"You Aiqing don't need to be polite, today I just brought the emperor to watch the gladiatorial arena of the new capital, and by the way, I came over to discuss some things with you, and everyone should go back to their respective positions to do it." Sun Lin waved his hand very casually to let the nobles present get up, and found a place to do it accompanied by the two members of the guard.

The Atlantan nobles present did not dare to say much, for the young emperor in front of them, basically all the subjects who submitted to the empire were full of awe, and they were full of endless fear, because the current explorer, who was called the most cold-blooded imperial conqueror in thousands of years, had swept through 4 continents and conquered countless forces under his command, and even fought hard against the combined attack of the two strongest empires in the continent to drive him out of the empire.

In fact, the performance of these Atlanta nobles is already very good, if they are the nobles of the Western Regions of the Central Continent that the empire has just conquered not long ago, those people will basically faint in fright if they know that the person in front of them is going to meet them, after all, the killing order of the empire to the people of the Water Qilin Empire has been echoing in the minds of the aborigines of the Western Regions of the Central Continent.

"If I'm not mistaken, you're Baron Zink, who is in charge of the orc food supply this time." After the Atlantan nobles took their seats, Li Cheng said to the baron who had quarreled with a noble girl before: "This time, you were able to take the lead in raising so much food in a short period of time to ensure the consumption of food by the orcs who moved to the Western Continent in the next half a year. ”

"Thank you for your majesty's love, but in fact, this matter is not the power of the ministers alone. Thanks to these friends, we were able to complete the tasks assigned to me by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and as courtiers of the Empire, of course, I needed to serve the Empire, and I and a few others were just doing what we could. ”

"Of course. As for your full support for this population migration, whoever contributes and who pays for it has already been filed with the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the personnel of the Ministry of Civil Affairs have been evaluating the rewards for a few of you, but I think it should be enough for all of you to become viscounts. Sun Lin said with a faint smile.

Several Atlanta nobles present heard Li Cheng's words, especially after the two words viscount appeared, they all got up one after another, and then knelt down to Li Cheng again and shouted excitedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your love!" ”

The powerful who never set the sun are indeed the most useless existence among all the imperial forces in the King Continent in a sense, because they are only powerful in the empire. They were incapable of getting involved in politics and military affairs, because the sun never set on the strict constitution of the empire and the three major departments under the emperor's command had completed the perfect division of imperial power, and the imperial bureaucracy that Sun Lin himself had single-handedly pulled up was constantly assimilating the elite. It is a comprehensive suppression of the struggle for rights.

However, for the magnates within the Sun Never Setting Empire, the rise in the rank of the magnates is comparable to the interests that most of them can involve, and there is a saying in the Sun Never Set Empire that says: "Baron knights are not as good as dogs." The viscount counts the city lords. The prince is a general, and the prince and princess become a national treasure. ”

This sentence almost explains the current situation of the elite class in the Empire: the so-called "baron knights are not as good as dogs", it is not that they are really inferior to dogs, but those magnates who have won the titles of barons and knights are not even as good as a minor official of the three major departments of the empire in terms of rights, because the officials of the branches and subordinate departments of the three major departments have at least some rights, while those baron knights do not even have these rights, even if they choose to join the army. The vast majority can only reach the military power of centurions and junior officers, and they cannot compare with the political rights of those officials.

And "the viscount and the earl crush the city lord". The main reason is to highlight the difference between the viscount and the baron in terms of rights: the empire is extremely strict with rewards and punishments, and if you want to climb from baron to viscount, if you take your time steadily, even those nobles who do not set their blood will need four or five years, and this is still when these nobles who do not set their blood all choose to join the army, and those who were originally transformed from the magnates of various countries to the barons of the empire, for many reasons, basically only have 10 years to reach the viscount, Unless they can do something that makes a significant contribution to the empire, they will be promoted to viscount.

This led to a general belief in the empire that those who could reach the viscount at this stage were basically comparable to the city lords set up by the civil departments in various cities of the empire after receiving the rewards of the empire.

This is indeed a fact, the task of the viscount level of the empire on which the sun never sets does have the right to "suppress the city lord", but in fact, the commoners and the low-level magnates do not have a comprehensive understanding of this matter, because many magnates do not know that the so-called task of being able to promote to the viscount has far exceeded the power of the city lord in a certain aspect.

For example, the Empire's legionnaires are basically counts, so why are they counts? To put it simply, because they have the right to lead 10,000 soldiers who never set the sun in battle, and even ordinary cities in the empire that never sets, if they only rely on the residents and local garrisons in the city, they cannot guarantee that they can defend under the attack of a legion in the empire.

For another example, the members of the Colorful Birds who decided to join the Imperial Commerce Guild before, they also became viscounts after officially announcing their status as Imperial officials, why? Because of the ability of these people, they are able to serve as the branch presidents of the commercial guilds in various regions, and the regions here are all imperial leaders.

So if you want to become a viscount, in fact, he must have a certain amount of capital, and although the barons led by Zinke are only Atlanta nobles who have just transformed into business, they have firmly controlled the grain merchants within a radius of hundreds of miles in the new capital of the empire, and even now, the grain merchants under their command are still expanding, and they have almost controlled the grain crop trade in one-third of the territory of the original Atlanta Empire, so it is not an exaggeration to let them advance to the viscount together.

As for the remaining two sentences, "The prince is a general, a prince and a princess who has become a national treasure." "It's just a general idea of what the current elite of the Empire is like, the generals of the Empire after the Battle of Maginot. Including the promotion of several rookies are all dukes of the Sunset Empire, and the Prince of Cuman and the newly canonized Centaur Tribe Grand Chief are both generals at home and abroad in the empire. The two of them chased the combined cavalry armies of the two empires in the southern region of the Central Continent and chased the foreign prince of the empire for more than half a month! It is a fact that the dukes and princes of the empire are called generals.

The last "prince and princess become a national treasure", now the imperial family is scarce, there is only one imperial heir, Sun Ba, and the little princess who is pregnant in the belly of Queen Yue'er, not to mention that Sun Lin and Yue'er treat them as treasures, as long as the people of the empire are attached to the empire, they basically regard these two as the most important treasures of the empire, and it is not an exaggeration to call Sun Ba and the little princess who has not yet been born the treasure of the empire.

"But there is a saying in the Empire that says, 'Do what you do.'" Now that you can become the Viscount of the Empire, I hope that you will be able to better fulfill the tasks entrusted to you by the Ministry of Civil Affairs. ”

"The ministers will do their best for the empire."

After receiving the assurance of several grain giants from the Western Continent present, Sun Lin also showed a smile. If they can reach an agreement with these food giants in front of them, then the matter of the migration of the orc clan to the Western Continent has basically been solved, and when the orc clan starts to migrate, Sun Lin will be able to buy enough food consumed by a million orcs for more than half a year at a price of only a few copper coins more than the price they bought.

In exchange for this contract, of course. Sun Lin also paid part of the price. For example, within three years, the food suppliers of the local legions in the Western Continent of the empire must be a few of them, but on the whole, Sun Lin is still a small profit, and don't look at similar situations that also include urban expansion, village construction, forest development, etc., the empire under the command of Sun Lin has almost fooled the Atlantic nobles in the entire Western Continent, of course, this cannot be said to be a fool, after all, the fact is that one party wants to slaughter the other and the other is willing to suffer.

Up to now, Sun Lin has flickered from the cysts of these Atlantan nobles to more than 30 million gold coins through the rights that should have been delegated a long time ago, and even nearly 10 million gold coins are a kind of free donation in disguise.

That's it. Although the Empire's coffers may remain empty for the next year or so, the Empire's finances have been able to escape the crisis of falling into deficit. This will be great news for the sun that will not set on the territory that needs to rest and recuperate, and to stop and digest the territory that has been expanded before.

"Oh my God! It's unbelievable! Our most powerful lion warrior, Gru, has been defeated by a human challenger! Who is this human warrior who has come to challenge? Just as Sun Lin and several nobles began to talk about some topics that didn't hurt or itch, the exclamations of many commentators in the gladiatorial arena reached everyone's ears through the special sound-transmitting building structure, whether it was the leading Viscount Xinke, the aristocratic girl who was arranged to the side, or Sun Lin, everyone's faces showed different expressions.

Of course, it was not the aristocratic girl who had changed the most, but the two members of the guard behind Sun Lin, after all, they were suddenly stunned with a straight face all the time, and this huge gap was obviously very huge in terms of feeling.

"Something interesting seems to have happened." After showing a look of surprise, Sun Lin got up and walked towards the observation deck: "It is said that this Gru is the most dazzling gladiator in the gladiatorial arena in recent times, and even my emperor has become interested in it, everyone, are you interested in going with me to see this mysterious human gladiator." ”

"Obey the will of the crown."

When Sun Lin and the others, including the aristocratic girl who was hiding behind Viscount Sinke, appeared on the observation deck together, and found that there was almost an atmosphere of "this is impossible" and "you are taunting me" in the gladiatorial arena at this time, everyone didn't say much, and picked up the monoculars that only guests who could enter the observation deck could equip to understand the situation in the gladiatorial arena at this time.

At this time, in the gladiatorial arena, the tall lion orc Gru did not have the vigor after defeating the giant beast before, and at this time he was constantly relying on the giant axe in his hand to counterattack, right! Not to attack but to counterattack, because directly opposite him, the human warrior who thought that his body was not even his shoulders was wielding a flame-type knight's greatsword, and he continued to attack Gru like a madman, if it weren't for the fact that the handle of the giant axe in Gru's hand was made of iron, it is estimated that it would have been cut off under the attack of that human challenger.

"The human junior officer of the orc legion, and it should be the orc regiment, the Atlantan nobleman who enlisted in the army from the time of the attack on the Western Regions of the Central Continent." Relying only on a few dozen seconds, Li Chengcheng handed the monocular to the two guards beside him expressionlessly, and said in a light tone.

And the two members of the guard didn't even need a few tens of seconds, when they glanced at the human challenger in the gladiatorial arena with their binoculars, they nodded to Sun Lin, obviously Sun Lin was not wrong at all.

"His majesty is really discerning, and it only takes a few tens of seconds to judge the origin of this human contestant." At this time. The Atlanta nobles present all wanted the true identity of the human contestant, but they would not be stupid enough to say that I knew that this was the son of the Atlantan nobles named Andrell, the appointed son-in-law of Viscount Zinke.

"Among the forces of the Human Empire, who can bring a two-handed sword out of this fierce appearance, in my impression, in addition to the red-clothed swordsman of the Holy Light Empire, there are only two-handed swordsmen in our empire, but now those who are good at using the big sword are basically the grassroots officers of the empire, plus this guy shows this fierce fighting style, and only the human officers of the orc legion can do it, so the identity of this guy is rarely guessed." Sun Lin said, then paused and glanced at a small figure on another observation platform, revealing a smile: "It seems that this guy has caught my attention." (To be continued......)
