Federal capital of Venice, in front of the House of Parliament. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Jun arrived here in an ordinary carriage.

The Federal Parliament House is heavily guarded, both bright and dark, and is spread across several nearby streets.

Patrolmen, armed with spears and shields, and knights in bright armor, looked at passers-by with eagle-like eyes.

Not far from the House of Parliament, there are four magic towers, which are guarded by magicians all year round, monitoring the surrounding conditions.

The defense specifications here are arguably the highest in the entire Venetian Confederation capital, and it is also one of the landmark buildings of the Venice Confederation.

Li Jun took out a letter from the ring, wrote down his identity and intentions, and handed it to an officer who guarded the door.

After a while, an old man in a black robe, surrounded by several knights, walked over, stroked his chest with a respectful face and said, "Dear Mr. Duke, please come with me, the leader has been waiting for you for a long time." ”

The leader, the supreme head of the Venetian Confederation and the president of the House of Parliament, is the master of the top chamber of commerce in the continent.

Li Jun took a deep breath and walked into the palatial parliament courtyard.

There was a burly man with his back to Li Jun, and there were only two people in the huge hall, the man and Li Jun.

The man turned around, revealing a handsome face, he was not very old, estimated to be only about thirty years old, blonde hair and blue eyes, typical of an alien person.

"Desert Gong Li Jun, signal to the leader. Li Jun stroked his chest slightly and gave a salute.

"I have long heard that Mr. Duke will come to the federal capital recently, and at yesterday's auction, Mr. Duke spent millions of dollars, and his power and wealth have reached the pinnacle, which is rare at the age of thirty. The leader smiled.

"The leader praised it falsely. Li Jun smiled modestly.

"Antu, the governor of the city defense of the port of Saivi, once handed me a letter, writing your intention, first of all, on behalf of the people of the Federation, thank Mr. Duke for his help in repelling the invasion of the Kraken, as for the matter of nobility and territorial canonization, it is not impossible to consider, it stands to reason, with Mr. Duke's merits, it is enough to obtain the status of a hereditary viscount and a territory of thousands of miles, but after all, you are an outsider, not a resident of the Federation, and this matter can only be decided through discussion in the council. The leader said.

Li Jun nodded, compared to the empire on the mainland, the Venetian Federation has a more capitalist republican system, small things are directly decided by the leader, and big things need to be decided through the joint discussion of all members of the House of Parliament.

The members of the House of Parliament, without exception, are wealthy businessmen with more than 100 million family properties, many of whom are even richer, have accumulated abundant wealth, and are also hereditary lords of the Venetian Federal Empire.

"Well, I'll wait for news from the leader. Li Jun smiled.

......

A day later, the leader gathered all the councillors and arrived at the House of Parliament.

"No, he is an outsider, and he is still the master of a principality, how can he give him the noble status and territory of the Federation?" A councillor resolutely objected, if it is a false name, only the status of nobility, but no nobles should be treated, but it can be considered, some large empires have also canonized the title of the master of vassal states, such as earls and dukes, and there is no noble name of the great empire, but there is no aristocratic treatment.

But what Li Jun wants is not a false name, but the status and due treatment of the federal nobles.

"As a newly rising principality, it defeated Ebrun first, then destroyed the fifth, unified most of the northwest regions of the continent, and has a tendency to develop into an empire, and that Duke Li Jun has a miraculous beast taming method, I heard that in the port of Saiwei, he tamed a kraken, a large number of sea beasts......" said another councilor.

"That's right, most of the territory of the Federation is overseas, and the focus of economic, military, and educational resources is also overseas, and there is no conflict of interest and involvement with the empire on the mainland, and it should be indisputable, but the Kraken of the Southern Ocean invades the territory of the Federation every year, if you can win over Duke Li Jun and rely on his godlike beast taming methods, maybe you can get rid of the big scourge of the Kraken and completely pull out this tumor. ”

"Hmph, with his role alone, can he be able to withstand the ability of the entire Federation?"

"Of course not, but for a long time, as more and more krakens and sea beasts have been tamed, the population of the other party has gradually decreased, coupled with the Federation's continuous innovation of warships and artillery, with these two forces, not to mention the destruction of the kraken race, but it can also make them suffer a lot of vitality, either completely surrender, or roll into the deep sea to survive!!" said a bearded man with a grim face.

He is the leader of the Venetian Confederation Mercenary Regiment, equivalent to the Imperial Field Marshal, and controls all the mercenaries of the Venice Confederation.

"The Federation's warships are the strongest in the mainland, and a new generation of warships is being developed, and it is estimated that underwater ships will be developed in another 40 years, which means that the first underwater ship of all mankind will be born in the next 50 years! At that time, the power of the Kraken will be greatly weakened, and it is not impossible to severely damage those bed bugs with the cooperation of a large number of tamed sea beasts. The Admiral, a female pirate leader, said in a cold voice.

The leader pondered for a moment and said slowly, "What about my opinion...... Yes. ”

Everyone fell silent, and now that the leader had made his attitude clear, some of the opponents began to waver, and some of them discussed in low voices for a while, and after ten minutes, the voting officially began.

In the end, with the supporters overwhelmingly over the opponents, the meeting came to an end in the fourth hour.

Because of Li Jun's special status, it is impossible to convene the House of Representatives and accept the canonization of the leader like the people of the Federation.

The certificate of nobility signed by the leader was sent to Li Jun's hand, and a document of canonization of the territory was attached.

Ryan Harbor, a second-class port with a small scale, is not easy for Li Jun, an outsider, to be able to get the territory of a second-class port, and the general hereditary earl is also treated like this.

Compared to the time when he accepted the canonization of the hereditary viscount of the Koro Empire, a noble status could no longer make Li Jun feel a trace of emotional fluctuations.

......

Lane Harbour, inside a castle.

"Sir, here are all the documents of the harbor of Lane, please review them. The old man who looked like a housekeeper invited Li Jun to the castle, and more than ten guards with big shoulders and round waists walked over with a bunch of documents and put them in front of Li Jun.

"It's all burned. Li Jun said coldly.

"Huh?" the butler was stunned.

Li Jun ignored him and looked at the castle with his hands behind his back.

"I ask you, how many ships are there in Lane Harbor?"

"Excluding the merchant ships passing by, there are 27 warships, 1,400 fishing boats, and 7 cruise ships. The butler said.

"It's too little, within five years, three thousand of the most advanced warships will be built, and talents in this area will be recruited, gold coins are not a problem, if there are any difficulties, write to me at any time. Li Jun said.

Butler staggering, three thousand of the most advanced warships?

What is this for? With this number of warships, rebellion is not a problem.

"You're an ordinary person?"

"Yes, sir, I was born into an ordinary fisherman's family, graduated from the Federal Naval Academy, was a sailor in my early years, and after retiring from the army, I came to Lane Harbor and became a personal butler, the last lord was a lifelong viscount, and after his death, the ownership of the territory has been vacant, and the federation governs it on his behalf. The butler said.

Li Jun nodded, although the butler was not a magician, a sword master, a pharmacist or anything like that, his professional ability in the marine field was quite high.

The Federal Naval Academy is the highest naval academy in the Federal Empire of Venice, and ordinary nobles cannot let their children enter the Federal Naval Academy to gild.

However, the housekeeper is not Li Jun's person after all, and he can be entrusted with important tasks, but he cannot be trusted.

Li Jun asked Zack from the Bird Zhai Headquarters in Tveron City to rush to Lane Harbor and shift his focus from the mainland to here.

Bird's Hall has been secretly developing for nearly twenty years, and it has become one of the top intelligence organizations in the mainland, with spies all over the country, and even the Sacred Light City has an organization of Bird's Hall.

With the help of Bishop Shuk, Zack has selected hundreds of talented boys and girls to enter the schools founded by the church, practice light magic, and become low-level clergy as soon as they graduate.

Li Jun has no foundation overseas, but with the strong financial resources of the Principality of the Great Desert and the support of the intelligence of Torisaitang, it will not take five years for Li Jun to build the Lane Harbor into his first iron bucket-like base overseas.

After personally arranging them one by one, Li Jun thought about it carefully, and after making sure that there was nothing missing, he took a luxury cruise ship and headed for the mainland. (To be continued.) )
