Asking for a monthly ticket.
This was an astronomical figure. Twenty-eight million merit points were required to be promoted to a first-rank Earl. One could imagine how prestigious the position of Earl was. If one wanted to be promoted, one would need sufficient merit points. It represented one's status and identity. The officials in the main hall were shaken, inwardly shocked.
The title of Earl of Da Yi was definitely not a cheap reward.
Yi Tian Xing continued, "Only those who have contributed to the military can be conferred the title of marquis. The title of marquis requires 30 million merit points (military merit) to be conferred the title of marquis. Promotion to rank 8 requires an additional 500,000 merit points. A rank one Marquis requires 157.5 million contribution points. "
"To be conferred the title of Duke requires 160 million merit points. To be promoted to rank 8 requires one million merit points. To be conferred the title of Duke, one billion merit points. To be conferred the title of Duke, one billion five hundred and sixty-seven million merit points."
"As for the title of King, the title of King requires two billion Merit Points. Promotion to Rank Eight requires five million Merit Points. Promotion to Rank One King requires 4.275 billion Merit Points."
"Hiss!"
Even though the officials had strong mental fortitude, they could not help but gasp when they heard this. The higher the rank, the more merit points were required. Moreover, the merit points required to be made a marquis were all military contributions. Immediately being made a marquis was not an empty promise.
But at the same time, this could not stop the officials in the hall from burning with passion.
Although there were many military contributions, this was a ladder that they could see. As long as they had enough merit points, and were willing to pay the price, they could be made a marquis, or even a king. This was a direct message to everyone that as long as they had the ability and made meritorious contributions, the title of Duke or Marquis would be waiting for them. The title of Prince was not a dream. Dreams were unattainable, but now they could touch it.
This was like drawing a huge, delicious cake in front of them. So that everyone could see it.
No one would be able to resist such a temptation.
Even the officials were tempted, let alone the people of Da Yi. Even those outside of Da Yi would be even more tempted. Even if the number of merit points required was astronomical, they could still see it. There was still hope. They did not even know the specific threshold.
In comparison, countless people would rather see that threshold.
Just like now, the ministers might not be able to be conferred the title of Duke or King yet, but as Da Yi continued to expand and conquer other domains, there would eventually be opportunities for them to make contributions. There was no need to worry about wars in the army.
"Due to the fact that all of you are ministers who have been with me since the founding of this kingdom, the title of nobility does not require your contributions. Just take it as a token of my sincerity. I have fulfilled the relationship between you and me. "
Yi Tianxing smiled and said.
This time could be considered a special case. The people here were all old ministers who had followed him for decades. If they were in the secular world, that would be considered a lifetime. He had to express his gratitude no matter what. The conferment of nobility did not require any merit. This was a true bestowal to them. Since the founding of Da Yi, this would probably be the only time. In the future, he could be conferred a noble title, but he would need to have enough merits to obtain it.
"Thank you, Holy King."
The officials bowed to express their gratitude, feeling extremely touched.
"I hereby confer upon Huang Chengyan the title of Count of the First Rank, and bestow upon him a Count's seal."
Patriarch Sunflower continued to read out the imperial edict. This time, it was a true conferment. As the edict descended, the Noble Investiture List appeared in midair. Light swirled around the list, and Huang Chengyan's name appeared. Next, a copper seal descended from the sky. It appeared in Huang Chengyan's hand. The seal was about the size of an egg, and was perfect to play with. Furthermore, it had the divine ability to resize at will.
Huang Chengyan accepted it, and it began to shrink until it looked like a small jade pendant, which he clipped to his waist as an accessory. This accessory was a symbol of his status when he walked about in the outside world.
It was a symbol of nobility.
Barons had a wooden seal, viscounts had an iron seal, earls had a copper seal, marquises had a silver seal, and dukes had a gold seal. Princes had a jade seal. This represented a difference in status. This point was destined to sweep through the Great Yi in the future.
He was sought after by countless people.
"I hereby confer upon Yang Ye the title of Marquis of the Third Rank, and bestow upon him a Marquis' seal."
There was a flash of light, and a silver seal appeared in Yang Ye's hand. It transformed into a jade pendant, which he clipped to his waist. It could be seen that his hands were trembling slightly. He had been conferred a marquis. He really had been conferred a marquis. The day would come when the Yang Clan would become a marquis clan.
This feeling gave him the feeling that even if Yi Tian Xing asked him to die, he would immediately agree and choose to die without any hesitation.
A warrior would die for his bosom friends!!
The officials in the hall were all shaken.
Although he was only a third rank marquis, he was still a marquis. This was a marquis' title! Furthermore, he could use his meritorious service to rise through the ranks. As long as his meritorious service continued, he could even maintain his marquis title for generations to come. It was an incredible honor.
"General Yang! General Yang! The Yang Clan!"
In the Great Yi, countless people revealed expressions of yearning and envy, but there was no jealousy. Being conferred the title of Marquis was what Yang Ye deserved. He had followed Yi Tianxing and risen from humble beginnings. He had killed his way out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. He was immediately conferred a marquis. He was worthy of the title of marquis.
"He's really conferred a marquis. This is the Holy King Yi's spirit and reputation. When he said he would be conferred a marquis, he really did it. "
The experts among the commoners sighed with envy.
"I want to join the army too. Da Yi has great benefits. After serving as a reserve soldier, I can become an official soldier. If I have the chance to go to the battlefield, I can earn meritorious service. Even if I don't immediately become a marquis, I can still become a baron or a viscount. "
"Men should be brave enough to be the first. Work hard in cultivation, join the army, and earn meritorious service for the country. "
Countless young men secretly made up their minds. Their desire for a marquis title was naturally incomparably strong. Once they became a marquis, their status would change, and they would be envied by countless people. This was status and honor.
In the Army Soul Battle Realm, the eyes of countless soldiers burned with passion.
Being conferred a marquis title was not a dream. They could also be conferred a marquis title.
Although they were loyal to Da Yi and Yi Tianxing, if they could gain more honor, they would have the opportunity to benefit their families and descendants. That would be the glory of a lifetime.
"I must earn more meritorious service the next time I go to war."
Countless soldiers made up their minds.
"Qi Jiguang shall be conferred the title of a marquis of the fourth rank and shall be granted the marquis seal."
The imperial edicts continued to be read out, and so did the conferring.
One marquis after another rang out. These marquis were all commanders of the army. The commanders who had entered the Demon-God Battlefield and fought on Evernight Continent would be conferred the titles of marquis of the fourth rank, fifth rank, and ninth rank according to their contributions.
This was an honor that belonged to the generals of the army.
Zhuge Liang was also conferred the title of marquis of the first rank, Marquis Wu.
Those who reached the first rank would be conferred a title. Those below the first rank wouldn't be conferred. Zhuge Liang had been in charge of the council pavilion all these years and had managed it well. A marquis title wasn't an exaggeration at all, and he was completely worthy of it.
Jia Xu was conferred the title of marquis of the first rank, Marquis Zhi.
The number of marquises conferred this time was fairly shocking.
Those who received the conferment were all beaming with joy. This kind of happiness couldn't be concealed at all.
"Da Yi has been conferred the title of marquis. From now on, the hearts of all the experts in the world belong to Da Yi. How can those talented people in the wilderness not risk their lives to serve him?"
Many of the powerhouses in Da Yi sighed inwardly. This move was truly brilliant.
Cultivators weren't truly pure and indifferent to fame and fortune. They just didn't care about it. If cultivators were placed in the secular world, they naturally wouldn't be interested in worldly things. But Da Yi wasn't an ordinary dynasty, it was a true dynasty of cultivators.
They definitely couldn't look down on the common people. There were definitely many hidden experts among them.
.....
This time, there were over a hundred conferring titles. Many hadn't been read out directly, but their names were already on the list. They had been conferred titles and conferred noble seals. Their status was confirmed without a doubt.
The court meeting thus ended.
However, there was another joyous event in Da Yi. Another son of the Holy King was born in the Holy King's palace. His mother was Gong Qianyu of the Celestial Clan. Imperial Concubine Yu had also been baptized by the heavens. She had an innate Dao Heart, which made it easier for her to become one with heaven and man. Once she cultivated, she would naturally make rapid progress. She was named Yi Yi Dao.
There was a record in the palace: Holy King's 11th son of the Holy King. Yi Yi Dao. Physique. Baptized by the heavens. She has an innate Dao Heart. She can be close to the laws of heaven and man. She can easily become one with heaven and man. Her cultivation will make rapid progress. She was born on the 16th of November in the 50th year of the Eternal Calendar. Her mother was Imperial Concubine Yu, Gong Qianyu.
After that, there was no movement from the other pregnant women in the palace. It was as if they weren't in a hurry to give birth. It was easy to imagine what he was thinking in his heart.
A few days later, the conferment of Zheng Zhilong and the others was issued.
Several pirate captains who were interested in joining the army joined the army one after another. They entered the Military Soul Battle Domain to receive new experience and began to cultivate military techniques. Yi Tianxing also promised that as long as they were really talented, they could be the vanguard when conquering other domains in the future. If they made contributions and showed their talent, they would have the opportunity to sit in one of the Rising Sun Legion and the Sea Beast Legion. Whether they could sit in the position of Legion Commander or not depended on their own ability.
Whether they could stand out.
If they couldn't, they couldn't blame others.
The most precious thing was the legendary pirate ships of these Pirate Kings. These were the real treasures.
As soon as they were brought under the control of Da Yi, skilled craftsmen of the Heavenly Craft Pavilion went to investigate and study them. They wanted to find out the mystery of these legendary pirate ships and see if they could imitate them or even absorb their essence.
Time flew.
On New Year's Eve, Da Yi once again held an immortal feast. The guests were like clouds, and the cheers were like the sea. Singing and dancing celebrated peace. Da Yi completely showed its prosperity. In the sound of the bell at the end of the year, time entered the 51st year of the Eternal Calendar.
Time continued to move forward.
In Da Yi, there were changes every day, especially in the newly occupied domains. The previous month and the following month were completely earth-shaking changes. The changes inside and outside the Immortal City were equally great.
