Chapter 575: "Jane in the Emperor's Heart"

After Zhu Jingyuan announced the rewards for meritorious personnel, he also took out the rewards for everyone in the world at the very end of his public preaching.

Starting from the first day of August in the fifth year of the Grand Duke, there will be seven consecutive days of holidays throughout the day.

Starting next year, there will be a three-day holiday from August 1 every year as a festival to celebrate the unity of the world.

Zhu Jingyuan ended his preaching with enthusiastic cheers.

The march into the city continued, and the procession of all the generals and soldiers marched through the main road of the new city of Beijing.

It was not until two o'clock in the afternoon that the procession returned to the camp.

After the late lunch, the Overseers at all levels of the Governor's Mansion began to get busy, handing out edicts of reward to the troops in charge of them.

Wu Xiongying, a pilot of the Air Force, has followed the troops from the Urals to Gibraltar in the past year and a half.

Wu Xiongying graduated from the aviation university of the nature of a military academy, and he graduated with the rank of lieutenant with excellent grades.

He has a good talent for flying, and at the same time loves flying very much, and his performance on the battlefield is also very good, the key is to be diligent enough.

The Ming Air Force was absolutely crushing on the battlefield, and most of the battles were one-sided.

It's also a skill to get more results quickly before the enemy collapses.

Wu Xiongying himself has always been among the best in terms of the number of air shots shot down and the number of ground targets destroyed.

What's more, he also has a flexible brain, shows good management talent, and can lead his teammates to complete tasks better.

In addition, the Ming Dynasty directly doubled its army before the war, and a large number of newly established officers were temporary, and even many deputy positions were vacant.

After Wu Xiongying adapted to the battlefield, he soon became a flight captain.

Then, during the year and a half of participating in the war, he gradually rose to the rank of adjutant of the air force division where he was located, and was in charge of more than 50 pilots at two posts.

According to Wu Xiongying's current position, the military rank must be at least promoted to captain, and maybe even major.

War can make the promotion of gifted officers like a rocket.

Wu Xiongying is only 21 years old this year, and he is still a specially trained pilot of the military academy, and even if he is disarmed after the armistice, it is basically impossible for him to retire from the army directly.

Even if there is no war in the future, simply consuming time to accumulate seniority, you can become a major general before the age of forty.

If your career goes well in the future, you will have the opportunity to become the governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Office.

Wu Xiongying's heart was also a little apprehensive and entangled.

Wu Xiongying knew that this war might be the final war, and there would probably be no war in the future.

In the future, even if you continue to serve in the army, you can only stay up for time.

I also know that this reward will not only have a large number of titles, but also a number of places for feudal statehood, and if you get it, you will become the de facto king of a country.

In Wu Xiongying's opinion, according to his current merits and age, the lowest baron in the traditional formal title is a bit insufficient.

It is likely that you can only get a squire or a countryman who has only recently been identified, and the name sounds very earthy.

As for the chances of sealing the country, it is even more slim.

Mainly because he was too young to have any qualifications before the war began.

Then I just don't know if I will be asked to stay in the army.

However, Wu Xiongying's apprehension and entanglement did not last long, and he was soon called by his name.

Then, with an unusually excited mood, Wu Xiongying received his canonization edict from the hands of his own guard overseer.

"Wu Xiongying, Shanghai County, Songjiang Prefecture, Jianghuai Province, was awarded the rank of captain of the Air Force.

"Grant the title of Barony of Firo County, and the descendants can inherit it after assessment.

"He also led the throne of the monarch of Firo, inherited two generations and then transferred to the inner domain, and withdrew after three generations.

"Special permission to stay in the Air Force."

Wu Xiongying froze after hearing this.

This was not only directly given the title, but also directly crowned the monarch of the vassal state, and was specially allowed to continue to serve in the army.

Among Wu Xiongying's rewards, the actual rewards were top-level, not the lowest-level squires and countrymen, but directly to the baron.

On the contrary, the rank was slightly pressed and given to the captain instead of the major.

Because this is to let him continue to serve, not to give him a higher status and retire directly.

A twenty-one-year-old captain is already outrageous, and there is still a chance to become a major general before the age of forty, and a general in his early fifties.

This slightly special arrangement was not even decided by the Governor's Office and the Ministry of War themselves.

Zhu Jingyuan also mentioned it slightly.

Zhu Jingyuan attaches great importance to the development of the aviation industry in Daming, and has an impression of Wu Zhiyuan, who has been on the same page with him on the spot.

Know that guy is a far-right.

At the beginning, the suggestion of "paying the price of millions of Ming people to completely eliminate the Taixi man" made Zhu Jingyuan particularly speechless when he thought about it.

At the same time, Wu Zhiyuan also won a large number of awards in aviation competitions.

In addition to the first sprint take-off and landing competition in Songjiang, Zhu Jingyuan later personally gave Wu Zhiyuan two awards.

At the same time, after the war began, Zhu Jingyuan also paid more attention to the performance of the air force on the battlefield.

The overseer in charge of the report knew that Zhu Jingyuan cared, so he specifically mentioned Wu Zhiyuan in a certain report.

He did excel in the first place, but now he is only a young man.

In the traditional culture of the Ming Dynasty, when mentioning a person, he must first talk about his place of origin, and will also introduce the background related to his current performance.

It is natural to mention Wu Xiongying and his father Wu Zhiyuan.

After Zhu Jingyuan knew that Wu Xiongying was Wu Zhiyuan's son, he paid a little attention to it curiously.

Finally, when preparing for the reward, I also asked the person in charge of compiling the reward how to arrange it for this Songjiang kid.

For Zhu Jingyuan himself, this kind of thing is a point to mention.

But Zhu Jingyuan, as the emperor, Wu Xiongying, father and son, after being remembered by Zhu Jingyuan, is the de facto "Jane in the emperor's heart".

As long as Wu Xiongying has a good performance, he will be able to get the corresponding full reward in the future.

It will not be delayed or suppressed.

There is no need for Zhu Jingyuan to specifically mention it again, after he mentioned it once, the scholars around him, the Minister of Military Aircraft, Sima, and the Metropolitan Governor will all pay attention to it.

The Overseer, who was in charge of reading the edict, coughed lightly as he watched Wu Xiongying's reaction.

Wu Xiongying reacted, hurriedly bowed down to thank him, and then carefully took the edict and documents, and looked at the details on them.

Where exactly is your fiefdom, there will be a map and an introduction on the document attached to the edict.

The prefix of the title of "Philo County Male" comes from his own fiefdom.

This "Firo County" is located in the northeastern corner of the Spanish region, on the border between Spain and France, and was historically part of Catalonia.

Figues, the largest city in the region, also has a local port called Roses.

When the Ming Dynasty dealt with the Taixi countries in the past, when they received the land of the Taixi countries in the war, they all faced the problem of translating a large number of place names.

If the people who have the right to decide in the Ming Dynasty are interested and have the time at that time, they may take into account the local situation and choose an elegant name with a beautiful meaning.

It's just that most of the time the people involved don't have this interest.

If the Taixi people took the initiative to introduce a place to the Ming Dynasty, they would take the initiative to use words with positive meanings to transliterate them.

The Ming people sometimes use it directly, and sometimes reduce one or two superfluous words, mainly translated from the pronunciation that is particularly common in the name of Taixi.

For example, Figueles City will become Philae City, and Puerto Rosas will become Puerto Rosa.

If the Taixi people did not introduce some small and medium-sized cities, then the Ming people could only listen to the local names in the process of receiving the city.

The light sounds are discarded, leaving the main pronunciation, and the often repeated sounds are removed and replaced with a word that is not too bad.

In the end, it will also become Philae and Rosa.

When it is used as a general name for the entire region, and then the first word of the main residential area is combined, and Feiluo County will also come out.

The total area of Firo County is about 1,600 square kilometers, which is the size of a typical state county.

However, three-quarters of the area of Firo County is mountainous and hilly.

The plains are only about 400 square kilometers.

But this kind of reward is an absolute surprise for Wu Xiongying himself.

400 square kilometers is 600,000 acres!

Mountains are not completely useless, and fruit orchards or tree farms can be developed.

In other words, he has 2.4 million acres of land......

Wu Xiongying is just 20 years old this year.

Only graduated from aviation school at the end of last year.

After a year and a half of hard work on the front line, he now has a county fiefdom.

Although it is small as a country, it is approved by the Ming court, and it is the de facto king of a country.

On the premise of not violating the laws of the Ming Dynasty, he is the real monarch here, and what he says is the law here.

It can also be passed on to his son......

Even in his grandson's generation, he can directly serve as a lifelong county magistrate.

After three generations, although they will no longer be able to directly control the land, the wealth created by the three generations will not be confiscated.

The farmland, forest farms, factories, and shops that have been developed over three generations will continue to be preserved.

After losing the status of monarch, he will still be the most influential family in the local area, and he will definitely have a say in everything.

Wu Xiongying took the edict, looked at the instructions on it, and looked at the various annotations on the simple map, and the whole person was speechless for a long time with excitement.

Wu Xiongying's group of people announced that the reward was completed, and after the overseers and commanders left, the scene immediately became lively.

Everyone held the priceless edict document and congratulated each other with joy.

This time, those who specially returned to Beijing to participate in the ceremony will definitely be rewarded, and everyone can be said to be the same kind of people.

Even instinctively thought that they could start to have a good relationship with each other and help and take care of each other in the future.

In addition, I was very excited to receive a reward, and I was very eager to share it with others.

So the scene was full of laughter.

Wu Xiongying heard the congratulations around the province and finally fully accepted the reality.

Wu Xiongying also congratulated each other with his companions around him, and then chatted with each other, and made an appointment to find a place to drink and celebrate.

In the process of chatting, the thing that was repeatedly mentioned was the situation of everyone's fiefdom.

Titles and titles are made public when things like titles are announced.

It's just that most people don't know where the fiefdom is, and many of the place names of Tessie are newly taken.

Even if you ask the Tessie, most of them don't know where they are.

You can only look at the description on the canonization document.

Wu Xiongying chatted with the surroundings, and soon found that everyone's fiefdom was far away.

Wu Xiongying's is in Spain, next to some in Greece, some on the Volga River, and some on the Danish Peninsula.

Soon someone wondered:

"We are all from the Air Force, is the court deliberately separating us?"

Wu Xiongying thought for a moment:

"It should be so, but the purpose should be simple, it should be so that we can help each other with our brothers in the Army.

"Many brothers will be the kings of a country in the future, and they will have to manage their own fiefdom lands in the future, mainly to suppress those Taixi people.

"The point is that most of our fiefdoms can only be regarded as small countries, and the power of a single fief is very limited.

"It's best to help and cooperate with neighboring fiefdoms in order to exert greater power.

"Those of us in the Air Force who get together may be good at air combat, but we don't understand ground combat.

"On the other side, if the brothers in the army are also together, they will not have the help of the air force.

"When we used to fight, we cooperated with the army.

"Now I continue to break up the distribution, and it is also a very normal choice to mix together and divide the seals."

The people around nodded their heads when they heard this.

They do want to be with their comrades in the Air Force, but working with the Army is a more realistic option.

Everyone's mood also recovered, and the surroundings were lively again.

Soon someone suggested that we go out for a drink and dinner together.

Wu Xiongying did not shirk, and the people he was more familiar with and those who had dealt with him all gathered together and left the barracks together.

According to the previously announced rules, after the edict and documents for the reward were issued, everyone was temporarily on vacation.

Wait until you come back from vacation to go through more detailed procedures, and then go to the fiefdom to take office after completing the procedures.

So now it's not illegal to go out and drink while chatting.

However, Wu Xiongying and his companions wanted to celebrate, as did the other guards and people from other branches of the military.

The entire old and new cities of Yingtianfu are full of people.

A group of people searched for more than an hour before they found a restaurant with enough vacant seats.

After a group of people drank three rounds and had five flavors of food, their emotions were almost gone, and some people began to express different emotions.

"The monarch of the vassal kingdom can only be passed down for three generations, if only it could be passed on forever......"

"Children and grandchildren are only blessed with children and grandchildren...... Ah no, three generations have already reached grandchildren—"

"The title itself can be inherited indefinitely, as long as the descendants work hard and pass the assessment, what else are you dissatisfied with?

"That's a good thing to say, but I still want to keep it on......"

A group of people were talking, and someone looked at Wu Xiongying.

Everyone knows that Wu Xiongying, a young man, has a very good brain and can often give ideas to everyone.

"Brother Wu—no, Wu County—why don't you speak?"

"It should be called Firo-kun now—"

"What do you think of Philo-kun?"

Wu Xiongying couldn't help laughing when he heard it, and then shook his head with chopsticks and said:

"Have you ever considered how many things in the fiefdom can be turned into your own home in three generations?

In other words, have you ever studied how to turn from an outer domain to an inner domain? How to withdraw the internal domain? ”

The people around him immediately became interested, and immediately someone asked very cooperatively:

"What do you mean by that?"

"What do you mean by that?"

Wu Xiongying smiled and said:

"I've talked about it, but this standard is actually very simple, and it is written in the documents signed by the imperial court and the vassal state.

It can be summed up in three sentences, what is in the court belongs to the court, what is private belongs to the private, and what is damaged must be compensated.

"The so-called imperial court is the official office, the army, the tax, and the social instrument.

"The so-called private family is the house, the acre, the manufacturer, and the private wealth.

"We build and use residential houses, we open up land estates, and we invest in factories and firms, all of which are private wealth.

"Even after the removal of the feudal domain, it will still belong to us.

"But the power to appoint officials, the power to recruit sergeants on one's own, the power to collect and use taxes on one's own, are all gone.

"According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, undeveloped wasteland and mountains and forests belong to Your Majesty, so none of them can be retained when the feudal domain is withdrawn.

"If the forests are cut down and not replanted, not only will the land not be retained, but the same area of grain land will be compensated according to the unreplanted area.

"So, after we get to the fiefdom, it's very simple how we should be.

"Use the power of the monarch to open up wasteland, build houses, build factories, and accumulate assets in three generations with our power.

"If, after three generations and a hundred years, all the mountains and forests of the entire fiefdom have become orchards and forest farms, all the plains have become grain fields, and the factories and trading houses in the urban areas have our shares......

"Then even if we lose the power of the public weapon, this fief will still be the property of our children and grandchildren."

The people around nodded their heads, and then some people couldn't help but pour their wine.

However, new concerns and questions have also been raised.

"On our own...... Can the land of the fiefdom really be developed? ”

"We don't have that much money or enough people."

Wu Xiongying said directly:

"Of course, we can't develop it all ourselves, like I may not have the opportunity to run it myself, so I can only see if my dad has any ideas.

"If the location of the feudal country is good, it is best to be able to develop the four major groups, and if not, you can recruit private businessmen to invest.

"However, considering our fundamental interests, for businessmen who are willing to invest, we should ask for shares as much as possible, rather than collecting as much tax as possible.

"Invite and recruit businessmen with low tax rates.

"We can draw up an agreement where we give them tax breaks and transfer what percentage of their equity to our children and grandchildren after how many years they have been in business.

"Or simply convert a portion of the tax into equity.

"But you can't be in a hurry, you can't kill chickens and take eggs, otherwise there will be no businessmen to go at all......"

"That's how the idea is...... anyway"
