Papa Paladin

  The old nobles were constantly being cut down, and the difficulty of obtaining new titles was increasing day by day. Later, only those who had made great contributions to the country were eligible to receive titles, and they were often honorary titles.

  The title of honor belongs to the individual and cannot be inherited. It is only used as a symbol of identity and status, and does not have any privileges.

  But the real title is completely different. The real grant is the fiefdom, that is, the permanent land, which can be passed down from generation to generation. As long as the Great Xia does not perish, the right will always exist.

  However, since the Great Xia’s political system changed and the cabinet came to power, there are too few people who have actually been conferred titles. Each of them has a legendary story worthy of a special book, and it is an existence that can be included in history textbooks.

   There is a reason for this.

  The royal family was in decline. In order to search for wealth, they openly sold their officials and nobles, creating a large number of incompetent and corrupt old nobles, which almost led to the demise of Great Xia.

  The newborn Great Xia has learned from the previous lessons and formulated extremely strict rules in this regard, making fewer and fewer people with titles.

   It is precisely because of this that things are rare and expensive. The Daxia cabinet gave Zuo Yi a real earl, which undoubtedly showed the respect and sincerity of the Daxia senior management for him.

   Corresponding to the earl title is a total of 3,700 hectares of land including the Linjiang town area, which is a fief of 55,500 mu.

  These lands not only have permanent property rights, but also have preferential taxation generated in the fief.

  Although Linjiang Town is not located in the urban area, within the direction of urban development, housing prices along the South Bank keep rising. If all the 3,700 hectares are sold as commercial land, it will definitely be exchanged for an astronomical sum of money.

  But in the eyes of many people, a conferred title of earl is more valuable than thousands of hectares of sky-high land!

  Even Qin Wuyang looked at Zuo Yi with envy in his eyes.

  He also has a real title, but neither the title nor the fief is comparable to Zuo Yi, especially the latter is far behind.

  Of course, Qin Wuyang is also very clear that this fiefdom is actually an alternative exchange for the Leishi resources that Zuo Yi has mastered.

   Otherwise, it would be extremely generous for the cabinet to allocate thousands of acres of land.

   And Zhang Zonghan and Xiao Li, the two leaders of the Great Xia, are also very emotional in their hearts. Zuo Yi is only thirty years old, but he has already reached the peak that countless people dream of.

   What surprised everyone was that in the face of this astonishing honor and benefits, Zuo Yi behaved very calmly, neither the surprise of being hit by the sky, nor the pride of reaching the pinnacle of life.

  He just nodded and said lightly: "Thank you."

thanks?

   That’s it?

  Zhang Zonghan, Xiao Li, and Qin Wuyang are all sophisticated characters, and they couldn\'t control the expressions on their faces at this time.

  The corners of Xiao Li\'s eyes twitched.

  Zuo Yi is really too indifferent. Facing the gift of land that Daxia has not had in decades, he acted as if he had just negotiated a business worth a few hundred dollars, and he didn\'t seem to take it seriously.

  Xiao Li has the desire to complain.

  But before he could speak, Zuo Yi smiled and said: "These thunder stones are a little of my heart."

  Obtaining the title of earl was indeed beyond Zuo Yi\'s expectation, but it would not make him lose his composure.

   You must know that in the world of Sadeya, Zuo Yi once had the opportunity to entrust the title of Marquis, owning a territory larger than that of Jiangnan Province.

   Except he gave up.

   As soon as the words fell, Zuo Yi waved his hand, and more than a thousand thunderstones, large and small, suddenly appeared out of thin air.

  They are suspended above everyone\'s heads, exuding a faint blue or purple light, reflecting each other like bright stars, making people hold their breath.

   These are not all the thunderstones that Zuo Yi owns. He still keeps twelve of the largest and highest quality thunderstones.

  Because the magic-like lightning strike and thunderstorm skills possessed by the Sukla Ring must rely on the thunder stone to activate and cast them.

  These skills are quite useful to Zuo Yi, so of course he will not give up.

  He made this division after many tests.

  In fact, for Daxia, so many thunderstones are completely enough. You must know that many thunderstones given by Zuo Yi are large in size, and can cut out multiple standard energy cores, which is enough to meet the needs of combat mechs.

   In fact, it is impossible for Daxia to produce so many armors, because the manufacturing cost of armors is very high, comparable to fighter jets.

   Staring at the Thunderstone constellation above their heads, Zhang Zonghan, Xiao Li and Qin Wuyang did not speak for a long time.

  The three of them were shocked by this miraculous sight beyond common sense.

   After a while, Zhang Zonghan said: "Chief Zuo, you have a heart."

  Zuo Yi touched his nose, shook his head and said, "If I knew Leishi was so useful, I should dig more in Paparo."

"enough."

  Xiao Li smiled and said: "We are also vigorously buying Leishi over there, but it seems to be different from what you provided."

   "Needs conversion."

  Zuo Yi explained: "Give me all the thunderstones you collected, and I will help transform them for free."

  The thunderstones buried in Sassanes are all unstable, and only through the transformation of the world stone can they act as energy cores.

  Only Zuo Yi can do the whole blue star.

  Qin Wuyang and Xiao Li looked at each other with relaxed smiles.

  Although this is not the most perfect result, it has achieved the goal of this meeting, and it can be regarded as a happy one.

   "Chief Left."

  Zhang Zonghan said: "According to the usual practice, a knighting ceremony needs to be held. Of course, this must respect your opinion."

  The granting of the Great Xia title is very solemn. Under normal circumstances, a ceremony needs to be held in the Great Xia Palace, presided over by members of the royal family, and then announced to the whole country or even broadcast live.

  But if Zuo Yi doesn\'t need this vanity, and doesn\'t want to stir up the crowd, then there\'s no problem.

  Zuo Yi didn\'t hesitate: "No need."

"Well."

  Zhang Zonghan took the golden emblem sandalwood box that had been prepared, and handed it to Zuo Yi under the witness of Qin Wuyang and Xiao Li.

  This box contains the knighthood certificate, land deed and earl badge, as well as a set of noble dress made by the royal court.

  From the moment he took over the box, Zuo Yi became an earl of Daxia, owning a fief of 3,700 hectares in the Linjiang Town area, truly ranking among the top of Daxia.

  According to Daxia\'s system, Zuo Yi\'s title and fief can be passed on to future generations.

  Although the title is a descended inheritance, the land is a permanent inheritance. As long as he wants to, he can use it to build a future family or even a big family at any time!

  The three giants Zhang Zonghan, Xiao Li and Qin Wuyang said in unison: "Chief Zuo, congratulations!"

   This moment will also be recorded in the history of Daxia!
