Chapter 202 Duke Privileges

Zhang Ziqiang had no intention of going shopping with Amilia and other women. He ordered a guard to pass on the message to them, and also brought the message to Kalilu in the palace, so he returned with Millum.

Zhangzhuang outside the capital is now lived by Mr. Dover and Mrs. Ge. However, no matter how Zhang Ziqiang and Amilia instructed him, the Dover and his wife were obeyed the rules and refused to live in the inner garden of Zhang Zhuang. In the eyes of Dover and Mrs. Ge, this family relationship is greater than a title. If Mrs. Ge respectfully calls Amilia "Marquis", which makes Zhang Ziqiang quite helpless.

As soon as Zhang Ziqiang and Millum entered Zhangzhuang, they saw Irving training several guards. He knew that Irving was also one of the royal spies, but the Zhangzhuang people were not sent by Carus to Zhang Ziqiang, but were themselves stationed in Zhangzhuang. He did not take these people to Yanhuang City, Rosiding County, and naturally there would be no secret leaks.

Before he became famous, the two sides got along well, so he was slightly wary of Owen and others and let them go, unlike those secret spies in the Yanhuang Mansion who were arrested in one go.

Dover and Mrs. Ge got the instructions from Amilia early, knowing that Zhang Ziqiang and his family were going to spend the night in Zhangzhuang today, and both of them were guarding the house. At this time, they heard from the servants that Zhang Ziqiang and Millum were here together, and Dover quickly came up to meet him.

Millum knew that Dover was the head of the Yanhuang family, who was in charge of all the Yanhuang family's business, and married Zhang Ziqiang's mother. She was trusted by Zhang Ziqiang. Unlike ordinary servants, he didn't pay much attention to his identity. He laughed and shouted in a loud voice: "Master Dover quickly go and prepare well. Today is the happy day for your head of the family, which is worth celebrating the whole family!"

Dovers was there and asked Millum with a smile and fun, "Master, where is our waiter's joy?"

"Haha, you still call Mr. Hou. Your head is named the sixth duke of the kingdom today! You will also change your name to Mr. Hou in the future!"

"Oh...ah?! This is indeed a great joy, worth celebrating with the clan, wait... Master, two masters, I will inform you now!"

Zhang Ziqiang smiled and stopped Dovers, who was so excited that he was incoherent, and said, "Haha, there is no need to do a big fuss. You arrange for the servants to go to the royal capital to find the ladies, and send someone to the royal palace to pick up Mrs. Kalilu back. We will celebrate in this Zhangzhuang in a small way. There is no need to make a big fuss!"

"Mr., how can this be done? Such a great joy should be celebrated by the whole family!"

"It's not a big deal, it's just a title. The marquis and dukes are different? The strength of the family is the foundation. As long as they are strong, even if they are civilians, they speak loudly!"

Millum suddenly said seriously: "Brother, this is a bad word. The duke and the marquis are completely different. You used to be just a marquis and didn't know some things yet. Come on, let's find a place to let your brother introduce you."

"Oh? Please, Brother, please, Dovers, have the main building in the inner garden be cleaned up?"

"I received the Grandmaster's order in the morning and I had already cleaned up everything. The Duke just went there. I will send someone to find Grandmaster and the others to come back."

The two brothers entered the main building of the inner garden and retreated to the left and right. Millum introduced: "The position of the duke is very different from that of the marquis. The marquis is still the ruling class of the kingdom. His Majesty the King wants to be exempted from surrender, but the duke is different. The duke can be said to be the master of the kingdom!"

Millum then explained the history of the kingdom and the relationship between several major families to Zhang Ziqiang, which made Zhang Ziqiang realize that Peng Lin of the Stanlow family had committed such a great crime and was safe and sound. It was obvious that Peng Lin sent someone to assassinate Zhang Ziqiang, and Zhang Ziqiang also caught the evidence, but Carus did not explain it. It turned out that the problem was this!

"In our kingdom, once it is promoted to a duke, it will not be demoted to a marquis unless it is a traitor. The king is just a representative of several major families to manage the country. Although the duke and the exiled children with inheritance do not participate in government affairs, the major expenses and some major decisions of the kingdom every year require the dukes to nod and recognize them."

"The king himself is not easy to be a king himself. Like the current national crisis. If the "Development Order" was not recognized by all the dukes, His Majesty Carus would be in trouble. Either his royal family would relieve the crisis alone, or step down now!"

"The crystals and other resources produced by the Kingdom every year are distributed in proportion to several major families, but you won't have this profit, nor does the Randy family. Ellenda is the Duke of the Later Seizure like you, and is not one of the five founding families."

"But you can share the taxes saved by the treasury every year. However, you have been developing in recent years, and the treasury is empty. I guess at your value, you won't look down on that little income."

Millum remembered that the Yanhuang family had strong profitability and could not help but make fun of it. At this time, he turned to the topic: "The most important thing is that the duke has power, that is, recommend the heirs of the kingdom, and the dukes select descendants from the royal family, and then nominate to be selected by all the nobles of the kingdom."

"The royal family cannot control their own patriarch's candidates, nor can they control the heirs of the country. This is the price paid by the royal family to manage the country! When the kingdom joins the army, the soldiers must vow to protect several major families and never point the blade at the duke's family. Otherwise, no matter what the reason is, it is a crime of rebellion! Therefore, the fight between the major duke's families is often the battle between masters of the Jindan stage. The army will not play any role, but the marquis is different. Even the city guards can control him!"

When Zhang Ziqiang heard this, he understood that the Al Kingdom seemed to be a large group company. It used to have only six major shareholders. Now he has inserted it and has become seven major shareholders, among which the chairman is Carus.

If the chairman does not do well, all shareholders will be angry, and the chairman will also step down. The shareholders will elect the new chairman. The candidates will be selected from the major shareholder family, but the major shareholders will not participate in the recommendation.

No matter how arrogant a marquis is, it is equivalent to the general manager or department head. When you meet a boss, you have to be shorter. The kingdom's army is equivalent to the group's security team. Of course, it is necessary to limit the situation and not attack the bosses, even if you have the order of the chairman!

The Jindan masters of each duke family are equivalent to the private bodyguards raised by the bosses. Since they are private bodyguards, of course they have to listen to the boss. When shareholders fight together, the bodyguards go up and fight first.

Now he is like Ellenda, he is the two smallest shareholders. He has no distribution on the profits of Jingshi, but if the group company makes a profit, he can distribute dividends at the end of the year.

You don’t care about how much money is in the treasury. Zhang Ziqiang is not short of money, but his identity is worthy of attention. He has a layer of security guarantee and no longer has to be like before. If His Majesty Carus wants to take him down, if it is not a Jindan master, it is no different from killing an ant.

No wonder Carus was so reluctant to confer his Duke. In this way, this Duke is still in trouble!

He thought about this and took it a little more attention. Millum continued to introduce: "Several aristocratic families also have private troops, but these private troops are not troops to defend the kingdom, because some marquis families also have private troops. Just like you before, the private troops of aristocratic families are guarding for marquis who have private troops like you!"

"Oh? Then don't the private army have to participate in the protection war of the kingdom?"

"Unless there is a crisis of national destruction, the kingdom generally does not mobilize the noble private army to participate in the war. The kingdom strictly protects the property rights of private property. The noble private army is privately owned by others, and it has to pay a price when used. The spoils seized by the private army are also considered private property. When the kingdom army can deal with it, try not to use the noble private army as much as possible."

"Besides, only some marquis have private troops. Once these families are reduced in the next generation of their inheritance, they cannot own private troops according to the law, and these private troops will become kingdoms."

Zhang Ziqiang was very happy. He felt a sense of security soared. Suddenly he remembered something and asked, "Since the position of Duke is so rare, why can Elenda be named Duke?"

"Oh..." Millum sighed and said, "This is also a shameful thing for the Kingdom. More than 600 years ago, Elenda was appointed as the prime minister of the Kingdom by the king at that time. On that day, he unexpectedly broke through to the Golden Pill stage. He had a childhood sweetheart since he was a child. He had been waiting for him to marry for many years. In order to break through the Golden Pill stage, he refused to get married. There are records in the jade treasure criticism. Unable to do so, um... it is relatively easier to break through the Golden Pill stage."

"Erenda is a smart and rigorous person. He has great ambitions and refuses to do anything about slowing down his breakthrough in the Golden Pill stage. So on the day he broke through the Golden Pill, the king at that time personally pointed out his marriage to him, making them a couple. Erenda was promoted, had a breakthrough in his cultivation, and he also got married. It can be said that three joys came."

Millum said this and said a little low: "After marriage, the couple was sweet and sweet, until the tenth day, because they were the king's marriage, Ellenda took his wife to the king's media, but in the palace, he met the heir of the Kingdom of Berwick - the Kingdom of Berwick is close to our country and has always had good friends. Every heir will visit our kingdom on a routine basis."

"This heir is the premiered king of Berwick. When he saw Elenda's newlywed wife, he fell in love at first sight. Then he made a very rude request that he would marry Elenda's newlywed wife as the princess!"

"Erenda and his wife were newly married, and they were as close as they were, how could they agree to such rude requests? After the King of Berwick returned to his country, he actually set up a military campaign on the borders of the two countries and threatened to destroy our kingdom if he did not agree to his request. At that time, the Fierce Wind Dynasty was attacking Nusen Canyon again. The kingdom could not fight on both sides. Even if the Fierce Wind Dynasty's Fierce Wind Army invaded the South China Army, our country would not be able to defeat the Fierce Wind Kingdom!"

"The Randy family of Cute Ellenda is not weak, and Ellenda is completely reasonable. The law of the kingdom cannot deprive him of his legitimate rights. This matter is known to everyone. Even if you take some tricks secretly, you can't hide it from other nobles. This will shake the foundation of the kingdom."
