Chapter 840: Flag Dam (Part II)
"Grateful for His Excellency Shen Fei's contribution to the dam town, after the city lord's mansion confirmed, he gave His Excellency Shen Fei the status of Lord of the dam town, and has the right to build a foundation within the scope of the dam town. The seal of the castle lord's mansion, the signature of the castle lord and the heads of each prefecture. The officer in the middle took out a parchment document and read it cracklingly, and when he finished reading it, the others naturally gasped, and they all looked at Shen Fei with hot eyes.
Shen Fei's face was full of joy, and he took the document gratefully, but he scolded in his heart: "Damn! The high-level officials of the dam town are too arrogant, right? This kind of thing is not to be thanked in person? Just send a soldier with this document to come over and talk about it and finish the matter? Damn! Your dam town is not a country, but a town with only a few tens of thousands of people! You actually dare to put on the appearance of an emperor issuing a holy decree? And dare to canonize a lord and allow the establishment of a foundation? Why do you really think that your dam town is so big? You are just a small town of tens of thousands of people! Why are you so arrogant?"
However, although Shen Fei was full of disdain and resentment, he was still very satisfied with receiving this document, because he had already learned from the whispers of the surrounding onlookers that with the status of Lord of the Dam Town, he could enter and exit the city freely, not only did he not need to pay the entrance fee, but the commercial tax was also directly reduced from ten percent to one percent, and what was even better was that after having this identity, he could form his own armed force in the city openly, although he had to be named in the city guard, but it was only a name, and the strength of his subordinates was completely under his own orders。
In other words, Shen Fei can erect a flag in this dam town, and he doesn't have to worry about being suppressed by the original power of the city, although this is different from the previous self-reliant plan, because there is still an identity of a dam town, but this kind of town identity, when his own family is strong, it is easy to get rid of it, not to mention others. Directly let yourself become the city lord, you can get rid of the crime of betrayal, which is many times more convenient than being co-opted by some gang, so it is also somewhat in line with your own plan.
And Shen Fei, who knew these circumstances, was naturally very happy to accept this document, and at the same time, there was a badge representing the qualification of the Lord of the Dam Town. Although Shen Fei is now considered a member of the Dam Town, he is still a member of the Black Lotus Gang, so the Black Lotus coat of arms in the center of his eyebrows has not changed, which is also the reason why the status of the Black Lotus Gang is higher than that of the Dam Town, if Shen Fei is absorbed by the strength above the word "faction". The Black Lotus crest on his eyebrows had to be replaced with a newly added power crest, and this was why Shen Fei always wanted to be independent, and always wanted to start a business in these small places. Because after joining the general trend, if you want to be self-reliant, you can only betray, and once you betray, your reputation will be ruined, and it will definitely be difficult to move an inch in the future.
As long as you achieve your own plan, it doesn't matter if you don't meet the city lord or something, and you can't even wish it had anything to do with them. When the time comes, there will be no pressure in my heart when I overthrow them.
So Shen Fei, who was very relaxed, naturally beckoned those soldiers who fought together to drink and eat to celebrate, for Shen Fei's proposal, everyone agreed, even the officers who came to announce the order with a strained face also came to join in the fun with a smile on their faces. No way. Before, Shen Fei was just a powerful outsider, but now Shen Fei is a powerful lord in the city, with this master's ability to drive away the demonic beasts alone, it won't take long to become one of the best people in the city. In the face of such a character, if you don't stammer, are you still ready to offend?
So Shen Fei invited all the people around him to the tavern, and set up a flowing water table to start entertaining guests, anyway, Shen Fei still had eight or nine hundred taels of gold. It's just a big fish, big meat, big bowl of wine, no problem even if it is to entertain the whole city. And Shen Fei's goods are really awesome to this extent, and he directly shouted that he wanted to entertain the whole city to drink celebratory wine, and naturally some errand boys quickly spread the news out of Lu, and naturally some people went to greet the shopkeeper and chef of the tavern in the city, and directly set up a banquet on Dongmen Street.
While quickly cleaning up the wreckage and corpses, while putting on the seats, dishes and chopsticks, all kinds of freshly baked big-name dishes were served steamingly, and those busy people put down their things and gathered together to eat and drink.
It's no wonder that the people in Dama Town are so open-minded, and the bodies of their relatives are still on the side, so they participate in other people's banquets to eat and drink. First of all, this Warcraft siege came to a special time within a few years, and the entire dam town, except for children under the age of two or three, everyone else has experienced more than one Warcraft siege, and every time the Warcraft attacks the city, a large number of people will be killed and injured, almost every family is dressed in mourning and wounded, so everyone has long been accustomed to the death and injury.
The second is that don't look at this is the fairy world, there are powerful people like monks who can mobilize the vitality of heaven and earth, but these powerful people are too far away from these free people who are only a little better than slaves, and most of them have to beg for food from the ground in their daily life, and the hunters and fishermen can also get some oil and water to eat, and those farmers and coolies who work in the city can get oil and water when they have a few big festivals a year. Therefore, Shen Fei is now putting on the appearance of an upstart, inviting the soldiers and civilians of the whole city to eat and drink with big fish and big meat, but who knows the way, who didn't leave their work and hurry over? All of them are deeply afraid that the good wine and good meat will be eaten by others!
The third, since the siege of the Dam Town, the city of Dam has guarded the city gate for the first time, and the first time the monster has been repelled, everyone needs to celebrate presumptuously, and they are ready to invite a few partners to drink and celebrate, and now that someone has a treat, where can I not go?
Fourth, the dam town was able to defend the city wall under the claws of the demon beast for the first time, and the first time to repel the demon beast, this is all because Lord Shen Fei can be like this, such an adult has to find a relationship to know each other, and now this big man is holding a banquet to invite the whole city, where can he miss such a good opportunity! Aren't you afraid that if you don't drink, this big man thinks that the dam town will not give face, and will directly make the big man angry? If this big man leaves, what will he do with these people when the next time the big man attacks the city? You must know that every time the demonic beasts attack the city, a group of people will be killed and injured, and if you don't die this time, you naturally don't want to die next time!
Therefore, Shen Fei's action of inviting the whole city to the banquet was really very successful, except for the six old guys who did not come in person, the other officials came to congratulate Shen Fei in person, of course, they could not eat and chew outside like those civilians, but toasted and cheered in the private room of the tavern. And although the six old guys did not come in person, they also sent close family members such as nephews and nephews to celebrate, and at this time, Shen Fei realized that the relatives and families of the six most powerful people in the dam town were not in the dam town, and Shen Fei naturally pouted secretly about this.
And at this time, Shen Fei realized that his lordship of the dam town was not only granted by the dam town, but was granted at the same time by the fifty-four towns that had an alliance relationship with the dam town, that is to say, Shen Fei's lordship was recognized by the fifty-five towns, including the dam town, and the city gate tax was not required to enter and exit these alliance towns, and the commercial tax was also kept at one percent, and the only restriction in other towns was that the flag could not be erected! That is to say, Shen Fei can establish a base in the dam town and recruit armed forces, but he can't do this in other towns, but he can lead the armed forces in and out of other towns, and he will not be like others who will be monitored by the town's armed forces once a vote of armed personnel appears around them. Of course, these armed men are subject to an entrance fee just like everyone else, unlike in the town of Dam, which is exempt from the entrance fee.
The titles jointly awarded by these fifty-five towns and cities are divided into several levels, the highest level is the viscount, which is owned by the nine town lords with a population of 100,000, and then the baron, which is owned by the city lords of other towns, and then the lord, it can be said that Shen Fei's status is now lower than that of the city lord, and then there is an honorary warrior title, which is used to buy the nobles' right-hand men.
And the most awesome thing is that as long as you have a knighthood, then you are an ex officio member of the council of the town alliance, and you are eligible to participate in the discussion of the alliance's plans. Directly sneered at this Shen Fei, although this alliance came out with a knighthood, but in fact, everyone is just an ally, and there is no division between upper and lower levels, that is to say, the viscount city lord is not qualified to order the baron city lord to do things, and if you want others to help, you have to pay benefits. And in such a situation where the fifty-five towns and cities are all in their own hands, this alliance council is just an occasion for ventilation, and it has no real power at all. And he, the lord, still has some right to speak in the town of Dadam, but this right to speak is not given by this lordship, but brought by his own strength!
So Shen Fei lost interest in these things all of a sudden, he really didn't have any interest, a town-city alliance that could be destroyed at any time with the power of the word "gang" could make Shen Fei interested, although I don't know why these fifty-five towns and cities didn't take refuge in the general trend, and just united to rise, but Shen Fei welcomed such a thing, because it was helpful for him to set up a flag!
Shen Fei is also a person of the Shanghai faction, especially he is so awesome that drinking wine is the same as drinking air, and it takes a lot of time, not only to clear the customs of the officials who came to celebrate, but also to directly pay tribute to the banquet outside. After a banquet, Shen Fei didn't know many people, but the people in the entire dam town and city realized that Shen Fei was a that couldn't be poured in ten thousand cups, and it could be said that if he brushed his face in the dam town, Shen Fei was definitely more useful than the city lord!
After the banquet was over, Shen Fei began to think about how he should set up the flag in Dam Town. (To be continued......)
