Chapter 117 Development Documents

As the Guardian of the North and the Earl of Northern Pioneering, Perficott certainly has the right to canonize a knight, even if the word "pioneering" is added in front of it.

This is her power as the pioneering earl and guardian of the north, and it is also the basis for her to establish her own ruling system and team.

After all, if Purficott was alone, she would not be able to open up the northern border and establish a management system no matter how capable she was.

Under normal circumstances, a pioneering noble would recruit retainers and knights by promising territory, form an army, and delimit his territory through military occupation.

Then he would subdivide the promised part of the occupied territory to his subordinates and let them govern the place, thus establishing a top-down governance system.

In this system, those at the fixed point are naturally the pioneering nobles as feudal lords, while the middle and lower levels are the other large and small nobles and knights he canonized.

These were the basis for maintaining his rule and were also his vassals.

The lord gave land to the vassal, and the vassal was loyal to the lord. This was the most important and fundamental foundation of the feudal system.

Purficott naturally has the same power as a pioneering earl, and her power is slightly greater, that is, she can ennoble pioneering nobles below the earl and let them explore the northern border for her.

Because in theory, this is Perficott's own territory, so she can make a certain range of promises and let her knights or nobles develop new territories, while she provides legal support.

It is precisely because of this that the title of pioneering nobleman is so precious.

And Purficott has also expected that as the news about her obtaining the title of Earl of Exploration and the canonization of the Northern Guardian spread, countless people will want to obtain the right to develop from her in the future, thereby earning a territory and territory for themselves. A hereditary title of nobility.

Oliver was just the first to try something, or find her first.

Purfict had every reason to believe that Colonel Richard and Captain William had the same idea, but they were not as close to him as Oliver, and they were not shameless enough to make such a request.

For Purficott, writing a canonization document for a pioneer knight is really a simple matter.

If she wanted to, with the vast territory of the North, she could even wholesale this thing, canonize one or two thousand pioneer knights and then scatter them all.

No matter from a legal or power perspective, she can do this, and no one can criticize her behavior. The most they can do is laugh at her behind her back for being ridiculous.

But on the surface, these people who would gossip about her behind her back still eagerly approached her and asked her for a development document so that they could obtain a hereditary territory.

Even if it is just a village as big as a palm, it is still a noble territory and can be used as a hereditary basis!

Of course, it is actually a very troublesome thing to confer a large number of pioneer knights. After all, they are all pioneer knights. When they develop their own territories, it is difficult to say that there will be no friction or the intersection of territories.

If anything happens then, it will have to be handled by Perficott, the Guardian of the North.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, Purficott should only confer ordinary nobles and knights and demarcate a limited area of ​​land for them, instead of directly giving them the right to develop. Of course, if there is someone worthy of Purficott's favor, she does not need to be stingy with a development document.

So after thinking about it, she said to Oliver: "A development document? If you want, I can write you one now, but you mentioned the price, so it follows the principle of equivalent exchange In principle, I do still have some requirements.”

"Please give me your orders!" An excited expression appeared on Oliver's face.

Obviously being able to obtain a pioneering document was a very important thing to him, so much so that even if he knew about the end of the world, he still wanted to obtain such a document.

"First of all, you must have the resources and capabilities to support a knight's territory." Purficott told Oliver his requirements, and Oliver quickly took out a small notebook to record these: "Others Needless to say, an armed force composed of at least twenty people is used to maintain the order of the territory and respond to my call. This is the obligation that a vassal must fulfill.

Secondly, I need you to at least build a village in the north that can accommodate more than 500 people, and this village must be able to maintain its existence after the end. "

Having said this, Purficott looked at Oliver in front of him, and after he recorded the two conditions he mentioned, he said to him: "Since you already know about the end of the world, you naturally understand why I made such a request.

Everything in the north now is to prepare for the doomsday in the future, so I will not issue pioneering documents and canonize nobles easily.

But in view of the long-term cooperative relationship between you and me, I am willing to issue a development document for you. After all, it is not that easy to find a supplier of alchemical products that satisfies me. "

"I'm so grateful! Your generosity is comparable to that of a father!" Oliver was so excited that he wanted to kneel down and kiss the hem of Perfectcott's clothes.

However, Purficott stopped him from doing this, and just waved his hand and said: "I also have requirements for giving you these. Among other things, a building that can still provide me with various alchemical products stably after the end of the world. Alchemy Workshop, this is what you must continue to maintain.

If you can't do it, bring it up now and I won't blame you.

But if you promised to fulfill my request but failed to do so after receiving the pioneering documents, then I will take back everything you have, including your life, in the name of the Guardian of the North. "

Obviously, for Purficott, if someone really affects her plan, she is really not afraid to kill someone.

Of course, Oliver knew this clearly.

He assured Purficott: "Please rest assured, my dear lord! You can continue to trust me, just as you trusted me in the past!"

"To be honest, I didn't actually trust you very much in the past." Purficott had a rare moment of humor at this time, but soon she smiled and said: "What I trust is your compliance with the spirit of the contract and your interests. chase.

A pioneering document is precious even now when the end is approaching, and it also means great benefits to you.

So I believe you can handle the responsibilities it brings. After all, as my first vassal, I will be very troubled if you don't perform well. "
