Chapter 613: The Prince's Decree
After everyone gathered, the town captain Jiang Qing, who had a blue strength qi mass and was known as strength, took a step very casually and opened his mouth to reach the ears of everyone present:
"Ladies and gentlemen, this official is here to announce to you the imperial decree of Prince Shuying, the White Lotus Sect is now rebelling outside the city and wreaking havoc in the place, so he orders to recruit all people with official status and their subordinates within the boundaries of Magong Town to kill the White Lotus Sect cultists outside the city! For every evil scepter captured, you can get 10 points of noble merit, and for every gold bead or black bead captured, you can get 100 points of noble merit! This imperial decree is valid for ten days, and no one is allowed to leave the territory of Shanzhou Mansion within ten days, and violators will be killed!"
After Lord Jiang Qing's words fell, the scene fell silent, but then the noise burst out, Zhang Zhongjun blinked his eyes, and it was very concentrated to distinguish some more useful words from the noise around him:
"Damn! I thought it was the Thirteen Princes, but it was actually Prince Shuying's imperial decree?!"
"Oh my God, I received the news before, I only said that the thirteen princes were on patrol, but I didn't expect that the eldest princess would be accompanied by the eldest princess?
"It's okay, now it's not a critical juncture, the princes won't stand in line casually, it is reported that Prince Shuying has had a good relationship with the mother of the Thirteen Princes since he was a child, and the relationship between the Thirteen Princes and the aunt of Prince Shuying is naturally very good, so the current situation should just be that the aunt accompanies the nephew of the Thirteen Princes to hang out. ”
The crowd expressed their opinions on this issue and then stopped discussing it, after all, the battle for the heir is still a big distance away from them, this is not the point, the focus is on Prince Shuying's imperial decree, this is the promotion opportunity in front of them.
"Damn! I've heard of the Cult Scepter, but I've never seen it, it seems that the White Lotus Sect must have such a thing for every thousand or so Cultists! Such a scepter can actually be exchanged for 10 points of noble merit?! Wouldn't it be possible to become a lord directly if you capture 10 of them?!This is the existence of being able to have a fief and a personal guard!"
"The gold bead and the black bead are the key points! one is a hundred merits, and if you get 10 of them, you can become a baron!"
"That is so, but have any of you ever heard of gold beads and black beads?"
"Well, it's true, the White Lotus Sect has rebelled for so long, and I really haven't heard of the Golden Bead and the Black Bead. What the hell is this, what does it do, and why the hell does Prince Sookyoung want us to seize these things. ”
"It doesn't matter what it does, since Prince Shuying has ordered that they can be exchanged for noble merits, we will exchange them for them. As for what it is, didn't the White Lotus Sect have black and white holy envoys when it rebelled? The black beads and gold beads must correspond to them, and if you kill them, you will know if there are such things as gold beads and black beads!"
"Uh, the Black and White Holy Envoy of the White Lotus Sect...... Damn, I don't have the strength to do them, those guys are said to have the lowest strength, I'd better kill those White Lotus Sect incense masters and altar masters with scepters, at least my strength is enough to kill them, get ten evil scepters, and I can become a lord. ”
"That's true, but why did Prince Shuying only give us a 10-day deadline? And it also restricted us from leaving the territory of Shanzhou Mansion? If it takes a long time, we will go around the three places where the White Lotus Sect has started in Meiyuan Mansion, Shanzhou Mansion, and Jiezhou Mansion, and 10 evil scepters will definitely be easy to get. ”
"Don't be delusional, the imperial army has been waiting for the White Lotus Sect to start an incident for a long time, and the reason why they didn't act immediately is to wait for the White Lotus Sect to ravage the land of the Three Prefectures and scrape the local wealth before sending troops to exterminate them. Prince Shuying is now attacking ahead of schedule, and he can get ten days and be limited to the territory of Shanzhou Mansion, I am afraid that it is because the military department has given face. ”
"Okay, if you have anything to talk about later, now please come to this official to register your name, in the future, this is to determine your qualifications for meritorious service, if you don't register your name, even if you grab the evil scepter or gold beads and black beads, it won't count!" Lord Jiang Qing's voice rang in everyone's ears again.
At the same time, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the 1,000 city guards under him took out their pens and papers, and they looked like they were waiting for everyone to come and register, obviously they had already prepared.
The chaotic crowd was even more uproaring, but there were also extraordinary figures who stepped forward to register with the city guards.
Someone took the lead, things were much easier, and then everyone came forward one after another to register their names.
"My lord, shall we participate?" Peng Quanwu asked Zhang Zhongjun cautiously.
"Can you not participate? Even if you don't have those rewards, you have to participate, because Lord Jiang Qing said before that Prince Shuying is going to recruit all those who have official status and their subordinates, and if you don't participate, you may be killed by the imperial court for treason. Zhang Zhongjun sighed helplessly, and everyone on Zhang Zhongjun's side couldn't help but shrink their necks.
Zhang Zhongjun asked his subordinates to wait in place, and went to the city guard to register alone.
When the crowd was crowded, Zhang Zhongjun's mood was a little depressed, because he actually knew for the first time that the nobles of the Great Chen Dynasty could have fiefs and private soldiers, and even more only knew that the princess of the Great Chen Dynasty could also have the title of prince, and she could also issue imperial decrees openly and honestly, and she could also give the rewards of the nobles.
Well, the so-called aristocratic merits should be specially prepared for the promotion of nobility, 100 points of merit can be exchanged for a lord, 1000 points can be exchanged for a baron, and the back is estimated to be in decimal system.
As for making it so difficult to advance the nobility, it is obviously the preciousness of upgrading the noble title.
This is also a helpless thing, because of the existence of powerful officials, almost all the low-level official products are rotten. The imperial court will inevitably increase the difficulty of obtaining the title of nobility, which also means that the title of nobility has incomparable glory and wealth.
Only by elevating the title of nobility can it compete with the official position of the rotten street, showing the difference between the nobles and the ordinary officials.
But this is all a matter of course, Zhang Zhongjun is frustrated that his understanding of the Great Chen Dynasty is only scratching the surface, it seems that he will have to find an opportunity to learn more about all aspects of the Great Chen Dynasty in the future, otherwise it is really the same as the frog at the bottom of the well.
