The Northwest Prefecture City is located at the junction of Qingzhou, Huangzhou and Yuzhou.

After arriving at the government office, Chen Yu summoned everyone to the government office, said a few simple words, and then let the others return to their posts.

"Marty, when will you choose a fief?" Ma Wencai asked with a smile. In just a few months, he was promoted from the lord of Jinghe County to the lord of Northwest Prefecture, and his official position has also changed from the lord of the lord of the lord of the lord of the lord of the lord of the lord of the lord of the lord of the lord of the lord of the lord of the lord of the

"Yes, Marquis, it's better to choose the fief as soon as possible." Zhao Yuanzhi, the fifth-rank official, smiled and agreed.

The marquis of the Great Xia Empire can obtain 150,000 acres of fiefdom, which is enough for 100 square kilometers.

The fiefdom seems to be very large, just ten kilometers away, and its area is equivalent to a small town on the side of Sky Blue Star.

The duke's fiefdom is three times that of the marquis, and the king's fiefdom is three times that of the duke.

Since the establishment of the Great Xia Empire, it has been more than a thousand years. Not a royal prince, totaling nine kings, more than thirty dukes and more than one hundred marquises.

The titles are divided into hereditary and non-hereditary, and the hereditary is divided into hereditary generation, hereditary three generations, hereditary nine generations, and permanent hereditary that have never been enthroned.

To this day, the Great Xia Empire has only two princes, none of them have a different surname, only three dukes, and only five marquises.

"Yeah." Chen Yu responded. He also wanted to choose the fiefdom early, build a manor with beautiful scenery, and then build the plane light door. When he has time, he can bring his family here to travel.

"Mr. Marquis, there is a mountain of clouds and mists more than thirty miles away from the palace city, with a natural lake on it..." said Ma Wencai.

The spiritual sense spread out. After looking at the situation in Yunwu Mountain, Chen Yu said, "Take out the map."

Ma Wencai nodded and quickly went to get a map.

"The fief of my husband is centered on Yunwu Mountain and a radius of five miles as the boundary." Chen Yu said.

"Marty, the lower lord will send someone to acquire the land in the fiefdom," said Ma Wencai.

"Acquiring at market price, I am not short of that little money." Chen Yu said with a smile.

"Yes!" Ma Wencai nodded.

There are not many residents near Yunwu Mountain, and more than 99% of the land is owned by the Daxia Empire.

After obtaining a title, if you don’t want to spend money, you can only choose the official land, otherwise you can only buy it with money.

The title is hard to obtain. Once you take it skillfully, you will lose the title if you are not careful and even get a prison sentence.

"Mr. Marquis, when will you recruit private soldiers?" Zhao Zhiyuan asked.

"Tomorrow morning, I will recruit soldiers outside the government office. The age is fifteen to thirty, and the monthly salary is at least two taels." Chen Yu said.

"Yes!" Zhao Zhiyuan nodded and responded.

"By the way, get the soap and perfume as soon as possible." Chen Yu said.

"Marty, can we still do grenades and mines?" Zhao Zhiyuan asked.

"The right to make grenades and mines has been taken away by His Majesty." Chen Yu said.

"Marty, potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes, can you plant them now?" Zhao Zhiyuan asked again.

"The potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes used to be grown now. I got a new batch of corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes. I can grow them now, but it will take a while to deliver them." Chen Yu said casually.

Ordinary people can tinker with off-season vegetables. With his current strength, it is as easy to get some off-season food as if he was taking a sack.

"Mr. Marquis, in this way, can potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes be harvested twice a year?" Zhao Zhiyuan asked excitedly.

"In fact, in some places, potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes can be harvested three or four times a year." Chen Yu said.

The next morning, tens of thousands of teenagers stood noisily outside the government office.

The Northwest Marquis recruited private soldiers, with at least two taels of silver per month. Those who received the news were moved by it.

There are people in the court who are easy to do, and the third-rank official in front of the prime minister.

Some people come for a monthly salary of two taels of silver, while others come for additional benefits.

Becoming a private soldier of the Northwest Marquis, not only will he receive two taels of silver a month, but his family will also benefit from it.

In the Northwest Prefecture, who dares to bully the family of the Marquis?

"The Marquis is here!" Ma Wencai shouted loudly.

The scene was quiet, and everyone looked respectful and shouted with a loud voice: "I have met the Marquis."

Sitting on the chair, Chen Yu used Hunyuan's eyes to start selecting private soldiers. He rejected those who were ill-behaved and removed the Eagle Guards, Wolf Guards, and spies from the left and right prime ministers and marshals.

"Your face is inconsistent with me."

"Your appearance does not meet the requirements of Benhou."

"Your face is good, the owner of the horse is so bad, please register for him."

"Marty, are you?" Zhao Zhiyuan asked in confusion.

"I learned some physiognomy... Anyway, the city is safe, so why not try the physiognomy and selection of soldiers." Chen Yu said seriously.

In less than half an hour, he selected five hundred young men with excellent talent and kind character.

"You guys go back and prepare and report to the government office tomorrow." Chen Yu said.

"Yes, Marquis." Five hundred teenagers responded in unison.

After returning to the government office and handling some official duties, Chen Yu pretended to go to the fiefdom to check the situation.

When choosing a fiefdom, he used his spiritual sense to look at the fiefdom. He knew better than anyone else about the situation.

Building a manor and painting drawings all require on-site inspections. If you have never been to the fiefdom, you will get the drawings out. It would be strange if you don’t be suspected!

"The bottom and surroundings of this lake are stones, the water is clear and clean, and there is also a spring, a pure natural swimming pool."

"Planting dozens of top-quality tea trees on the top of the mountain and planting various flowers is simply a holy land on earth."

"Plant hundreds of different types of fruit trees, build a stone road, and set up several pavilions..."

After thinking about the layout of Yunwu Mountain, Chen Yu quickly walked down the mountain and his spiritual sense swept a thousand miles away.

"I am now the Marquis of the Northwest, and I am the prefect of the Northwest Prefecture, a cement factory, a brick factory, a gravel factory... a steel factory can be built."

After riding a horse back to the government office, Chen Yu took out the map and drew out the planning of the fief.

In the next few days, he took Ma Wencai, Zhao Zhiyuan and others, as well as five foreign girls to go out to the city to inspect the people's situation.

"Master, the stone is brown, this is an iron ore." Ma Li said.

"Master, we can build a steel mill here," said Maya.

"Yes." Chen Yu nodded laughingly.

"Coal, lord, this is an open-pit coal mine," Anne said.

"Coal, what is coal?" Chen Yu asked pretended to be ignorant.

"A thing that has a high calorie." Anne explained.

"Oh." Chen Yu replied.

"Master, with coal, we can make steel..." Annie said eloquently.

"Coal must be mined." Chen Yu said.

"Master, these yellow sand..." Anna said.

"Build a sand factory here." Chen Yu said.

Seeing that Annie and the others were so knowledgeable, Zhao Zhiyuan and Ma Wencai looked envious and decided to buy a few foreign slaves as well.

"It's terrible to be uneducated. They were so fooled easily." Chen Yu smiled in his heart.

Everyone returned to the city, and Ma Wencai dealt with the land issues of the coal mine, iron ore... brick and tile factory.

Zhao Zhiyuan was in charge of the government office and reviewed the official documents sent by various prefectures and counties.
