Chapter 531

"Father and son, conferring titles at the same time?"

George squinted and looked up and down at the witus' father and son.

Inside the main hall, the envoys of all countries who watched the ceremony were either surprised or coldly looking at Hessen and his son.

It is obviously unreasonable for father and son to confer titles at the same time.

In particular, in the hall of the imperial assembly, Mata XIII personally confers knights, which is even more unusual. Gorgin and Joe are both officers of the Durham empire. There is a little reason for them to be personally conferred Knights by Mata XIII.

But Hessian

Because Joe had arrested so many "spies" a few days ago, embassies all over the world had already found out about the witu family. This is Juncker, who relies on "special taxes" and enjoys the title of nobility.

All medland countries know that only when the Durham empire was faced with a period of difficult national fortune did Margaret III stop being happy and make a stunt of "Juncker aristocracy".

To put it bluntly, it is to let a group of upstarts and rich men use money to buy the privilege of an aristocrat.

Juncker nobility should not be decorated by Martha XIII.

They should go to the Durham aristocracy, pay money from the Juncker aristocracy Committee, and take back their ribbons, medals and titles!

Take a look at the court hall in front of you.

The Teutonic military nobility who can enter the main hall.

The Junkers Even the super junckers with billions of assets and the super junckers enjoying the treatment of Duke, they can only stand in a neat square outside, looking at the open door of the hall with envy.

Hessen is a Junker. How can he enter the court hall?

Why did he go out of the train and stand in the middle of the main hall, ready to accept the nobility of Mata XIII?

The ceremonial officer slowly unfolded the golden scroll and silk scroll.

After an elegantly bureaucratic article, everyone inside and outside the hall heard the conferment of father and son by the Durham empire.

Hessian von witeau, Duke, province of Claude.

- gorkin von witu, marquis, and fiefdom, upper rockson County, province of storm.

-- Joe von wittu, Marquis of the province of strom, county of rockson.

"Ha ha ha!" In the crowd, old lady Mary, standing beside Tifa and Weima, was smiling and clapping.

In Chaoyi hall, only the heartless old lady Mary was laughing and clapping. The other people in the hall, even if they had received some information in advance, knew that the Duke, marquis and ministers who were about to rise, they were all shocked and couldn't believe their ears!

Such a reward is too generous But, why is this?

One family, three men, one Duke, two marquis.

The southern special zone of the Empire, one port and three provinces.

One port is port Toulon. Hessen is the head of the seven member committee of port Toulon and the uncrowned king of port Toulon. The overseas trade of port Toulon is almost decided by him.

To the north of port Toulon are the three provinces of Claude, winders and storm.

The terrain of the special zone in the south of the empire is peculiar, showing the shape of an open folding fan. Port Tulun is the pearl inlaid at the bottom of the fan handle, while the three provinces of Claude, winders and storm are the fans that open to the north.

The narrowest part of Claude's province in the south is only 200 Li wide. From south to north, it extends nearly 1000 Li along the Lawrence mountains. To the northernmost part of Claude's province, the width of its north line is nearly 800 Li.

The whole province covers an area of nearly 500000 square miles, with nearly 50 million permanent residents. The mountainous areas close to the Lawrence mountains in the West are rich in all kinds of metal ores, crystals and gems. The eastern part is adjacent to the province of storm, with large plains, lakes and rich water systems. It can be called a land of fish and rice.

The upper and lower rockson counties were located in the north of port Tulun, which was the main channel for port Tulun to enter and leave the hinterland of the Empire.

The railway from port Toulon to the imperial capital runs directly through the central area of upper and lower rockson county.

Because of its close proximity to port Toulon, although the upper and lower rockson counties are small in area, and the total area is less than 50000 square miles, their commerce is extremely developed. It can be found that the permanent resident population of the two counties is more than 50 million, and the permanent resident population of the two counties has already exceeded that of the whole province of Claude.

If we say that Claude Province, with a large area and nearly 40 million permanent residents, is a rich and happy land in the south.

Then the upper and lower rockson counties are the real high places.

Not to mention anything else, the annual taxes paid by these two counties are much more than the total of the most remote provinces in the northwest of the Empire.

The father and son of the witu family were awarded the title of gaojue, and their fiefdoms were perfectly connected. The total population of one province and two counties reached 100 million.

Depending on the output and population of the fiefdom, as long as the Weitu family wanted, they could form a powerful family private army with millions of elite soldiers.As the governor of the southern Special Administrative Region, the Duke of rose, who owns the island of jiaxijia as a fiefdom, how many private armies does her family own?

The origin of the Duke of jiaxijia, but the old Duke of jiaxijia led the army, all the way to open up territory, laid down more than ten provinces in the south for the Empire, laid down the treasure land of the Empire in the South's only sea port of Tulun, which was promoted by the Marquis to the Duke, and got jiaxijia island as a fief.

And the island of California Although the area is vast, it is comparable to two or three ordinary provinces.

However, the rebellious mountain people on the island of jiaxijia are just a group of unstable factors thinking about rebellion all day long.

The annual tax revenue output of such a large island is pitiful.

Oh, by the way, don't forget the influence of the vittorians themselves in port Toulon With the fiefdoms of the province of Claude and the two counties, with the large private army corps that can be expected in the future, and the influence of the vittorians in the port of Toulon.

In the future, port Tulun will be completely reduced to the private land of the witus, right?

Other big and small families, big and small chambers of Commerce, can only rely on the breath of the witu family, otherwise they will not be able to hang out in port Tulun.

With the support of one province and two counties, even the nominal governor of the southern Special Administrative Region, Duke Ross, could not help witnessing.

Not to mention, it is said that Prince Ross and the witus have a bit of an innocent friendship. The witus are able to cover up the sky in port Toulon because Prince Ross is behind them.

The Duke of zephyr, who can be regarded as the representative of the top aristocracy of the Deron Empire, can't help but ask Salian who is standing beside him: "Your Highness, we know the rise of the vittorians But this kind of reward is too much... "

The Duke of zephyr did receive the news ahead of time, and Hessian would become a great nobleman of equal status with them.

But equal status does not mean that the family's strength and influence are equal.

Without a hundred years of accumulation, a newly rising rich family can not be compared with the old aristocracy like the Duke of Xifeng.

However, with such a province, two counties and port of Toulon, perhaps in less than ten years, the witu family will grow into a top class family comparable to their westerly family.

Duke Xifeng racked his brains, but he couldn't figure out how much contribution the father and son of the wits had made to the Empire to get such a rich and even excessive reward.

With his channels and contacts, he could not imagine what had happened in the Empire recently, which was worthy of such a reward.

"They get what they deserve." Salian also lowered his voice: "perhaps, before long, you will understand that part of the real reason."

"Part of the real reason?" The Duke of Xifeng, the Duke of Beihai and several other top nobles beside him all stared at him.

In their capacity, they can only know "part of the real reason"?

The father and son of the witus, what did they do?

The Duke of zephyr looked up and down seriously, carefully, and even harshly at the three hesses who had knelt down on one knee before Martha's death.

Their eyes quickly moved away from the round Joe.

Well, a little major is still of this size I don't think he's going to make too much credit.

And Hessian Hessen, who had just arrived in DIDU and was a typical and pure hillbilly Junker before, obviously would not make too amazing contributions.

So, only gorkin?

Major general of the Imperial Army in his twenties, and he has just returned from the front line of the lane corridor.

What did he do?

What kind of earth shaking contribution will make the whole witu family rise to the top of the Empire?

The same whispers rang out in the crowd inside and outside the hall.

George's eyes were more intense, and he swept the radiant faces of Hessian, gorkin and Joe seriously and coldly.

"Make a thorough investigation and send out all our hands in the dren empire Wake up all those dark lines that have accumulated for years I must know what they have done. "

There was a little uneasiness in George's heart.

The style of the Durham empire was extremely rigid, conservative, mechanical and rigid, which was true in all aspects of the Empire.

Without enough merit, no one can ascend the high position without reason.

One Duke, two marquis.

This means that the vittorians did make a great contribution to the value of the Durham empire.

What they did made a great contribution to the Dylan empire. There is no doubt that what they did posed a great threat to other countries.

In particular, there is no news at all.

There's no clue.

Why do they Given such a reward?

Gorkin killed all those wolf cubs on the plateau?

You're kidding!impossible!

So what did they do?

George was uneasy.

His body was even a little shivering.

Like George, all the ambassadors present thought of going together.

Even Barbara, who was thick and straight, was staring at Hessian and his son, who were wearing ribbons and badges.

"Not at all. They have dug up Dug up That treasure, isn't it

"But it can't be so fast And, even Just reward the fat man. Why Why, a family of three, all All of them... "

Martha XIII himself handed Hessen a three foot scepter, which was made of iron gray metal, wrapped with a ferocious Hydra relief, with ruby inlaid in its eyes and flashing blood light.

"Duke Hessen, according to the aristocratic code of the Empire, you can canonize a certain number of nobles directly under the central government as family ministers in your own territory..." The voice of Mata XIII spread throughout the hall and through most of the Hydra palace.
