Chapter 1351 Canonized Territory (3)

"Tell you, if you want to ensure that you can inherit the current title, you must develop the officer's territory, or you will wait for the title and territory to become smaller and smaller."

"Who doesn't know this truth? It's just that if you look at the number of nobles in the entire empire, only ten of them can guarantee to inherit the existing title. Which one of the others is not inherited by descending? The military officer's territory is not so easy to build."

"Since someone is successful, how do we know we won't be successful? I'm going to give it a try, and I don't care about the money anyway."

"Well, there are many brothers in your family, so it's okay to try, maybe you succeed, and you will become the heir of the family."

"It's such a national matter. Anyway, I am not the heir now, so I have to work hard no matter what."

"I'm exempt. If I use the money recklessly, I will definitely be disqualified as an heir. Let my territory fend for itself. I just hope that it will not be canonized to the border, otherwise the territory will be occupied, and it will take another period of time." Time to become a major."

As the majors entered the inner room, the voices completely disappeared, and the majors who stayed in place.They are all thinking about what they should do after they get the territory.

Soon, Zhao Hu entered the inner room. There were two middle-aged men in civil official clothes and two young men in inner official clothes.

"Zhao Hu." A civil servant asked aloud.

"Yes." Zhao Hu handed over the military registration certificate, and his swift movements made it impossible for anyone to notice that he was distracted just now.

The civilian officer checked the military registration certificate, and then handed the military registration certificate to an internal officer, who then searched for it in the large stack of data at the back.

During this period, the two civil servants taught Zhao Hu one by one. These words are nothing more than the award of the territory to you. It is His Majesty's approval of you. For His Majesty, you must protect the safety of the territory and be loyal at all times. Your Majesty the Emperor and stuff like that.

Zhao Hu could only nod obsequiously, asking him to flatter and show loyalty, but he still couldn't do it, but in the eyes of the civil servants, his restrained appearance was like someone who had never seen the world.A nervous young man, so he is quite satisfied with Zhao Hu's performance.

The internal official came back with a sheepskin scroll sealed with wax, and the civil official handed the sheepskin scroll together with the military registration certificate to Zhao Hu, and said: "This sheepskin scroll is your territory certificate, work hard for the empire and His Majesty the Emperor!" , you can go back." Saying that, he waved his hand.

Zhao Hu hurriedly saluted and withdrew. He didn't expect the whole canonization process to be so simple, and it was completely different from the cumbersome and grand ceremony he imagined.

But if you think that a major can get the territory, then you can understand how many majors there are in the entire imperial army, all of which are cumbersome and grand, not to mention the money spent, even the time it takes can make people crazy.

It seems that these legendary ceremonies can only appear when a noble canonize.

Zhao Hu, who followed his advice very much, found an imperial guard, stuffed a purse in it, and left the palace without encountering anything.

Afterwards, I heard that several unlucky officers entered the harem by going the wrong way, and were dismissed and questioned.

Back at the hotel, Zhou Wen and others, who were looking forward to seeing through the autumn water, immediately surrounded him, and it was Locke who only cared about eating.Luo Fei also surrounded the periphery and probed his brain.

"My lord, where is your territory confiscated?" The impatient Sun Jie asked immediately, but Zhou Wen, who was serving tea, kicked him violently.

Seeing Sun Jie covering his butt and grinning his teeth, Zhao Hu smiled, took out the parchment and threw it to Dio, saying, "I don't know, I haven't read it yet."

When Diou heard this, he immediately removed the wax seal carefully, and unfolded the sheepskin roll. A few lines of words were branded on the sheepskin roll: "Major Zhao Hu has made great achievements, and the county canonize Liusha Town, Bin'an County, Nanshui County, Haiquan Province. Xiaoyu Village is its territory, with an area of ​​ten kilometers in length and width."

"In addition, Major Zhao Hu must live in the territory for more than one year before he can perform his military duties."

Below is the seal of the imperial prime minister.With this seal, in addition to His Majesty the Emperor, even if the owner of the seal, the Prime Minister of the Empire, wants to change it, he must call all the members of the Imperial Council and obtain the approval of the majority before changing it.

Everyone was dumbfounded by the last line. They must live in the territory for more than one year before they can perform military duties?Isn't the rule half a year?Most people don't have to fulfill this responsibility, so how can adults be clearly ordered?And it's still a one-year period?Even those officers who were suppressed would not be treated like this, right?
Thinking of this, and suddenly thinking of the dignitary who seized the map, everyone couldn't help but sigh.

Immediately afterwards, everyone was shocked by the huge area of ​​the territory, and Sun Jie even exclaimed: "Oh my God! The length and width are each ten kilometers, which means an area of ​​one hundred square kilometers! That place is so remote? How many people will it take to come?" Guard!"

Zhao Hu focused his attention on the first line of text, and asked suspiciously, "Where is Haiquan Province?"

No wonder Zhao Hu didn't understand the division of the empire's provinces. He stayed in the empire for more than a year, but most of the time was spent on the march, and the complete map of the empire was beyond the reach of a small officer like him. The brigade's map only records the provinces near the prairie, and there are no records at all in other places.

Dio, who is still from the old imperial capital, explained: "Ocean Springs is also one of the five coastal provinces of the empire. It is connected to the coastal provinces, but it is even more pitiful than the coastal provinces. There is not even a medium-sized port. It is also the most chaotic border province in the empire. , because of its proximity to the southeastern peninsula."

Speaking of this, Dio has already sighed. If the adult's territory is in other provinces, he can still be smashed with the money he earns, but the southeast peninsula, which is close to the chaotic place, I am afraid that no matter how much money is thrown, it will be blisters. And myself.

"Southeast Peninsula? A place of chaos?!" Zhou Wen exclaimed.

Sun Jie, who was not very clear, immediately asked: "I know that the southeast peninsula is a place of chaos, but what's so surprising about this place? Isn't it just a small place with many forces and the king's flag that changes from time to time? We still use Afraid of them?"

Zhou Wen slapped Sun Jie on the head: "Small place? The southeast peninsula covers an area of ​​two to three million square kilometers! And you also said that there are many forces. You often change the king's flag. You said that every time a force falls, the soldiers of the original force What will happen?"

"Annexed by the replaced force?" Sun Jie said carefully, scratching his head.

Zhou Wen shouted: "How many people have been annexed, and those who are unwilling to vote for the new master? They will become rogues! Think about it, how many people will become rogues after the power on the southeast peninsula is replaced!"

"It's not scary to have the forces that raised the Great King's Banner on the southeast peninsula. What's scary is these rogues who have lost their owners. They can do anything without restraint!"

Dio sighed and said, "I hope that the small fish village in the adult's territory will not be close to the southeast peninsula, otherwise it will be troublesome, and it will definitely be the first target of robbers."

Hearing that his territory was so pitiful, even Zhao Hu, who didn't care about anything, couldn't help but sigh.

Seeing Zhao Hu's appearance, Diou hurriedly comforted him: "Anyway, the order is that the adults should live in the territory for more than one year. Let's go and have a look. Maybe the territory is closer to the inland side."

"By the way, my lord has to report to the military headquarters with this territory certificate. Otherwise, if you don't report to the army for a long time, you may be in trouble."

Zhao Hu nodded: "Well, there is no need to waste time, just report to the military department now."

Hearing this, everyone was stunned. They didn't expect the lord to be so impatient, but they thought that there was nothing to do in the imperial capital. The consumption here is so expensive, so it's better to go to the territory earlier.

Dio suddenly remembered something and asked: "My lord, please wait a moment, your personal guard quota is 130, although those servants can be counted, but they are not from the empire, and it is inconvenient to go out for half a day, so we should recruit the imperial guards." People are better, why don't you fill up the remaining places in the imperial capital?"

Hearing this, Zhao Hu frowned and said, "That's good, it's just that when I was promoted to major, I didn't receive the previous letter of permission to recruit personal guards."

"Without a letter of approval, wouldn't that mean that you can only recruit in the place where you serve in the army?" Zhou Wen asked, and after seeing Diou nodded, Zhou Wen immediately said unwillingly: "Really, why can't it work this time? Thanks to me I thought I could find some men to take care of it."

"My lord, why don't you pay a visit to the major of the logistics department last time? If gold coins open the way, your lord should be able to recruit those official slaves again. People from our background are definitely more loyal to your lord than those who recruited themselves." High!" Dio suggested.

Although Zhou Wen and Sun Jie wanted to boast about their loyalty, they thought it was a bit weird to do so, so they could only nod their heads in agreement.

Thinking of the previous decision, and knowing that there are many capable people among the official slaves, Zhao Hu immediately nodded in approval, but was still a little worried: "Will this violate the regulations?"

Diou smiled and shook his head and said, "We are buying official slaves, not recruiting personal guards. It is not considered a violation of the regulations. Moreover, we have spent some money to turn these official slaves into personal guards, and no one is gossiping."

"Okay, let's do that."

After Zhao Hu confirmed, everyone didn't say anything else, and left the hotel neatly.

After Zhao Hu reported to the military department, he immediately went to the logistics department. When the logistics department major recognized Zhao Hu, he was immediately dumbfounded, staring straight at the major rank on Zhao Hu's shoulder.

He couldn't help crying in his heart: "It's unreasonable, how long has this guy been a second lieutenant, and he became a major in just over a year! I spent more than ten years to become a major! If you have a backing, everything will go smoothly, but if you don’t have a backing, you won’t be able to move an inch!"
