"Young Master Ling."
"Since you mentioned this matter today, I won't hide it anymore.”
Facing Xu Zhiling's gaze, Kuo Zhong said frankly,""I intend to establish military aristocrats outside the aristocratic families.”
"Imitate the Qin and Han Dynasty's system of knighthood and establish a system of knighthood for military merits. Under my rule, those who do not have military merits cannot be knighted.”
"The lowest rank of nobility is to reward land and houses, and to grant an official exemption from service.”
"With the highest rank of nobility, even if it is a territory, I will not hesitate.”
Boom!
When these words fell into Xu Zhiling's ears, it made him completely stunned.
Conferring a title of nobility with military merits and opening up a branch of nobility outside of the aristocratic families was undoubtedly digging at the roots of the aristocratic families!
Once the military aristocrat system was established, it would become the strongest barrier for Kuo Zhong and even the Kou royal family.
This was because the military nobles, the royal family, and the empire were bound together.
If word of this spread, the marshal's army would become the target of public criticism, and Kuo Zhong would also become a thorn in the side of the aristocratic families.
"Young Master Ling, don't worry."
"Before I have complete control over the seven counties of Jiangzuo, I will not rashly implement the military merit system.”
Kuo Zhong seemed to know Xu Zhiling's worries and added a few more words.
"Hu…"
Only then did Xu Zhiling heave a sigh of relief. He smiled bitterly and said,"Young Master Zhong."
"I know you have a grand plan in mind, but can you give me some time to prepare next time?”
"If this goes on, I'm afraid that sooner or later, I'll be killed by someone and scared to death by you.”
"Alright, let's get down to business."
"Tell me your thoughts on the further regularisation of the major's army.”
Shrugging his shoulders, Kuo Zhong skipped the previous topic and brought up the military system again.
For now, Xu Zhiling's understanding of the five thousand major generals was definitely better than Kuo Zhong and any of his subordinates. His recommendation of generals was the best choice.
"After this period of training, there are some candidates.”
After a moment of silence, Xu Zhiling replied,""There are very few second-rate experts in the five thousand major generals.”
"Gui Xiliang, Xing Rong, Bai Rong, Mai Yunfei, Wang Xuan, Xie Ke, and You Tong.”
"These people are most suitable to be lieutenants.”
"Among them, Wang Xuan is good at wielding broadswords and has boundless strength. He is most suitable to be the commander of the heavy-armored Mo Saber Soldiers.”
"Hmm?"
Hearing this.
Kuo Zhong frowned slightly.
He knew that Gui Xiliang, Xing Rong, Bai Rong, and Mai Yunfei were from the Bamboo Flower Gang.
However, Wang Xuan, Xie Ke, and You Tong gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but he couldn't remember who they were.
"Young Master Ling."
"Gui Xiliang, Xing Rong, and Bai Rong will be the light soldiers lieutenants, each in charge of a thousand light soldiers.”
"Mai Yunfei will be transferred to the Embroidered Uniform Guards and be in charge of the Jiang Du Thousand Households.”
"As for the others, call them over first.”
"Alright."
After Xu Zhiling heard this, he nodded and immediately left the main hall.
After he left, Kuo Zhong sank his mind into his head and muttered,""System, combine two silver jars and open them. Open the remaining ten bronze jars as well.”
After a month of accumulation, there were another 30 bronze jars in the system.
Ding-dong. The host has synthesized two silver jars!
Ding-dong. The host has opened the silver jar. Reward: Holy Spirit Sword Technique!
Ding-dong. The host has opened the silver jar. Reward: One bottle of Stellar Body-strengthening Pill!
【..........】
Accompanied by a series of mechanical notifications.
The surprise on Kuo Zhong's face grew even stronger. Two two-star treasures appeared in the two silver jars.
Among them, the Sacred Spirit Sword Technique was the top sword technique in the Windcloud World, especially the last move, Sword 23, which could tear the void apart.
With Xu Zhiling's talent, he would definitely be able to unleash it to its peak. In addition to the internal strength of the Art of Longevity, he might be able to surpass the Sword Saint in the wind and cloud.
The Stellar Body-strengthening Pill was a spiritual pill from the world of stars. One pill was worth 2,000 star dollars and could help one break through realms and increase one's cultivation.
Before this, Kuo Zhong had already given the bottle of Blood Pills to Fu Junhao, establishing the foundation of the Brocade Guard. He only had 20 Tiger and Wolf Pills left, and he had no more treasures to reward his subordinates. Now that he had this bottle of Stars Body-strengthening Pills, it was enough to solve the urgent situation.
Five one-star treasures and five zero-star treasures were obtained from the ten bronze jars.
The one-star treasures were the Divine Radiating Scripture, one of the best metal-type martial arts, the Extermination Cross Blade Technique, one of the best blade techniques of the ancient martial arts, a bottle of Marrow Cleansing Pills from the Heavenly Talisman World, a bottle of Emergence Pills from the Great Zhou World, and the Moon Well from the Eternal World.
The [Divine Radiating Scripture] cultivated both the inner and outer aspects, and it also had healing effects. The highest one could break through to the Xiantian Realm and enter the Grandmaster Realm.
There were a total of nine levels to the Cross of Extermination Saber Technique. It was simple, violent, and unparalleled in killing. It was suitable for martial artists below the Grandmaster Realm to cultivate.
The Marrow Cleansing Pill had the effect of cleansing the marrow and improving one's aptitude. Of course, it could only allow one to have the potential to break through to the great grandmaster realm at most.
The Immortal Ascension Pill was a little useless. It could help those below the great grandmaster realm break through a major realm, but it would reduce their lifespan by eight years.
The best treasure here was the Moon Well. It could gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and absorb the moonlight. The condensed well water could treat simple injuries. This was equivalent to having a resource point that could continuously produce medicine.
The remaining Zero-Star grade treasures were not bad either. Ten tons of Wootz steel, the method of forging a hammer, the blueprint of a boat, three thousand sets of fine scales, and the 'Book of Agricultural Government'.
Wootz steel was an ultra-high carbon steel (1.5 - 2% carbon content) smelted from a crucible in India. In this era, it was already the top grade steel. Weapons made from it were definitely the best killing blades. The water hammer technique could be used to mass produce plate armor.
Born in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the Fortune Ship was as flat as a balance on the top and as sharp as a knife on the bottom. It could break through waves and was most suitable for sailing on the sea.
The iron armor was made of Yuan Dynasty iron armor. The inner layer was made of cowhide while the outer layer was made of iron net armor. The armor pieces were connected like fish scales. Its defensive power exceeded that of leather armor and chain armor. It could not be penetrated by armor-piercing arrows. Moreover, it was lighter than chain armor and did not affect the movement of soldiers.
The Complete Book of Agricultural Administration was written by Xu Guangqi of the Ming Dynasty. It was revised by his disciples. The book was divided into 12 categories, a total of 60 volumes, and more than 500,000 words, including: There were 3 volumes of agricultural books, 2 volumes of farmland system, 6 volumes of agricultural affairs, 9 volumes of water conservancy, 4 volumes of agricultural equipment, 6 volumes of arborism, 4 volumes of sericulture, 2 volumes of sericulture, 4 volumes of planting, 1 volume of grazing, 1 volume of manufacturing, and 18 volumes of famine relief. Basically, it covered all aspects of agricultural production and people's lives in ancient Han. The idea of governing the country and the people ran through it. It was indeed an important weapon of a great country.
Kuo Zhong had made a huge profit from this opening.
