Chapter 404 Strange Request Although Char had a headache, there was no way to do it at the moment, so although he knew that the young emperor was yin himself, our new duke, could only pinch his nose and endure it.
Char and Adrick discussed for a long time, and after Char had negotiated the official position, power, etc., our turtle finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
It's time to arrive, and next, but the sky is high and the birds fly, and the sea is wide and the fish jumps Damn, it took more than half a year of suffering to finally put on the real official hat of the empire on his head, and he could be an upright overlord from now on.
According to Adrick's promise, all the appointment orders for Char, as well as the rewards for the title, will be reported to the central government of the empire within one or two days, and the official matter is easy to say, if the prime minister signs the decree and the emperor issues it explicitly, it will be done.
The only thing that is a little troublesome is the knighthood.
It has always been managed according to tradition, and the newly sealed nobles must be approved by the agreement of the noble council, if it is in accordance with the traditional rules, this series of things is very troublesome, to check the bloodline of Char Leiming, the place of birth, the place of origin, and even the eight generations of ancestors must find out who is the surname, especially a joint, Char's ancestors must not have a lowly person in the line among the three generations, such as a girl, a thief, or a criminal or something, if this happens, The Council of Nobles will decide that Char is not qualified to become a nobleman.
The status of the aristocracy is very sacred, but it is not just any cat, dog, or four can make two meager merits to get into the ranks of the aristocracy, at least in the hearts of the members of the noble council, as for the real aristocracy, what men and women are doing and how to do it, everyone can only ignore it.
According to the previous management, such audits and inspections took a long time, and there were a series of red tape to be done.
A title is sealed from the hands of the emperor, and then it is reviewed by the noble council, and finally there is the payment of the financial taxes of the fiefdom area to be verified, and the population of the fief is verified, etc., all of which must be handed over through the central and local political axes.
When the reward is finally awarded, it generally has to take three or five months, and if it is slower, it is common to get a year and a half.
To be honest, Char really didn't care about this title, at least when he knew that his fiefdom was still occupied by Hasting, Char directly ignored this bullshit duke.
Our turtle even wished that the review of this title would be as slow as possible, and it was best to review it for three or five fucking years, as long as the duke's title was not sealed for a day, Char could go to Hastings without worrying about it.
Although Adric also expressed some sympathy for the content of this reward, the general didn't care too much, and even told Char very clearly: Since he is the general of the northern garrison, then driving away the evil invader Hastings entrenched in Nods County is what you Char has to face as a matter of course Whether or not there is this reward, you Char must hurry up and work hard to drive away the invaders in the north.
Adric is a remark dedicated to the country, and Char knows that he can't reason with this selfless general, so he can only respond with a sad face.
Adric then returned to see the wife of the governor of the Besta Military District.
This meeting can be roughly described as follows: "The Minister of Imperial Affairs met with the head of the Besta Military District, and after the meeting and cordial talks, the two sides exchanged views on the prospects for the future development of the Empire, and at the same time, His Excellency the Minister of War expressed his greetings to the people of the Besta Military District, and the head of the Besta Military District also expressed the unity of the military and the people of Besta and stood firmly in the center of the Empire with the Emperor as the core, and resolutely obeyed the orders of the Central Committee of the Empire.
At the same time, he expressed his disdain and indignation at the imperial separatists led by the Red Round Table.
The entire process of the meeting was carried out in an atmosphere of friendship and unity, and on the basis of the principle of mutual benefit, the two sides agreed on the future development course of the Besta Military District" In the official documents of the central government of the empire, this kind of writing is probably used to record this meeting.
Char himself personally accompanied General Adric throughout the meeting.
What left Char speechless was that the conditions given by the empire to the Besta Military Region were much more generous than those given to him, the general of the Northern Garrison The Governor of the Besta Military Region, Yuri, made the Marquis, and the Governor's wife even added the title of palace knighthood and two palace titles, the Besta Military Region and the County of Esria were merged into the new Besta County, and the army of the original Besta Military Region was reorganized into a local garrison on the spot.
What made Char speechless the most was that the empire said that in order to sympathize with the losses of the people of Besta County in this war, the central government of the empire directly exempted Besta County from the central financial taxes for the next three years The loss of the war is the loss of you big head ghost from the beginning to the end, the war has not burned to the Besta Military Region and Esria County, these two places are a peaceful world, where is there any hell of war In this way, this time the Besta Military Region can be said to be unscathed, and it has reaped so many benefits for nothing When General Adric saw him, he beat and scolded, one on the left and the other on the right.
But when meeting the governor's wife, the politeness of both parties can be described as "respecting each other like guests".
Look at others, and then imagine the territory in your own hands, Mor County, Siltan County, and Corsica region, all of which were the hardest hit areas of this war, and all three places were almost destroyed, but the empire did not exempt itself from taxes, Adric said very clearly, the condition offered by the empire was that the central taxes must be delivered normally, a copper plate, and a pound of grain must not be missing.
It's just that considering that the war is not completely over, Char was allowed to delay the delivery After Adric met the governor's wife, he quickly left, and when he went back, he only explained a few words to Char and asked him to wait patiently.
The general went back to Osgilia, and the governor's wife and Char went out of the camp to see each other off, and after watching Adric and his entourage go away together, Char had not yet spoken, and the governor's wife suddenly smiled, looking at Char, who was standing side by side with her, this beautiful woman chuckled, and said in a low voice: "Does the marshal seem to be very unhappy?"
” Char snorted: "Don't call it a marshal, call it a general, haven't you heard, I'm going to take up the post of general of the Northern Garrison."
The title of this marshal does not need to be mentioned again. ” The Governor's Wife nodded, looked at Char, and said leisurely, "I don't know what you think of the Imperial Center's handling of us, General."
Char pouted: "What else can you think, you Besta people are a big profit, and I am a big bankrupt." ” The governor's wife frowned, thought for a while, and immediately said: "The empire did not exempt your jurisdiction from taxes, I am surprised by this, your jurisdiction has just experienced a war, and has been poisoned by the Odin for more than half a year, and the economy is only afraid that it will not be rich, so let's do it, if the general's hands are not rich, I Besta is willing to help." ” Char's heart moved, and he glanced at this woman deeply, and his eyes rolled: "I'm afraid it's not so cheap to give it away for free." ” The governor's wife smiled: "Naturally, it is not for nothing, and my money and food are not blown by the wind."
I only have one small thing, I would like to ask you for your help, General. ” Char looked at the woman curiously.
The governor's wife smiled, her beautiful face, under the sunset, looked charming and infinite, and said leisurely: "Your Majesty's decision this time, it is not difficult for me to guess Your Majesty's thoughts, do you want to come, next, Your Majesty is going to take some checks and balances against the general."
It is expected that this is also common, the empire has always been afraid of military generals supporting their own troops, and this war is said to be a disaster for local warlords, so the empire is already afraid of this kind of thing, and naturally it will not let the general live too comfortably.
I thought, although I don't know how the Empire will deal with you, General, but I expect that we Bestas will be able to get much more favorable terms than you. ” Char snorted, and the dissatisfaction on his face was obvious.
There was a smile in the eyes of the governor's wife: "You and I jointly sent troops to King Qin, what we put on is an alliance posture, the empire is naturally deeply jealous, and no one in power will tolerate you and me being too close to each other, otherwise, if we are united, if we have different intentions, it is enough to threaten the rule of the empire The emperor will not allow this threat to happen."
Then the only way is to divide our relationship.
This time, the two of us came to King Qin, and the conditions given to us by the empire must be different.
Speaking of which, General, the territory in your hands is larger than mine, and the army is stronger than mine, so it is not difficult to guess the way of the empire, which is nothing more than to treat me Besta favorably, so it is inevitable that you will be treated a little lightly. ” Char nodded.
The woman continued: "This kind of practice, deliberately discriminating between us, is to divide our relationship, usually not to suffer from poverty, and to suffer from unevenness, we both get different conditions, and it is inevitable that there will be a feeling of favoritism, and thus jealousy will give birth to suspicion, which is exactly what the empire wants to see."
And secondly, since we are divided, it is not difficult to guess that the empire wants to use my Besta military region to balance you.
Give us the Besta people generous conditions, naturally in order to strengthen our strength, so that we have enough capital to restrain you. ” Char listened and looked at this woman, and then she finished meeting Adric, but after a while, this woman had already analyzed the matter so clearly Thinking of this, Char's expression was solemn, he looked at this woman, and said in a deep voice: "Madam Governor, what conditions do you have, you might as well say it quickly." ” "It's wrong again."
The woman winked at Char and smiled, "Call me Monica."
Is my name unpleasant, or is my name not worthy of your respect?"
"Okay, Monica."
Char touched his nose: "What the hell do you want?"
"If you shout wrong again in the future, you will be punished."
The Governor's wife smiled, and then her expression became solemn: "I want to ask you to do me a favor." ” "What" Char looked at the other party's solemn expression, originally thought that the other party would propose some extremely difficult conditions, but unexpectedly, after this woman spoke, Char was stunned It's not that it's too difficult, it's that it's too simple "Not to mention, you and I are going to enter Yanjing to accept the reward, when the time comes, I want to ask the general to help me do something, general, when you go back to the prime minister or other imperial ministers, you might as well reveal a little meaning, just say that the Besta Military Region is surrendered among the rebels after all, even if it is to be reused, it is better to leave some precautions.

Well, that's it, as long as you show a little bit of such a meaning to the magnates of Yanjing at that time, it will be considered a great favor for me. ” Char looked at the woman in surprise, and didn't know what she had in mind.
The Governor's wife looked at Char's surprised expression, gently pulled her hair, with her stunning appearance, her gesture suddenly made the eyes of several young officers standing in the distance straighten a little.
Our turtle's eyes were also a little straight, but they were not intimidated by the beauty, but shocked by this woman's words.
"Are you very strange," the Governor's wife then pursed her lips and smiled, and the gesture of her pursing lips, the ruddy little mouth looked extremely tempting, "You just have to let out such words, it will be very good for you and me."
The Empire is about to divide us, and if you say something like this, it will make the Empire think that you really have a dislike for me Besta, so you will speak against us.
As soon as he heard this, the Imperial side must have been greatly satisfied and relieved. ” Char nodded: "I can guess this result, but what is the benefit, even if they believe that we are divided, but where is the benefit of what you said, if the empire really listens to me, you Besta people will have to take precautions, after all, you have surrendered, if the magnates really express their dissatisfaction with you, the empire may have to do something to target you, aren't you making trouble for yourself?"
"The empire just wants you to hate us Besta people, the more you say this, the more happy the emperor will be, maybe he will be more kind to us Besta instead."
The Governor's wife replied with a smile.
This seems to have some truth, but Char clearly feels that things are not so simple The emperor will definitely not treat the Besta people better because of this, after all, the emperor and the Besta people have no affection, but they are just using the Besta people to check and balance themselves, if the relationship between himself and the Besta people is tense, the emperor is naturally happy, but he will never give the Besta people more benefits because of this For this governor's wife, the new person is most afraid of the suspicion of the new master, and at this time, she should find someone to say more good things to the center of the empire, where is there anyone to ask someone to tear down the throne for herself ` To be continued 〗Hanyu Pinyin "" is simple and easy to remember:
