However, this tribute is exquisite, and it is necessary to hand over a copy every year, some are for a sum of money, some are for a batch of materials, and some are for a group of armed forces to serve the empire for a certain period of time. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

These are all determined by the actual situation of the fiefdom, for example, if your territory is very economical, then you will provide money. If you have a lot of resources in your territory, then you can supply resources. For example, if your territory is well balanced in all aspects, then send troops to serve in the Imperial Army for a while.

This thing looks very simple, you can give whatever you have in the territory, and you don't force people.

But there are a lot of rules in it, as long as you think about it, the tribute of each territory is determined by the court every year, and you will know how many hands and feet can be made in it.

Obviously, your territory is sparsely populated, but you are asked to supply force, and the army you managed to get out was pulled away, and it was hard to hold out until the service time was about to end, only to suddenly receive a report from the military that your troops were all wiped out when they participated in the suppression of bandits, which made you cry and couldn't cry.

Not only is your own combat power weakened, but you, the lord, are also responsible for the salaries and pensions of the troops when they serve the empire!

This is nothing, when you have nothing, suddenly a bandit group runs rampant in your territory, what do you do at this time?

Therefore, if you want your territory to be passed on to future generations, you must either take refuge in a certain big noble, or rent the territory directly to a big noble.

These are two different choices, one is to attach to a certain nobleman and become a vassal, that is, someone fights against the Emperor, and you have to follow. The other is that you don't have to worry about the territory, be a nobleman who is similar to an honorary nobleman, and live on a monthly rent.

Since the founding of the empire, there have been hundreds of thousands of actual nobles, but now the number of actual nobles in the entire court is less than tens of thousands. It is not so easy for a title of real nobleman to be passed on, and many real titles have not withstood the test of a long time and have disappeared.

Some of them were unlucky to be unlucky by foreigners, and they had no ability to solve it, so they had to let their territories be taken back by the empire, and some of them made people angry by their own sins, and were finally taken back by the empire.

In addition, there is a disaster from the sky, which is the kind of disaster in the real sense, such as earthquakes, floods, droughts, etc., which make the lord die or live, crying and shouting for the empire to take back the territory.

There is another thing that is contrary to the calamity that falls from the sky, that is, the auspiciousness of the sky.

It would be a tragedy if the territory suddenly discovered a rare mineral such as a yuan stone mine, and the amount was very huge, and the lord's strength was not enough to carry such a large amount of wealth......

For another example, when the empire was still in the pioneering period, some barren and remote territories were canonized, and after hundreds of years passed, it became the hinterland, but look at the terrain, relying on it, it just happened to be the gate of Gyeonggi!

The latter two were all personally sent out by the empire, doing everything possible to toss these unlucky lords, and then forcing people to obediently hand over the territory.

As for changing a piece of land? Just kidding, how many people in the empire are jealous of these real nobles! I can't wait to turn all the real nobles into honorary nobles, where will I give you a chance to make a comeback?

If you are sensible, let you be an honorary noble, and if you are not sensible, then wait for your family to be raided and exterminated.

This kind of thing that disgusted the real feudal nobles to death, the empire used to play very slippery, and later the imperial court found out that something was wrong, and began to fight against the emperor with all its might, at the beginning it was the failure of the imperial court, and the number of real feudal nobles is still getting smaller and smaller.

It wasn't until a royal clan relative who was born in a remote bloodline of the royal family and inherited his father's real fiefdom to live a life was supported by the court to become the emperor of heaven by chance, and the life of the court began to get better.

In his bones, the Emperor believed that the hereditary nobles who lived with the country were the foundation of the empire.

It was the best time in the history of the Imperial Court, and for the first time there was an increase in the number of feudal nobles, not much, but also for the first time in hundreds of years.

It's just that the good times passed quickly, and not every time the inheritance of the Heavenly Emperor will encounter such a big coincidence, so that the royal family and clan relatives will come to mix, so after the new heaven and earth succeed to the throne, the power of the actual feudal nobles of the sect has also declined, and the total number is still decreasing.

But everyone thinks that this is okay, as long as the empire does not do everything possible to deprive the territory of the real nobles, it is very good to keep it like this, and every emperor canonizes some real nobles according to his own wishes.

It's a pity that at this time, what really made the number of real nobles in the empire continue to decline is because of the greed of those big nobles themselves. But everyone's resentment is focused on the empire, but the empire has never been silent, and it doesn't know what to do.

The real nobles are two extremes, the border nobles have a lot of risks, and the hinterland nobles are rich and rich, so almost no one wants to be a border noble.

Therefore, at the time of the founding of the country, that is, when the first batch of actual nobles were canonized, the founding emperor allowed the border nobles to have the right to wage war and occupy foreign countries.

In other words, the border nobles, as long as you have the ability, you can start a war with the outside world at any time, occupy the enemy's territory, and the empire will recognize your expanded territory. But again, the annual tribute must change according to your strength.

This regulation of the Founding Emperor was carved on a stone tablet in the center of the imperial court, which formally established the right of the border nobles to war, plunder, and occupy foreign countries at will.

As for the nobles who made their territories larger than the empire, and then attacked the empire in turn and snatched the throne of the emperor. Not to mention, there is really one case of the empire being founded for so many years.

That was in the early days of the founding of the country, and the second-generation lords who belonged to the first batch of actual nobles did it.

At the beginning, the second-generation lord, led the strong private soldiers left by his father, and cooperated with a few capable people under his command, and captured the land of more than a dozen counties at once, and the territory of the empire at that time was only about a dozen counties.

So the goods got carried away, feeling that their territory was no smaller than the empire, coupled with the instigation and support of other real nobles, they boldly turned around and attacked the empire.

At that time, although the founding emperor was a little old, he was still fierce. As a result, the lord and his supporters were saddened, and after the battle, the territory under the direct jurisdiction of the empire doubled at once, and the foundation for the empire's rapid rise was laid.

Well, the land that added up to more than twenty counties at the beginning is now the most heartfelt position of the empire.

The rest of the nobles all secretly scolded the empire for cheating people, this is to let the border nobles work for the empire! From then on, they simply lost their motivation and stayed in the territory without moving. The title has also been passed down to this day and has become the core of the actual nobility.

Saying so much, it means that as long as Zhang Zhongjun is willing, then the Kurosawa Kingdom is his territory.
