Chapter 800: Inheritance
To be honest, Luo Ming really didn't think about this carefully.
Of course, Luo Ming is afraid of aging, which is human nature - but he doesn't worry too much about it, and since realizing that this world has a way to live for hundreds or thousands of years, and even have the opportunity to live forever, he has turned this fear into the motivation and courage to overcome aging.
When he successfully became a great sword master, as long as he didn't die, there would be no problem at all in living for more than two hundred years.
Look at Archmage Gandhi, who was badly wounded, and still lived to be almost two hundred and eighty years old, and still had a quick mind.
But the prince in front of him has not been able to step into the realm of the Great Sword Master, so it is inevitable that he will have to face the crisis of early aging.
Aging not only means one's own weakness, but also the attenuation of one's control over his subordinates -
Throughout the history of the two worlds, many emperors have not died, but are just aging, and their guards and servants have begun to be a little sluggish, and more energy is spent on the heirs of the next heir, or on digging the corners of the public house.
Moreover, Prince Oldman is not a real emperor, and even worse than today's Luo Ming in this regard.
The territory of Aloha under his name can be regarded as a pro-kingdom in name, but the actual area is much smaller than that of Van Shee County in Loming.
And this territory doesn't actually listen to him very much, it's just for him to prop up the façade. When he dies, the territory is taken back by the royal family and given to the next prince.
And his number one heir, the eldest son, can only receive a second-level fictitious title, as well as an annuity.
As for the actual territory, even if it can be obtained, it will not be too much, and according to the practice of the royal family for hundreds of years, it would be good to be able to seal a barony.
As a result, prestige and power will be greatly reduced, and it will attract the greed of people from all walks of life.
Maybe even the prince's emperor's nephew will take action and divide a part in the name of "protection".
At that time, how many of the Prince's men will remain loyal and not go elsewhere?
And if the eldest son is like this, how much more about the younger son who is not the number one heir?
According to the inheritance law, what the prince can leave to his younger son is actually quite limited.
The territory is almost impossible to transfer, and even if he takes advantage of the loopholes, he can only be given a few small estates, and he is scattered in several regions, and there is almost no barony in total.
Floating wealth, chamber of commerce stores under his name, etc., can transfer some of the past, but I'm afraid it will be difficult for the younger son to keep these, and even if he barely keeps it, there is almost no room for progress.
After all, the Anson Empire was still a country that valued tradition, and if there were not enough titles and fiefs, it would not be enough to convince the public.
To put it more simply: if you have a fief of your own, it means that your subordinates can settle there, get married, have children and retire, and their loyalty will naturally be much higher than others.
"But now there is an opportunity in front of me. ”
The prince took out two scrolls from the side, slowly pulled them apart, and spread them out on the table.
Luo Ming quickly recognized that the first scroll depicted a map of the southern part of the empire.
And the second chapter scroll is also a map, Luo Ming didn't recognize it at first glance, but Aya reminded at the right time: "Look, it's not-"
Following her point, Luo Ming saw the charcoal-circled areas on the first map.
On the first map, the area was the size of a fingernail, but on the second map, it was enlarged to the size of a tray for serving.
