The two women said it very unbearably. They hated their original parents-in-law's family, but they were not hard-hearted and knew that those people had no choice but to be like this.
And after we've been together for several years, I don't want to see those people end up with their families ruined.
Li Feng smiled: "That's not the case. Don't worry. I like wives, but I don't like killing people. I will spare their lives and let them work for me in the future."
Having said this, he reached out and hugged the two beauties into his arms: "But from now on, you must serve me well, I care about you very much."
The two women blushed even more now: "Well, I will definitely..."
After several people agreed, Li Feng also simply arranged work for the two women. It was actually nothing. Now his clinic has opened very big. In addition, he has promoted planting and obtained some seeds and other things, and he has also hired people.
Some.
Under this situation, Li Feng often needs to tidy up here, and the two women have no skills, so they are simply responsible for cooking, cleaning and tidying up the house.
After arranging them, Li Feng originally wanted to send the cloned Anpinghou to come here, but at this moment, something happened over Anpinghou. It turned out that this empire was going to undergo a Marquis assessment, and everyone was asked to participate in the preliminary review.
This is not complicated to say. The princes and princes from all over the country are all close associates of the emperor and the true emperor. However, the true emperor is also afraid that these people will not work hard or have no achievements, so an assessment must be conducted every three years.
To put it bluntly, it is to put some pressure on these people. Those who perform poorly in the assessment will be punished, or fined, or their ban will be reduced.
Then if you perform well, you will be admitted to a higher assessment. Finally, those who arrive in the capital will have an increased fiefdom and will be promoted to a noble title.
This was a big deal for Li Feng. After knowing the elements of the assessment, Li Feng didn't care about dealing with Li Wei's family. He quickly packed up and went to the provincial capital.
Their first trial was in Dazhuang City, the provincial capital, and the examination included civil and martial arts, etc.
Because the incident happened unexpectedly, Li Feng had no preparation and went with only two followers and some treasures.
When I got to the provincial capital, I went to see Duke Nan Guo in the provincial capital and found that all the people with titles from all over the province were already there.
Li Feng's Marquis is relatively high, and there are earls and viscounts below him. As for the lowest baron, he does not participate in the assessment.
Chen Jiang used to be very familiar with Chen Feng, the Duke of Nanguo here. Li Feng naturally became familiar with this Duke after integrating Chen Jiang's memory.
In order to establish a good relationship with the other party, when he arrived at the Duke's Mansion, he was immediately notified to see Duke Nan Guo.
Chen Feng, Duke of Nanguo, was very happy when he heard that Chen Jiang had arrived, and quickly ordered people to invite him to his mansion.
"Haha, Anping Hou, long time no see. You are getting more and more energetic."
When they met, Chen Feng laughed and praised him.
Li Feng also hurriedly saluted: "See the Duke, I haven't prepared any big gifts for you this time. A mere amount of money is not a sign of respect."
With that said, he handed the bank card he had prepared in advance to Chen Feng.
This was Chen Jiang's favorite thing to do in the past, because it was the most direct and effective way to give money, and every time it was a 10 million yuan card.
Chen Feng received the card and smiled even more happily: "Haha, I'm sorry to make you worry about me. Sit down quickly, sit down quickly."
"This time I was ordered by the emperor to conduct an assessment of the titles in the province. It is also very difficult. You also know that there are more and more royal families now. Your Majesty is determined to cut off some people's fiefdoms this time."
Li Feng's heart moved when he heard this: "Oh? Does your Majesty mean this?"
Chen Feng nodded: "Of course, there are now more than 3,000 people with nobility titles in the country, and the number of royal families will continue to increase. More and more people are born in branches in various places, and they always have to be distributed...
"
Chen Feng then explained the whole story carefully.
Li Feng was filled with emotion when he heard this. In fact, this matter is also a microcosm of feudal society, or one of the biggest drawbacks of feudal society.
What such a social system wants to safeguard is the interests of the aristocratic class. To put it bluntly, it means the continuous expansion of the royal family. In the eyes of the emperor, the world will be more stable only if his descendants rule it.
There won't be any big problems with such a system at first. After all, the emperor founded the country and dividing the fiefdoms among his sons would not affect the overall situation.
But I am afraid of the continued development in the future. Those princes have no worries about food and drink. Apart from scheming and scheming every day, they also find ways to have fun. They recruit more and more women, and naturally they will have more offspring.
By the time the emperor's grandson is born, there will be more than twenty, and if he continues to pass on, the number will reach hundreds. By analogy, the number will become more and more terrifying.
These royal families are all descendants of the emperor. They cannot be compared with the common people. They often want fiefdoms and power.
In the end, the more the fiefdom was given, the less and less the people's territory became. In the end, all the people became slaves and had no way to survive, so they would rise up and rebel.
And now the empire of this small world is at such a critical point, because it has been passed down for more than ten generations, the number of royal relatives has reached thousands, and the place is still so big, how can there be so many points.
Even the emperor would be troubled by this, so this review can be regarded as a system of survival of the fittest.
The purpose is to prevent this situation from developing too fast, and eventually the people will really have no way to survive.
After all, the royal family relies on the common people to survive, and it is precisely because of these common people that they can stand high. Otherwise, they are also nothing.
Now that it has reached the critical point, the assessment this time is also particularly strict. If the results are really poor, all the fiefdoms will be taken away.
After listening to Chen Feng's story, Li Feng also nodded slightly: "Oh...it seems that His Majesty is going to be cruel. We must be more careful this time."
Chen Feng also said sincerely: "As a Marquis, although you will not be deprived of all your fiefdom, you must be careful."
"If your grades are too bad and you end up being deprived of two counties, that will be enough for you..."
Chen Feng's words were meaningful, and Li Feng began to make calculations in his mind.
The Chen Jiang he incarnated was not a direct descendant of the royal family before, and this branch was not very popular either. It was just that he was granted the title of Marquis because of his greater achievements. It seems that this time the real emperor wants to cut the title of emperor to deal with those who are not direct descendants.
Let's start.
no!
He must show some results, and cannot really let the fiefdom be reduced.
Thinking of this, he also said flatteringly: "I have to rely more on the Duke of Guo to handle everything."
Chen Feng nodded: "Don't worry, I will take care of your matter. As long as you are not too bad, I will definitely protect you..."
The two chatted like this for a while, and finally understood the assessment.
Because there are more people to be eliminated in this assessment, the questions are also more difficult. The first competition is a martial arts competition, and the difference from the past is that in the past, the last ten people failed in the competition, but this time it was the last fifty people who failed.
, directly cancel the assessment qualification.
This is really strict enough. You must know that there are only three to four hundred people with titles in a province. If fifty people are cut off in the first game, then I don’t know how many people will be eliminated later...
