"Emperor Han, the mandate of heaven is the same. Serve Wei Huaide, Ze is hundreds of millions of people. The stars are in the north, and the currents are in the east. The polar sky is poor, and he does not look up to the ...... The edict of the emperor of the Han Dynasty said: The official doctor Su Xue Su seeks virtue, and the maintenance is proclaimed, and he has made great efforts and outstanding achievements...... I am very happy, and now I am promoted to Su Xue as the thirteenth-class violet prince to reward his merits. Chin this ......"

After the officials of the Ministry of Rites who came to announce the decree finished reading the holy decree, Su Xue hurriedly followed the etiquette, shook it to the ground, made a big salute, and thanked him: "Minister Su Xue thanks, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Still, he was a little confused.

Isn't the thirteenth rank of the Viscount of Violet Isn't he a baron, how did he become a viscount???

So, he hurriedly asked the official, "Lord Wen, what's going on? I remember the last notice, my title should be baron? How can it be a viscount? Is it a mistake by the imperial court?"

If you're mistaken, it's hilarious.

The official said with a smile: "Su Guiqing, you are too worried! You must know that the baron and above are officials, and the review procedure is quite strict, how can this kind of thing be wrong?"

Seeing Su Ze's puzzled look, he explained, "Su Guiqing, that's the case...... Originally, your title was indeed a baron, but later, the Taiji Palace, the Xihua Palace, the East Emperor Palace, and other Taishang Palaces handed over a joint oracle...... Therefore, with this meritorious service, your title will be promoted to Viscount...... Therefore, the position of viscount in this will is the result of converting all the credit of your previous deeds together, and there will definitely be no mistake......"

"Ah, that's the case......" Hearing this, Su Zecai reacted.

It's because of the order.

At that time, Si Ming drove away the three unlucky men of Gargoth, and also killed one of the clones of the Faceless King. Later, he joined forces with several gods and together completely solved Aguda.

Together, Su Ze's merit value naturally increased. Actually, this is because Su Xue is not Si Ming's direct blood relative, and the merit value is discounted and discounted. If Su Xue did these things himself, let alone being promoted to a viscount, it would not be unusual to be promoted to a duke. If he and Si Ming are blood relatives, it is no problem to be promoted to an earl or marquis.

Originally, the will to be promoted to the rank of baron should have come down a long time ago, but it was delayed because of the war, and the result plus the recent credits naturally came together.

Next, Su Ze received his viscount seal, badge, certificate, and so on.

A set of silver seal green ribbon, the seal is ninety percent silver and one into copper, the size is about 2 centimeters square, the front is the seal engraved "violet Su selection seal" six words, behind is the turtle button. The ribbon is a cyan bottom, with 120 green, red, black, yellow, and white silk threads, one foot and six feet long.

Su Ze's current badge pattern has also changed from the original doctor-level cloud pattern and water pattern to the secretary-level star pattern and bird pattern. Now Su Xue is the twelfth knight, and he is the third pole of the secretary-level title, so the pattern on the edge of the badge is three stars and three birds.

And the main pattern in the middle of the badge is the red alert badge that he reported before, "upper sickle hammer head cross, middle pentagonal, lower pentagram".

As for the title of "Ziluo", it was reported by Su Xue himself. Because of the baron and above, a knighthood must be added, which can be given by the emperor or chosen by himself. But if the emperor wants to give him the title, he usually gets the position of earl, and a viscount is not very qualified, so the imperial court sent someone to ask Su Ze for the title.

Su Ze thought about it, and without hesitation, he reported the name of his QQ group "Ziluo Gorge". So, he is now a "violet - This article is transferred from Shushu.com-

- Jue".

..................................................................

After the official went down, his subordinates came up to congratulate him and said, "Congratulations to the lord on his promotion to the rank of lord......."

Since learning that Su Xue was promoted to the knight, Ke Yizheng, Huang Chuhan, Shui Yi and other stewards have also officially become retainers, and like Wu Nai, they have changed their words to call him the lord.

Just kidding, it's only been more than a year, and the knighthood has been upgraded seven levels in a row. This kind of thing, while not without precedent, is definitely rare. In history, perverts like this kind of rocket ascension, as long as they did not die young, they were definitely well-known figures. And Su Ze, as a god's earthly agent, doesn't look like a short-lived guy no matter how he looks at it.

It would be silly not to hug such a rare thick thigh earlier. How could these stewards be fools if they could mix up to this extent? I was reluctant to officially join the service before, but it was just because Su Ze's heels were too shallow, and he was hesitant in his heart. But now it seems that this guy who has no heels has a bright future, and if he doesn't go to work, he will be really stupid.

Therefore, on the day they learned the news, the three stewards handed over the household registration documents to Su Xue one after another, expressing their willingness to officially surrender.

Su Ze said with a smile: "Hehehe, everyone has worked hard, after coming down, I will also reward you for your merits......"

Yes, Su Xue is "promoted to the rank of Viscount" this time, not only has his title been promoted to Viscount, but his official position has also been promoted, from the original 300 stone county lord to 600 stone servants.

Of course, this "servant" is also a fictitious position, but he only has status, but no real power. If it is placed on the earth, it is probably equivalent to the title of prefecture-level ZF consultant, regional CPPCC member and the like, anyway, it is the kind of idle job that only takes money and does not do things.

However, this "waiter" is just a false position, but there is still a difference between having it and not having it. As long as he has this title of servant, theoretically speaking, Su Xue will have the power to participate in court meetings and discuss state affairs, and also have the power to keep secrets as a counselor, to fold secrets, and to meet the Son of Heaven at any time.

Although these powers say that they don't care about specific affairs, if you want to rectify a certain bureaucrat, make a small report, put some eye medicine or something, there is still no problem. In other words, after having the title, it may not be possible for Su Xue to do anything, but if he wants to ruin someone's business, it is not a big problem.

Therefore, generally after having a title, local officials do not dare to provoke. Of course, for Su Ze, whether there is such a title or not, the local officials do not dare to provoke, who dares to provoke the agent of a god? Don't you want to live?

....................................................................................

Wu Nai, the chief of the guard, asked, "My lord, what do you say about your fief this time?"

Wu Nai was the first retainer to serve, so he was naturally the chief.

Su Ze replied: "This fief still has to go to Beijing to officially receive it, what's the matter? Do you have any opinions?"

According to the system of the Han Empire, the fiefdoms at the first level of scholars are: 12 hectares of hairpins, 9 hectares of hairpins, 6 hectares of Shangzao, and 4 and a half hectares of gongshi. The fiefdoms at the doctor's level are: 75 hectares for the five doctors, 60 hectares for the public doctor, 27 hectares for the public doctor, 21 hectares for the official doctor, 15 hectares for the doctor, and the border counties and overseas colonies are doubled, and in some desolate and war-torn areas, it can be increased to three times, or even up to ten times.

And when it comes to the "secretary level", that is, the quasi-baron and above, the fiefdom does not need to be calculated, but "li". The quasi-baron is 50 square miles, the baron 100 square miles, the upper baron 150 square miles, the viscount 300 square miles, the upper viscount 500 square miles, the earl 1000 square miles, and the upper earl 1500 square miles.

If it reaches the "public level", that is, the marquis or above, the fiefdom is at least 3,000 li. When it comes to the duke, the fief is at least 5,000 li. But generally speaking, the fiefs of such "public-level" nobles are rarely in the interior, and are basically in the border areas.

"The imperial capital is not divided for thousands of miles", this is an unwritten rule. In other words, it is impossible to divide the great nobles within a thousand miles of Xinluo. Not to mention the "public level", even the secretary-level nobles do not have it, and the doctor-level nobles are capped.

And Su Xue's current viscount title, it stands to reason that he should be able to get at least a square mile of fiefdom, if he continues to be in Youzhengyang County. Because it is a border land, you can get at least 600 square miles of fiefdom by doubling the calculation.

That's basically half a county.

Steward Ke Yizheng said: "My lord, as far as my subordinates know, it seems that the imperial court has plans to set up a new county in the area west of Youzhengyang County, or even set up a new county. ”

"Well, do you want to set up a new county? What does this matter?" Su Xue was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, if he wants to set it up, he will set it up, and take care of my bird business.

Ke Yizheng hurriedly said: "No, no, no, my lord, if your fief is in a new county, it will definitely be of great benefit!"

"Oh, great benefit, what benefit?" Su Xue was stunned.

Ke Yizheng hurriedly said: "That's the case, if a nobleman like you is a viscount or above, if the fief is set up in a newly established county, then you will be the county commander of this county in the future." Even if you can't concurrently serve as a county magistrate, at least the county magistrate and county lieutenant can. And this position is hereditary......"

Another steward, Huang Chuhan, also said: "That's right, lord, this is an unwritten rule. The principal officials of the newly established border counties were all held by the largest local nobles. Generally speaking, if this title is a quasi-baron or above, and you are a viscount, you can at least get the county lord and county lieutenant in your hands......"

"Ah, there is such a thing?" Su Xue was really a little surprised.

Aristocrats could also double as local officials, and while this was common in the West, it was almost impossible in China. Since the Qin Dynasty, China has basically separated the aristocracy from the bureaucracy, the aristocracy is the aristocracy, and the bureaucracy is the bureaucracy.

The aristocracy only needs to enjoy the wealth, and the administration or something, don't worry about your old man.
