More than 200 years ago, when the imperial family abdicated, Bactria began the process of modern industrialization, and the traditional aristocratic class was declining.

The old nobility was constantly being cut down and new titles became more and more difficult to obtain, until later only those who had made great contributions to the country were eligible for titles, often honorary titles.

Honorary titles are not passed on to individuals, and are only used as a symbol of status and status, without any privileges.

But the actual title is completely different, the actual grant is a fief, that is, permanent land, which can be passed down from generation to generation, as long as Daxia does not perish, the right will always be there.

However, since the Great Xia system of government changed and the cabinet came to power, there were too few people who were actually awarded knighthoods, and each of them had a legendary story worthy of being written, which could be included in history textbooks.

There's a reason for that.

At that time, the royal family was extravagant and degenerate, and in order to loot wealth, they openly sold their official positions, creating a large number of incompetent and corrupt old nobles, which almost led to the demise of Great Xia.

The nascent Great Xia learned the lessons of the past and made extremely strict rules in this regard, so that fewer and fewer people had knighthoods.

It is precisely because of this that scarcity is precious, and the Great Xia cabinet took out a real count and awarded it to Zuo Yi, which undoubtedly showed the respect and sincerity of the senior management of Great Xia.

And corresponding to the earl's title is a total of 3,700 hectares on the south bank of the Qianjiang River in Hangzhou, including the area of Linjiang Town, that is, 55,500 acres of fiefdom!

Not only did these lands hold freehold, but there were also preferential state taxes generated within the fiefdoms.

Hangzhou is the capital of Jiangnan Province, and its economic level is among the best among the first-tier cities, although it is not as good as Shanghai, but the land value is also very high.

Especially now that the urban area of Hangzhou is developing in the east and south directions, and the housing prices along the south bank of the Qianjiang River are rising, if all these 3,700 hectares are sold as commercial land, it will definitely return an astronomical amount of money.

But in the eyes of many people, a real earl title is more valuable than thousands of hectares of sky-high land!

Even Qin Wuyang's eyes showed envy when he looked at Zuo Yi.

He also has a real title, but neither the title nor the fief is as good as Zuo Yi, especially the latter is far behind.

Of course, Qin Wuyang also knew very well that this fief was actually an alternative exchange for the thunderstone resources that Zuo Yi had mastered.

Otherwise, the cabinet would have been extremely generous in offering a few thousand acres of land.

And Zhang Zonghan and Xiao Li, the two military and political leaders of Great Xia, were also very emotional in their hearts, Zuo Yi was only thirty years old, but he had already reached the peak that countless people dreamed of.

It's just that to everyone's surprise, in the face of this amazing honor and interests, Zuo Yi behaved very indifferently, neither the surprise of being smashed by the heavenly pie, nor the pride of reaching the pinnacle of life.

He just nodded and said, "Thank you." ”

Thank you?

That's it, huh?

Zhang Zonghan, Xiao Li and Qin Wuyang are all old and spicy characters, and they are a little uncontrollable at this time.

The corner of Xiao Li's eyes, the commander of the Wehrmacht, twitched.

Before Xiao Li could speak, Zuo Yi smiled and said, "These thunder stones are a little bit of my heart. ”

Getting the title of earl was indeed unexpected, but it didn't make him lose his temper.

You must know that in the world of Sadeya, Zuo Yi once had the opportunity to divide the marquis title and have a territory larger than that of Jiangnan Province.

It's just that he gave up.

As soon as the words fell, Zuo Yi waved his hand, and more than a thousand large and small thunder stones suddenly appeared out of thin air.

They hovered above everyone's heads, emitting a faint blue or purple glow, and they complemented each other like bright stars, making people hold their breath.

This was not all the thunder stones that Zuo Yi had, he himself also kept the twelve largest and highest quality thunder stones.

Because the Sukra Ring has spell-like lightning strikes and thunderstorm skills, it must rely on thunder stones to inspire casting.

These skills are quite useful to Zuo Yi, and of course he will not give up.

He went through many tests to make such a division.

In fact, for Daxia, so many thunder stones are completely enough, you must know that many of the thunder stones given by Zuo Yi are very large in size, and they can cut out multiple standard energy cores, which is enough to meet the needs of combat mechas.

In fact, it is impossible for Great Xia to produce so many battle armors, because the manufacturing cost of battle armor is very high, which is comparable to that of fighter jets.

Staring at the Thunder Stone Constellation above their heads, Zhang Zonghan, Xiao Li, and Qin Wuyang did not speak for a long time.

All three were amazed by the miraculous spectacle that transcended common sense.

After a while, Zhang Zonghan spoke: "Chief Zuo, you have a heart." ”

Zuo Yi touched his nose, shook his head and said, "I knew that the thunder stone was so useful, I should have dug more in Baparo." ”

"Enough. ”

Xiao Li smiled: "We are also vigorously buying the thunder stone over there, but it seems to be different from what you provided. ”

"Something that needs to be converted. ”

Zuo Yi explained: "Give me all the thunder stones you collected, and I will help transform them for free." ”

The thunder stones buried in Sassans are all unstable bodies, and can only be used as energy cores through the transformation of the World Stone.

The entire Blue Star is also only able to do it by Zuo Yi.

Qin Wuyang and Xiao Li looked at each other and showed a relaxed smile.

Although this was not the perfect result, it achieved the goal of the meeting, and it was a great joy for all.

"Chief Left. ”

Zhang Zonghan said: "According to the custom, a knighthood ceremony needs to be held, and of course your opinion must be respected. ”

The conferment of the title of Great Xia is very grand, and under normal circumstances, it is necessary to hold a ceremony in the Great Xia Palace, presided over by members of the royal family, and then publicize it to the whole country or even broadcast it live.

But if Zuo Yi doesn't need this vanity, and if he doesn't want to make a lot of trouble, then there is no problem.

Zuo Yi did not hesitate to this: "No need. ”

"That's good. ”

Zhang Zonghan took the golden emblem sandalwood box that had been prepared long ago, and handed it over to Zuo Yi under the witness of Qin Wuyang and Xiao Li.

The box contained a title certificate, a fiefdom deed, and an earl's coat of arms, as well as a set of royal royal gowns.

From the moment he took over the box, Zuo Yi became the earl and nobleman of Great Xia, with a fief of 3,700 hectares on the south bank of the Qianjiang River, and truly ranked among the top of Great Xia.

According to the system of Great Xia, Zuo Yi's title and fief can be passed on to future generations.

Although the title is a descendant inheritance, the land is a permanent inheritance, and once as long as he wants, he can use it to establish a future family or even a big lord at any time!

Zhang Zonghan, Xiao Li and Qin Wuyang said in unison: "Chief Zuo, congratulations!"

This moment will also be recorded in the history of Great Xia!
