Chapter Ninety-Six: To the Fiefdom

"Turag? What is that place? Hearing that the Great Emperor was going to reward Turag as a fief to himself, Shi Feng looked confused. He hadn't heard of Turag, of course, this was also because he had been on this planet for too short, and most of the time was spent cultivating and spending time in the Light and Dark Forest, and he didn't know too much about the basic situation in the empire.

"Turag is a place name, about a hundred miles in radius, named after a mountain called Tulag, Turag is close to the territory of elves and dwarves, and there is a lot of produce, if you want to know more about it, I can have people take out all the information about Tulag. Now, let me ask you again, do you want the Turag to be your fiefdom? If you don't, this time you have done a great job, and I can only give you some gold coins and materials as a reward. The Emperor asked again after giving a general explanation of Turag.

"What benefits do I get if I choose Turag as my territory?" Shi Feng didn't immediately agree, but asked rhetorically.

"What kind of benefits do you want? I can say it, if it's not too much, I can fully promise you, even if I can't fully agree to you, we can discuss it. The Emperor said with a smile. The information of the improved magic cannon is too important to the empire, even if it is to give Shi Feng some more benefits, it doesn't matter, but it can't be too much.

"I've heard that each fief has taxes, as well as its own army, and personnel appointments and dismissals within the fiefdom. I don't have many requirements, tax exemption for fifty years, only half of the tax after fifty years, in addition, I need 10,000 elite soldiers, at least 8,000 heavy armor soldiers and cavalry, the remaining 1,500 archers, 500 magicians of different castes, the strength of which cannot be lower than that of the Magister, and all personnel appointments and dismissals in the fiefdom are in my decision. Shi Feng pondered for a moment and said what he requested.

"No, these requests are too much, I can't say yes. Taxes can only be exempted for a maximum of ten years, and after ten years, they will return to their original level, and the army cannot have so many people, at most five thousand, five hundred cavalry, three thousand five hundred infantry, seven hundred archers, and the rest are magicians at the level of magic masters. Listening to Shi Feng's request, the Great Emperor immediately shook his head, did not agree, but said the bottom line that he could directly bear.

"Ten years of tax exemption is okay, but after ten years, I hope that the annual tax revenue will only be 10% of the fiefdom tax, in addition, 5,000 elite soldiers, at least 1,000 cavalry, 2,000 infantry, the remaining 1,000 I want 300 magicians with earth surnames who have reached the magister level, 200 mages with fire surnames who have reached the magistur level, 200 magicians with water surnames at the magistur level, and the rest are all archers, and besides, we must add the ten-year quartermaster of these armies." Shi Feng began to bargain.

After some bargaining, the two sides reached an important agreement, fifteen years of tax exemption, fifteen years after the annual tax collection of thirty percent, five thousand elite soldiers, eight hundred heavy cavalry, two hundred light cavalry, six hundred magicians at the level of the Magister, three hundred with the surname of earth, one hundred and fifteen with the surname of fire, one hundred and five with the surname of water, four hundred archers, and the remaining three thousand are all infantry, in addition, the emperor promised Shi Feng that he would supply Shi Feng's army for free for three years of various military supplies.

Satisfied, after putting away the letter of appointment and various treaties signed by the emperor himself, Shi Feng happily left the palace with all the information about the sealing of the maplag.

"Is this information real?" As soon as Shi Feng left, the emperor immediately came to a well-guarded place in the palace, where dozens of alchemy masters specially trained by the royal family lived, these alchemy masters were loyal to the royal family, and many secret weapons and equipment were made by these alchemy masters. This time, the information of the improved magic energy cannon sent by Shi Feng was sent here by the Emperor as soon as he got it, so that the alchemy master here could study it to see if it was true, although Shi Feng dared to take it out, it was impossible to falsify, but the Emperor still carefully wanted to verify it.

"It should be true, we studied it after getting the information, and thought that the various improvement methods mentioned in these materials are indeed feasible, and now, we have begun to make a magic cannon according to the content of the information, however, the improved magic cannon is a little troublesome to make, I'm afraid it will take one to two days to complete the production, which is still dozens of us working together to make it. Once we've made a magic cannon, we can experiment with how powerful the improved one really is. Hearing the Emperor's question, an alchemy master said.

"Speed up as fast as possible, and once the improved magic cannon is made, tell me right away, I want to see with my own eyes how powerful the magic cannon really is." The Emperor said in a deep voice. If the improved magic energy cannon was really as strong as Shi Feng said, then the things that Shi Feng wanted were nothing at all. If Shi Feng hadn't said it as strongly, he wouldn't have spared Shi Feng lightly, and the things he promised would probably be reduced a lot.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The alchemy master nodded and said. The alchemy masters like them are completely different from the alchemy masters in the Alchemist Guild, and there is almost no freedom at all, because they are cultivated by the royal family, and they can only obey the orders of the royal family in their lives, unless there is some great merit that can allow them to end this life and restore their freedom.

"Is this a letter of appointment signed by His Majesty? And these treaties too? Listening to Shi Feng talking about everything that happened in the palace, and seeing the appointment letter and treaty that Shi Feng took out from the spatial ring, Shui Rourou and Fang Yongyong were very curious.

"That's right, we now have a fiefdom, and we've got other benefits." Shi Feng nodded and said. "In a few days, if you want, we can go to the fiefdom, I heard that it is close to the elves and dwarves, and when you get there, you can see the elves and dwarves."

"Why wait a few more days?" Fang Yongyong asked a little puzzled. "Can't we leave tomorrow?"

"I'm afraid not, this time we want to go to the territory, we need to bring a lot of things, and the five thousand elite soldiers will also follow us, it will take a certain amount of time to gather these elite soldiers, and besides, the emperor has just obtained the information of the improved magic cannon, how can he not make it to try the power, if it does not meet the power I said, I'm afraid, the matter of the fief will be ruined, so, no matter what, we will have to wait a few days if we want to go to the fiefdom." Shi Feng explained.

"I see." Fang Yongyong nodded and said. She didn't think about it that much, she just wanted to go to the fiefdom as soon as possible, which was now their territory.

"You said the details of the back cover have been brought back, where? I'll take a look first. "Shui Rourou but I am not so happy, now they have not arrived in the fiefdom, it can be said that they do not know the slightest about the situation there, if it passes like this, I am afraid it will be very difficult to manage.

"I brought it back, and there was a lot of information, and it was very complete, so I didn't take it out, and I thought I'd take a look at it when I had time in the future." Shi Feng nodded and said.

"Leave it to me, I'll take a look first, find out the situation there, and then discuss the things in the fiefdom when we are about to leave." Shui Rourou said with a smile. She has rich management experience, although she only manages the auction house, but there is not much difference between the fief and the auction house, it is nothing more than a management matter, as long as you grasp the general direction, as for those details, there are naturally subordinates to do it, otherwise, it is all pressed on Shui Rourou alone, tired and tired, and what do you want those subordinates to do.

"Thank you for your hard work." Taking out all the stacks of information about the sealed map of Lager, Shi Feng said to Shui Rourou.

"Nothing." Shui Rourou said with a smile, but after seeing the information that Shi Feng took out, her brows still frowned slightly, Shi Feng took out too much information, so many materials, I am afraid it is impossible to read them all in more than ten days.

Just when Shui Rourou was struggling with the information of the sealed map, Fang Yongyong was still researching and improving the magic energy, and Shi Feng was still idle, those alchemy masters in the palace finally succeeded in making the improved magic energy cannon, and reported the news to the emperor as soon as possible.

"Your Majesty, now that the improved magic cannon has been made, you can test the power of the improved magic cannon at any time, please give your majesty an order." After the arrival of the Emperor, an alchemy master walked up to the Emperor and said.

"Let's experiment now, I can't wait." The Emperor said with a smile. In the past two days, Te has not rested well, and every day he imagines how powerful the improved magic cannon is.

"I promise to surprise Your Majesty. I have to say that the alchemy master who improved the magic energy cannon is really too genius to think of such a magical improvement method, and I think that there should be a lot of room for improvement in this improvement method, but some problems need to be solved, otherwise, the magic energy cannon can only reach this level now. The alchemy master said in admiration. He has been an alchemy master for so many years, and he has never seen the works of such a genius and thoughtful alchemist.

"You're saying there's room for improvement in this magic cannon?" Listening to the words of the alchemy master, the Great Emperor was very excited. It would be even better if he could really increase the power of the magic cannon, and it would also help him a lot in his plans.

"Yes, but it will take a long time to solve those problems." The alchemy master nodded and said.

"Let's take a look at what kind of power the improved magic cannon has, right? If you are satisfied, you will divide some of you and make every effort to improve the magic cannon, and strive to increase the power of the magic cannon to the limit. "The Emperor gave the order.

"Yes." The alchemy master nodded and said.

Except for the alchemy master and the emperor here who knew the results of this experiment, no one knew how powerful the improved magic energy cannon was, but it could be seen from the smile on the emperor's face after he left and the large number of materials for making magic energy cannons that people immediately sent here that the improved magic energy cannon made the emperor very satisfied.

As soon as the emperor was happy, Shi Feng's five thousand elite soldiers were assembled in a short time, Shi Feng and the others packed their bags and prepared to leave Yanjing with these five thousand elite soldiers and go to the fiefdom.
