The faces of those on the list are colorful, and the names on the list sigh, and as for those whose warships are destroyed...... None of them existed, so there could be no expression. Of course, these dead retainers, the fiefs automatically return to the head of the family as a rule. However, all of them had the same expression, that is, they were shocked by Tang Long's exploit in destroying 16 warships.

Tang Naven excitedly took out his electronic pen, thought about it on the map and drew a circle, and then said to Tang Long: "Family General Tang Long, in addition to the prescribed rewards, this prince will also give you a special reward for your outstanding martial arts, from now on, the three cities of Haicheng, Yecheng, and Wencheng, as well as the 20 million acres of land above and the people on it are all sealed to you, I hope you will make persistent efforts in the future!" ”

Although Tang Long was not very satisfied with the 2,000 square kilometers of this area, because the area was not as large as his expanded base, in order not to leave a bad impression on everyone, especially Tang Naven, he still left his seat very quickly, and ran to the center of the main hall with a respectful and excited expression, lying on the ground and saying words of gratitude to the head of the family in a very grateful tone.

Don Navin was very satisfied with Tang Long's performance, and it was in order to enjoy this that he would divide all the people so carefully. The other retainers were envious of Tang Long's acquisition of so many fiefs, and on the other hand, they were disgusted by Tang Long's extremely numb words, and in their hearts, Tang Long had been branded with such a mark of sycophancy.

Tang Long, who returned to his seat, was no longer in the mood to listen to how many acres of land others had sealed, but watched boredly as Yuna pressed the button on the table to help him inspect the situation of the fiefdom. In fact, he didn't have to look at it much, the omnipotent No. 2 Star Zero had already obtained all the information of Tang Long's fiefdom first.

No. 2 Xingling said with a grin: "Tang Long, 70% of your fiefdom is plain area, 20% is hilly area, and the remaining 10% is coastal, and the population of your fief is more than 3 million people, of which 2 million people are concentrated in 3 cities, and the remaining 1 million people are scattered all over the place. The assets on your fiefdom include 5 fish farms, 12 livestock farms, 1 smelter, 3 giant fishing boats, and a 10-storey building with a total area of 10,000 square meters. Of course, those 2,000 square kilometers of land are yours, and you can develop whatever you want. Your total annual income is more than 5 billion Wulai coins, which includes all kinds of taxes and all the income of those factories, and after deducting the salaries and other funds that should be paid every year, your annual income is only about 2 billion. ”

Tang Long nodded speechlessly, if he was still a soldier, an annual income of 2 billion would probably make him so excited that he would die of cerebral congestion, right? But for himself, who now has trillions of funds in Kari, and every time he uses money, he is in hundreds of millions, and these 2 billion are not enough to build an ammunition storage warehouse. Alas, the money in the card will be used less and less, only the money of the fief is a long stream, it seems that he has to find a way to get more fiefs, especially to find a way to increase the income of the fiefdom.

Desperately trying to think of Tang Long, whose head was about to turn into paste, finally waited until the meeting was over, and then forbearance and a few words to the head of the family, took his military card, and left this wide council hall.

Tang Long ran back to the Meteorite first, and after reporting his situation to the female soldiers, he took 50 landing craft and landed directly on the coast of his fiefdom without passing through the spaceport.

Tang Long, who got off the landing craft, looked at the several dilapidated artificial fishing boats on the seashore in amazement, as well as the few dilapidated houses on the shore. The female soldiers who were originally giggling also became like Tang Long after getting off the landing craft, because they saw hundreds of fishermen in tattered clothes on the fishing boat, gritting their teeth and pulling fishing nets to catch fish.

Tang Long swallowed his saliva and asked Yuna beside him a little puzzled, "Have I returned to ancient times?" ”

Yuna shook her head, pointed to a tall and well-equipped hovering fishing boat not far away, and said, "Probably not, isn't that ship very advanced?" ”

Tang Long looked at the advanced fishing boat, and then at the dilapidated fishing boats, and asked in disbelief, "Why is there such a disparity between the two sides?" ”

Before Yuna could reply, several patrol boats playing rock music came quickly from a distance, this speedboat that could have floated in the air, deliberately flying close to the water, and the waves stirred up the dilapidated fishing boats to stagger, not only did people fall into the water, but half of the fish they had worked so hard to catch also fell back into the water.

Tang Long, whose eyes were sharp-eyed, was surprised to find that those fishermen did not have hatred for those patrol boats on their faces, but looked at the fish that had regained their freedom in the water with a sad and angry face.

Just when Tang Long wondered why such an expression appeared on the fisherman's face, the speedboats spotted Tang Long's 50 landing craft, and it was obvious that the speedboats paused suddenly, and then slowly leaned over as if they were hesitating. At this moment, Tang Long found that those fishermen had started fishing again, and for those very conspicuous people like him, the fishermen didn't even look this way.

The speedboat approached the front and back, a young man who was a little arrogant between his eyebrows, but forcibly lowered his eyebrows, looked at Tang Long and these people, although his eyes lit up after seeing so many beautiful women, but he quickly lowered his eyes, and asked Tang Long very carefully: "Is it Lord Tang Long?" ”

"I am." Tang Long stepped forward and said.

"Peng Wenfeng, a subordinate soldier, belongs to the 023rd squad of the Haicheng Patrol Brigade, see the lord!" The young man immediately raised his head and saluted after hearing Tang Long's words. The soldiers on the patrol boat who were originally probing their brains immediately jumped on the deck and saluted Tang Long as soon as they heard the commander's words.

"My lord?" Tang Long was stunned for a moment, and only after Yuna's reminder did he realize that the officials in his fiefdom were all his own retainers, and after knowing that these people were his subordinates, Tang Long pointed to those fishing boats and asked unceremoniously: "Well, you are from the patrol brigade, why do you interfere with the fishermen's fishing?" ”

Peng Wenfeng was stunned for a moment, and then straightened his chest and said: "The subordinates are safeguarding the rights and interests of the lord!" ”

"My rights? What are the benefits? Tang Long was puzzled.

"Uh......" Peng Wenfeng glanced at Tang Long carefully, then pointed to the modern fishing boat in the distance and said: "That's your fishing boat, in order to prevent those untouchables and adults from snatching the amount of fish, so we ......"

Tang Long roared angrily: "Fart! Lao Tzu only obtained this fief today, and judging by your performance, it doesn't seem like a day or two to do these things. What do you say that you don't want to grab the amount of fish, is there a distinction between fishermen and lords in this area? ”

Peng Wenfeng swallowed his saliva, and then plucked up his courage and said: "There is such a division, because the adults who own the fief can legally monopolize all the resources in the fiefdom, we have been taught to safeguard the rights and interests of the Tang family since we joined the Tang family, and the rights and interests of the lord are the rights and interests of the Tang family." ”

When Tang Long heard this, he asked in surprise, "You mean that the lord can compete with the people for resources?" ”

Peng Wenfeng glanced at Tang Long in a little surprise, and then nodded.

At this time, the No. 2 Star Zero, who had recollected the information, said to Tang Long: "I hacked into the Tang family's main computer just now to find out, most of the resources of Zhongzhou Star are in the hands of the Tang family's family masters and retainers, and only a very small part are in the hands of the people. Ordinary people either rely on that little resource to live, or they depend on the Tang family to live. The Tang family owned a fief of one soldier, and in addition to 100 soldiers, there were hundreds of tenant farmers. Like in your fiefdom, there are probably a million tenant farmers, and the remaining two million are semi-unemployed. ”

Tang Long was speechless, how did he know that the Tang family's family system was actually no different from the feudal system, he didn't expect that a lord could not only occupy all the resources in the territory alone, but also have countless tenant farmers. Is this still the age of the universe? It's like going back in time to the old days of farming! I want so many tenant farmers to have a fart! And you can't increase taxes!

How much money can such a territory and its people create for me? No matter how much money the lord has, there is no more place, how can the people increase taxes if they are not rich? If the lord is allowed to monopolize the resources, the tax revenue for the next year may not even be able to afford even the lowest-level warship. No way! I'm going to have to change all of that, at least a month's tax dollars to buy a ship like the Meteorite! And Lao Tzu doesn't want to be a lord, what Lao Tzu wants is this planet! If I don't let the people get rich, how can the people support me?

In order to allow the tax of his own territory to buy warships, and in order to gain the support of the people, Tang Long made a decision. After thinking for a while, his eyes lit up and he ordered Peng Wenfeng: "You immediately send an order to all the retainers and soldiers in my territory, ordering them to immediately go to Haicheng City to gather the political axe. After speaking, without waiting for Peng Wenfeng to answer, he turned around and got on the landing craft. When Tang Long's female soldiers heard this, they immediately knew that Tang Long was going to do something big, and they also hurriedly ran to the landing craft. After a while, 50 landing craft flew out of the atmosphere under Peng Wenfeng's unbelievable gaze.

"Captain, you said that since the lord wants to gather the retainers and soldiers in the territory, why did he go to space?" A soldier who looked up at the departure of the landing craft asked strangely.

"He's going to drive a battleship!" Peng Wenfeng couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the cold light in Tang Long's eyes when he left.

"Open a battleship? What is he doing with a battleship? Do you want to destroy us? We didn't offend him. The soldier asked, surprised.

Peng Wenfeng shook his head and said, "It's unlikely that he wants to destroy us, after all, he has just become a lord, but it's very similar to driving a battleship to demonstrate." Okay, if you don't want to die, go and inform all the officials and soldiers to assemble in Haicheng! The ghost knows if that lord is easy to kill, everyone has it in these years, don't ask for trouble! Saying that, the soldiers looked at each other and hurried into the speedboat. After a while, the speedboats were flying away.

The town hall in the center of Haicheng was crowded with people inside and out, and inside the city hall were all retainers with the rank of family soldier or above, and outside were armed soldiers under the control of these retainers. Soldiers were able to stand quietly in line on the square at the entrance of the town hall, while those retainers above the rank of soldier walked around the town hall, asking each other for news. However, these retainers are clearly divided into three groups.

Let's talk about the Tang family's system here, the retainers of the Tang family are divided into the direct retainers of the head of the family and the retainers of foreign subordinates, and those who can participate in the meeting of the council hall are the direct retainers of the head of the family, so those lowest-level family soldiers only appear at the meeting. Only retainers above the rank of Jiaqu can have their own direct retainers, like those who sit around them in the conference hall are their direct retainers.

Generally, the family song can have a maximum of 2 family songs, 10 family soldiers, and the family department can have up to 2 family songs, 10 family members, and 50 family soldiers, of course, if you can't afford it, you don't want a retainer, but I believe that no one will do this, after all, the number of retainers represents the strength of the strength. As for the retainers above the general, as long as he can afford to raise them, he can have countless retainers, and the general head of the family will not take care of it, because all the expenses are paid by the lords of those retainers themselves.

Why did Tang Long have so many retainers? Mainly because the original owners of his three cities were all killed in battle, and the retainers who did not die became ownerless retainers, and they could only stay in the original fiefdom helplessly. When the head of the family assigned these three cities to Tang Long, these people naturally became Tang Long's direct retainers.

"You say that our new lord has gathered us together, so why do you have to gather all the soldiers? Wouldn't it be trying to replenish his immediate forces with our soldiers? An obese middle-aged man in one of the group asked the person next to him, touching his beard.

Hearing this, the retainers of the three piles shouted in panic: "Won't it? How can the lord do this? ”

A middle-aged man with a thin chin shook his head and said: "It's hard to say, you must know that the original lord's direct troops have followed the first lord to die in battle, and now the lord's direct troops don't exist at all, who does not want to be with us." ”

An ordinary-looking middle-aged man was puzzled and said: "The fiefdom of the new lord is three cities, don't the other two cities have the original city defense troops?" ”

When the other two groups of retainers heard this, they sighed at the same time: "The troops directly under the Ancestor on our side also died in the battle with the Ancestor Lord, except for a few patrol boats, there are no direct troops. ”

The fat man looked at the people around him and whispered: "Why don't we protest collectively, our soldiers are all trained by us ourselves, and we are asked to go by the lord like this, isn't it ......" Seeing that everyone looked at him a little embarrassed, he couldn't help but continue: "Anyway, what the lord wants is to establish his direct troops, we just need to help the lord complete this task, I believe that the newcomer will not embarrass us much, right?" After all, he still needs us to rule this area. Hearing this, the retainers all nodded in agreement, as long as the lord can be made not to have his own soldiers, everything else is easy to say.

At this time, among the retainers in Haicheng, a young voice resounded throughout the council hall: "I said my lords, it seems that everyone has forgotten that although we are nominally the direct retainers of the new lord, in fact, the lord does not know us at all, don't forget that the family rules stipulate that the lord can expel his direct retainers." If he fires us all, our fiefdoms, soldiers, property, and so on will be gone in no time. It was Peng Wenfeng of the patrol who said this.

Although these retainers also have their own territories, they are not given by the head of the Tang family, but by their original lord, so Tang Long, who has become their new lord, of course has the right to take back the fief.

The hearts of all the retainers jumped, that's right, their future is still very slim, and they are actually planning how to calculate the lord who can control his life? Isn't this looking for death?

Seeing that the retainers all had contemplative expressions on their faces, the fat man couldn't help but argue: "Expelle us? We were fired, how can the lord manage this area? ”

Peng Wenfeng sneered: "Didn't you read the Di newspaper? The lord destroyed 16 enemy ships to obtain the current fief, and it is said that the lord's warship is 2650 meters long, 1780 meters wide, 1180 meters thick, and has 3000 guns. Even if the lord doesn't use the soldiers on the battleship, aren't the people in these three cities who are willing to become the lord's retainers still grab a handful? Why worry about no one to run the fiefdom? ”

Hearing this, all the retainers were silent, everyone knew that such a huge warship, not to mention that there was no entire family, even the entire chaotic galaxy was probably not a few. With such a battleship, it is conceivable that his future martial arts will definitely be more and more huge, and the reward will be more and more generous, if the Tang family occupies other planets, I am afraid that the lord's fief will be a planet.

The retainers, who were all concerned about their own interests, immediately changed their minds and began to decide that if the lord proposed to establish a direct army, they would hand over all the soldiers under his command in order to make a good impression on the lord. In this way, when the lord divides the seal in the future, he will definitely be the first to think of himself!

Just as the retainers began to think about how to make a good impression on Tang Long, they suddenly noticed that the surroundings had become dark, and the soldiers who were quiet outside had also begun to scratch, and they immediately ran out of the city hall without knowing what was going on. When they looked up at the sky, they were all stunned, because a huge battleship was hovering over the town hall, and the dense barrels at the bottom of the battleship were moving irregularly up, down, left and right.

Donnaven, who received the report that Tang Long drove the battleship into the territory, was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he smiled and muttered, "It's still too tender, and he actually wants to use force to coerce his own retainers." He waved his hand for the defense officer to step back and ignore the matter.
