Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the small courtyard, Lin Bai, Qiao Mo and others were chatting.

    Yi Gu asked curiously: "I really don't understand why so many Chu warriors want to be kings and lords?"

    "In the world of martial arts, shouldn't one pursue strength and cultivation? What's the use of pursuing these official positions?"

    Lin Bai also nodded slightly, everyone in the martial arts world is pursuing cultivation and longevity.

    The official positions and titles of Chu State do not seem to be that important.

    Qin Yao said with a smile: "You guys are blind, who said that the pursuit of official positions is not the pursuit of cultivation?"

    "You want to improve your cultivation? What do you need?"

    "Do you need cultivation resources?"

    Lin Bai and Yi Gu nodded at the same time, and looked at Qin Yao puzzled.

    Qin Yao said with a smile: "The title of Chu State is inextricably linked with the cultivation resources."

    "The ultimate goal of warriors who are officials in Chu State is to become kings and lords!"

    "Only after they are crowned kings and marquises can they get a lot of resources!"

    "This is why we have to mention the princely title system of Chu State."

    Lin Bai and the others raised their spirits again and looked at Qin Yao intently.

    Qin Yao said: "There are four kinds of titles in the Chu Kingdom, Chu Shi, Shangqing, Marquis, and Wang Jue."

    "Chu scholars, most of them are used to attract people's hearts, and they have no real power in Chu."

    "With the title of Shangqing, you can be an official in Chu. If you have outstanding political achievements, you can also be transferred to guard the city. For example, Luo Cong, the lord of Fengling City, and the lord of Wuen City are all Shangqing's titles!"

    "Above the title of Shangqing is the Marquis and King!"

    "Marquis, divided into three classes, they are city marquis, two-character marquis, and one-character marquis."

    "For example, if the Lord of Wuen City does not betray the state of Chu and makes political achievements in Wuen City, the Emperor of Chu is overjoyed and confers on the Lord of Wuen City as 'Marquis of Wuen City' to lead the Lord of Wuen City.  , the practice resources that Wuen City pays tribute to Chu State every year belong to the owner of Wuen City!"

    "This is the Marquis of Cheng!"

    Hearing this, both Lin Bai and Yi Gu widened their eyes, obviously a little surprised.

    After Lin Bai came to the Demon Realm, he learned about the administration of the Demon Realm. It is divided into five levels: "Warrior Village, Warrior Town, Warrior City, State Boundary, and Qianzhou".

    Wu Zhe Village needs to pay tribute to Wu Zhe Town every year; Wu Zhe Town needs to pay tribute to Wu Zhe City every year, and major cities need to pay tribute to the state boundaries every year; state boundaries need to pay tribute to Qianzhouand so on.

    For example, the Eternal Demon Sect where Lin Bai once belonged, controlled more than ten state boundaries of Xieyue Qianzhou, and every year it needed to pay a large amount of treasures to the "Xieyue Sect" of Xieyue Qianzhou.

    And the Xie Yue Sect also needs to pay a large amount of treasures to Qi Tianzong every year.

    If someone does not want to pay tribute, it will be regarded as a rebellion, and Qi Tianzong will send strong men to suppress it, ranging from destroying the family to killing the state border, which is extremely terrifying.

    Graceless City is an important city in the south of Kezhou, and there are extremely many treasures that need to be tributed every year, including "Divine Channel Method", "Divine Weapon", "Divine Elixir", "Rare Spiritual Items", "Heavenly Materials"  Dibao", "Xianyu" and so on.

    If he is conferred the title of "Marquis of Ungracious City", then the treasures in this city that need to be paid tribute every year do not need to be sent to Chu State, but belong to the Marquis alone!

    This is a good fortune!

    And if you don't want to give it, this city lord can still play the Chu Dynasty, and Chu will come forward to support you.

    Qin Yao continued: "Master of the city, enjoy the tax of a city."

    Lin Bai asked again: "Senior sister Qin Yao just said that marquises are divided into three classes, and the third class is the city marquis, so what about the second class and the first class?"

    Qin Yao said: "The second-class marquis is named two-character marquis."

    "For example, King Chai Ning was granted the title of 'Marquis of Anning' before, and the word 'An Ning' in it is his title, which means 'Marquis of Two Characters'."

    "One word Hou means that there is only one word in the title, such as 'Ninghou', 'Qinghou', 'Huhou' and so on."

    "The two-character marquis can usually enjoy the tax of more than ten cities and less than fifty cities."

    "One character, you can usually enjoy the tax of more than 50 cities and less than 100 cities!"

    Lin Bai took a deep breath. He really didn't expect the treatment of Erzihou and Yizihou to be so good.

    Qin Yao said again: "Above the marquis is the king."

    "Wang Jue is also divided into two classes."

    "The second-class king, also known as the 'two-character king', is the same as theLike the word Hou, they all have two words in their titles.  "

    "For example, King Chai Ning belongs to the title of King Two!"

    "The first-class prince is also known as the 'one-word side-by-side king'. As the name suggests, there is only one word in his title, such as 'King Qi', 'King Jing', 'King Lu' and so on."

    "If the nobles are the brothers and sisters of His Majesty the Emperor of Chu, then "Prince" will be added to the prince, such as "Prince Qi", "Prince Lu" and so on."

    "As long as you hear the word 'prince' in the imperial capital, don't think too much, they must be members of the royal family, so don't mess with them."

    Yi Gu looked excited, and hurriedly asked: "Where are the prince's fiefs and taxes? How do you collect them?"

    Qin Yao said: "The two-character king enjoys the tax of a state."

    "Shoulder to shoulder the king with one word, enjoy the taxation of ten states."

    Yi Gu's eyes became fiery: "I'll go, the treatment in Chu State is so good! Hehe, when I have a chance in the future, I will also get a word and shoulders king to play with."

    Lin Bai thought about it carefully, and said with a smile: "Actually, it doesn't sound that good. It's like sealing off a city. If it's in a city within the eighteen states of imperial power, it will naturally have enough oil and water. If it's enshrined outside the eighteen states of imperial power  In some cities, the oil and water are not big enough."

    "The same is true for the fief of the prince. Emperor Chu will not grant you the territory within the eighteen states of imperial power. Even if you become a prince, your fief will only be outside the eighteen states of imperial power."

    "Besides the eighteen states of imperial power, there are so many poor places, many poor state borders, and the annual tax is not as much as a city in the eighteen states of imperial power."

    Hearing Lin Bai's analysis, Yi Gu suddenly realized and nodded.

    Qin Yao smiled and said: "Brother Lin is right, most of the fiefdoms of princes and marquises are outside the eighteen states of imperial power."

    "Of course, where it is sealed is entirely up to God's will."

    "As of now, many of the marquises and princes conferred in the Chu State have never been to the fiefdom. Every year, as much as the tax comes up, they can all be distributed to their marquis and prince's mansion!"

    "Some time ago, wasn't His Royal Highness Chen Wang demoted from the imperial capital? He went to his own fief, but His Royal Highness Chen is the son of Emperor Chu after all, and his fief naturally has a lot of benefits."

    Lin Bai smiled, seeing how His Royal Highness Chen Wang's hands spread so widely, and the panacea and natural treasures given to him were all top-notch, Lin Bai guessed that his family background would not be too weak.

    Lin Bai asked again: "Chu's title, can it be inherited? That is, can it be hereditary?"

    Qin Yao shook her head and said: "The prince can be hereditary, but the marquis cannot."

    Lin Bai's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "This is to encourage those marquises to work hard to become princes, so that they don't want to make progress after becoming marquises."

    Qin Yao smiled wryly and said: "Yes, but Chu State has a vast territory. How many people can own a prince in such a huge world?"

    "Today, in the capital of the Chu Kingdom, there are not even a hundred warriors with a prince!"

    The state of Chu has been standing in the Eastern Demon Realm for such a long time, and there are not even a hundred people who have the title of prince. One can imagine how difficult it is to become a prince.
