When Han Yun saw the words Zhenbeihou, a smile appeared on his lips.
The three words "Zhenbeihou" are much more domineering than Annanhou.
There is no other reason. South of Dachuan is the sea and some small countries. At most, there is a demon sect. There are no powerful enemies at all, so the Marquis of Annan has little weight.
But Zhenbei Hou is different. Zhenbei controls the entire north, and the north is the great enemy of the Central Plains in all dynasties, the monsters and barbarians.
Zhenbei also corresponds to the races of the two great enemies, and its weight is heavier.
Being able to obtain the title of Zhenbeihou can bring his prestige to a higher level.
Although this move by the emperor and court officials was suspected of wooing Han Yun, it also confirmed Han Yun's great contribution.
After all, killing the king of the demon clan was an unprecedented feat. It was like two countries at war, with friction at the border, and Han Yun suddenly killed the king of the enemy country.
Killing is not the end, they will definitely take revenge. Then Han Yun created a record of annihilating tens of thousands of enemies and repelling the enemy's attack with zero casualties on his own side.
This is unmatched by any military hero, not even the invincible military god Marshal Yue, who has never done it. After all, Marshal Yue can't cheat.
Han Yun's title of marquis this time is a real marquis of military merit and military power, with a marquis directly under his own army.
As powerful as the Qi family in Yumenguan, who had guarded the frontier for generations and resisted demons and barbarians and the Buddhist kingdom, and had made great contributions, there was only one hereditary Yuquanhou.
The title of Zhenbei Hou was too heavy, and the emperor also wanted to use him to scare the demons and barbarians and ensure peace in the north.
"Five: Why don't you say anything? Are you so happy?"
"One: Haha, it's just a false name. It doesn't matter. Why don't you give me more money? There is also the fiefdom. This place is all desert and there are not many residents. There are several cities in the two counties, and there is no fiefdom of Annanhou. Rich.
But I like the name Zhenbei Hou very much. "
"Four: The imperial court rewarded you with 200,000 taels of silver to recruit guards. As for the 20,000 troops, the money and food expenses will be provided by the imperial court. After all, it is just an army under your command and jurisdiction. It has military power, but it is not your private army. .”
"One: I know that the Yue Family Army is not Marshal Yue's private army, but it is better than a private army."
"Five: Brother, you still don't understand the significance of this reward. Your two counties are the only places that the Silk Road must pass through. With developed commerce, how much customs and commercial taxes do you have to pay in just those cities? After you divide it with the imperial court, it will be a considerable amount of wealth, enough for you to support another 20,000 troops.
Further east from your two counties is Wuwei County, the fiefdom of Duke Wuwei. "
"Six: My father has passed away. Hasn't the fief been taken back?"
"Five: Well... It stands to reason that it should be taken back. After all, you are the only daughter in your family, and women have no inheritance rights. But no one dares to mention this matter. The emperor also feels guilty for Yue Shuai, so he If the fief is not taken back, part of the annual tax will still be given to you.
It's just that you haven't been there in the past few years, so it's probably still stored in the Wuwei County treasury. During my time at the Ministry of Household Affairs, I specifically checked that the portion of tax money and grain belonging to Duke Wuwei had not been handed over to the treasury. "
"Six: So, that's my money too. I just happened to get it when I went this time."
"Five: Yes, that's what I mean."
"One: Where are you going? To Yumen Pass?"
"Five: Yes, it is very complicated to confer a marquis on a military meritorious officer. We all have to go there. First of all, there is a ceremony to confer a marquis. To be conferred a marquis, at least it must be done by a prince. The best one is a prince, and then What's more powerful is that the prince holds the ceremony or even the emperor.
But the prince won't go. He has to stay and learn how to handle government affairs, so I will go.
Someone from the Ministry of Civil Affairs is also needed to arrange the duties of the registration officials. After all, you cannot be the only marquis in charge of the fief, and there must be someone below.
Master Chai is responsible for this matter.
There are still people from the Ministry of Household Affairs to register money and grain, create population registers, etc. There are many things to do, so I took over this task. A minister of the Ministry of Personnel and a minister of the Ministry of household affairs are enough to give face, and it is impossible for the minister to touch it.
The eldest brother is going to bring you 20,000 imperial guards. He is the commander of the imperial guards, and he is responsible for this matter.
It just so happens that our two princes are gone, so we will hold the ceremony for you.
We all went, and naturally Nian An couldn't stay at home by himself, so he happened to go with us, and take a look at the Wuwei County fiefdom and the Yue Family Army at Yumen Pass. "
"One: I understand. It looks like it's quite troublesome. When you come here, bring some more drinks, food, dry meat, bedding, etc. The conditions here are difficult, and the life of the Yue Family Army is also difficult."
"Six: Don't worry, we will start preparations tomorrow. You can buy while walking along the way. When I get the tax revenue from Wuwei County over the years, I will take it to Yumen Pass and distribute it to the Yue Family Army.
My father-in-law used to treat them like this. Now it's my turn, and I can't treat them lightly. "
"One: No wonder Yue's army is so loyal. A tiger father has no dog daughter."
"Six: Alas, they are suffering too. They have been wronged for so many years."
"1: How long did it take for you to get here?"
"Five: It will take at least more than a month. The journey is long and the army can walk across it on its legs."
"One: More than a month? That's enough time. I will be at Yumen Pass during that time."
"Five: Then what are you going to do during this time?"
"One: Build a teleportation array."
"Five: Translate translate."
"One: For example, if you are in the capital, if you walk into this teleportation array, you will be able to reach Yumen Pass in the next breath."
"Five: Damn it? Real or fake?"
"Six: Arrive in just one breath? Are you kidding me? Thousands of miles?"
"Four: I won't be surprised if anything happens to Master Han, but this time I really want to kneel down for you."
"Five: Then hurry up and get one in the capital. This will save me a long journey. From now on, if I want to find you, I can reach you in one breath, which is faster than getting from my bedroom to Nian'an's bedroom."
"Three: Do you want to build a teleportation array in your and Nian'an's bedroom?"
"Two: If you have time to build one at Yumen Pass, why don't you get one for the Yin Yang Sect? Haha, it's just like the married son-in-law's elbows are turned outward."
Fairy Xuanyi, who had been silently peeking at the screen, finally spoke.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he was like an old hermaphrodite.
"One: This time we will build six passages first, namely the passages from the Qi family, the Tianshi Mansion and the Yin Yang Sect. It is estimated that it will take one and a half months. The Qi family has been completed. The next step is the Tianshi Mansion, and finally the Yin Yang Sect. , after it is built, military rescue operations can come instantly. In this way, the three parties can form a defense system that advances and retreats together. If any one is attacked, the other two can quickly provide support.
It is equivalent to indirectly integrating the forces of the three families. Any enemy attacking will have to face the forces of the three families. "
Some people died, but not completely...
