Chapter 1401: Canonized Territory (3)

"Tell you, if you want to ensure that you can inherit the current title, you must develop the officer's territory, otherwise you will wait for the title and territory to get smaller and smaller. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Who doesn't know this truth, it's just that if you look at so many nobles in the entire empire, only ten of them can guarantee the inheritance of the current title, which of the others is not inherited by the demotion of the lord? Officers' territories are not so easy to build. ”

"If someone is successful, how do you know that we won't? I'm going to give it a try, and I don't care about the money anyway. ”

"Well, you have a lot of brothers in your family, so it's okay to try, maybe if you succeed, you will become the heir of the family."

"It's such a state affair, anyway, now the heir is not me, so I have to fight hard."

"I'll be exempt, if I use the money indiscriminately, the heir qualification will definitely be revoked, and my territory will be left to fend for itself. I just hope that I won't be canonized to cross the border, otherwise the territory will be occupied, and it will take a while to become a major. ”

As the majors entered the inner room, the sound completely disappeared, and the majors who remained in place. They are all thinking about what they should do when they get the territory.

Soon, Zhao Hu entered the inner room, where there were two middle-aged men dressed in civil official clothes and two young men dressed in internal official clothes.

"Zhao Hu." A civil servant asked.

"Yes." Zhao Hu handed over the military status certificate, and his quick movements would not make people notice that he was distracted just now.

The civilian officer checked the military registration certificate, and then handed it to an internal official, who searched for it in the large stack of data that followed.

During this period, the two civil officials instructed Zhao Hu every word, these words are nothing more than some territories issued to you, which is the recognition of His Majesty the Emperor to you, for the sake of His Majesty the Emperor, you must protect the safety of the territory, and always be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor.

Zhao Hu could only nod his head submissively, making him frenzied and showing his loyalty, he couldn't do it, but his restrained appearance looked like a civil official, he had never seen the world. A nervous young man, so he was quite satisfied with Zhao Hu's performance.

The internal official came back with a parchment scroll that was sealed with wax, and the civil official handed the parchment scroll to Zhao Hu along with the military registration certificate, and said: "This parchment scroll is the proof of your territory, work hard for the empire and His Majesty the Emperor, you can go back." He waved his hand.

Zhao Hu hurriedly saluted and withdrew, he didn't expect the whole canonization process to be so simple, and it was completely different from the cumbersome and grand ceremony in his imagination.

But thinking that you can get a territory with a major, then you can understand, how many majors there are in the entire Imperial Army, all of them are cumbersome and grand, not to mention the money spent, but the time it takes can make people crazy.

It seems that some legendary rituals can only appear when the nobles canonize them.

Zhao Hu, who listened to the advice very much, found a Praetorian Guard, stuffed a money bag over, and left the palace without encountering anything.

Later, I heard that several unlucky officers went the wrong way into the harem and were dismissed and questioned.

Back at the hotel, Zhou Wen and the others, who were looking through the autumn water, came up with Liu, who was only concerned about eating. Luo Fei also surrounded the periphery probe to probe his brain.

"My lord, where is your territory canonized?" Sun Jie, who was anxious, immediately asked, but was kicked by Zhou Wen, who was serving tea and pouring water.

Seeing Sun Jie grinning on his buttocks, Zhao Hu smiled, took out the parchment roll and threw it to Dio and said, "I don't know, I haven't seen it yet." ”

As soon as Dior heard this, he immediately carefully removed the seal and unfolded the parchment scroll, which was imprinted with a few lines of words: "Major Zhao Hu has made great achievements, and the county canonized Xiaoyu Village, Liusha Town, Bin'an County, Nanshui County, Haiquan Province, as its territory, with an area of ten kilometers in length and width. ”

"In addition, Major Zhao Hu must reside in the territory for more than one year before he can perform his military duties."

Below is the seal of the Imperial Prime Minister. With this seal, except for His Majesty the Emperor, the Prime Minister of the Empire, the owner of the seal, who wants to change it, must also convene all the members of the Imperial Council and obtain the approval of the majority before it can be changed.

Everyone was dumbfounded by the last line, must live in the territory for more than a year before performing military duties? Isn't the stipulation half a year? Most people don't have to fulfill this responsibility, so how can adults be explicitly ordered? And it's a one-year period? Even those suppressed officers won't have such treatment, right?

Thinking of this, suddenly thinking of the powerful man who seized the map, everyone couldn't help but sigh.

Immediately afterwards, everyone was shocked by the huge area of the territory, and Sun Jie exclaimed: "Oh my God! Ten kilometers in length and width, that is, an area of one hundred square kilometers! That place is so remote? How many people are needed to guard it! ”

Zhao Hu looked at the first line of text, and he asked suspiciously: "Where is this Haiquan Province?" ”

It's no wonder that Zhao Hu doesn't understand the division of imperial provinces, he has been in the empire for more than a year, but most of the time is on the march, and the complete imperial map is not accessible to him, a junior officer, the map of the fifth brigade last time only recorded the provinces near the prairie, and there was no record in other places at all.

Dio, who was still from the old imperial capital, explained: "Sea Springs is also one of the five coastal provinces of the empire, connecting the coastal provinces, but it is more pitiful than the coastal provinces, not even a medium-sized port does not exist, and it is also the most chaotic border province of the empire because of its proximity to the southeast peninsula. ”

Speaking of which, Dio had already sighed, if the adult's territory was in another province, he could still use the money he earned to smash him, but in the southeast peninsula adjacent to the chaotic land, I am afraid that no matter how much money is smashed, it will be a blister.

"The Southeast Peninsula? A place of chaos?! Zhou Wen had already exclaimed.

And Sun Jie, who didn't know very well, immediately asked: "I know that the Southeast Peninsula is a place of chaos, but what is surprising about this place?" Isn't it a small place where there are many forces and often change the banner of the king? Do we need to be afraid of them? ”

Zhou Wen knocked Sun Jie's head hard: "Small place? The southeast peninsula is two or three million square kilometers! And you also said that there are many forces. From time to time, the banner of the king is changed, and you say that whenever a force ends, what will happen to the soldiers of the original force? ”

"Annexation by the superseded forces?" Sun Jie touched his head and said carefully.

Zhou Wen shouted: "How many have been annexed, and what about those who are unwilling to vote for the new master?" They're going to be rogues! Think about it, after the change of power on the southeast peninsula, how many people will become rogues! ”

"The forces that erected the banner of the king on the southeast peninsula are not terrible, but what is terrible is that these have lost their masters. A rogue who can do anything without constraints! ”

Dio sighed and said: "I hope that the small fish village in the adult's territory will not cling to the southeast peninsula, otherwise it will be in trouble, and it will definitely be the first target of the rogue robbery." ”

Hearing that his territory was so pitiful, even if he didn't care about anything, Zhao Hu couldn't help but sigh.

Seeing Zhao Hu's appearance, Dio hurriedly comforted: "Anyway, the order is that the adults should live in the territory for more than a year, let's go and take a look, maybe the territory is close to the inland side." ”

"By the way, the adults must take this territory certificate to the military headquarters to report, otherwise if you don't report to the army for a long time, I'm afraid you will be in trouble."

Zhao Hu nodded: "Well, there's no need to waste time, let's go to the military headquarters to report now." ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, they didn't expect the adults to be so anxious, but they thought that there was nothing to do to stay in the imperial capital, and the consumption here was so expensive, it was better to go to the territory early.

Dio suddenly remembered something and asked: "My lord, please wait, your personal guard quota is one hundred and thirty, although those servant soldiers can be counted, but they are not Imperial people, it is not convenient to go out for anything, it is better to recruit Imperial people, it is better to fill the remaining quota in the imperial capital, right?" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Hu frowned and said, "It's good, it's just that when I was promoted to major, I didn't receive the previous permission to recruit guards." ”

"If you don't have a letter of permission, wouldn't you have to recruit only locally in the unit where you are serving?" Zhou Wen asked, and after seeing Dio nodding, Zhou Wen immediately said reluctantly: "Really, why can't it be done this time?" Unfortunately, I thought I could find a few men to take care of it. ”

"My lord, why don't you go and visit the major of the logistics department last time? If the gold coins open the way, the adults should be able to recruit those officials and slaves again, and people like us will definitely have a higher loyalty to the adults than those who recruit them! Dio suggested.

Although Zhou Wen and Sun Jie both wanted to boast of their loyalty, it was a bit weird to think of doing so, so they could only nod their heads in agreement.

Thinking of the previous decision, and also understanding that there are many capable characters in the official slaves, Zhao Hu immediately nodded in approval, but he was still a little worried: "Will this violate the regulations?" ”

Dio shook his head with a smile and said: "We are buying * official slaves, not recruiting guards, it is not a violation of the regulations, and spending some money to turn these official slaves into guards, no one is gossiping." ”

"Alright, that's it."

After Zhao Hu confirmed, everyone didn't say a word, and left the hotel neatly.

After Zhao Hu reported to the military department, he immediately went to the logistics department, and when the major of the logistics department recognized Zhao Hu, he was immediately dumbfounded, and his eyes were staring at the rank of major on Zhao Hu's shoulder.

He couldn't help but wail in his heart: "It's unreasonable, how long has this guy been a second lieutenant, and he has become a major in just over a year!" I spent more than ten years trying to become a major! It's really that everything goes smoothly if you have a backer, and it's hard to move an inch without a backer! ”
