Chapter 1164: It seems like I can still be a sheriff nearby?
The ceremony stopped and the communication with Viriana ended.
Celine asked:
“Will you still try the [Sacrifice Ritual] every day as before?
According to Viriana, it seems Some gain outweighs the loss.”
Brand thought:
“We have to continue.
There are many things that cannot be just listened to by Veriana’s family.
In addition, it is said that he is the master of power. But I always feel that this lady’s family background seems a bit weak.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that it is the general situation in Rios continent, or that Ms. Viriana is in a bad situation recently.”
< br>
After saying such words, she seemed not satisfied with seeing her sister Celine.
Brand brought him over to comfort him, and then promised to reduce the frequency of the [Sacrifice Ceremony].
……
The morning a week later.
Brand, who did boring training and [Sacrifice Ceremony] every day but received no response, received a letter from the empire sent by Hisari.
Hisari explained:
“Not long ago, an imperial palace official came to the castle gate and delivered this letter.
Because I happened to be free, so I It was delivered directly.”
He nodded, took the letter, and then opened it and looked at it.
Brand discovered that this was an invitation to attend a meeting of imperial nobles.
The meeting time is set for half a month, and the agenda for this meeting is also attached.
Seeing these things, Hisari was a little surprised and said:
“I remember that before, didn’t noble meetings use empty screens to directly notify the young master?”
Brand explained:
“The notice of the meeting of nobles is originally sent by the palace official to the permanent residence of the honorary nobles or the castle of the fiefdom nobles.
Previously, it was only because the northern border of the empire was still under construction and the ceremonial department of the imperial palace had not yet stationed nearby, so the empty screen was used to notify.
But after such a long time, the construction of many territories in the northern part of the empire has been basically completed.
Many matters that were not formal enough will gradually become formal.
A few days ago, I also received applications from Chris from several departments of the empire to station here.
I also gave them a discount on their rent. ”
While talking, Brand also opened the bills of the noble meeting and looked at them one by one.
Soon, Brand raised his eyebrows and said:
“I didn’t expect that our northern border would also start planning the administrative region.
There are not many lords nearby. , and it’s not as good as our Morning Flower Leader, nor is it a title worthy of my title.
It seems like I can still be a county chief nearby?”
Within the Kaya Empire, administrative regions at the [provincial] level are divided according to their general directions.
For example, the Viscounty of Holland is located in the [Southern Province] in the southern part of the empire.
And because the scope of [Province] is very vast, in order to facilitate the cooperation between various regions within [Province].
[Province] is further subdivided into [counties], and the lower level of [county] is the large and small territories of the nobles.
Of course, because the highest authority in the Kaya Empire is the Parliament of Nobles, not His Majesty the Emperor.
Therefore, the actual benefits involved in these geographical divisions are not much.
Positions such as "Sheriff" are more of a symbol and have no actual authority to dictate in these areas. At most, it's just that we can occasionally get everyone together to have a banquet and exchange ideas.
For many small nobles with insufficient strength, this kind of communication circle in nearby areas is still very important.
Because of the many businesses in their territory, the distance to the surrounding areas is relatively limited.
However, for a middle-class noble with Brand's strength, these exchanges are not very important.
After all, his business has already gone abroad.
The same goes for higher-level nobles.
In addition to the division of administrative regions, the noble meeting also involves some matters on Brand's side.
Currently, the scale and intensity of the war between the Human Alliance and the Orc Empire has increased to another level.
Additional troops are needed on the battlefield in each area.
As one of the four major empires of the Human Alliance, their Kaya Empire obviously needs to send troops for assistance again.
In response, His Majesty the Emperor launched another call, and this time he even used territory as a lure!
——There are still many places in the northern part of the empire that are not redeemable!
After carefully reviewing the details of this project, Brand discovered that he could also redeem territory!
Previously, they went to the Mosar Kingdom to assist in the war, and the empire distributed a certain amount of [meritorious service] based on their performance in the war, as well as [special war contribution] for this war.
Similar to the previous redemption rules for pioneering war merits.
After this war is over, the empire will also provide an [exchange list].
Participants in the war can use the above two to exchange for military merit.
His Majesty the Emperor is obviously planning to include the unexchanged parts of the northern border into this list of merit exchanges this time.
However, according to the preliminary details, it is more difficult to redeem territory in this war than in the expansion war, and there are not many areas to choose from.
——Of course, it’s okay to choose to expand the existing territory in the north to the surrounding areas!
Seeing this, Brand was ready to go back and discuss with Chrissy to see which direction would be most beneficial to them in terms of expanding their territory.
In addition, you can also ask the library members to take the time to explore the surrounding areas of the territory to see if there are any valuable resources in the surrounding area after the magic tide recedes.
After taking out his quill and marking the relevant items with a focus symbol, Brand continued reading.
The issue of conferring the title of Imperial Baron to the eldest princess of the former Mosar Kingdom and the corresponding territory is of course one of the proposals at this meeting of nobles.
——If the title of baron alone is not a big deal, but if you want to grant a fief, then it obviously needs to be discussed.
Of course, this is just one of the many trivial matters of the noble meeting.
Brand marked it casually and skipped it.
Soon, Brand saw another important proposal related to them:
"Plan for the Maintenance and Development of Maritime Trade Routes between the Empire and the Forest of Elves".
The sponsor of this bill is the Imperial Military Affairs Department.
After some inspection, Brand realized that His Majesty the Emperor was preparing to work with the Elf Forest to set up military stations along the sea routes of both parties to continuously maintain the maritime trade routes of both parties. Develop offshore resources in relevant areas.
If you think about it carefully, the maritime trade between the Empire and the Elf Forest has been carried out several times, and now it is indeed time to carry out this matter.
In this way, the threshold for maritime trade between the two sides will be lowered, and commerce will become more frequent and lively.
Of course, it is obviously impossible for them, the Morning Flower Leader, to send troops to join directly.
The most they can do is provide support in terms of magic gold coins and materials.
Since his magic gold coin reserves are very abundant, he may be able to support him a little more and then try to capture more of the benefits.
Thinking of this, Brand also marked it with a key symbol.
After discovering that there is no more content related to them later.
Brand closed the page and was about to go back and give Chris a copy of this thing for her reference.
