Chapter 77: Divine Court intervenes(1/2)

 From what Wan Yutang said, this noble treatment seems to be very important.

Liu Yuanchen was a little puzzled: "Is the treatment of a small nobleman so important?"

Wan Yutang smiled and said: "When you have the opportunity to travel and walk around the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty, you will know how important noble treatment is.

The current Great Xia Dynasty is based on nobles.

Those nobles who have fiefdoms are the real emperors in their fiefdoms.

As long as they don't collude with the Pantheon Cult and the Monster Clan, and don't attempt to rebel, almost no one can touch them.

Of course, you can’t offend the Demon Suppressing Temple, otherwise everything will turn into trouble.

In addition, most of the officials at all levels in the Great Xia Dynasty were held by nobles.

Only nobles and people with meritorious service can hold the position of a landowner.

Only nobles can hold more important official positions.

Even if he dies, a big noble can find a job in the Divine Court without having to suffer the pain of reincarnation."

"The ancestors of the great nobles all made great contributions in resisting the invasion of monsters and were very powerful.

As for those top nobles, their ancestors participated in the establishment of the Divine Court, and their status is even more transcendent.

As for the minor aristocrats, most of them have the blood of the major aristocrats, or are from distant branches, or are relatives.

A monk born as a commoner, even if he is extremely powerful and has made great contributions, will still find it difficult to obtain noble status."

"Now there are only two ways to obtain noble status.

One is to ‘offer land’, just like Qingdan Sect and Tieding Mountain, bringing their own territory to the Great Xia Dynasty.

All senior leaders of the two sects will obtain noble status.

However, this noble status is not based on blood, but is linked to position.

Whoever is the leader of the clan will have the title of doctor.

Even the eldest son of the sect leader will automatically lose his noble status if he fails to become a senior member of Qingdan Sect in the future."

Although Liu Yuanchen had heard something about the Great Xia Dynasty, he didn’t know much about its system.

I only know that the power structure of the Great Xia Dynasty was mainly based on feudal princes, with counties and counties as auxiliary.

"What's another way to become a noble?"

Wan Yutang smiled and said: "This path is prepared for heroes who are born in the common people, and that is to marry a noble.

For example, in the Luochuan Kingdom, which is adjacent to the Red Wasteland, the famous Luochuan general Zhao Hanjiang was born as a commoner, and he made great achievements in fighting against the demon clan.

Later, he married the niece of King Luochuan, thus gaining noble status.

And by virtue of his military exploits, he became the minister of thousands of households in the city. This has already crossed the threshold of a great noble.

However, his title and noble status can only be inherited by his descendants and the niece of King Luochuan.

If he marries a concubine who is not from a noble family, that concubine's son will not be eligible to become a noble.

Unless his concubine also has noble ancestors, a concubine can become a noble."

Liu Yuanchen suddenly realized: "It seems that the status of the nobles of the Great Xia Dynasty is really high enough.

Only those with noble blood can become hereditary nobles."

Wan Yutang nodded: "That's it, the senior officials of Qingdan Sect can all obtain noble status.

Although this nobility may not necessarily be passed on to one's own son, it is another form of hereditary inheritance.

Moreover, with this noble status, it will be much easier to marry those blood nobles in the future."

"With your talent and status, Junior Brother Liu, it is not a problem for you to marry King Luochuan's biological daughter.

When nobles intermarry, their natal family will usually have concubines as dowry, and these concubines are also members of the head wife’s clan.

Whether they are children born to the head wife or concubines, they are all nobles.

Junior Brother Liu can be accepted as a disciple by Uncle Zhao, so he must be extremely strong physically.

Let King Luochuan accompany him with a few more concubines and give birth to ten or eight sons.

In three or five generations, a great aristocratic family was built.

King Luochuan is from the royal family of Daxia, and when the time comes, you will be a relative of the emperor."

Wanbao Chamber of Commerce is indeed a businessman, and this nonsense is really no joke.

Liu Yuanchen waved his hands repeatedly: "I'm just curious to ask, don't talk about whether there is something or not.

I want to know, who manages these three counties?"

Wan Yutang smiled and said: "It hasn't been decided yet, after all, this is just the beginning of preparations.

Next, we need to clarify the population and resources.

Then, based on the population and resources, official ranks and titles are assigned to each force.

The Great Xia Dynasty had to send officials and troops to the area, and the Divine Court also needed to send gods to stay everywhere.

In addition, the journey is far away, and if we don’t work hard for three to five years, we may not be able to stop.

For a rising star in the Tianxing Division like Senior Brother Lu, it is difficult to get ahead without noble status.

There are no old nobles controlling the Red Wasteland, so there are more opportunities.

I came here just to get a good job."

"Some bureaucrats at all levels in the three counties must be transferred from outside.

Of course, local people must also appoint a group of people.

The governor of Qingdan County is most likely Uncle Zhao, your master.

And the governor of Tieding County is probably from Qianji City."

Hearing this, Liu Yuanchen was a little confused.

How can your master still be the head of a county with his unattractive appearance?

Seeing that he was a little confused, Wan Yutang smiled and said: "You may not know much about Uncle Zhao.

Uncle Zhao served as General Jianwu on the border against the demon clan.

Although he is just a general, he has thousands of elite men under his command.

Based on his achievements, if he is willing to accept the reward, he will not be able to escape the title of Lord.

It is a pity that the disciples of Bahuang Pavilion are working under Shenting and are only willing to hold temporary official positions and do not accept titles."

Liu Yuanchen naturally knew the reason. Once he accepted the title, he would truly become a subordinate of the Divine Court, and it would be difficult to be free in the future.

"I really didn't know that Master had such wonderful experiences. It seems that I really want to go outside for a walk in the future."

Wan Yutang said quite generously: "If Junior Brother Liu wants to travel outside, just contact the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce.

As long as you take out the Bahuang Pavilion token, any Wanbao Chamber of Commerce store will fully support you."

"You are both a native of Chihuang Plain and a disciple of Bahuang Pavilion.

As long as you have this intention, you can serve as the magistrate of Qinghe County.

When your cultivation level is high, becoming a county guard will not be a problem."

"All the land in the Qingshui River Basin should be placed under the jurisdiction of Qinghe County.

When the time comes, don’t you still have grievances and revenge?”

Liu Yuanchen waved his hand: "I don't have that leisure. There are about ten large and small families in the Qingshui River Basin, and there must be hundreds of monks.

In addition, the Divine Court attaches great importance to mortals, and the total number of mortals in each family is at least hundreds of thousands.

With so many things to worry about, how can you still think about cultivation?"

Hearing this, Wan Yutang couldn't help laughing: "The temperaments of the disciples of Bahuang Pavilion are really the same. They all don't like to manage secular affairs and focus on cultivation."

Liu Yuanchen also asked again: "The governors of the two counties are not from Shenting. So, wouldn't Shenting be at a disadvantage?"

Wan Yutang shook his head slightly: "Junior Brother Liu, you still know too little about the Great Xia Dynasty.

The bureaucratic configuration of a county is not as simple as just one county governor.

In addition to the county governor, there are also county magistrates who are in charge of the daily affairs of the county.

The county magistrate can intervene in matters such as taxation, official evaluation, and trial cases.

There will also be county soldiers in the county, which are used to defend against foreign enemies and maintain public order. They are under the control of the county captain.

In addition, there are county censors who are responsible for supervising officials.

Behind the scenes, there are people from the Demon Suppression Temple watching.

Once these officials confront the county magistrate, they can completely sideline the county magistrate.

As long as these people are from the Divine Court, even if the county governor wants to cause trouble, he won't be able to cause any big trouble."
