"Proprietor, this is the record of the entry and exit of materials from the border lord forces above the earl level in the vicinity of Changhe County so far, as well as the list of some materials purchased by the government" Huang Chuhan was very efficient, and he took back a few booklets that night.

Su Ze immediately took it over and watched.

Huang Chuhan added: "Proprietor, due to time constraints, only these are the ones at present. Other than that. Some chambers of commerce are so secretive that they can't get it out for a while

Su Xue nodded and smiled, "Well, Zichen." It's a good job, and it's not bad to be able to get this information in such a short time. All right. You go down and rest first,"

After Huang Chuhan retreated, Su Xue looked at it seriously, and he whispered to himself: "This Wei Yun family, what's the matter." Yue actually bought so many weapons and equipment, and Lu Ao's family bought so many medicinal materials. It's not going to be a pharmacy."

There are several great nobles in the booklet, and the list of goods in and out of the recent period is not absolutely accurate. But basically Su Ze's conjecture can already be confirmed.

Among them, "Wei Yun" and "Lu Ao" mentioned by Su Xue just now. "They are the two largest nobles in Changhe County. Wei Yun is the "Upper Earl." "Lu Ao is" Earl. "The fiefdoms of these two are there. square kilometers or so.

Although the title system of the Han Empire inherited the twentieth rank system of the Han Dynasty on Earth. But there have also been big adjustments. For example, the name has changed.

Originally, the twentieth rank of the Eastern Han Dynasty should be: first-class public scholar, second-class scholar, third-level answer, oral level is not changed, fifth-level doctor, sixth-level official doctor, seventh-level public doctor, eighth-level public passenger, and ninth-level five doctors. The 10th level left is the long, the 11th level is the right long, the 12th level is the left watch, the 13th level is the middle watch, and the 14th level is the right watch. The fifteenth level is less built, and the sixteenth level is made big. Seventeen-level gallop chief, eighteen-level grand captain. Nineteen-level Guannei Hou, twentieth rank Liehou.

And now in the Han Empire, although the knighthood system is still called "twenty-class lords", it is combined with the "fifth-class lord" system of the Zhou Dynasty.

Official, Maker, Policeman, and Not, these first to fourth class titles belong to the "Scholar." Rank: Doctors, official doctors, public doctors, public doctors, and five doctors, the fifth to ninth rank titles, belong to the "doctor" class. The names of the first to ninth knights have not changed. But from the tenth rank of the duke, the name became the "prince and uncle" of the Zhou Dynasty.

Specifically: 10th Rank Baron, 11th Baron, 12th Rank Upper Baron, 13th Rank Viscount, 14th Rank Upper Viscount, 15th Rank Count, 16th Rank Upper Count, 17th Rank Marquis, 18th Rank Upper Marquis, 19th Rank Duke, 20th Rank Upper Duke.

Among them, the classes from the tenth to the sixteenth, that is, the quasi-baron to the upper earl, belong to the class of "Qing", and the honorific title is "XX Qing" or "Qing Jun Guiqing". Seventeenth rank and above is the class that belongs to the "duke". The honorific title is "so-and-so duke" or "noble duke" Ming duke

Su Ze knew that if his guess was right, then at least among the nobles below the "doctor", the matter was still in a state of secrecy. In other words, even the high-level figures above are not sure of the exact time of this incident. Not even if this thing will happen. I can't be sure of it.

So, he had people collect information on the inflow and outflow of supplies. They are all those aristocratic forces above the tenth level quasi-baron.

，，

Youzhengyang County is too remote, because of the port, most of the population is concentrated in the county, and the suburbs are sparsely populated. Therefore, some nobles who were originally sealed here would rather reduce their seals than come here. The main problem is the population, no matter how big a territory is, if there is no one, nothing can be done.

Therefore, there are not many nobles in this county, and even fewer high-ranking ones. The highest nobleman, that is, a baronet of the tenth rank. The second in place is Zhang Feimao and Zhang Sanye, who is a doctor of "five doctors and then more than a dozen". class nobles, and more than 50 "scholar" level nobles.

Even an upstart like Su Ze can be ranked in the top ten in the aristocratic circle of this county. I have to say that this right Zhengyang County is really a place, where dogs don't.

In the past, Su Xue didn't understand the situation, and he picked this fiefdom when he saw that the terrain was suitable, but now it's too late to regret it.

It is not to blame that those officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs did not remind him at the beginning that those officials were all Beijing officials, and it was impossible for them to know so carefully about local affairs. In most cases, it is analyzed through various reports sent from the local government.

Judging from the local report, the right Zhengyang County is indeed good, although it is a new territory. But the taxes are quite generous and the population is large enough. But. The exhibition of this place is very deformed, and at least ninety percent of its tax revenue and population revolve around the port.

Objectively speaking, the county seat is especially the port. It's quite bustling indeed. But the countryside outside the city is very tragic.

"Yi Hao, how is the recruitment of the escort team?" Su Ze was asking his escort captain Wu Nai. Find out about the current armament situation in your province.

"Back to the proprietor, the current situation is a bit strange." Wu Nai said with a sad face: I went to the office to recruit people a few days ago. But now the adventurers and mercenaries in it have almost all been collected by the major nobles, and I heard that Koukou has also recruited and run to several surrounding counties, all of which are all kinds of people.

"Later, I used remote communication to get to know my friends from other places, and now other states and counties. It's pretty much the same thing, so this time you didn't complete the recruitment mission you planned, but just hired a new foreign adventurer.

Wu Nai continued: "Proprietor, this is still my luck. When they got off the boat online, I went over to negotiate with them. I signed a contract with them right away. However, they are only willing to sign a one-year contract first,"

Su Xue nodded and said calmly: "Yihao, although this task was not completed, I don't blame you. If the environment is like this, there is no way

Then, he asked casually, "Oh." By the way, do you know what the reason for this is? Didn't there be a shortage of craftsmen and farmers before? Now it's so hard to find guards. ”

Wu Nai hurriedly said, "Proprietor, I also inquired. It is said that some of the great nobles were preparing to open the New World, all of which required a large number of people. But it's also strange that now the empire is expanding. It's almost at the limit, even if it's laid, no one will work."

"Well, that's it for the time being, you don't have to pay special attention to it, just entrust it to the officer. Your main task now is to organize the people and conduct the seven military exercises. There are also those escorts, we must strengthen their cooperation," Su Ze emphasized some precautions, and then sent Wu Nai away.

"Hmph, what opened a new continent overseas. This kind of excuse is too low-level," Su Ze couldn't help but be a little amused.

From the current indications, it is completely confirmed. I started to predict it myself.

Yes, it's war! The Han Empire is about to face a war.

As for the enemy, you don't even need to ask, it must be those indigenous barbarians, yellow-headed, orcs, and goblins", and they will definitely not be able to run away from these families.

Speaking of war. The Han Empire is absolutely not stage frightened. You must know that the Han Dynasty was the period when China's martial arts were at its peak and the folk customs were the most vigorous. The Otherworldly Han Empire also inherited this characteristic intact. It's even too much to visit.

The Han Empire has grown from less than 50,000 square kilometers of territory when it was first founded to more than 10,000 square kilometers of territory now.

Of course, according to official propaganda, we Han have always loved peace and never engaged in aggression, and these indigenous barbarians have been "educated" by the empire.

The propaganda department of the Han Dynasty claimed: The natives of these territories are inspired by the glorious civilization of our empire, so they are vying to annex them. Under their "sincerity" and "bitter pleading". The Empire "reluctantly" accepted their territory.

Of course, in the process of attaching, the natives inevitably have some black sheep, fell into evil, and embarked on the road of no return against society and humanity, and the empire had to endure their pain in order to save more innocent people.

This argument is obviously used to fool the ignorant aliens, and even the smarter goblins will not believe it. If only the natives had believed it. That's a fool. Of course, Su Ze would not believe this kind of nonsense.

Anyone with a little bit of insight knows it. The Imperial Department of Propaganda" was a concentration camp of liars and braggarts, who were "talking nonsense with their eyes open" and turning black and white into deer for nothing. He is known for his skills and dares to say anything shameless. No matter how much the Sect Comfort Division whitewashes and fools, it can't change the vigilance and hatred of the surrounding forces towards the empire. After all, everyone is not stupid. If you really believe it, those fools of the Sect Comfort Division, I don't know how to die when the time comes.

It's only been ten years since the last war.

However, the current indications suggest that the scale of this war is likely to be much larger than the one ten years ago.

According to Su Ze's understanding, in the war ten years ago, the battlefields were concentrated in the north, and there was no war in the south. But now it's different, except for the borders with the elves and some vassals, many of the great nobles have begun to prepare for war.

For this upcoming war, Su Ze is not afraid, because he has time and space and can run away at any time.

What he was worried about now was, whether he would participate in this war or not?

War is not a family. Once you get involved, you can't help yourself. On the battlefield, anything can happen, and even if there is a time and space gate, it is not necessarily completely safe.

However, if you are really involved. And if you win, then here later. will gain a higher status. After all, this other world is the main foundation of the sect chosen by Su Ze

Risk: Too lazy to think of a name, recruit a few lords and gods.

, surname, first name, and characters are complete. There is a number of the best. It is better to have a family source.

2. The lord must have a family coat of arms, of course, this pattern must be based on traditional Chinese characteristics.

3. Basic attributes, specialties, physiognomy or something.
