Chapter 118 - Marquis? (2/2)
one astray! How could Zhou Shu’s current achievements allow hi hie reward!
“It’s impossible to confer hion Sparrow Saber can help Great Xia take back the You and Bing prefectures!” E said
“However, I am not soiven As a workshop superintendent of the Forging Division, Zhou Shu contributed six standard long sabers in a row His achieve, so let’s make him a county baron”
“County baron? Isn’t that position too low?” Yin Wuyou said unhappily
She was talking about conferring Zhou Shu the title of marquis, but the emperor wanted to make him a county baron?
Duke, marquis, count, viscount, followed by baron, the difference was several levels
“Still too low?” E was speechless A workshop superintendent of the Forging Division was a ninth-rank official, while a county baron was a fifth-rank official This was already equivalent to advancing four ranks in a row!
In the history of Great Xia, he was one of the fastest to ascend Wasn’t this enough?
“Six standard long sabers and a divine weapon like the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Saber!” Yin Wuyou said with dissatisfaction “Are these only worth a county baron?”
“What do you think? How many meritorious deeds do the soldiers on the front lines have to make in order to obtain a noble title? Do you kno many meritorious deeds are required to obtain a noble title?” Emperor Yuan said unhappily
The titles of Great Xia were not that worthless!
This title was not just a title It also had a fief!
A county baron would be given a fief of three hundred households!
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that even if he didn’t do anything else in his life, he wouldn’t have to worry about food
“Making hiood reward for his current contributions Anywaved his hand “In that case, I would truly not be giving rewards or punishments where it’s due!
“It’s not difficult for him to be conferred the title of marquis I’ve already issued a decree Whoever can rank first in the Standard Armament Manual will be conferred the title ofsaid
He had indeed issued this i Masters, or even Grand Craftsmen, to develop standard weapons
After all, it was extremely rare for a Grand Craftsman to be a marquis
The titles of nobility in Great Xia were all real nobility and could only be obtained through h Grand Craftshly respected, not everyone could obtain a noble title Even if they cuold, they were usually viscounts and barons Never were they conferred as counts
Beco a marquis was attractive even to Grand Craftsht about it It was indeed a bit difficult to confer him a marquis title directly
However, the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Saber still had a high chance of ranking first in the Standard Armament Manual
When the time came, he would be conferred the title of marquis This was fine too After all, there were only a few days left
“Father, if you confer Zhou Shu the title of the county baron, shouldn’t there be a baron’s ood piece of land…” Yin Wuyou continued to fight for Zhou Shu’s welfare
The veins on E’s forehead throbbed He was about to lose his patience!

“Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Saber?” Great Wei’s Ihtly He looked at Shen Yue and asked, “Is it really that strong?”
“My Dragon Slaying Saber broke into two upon collision,” Shen Yue said with a serious expression “Although I didn’t get to use it, I can be sure that in terrade weapons ht not be able to compare to it!”
“In that case, it will be somewhat troublesome,” Xiao Shunzhi said in a low voice “Is it possible for Zhou Shu to join our side?”
“No” Shen Yue shook his head “I saw hi with Great Xia’s Princess Yin Wuyou, and they seemed to have an affair I’m afraid it’s impossible that he will betray Great Xia
“The spies froested that we kill Zhou Shu immediately Unfortunately, our men were eliminated before they could take action!” Shen Yue said with hatred
Xiao Shunzhi glanced at Shen Yue “I know you have hatred in your heart, but Shen Ye died for the sake of Great Wei Great Wei will not forget hied sooner or later We have a mission this ti, I won’t be able to protect you!”
“Teacher, Zhou Shu is Mi Ziwen’s sworn brother He threatened our nantly
“My every hao If I don’t take action, do you think you can kill him?” Xiao Shunzhi said coldly
“Even if you kill hie such a powerful weapon not have experts protecting hi hion Sparrow Saber, as long as the Great Xia Iainst anyone trying to assassinate hied! Mi Ziill also die! You are not allowed to act recklessly in Chang’an!”
“I understand” Shen Yue lowered his head, but his eyes were full of hatred
Shen Ye was his elder brother, albeit his elder brother of a different mother Since Mi Ziwen dared to kill his elder brother, he would destroy the entire Mi family! He would kill everyone around hion Sparrow Saber is really that strong, then our previous plan uaranteed” Xiao Shunzhi did not notice Shen Yue’s expression He pondered for a , “It seems that we still have to improve it We cannot afford to have any accidents!”
“Yes, Teacher” Shen Yue bowed
