Chapter 117 Exploration Document
As the Guardian of the North and the Earl of Northern Exploration, Perficott certainly has the right to canonize a knight, even if the word "exploitation" is added in front of it.
This is her power as the pioneering earl and guardian of the north. It is also the basis for her to establish her own ruling system and team.
After all, if Purficott was alone, she would not be able to open up the northern border and establish a management system no matter how capable she was.
Under normal circumstances, a pioneering noble would recruit retainers and knights by promising territory, form an army, and delimit his territory through military occupation.
Then he would subdivide the promised part of the occupied territory to his subordinates and let them govern the place, thus establishing a top-down governance system.
In this system, the fixed points are naturally the pioneering nobles as feudal lords, while the middle and lower levels are the other large and small nobles and knights he canonized.
These are the basis for maintaining his rule and are also his vassals.
The lord gives land to the vassal, and the vassal is loyal to the lord. This is the most important and basic foundation of the feudal system.
Perfect naturally has the same power as a pioneering earl, and her power is slightly greater, that is, she can confer pioneering nobles below the earl and let them explore the northern territory for her.
Because in theory, this is Perficott's own territory, so she can make a certain range of promises and let her knights or nobles develop new territories, while she provides legal support.
It is precisely because of this that the title of pioneering nobleman is so precious.
And Purficott has also expected that as the news of her obtaining the title of Earl of Exploration and the canonization of the Guardian of the North spreads, countless people will want to obtain the right to Exploit from her in the future, thus creating a better future for themselves. Earn a territory and hereditary title of nobility.
Oliver was just the first to try something, or find her first.
Perfect has every reason to believe that Colonel Richard and Captain William also have the same idea, but they are not as close to him as Oliver, and they are not shameless enough to take the initiative to propose such a thing. Just a request.
For Purficott, writing a canonization document for a pioneer knight is really a simple matter.
If she is willing, with the vast territory of the North, she can even wholesale this thing, canonize one or two thousand pioneer knights and then scatter them all.
Whether it is from a legal perspective or from a power perspective, she can do this, and no one can make irresponsible remarks about her behavior. The most they can do is laugh at her behind her back for being ridiculous.
But on the surface, these people who would gossip about her behind her back still eagerly approached her and asked her for a development document so that they could obtain a hereditary territory.
Even if it is just a village as big as a palm, it is a noble territory and can be used as a hereditary basis!
Of course, it is actually a very troublesome thing to confer a large number of pioneer knights. After all, they are all pioneer knights. When they develop their own territories, it is difficult to say that there will be no friction or the intersection of territories.
If anything happens then, it will have to be handled by Perfectcott, the Guardian of the North.
So, under normal circumstances, Perficott should only confer ordinary nobles and knights and demarcate a limited area of land for them, instead of directly giving them the right to develop. Of course, if there is someone worthy of Purficott's favor, she does not need to be stingy with a development document.
So after thinking about it, she said to Oliver: "A development document? If you want it, I can write one for you now, But you mentioned the price, so in accordance with the principle of equivalent exchange, I do still have some requirements.”
"Please give me your orders!" An excited expression appeared on Oliver's face.
Obviously being able to obtain a pioneering document is a very important thing to him, so much so that even if he knows about the end of the world, he still hopes to obtain such a document.
“First of all, you must have the resources and capabilities to support a knight’s territory.” Perfectcott told Oliver his requirements, and Oliver quickly took out a small book to write these down. Record it: "If nothing else, an armed force composed of at least twenty people is used to maintain the order of the territory and respond to my call. This is the obligation that a vassal must fulfill.
Secondly, I need you to at least build a village in the north that can accommodate more than 500 people, and this village must be able to maintain its existence after the end of the world."
Speaking of this, Purficott looked at it. He turned to Oliver in front of him and waited for him to record the two conditions he mentioned before saying to him: "Since you already know about the end of the world, you naturally understand why I made such a request.
Everything in the north now is to prepare for the doomsday in the future, so I will not issue pioneering documents and canonize nobles easily.
But in view of the long-term cooperative relationship between you and me, I am willing to issue a development document for you. After all, it is not that easy to find a supplier of alchemical products that satisfies me. ”
“Thank you very much! Your generosity is like that of a father! "Oliver was so excited that he wanted to kneel down and kiss the hem of Perfectcott's clothes.
However, Perfectcott stopped him from doing so. He just waved his hand and said, "I also have a request for these. , among other things, an alchemy workshop that can still provide me with various alchemical products stably after the end of the world, this is what you must continue to maintain.
If you can't do it, then bring it up now and I won't blame you.
But if you promised to fulfill my request but failed to do so after receiving the pioneering documents, then I will take back everything you have, including your life, in the name of the Guardian of the North. ”
Obviously, for Purficott, if someone really affects her plan, she is really not afraid of killing people.
For this, Oliver is naturally Clearly.
He assured Purficott: "Please rest assured, my lord the count! You can continue to trust me, just like you trusted me in the past! "
"To be honest, I didn't really trust you in the past. "Perfect had a rare moment of humor, but soon she smiled and said: "What I trust is your compliance with the spirit of the contract and your pursuit of interests.
A pioneering document is precious even now when the end is approaching, and it also means great benefits to you.
So I believe you can handle the responsibilities it brings. After all, as my first vassal, I will be very troubled if you don't perform well. ”
