The turtle is very cool, very cool.
Grabbing the reward order of the emperor's handwriting, one of the turtle's mouths has not been closed for a quarter of an hour, laughing a few times from time to time, and the appearance of his eyebrows fluttering, he is a "villain" face.
"Hmph, you kid" Ruer couldn't look at it from the side, and couldn't help but want to say something, but before he could speak, the turtle glared at him: "What kid, hey, it's time to call me Lord Baron now hahaha, Lord Baron, Lord Baron" Baron, this is a baronial title, with this reward order, my Uncle Char will be a nobleman from now on. is no longer the little turtle that crawled out of the mountains, no longer the penniless little hunter, but has become a "noble lord".
Ruer looked at the turtle speechlessly, and felt the urge to strangle this guy.
Damn, Lao Tzu worked hard, enlisted in the army for many years, was born and died, and only then did he spell out a viscount title, this kid was less than twenty years old, and the first time he enlisted in the army to fight, he took shit luck, and he actually got a baron from the title, which is already only one level lower than himself No, not inferior In fact, what makes Ruhl helpless is that this boy's baron is actually far greater than his own viscount in terms of value.
According to the rank of the Imperial Title: Duke and Uncle.
Although the viscount is higher than the baron, there are actually more complex algorithms in terms of specifics.
For example, in addition to the rank, the title itself is divided into two types: lifetime titles and hereditary titles.
A lifetime title is more of a glorious title, such as the Viscount of Fat Ruhr, which is for life.
This title cannot be inherited hereditarily, that is, after the death of the fat man in the future, the title of this viscount cannot be passed on to his descendants.
And the lifelong title can also get a territory, but such a territory is more in name: for example, the fat man now has a territory belonging to his viscount, but he actually has no real control over the territory, and that land is actually still under the direct management of the imperial political axe, and the fat man, the nominal lord, can only get a share of his share of the tax revenue of that territory every year.
At the same time, he had no right to interfere in the affairs of the territory, nor did he have the right to establish his own private army.
But the hereditary aristocracy is completely different.
Even among the nobility of the empire, there were some radical conservative people who insisted that only the hereditary aristocracy was the real aristocracy.
Hereditary nobility has titles that can be passed down from generation to generation, and at the same time have real control over their own territories, and can appoint consuls of the territory, control government affairs, and also have the right to levy taxes.
In addition to the national taxes required by the Empire, the lord has the right to levy new taxes within his own domain, as long as you have the ability to control the people in your territory and not riot.
At the same time, even the lord can set some new laws in the realm, and has the power to judge and convict.
You can also set up a private army of your own according to the level of your title and the size of your territory, and these private armies are also regarded as the private property of the nobles, and the imperial government has no right to interfere.
To put it simply, the territory under the leadership of the hereditary aristocracy is the real state within a state.
And what makes Ruhl blushful is that his viscount is for life, and this baron of the turtle is hereditary, far more than his own viscount from the actual addition.
As for the turtle himself, after receiving this reward order, after Ruhr explained to him the difference between hereditary nobility and lifetime titles, the turtle obviously became extremely excited Doesn't that mean that in the future, in his own territory, he will be as lawless as the Emperor of the Earth, and no one can control his rampant and domineering When Ruhl casually gave a few examples, telling the story of how a few greedy nobles abused their power in their own domains in the empire, for example, a certain lustful nobleman issued a new decree in his domain: the nobleman's first night power ordered all the people in his domain, any family married, the bride must contribute to serve the lord on the first night, this story immediately made the turtle's eyes widen, and his eyes reddened.
"Hmph" Looking at the demented and yearning look of the turtle, Ruer hated it so much that he couldn't help but smack: "You little turtle, don't be happy too early about this knighthood, although His Majesty's reward order is written, but the matter of knighthood has to be reviewed, do you think it is a simple matter to be crowned a nobleman, I tell you, there are still more hands and tails in the back, first of all, you must review your last three generations of relatives, including the name, background and bloodline of all immediate family members, and then your own knighthood qualifications."
According to your surname, the historical background of your family lineage is verified, and those profound court scholars, those experts who are proficient in heraldry science will be identified, and finally according to the system, set a new coat of arms for your family, don't look at me, you will be a nobleman in the future, of course, you need a family emblem that belongs to your family.
These checkpoints must be fully verified and reviewed, and if any level fails to be audited, it may be stuck.
Although you have the title of Your Majesty, if the Council of Nobles strongly opposes it, then it may force Your Majesty to retract your order. ” Char was a little stupid.
Anything else is easy to say, but it is necessary to verify the last three generations of one's immediate family Uncle Ben is an orphan, it was the old guy who picked him up from the wild, and as for who his biological mother is, how do he know also researched the bloodline and surname, and he has a bullshit bloodline, even if it is this surname, it is all the old guy who patted his head indiscriminately and came up with it.
What Char thunders and thunders on a rainy day Seeing that the turtle's momentum was a little weak, Ruer felt a little happy in his heart.
In fact, these so-called examinations are very strict in the establishment of the empire, but with the current political situation, for thousands of years, the so-called aristocratic council has already existed in name only, and in the emperor's words, these research work is just a formality.
Just seeing this turtle so proud, the fat man didn't want him to have too much fun.
"Your Majesty's reward order, I think that this baron's title is not the heaviest reward."
Ruer was satisfied with the arrogance of the turtle after striking it, and said to the turtle: "There are three rewards for you this time, and in my opinion, the most valuable rewards are the latter two."
There are three in this reward order: first, Char Leiming conferred the title of baron, which was submitted to the Imperial Council of Nobles for review.
Second, because of his outstanding performance in the battle, Char Thundering was appointed as the inaugural commander of the county garrison of Moore County, and also the consul of the garrison of Denzel City.
Morshire is located on the northern border of the Empire, while Denzel is a small town not far from the border.
This time from the wildfire field south to Byzantium, Char's first stop was through the city of Denzel, where the temporary military headquarters of the war zone was set up in this war with the Odin.
When he came to Yanjing this time, he also went through the formalities at the Denzel Temporary Military Headquarters.
What makes Char somewhat happy is that at least this place is close to his "hometown" Wildfire Field.
And Denzel City is only two days away from Wildfire Town.
Ruhr explains this more thoroughly: "County Mor was an important county on the northern border of the empire, where grain was produced and the oil and water of the border trade.
Such a good place would not have been your turn, but the Odin are to the north, and every time there is a war with the Odin, the first to be affected is Mor County.
So even though it's a good place, no one dares to go there.
According to the Byzantine imperial political system, the local government axe implemented a system of separation of military and government, and the supreme head of the administration of a county was the county governor, and the supreme leader of military power was the county guard and military chief.
Generally speaking, government affairs and military power do not interfere with each other.
From the point of view of the imperial system, the commanders of the county garrison in each county are at the level of the flag and regiment, and in terms of your military merits, you have performed well on the battlefield, and you have great achievements in defending the station, and more importantly, you have two qualifications that others cannot match: First, you have a prominent record of wounding Hastings on the battlefield.
As for the second one, don't forget, you also killed an Odin prince on the battlefield His Royal Highness Although the royal family of Odin is prosperous, Odin's prince is not valuable, but after all, a prince is a prince, and you kill an enemy prince on the battlefield, this credit is not small.

You were originally a cavalry commander, a low-ranking officer, and above the cavalry commander there were chief and deputy battalion officers, as well as the chief and deputy flag regiment flag officers.
If you jump from a cavalry commander to the flag regiment level, you have already jumped three or four levels in a row in one breath, which is equivalent to stepping from a low-level officer to the pinnacle position of a middle-level officer, and then you will enter the ranks of generals Originally, although this kind of promotion is scary, but judging from the merits you have made, it is barely acceptable, but according to the normal situation, even if you are promoted to the flag regiment level, it will definitely not let you really control the military power of a flag regiment at most and throw you into some logistics or other departments, hang the flag regiment-level military position, and then idle it.
If you want to lead the troops, then go to the standing corps, and you will be given at most one battalion officer.
This is the distinction between fictitious office and real power.
But His Majesty asked you to be the commander of the armaments of a county, although this position is at the level of a flag regiment, but in fact the actual power is not small, and it can even be said that the gold content of this flag and regiment level is even more important than letting you be the flag officer in charge of a flag regiment in a real standing corps and command the soldiers and horses of a flag regiment Because, in the imperial system, the establishment of a county's garrison local army, although it is a local garrison flag regiment, is usually about two or three thousand people.
Moreover, these two or three thousand people are all local garrison troops, and in terms of training and equipment, they are much worse than the regular central standing corps, which can be regarded as a local miscellaneous army.
However, in the area of a county, there are patrols and security guards in each place, as well as local tax inspections, and military transportation, all of which are under the command of the commander of the county garrison, so calculated, a territory as large as a county, these people plus the garrison local army of that flag regiment, the total number of these people must be about seven or eight thousand Don't rush to rejoice, I'm not done yet, there's more You know, the peasant and military system in our Byzantine Empire has been practiced for more than a hundred years.
Although the peasant and military system is a product of the Tema military region system, in fact, the peasant and military system has been popularized in most areas of the empire, even in the areas controlled by the central government of the empire, and the peasant and military system is also practiced in many places.
There are peasants and soldiers who are half peasants and half armies, who are peasants in their spare time and soldiers in wartime Mor County is a border county, so the peasant army system was implemented very early, and according to the Imperial decree, you are the military commander of Mor County, and all the armed forces belonging to the Empire in the county are under your control Given the popularity of the peasant and military system in Mor County, I estimated that in the event of a war and an emergency conscription order was issued, the peasant soldiers in Mor County could quickly recruit at least 20,000 men Although the combat power of the peasant soldiers is a little worse, they are better in numbers, and the natives are fighting locally, so there is no need to worry about morale.
There are more than 20,000 peasants and soldiers, plus the seven or eight thousand local forces we talked about before, so theoretically, although you, the commander of the county garrison, although you are a military position at the flag and regiment level, in fact, the number of troops under your command is comparable to that of a corps.
You have more than 30,000 people under your command at the level of a banner regiment Moreover, you can also mobilize the logistical forces at all levels of a county, whether it is manpower, material and financial resources, but they are far greater than me, a pure army general You kid, you control the actual military power of a county in one fell swoop, and you have become a powerful party with real power.
Moreover, His Majesty also appointed you as the consul of Denzel City, and you already have the military power of the whole county, and you have given you the administrative power of a city, which can be regarded as a kind of preference or assessment for you.
In any case, Denzel is a city in Mor County, and the military power of the whole county belongs to Li, and Denzel is naturally the same.
And the political power in the city has also been given to you, at least in Denzel City, you can be regarded as the emperor of the soil who grasps the military and political power."
Ruhr explained this, and Char also understood.
Although he was only promoted to a military position at the flag and regiment level, in fact, the real power of this position is very great, which can be regarded as a step to the sky In this way, the value of this second reward is indeed much greater than that of the first hereditary baron A hereditary baron gets a territory that is no more than a small town at best.
However, the position of the chief of the military garrison of this county has almost handed over a county to himself, although it is only military affairs.
Looking at Char's overjoyed expression, Ruhl smiled slightly, and said in surprise: "But if you really count it, among the three rewards, the most valuable, I think it is the third."
"Ahh More important than a hereditary baron, and the military power of a county Char was a little confused.
Because the content of the third reward is very simple, as if it is just used to make up the numbers.
A simple sentence: "Grant Char the title of Thundering Court Samurai." ” "The key lies in the title of this court."
Ruhl sighed and frowned, "Boy, I suggest you, you really need to learn the various systems of the empire well.
Let me tell you, this court title is not just to add a dispensable title to you, in fact, this title is also very valued in the aristocratic class, if you have a court title, even if you are not a nobleman, you will be regarded as a guest of honor by many nobles.
According to tradition, if you have the title of court, you can get a privilege, and this privilege is the most valued."
"Privilege What privilege" "Apply for the right to meet His Majesty" When Ruhl said this, if it weren't for his serious tone, Char almost thought that the fat man was joking.
What a privilege it is to apply to see the Emperor "Hmph, the closer people have always been, the easier it is to take power, and only by appearing around His Majesty can they arouse His Majesty's attention and have the opportunity to be appreciated by His Majesty.
But you think, everyone wants to have the opportunity to be appreciated by His Majesty, so many people in this empire, just the aristocratic class, from the lowest knights to dukes, thousands of people, if everyone comes to ask to see Your Majesty, then Your Majesty will not be able to see him even if he does not eat or sleep. ” Ruer smiled: "So, it is also a privilege to see Your Majesty, except for the generals of the Imperial Forest Army and the palace stewards and others who serve in the palace, most of the officials and nobles of the empire, if they want to see the emperor, they can only wait for Your Majesty's summons."
Otherwise, you won't even be eligible to apply for a visit. ” As he spoke, Ruhl pointed to his nose: "Even if it's me, I'm already a viscount and an imperial general, but I'm not qualified to apply to see the emperor, only His Majesty summons me when he wants to see me, but I can't take the initiative to ask to see Your Majesty."
Got it?"
"However, the person who has the title of court is different.
Only those who have the title of the court can be eligible to apply for a meeting. ” Char was a little disdainful: "Hmph, it's just that you can apply, but you can't necessarily see it."
If the emperor doesn't want to see him, it's useless to apply.
So what kind of privilege is that?"
Ruer smiled, looked at Char, and said: "You guy is a little smart, but it's a pity that after all, you are too young and don't know much about the imperial system, I think you should find a teacher as soon as possible to study hard."
Then he explained: "You are right, even if you apply, Your Majesty can already refuse not to see you, but it is the power of this application that is an important judgment that indicates that you are eligible to see Your Majesty at any time, so you are Your Majesty's person, understand, this is the true meaning of the palace title, with this title, others will regard you as His Majesty's person."
Char was silent, he lowered his head and thought for a while, before finally sighing.
"You aristocrats are really complicated, and I don't know how you usually live, and you come up with so many twists and turns, it really makes people want to break their heads and make a living like this, aren't you tired?"
Ruhr shook his head and said in a low voice: "Boy, it is precisely because of these three rewards, one is more important than the other, that I am even more shocked that His Majesty has always been rare in terms of the weight of the reward and the depth of trust in you.
However, I am worried that this kind of trust and appreciation may not be an easy thing.
He gave you the military power of Moore County, most likely just to test this guy of yours, if your performance satisfies him, you will rise to prominence in the future, and you are only afraid that you will be far above me if you perform badly, I am afraid that you, the commander of the county garrison, will also be removed at any time, and it is just a matter of an official order. ” Char also put away his laughter, he was quiet for a while, his face was serious, and after thinking for a long time, he suddenly raised his head and smiled lightly: "I'm afraid of nothing, anyway, I don't have anything, if I mess up, it's a big deal to go back to be my witcher."
Well, no, I finally have the title of a baron, and I have a territory, so it's a big deal to go back and eat and wait for death, and be a rich man. ” Ruhr listened and looked at Char, but Char smiled calmly and boldly, and his eyes were clear.
The fat man sighed in his heart: This eccentric boy, is he calm-minded, or is he just unambitious, if he can have this opportunity to be appreciated by His Majesty the Emperor, I am afraid that he will definitely be gearing up, and he will work hard to perform hard.
The two of them talked in the room for so long, and before they knew it, it was already dark outside, and they didn't notice it.
Ruer cheered up again, and explained to Char about the authority of the local military affairs of the county garrison chief, and then said a beginning, and suddenly heard a heroic laugh from outside the courtyard: "You fat rabbit said that we would eat together tonight, but the old man was looking for Ruhl, where are you hiding, come out quickly" Then a few of Ruhl's guards led one of them through the door, and when they looked up, it was the same Grimm.
As soon as Green saw Ruel and Char sitting inside, he was stunned for a moment, and then scolded with a smile: "Ruhl, you said to drink together tonight, I waited for you in the academy for a long time and didn't come, so I went to your residence to look for you, and the guard at your residence said that you came here and told me the address, so I found it all the way."

Ruer suddenly patted his head and laughed: "Oh, I really almost forgot haha, sorry, sorry, this kid was suddenly smashed by a pie falling from the sky, I was slowly pointing him out, but I forgot the agreement with you tonight." ” Green and Char had already met in the military headquarters two days ago, so they naturally knew each other, and when they heard this, they nodded to Char, and generously found a chair to sit down: "Oh, what a pie in the sky?"
Char had a good impression of this soldier named Green, and had heard Ruhl talk about his deeds, and especially admired the story of this mad dog general who "held the town for a month with two thousand remnants of the army" on the eastern frontier of the empire.
He smiled kindly at Green.
In particular, Ruhr highly admired Green's talent, thinking that he definitely had the qualifications to become a famous general, but unfortunately it was a pity that the luck was not good, so Ruhl smiled mysteriously for many years and threw the reward order written by His Majesty to Green.
Green flipped it open and took a look, then took a breath first: "Yi This is His Majesty's handwriting" couldn't help but glance up at Char.
After hurriedly sweeping his eyes, Green's face suddenly showed shock, and he put down the reward order and stared at the turtle with wide eyes: "You, you, you" Ruhl laughed: "When I first saw it, it was your expression.
He went up and patted Green, so that the mad dog general came back to his senses, Green stared at Char, and couldn't help but say: "You kid, you can't be Your Majesty's illegitimate child."
The turtle is very depressed, why does the rabbit general say this, this mad dog general also says the same damn, does Lao Tzu look like someone else's illegitimate child Green stared at Char for a long time, and suddenly his eyes bloomed with excitement, and he jumped up suddenly, stepped forward and grabbed Char's arm: "Ah, you are in charge of the military affairs of a county, it's so good, it's great, it's great, a local garrison of a flag regiment, although there are a little less, the quality of the local garrison is also a little worse, but it's better than nothing, hahahaha, it's too good, it's too good."
Char was inexplicably laughed by him, but Ruer next to him immediately guessed Green's thoughts: "Hmph, you mad dog, are you thinking of a way to find a way for your students?"
"Hahahaha" After laughing a few times, Green glanced at Ruhr strangely: "Well, you rabbit, didn't you promise to arrange ten people for me, it's almost enough."
As for Char here, if you are willing to sell me a face, I still have a few good student recommendations, well, they are all qualified officers, if they are left idle somewhere after graduation, slowly rusty, or co-opted and corrupted by those warlord parties, it will be in vain My hard work Since Char can be in charge of the military affairs of a county, although the local garrison is a little worse, but since this kid is so appreciated by your Ruhr, then he must not be bad I believe in him, my people will be handed over to his subordinates, and they will definitely be able to be used. ” Ruer thought for a while and nodded: "Well, yes, it is a little more difficult to transfer to the Central Standing Corps, those warlords and henchmen have regarded the people in the first department of the Military Academy as a thorn in their side over the years, and the military department is controlled by those guys, and they will definitely not easily let the cadets be assigned to the Standing Corps to take up real positions."
If you go to the local garrison, the people in the military department will not pay so much attention to it, and maybe they will let go."
Green seemed to be very happy, staring at Char left and right for several times, and suddenly this guy showed a strange expression on his face.
"Well, I have a thought."
Green suddenly looked at Char with a strange look: "Char's armament chief, well, I don't know if you are short of a deputy flag officer in charge of the flag regiment in the future, you will need a deputy who is familiar with military affairs to assist you in order to get twice the result with half the effort."
Ruhl also slapped his thigh: "yes, I almost forgot about that."
Although this kid is good, he has no experience after all, and if he rashly takes over such a big stall, he must have an experienced deputy by his side to assist him well.
Ruhl looked at Green: "Do you have any good candidates to recommend, let me think about whether it is any of your precious students who graduated from the past who are idle, and you want to take the opportunity to transfer people over or some old friend of yours" Green smiled, and suddenly pointed to his nose: "Look, how am I?"
