Chapter 564: Increasing Officials and Becoming Knights

It was almost five days since he left the Five Elements Realm, and there were more than two days equivalent to the number of days in the Five Elements Realm, and Lin Chenyi had just passed over and received a reply from the Ethereal Dynasty.

Time and space changed, Lin Chenyi felt the return of strength again, and an unprecedented sense of security came to his heart, and the strong aura could not be contained for a while, which suddenly alarmed Huzi and the city defense troops of Donghai City.

"The Boss is back!"

Huzi and the others glanced at each other and were secretly surprised.

The aura here naturally alarmed the five city defense officials of Donghai City, Yunmo was the most active, and followed the footsteps of Huzi with a whoosh, and before Lin Chenyi could get used to it, he was dumbfounded to find that there were people standing in front of him.

Lin Chenyi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why are you doing it, am I so popular......

Yunmo said embarrassedly: "That...... Lin Xiaoyou, where have you been these days, the appointment letter of the dynasty has come down, and I am waiting for you to reply......"

Of course, Zhang Hao had already taken advantage of this time to tell Lin Chenyi the ins and outs of the matter.

It turned out that not long after Lin Chenyi left, Yun Mo learned from his colleagues in the Soul Burial Battlefield and Yun Ethereal that they had epoch-making weapons and technology in their hands, and they could play a decisive role in the war, so he was very moved.

Although Lin Chenyi had instructed him to properly contact the people of the Ethereal Dynasty, when it came to the core secret, Zhang Hao had not been able to be the master, and he had negotiated with the representatives sent by the Ethereal Dynasty for several days without substantial progress.

In view of Lin Chenyi's excellent performance in the Secret Realm of Burial Souls and the importance of weapon technology, the throne immediately decided to grant Lin Chenyi the title of Duke of Duke, hereditary replacement, and the territory can be chosen, as long as it is not the core area, it can be satisfied.

In exchange, the Ethereal Dynasty had the right of first refusal and sole possession of all of Lin Chenyi's technology for a limited time.

The throne of the Ethereal Dynasty is far-sighted, and it knows that with the ability of the Ethereal Dynasty to completely control the command of advanced weapons and provoke the entire Eastern Regions, it is better to stay ahead, so that the Ethereal Dynasty will play an important role in the new round of resource allocation.

Sure enough, Yunmo announced the royal decree on behalf of the Ethereal Dynasty, and asked in a consultative tone: "Duke Lin, which territory do you need from the Ethereal Dynasty, the throne is very tolerant of this condition, you must know that even the prince who is second only to the throne can decide the location of the territory independently." ”

The Ethereal Dynasty implemented a parallel system of official positions and titles, with official positions being divided into one to nine grades, with one rank being the highest and nine grades being the lowest, while titles were the highest for kings and the lowest for barons.

The advantage of this is that it separates officials from the emperor's relatives and relatives, and avoids chaos in the government to the greatest extent.

Nobles with titles and fiefs enjoy a high degree of autonomy in their territories, but in terms of power, those who can participate in state affairs also need official ranks.

The official position cannot be hereditary, and the capable live in it, and the two do not conflict, so officials who want more benefits will desperately make achievements to seek the title, and the nobles with the title also need to work hard to be able to tilt the power of the government and the opposition, otherwise the title will even be automatically demoted one level after each generation.

It can be said that this system twists the nobles and officials into one force to the greatest extent, and jointly works for the Ethereal Dynasty, even if he is a free marquis, he must have enough financial resources to contribute to the Ethereal Dynasty so that it will not be weakened.

Therefore, Lin Chenyi asked for a title, and Yun Miao was actually relieved, but in view of the importance of the former, Yun Miao did not dare to make decisions without permission, but he did not expect the throne to attach so much importance to Lin Chenyi, and directly gave the duke and the conditions for free choice of fiefdom.

This is what Lin Chenyi wants, Guanlong Island is his big rear, it is his refuge, he needs to have a reliable springboard in the Canglong Continent in order to develop better, and it is a good choice to accept the olive branch of the Ethereal Dynasty.

So, Lin Chenyi said a little helplessly: "Chief Yun, do you have a map for me to refer to, I can't choose one out of thin air, right?" ”

Lin Chenyi's words were equivalent to indirectly accepting this condition, and seeing this, Yunmo was overjoyed and said: "Yes, come here, submit the map......"

Donghai City naturally has a map of the entire territory of the Ethereal Dynasty, and Yunmo gave Lin Chenyi a map spliced together with more than a dozen huge pieces of parchment, which is very flexible, although it lacks modern technology, it is much longer than ordinary paper.

Lin Chenyi motioned to Zhang Hao and them to follow the staff as well, and after a while, they secretly exchanged views on a rear city called Binhai City.

Yunmo immediately smiled bitterly and said: "Duke Lin, you are really good at picking, this coastal city and even the famous economic city of the Ethereal Dynasty, the city and the surrounding subsidiary territories span more than 100 kilometers across the sea, and 30 of my country's seafood are from the coastal city, if you want to take it for yourself, I am afraid it will be difficult." ”

Lin Chenyi smiled and said: "The title of your dynasty is not as powerful as the official in power, although you can have a private army and enjoy a high degree of autonomy over the fief, but if you want to mobilize the soldiers and horses of the fief, unless there are special circumstances, you can't help but cooperate with you."

If I find it difficult, then I can prove the value of our people and the technology we have......"

Yunmo was a little curious: "It's so good, Duke Lin chose Binhai City as a fief, this matter is not trivial, I'm afraid there will be people in the court who oppose it." ”

Lin Chenyi said meaningfully: "I have another purpose in choosing Binhai City, Mr. Yun might as well take a closer look at the map......

Yunmo was stunned for a moment, glanced at the map, and then suddenly said: "I see, Donghai City and Binhai City are adjacent to each other, if Duke Lin uses Binhai City as a fief, we can help each other in the future!" ”

How can you help each other, of course, it is a weapon support!

For Lin Chenyi's subordinates, although everyone's strength and potential are outstanding, where can they compare to thousands of troops, only those strange-shaped weapons can attract Yunmo's attention.

Obviously, they will have the initiative in the next distribution of interests adjacent to Marina City.

How else to say that only interests can reach a consensus, the general soldiers who originally felt that it was difficult suddenly showed joy, glanced at each other, and faintly reached some kind of tacit understanding, that is, to stand for Lin Chenyi!

Don't underestimate the five general soldiers, they can be lined up in the border city to guard, their ability is naturally not weak, and the most important thing is that they are all from various factions, and their status in the faction is definitely not low.

Like Yunmo, he is the strength of the out-of-body period, enjoying the treatment of the duke title and the third-grade general soldier, plus the faction behind him, even the powerful people in the officialdom have to weigh whether they can bear the anger of the five out-of-body periods.

Although the faction of the Ethereal Dynasty is also involved in governing the dynasty, it exists more as a deterrent, so ordinary people who are officials in the Ethereal Dynasty abound, and even the Minister of Military Aircraft is still an ordinary person, and he is equipped with two guards who have an out-of-body period to lead the team.

But even so, this world is about fists after all, so if the factions of the Ethereal Dynasty make a move, these powerful people in the official face will definitely be afraid.

Of course, the specifics will definitely not be so simple, the officialdom of the Ethereal Dynasty is very complicated, there are grassroots, there are princelings, unless the major factions unite, it is also difficult to disturb the officialdom, and Yunmo They just want to push it.
