Chapter 233 Noble Coat of Arms
[You are named Earl of Scania. You start a noble lineage that will be named after the alias you use in this world. 】
【You obtained the noble coat of arms: the coat of arms of the Earl of the Fu Lei family. 】
【You have obtained the authority to enfeoff nobles and knights, up to 1 viscount, 2 barons and 20 knights. Note: You need to grant the other party a corresponding area of land, which will reduce your territory tax. 】
After the conferment ceremony, Bai Pu received the count's coat of arms.
This coat of arms has a golden luster as a whole. On the front is the griffon family emblem chosen by Bai Pu himself, and on the back is Bai Pu's fiefdom, family name and other inscriptions.
【Earl Fu Lei Family Coat of Arms: Put it in the storage space, you can get additional benefits: your health +300, all attributes +3. Every natural month, you will get a teleportation opportunity to teleport to the capital of your territory through this emblem (must be in the real world, without being disturbed), and get (3) days of free stay. 】
【It has been detected that you already have the same kind of special item: the identity jade token of the Lu family of Wujun. You can only enjoy the bonus of one of the special items. 】
Bai Pu checked and found out that the effect of this noble heraldry is based on his title in the Swedish Empire in the world of flesh and blood plague.
Now that Bai Pu is an earl, he enjoys the powerful benefits of health +300 and all attributes +3. If he were replaced by a lower level viscount, he would only have health +200 and all attributes +2. The baron has health +100 and all attributes +1.
Bai Pu can enfeoff other awakened people and become nobles of the Fu Lei family lineage. The nobles he enfeoffs will automatically obtain the noble coat of arms and enjoy related bonuses.
But Bai Pu will not divide the feud easily. After all, this is a real earth-splitting feud, which will affect Bai Pu's territory area and tax revenue.
Taxation is based on the prosperity of Bai Pu's territory, and will give Bai Pu an income every quarter.
Bai Pu can choose to obtain physical tax revenue, or choose spiritual point taxation.
Taxation in kind refers to taxes on the spiritual world grain harvested by the territory’s farms, spiritual world items such as spiritual world cloth harvested by the workshop, and valuables such as gold and silver in the spiritual world.
The advantage of choosing physical taxation is that sometimes you can get some good raw materials and even finished props - of course, most of the items in physical taxation are "junk", that is, junk psychic items that are not used by awakened people and can only be sold. Give the will of the spirit world in exchange for a small amount of psychic points.
The gold and silver in the spiritual world obtained by collecting taxes can be used in many spiritual worlds, and can also be exchanged for power points.
Bai Pu chose physical taxation without much thought. In this way, the sundries harvested every quarter can be converted into spiritual energy points when sold to the will of the spiritual world.
Although it is not as high as the power point income earned by directly choosing "Power Point Taxation", the advantage is that there will be surprises occasionally.
Bai Pu checked again and found out that based on the prosperity of the land, farms and towns in the current territory: Scania, the taxes that could be collected each quarter were equivalent to about 30,000 spiritual points.
For a count's territory, such a tax amount is undoubtedly a bit shabby.
But considering that the whole of Sweden and even the Nordic Peninsula is vast and sparsely populated, the land is barren, and has been devastated by the Blood Ring Fortress, and the prosperity is extremely low, it is not bad to have such a tax.
Bai Pu can also adjust the tax rate and impose heavy taxes on the territory! It can greatly increase tax revenue in the short term, but it will continue to reduce the prosperity of the territory and cause a large outflow of indigenous people.
The most lacking thing in the Nordic Peninsula now is people - here refers to normal residents who have not been infected by the flesh-and-blood plague. Of course Bai Pu couldn't do this kind of thing.
Bai Pu chose to reduce the tax rate by 30%. Now that Sweden is full of waste, choosing a lighter tax rate can attract people to Scania.
Scania's geographical location is still very advantageous. It is located in the coastal area and has a natural port. It is the only way for merchant ships to travel between the European continent and the Nordic Peninsula.
If this were not the case, the battleships of Gustav and Princess Christina would not have passed by the Starfall Islands, and a series of far-reaching events would have occurred. As the regent queen mother, Qin will help Bai Pu look after the territory, such as dispatching loyal and reliable internal affairs officials, shifting the focus of economic and trade to Scania, and so on.
After discussing with Bai Pu, Qin will not leave this world for the time being. When Bai Pu needs it, he can use the ability of the Origin Blood Apostle to summon Qin from another world to fight.
After Bai Pu exchanged the title of earl, he still had less than 5,000 points of military merit left.
He approached Prime Minister Oxen-Scherner.
Oxen Scherner did not have a good look on Bai Pu, especially after hearing that Emperor Gustav had been killed.
The prime minister was also impressed by Bai Pu's achievements. At the same time, Bai Pu did not dictate government affairs, which made him feel relieved about Bai Pu, a foreigner and the empress dowager's male favorite.
However, Bai Pu did not come to him to reminisce about old times. He simply said "redeem for military exploits" and successfully made the Prime Minister transform into a humanoid ATM and enter a stagnant state, and opened the redemption list with a swipe.
Bai Pu was also stuck in a state of time freeze and could only look at the list and redeem items.
World Event: During the Blood Rose War, as long as the awakened ones have military merit, they can ignore the camp reputation and exchange for any reward items.
Of course Bai Pu's reputation among the Swedish Rebel Army has long been admired - he is even one of the founders of the Swedish Rebel Army camp.
As expected, he saw a series of lists of noble title exchanges, and then continued to flip through them.
At the end of the page, Bai Pu did not see props such as [lucky dice] that affect the result of the treasure box extraction.
But the good news is that there are some scarce equipment types available for exchange, such as gold-quality necklaces, rings, accessories and other jewelry.
A gold-level necklace requires 1,500 battle credits.
Bai Pu also discovered that a piece of gold-level equipment had been exchanged.
Bai Pu checked his current equipment vacancies, the necklace (neck) was vacated, and the ring (finger) was vacated.
He simply exchanged his military exploits for three pieces of gold-level jewelry.
The three pieces of equipment are all standard types and do not have special skills attached. Fortunately, as gold equipment, the additional attributes are quite sufficient.
[Swedish Royal Necklace: Neck, adds 3 points of strength, 3 points of endurance, and 1 point of charm. 】
[Swedish Royal Power Ring: Finger, additional 6 points of strength. 】
[Swedish royal agility ring: Finger, additional 6 points of agility. 】
Bai Pu put on these three pieces of equipment. He originally had a blue-equipped "Ring of the Frog" with +3 agility, but it was naturally replaced by Tao.
With the remaining battle achievements, Bai Pu bought some souvenirs from this plane, focusing on some alchemical potions that benefit and debuff. Then he went to Qin and asked Qin for the formula of these alchemical potions.
