Phoenix Grand Lord

Luo Wei's majestic eyes swept over Charizi and Duldy, "Now, are there any questions?"

Bachelor Duerdi quickly apologized sincerely, "I'm sorry, sir. I'm really sorry. I didn't understand your thoughts before.

"You will be an unprecedented lord, and compared with you, I am just a humble civilian bachelor. My knowledge and thinking are not up to your level at all. My thoughts seem so in front of you. Childish..."

Duerdi took a deep breath and said with a face full of shame: "I am really terrible. If you want to fire me, sir, I will have no complaints and I will not dare to ask you for any wages.

"Of course, if you are willing to continue to give me the opportunity to assist you, master, I will definitely work harder and promise not to ask similar stupid questions again in the future."

Luo Wei smiled generously, "Bachelor, I don't blame you. We just have different identities, so we have different starting points for thinking about problems.

“You are a bachelor, and if you lose, you can change to another lord and continue to be your bachelor.

“And I am the lord, if I lose, I will only be beheaded.

“So, it’s normal that what you think is different from what I think.

“Also, I want to hear different opinions — and while I may not necessarily adopt them all, I encourage you to speak out what’s on your mind.

"What's more, since you came to Merrill Valley with me and you didn't leave even after such a bad start, how could I fire you just because of something you said?

"Bachelor, I trust you. There are many internal affairs in Meilin Valley that need your management.

“Let us join hands to build Merrill Lynch Valley into a strong territory!”

Luo Wei's few simple words made old bachelor Duerdi tremble all over, and his whole body seemed to be on fire: "Master! Thank you for your trust, I will do my best!"

Luo Wei nodded with satisfaction and added: "In addition, the merit iron coin system will not affect the interests of civilians like you. No matter how big my territory is, you will always be my chief bachelor."

With these words, Duerdi immediately covered his chest and said respectfully and excitedly: "Great Master! I, I... don't say anything anymore, I'm going to work! Merrill Lynch Valley will definitely be in Master Under his rule, he became the strongest territory!”

Seeing the old Duerdi running out of the lord's tent like a young man who had been given blood, Rowe couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

Luo Wei knew exactly what Duerdi was thinking.

The reason why Duerdi objected was that the dignity of the aristocracy and the system of his ancestors were only superficial. The real reason was that he was afraid of touching his little piece of cake.

Therefore, in order to appease Duldi, Rowe not only had to explain his determination, but also let Duldi know that his little cake would not be missing.

When controlling one's own people, one cannot treat them in a one-size-fits-all manner.

Especially for key talents such as bachelors and knights, they must be tightly controlled.

Speaking of getting it right - Luo Wei then looked at Charlize.

Chariz walked to the door of the tent, hesitated for a moment, then turned back and asked: "Master, can only slaves get your iron coins for meritorious service?"

Finally, this question is getting to the point.

Luo Wei smiled, "No, of course not. Merit Iron Coins are applicable to everyone under the rule of my territory."

Chariz's eyes suddenly lit up, "Including me? Can I also get merit iron coins?"

Rowe said: "Of course."

A trace of excitement flashed on Charizi's frosty pretty face, but it quickly disappeared, "But, what's the use of me getting the merit iron coins? I can get 2 gold coins from you every month. Monthly salary, if I want to buy something, I can buy it with gold coins, and iron coins cannot be circulated outside, so what is the use of iron coins? "

"You can elevate your identity," Lowe said.

Charizi shook her head, "Master, I am already in the civilian class, and I am an awakened knight. I have a higher professional status than ordinary civilian servants, craftsmen, bachelors, etc. If I are promoted to the civilian class, then I can only He's a noble.

"Can you still canonize me as a noble?"

At this point, Chariz smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Which piece of land in Merrill Valley can you entrust to me? The sentry tower or the mill?"

She had never thought about becoming a noble.

No matter how high the status of the civilians is, there is still an insurmountable gap between them and the nobles.

In an era when classes have been solidified, it is almost impossible for commoners to become nobles, and even intermarriage is absolutely impossible.

Nobles pay attention to well-matched families and traceable bloodlines. It is impossible for commoners to marry into nobles. At most, they can only become the mistress of nobles.

But Luo Wei said matter-of-factly: "Why is it impossible?"

Charizi blinked her long eyelashes full of anger, "Because this is common sense! Everyone knows that only emperors, princes, marquises and duke-level feudal lords can ennoble hereditary lords in their own territories. In terms of titles and territories, only the canonized people and their heirs are considered nobles.

"During the founding war of the Thoradin Empire, titles could be obtained through military merit and territory expansion. But now, the territories have been expanded to the limit. In addition, the great lords of the feudal territories have many heirs. A commoner wants to become a noble. , that’s impossible.”

Lo Wei smiled and said, "Yes, you are right. In an era when it is extremely difficult to expand territory, it is almost impossible to become a noble from a commoner. But...

"Charlis, do you think that I, the master, will always be a small manor lord?"

Charlis's slender figure trembled slightly, "You, do you... want to become a great lord of the duke level? !"

Lo Wei smiled and did not answer.

If ambition is said directly, it will appear very...juvenile.

Although this is the Regan world and Lo Wei has just turned 18, for Lo Wei, who was no longer a "juvenile" in the Earth era, even facing the absolutely loyal Charlis, Lo Wei would not speak out his true thoughts directly.

As a qualified lord, he cannot have a sense of youth, but a sense of "the widower".

Charlis was eager to know Lo Wei's thoughts, so she kept asking, "Master, speak up! Do you want to become a great lord of the frontier? But, this is impossible!

"If you want to become a great lord who can confer nobility, you must first win the favor of His Majesty the Emperor, and you must expand your territory in a way that other lords cannot do, only then will you have a chance.

"But for hundreds of years, no one has ever done it! Not to mention that you have done it, you can't even see His Majesty the Emperor!"

Luo Wei smiled, "Not long ago, we almost had no bread, but now, don't we have bread? Not long ago, we didn't even have decent iron tools, but now, don't we have watchtowers, spears, and bows and arrows?

"Isn't it the emperor? Sooner or later, he will know me and see me.

"Of course, the matter of conferring nobility is still far away for us. However, we always have to have ideas, what if it comes true?"

Xia Liz shook her head: "Impossible, absolutely impossible."

Luo Wei did not argue, but continued: "In my place, it takes 1,000 iron coins for a commoner to be conferred nobility. When you have accumulated 1,000 iron coins, you can see whether I will confer you. "
