After receiving the commendation order, Tianxing knew that from now on he would be a quasi-noble. As long as he arrived in the imperial city to accept the formal canonization ceremony, he would remove the word quasi and become an official noble. From now on, it can be said that Tianxing has entered
The upper class of human society became one of them.
"Thank you, General, for your support. Your subordinates will never forget the general's care for you."
"You go back and prepare. In three days, you will go to the Royal City with the others to accept the canonization."
"Yes! I am resigning."
After General Long Teng informed Tianxing that he would go to the royal city with the other nine canonized officers in three days to be canonized, Tianxing left General Long Teng's headquarters in a happy mood.
"salute!"
When a group of soldiers guarding the entrance of the military camp saw Tianxing rushing back excitedly, they quickly straightened their backs and gave a military salute with a "Pa!" sound. They did not breathe a sigh of relief until Tianxing left. After all, in their hearts
They are still full of fear of Tianxing. In their hearts, Tianxing is equal to the devil. Even when facing the legion commander, they feel that there is not as much pressure on them as Tianxing. After all, the legion commander will not pay attention to these small soldiers, and Tianxing is their direct superior.
, or a boss with the title of devil.
"Congratulations to the battalion commander on becoming a noble!"
Seeing Tianxing coming back excitedly, Black Panther hurried over to congratulate him. He was different from Er Gouzi. If Er Gouzi was Er Gouzi, he would definitely flatter him. Black Panther simply congratulated him, but the expression of excitement on his face was even more exciting than that of Tian Xing.
Many, as if he was the one who was about to become a noble.
"Well! Did anything happen while I was gone?"
While asking Black Panther, Tianxing walked into his room.
"Everything is fine. We just added a group of new recruits a few days ago. Now the battalion is fully staffed. All training is carried out according to the arrangements before you left. Battalion Commander, are you going to the Royal City soon?"
Black Panther followed Tianxing and walked in. After answering Tianxing's questions, Black Panther asked gossipy questions. It seemed that Black Panther was quite curious.
"Yes! We will set off in three days. After I leave, the third battalion will be under your temporary control. The new recruits must train quickly and strive to form a certain combat effectiveness as soon as possible. If there is anything, discuss it with the other captains. Now you go and take care of Zhang
Come shout Sheng."
Tianxing did not expect to leave immediately after coming back, so he left all the affairs of the military camp to Black Panther. After all, the only people he trusted were Black Panther and Ergouzi.
"Congratulations General!"
As soon as Zhang Sheng came in, the first thing he did was congratulate Tianxing.
"It's too early to say general. Captain Zhang, in two days I will go to the Imperial City to accept the canonization. I have never been to the Imperial City. I heard that you are from the Imperial City? I called you here this time because I want to know more about the Imperial City.
The situation in the city.”
Tianxing knew that among all his men, only Zhang Sheng was from the Royal City, and Zhang Sheng's experience in various aspects was not comparable to that of his top soldiers. Therefore, he specially called Zhang Sheng here just to understand the situation in the Royal City.
"General! I have grown up in the royal city since I was a child. You are asking the right person to ask me. Do you want to know about the nobility? Since the founding of the kingdom is on February 18th, a ceremony to worship the heaven will be held on this day.
, one is to thank God, and the other is to pray for the country. After the heaven-sacrifice ceremony is a grand military parade, at which time the four major legions of the empire will send troops to participate."
Zhang Sheng knew that Tianxing wanted to know more than just the situation in the royal city, and the main purpose was about the canonization, so he started from the Centenary National Day.
"The canonization ceremony will be held in the afternoon. Normally, the kingdom will canonize fifty nobles every year, and they will be canonized by His Majesty the King himself. 10 places are reserved for non-noble family members who have made outstanding contributions to the kingdom, and 20 places are reserved for non-noble family members who have made outstanding contributions to the kingdom.
The final 20 places are prepared for the newly-adult children of all nobles in the empire, and all of them are in the army."
"In the evening, a grand dinner is held in the palace. The dinner is the highlight. Here you can get to know other nobles. 80% of the kingdom's annual transactions are signed at this dinner. It is also the palace of marriages because there are many royal cities here.
The most beautiful flower and the youngest hero. General, you must seize this opportunity!"
"All countries in the mainland have certain restrictions on nobles, in order to ensure the number of nobles. Therefore, only the heir of each noble can inherit his father's title, but the title will be reduced by two levels, so if the heir of a brilliant noble cannot
Zhengqi is likely to become a declining noble after a few generations, and eventually be disqualified from the nobles. In order to continue the glorious inheritance of the family, all nobles hope that there will be more nobles in their families."
"But you also know that every noble has many concubines, so they have many children. The remaining children focus on the empire's annual canonization. After all, the annual quota is too small. Due to the scarcity of quotas, there are many
The children of nobles set their sights on the army. For example, I was born in a poor noble family, and I came here hoping to get a title."
"Becoming a noble means standing at the top of the empire pyramid and enjoying many privileges. Nobles can accept the allegiance of warriors, can obtain fiefdoms, have immunity, etc. Therefore, becoming a noble is the greatest achievement in my life.
wish.”
It was obvious that Captain Zhang Sheng went off topic as he talked, and finally went to his dream. Although Tianxing wanted to know about the situation in the royal city, it was also good to know more about the nobles, so he did not interrupt Zhang Sheng.
"The mainland nobles are divided into seven levels: king, duke, uncle, marquis, male, son, and lord. The treatment of each level is different. The nobles of the kingdom are like this. The lord can accept the allegiance of six warriors, that is, a small detachment.
Number of people, a squad leader with five warriors can own a fief of ten miles. A viscount can accept the allegiance of twelve warriors and own a fief of twenty miles. A baron has twenty-four warriors and has a fief of fifty miles. A marquis can accept fifty warriors.
The earl can accept the allegiance of 120 warriors and own a fiefdom of 200 miles. The duke can accept the loyalty of 200 warriors and own a fiefdom of 300 miles. The prince can accept the loyalty of 500 warriors.
He pledges allegiance and owns a fiefdom of five hundred miles."
"All nobles are free to set taxes within the territory. They just need to pay a certain amount of tax to the kingdom every year according to the level of their title. Therefore, a good fiefdom will cause many nobles to fight over their heads. If they are allocated a piece of barren land and cannot pay the tax,
Taxes will be punished by the kingdom, and the territory may even be taken back by the empire. My father is a noble with no territory, so although my current family is in the royal city, the family no longer has a fief."
"General, I estimate that your fiefdom will be the most barren because you don't have any backing. However, the fiefdom is different every year, and it still depends on luck. However, General, although there is no way to fiefdom this time, you can move around in the royal city.
For a moment, if the activity is good, there will be no chance at all."
Zhang Sheng told Tianxing everything he knew. These were not secrets and there was no need to hide them.
"General, you still have a chance to go to the royal city to do more activities this time, so you'd better prepare some decent items. Maybe you can catch a ride this time. After all, one of the officers canonized this time is the Prime Minister's second son.
The other officers also have very deep backgrounds. If it weren’t for the centenary celebration and the king deliberately did not set up a civilian qualification for the legion, you would not have become a noble."
"You must know that this quota has caused many nobles to try their best. If it were not for the king's order, even if your contribution was 10 times greater, you would not be canonized. By the way, this is your income after you leave, although it has not yet been settled.
I thought you would need a lot of money to go to the royal city, so I brought it to you now."
Having said this, Zhang Sheng took out a bag filled with gold coins. Zhang Sheng is indeed a shrewd man. He knows that after laying a good foundation with Tianxing, Tianxing will never forget himself when Tianxing becomes prosperous. This is a long-term
invest.
"General! There are 800 here for 20 days, 60 gold coins per day, and 1,200 gold coins for twenty days. After excluding half of the gold coins handed over to the regiment headquarters, there are 600 left. The remaining 200 are extra during the New Year. General, take them to the royal city to take care of them.
Okay. I won’t make any distinction this time. In addition, this is my subordinate’s intention for you to become a Lord. Please be sure to accept it.”
After speaking, Zhang Shengyou took out a much smaller money bag and handed it to Tianxing together.
"You've got what you want, but you should take what you deserve. Although you don't have a better future with me than with other battalion commanders, since you have followed me, you must obey my orders. Thank you for telling me today
So much, otherwise I would have missed the opportunity when I got to the Royal City. These are more important than how much money I have.
Tianxing counted 150 coins from the pile and pushed them in front of Zhang Sheng. He threw Zhang Sheng's wallet and all the money into the cabinet and said to Zhang Sheng.
"General! To be honest, I have been working in the Wild Wolf for three years. You are the battalion commander I admire the most. Your subordinates have no power in the Royal City and cannot help you. Here I wish you all the best in your arrival in the Royal City."
Zhang Sheng knew that Tianxing was a man of his word, so he picked up the money and left without any nonsense. Looking at Zhang Sheng's leaving figure, Tianxing fell into deep thought. He did not expect that a canonization could have so many meanings. This was only learned from Zhang Sheng.
Just scratch the surface.
"Come here! Inform all the captains to come to the meeting!"
Tianxing shouted at the door, and he decided to divide the money first. After all, it was still an eyesore to have so much money here.
"Yes! General!"
The soldiers heard Tianxing's greeting and ran in immediately. After hearing Tianxing's order, they quickly ran to inform.
"Everyone! Here are 350 gold coins. They should have been divided before the Chinese New Year. Since I have something to do, I have postponed it until now. I will go to the royal city in two days for the canonization. Let's divide the money today."
In the end, each captain got 30 gold coins, leaving 50 gold coins for Tianxing.
"General! My subordinates know that the general will need a lot of expenses when he arrives in the royal city. These 300 gold coins are a small tribute from our subordinates. We hope to help the general."
It turned out that after Zhang Sheng left Tianxing, he found all the captains. Finally, all the captains gathered together 250 gold coins. Zhang Sheng added 50 more to make up 300 gold coins, and now handed it to Tianxing in front of everyone. He did this
This made Tianxing very grateful to Zhang Sheng.
After all, Tianxing is penniless now. All the money he spent on his return trip was given to Aunt Mary and Yali. This time when he went to the royal city, there were many places to spend money. It was really hard to have less money. For those nobles, it was a few hundred gold coins.
Maybe it doesn't count, but to Tianxing it's a huge sum of money.
