In the late autumn season, the first snow is flying, and the tower is full of joy.
Ryan, Suria, and the fairy in the lake sat around a small table, with hot pot lit in the middle of the table. The newlyweds sat on one side. The fairy in the lake did not sit across from them, but on Ryan's left. .
"It's not as simple as I thought?" Ryan asked suspiciously, holding Suria in his arms. He didn't come to Britannia for a long time, and he didn't really understand some of the rules.
"Lane, you are from Nord. In Nord or the Empire, serfs want to become nobles, what should they do?" With a smile on the beautiful face of the fairy in the lake, she put beef, prawns, chicken Cut it into pieces, dip it in the sauce, and put it in the hot pot. The goddess actually doesn't need to eat much. She doesn't stick to meat, she just eats some fruit and tastes fruit wine and wine.
The goddess does this just to show closeness.
"Three channels, the same as the empire." Ryan stretched out three fingers.
"The first is to enter schools or churches to study as apprentices. The nobles of the empire will regularly go to major colleges and churches to find excellent servants and courtiers. Although schools always use piety and loyalty as the recommended criteria, there are still many achievements. Excellent apprentices are chosen by nobles, become their attendants and gradually become stewards or even courtiers. When a courtier has accumulated enough qualifications or merits, some nobles will choose to give them a noble status, but this way The cost is very high, and among the common people, only the peasants and even the rich peasants, the merchants and the shopkeepers can afford the high tuition fees.”
"The second rule is to join the army." Ryan stretched out his second finger: "The lords will always need an excellent army to defend their territory. Civilians can join the army every year. If you join the army, you will first receive recruit training, and you will be able to survive. The reservists will wait for the opportunity to be replenished to become a town garrison, and then continue to wait for the opportunity to become full-fledged soldiers.”
"Official soldiers will be incorporated into swordsmen, crossbowmen, spears or halberds. They need to continue to fight **** battles until they accumulate merit and strength to become great swordsmen, and great swordsmen can enjoy double the salary. And the military camp with a good environment as a living place, the best swordsmen will be promoted by the nobles and become military commanders or knights, which means entering the noble class, and some military commanders even have the opportunity to be knighted and become imperial generals ."
"The third way is to find a way to become a knight's apprentice. The knight apprentice will follow the knights to learn and take care of their daily life. After a few years, the excellent knight apprentice will be promoted to the knight's squire, and the squires will start With a certain status, you can follow the knights on the battlefield and make achievements in battle, among which the excellent knight squires have the opportunity to become apprentice knights, fight on horseback and wait for the nobility to be conferred, become ranger knights, and begin to enter the noble class."
"So that's how it is!" Surya's eyes lit up, and she looked at her husband admiringly: "Then Ryan, you must be the third way?"
"Ahem, I'm not. I'm the adopted son of the White Wolf Knight. I was born with the qualifications of an apprentice knight. After I made my exploits in the Battle of Lapland, I would become a ranger knight directly." Ryan said a little embarrassedly.
This is the back door left by the nobles of the empire for their children. The children of the nobles take a different path. They have been better nurtured since childhood. After graduating from court courses or school courses, noble children may become apprentices. Knight, or become a pistol cavalry.
"Ryan, my champion, assuming I didn't help you, you should now be the captain of the White Wolf Knights, living in White Wolf City, waiting for the order of the White Wolf Uric, and the long-term and Drakwald Forest's commander. The Beastmen tribe is fighting against the Chaos Warband in the Brass Mountains, right?" The fairy in the lake said with a smile, her small hands full of pearls and emeralds intertwined and placed on the table.
"Nine times out of ten, then I need to fight for another ten years, accumulate military exploits, and see if Elector Boris is willing to make me a baron, and then accumulate thirty to fifty years of military exploits... Maybe eighty Years, see if you can be promoted to earl." Ryan reluctantly complained: "It should be like this, or longer, my lady, Suria, you all know how many people in the empire are arguing about seniority, I have no qualifications, even if I immediately After a huge amount of credit, there are few rewards left in the end."
The ascending system of the empire is like this. Although it is almost impossible for the serfs to become nobles like Brittany, the commoners of the empire want to become nobles. In many cases, the efforts of one generation are not enough, at least three generations.
"How much is left?" Suria leaned on her husband's chest sweetly, thinking that her luck was really good.
The fairy in the lake looked at the happy appearance of the female knight, and felt uncomfortable. She snorted softly, and the pair of black silk legs under the table moved restlessly and changed her sitting position.
"The credit of the subordinates is the credit of the boss, and the fault of the boss is the responsibility of the subordinates." Ryan said calmly: "The empire and Nord do not have the teachings of chivalry and ladies. I have made countless achievements since I was eighteen years old. It’s just a rise from a ranger knight to a kingdom knight, this is still the result of the White Wolf Knights being relatively fair and only focusing on martial arts.”
Surya understood what Ryan meant. In the Empire, there is no such thing as chivalry.
"This is the empire." The expression on the face of the fairy in the lake was a little proud: "My champion, you did not choose wrong."
"Yes, I don't think I made a wrong choice." Ryan lowered his head. Although the Fairy in the Lake had many ideas and purposes for him, he always believed that the alliance between him and the Fairy in the Lake was a win-win after all.
Only after truly experiencing this harsh system can Ryan understand how difficult it is for commoners in the Empire or Nord to become nobles. Basically, if the beginning is a lowly tenant farmer, it is almost impossible for one generation to become nobles. This often requires The accumulation of three generations.
For example, if the first generation of peasants joined the army and became a swordsman, then he was wounded in battle and retired honorably with a large pension. Then his son could receive a certain degree of military education and rely on his father for the military. Springboard, directly into the military service.
Children of the second generation start out as soldiers, win continuous recognition and military merit in some major battles, become great swordsmen, enjoy double the salary and live in a better environment in the military camp, of course, he is already qualified to send his children Sent to the military academy to study and conduct military training.
The third generation finally came to fruition. Relying on the status and income of his father's great swordsman, he could become a knight's squire, buy knight equipment, or inherit his father's great swordsman's position. Level 1 - Knight.
Of course, there are always some "special cases" in the world. Here is a normal situation. Just like Huameisi, there will be godly favored people or especially powerful people who make triple jumps in a row. There are never many such people, but cannot be treated as normal.
Then, the other way around, what about a kingdom knight like Ryan?
The title of the empire is even more difficult to climb, and it is basically impossible for one generation to go from a kingdom knight to a baron. Generally speaking, it takes three generations. It may take hundreds of years of accumulation from baron to earl, and there will be major wars. Because Ryan is particularly good at playing, and this process should be relatively short, but as Ryan complained, the accumulation of thirty years is the least.
Don't think about Nord, the lord is a lord all his life, and it's good to guard his own territory.
"By the way, Suria, you haven't told me yet, why can't the Duchess Huameisi inherit the title of duke even if she has children?" Ryan thought that the topic was too far away, he held the plump female knight in his arms, He asked with a smile, "Isn't Hua Meisi's husband a noble?"
Ryan thought of the famous "one drop of blood principle". In the United States, as long as a person has a drop of blood of black blood, he is considered a black person and will still be discriminated against. For the nobles of this world, only nobles and Children of nobles will be nobles.
"No, first of all, Huameisi has never been married, and then, even if her husband is a noble, her children are still serfs and cannot inherit the title." Suria still shook her head: "The title of Duke of Leonasay is destined to not be passed on. "
"Why?!" Ryan was surprised now, Hua Meisi is already a nobleman, so he can't find another noble husband?
"Hehe, you don't know anything about this, Ryan." The fairy in the lake smiled: "In Britannia, whether a person is a noble or not depends on the genealogy of him and his family."
"The family tree?"
"The lady is right. From this person's body to the family tree of the entire family, five generations, within five generations, if all his relatives are nobles, then he is a noble, otherwise he is a serf." Surya used a spoon to scoop Picked up a piece of beef and put it in Ryan's bowl: "The Duchess Huameisi is a noblewoman and a nobleman of the king, but her father is a small tax collector, her mother is a shepherdess, she has and only herself is a nobleman , her children are still serfs, and the lady's favor is limited to herself, and has nothing to do with her descendants."
"Hahaha~" Ryan covered his face with his hands~www.wuxiaspot.com~ smiled bitterly: "Ma'am, your rules are really strict."
"This is not a rule I set, it's a rule set by Arthur and his son Lewis." The fairy girl in the lake was afraid of Ryan's misunderstanding, so she shook her head repeatedly: "This is not my responsibility, God belongs to God, and mortal belongs to mortals. mortal."
Lane expressed his understanding that the five serfs who were promoted to nobles in Brittany's history all disturbed the fairy in the lake to some extent. Facing the goddess' oracle, the knights and gentlemen could not object.
"Okay... Then I should also be considered a nobleman. My adoptive father is a nobleman, my godfather is a great nobleman, and my father...maybe the most noble nobleman." Ryan suddenly remembered something, and he said to the fairy in the lake : "My lady, if I plan to give a small number of serfs a chance to be promoted to nobles, are you willing to help me?"
"Do you want to open this head?" The fairy in the lake narrowed her eyes, and she still had a slight smile on her beautiful face: "This example is not easy to open."
"Ryan, I have discussed it with my father, and my father and I will support you on this point!" Suria was the first to express her attitude.
"The entire kingdom, no more than three places a year, are awarded to those exceptionally outstanding serf soldiers, especially outstanding, how about that?" Ryan finally revealed his ambition, in front of his wife and the fairy in the lake: "I want to mobilize The enthusiasm of the serfs always needs to make them have some expectations, and in the end, it is up to you, lady, to check.”
"Yeah~" The fairy in the lake deliberately sold out, and then said: "My champion, do we need to share anything with each other? Since you think it's okay, then do it like this, I will support you."
Seeing the fairy in the lake let go, Ryan felt relieved.
The insurmountable gulf between nobles and serfs must be broken.
This is the most important step in bringing this kingdom to life!
