Pioneering

Chapter 68
In the hall, Zhong Ming held up a glass of fine wine and persuaded everyone to drink: "Everyone, drink this glass to the brim!"

After finishing speaking, Zhong Ming drank it all in one gulp, turned the glass upside down, and signaled to drink it up.

Many nobles followed suit and took a drink from their glasses.

Gwent, who had a rough appearance, realized the fact that his arms couldn't hold his thighs, so he decided to lick it:
"Okay, my lord earl is huge! It is worthy of being young and promising, and a hero..., no wonder you can make such a big fortune."

Zhong Ming said approvingly: "Haha, Sir Gwent is really a man, I didn't expect to be so good at talking."

"Where is it, the Earl is overrated." Gwent said with a smile.

……

After a long time, the wine is full of people.

Zhong Ming clapped his hands and said:

"Gentlemen, I think everyone is drinking to their heart's content, so let's start the soil giving ceremony."

After speaking, Zhong Ming led the crowd back to the fort. At this time, a temporary wooden platform appeared in the center of the fort.

For the canonization of minor nobles, it would be nice to have a wooden platform, but some feudal ceremonies ended hastily in any place.

Zhong Ming stood on the wooden platform, holding an official document in his hand, and read aloud:
"From now on, in the name of Ming Zhong, Earl of Devonshire, under the witness of the gods,

Conferred the title of Baron Milas in the area north of Dock Town, south of Kirk Town, east of the Durell Mountains, and west of the Kraven River;
Canonize Gwent Stevens as Baron Stevens of the ... region;
Canonize Cook Hand as Baron Hand of the ... region;

Canonize Molde Laers as the Baron of Laers in the... region;
……

Canonize ** as a knight of the ... region. "

Cook, who had changed his clothes, said, "My lord, are you making some mistakes?"

Zhong Ming feigned surprise and said, "That's right, I didn't make a mistake about your original titles, right?"

Cook couldn't help but say:

"But, but, this land is wrong. I was originally in..., and your conferment is..., isn't it too far away?"

Only then did Zhong Ming look suddenly enlightened, and said:

"Oh, I see.

Blame me, blame me, you know, I'm not familiar with the place, so it's inevitable that I made a mistake.

Just like you, didn't you find the way to me after looking for more than 20 weizuos (day and night).

I have already sent out the official document. My reputation has just been established, and it is really not easy to change it day and night.

Or, you guys, just do it? "

When everyone heard what Zhong Ming said, they immediately understood that their new lord still hadn't completely let go of this hurdle, and that he was going to beat him.

Made a mistake?

Can you get all the fief positions wrong by making a mistake?

By mistake, we can concentrate our group of people in southwestern Devonshire?
Once this official document is implemented, all the nobles here, one or two Zoyas (480 days and nights) don't want to do anything, just get busy moving!
After finally taking root in the current territory, who is willing to spend time and energy to do it all over again? ,

How much does it cost?
Everyone dissuaded them one after another: "Your Earl, think twice, this..."

Zhong Ming pretended to be ashamed and said:

"Oh, I can't help it either.

This official document has already been promulgated, and I have also registered with the principality, and it is already too much to recover. "

"But..." Gwent wanted to say something else.

Zhong Ming interrupted Gwent impatiently, and said:

"Stop, stop, say so.

Let's see, the land I newly sealed to you is not much worse than your original one, right?
Even better and bigger? "

This is true.

Zhong Ming now controls [-]% of the land in Devon County, but it is divided into small pieces by these scattered noble territories.

Once the transfer of the territory is realized, the territory directly under Zhong Ming's control will drop to [-]% of Devon County, but the territories will be concentrated and connected into one piece.

For these nobles, the territory became slightly larger, and the soil and climate were no worse than before.

For Zhong Ming, the territories can be centralized and linked together, which is convenient for administration and rule.

In Zhong Ming's eyes, this is naturally a win-win thing for you, me, everyone.

Looking at the silent crowd, Zhong Ming's face turned cold instantly, and the monstrous evil spirit leaked out again, and he said expressionlessly:

"Well, since this is the case, I will bear all the migration expenses for you.

You list the cost of the migration, report the bill, and report as you arrive, without delay.

In addition, I will compensate an additional [-] gold coins for the relocation of the Barony Land, and an additional [-] gold coins for the relocation of the Knight Land, which can be regarded as compensation for you.

how about it? "

As Zhong Ming said "How?", the terrifying howling of the Void Hound suddenly sounded outside the hall.

Everyone complained in their hearts:
What else?Can we disagree?Are you refusing it now, and you will let the dog bite you the next moment?
Cook first walked on the brink of genocide when Zhong Ming cleaned him, and today he was scared into incontinence by Zhong Ming, but after Zhong Ming kindly asked him to take him to clean and change clothes, he had a feeling for Zhong Ming instead. A little awe and affection.

After hearing Zhong Ming's conditions, Cook gritted his teeth and spoke first:

"My lord earl is really generous and generous, and his righteousness is beyond the sky!
I, Cook, are the first to agree with the Earl's proposal! "

what happened?Cook, aren't you the most dissatisfied with the new owner?How did you kneel so fast?
There is a saying that is good:

People like to compromise. If you want to open a skylight in the house, everyone will definitely not allow it.

But if you advocate removing the roof, they will come to mediate and are willing to open the skylight.

At first Zhong Ming did not give money to demolish and relocate, the nobles naturally strongly resisted; now Zhong Ming asks everyone to move with the demolition fee and compensation, the nobles feel that it is not so unacceptable.

Everyone: There is no way to kneel together, anyway, there is still some money to get, the new home is not bad, isn't it?

"I, Gwent, also agree with the Earl's proposal."

"I, Kewen, also agree..."

"I……"

Soon, the canonization official document was unanimously agreed by everyone.

All the nobles stepped forward to swear allegiance one by one, then knelt down on one knee and clapped their hands together. They took a branch representing the land from Zhong Ming one by one, and were slapped firmly by Zhong Ming in turn.

The feudal soil-giving ceremony was considered complete, and everyone established a real feudal relationship with Zhong Ming.

Zhong Ming thought for a while, and said to the void hound Herta in front of him:
"Hertha, help me inform Anger and Kesha Lena, let them come to the fort."

At this moment, Anger was busy supervising the work of his "Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Cubs" in the city hall not far from the castle, and Kesalina helped organize some important documents in her study on the second floor of the main building of the castle.

As the daughter of a wealthy businessman, Kesha Lina is literate.

Soon, Ange, who was out of breath, and Kesha Lina, who was very generous, arrived one after another.

Zhong Ming stepped forward and hugged the lovely Kesha Lena, and lightly kicked An Ge who wanted to ask Zhong Ming for a hug.

"Kesalina, I have a gift for you." Zhong Ming kissed Kesalina's forehead and said softly.

Then Zhong Ming glanced at Ange who had matured a lot, nodded, and said to Ange, "You have it too."

Without waiting for the two to ask, Zhong Ming boarded the wooden platform again, and under the witness of many nobles, he took out an official document and announced:
"From now on, in the name of Ming Zhong, Earl of Devonshire, under the witness of the gods,

Canonize Kesarina Badraco as the knight of **Village, **Village, and **Village;

Canonize Ang Ur as the knight of **Village, **Village, and **Village. "

A bright future, Zhong Ming promised to go out, and never broke his promise.
