After completing the deal, Fang Yuanwai sent Liang En an invitation to the banquet, hoping to have a relationship with him. And Liang En thought that he was okay in the afternoon, so he naturally responded to his invitation.

But just as they walked to the door, Li Zhutou suddenly ran over in a hurry.

"Is there something going on, Li Zhutou?" After seeing the other party coming straight to him, Liang En stopped and turned to the other party to approach, and then asked.

"Liang ..... Mr. Leung. The holy decree given to you by the imperial court is now in the county office, please hurry up and receive the holy decree - after holding his chest twice, Li Zhu quickly explained his reason.

"Oh, congratulations!" After hearing what Li Zhutou said, Fang Yuanwai immediately said to Liang En. "Then I won't bother you today, Mr. Liang, we will make an appointment next time we are free."

After saying goodbye to Fang Yuanwai, Liang En followed Li Zhutou all the way towards the county office. At the same time, on the way, he began to ask about the process of receiving the holy decree, after all, he had never experienced this kind of thing.

Although it is said that the matter of receiving the divine decree in TV, movies, and novels in the world is rotten now, God knows how much of it is true and how much of it is adapted.

Not to mention that the history of the Great Song Dynasty is completely different from that of another world, in case of any rudeness, although it will not have too serious consequences, it will really not be able to get over the face.

It's a pity that Li Zhutou, as an ordinary official, doesn't know how to receive the holy decree, but fortunately, he said that with the special pedestrian officials who even came over, there would be no problems.

When I came to the county yamen, the main gate had been opened without opening it, and I could see a table and incense candles in the center of the courtyard, and at the same time, there were several people wearing various official robes standing next to it.

Of course, Liang En didn't just break in directly, but walked in through the back door under the leadership of Li Zhukuai to the back of the county courtyard, and then temporarily learned the etiquette of receiving orders under the command of a green-robed pedestrian officer.

Fortunately, in this world, the etiquette of receiving the decree is not complicated, except for the solemnity and the need to wear a little more decent clothes, you only need to make a bow at the beginning, and then make a bow at the end and receive the decree with both hands.

So after more than ten minutes of temporary training, Liang En came to the front yard to receive the order.

Although it is said to be a holy decree, it is actually issued by the government hall, and the content in it is also extremely popular, except for the fixed content at the beginning and end, there is no place for condescending teeth.

At the beginning of the Decree, Liang En's previous contributions were listed one by one, from the analysis of enemy attacks, to the medical emergency knowledge he had contributed, to the bloody battles at the River Temple and the firearms he had contributed.

It's just a little strange that although the holy decree is full of praise, it is not said what the reward for Liang En is until the holy decree is recited.

"His Majesty the Emperor and the Political Affairs Hall are very satisfied with your contribution this time, Mr. Liang, and according to the "Emperor Song Rites", you are now provided with two rewards for you to choose from."

After receiving the holy decree, looking at the puzzled expression on Liang En's face, the young official who had read the holy decree before arched his hand, and then said, and then handed Liang En a document.

According to the content of the document, one of the rewards was to give Liang En a hereditary county barony, and at the same time to reward a large amount of wealth, including a lot of spiritual resources.

The other reward is a Pioneer Permit, which has very simple privileges within the Empire's borders, such as hiring up to 10 armed bodyguards or ordering ships from official shipyards, but has great privileges after leaving the borders.

According to the content of the Pioneer Permit, leaving the territory of the Empire allowed the holder of the permit to freely conquer the designated lands, and to acquire various privileges in those lands by many means which were not allowed within the borders of the country.

With the authorization of this license, the holder is able to conquer and colonize newly discovered lands that have been discovered but not included in the territory of the empire in order to expand the territory of the empire.

According to the description on the permit, after obtaining the permit, Liang En can expand his territory in designated areas outside the country, and formulate laws and regulations that do not conflict with local laws, while having his own administrative and military institutions.

If it really succeeds, the imperial court will also grant a position similar to that of Tusi to confirm the interests of the pioneers.

It's just that these things need to be reported to the imperial court in advance and approved. Generally close to the British East India Company, but more regulated.

There are a variety of reasons for such permits, the biggest of which is the soaring cost of domination due to the size of the territory.

But the problem is that a lot of marginal territories can't be occupied without occupying them, because if you don't occupy them to form a blockade line, the enemy will occupy them, and then turn the land that could be profitable into a front line that needs to be constantly advanced into it.

To take the simplest example, in the modern world, the Ming Dynasty began to go deep into the steppe to blast the Mongols, so the common people inside and outside the Great Wall lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the local people were able to support themselves through trade and other means.

However, when Bao Zong went to study in Warat, the entire country's border line was recycled, and as a result, the Great Wall that could have supported itself required a lot of resources to support it, and then it became a nine-sided border that devoured a huge financial budget.

Although this world has not experienced this history, the imperial court, as a place where a large number of intelligent people are concentrated, naturally knows this problem and finds a way to deal with it from the three generations of antiquity.

At the same time, because of some accidents at the birth of the dynasty, the new Song Dynasty compressed the authority of the emperor to a minimum, so it naturally let go of this possible separation of powers.

Of course, there were suggestions about what to do if those forces overseas became powerful and attacked the Central Plains, but the government was not worried about this possibility.

Since all newly discovered lands must be selected by the imperial court, and only after the selection will be opened to those who have obtained permits, in this case, if the overseas territories can still defeat the Central Plains, then they can defeat the Central Plains in any matter.

"Hmm—I choose the license." It only took him a few seconds to make his choice.

Liang En knew that he was just an ordinary person, and it was not very suitable for him to directly obtain a noble status, as for those materials, although they looked eye-catching, they were not as important to an open cultivator as they were to ordinary cultivators.

As for the permit, it was another matter, he knew that in the other world this era belonged to the era of great navigation, and those navigators who left their homeland determined the fortunes of the country for hundreds of years to come.

And for those navigators, these adventures also give them a life full of possibilities.

What's more, a good license can bring two benefits to Liang En - on the one hand, from the perspective of cultivation, it is obviously easier to influence his fate by going overseas to adventure, and obtain more destiny essence for him.

At the same time, with the backing of a modern world, the difficulty of overseas development has been greatly reduced, giving him the opportunity to obtain a career worthy of his struggle.
