Chapter 352 Obtaining a fief
Hearing Elena begging for mercy, Kailinna let go.

Elena rubbed her blushing face and whispered, "Sister, didn't you stay in the fortress with Grandpa? Why are you back?"

"Come back and have a look." Karina didn't explain much.

Elena let out an oh, and didn't continue to ask.

Gao Feng looked at the two of them, but he really didn't think that these two were relatives, so he didn't know if they were relatives or not.

By the way, Elena's name is Aunt Kailinna, so how old is Kailinna?
The woman's age can't be seen from her body. Her appearance is at most 25 or [-] years old. There are no wrinkles on her face, and her skin is smooth and fair, like a girl.

Kailinna and Elena briefly said a few words, then whispered to Gao Feng: "His Majesty the Emperor has selected three territories for you, remember to choose the Baiyan collar later."

Gao Feng did not agree, but asked, "Can you tell me about the situation of the three territories?"

Kailinna said angrily: "I chose for you, but you still don't want to? Hmph, I don't know good people, so let me tell you, three territories, two small and one big, the first territory is Hongye collar, It is just near Hongye City, with an area of ​​[-] miles, [-] villages and [-] small towns in the territory, with a total population of [-]."

"The second territory is Baiyan Territory, with an area of ​​5 miles, [-] villages, [-] small towns, and a total population of [-]."

"The third territory is Montenegro, with an area of ​​one thousand miles and a town with a total population of 3000."

"The area of ​​Montenegro is so big?" Gao Feng said salivatingly.

"I knew you would like the Black Mountain Territory. Do you really think that the bigger the territory, the better? Do you really think that there are still such good things happening to you now? A territory with a range of thousands of miles is given to you?" Kailinna said mockingly .

After thinking about it, Gao Feng thought it made sense, so he asked, "Then tell me carefully, what is the difference between these three territories."

"The first territory has the largest population, but this territory is remote, economically underdeveloped, and there is no room for development. Even if you get the territory, it is dispensable to you. Of course, this territory can also be said It is the most secure territory."

"The second territory has a small population and a small area, but the location of this territory is excellent. It is on the traffic road and the economy is relatively developed. After you get the territory, you can get a lot of income every year, but this territory also has problems. , that is, there are many nobles in and around the territory, and the forces are mixed, which may bring you some troubles, but it is definitely more than enough to deal with these troubles with your strength."

"The third territory, the Heishan Territory, hehe, do you know where the Heishan Territory is? The Heishan Territory was originally called Moyun Ridge. A war broke out between the Empire and the Sea Clan on Moyun Ridge 500 years ago. That war wiped out the entire Moyun Mountain. When it was broken, thousands of miles of fertile land was turned into scorched land, which is where the name of Montenegro comes from.”

"Not only does the Black Mountain Territory have no mines, but the geographical location is poor, let alone any special products, and the population is extremely small. There are only 3000 people in the Black Mountain Town. The only attractive thing about the Black Mountain Territory is that the land is large enough. The entire territory of Montenegro is three thousand miles away."

"But you must know one thing, the territory has to pay taxes to the empire. There are two tax collection methods for the territory. One is to collect taxes according to the degree of economic prosperity. Like those commercial territories, they are all taxed. .”

"The other is to collect taxes based on the area of ​​the territory. The larger the area of ​​the territory, the more taxes need to be paid. The area of ​​the Black Mountain Forest is large and the economy is low. Naturally, the tax is paid according to the area, and the calculation is based on the area of ​​the Black Mountain. The taxes, the taxes that need to be paid every year, will become a heavy burden on you."

"Well, you have a lot of gold coins, so you don't need to care about taxes, but the purpose of the territory is to obtain benefits, not to become a burden. Does a territory with only burdens make sense to you?"

After Kailinna finished speaking, Gao Feng immediately asked: "You said just now that the Empire and the Sea Clan had a war in Moyunling 500 years ago. Is this Sea Clan from the sea?"

"Of course!"

"So that means, Montenegro is connected to the sea?" Gao Feng asked eagerly.

"Of course." Carina nodded.

"Haha, that's great, I choose Montenegro." Gao Feng said pleasantly.

Kailinna said speechlessly: "Didn't you listen to me? Heishanling is a barren land. What do you want Heishanling to do? And do you know that Heishanling is close to the sea of ​​death, and it is the sea tribe who attacked the land?" One of the roads, what if the war with the Sea Clan breaks out again?"

Gao Feng smiled slightly and said confidently: "I know, but have you ever heard a saying that the greater the risk, the greater the benefit? The two territories in front are too limited and far less promising than Heishanling , and to me, the ordinary territory is meaningless at all, more of it is not much, less of it is much, only Montenegro Territory can meet my requirements."

Kailinna sighed slightly, and stopped persuading, but she didn't know why, knowing that Gao Feng did not follow her persuasion and chose the comfortable white rock collar, but chose the sinister Black Mountain Ridge, she still had a faint feeling of joy in her heart .

Not long after, His Majesty the Emperor sent someone to summon Gao Feng to go. Sure enough, he told Gao Feng about the territory and let Gao Feng choose.

Three territories, Red Leaf Territory, White Rock Territory, and Montenegro Territory.

Gao Feng made a thoughtful look, and then said that the largest area of ​​the Montenegro Territory seemed to be greedy for the huge area of ​​the Montenegro Territory.

His Majesty the Emperor, it seemed that he couldn't bear to cheat Gao Feng, and told Gao Gao about the advantages and disadvantages of the territory, so that Gao Gao could think carefully about whether to choose other territories.

This is His Majesty the Emperor showing his favor.

Gao Feng expressed his gratitude, but still insisted on getting the Montenegrin collar.

His Majesty the Emperor nodded and granted his territory the Montenegro Territory.

His Majesty the Emperor encouraged Gao Feng a few more words, asking him to make persistent efforts and make more contributions to the empire.

Gao Feng naturally agreed.

Gao Feng bid farewell and left, returning to the banquet.

"Your news is really well-informed." Gao Feng looked at Kailinna and said with emotion.

Elena said strangely: "Mr. Gao, don't you know who she is? She is naturally well-informed."

"Well, Kai Linna really hasn't told me about her real identity. What's the difference in her identity?" Gao Feng wondered.

Kailinna looked at Elena viciously, Elena stuck out her tongue, and said quickly: "I have to leave beforehand, if you have any questions, you should ask my aunt, haha."

After speaking, without waiting for Kailinna to make a move, she slipped away immediately.

"Damn little girl." Kailinna said angrily.

Gao Feng looked at Kailina thoughtfully, and had some guesses about her identity.

It's just that her identity doesn't seem to have much to do with me, and it's not too important.

Gao Feng looked towards Meng Na's location, and found that there was a circle of men and women surrounding Meng Na, of whom two-thirds were noble youths, and there were many handsome men, which made Gao Feng a little jealous, even though Meng Na Their joking didn't have much reaction, and it made Gao Feng feel uncomfortable.

Gao Feng is still a very possessive man in his heart, especially for his own woman.

Following Gao Feng's gaze, Kailinna also saw Mengna, and Kailinna said lightly, "What? I've fallen in love with her, do you want me to introduce her to you?"

"You two also know each other?" Gao Feng asked.

Kailinna smiled and said, "The pearl of the prince's family, the most beautiful princess in the empire, the number one beauty in Glory City, who doesn't know her."

"I heard jealousy, envy and hatred in your voice." Gao Feng said solemnly.

"You can go to hell." Kailinna said fiercely, picked up a glass of red wine, turned and left.

Gao Feng smiled helplessly, but the woman just couldn't say it.

Just as Kailinna left, the archbishop in white robe walked over slowly.

The archbishop smiled and said, "Light is eternal, may the Lord be with you and me."

Gao Feng saluted with a smile, and immediately said: "Brightness is eternal."

The archbishop looked at Gao Feng and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Your Excellency Earl. Being able to become a feudal noble in the Glorious Empire by relying on one's own ability is an extremely difficult task. I admire such a difficult achievement."

"You are too polite." Gao Feng said modestly.

The archbishop said: "I heard that His Excellency the Earl has already selected the territory. I don't know if there is a need for the church to settle in. I can send a bishop to lead the team to settle in."

Gao Feng was stunned for a moment. It is not uncommon to establish the Holy See in the territory, but it is relatively rare for the archbishop to take the initiative to settle in, and let a bishop lead a team to settle in. This standard is quite high.

The status of a bishop is lower than that of an archbishop, and they are usually held by five-star bright priests. If there is a bishop leading the church in the territory, it will undoubtedly have important practical significance for the medical conditions of the territory.

With the status and strength of a bishop, it is more than enough to manage a church in a city, but now he is sent to Gaofeng's territory, which is definitely an expression of goodwill and assistance.

Regarding this kind of kindness and assistance, Gao Feng was very cautious, and said gratefully: "Thank you for your kindness, I will seriously consider it."

The archbishop smiled. He knew what Gao Feng was worried about, so he didn't continue to persuade him. He only needed to express his kindness.

When necessary, this kindness will help to establish the interests between the two.

The archbishop suddenly lowered his voice and said: "I have suggested to His Majesty the Emperor to seal the canonization process, and His Majesty has already agreed. Earl Gao Feng does not need to worry about this matter."

"Thank you Archbishop." Gao Feng said gratefully, this thank you was more sincere than before.

With such a gag order, it can save Gao Feng a lot of trouble.

In fact, Gao Feng was also confused about what happened to him during the canonization ceremony, but he had a feeling that this incident must have something to do with his supernatural power and that stone tablet.

As for whether it is necessary, I will not know until I go back and check.
