Earth Through The Ages

There is no grand ceremony, and I don’t know if the other party feels it’s not necessary, or because the city is a waste of time, and it’s not doing well in all aspects. Du You didn't mind just walking in like this.

Just stepping into it, behind the front hall, a person who seemed to be in his thirties was sitting in the back.

There is a unique temperament on his body, as if the luminous spots in the entire hall are gathered on his body. Although the aura on this person only showed a little bit, Du You still felt the tremendous pressure.

This is definitely a fourth-order existence, and Du You has enlightenment in his heart.

But what shocked Du You's heart was that there was no label on the opponent's head. You know, under normal circumstances, only professionals and semi-professionals will not have labels on their heads. Other people will appear as long as they get close to a certain distance.

The name of the profession, the name of the species, and the level cannot be hidden from the professional. Professionals can occupy such a big advantage in all major worlds, this small label is very important.

But the person in front of him has nothing on his head. Could it be that this is not a professional. Du You was secretly wary in his heart, if other professional organizations came to this world and developed and grew, it would be troublesome.

"Please sit down." The other party pointed at the chair in front of Du You.

There are already many people sitting here, these people are not lords, but some officials of Nanshan City.

Except for a few people, most of them are Tier 3, and most people really can't bear the pressure here. There are also some soldiers standing on both sides, with a strong aura, and they are also some third-tier soldiers.

Du You stepped forward and sat firmly on the seat. Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi stood behind Du You, their aura faintly locked the surrounding soldiers, and formed a confrontation with the soldiers on both sides.

Although two people are not the opponents of these soldiers, the momentum of the battle cannot be determined by the number.

"Lord Du You of the Mountain Territory, you did a very good job. I am Anlut, the lord of Nanshan City. I heard that you have always had things before. Now seeing your strength, I admit that you did a very good job."

Du You was taken aback, this was the city lord. I heard Saria say that the city lord has always lived in the Shenyan Empire's capital, and the person who can be sent is basically unlikely to have an identity problem. It can be said that both parents and relatives are there, and the family is also very famous. Such a person cannot be a professional unless he is dropped by a professional.

But this is basically impossible. In the Shenyan Empire, it is not easy to drop an important person.

The most important thing is that Du You did not find any special hints from Anlut's words.

"Where! Improving strength is the most important thing. Developing territory is just a necessary preparation to improve my own strength." Du You answered calmly.

"Well said, unlike some people who know how to fight for power all day long. Only their own strength is the most fundamental. Without strength, even if there is power, what is the use." An Lut glanced around.

Many people bowed their heads with shame on their faces.

Who doesn't know that strength is very important, but to improve strength is to pay attention to talent, right? Not everyone is as talented as Anlut, able to reach Tier 4 at such a young age.

"First of all, when you come to Nanshan City, it means that you have accepted the management of Nanshan City. In the past, the major territories did not have to pay taxes, but now they can't be under the management of the empire. However, given the environment here, the normal tax revenue is halved. Of course, those who have difficulties can now receive imperial subsidies."

This order is for yourself. Who can pay taxes in the entire Southern Territory except yourself. Everyone else has received subsidies, which is good news, and only one person loses.

Moreover, only a small part of the taxes paid by oneself can be used to subsidize other territories. Nanshan City can get huge profits, but he has to lose a lot on his side, Du You's face is a little annoyed.

"Young man, don't be angry. This is the case where the empire values ​​and strengthens its control. Besides, isn't it safe here?" Du You slowly suppressed the irritation in his heart.

He knew that the empire or Nanshan City was not aimed at himself, but only for his own benefit. As for the previous rules and so on, they are just promises. Who cares if they are not implemented on paper.

The empire is powerful, and if you want to keep your territory, you can only temporarily compromise. Fortunately, they don't know how much their real income is. In terms of cost, what they can do is huge.

Du You nodded: "Yes, but I can't be the only one to lose."

Anlut smiled with satisfaction. The kid was still too young: "Of course not. This is an order from the Empire. In view of your role in the South and your previous credits, the Empire gives you the status of earl."

If you are an aboriginal, you must be ecstatic, but what use is this status for yourself. Du You could only show a smile to express his gratitude, but the smile was rather stiff and awkward.

After becoming an earl, his status is completely different from before, because the earl is already a great noble in the empire~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The status of a small noble below the earl can be obtained by gaining a little military merit. But the status of earl is impossible without a huge military exploit. The last time I did my own meritorious service was not small, I didn't get it either.

Unexpectedly, it was actually obtained here now. However, his own territorial power has long been stronger than that of many earl territories. This kind of title will be given to him sooner or later, and I always feel a bit disadvantaged. Most importantly, does it work for you.

"Now the conflict in the South is fierce, and there are more things for you to develop next. The imperial nobles will also value this place in the future, but you have the opportunity to be one step ahead and gain greater benefits. In the next battle, if Good performance, not only the title, but also other benefits can be obtained."

Anlut narrowed his eyes slightly: "For example, some of the secret methods of cultivation can now be released by military power."

The people around took a breath, which hadn't been said before. Everyone looked at Du You, and a look of envy flashed in their eyes, cultivating secret methods, which ordinary people can't get.

Du You was stunned, is this thing useful to him? If you are a professional, you just need to keep using crystal coins to improve. Those so-called secret cultivation methods are only useful for the aborigines, and it seems like it would be a waste to get them yourself.
