840: C840 Lord of the Western Merchants

C840 Lord of the Western Merchants

Therefore, in the Xia Country, the bestowed land was the highest level of rewards.

Only those above the noble king level would have the right to claim the land.

However, Wang Xiaojian was not stunned about the matter of the feudal fiefdom.

Rather, it was the words "West of Shangzhou"!

The name West of Shangzhou, from the sound of it, was precisely the name of the province.

However, even with Wang Xiaojian's understanding of Xia Country, he had actually never heard of it.

Wang Xiaojian did not accept the decree immediately. Instead, he looked at the Old Eunuch Lin Wen Que and asked in confusion: "Eunuch Lin, where is this West of Shangzhou?"

It would be against the rules if he did not receive the empress's decree immediately.

However, due to Wang Xiaojian's lofty status, the Old Eunuch did not blame him.

And with Wang Xiaojian's identity, he didn't dare to blame him.

Holding the imperial edict, he explained to Wang Xiaojian: "Country Guardian Duke, after you reclaimed your Shangzhou, Her Majesty used Dashang River as the boundary and divided the Shangzhou into the Eastern Shangzhou, as well as the West of Shangzhou. To the east of the Dashang River, go to the western pass of my original Xia Country, and serve as the eastern Shangzhou. "

"To the west of the Dashang River, to the west of the original Shang Country, is the West of Shangzhou! Currently, this West of Shangzhou was the feudal fiefdom of the Country Guardian Duke. Country Guardian Duke will be in charge of everything in the land. "

The Old Eunuch smiled, causing Wang Xiaojian's body to tremble.

Once he reached the Martial Emperor Stage Realm, Wang Xiaojian's perspective and personality could no longer be compared to before.

However, after hearing Old Eunuch's explanation, his handsome face still revealed a shocked expression.

If not for the fact that the Old Eunuch Lin Que delivered the imperial edict, he would have said it himself.

He absolutely did not believe that it was such a reward.

Wang Xiaojian helped Ying Xiya to eliminate the Shang Country and turn it into a Xia Country.

Yet Ying Xiya actually gave half of her "Shangzhou" to him!

No.

More than half.

Because, Wang Xiaojian knew clearly, there were a total of twenty-three counties in Shangzhou.

To the west of the Dashang River, there were a total of twelve.

From the size of the area, the western part of the Dashang River was also a lot larger than the eastern part of the Dashang River.

Its West of Shangzhou was even a bit larger than its original one.

Yet the empress gave him such a large piece of land to make him the lord of the fief.

From then on, he would control the life and death of the West of Shangzhou. He could even establish a law and order that was unique to the West of Shangzhou, and could legally establish a private army.

How much trust did she have to give him that much?

Wang Xiaojian muttered to himself.

"Chia, my wife, you really trust me. You gave me such a large feudal fiefdom. This feudal fiefdom, was one third of the territory of the current Xia Country. If I have any ulterior motives, I can stand as a nation on my own in the West of Shangzhou! "

Wang Xiaojian knew that Ying Xiya truly loved him; otherwise, he would not have trusted him this much.

If not for this reason, Ying Xiya would never have given such a large feudal fiefdom to a noble of the opposite sex.

Because the danger was too great.

Of course, Wang Xiaojian wouldn't have any ulterior motives.

After all, Empress Ying Xiya was his woman.

Speaking of which, this Xia Country was also more or less his.

After all, if he and Ying Xiya were to have children in the future, they would be princesses and princes of the Xia Country.

If Ying Xiya were to abdicate one day.

The new Emperor who ascended the throne would definitely be his son.

However, Wang Xiaojian didn't think too far about it.

After all, he was still young.

Furthermore, he truly loved Ying Xiya.

He thought about the unified Xia Country, partly for the main mission, and partly for Ying Xiya.

The Old Eunuch, Eunuch Lin smiled.

He passed the imperial edict and a medallion to Wang Xiaojian, and said: "Country Guardian Duke, this is the state order for the West of Shangzhou. From then on, this West of Shangzhou will be the feudal fiefdom of the Country Guardian Duke. "

The State Medallion was a brand-new piece of jade card that had just been created. The words "Western Merchant" were written in ancient characters of Xia Country.

Wang Xiaojian received the imperial edict and the state order, smiled slightly, and said: Thank you, Eunuch Lin.

Wang Xiaojian met many vile eunuchs, there was also a monstrous enmity between him and the Mansion of Eastern Deport Guard back then.

However, the Old Eunuch in front of him was not someone from the Mansion of Eastern Deport Guard.

Although Wang Xiaojian did not like eunuchs, he did not look down on this Eunuch Lin who was handicapped.

Old Eunuch had a smile on his face as he cupped his fists towards Wang Xiaojian and said, "Country Guardian Duke, there is no need. This humble one still needs to return to report using Tianyang City, so this is how I shall return. "

"In the future, when Country Guardian Duke returns to the Tianyang City, I will come back to pay my respects to Country Guardian Duke."

Wang Xiaojian laughed and said: "Alright, then I won't keep you any longer, take care, Young Master."

Old Eunuch Lin Que gave Wang Xiaojian a cupped fist before mounting his horse and returning to report.

The imperial guards that had escorted him here also left.

However, King of Different Family Name Zhao Kuang, who came with the Old Eunuch did not leave.

He, Chu Dongliu and a few other generals stepped forward together to congratulate Wang Xiaojian.

The Xia Country had created the title of Duke.

However, for hundreds of years, no one had ever obtained such a high title.

Wang Xiaojian was the first one.

This was a joyous event.2

They were all happy for Wang Xiaojian.

As for the feudal fiefdom of the West of Shangzhou, other than envy, there was also envy.

They also understood that, other than Wang Xiaojian who had made unparalleled achievements again and again, it was impossible for a second person from this Xia Country to obtain such honor.

Wang Xiaojian was not too humble. With a smile on his face, he accepted the congratulatory words from Zhao Kuang, Chu Dongliu and the other generals one by one.

He then turned to Chu Dongliu and smiled, "Prince Chu, so this is the empress's reward. However, you kept me in the dark for a long time. "

Back then, when Chu Dongliu came to the Northern Frontier Mountain Pass, Wang Xiaojian had asked Chu Dongliu about the empress's reward.

But Chu Dongliu kept him in suspense and did not tell him.

He said that Wang Xiaojian would naturally find out when the imperial edict arrived.

Chu Dongliu laughed awkwardly, and said: "Country Guardian Duke, I am not intentionally hiding this from you. This humble one indeed does not dare to reveal the decree of the Her Majesty ahead of time. However, now that Country Guardian Duke has received the imperial edict, I am willing to give myself three cups of wine. "

Wang Xiaojian laughed loudly, "Your Highness, I was waiting for you to say that. However, three cups are too little.

"Alright. "Haha."

In front of the military camp, everyone was laughing heartily.

Chu Dongliu said he would punish himself with three cups of wine.

However, now was not the time to punish Chu Dongliu for drinking.

Wang Xiaojian had just received the royal decree to become the lord of West of Shangzhou, which was equivalent to another matter.

In the future, he still had to take care of West of Shangzhou.

The responsibility of protecting the Xia Country's western gate also fell onto him.

Before going to carry out Zhuge Liang's plan, Wang Xiaojian had to make proper arrangements regarding the West of Shangzhou.

But luckily, he had help.

Sunn Bin and Zhao Yun who were left behind in Shangzhou were the best candidates.

Wang Xiaojian believed that with Sunn Bin's knowledge, his martial arts would definitely be able to help him take care of his West of Shangzhou.

However, Wang Xiaojian didn't immediately take out his sound-transmissing jade chip and contact Sunn Bin and Zhao Yun.

At this time, he couldn't help but think of the Eastern Shangzhou.

Currently, the West of Shangzhou had become his fiefdom, and he didn't know what the situation in the Eastern Shangzhou was.

Wang Xiaojian thought for a while, then said to Chu Dongliu: "Prince Chu, do you know what the current situation is like in the Eastern Shangzhou?
