Sun Jie sighed when he heard this: "Since they are all the poorest places, it is better to seal them in Haibin Province, after all, it is more convenient for adults to inspect their own territory." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Zhao Hu smiled and wanted to say something, when suddenly a soldier dressed as a city guard came forward and saluted, "Major Zhao Hu?" ”

Zhao Hu replied: "I am." ”

"Please report to the main gate of the Imperial City immediately."

After the soldier finished speaking, he was about to leave, but Dio hurriedly stopped and secretly stuffed a gold coin and asked, "This brother, I don't know what my lord needs to do to go to the imperial city?" ”

No one would think that entering the imperial city is to be summoned by His Majesty the Emperor, because if His Majesty the Emperor summons him, the person who comes to inform him will definitely be the internal official of the Imperial Palace, and there is also a holy decree, where will a small soldier be sent.

The originally expressionless soldier glanced at the gold coin in his hand and a smile appeared on his face: "You don't need to do anything, just issue a certificate of territory." ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, didn't they say that it would take a long time to confirm the territory? How can it only take a few days? Could it be that the Imperial Council is specially organized for adults?

Dio stuffed another gold coin and asked, "I wonder who has obtained the territory?" ”

The soldier who got two gold coins smiled on his face, which was equivalent to a month's military salary, and hurriedly replied: "All officers above the rank of colonel who have just been promoted in Beijing will go to the main gate of the imperial city to report." ”

Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized, it turned out that the Imperial Council was cooperating with the promotion order issued by the Military Command Department, could it be that the empire had any major actions that could not be achieved? Otherwise, these two meritorious departments would definitely not be so fast.

Zhao Hu and the others, who entered the inner city for the first time, were taken aback by the dense crowd of officers at the main gate of the imperial city before they had time to appreciate the magnificence of the imperial city.

All the officers present, but most of them were majors, maybe they were officers or they could be at the foot of the imperial city, the officers lined up very consciously, and no one spoke out loud in the whole scene.

As early as seeing that all the school officials were in line, Zhao Hu's five personal guards had already hid in the corner.

After Zhao Hu lined up to exchange his military status certificate for an imperial city pass, he finally understood that the issuance of the territory was to be carried out within the imperial city.

Zhao Hu and the others who came out of the imperial city, Dio immediately began the work of the housekeeper, first assigned Sun Jie to the logistics department to get the major's ceremonial military uniform and ceremonial sword, and then assigned Zhou Wen to tidy up Zhao Hu's appearance, that is, haircuts, shaves and other things.

After a busy time, everyone must be excited to wait for the arrival of the next day.

The next day, Zhao Hu, who was waiting for Zhou Wen to wear a new dress, got into a special carriage that could enter the imperial city.

Looking at Zhao Hu in the distance, Zhou Wen hugged his chest excitedly and said, "I'm really nervous, I don't know what territory adults can get?" I don't know if this territory is big? ”

Dio shook his head: "It's not big, the major's territory is also a village, generally speaking, it is an area of a few kilometers in length and width, but if there are no other villages within a hundred miles of this village, the area is huge and scary, but the officers who have such a territory are the most unlucky."

"Unlucky? How can it be unlucky? Anyway, you don't have to pay taxes, and the bigger the territory, the better. Sun Jie asked puzzled.

"Stupid! Although the officer's territory does not have to pay taxes, it is also responsible for guarding the territory, that is, the officer must at least ensure the integrity and safety of his territory, otherwise he will be demoted and repossessed of the territory. ”

"If you think about it, the territory of the officers is all canonized on the border, and they will run out of money and money at any time." Dio said helplessly.

Sun Jie was still puzzled: "Of course, your own territory must be protected by yourself, but what does this have to do with the bigger the territory, the more unlucky it is?" ”

Zhou Wen knocked Sun Jie's head: "You are stupid and don't know, since you are protecting the territory yourself, then you need to recruit the guards of the territory, the larger the territory area, the more guards you need to recruit, and the officers also need to invest in the construction of the territory, which means that the larger the territory, the more money you will invest." ”

"Think about how much money an officer can have? At the same time, officers can't stay in the territory for a long time, even if something happens in the territory, they can't grasp it at all, and the bigger the territory, the more troubles there will be, and then you will suddenly be demoted and the territory will be confiscated, and you may not understand what is going on. ”

Sun Jie was dumbfounded: "That's actually the case!" Isn't this the army paying for the villages that guard the borders of the empire themselves? No wonder as long as the empire directly governs the provinces and counties, other places are divided, I thought that the soldiers of our empire are the most comfortable, and a major can have a fief, it turns out that it is just a big wrong! ”

Dio smiled: "It can't be said that if the officer's territory is built, or the enemy's invasion is blocked, then the officer is likely to be canonized as a nobleman, not without such a precedent, otherwise the officer who is the boss of the wrongs would have refused to own the territory a long time ago." ”

"Aristocrats!" Zhou Wen and Sun Jie's eyes widened, they never thought that a simple soldier could have a chance to become a nobleman.

"Hehe, we now have so many gold coins, how can we build the adult's territory, okay?" Zhou Wen and Sun Jie glanced at each other, and asked Dio a little embarrassed.

Dio cocked his nose and said proudly: "Then it doesn't need to be said, there is me Dior...... Oh, with us here, we will definitely build the territory of adults into a prosperous town! As he spoke, all three of them burst out laughing.

The two brothers, Locke and Luo Fei, didn't know what the three people in front of them were talking about, and the only thought in their minds was what they should eat later.

Zhao Hu came to the main gate of the imperial city, followed the example of other school officials, and showed the Praetorian Guards the passage levy he received yesterday, and was immediately led into the imperial city by a Praetorian Guard.

After entering the so-called inner city gate, Zhao Hu found that the palace he originally thought was a city at all, not just a palace where the emperor lived.

Of course, these magnificent and splendid buildings only opened Zhao Hu's eyes, and there was nothing particularly shocking.

The Praetorian Guard, who originally wanted to watch Zhao Hu's shocked expression, was deeply disappointed when he found that Zhao Hu didn't care, but also put away his arrogant look, who knows what the origin of this little major is?

Looking at his appearance, it seems that he is used to seeing the architecture of the palace, and such a person who doesn't know the details can try not to provoke if he can.

Under the conscientious leadership of this soldier, Zhao Hu came to a complex of three huge palaces much faster than the others, and the soldier introduced: "Major Commander, this is the place where the officer's territory is granted, and the territory of the officers of the whole empire is received here. ”

Seeing Zhao Hu's expression and nodding freely, the soldier introduced again: "The palace in the middle is granted by the territory above the general, the one on the left is the territory of officers above the lieutenant colonel, and the one on the right is the territory of the major officer." ”

Zhao Hu nodded suddenly, no wonder the largest palace among them, no one goes in and out, and the smallest one is full of people, it seems that there are so many buildings in this imperial city, and even the territory is granted to such a thing, and three palaces are specially built according to the level.

"Thank you." Zhao Hu thanked the soldier, and as soon as the soldier wanted to leave, Zhao Hu immediately remembered that Dio reminded him to have a good relationship with the Praetorian Guards in the Imperial City, so he didn't think about it, and stuffed the money bag containing dozens of gold coins that Dio gave him for his pocket money, and stuffed it into the soldier.

Dio stuffed him with several money bags, each containing dozens of gold coins.

Who is that soldier? As soon as he took his hand, he knew what was in the money bag, and immediately put it into his arms with a quick movement, and a sincere smile appeared on his face.

He stepped forward and whispered in Zhao Hu's ear: "Please note, if you are not familiar with the Imperial Palace, it is best not to leave on your own after receiving the territory, and find us Praetorian Guards to guide you out, because if you leave by yourself, you may be led into a place where you can't enter by those evil-hearted internal officials, and cause trouble." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Hu nodded, and sighed in his heart: "It turns out that there is still this doorway, I believe that many officers who don't know the details have been tricked like this, right?" Dio was really prescient. ”

Entering the palace dedicated to the major's territory, there was not even a single chair in this palace, and all the majors stood in line like this, and then under the guidance of several internal officials, they entered the five inner rooms in order.

There were so many people standing here, and apart from a few arrogant-looking majors who were talking to each other, none of the others said a word.

These majors were obviously from noble backgrounds, otherwise they would not have been so rampant, and although their voices were low, in this silent place, everyone could still listen to them.

"I said, what do you think our territory is this time?"

"Whatever he is, how good can the major's officer territory be anyway? A year's income is not enough for a fraction of his father's fiefdom. ”

"That's not the case, although we are all nobles, but we have not yet obtained the transferred territory from the family, and now this fief is really our own, that is to say, we can be powerful in this territory, and those people in the family will not chirp crookedly, this is a territory that allows us to do whatever we want, you actually disdain it?"

"Please! Although this is the case, how can you also be responsible for the security and development of the territory, how much money and energy does it take? ”

"Anyway, I'm an only child, and I'm destined to inherit the family domain, so I don't have the time to manage those poor officer domains."

"Alas, why are you so brainless, inheriting the family title? Don't forget that the Imperial Nobility Law is a generation to a lord, do you want your descendants to become a baron? ”
