full-time lord

Chapter 161
While Zhao Feng was enjoying the delicious food, he only heard a report from the sentinel outside the door: "Lord Lord, a letter from the imperial capital, please check it."

"Okay." Zhao Feng put down the bowl and went to get the letter.

During the year in the territory, Zhao Feng often met Jerry.Evans communicated to ask for some of his opinions and suggestions for the construction of the territory.Even during the war, never stop.

jerry.Many of Evans' strategies for defeating the Carlos came from Zhao Feng's letters.Since he has read a lot of military books and the like in modern times, Zhao Feng's ability to talk about military affairs on paper is not bad.Although sometimes the opinions seem very ridiculous and naive, but sometimes, his whimsy can also be given to Jerry.Evans different perspectives and new ideas.

Zhao Feng also made some telescopes and incendiary bombs he invented and gave them to Jerry.Evans, came in handy.

Of course, these are not free gifts, but gold coins are charged.

But compared to the insignificant gold coins, the incendiary bombs and binoculars made by Zhao Feng played a huge role in the war, directly turning the tide of the battle and saving the lives of many soldiers.

Zhao Feng did not ask for his name and achievements to be made public. For him, it would be better to keep a low profile, so at least it would not attract the attention of the imperial capital.And Jerry.Evans also thinks the same way, so all of this is transmitted through the Imperial Military Intelligence, and the information will not be exposed.

These correspondences have deepened the relationship between Zhao Feng and Jerry.Evans' affection.For this cheap grandfather, Zhao Feng respects and loves him as if he treated his own grandfather.

Back then in modern times, his grandfather had passed away when he was born, and he had never met his grandfather at all, so he did not experience this kind of relationship between grandparents and grandchildren.

In another world, he made up for this previous regret.

"What are you going to say this time?" Zhao Feng took off the sealing wax on the letter, took out the letter paper, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help showing a thoughtful expression.

"What did you write?" Seeing Zhao Feng's appearance, Afra couldn't help asking.

Zhao Feng put the letter away and said: "One year has passed so quickly, it has passed in a blink of an eye. Now I have to leave the territory and go to the imperial capital."

"Emperor Capital?" Hearing the news, everyone was a little puzzled, but Bernice didn't respond, but lowered her head while eating, and said in a cold voice, "It seems that the Earl has to be promoted to a nobleman."

"Is that so?" Hearing Bernice's words, everyone showed surprise expressions.

Zhao Feng nodded and said: "The letter said that I have come of age, I have to go to the imperial capital to attend the coming-of-age ceremony, and I have to accept the imperial title canonization ceremony by the way."

"Wow, that's amazing, what kind of title is this time?" Hearing Zhao Feng's words, Aphra said happily.

Zhao Feng said: "Of course it was promoted to Marquis. However, it is only a second-class Marquis, and it has been promoted to about three levels at once, thanks to Grandpa!"

The titles of the empire are divided into titles such as princes, princes, sons, and sons. For example, dukes and marquises enjoy the salary of the empire and the treatment of nobles, and they have superb treatment such as free fees and territorial autonomy.Each title is divided into three levels, divided into first-class, second-class, or third-class titles, which are used to receive salaries and stipulate the obligations and treatment enjoyed. The difference is not particularly big.Most of the aristocracy are not short of money, except for some declining aristocrats.

The high title of the empire can be inherited hereditary, but it needs to be inherited by one level, and can only be inherited by one heir.Like Zhao Feng, but Jerry.The only grandson of the Duke of Evans, he owns the family's territory and the right to inherit the title.After his death, Zhao Feng can also inherit the title of Marquis.

However, this time probably due to the great victory of the imperial army, Roland III specially used it to promote Jerry.The title of Evans' grandson, for his merits!

As the only marshal and first-class duke of the empire, Jerry.Evans has reached the highest glory in life, at the pinnacle, and can't go any further.

However, his glory can be shared by the family.But thanks to Jerry.Evans' family was sparsely populated. Although they had made great military exploits, they had lost countless lives in battle.

This blood-stained glory fell on Zhao Feng.

Zhao Feng didn't know that at his young age, he had already become the youngest marquis in the history of the empire.As an aristocrat of non-royal blood, it is unique for him to reach this position at his age.

However, Zhao Feng is not uncommon for such titles.For him, it's not as affordable as money or something else.

But in the eyes of everyone, this is a real honor!
"Lord Marquis!"

Most of the people here are civilians, and few of them are of noble origin.For them, the title is a very honorable thing, which can glorify the whole family.

Although it is said that the Mundra Empire has undergone some reforms, which has weakened the rights of some nobles and opened up the purchase of titles.As long as you have money, you can buy the most precious baron.But the concepts of status and titles are still deeply ingrained in the hearts of everyone, and it is difficult to change.For example, the reason why many people here hate nobles is also because of jealousy.After all, there is still a big gap in status between nobles and commoners.

Many high-ranking nobles do not intermarry with commoners at all, for fear of affecting their bloodlines.

"Congratulations, my lord, you have been promoted to Marquis!" After hearing the news, everyone happily congratulated and congratulated Zhao Feng.

Zhao Feng frowned and said: "You only saw the good side. In fact, there is a very tricky side to this matter. Going to the imperial capital is a very dangerous thing!"

In the letter, Jerry.Evans also explained to Zhao Feng that the entire aristocratic circle in the imperial capital felt very upset when they heard the news, and they were very jealous of Zhao Feng.

Someone threatened to show Zhao Feng some color.

Although Zhao Feng showed a very powerful side in Sunset City, after that, he was very low-key most of the time and didn't show much limelight, so the people in the imperial capital didn't know about him. strength.Moreover, no matter how good he is outside, the nobles of the imperial capital will not pay attention.

Their eyes will always only stay in the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital.A trivial matter such as a noble family's dog getting sick and dying in the imperial capital is more worthy of their attention and concern than turmoil or famine in other places.

Besides, Roger.Merada's family also stared at Zhao Feng, ready to plot something.

During the year the reason Roger.Melada was much more stable, mainly because the war between Mundra and Carlo attracted his attention.Thanks Jerry.Evans has the military power in his hands. At this time, it is impossible for him to easily offend the Marshal of the Empire. That is a very unwise choice.

In time of war, Jerry.Evans was the most powerful man in the empire.Even the prime minister of the empire can only do logistical work for him.

If you offend Jerry.Evans, maybe his life will be lost.If he is assassinated, it may cause the kingdom or great chaos.Roger.What Melada wants is the throne, not being a subject of subjugation.

Beyond that, Jerry.Evans also reminded Zhao Feng to be careful and not to be careless, so as not to be injured by the killer sent by the Carlo Empire.

Due to the disastrous defeat in the war, there are many extremists in the Carlo Empire, who attribute the responsibility for the defeat to Jerry.Evans' body.To this end, they sent a lot of killers, trying to assassinate Jerry.evans.

But, thanks to Jerry.The strong defense force around Evans, coupled with his superb skills, made dozens of plots to assassinate him go bankrupt.

An angry Carlo declared that he must return blood with blood, avenge the death of one hundred thousand soldiers, and let Jerry.Evans tastes the pain of bereavement.

Although this is just a rumor, it is very likely to be true.jerry.Evans' attitude towards this matter is that he would rather believe it than believe it, and told Zhao Feng to be careful.Although the matter in front of me is a great honor, but behind the glory, there is also a great danger.

"I don't think so much, let's talk about it when I go! Anyway, I haven't traveled for a long time. This time, I can also see the scenery of other places by the way."

Zhao Feng didn't want to discourage everyone's enthusiasm, and said: "Don't envy my title, this time I go to the imperial capital, and I will help you apply for the title. If there is no accident, I can get ten to twenty baron places."

As the lord of the territory and the status of the Marquis of the Empire, Zhao Feng can confer some titles in the territory.Although this title is also at the lowest level, at least it can be used to decorate the appearance.

"Long live!" Hearing this news, Victor, Zauri, Aphra and others were very excited.For this title, they value it very much.

As for Maria and Priest Xiali, they didn't care because they served gods.And because Bernice is a member of the Military Intelligence Department, she has a lot of hidden identities, so she doesn't care much about this so-called noble title.

The most exciting of them all was Bayliss, the recruited Sand Bandit.He didn't expect that he, who was the most humble sand thief, would one day have the opportunity to have a title and become a nobleman.

"Okay, everyone, don't get excited. I will draw up the list here. In addition to titles, you can also get some official titles. Although, I have appointed your positions. However, if you go to the imperial capital to report, This can be recognized nationwide."

Zhao Feng looked at the excited crowd and shook his head.Afterwards, he drew up a detailed list with Bernice and the others, and prepared to send it to the imperial capital for formal confirmation.

Seeing that this year's hard work has not only exchanged for gold coins and food, but also exchanged for official positions and titles, the people in this territory are all beaming and full of energy.
