Heroes of Silver Moon

What Marquis Kim never forgot is to obtain a piece of fiefdom that truly belongs to him. Fiefdom is a very precious thing, and it is the key to a noble family's maintenance of inheritance.

Nobles with fiefdoms can make the family last for a long time, and their family territories and titles can be passed down from generation to generation, so they are called real-feudal nobles.

Nobles without fiefs, such as the Marquis of Kim, whose territories and titles cannot be passed on to the next generation, are called false nobles.

Some aristocrats were even worse and only got one title of nobility. Among them, some of them were ancestors who lost their territories due to various reasons, so they did not inherit the fiefdoms.

Some of them were awarded titles because of their outstanding political achievements, but those who were not granted fiefdoms were basically court nobles.

There is also a part of the collateral descendants of the royal family that have been passed down for several generations. Their ancestors are all direct descendants of the royal family, but because there is no fiefdom, they decline from generation to generation.

That's why Marquis Kim always wanted to have a fief.

In this way, after several generations, the family can still maintain the dignity of the nobles, but if they want to obtain the territory from the king, they must have great military exploits, which Marquis Kim cannot do.

There are fewer wars in the southern border, and they are basically concentrated near the Gelu Mountains.

Twenty years ago, Marquis Kim also wanted to obtain the fief through military exploits, so he acted as the commander of the lord's coalition forces through operations.

But because he underestimated the enemy, he plunged headlong into the encirclement of the barbarians, and he was responsible for most of the faults in that battle.

This basically directly cut off the way for him to obtain fiefdom through military exploits.

It is also basically impossible for other sealed nobles to transfer their fiefs to him. Marquis Kim knew in his heart that he had nothing in his hands that could allow nobles to transfer their fiefdoms.

Until now, His Majesty the King wanted to open a comprehensive academy, and he sent a precious admission qualification certificate for the magic school to the father of Marquis Kim, Duke Gasepe.

Marquis Kim immediately realized that his opportunity had come. He knew that his father had wanted to train a mage, but he failed in the end.

There is no particular reason, it is because of the cost of money, legal professions are not like warrior professions, as long as you are in good health, have suitable training methods, and work hard for a few years, you can become a qualified warrior.

A mage is a profession that is very talented. It is too difficult for a person with no talent or average talent to become a mage.

Of course, it is not completely impossible.

On the contrary, most of the current mages are very average in talent, so why can they all become mages?

Is it because of burning money and lack of talent for meditation? Buy meditation potions; not enough talent to purify magic power? Buy magic potions; if you don't have enough spellcasting talent, then buy more spellcasting materials to practice.

Back then, Grand Duke Gaseppe got such an opportunity to train a mage, so after careful consideration, he decided to train a mage belonging to his own faction.

But after spending countless gold coins, Grand Duke Gaseppe painfully realized that there is a certain reason for the legal profession to be so bossy all day long. This is really a waste of money.

Under the persuasion of His Majesty the King, Grand Duke Gaseppe finally gave up the idea of ​​continuing to train.

And the mage who was abandoned by Grand Duke Gaseppe is now only able to reach the intermediate level, serving as a magic consultant with Grand Duke Gaseppe.

After knowing that His Majesty the King gave his father, Grand Duke Gasepe, a qualification certificate for admission to the Magic Academy, Marquis Kim immediately found his father.

Marquis Kim knew that his father would never train another mage, and he also knew that his father had always been bitter about not getting a hereditary fief for the family.

Even though His Majesty the King trusts Grand Duke Gaseppe very much, such things as fiefs cannot be given indiscriminately.

Once the area of ​​the aristocratic territory in the kingdom greatly exceeds the territory controlled by the royal family, then who has the final say in the entire kingdom?

Therefore, the king strictly controlled things like fiefdom, and the king would not give it to him unless he had made great military exploits, even to his most valued brother.

After Marquis Kim found Grand Duke Gaseppe, he patted his chest and told his father that he would definitely be able to exchange that admission qualification certificate for a barony.

The title and territory system of the Silver Moon Kingdom uses the common system in the Human Alliance. This system was first formulated by the Holy Alliance Empire, and then followed by other human kingdoms and duchies.

In this system, the lowest level is the tenant farmers, who are regarded as the private property of the lord. They have no personal freedom, cannot leave the land of the lord, and do not have their own farmland.

You can only rent the lord's farmland to get by, and the lord has no reason to execute the tenant farmers, and you don't need to pay any price, because it belongs to the lord's own property.

The second is civilians. In some other places, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is also called free people.

They have personal freedom and can go wherever they want, but because they own their own farmland, they generally don't run around, except for adventurers and mercenaries.

If they live in the lord's fiefdom, then they have to pay taxes to the lord. What tax to collect and how much to pay are determined by the lord.

If you live in a territory controlled by the royal family, you only need to pay the king, the tax stipulated by law.

The nobles had to pay a large amount of fines to the king for killing civilians for no reason, because it belonged to the king's property, and the specific amount of the fine was determined by the size of the title.

Above the common people is the subordinate class, they have almost the same rights as the common people.

But their farmland is completely their own, about 10 to 30 mu, which can be passed on to the next generation, and they don't have to pay farmland taxes to anyone.

The retinues located in the lord's fief, they will take up some small positions in the lord's territory, and when the war comes, they will prepare their own weapons and equipment, and respond to the lord's call to fight.

As for the servants of the royal family's territory, their rights and obligations are the same as those of the lord's fiefdom, except that in the royal family's territory, their roles are generally lower-level officials.

Unless the subordinate goes against the will of the lord or the king, or violates some of the more serious laws of the country, such as treason, murder and the like.

Otherwise, the lord and the king would not easily execute the subordinates, because the subordinates are basically useful talents.

The three classes of tenant farmers, free people, and retinues all belong to the common class.

If a servant makes great contributions, he will be canonized as a knight by the lord or the king. This class already belongs to the scope of the nobility and has the title of knight
