means that there are not many people under his command. For a new group, if it develops further in the future, there will always be many more positions!

When will the large ship of the Northern Army not squeeze in as soon as possible?

When Xia Ya was in the imperial capital, so many nobles and wealthy families gave him money and women. Now Xia Ya has gone further and gave him hundreds of official positions. Why don’t many wealthy nobles go up quickly?

This is true for the wealthy families. Some down-and-out and unsuccessful officials also placed their hopes of becoming successful on relying on this strong man in the north.

For a time, people from all walks of life went back and forth in the military headquarters to inquire about the news, and those who visited the Imperial Government Affairs Office to find friends and make relationships. The big wealthy families wanted to take the opportunity to board the big ship of Xia Yaleming, while the small unsuccessful officials wanted to take the opportunity to obtain an official position in the north, and it would be best if they could leave this crisis-ridden imperial capital!

Although there may be quite a few positions in hundreds of official positions, if they are really divided, it is really not enough to be divided!

Among them, the senior positions that really have weight are simply the positions of county magistrates of several counties and consuls in several big cities. There are only a few positions like this, and those who have no foundation and no background need not think about it. As for the other middle and low-level administrative positions, they are not enough for a few big families and wealthy families. As for those unsuccessful small officials, they can only mix in it and drink some refrigerated leftovers.

However, Adrick of the Military Headquarters watched the cake split this time coldly. Originally, Adrick was already in power, and everyone thought that the marshal of the country would definitely take the opportunity to arrange a few of his own confidants.

But unexpectedly, the military did not make any statement about the location of these counties. Some people even deliberately asked Adrick to decide several official positions, but Adrick also refused in a plain manner.

Well, Lord Adrick wants to be fair, that is his own business. Since he doesn't want it, everyone doesn't have to be polite.

Hundreds of official positions were quickly approved by the Imperial Government Affairs Office. The old prime minister Sarenbonelli was approved in almost two days, allowing the nobles and wealthy families to make trouble, compromise with each other, and divide the cake. The prime minister also did not say a word, and he would not join his own people, nor would he participate - you should divide it, and I would just agree.

Two hundred and ninety-six "lucky people" were quickly decided.

After the empire compromised and communicated in all aspects, the two hundred and ninety-six officials selected became the objects of envy of most people, especially the senior officials introduced by several wealthy families: county magistrates and consuls, which were simply reserve talents cultivated by several wealthy families.

In the empire, the big guys from all over the country did not forget to take care of Xia Ya's face: after the list of official positions was decided, they also left a few Feique positions to hand them over to Xia Ya to report the candidates he liked. Xia Ya did not have the style of Adrick. She honestly and unceremoniously accepted several Feique's official positions and filled in the list of several internal promotions of the Northern Army.

This list of officials at all levels in several counties in the northern part of the new empire was soon approved by the military headquarters, the approval of the Government Affairs Bureau, and the order of His Majesty the Emperor himself. Even General Xia Leiming from the north also wrote a letter to express his support.

In this way, everyone seems to be happy.

However, for those two hundred and ninety-six lucky people, they still face one last problem.

How to get to the north.

Going from the imperial capital to the north, it is necessary to pass through several areas controlled by the warlords.

This journey is not close! If hundreds of officials head north without guards, they are afraid they will be hijacked by the warlords halfway.

The imperial capital had no choice but to hit Xia Ya again.

Invite the Northern Garrison General Xia Yaleming to send troops to welcome and send over the premiered officials at all levels.

...Xia quit!

He immediately wrote a letter to reply: It’s not possible!

The Northern Army had just experienced a great war, and several military regions were pacified, and local order was maintained and remnants of the rebels were cleaned up. The military strength was tight. Where could there be any remaining strength to send troops north to welcome officials at all levels?

His reason is high-sounding, and the imperial capital is helpless.

In the end, the fat man Ruer, who was ignored by everyone, came up with an idea that no one expected.

"It's better... ask the Landis people to help me, take a boat and walk on the sea..."
