Chapter 1197 Tassel Kingdom Court Meeting
On the morning of February 15th in the seventh year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao and Su Yan had breakfast together in the imperial dining room of King Liusu's palace. During the breakfast, the two had already separated from each other regarding the development of Yi Gong's territory. All the information was exchanged.
Su Yan then invited Qu Mao to participate in the court meeting of the Tassel Kingdom. After all, the content of the court meeting was to discuss the upgrade of the Tassel Kingdom to the Tassel Empire, so Qu Mao naturally went happily.
It was originally Qu Mao's request to upgrade the Tassel Kingdom to the Tassel Empire, so Qu Mao has always been very attentive.
Considering upgrading the Tassel Kingdom to the Tassel Empire, the main reason is that after Qu Mao considers capturing the Mughal Empire in the future, he will definitely make Mo Yangqiao the queen of the Mughal Empire.
Judging from the sources of the heroes in the Yigong Territory, Su Yan and Mo Yangqiao actually have similar backgrounds, but Su Yan came to the Yigong Territory much earlier than Mo Yangqiao.
Furthermore, Su Yan has made great contributions to the development of the Yigong territory to the present point, but Mo Yangqiao's contribution is far inferior to Su Yan.
Even Mo Yangqiao can become the queen of the Mughal Empire, Qu Mao naturally wants to promote Su Yan's Tassel Kingdom to the Tassel Empire, and also has to ensure that the strength of the Tassel Empire is not weaker than the Mughal Empire, this is Qu Mao Key reasons for wanting to upgrade Tassel Kingdom to Tassel Empire.
Therefore, at many meetings in Yigong territory, Qu Mao proposed more than once to promote the Tassel Kingdom to the Tassel Empire.
Now Su Yan invites Qu Mao to attend the court meeting of the Tassel Kingdom because of her promotion to the Tassel Empire. Qu Mao naturally goes there with pleasure. As soon as she pushes the breakfast plate, Qu Mao follows Su Yan and walks towards the palace hall of the Tassel King.
Walking into the main hall of the Tassel King's Palace, Qu Mao took a look at the civil and military officials of the Tassel Kingdom standing on both sides of the hall. They were so dark that the momentum was not weaker than the general meeting of heroes held on the second floor of the lord's hut in the Holy Land of Yigong Territory.
In fact, the military forces in all independent territories of the Yigong Territory are very weak. They are nothing more than the two military forces of the royal guard and the guardian force. The guard force is mainly an army recruited, trained and supported by each independent territory. The rank will not exceed the third rank , the total number has also been restricted by Yi Gong territory according to the independent territory level.
As for the royal guards in the independent territories, after the reform, they were directly appointed by the Imperial Guards of the Yigong Territory, and they had to be replaced every certain period of time. The territory only provides campsites, logistical supplies, and military pay.
Even if the Tassel Kingdom is an independent territory managed by Su Yan, it is no exception. Therefore, the proportion of officials standing in the palace hall, civil and military ministers is not coordinated, and the number of generals is relatively rare. The Marquis Zhang Zhigang of the Kingdom of China is just four or five people, and the rest are more civil servants of the Tassel Kingdom itself.
At the beginning of the year, Marquis Zhang Zhigang, persuaded by Zhao Pan, gave up the fief of the Marquis of Luanshan and moved the fief to the Marquis of Bertier. Three times as much as Hou Guo, so Marquis Zhang Zhigang is also very satisfied.
The Luanshan Hou Kingdom has now become the Luanshan City of the Tassel Kingdom and its territory, which belongs to the directly-administered territory of the Tassel Kingdom.
Of course, the Tassel Kingdom is still an independent territory of the Yigong Territory on the Eastern Continent after all, and Su Yan is the chief internal affairs officer of the Yigong Territory, so some of the civil and military ministers currently standing in the hall are also dispatched by the Holy Land of the Yigong Territory come here.
Although these administrative officials were sent by the Holy Land, Qu Mao basically didn't know them because of their low rank.
But these administrative officials sent here all know Qu Mao.
Sitting on the king chair beside Su Yan, Qu Mao listened to the noisy discussion of the various ministers in the hall discussing the matter of upgrading the Tassel Kingdom to the Tassel Empire, and soon began to regret that he wanted to attend this court meeting.
After a long morning, Qu Maocai found some clues about the conditions for the aborigines to upgrade to an empire from the words of the ministers.
It seems that the territorial size and military strength are only a small proportion of the requirements for the aborigines to upgrade to an empire. Qu Mao did not understand the rest of the administrative effectiveness, economic strength, and prosperity of the residents.
After the morning meeting, Su Yan took Qu Mao to the royal dining room for lunch again.
When the lunch was served, Qu Mao was not in a hurry to eat, but looked at Su Yan.
Su Yan said with a smile: "My lord, you should have a general understanding of the development of the Tassel Kingdom now, right?"
Qu Mao said helplessly: "Su Yan, after listening to the court meeting all morning, I feel like I'm in a fog, and I didn't understand anything.
You just tell me directly: What are the conditions for the Tassel Kingdom to be upgraded to the Tassel Empire? If I can help, I will spare no effort to complete the promotion of Tassel Kingdom as soon as possible. "
Su Yan waved her hand and said, "My lord, there are no unfulfilled conditions for the Tassel Kingdom to be promoted to the Tassel Empire. The main reason is that the time point must be postponed to March 31, because the independent territory newly included in the Tassel Empire's territory has not been ruled for three months." months."
Qu Mao nodded and said, "That's fine, I'm relieved.
On March 31st, I will definitely come to the Tassel Empire again and personally preside over the ceremony of your coronation as Her Majesty the Empress of the Tassel Empire. "
Su Yan said with a smile: "Thank you, my lord.
When the lord promised his subordinates to restore the country, the subordinates still thought that you were just trying to stabilize the subordinates.
Unexpectedly, in less than six years, you not only helped your subordinates restore the country, but also upgraded the Tassel Principality to the Tassel Kingdom, and now it is about to be upgraded to the Tassel Empire.
The subordinates don’t even know how to repay you, my lord…”
Qu Mao patted Su Yan on the shoulder, said with a smile: "Su Yan, you deserve this.
Without your assistance, Yi Gong territory would not have been able to develop to where it is in such a short period of time. "
Su Yan said with some embarrassment: "My lord, I just did what my subordinates should do. In fact, the development of Yi Gong's territory depends more on your unique vision and selfless investment, my lord."
Qu Mao waved his hand to stop Su Yan, and said: "Su Yan, none of us should speak politely, the development of Yigong territory cannot be separated from the efforts of each of us.
I will go around the Tassel Empire, and I plan to return to the Holy Land in early March. I hope that Zhen Fu and Hua Tielan will have some results in the inverted U-shaped area during this time. "
Su Yan said: "Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will fully support Zhen Fu to achieve this goal."
