The founding ceremony lasted for nearly a whole day.
From soldiers to officers, from fallen generals to old nobles, everyone has received rewards.
The only thing is that Xu Lai has a very conservative and cautious attitude towards the granting of titles.
How long his kingdom can last, Xu Lai himself doesn’t know.
However, for every year of maintenance, these people need to be supported for one year.
Accumulated over the years, it is a very terrible expense, especially after the proliferation of titles.
For those old nobles who have surrendered to Xu Lai and have contributed their cities and all their rights, it is not easy for Xu Lai to take away their titles.
Then, the only thing Xu Lai can do is to try to control the issuance of titles.
So, many of the ancestors’ practices are very reasonable.
In ancient China, there was a saying that non-military merit could not be granted a title, and Xu Lai also planned to extend this idea.
The old people who followed him, such as Lacy, the big and small Abokar brothers, etc., including Aaron and the others, had never really been on the battlefield.
Even newcomers have received rewards. It is completely unreasonable and chilling for these old people not to reward them.
So, at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Xu Lai simply adjusted the positions of all these old people.
First of all, Su Ya, who served as the city lord for Xu Lai, was directly promoted from the deputy city lord of Qingfeng City to the prime minister of the country, taking charge of all administrative affairs of the entire Eagle Kingdom.
As the queen of the Eagle Kingdom, Su Ya is truly one person inferior to ten thousand people.
But the queen is not a position. Someone may listen to what she says, but after all, it is not so legitimate.
The Prime Minister is different. Although the Prime Minister's status is not as high as that of the Queen, he is truly the second in command. In fact, the power of a Prime Minister can even exceed that of the King.
After Su Ya became the Prime Minister, there was no need to retain the position of the Lord of Qingfeng City.
After Su Ya was Lacy Gram, but Lacy himself was neither willing to leave Qingfeng City nor to change to other important positions.
So, Lazi was only promoted from the previous position of Speaker to Speaker of the National Assembly, and it was still an idle job.
Congress may play a great role in other countries, but when all countries start up, they are basically just a decoration.
Any first-generation king or emperor will not hand over his power to Congress to add constraints.
Of course, some matters that are not too important and involve a wide range of things that Xu Lai is too lazy to deal with can also be thrown to Congress.
What are the holidays, the salaries of civil servants at all levels, and the etiquette rules for various occasions.
It is important to say it is important, and it is annoying to say it is annoying. It is just right to leave it to Congress.
Moreover, even if the position of Speaker of Parliament and Member of Parliament is not important, it is a very high-level position.
This kind of extremely high-level, not important position is just used to place people with relatively high qualifications who Xu Lai doesn't want to reuse.
After the Prime Minister and the Speaker of the National Assembly, there are the ministers.
The most important military department and minister of defense were appointed by Xu Lai to Lena Memphis.
The second is the Minister of Finance, who was appointed by Xu Lai to Yu Lan.
Ranked third was the Minister of Foreign Affairs, who was appointed by Xu Lai to Wei Yihong.
The fourth-ranked Home Secretary, the Prime Minister’s Deputy, is Jimmy Martell.
After being promoted to Prime Minister and Minister, their original positions were more or less retained.
Leina still serves as the commander of the Qingfeng Legion, and Wei Yihong's position as Minister of Commerce was handed over to Big Aiboka.
Jimmy's previous position, the city lord of Conaston City, is still retained, but the position of commander of the Knightly Wind Corps is given to Tahan.
After establishing the Eagle Kingdom and becoming the king of the Eagle Kingdom, Xu Lai also received a special privilege.
That is, he can appoint generals and commanders, that is, heroes, in the name of the king.
It is unjustifiable that the king of a country cannot appoint generals and commanders in chief.
However, the appointment of this general and commander-in-chief is also conditional.
This condition comes from national strength. Strong national strength will appoint more generals and commanders.
The evaluation criteria of national strength basically come from population.
One general is allowed to be promoted for every one million to two million people, and one hero is allowed to be promoted for every ten million people.
After adding the more than one million believers in the Eagle Kingdom, the total population should be around 5 million, more or less, there is no detailed statistics.
Anyway, Xu Lai got a total of 3 generals, but not even half of the heroes.
Similar to the time when the Supreme King was promoted to Archangel Gilad, Xu Lai's quota of these three generals can also be given to any citizen of the Eagle Kingdom.
Of course, what can be given can be taken back, and when the generals are citizens of the Eagle Kingdom, they will lose the qualification to become generals regardless of whether Xu Lai takes it back.
Xu Lai gave the quotas for these three generals to Tahan, Yan Feng and Jian Yuan.
Before deciding on Jimmy’s position, Xu Lai took the initiative to communicate with Jimmy.
The city lord of Conaston City cannot always be running around outside, and the Knightly Wind Legion is not the exclusive army of Conaston City.
Obviously, these two positions are not so harmonious, and they are not a position that can be held concurrently.
The communication between Xu Lai and Jimmy was to let him choose which position he was willing to give up.
After learning that he would be promoted to one of the ministers, or Minister of the Interior, Jimmy gave up his position as commander of the Knights of the Wind.
Although this position involves losing military power, Jimmy has no intention of rebelling anyway, so what's the use of holding military power in his hands.
Besides, in terms of actual power, the city lord of Conaston City is much greater than the commander of the Knightly Wind Legion.
As for whether the city lord and the interior minister are in conflict, this does not have much impact. The two office locations only need to sit on the teleportation array and can be reached instantly.
That is to say, his son Jilong's qualifications were not enough. Jilong was appointed by Xu Lai as the lord of Martell City, which was a disguised form of leaving Martell City to the Martell family.
If he does well in the future, he will let Jilong directly inherit his father's position and become the lord of Conaston City.
After the nobility was changed to the fief system, a city would be completely decided by the city owner.
But the position of city lord is not inheritable like the title of a noble.
Xu Lai not only retained his father's position as city lord, but also arranged a city lord for his son. He was also extremely benevolent to them.
In this regard, Jimmy and Jilong had nothing to say and chose to accept it happily.
Chivalry, as you can tell from the name, Xu Lai intends to build this army into a pure cavalry army.
At that time, there were neither enough cavalry nor many generals to appoint.
As for the Qingfeng Army, Xu Lai wanted to build it into an all-round army that could advance, attack, retreat and defend.
On the contrary, today's Qingfeng Legion's cavalry is too powerful, and the knight's style does not even have a chance to play.
Of course, this can't be blamed on Jimmy. Jimmy's own combat effectiveness is not bad, and his command ability is also good. The only difference between him and the high-end cavalry regiment is that he is not a hero.
After adjusting the commanders of both sides, Xu Lai will also make some big moves for these two legions. He wants to transfer the infantry, archers and other troops in the Knight's Wind to the Qingfeng Legion.
The Qingfeng Legion does not completely eliminate cavalry. It will still retain reconnaissance knights, some heavily armored knights and the archers led by Yan Feng.
Yan Feng took over Tahan's position and served as the knight leader of the Qingfeng Legion.
At the same time, the heroic knights of the headquarters previously led by Tahan, the great knights and knights led by Naru, and the levied knights led by Joseph will all be transferred to Chivalry.
After the expansion and large-scale transactions, the number of these knights has exceeded 15,000. Including the 5,000 knights retained by the style of chivalry, there are almost 20,000 knights at full strength.
Of course, Xu Lai is still not satisfied with this number.
However, he has now unified the entire grassland, and the knight quotas from major cities in the grassland will be continuously transferred to Qingfeng City.
In addition, Xu Lai was still in Stone City, trading a large number of knights with those big caravans.
Although the level of these knights is not high, after being traded back, they can be directly upgraded to knights in the knight training camp, and then upgraded to great knights in the hall.
The total number of these knights, and the establishment of Chivalry, should be able to break through to about 25,000 knights.
At this rate, after just half a year of accumulation, this pure knights team will be able to expand to about 50,000.
Xu Lai’s expectation for the style of chivalry is at least 100,000 riders.
At the same time, after the troops integrated with the knightly style receive recruits from major cities, the size of the Qingfeng Legion will also expand to more than 150,000.
Together with the logistics force, even if there is no more accumulation, we can still have a main combat force of more than 200,000.
Of course, some of them are new recruits.
Recruits cannot be quickly improved through various hero buildings and consumption of resources like recruiting soldiers.
However, Xu Lai has already thought of a training place for the new recruits of the Qingfeng Legion.
Moreover, Xu Lai is not able to accept a main force of more than 200,000 men.
There is no way, the Hell camp's troops are too strong, and now they control the entire Western Empire.
After all the cities in the Western Empire are converted into hell cities, the rate of replenishment of the hell camp will become even more exaggerated.
So, Xu Lai was not actually planning to wait for others to fight, but was planning to attack proactively.
It’s just that the country has just been established, and the war on the grassland has not stopped, so it is necessary to recuperate and recuperate for a period of time both emotionally and rationally.
No matter what else, food also needs time to slowly accumulate.
In these wars, except for the civil war where more people died, with the Angel Legion present, the losses on the grassland were not serious.
After Aaron, Urdola was appointed as the Minister of Logistics.
Elboka Jr. was appointed Minister of Agriculture.
Luo Mingru was appointed Minister of Transportation.
Nofa was appointed as the Minister of Magic. He still serves as Xu Lai's magic consultant, but no longer full-time.
Xu Lai needs more magic consultants, and the magic department also needs more senior mages.
In the previous empire, the Magic Department was mainly responsible for building spell towers for major cities, arranging corresponding spell protection arrays, teleportation arrays, etc.
During wartime, the Magic Department may also dispatch a group of battle mages to accompany each legion to participate in the battle.
But in addition, Xu Lai also wanted to use the power of magic to see if he could better promote the development of productivity.
It is said that science and technology are the primary productive forces. Not many people in this world study science, and most people study magic.
Xu Lai naturally had to adapt to local conditions and apply more spells to productivity, which required a large number of mages who did not spend their energy on combat spells.
The old people who followed Xu Lai have basically been promoted, and many have been promoted to ministerial level.
Of course, besides those old people, there are other people who have been promoted.
For example, Lin Qiu of Kaunaston Castle was promoted to the head of the Organization Department by Xu Lai because of his outstanding performance.
Other nobles also occupy more or less high-ranking positions. For example, Kanal served as the Minister of Civil Affairs and Maoshan served as the Minister of Culture.
After senior officials such as ministers and ministers, there is no need to announce the remaining positions, and there is no need for Xu Lai to announce them personally.
The last thing Xu Lai announced was his personal matter.
But now that he is the king of the Eagle Kingdom, he has no so-called private matters at all, so he took this opportunity to announce it.
What Xu Lai announced was his marriage.
After all, the queen has already made her appearance, but the wedding hasn’t even been held yet.
This is called incorrect name and incorrect words.
According to today's schedule, after the founding ceremony is completed during the day, there will be a nationwide celebration at night.
Xu Lai had just finished building the palace, and he didn't want to be extravagant, so he took advantage of the evening celebrations to hold a wedding together.
The founding of the People's Republic of China with a wedding is not only justifiable but also a double happiness.
Su Ya became Xu Lai’s queen, and Xu Lai had no intention of favoring one over the other.
In front of the people of the city and the envoys of the major forces, he announced his marriage partner.
Queen Su Ya, Princess Yu Lan, Elvi, Giselle and Anna.
In addition to them, Xu Lai also has a special target, Archbishop Elena from the temple.
The reason Elena is special is because Suya and the others were recruited as soldiers.
Although they have their own personalities and thoughts, Xu Lai has fallen in love with them many times and has never taken any measures.
However, they never showed any signs of pregnancy. Not only them, Xu Lai also asked Fang Yang privately and found that he and Fang Xiang were also like this.
Obviously, their bodies were not born naturally, and there may be some problems in conceiving life.
This problem, Xu Lai and the archbishops in the temple are also helpless and have no solution.
Xu Lai actually doesn’t care too much about whether he has children or not.
He is not too old now, and with such a strong physique, he is destined to live for one or two hundred years.
But he may not care, but the kingdom cannot be without an heir.
The temple then simply proposed the idea of marriage, but the marriage partner they proposed was Knight Commander Lina.
However, Xu Lai rejected the proposal. At that time, Lina was still fighting in the wilderness, but the people behind her had decided on her marriage.
Xu Lai thinks this is a great disrespect to Lina.
What's more, Xu Lai has no interest in Lina, but he and Elena have mutual affection.
The temple doesn't care who marries Xu Lai, as long as the candidate comes from the temple. (End of this chapter)
