Chapter 198: Imperial Titles
"What?" Zhang Zhongjun asked curiously. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"At the beginning of the empire, there were only two kinds of noble titles, hereditary replacement and hereditary demotion, and the former was that future generations would inherit that title forever, such as the title of your Bali Pavilion man. The latter is a downgrade for the next generation, such as your father's loyal and brave uncle. ”
"But with the expansion of the empire's territory and the concentration of central power, the empire is becoming more and more reluctant to award these two titles, especially the actual nobles, which are no different from dividing the territory. Hereditary degraded titles, although they have no territory, but they also belong to the nobles with real power, and they are passed down from generation to generation, and the accumulated heritage is not a good thing for those in power. ”
"And these two titles are not knighted for non-military merits, and many civil officials can't get the title when they die of exhaustion, and they don't say it, but they must have a lot of complaints in their hearts, so slowly the first lord appeared. ”
"As the name suggests, no matter what title the recipient has, the title will be withdrawn after it is hung up, and the descendants still cannot be called nobles. Originally, this lord was specially set for civil officials. Later, the Emperor of Heaven discovered that this kind of title could reduce the appearance of nobles with real power, so he rewarded him greatly. ”
With the passage of time, this Shijue slowly spread from the civil official system, and was divided into empty jue for the rich and powerful of the people, a civil jue unique to civilian officials, and a military jue unique to the army. ”
"The titles of the Five Tigers of the Broken Gate and the White Horse Xiao Xifeng should be empty knights, and they only need to spend money to donate to the government, and then repair roads, bridges, and academies. Although this empty lord only has a name, after having the status of a nobleman, it will be much easier to do anything. ”
"You can actually spend money to buy a knighthood?!" Zhang Zhongjun was dumbfounded, because of his birth environment, he always thought that the title could only be obtained by military merits, and he could get the title of Bali Pavilion Man, which was also because of his father's blessing, don't look at him usually doesn't care much about his title, but he cherishes it very much in his heart.
Now that he knows that he can get it as long as he spends money, his fear and cherishing of the title will disappear directly, and he even feels that the title that his father got after the death of the Emperor of Heaven is a little unworthy! Speaking of money, Zhang Zhongjun is really not short of this goods!
"Don't compare the Void Jue with the Real Jue, right? The First Lord and the Real Title are very different! However, you don't have to pay so much attention to these, anyway, you know that this Bali Pavilion man is very awesome. The big frog pouted.
"Oh. Zhang Zhongjun responded casually, anyway, now I feel congested, I can't open the forest, and the title can be bought with money?
The big frog naturally knew Zhang Zhongjun's thoughts, but it didn't care, anyway, it knew that this real knight was very awesome in the empire, and the others didn't care, is the title a powerful cow without a title?
In this way, Zhang Zhongjun returned to his house with a wooden face, and the housekeeper's shouting and warmth only made him squeeze a smile, and when he entered the house, his mood was even worse, because Li Huamei was still asleep, if it weren't for the big frog's firm statement that this was the need for rapid growth, Zhang Zhongjun would probably have to slap the table.
There was still a period of time before the auction of Shangpin Pavilion began, and Zhang Zhongjun was not in the mood to go out and hang out, so he cultivated directly at home, and he could also take care of Li Huamei, who was still asleep.
Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it is the day when the auction of Shangpin Pavilion begins, looking at Li Huamei, who is still asleep, Zhang Zhongjun shook his head helplessly, if it weren't for this big beauty, the more she sleeps, the better, her skin is white and tender, her breathing is steady, and her hair is shiny, I am afraid that he would have been looking for a doctor everywhere.
During the period when she was in a coma, Zhang Zhongjun asked two female bean soldiers to help her freshen up every day, and also fed Yuan Zhu water to her after turning it into water with a special technique.
Originally, Zhang Zhongjun wanted to feed the whole Yuan Bead directly to Li Huamei so that she could maintain the energy needed by her body, but he stopped the big frog: "Stupid! You think she is you! She has not cultivated the exercises, and if she eats another Yuan Bead, it will not be an upgrade, but a direct explosion!"
Zhang Zhongjun gave up, but what made him speechless was that Li Huamei had been missing for so many days, and the Earl Li's family on the other side was actually the same as if there was no such thing, Zhang Zhongjun also specially sent someone to inquire about the news, and it turned out that Earl Li's family should do what it was, just like Li Huamei had never lived there.
Before, he was afraid that Count Li would worry about his daughter, so he struggled for a while whether to inform Count Li's family that Li Huamei was here, but now it seems that it is completely unnecessary.
If Li Huamei was awake, in this state of not being able to go home, it would be impossible for Zhang Zhongjun to let her stay at home alone, and she would definitely have to take her to Shangpin Pavilion, but now that she was still asleep, Zhang Zhongjun naturally had one less thing, took Xiaobai and the big frog, rode the vitality war horse, and went to Shangpin Pavilion leisurely.
He didn't prepare anything, he only wore his storage ring, and the things in it were still put in when he set off from Bali Pavilion, anyway, he just went to Shangpin Pavilion to meet with Xiao Dezi and get the contact information of the shadow gate, so it was a good idea to see how Shangpin Pavilion was auctioned, and if it happened, he could say hello to the five tigers who came to participate in the auction of Shangpin Pavilion.
As soon as he got to the street, Zhang Zhongjun found that today's inner city was different from yesterday, there were obviously more pedestrians, and the mounts were also strange, lizards, lions, tigers, leopards, pythons, giant eagles, rhinoceros and other animals, but the horses became a rarity.
"Huh, why are these powerful children who come back from another world riding more common mounts? I thought they would bring back some strange animals, such as the lion eagle you said, is that the other world not even as good as this world?" Zhang Zhongjun looked around with curiosity.
"It's not so easy for creatures from other worlds to enter this world, especially if they bring any germs, they can't turn into a plague, so in general, ordinary creatures are restricted from entering and leaving. Hey, boy, you see a lot of powerful children staring at your horses, go and show them off, and then abuse them well!" the big frog excitedly encouraged.
Accustomed to seeing the big frog's appearance of fearing that the world would not be chaotic, Zhang Zhongjun rolled his eyes, didn't bother to pay attention to him, and concentrated on riding his horse to Shangpin Pavilion, he is now clear that although his senior brother is very good to himself, his personality is a little bad, and he always likes to let himself cause trouble, as if he sees him in trouble, he will let it grow a few more pieces of meat.
With the croaking of the big frog along the way, Zhang Zhongjun came to Shangpin Pavilion.
