The Dion Empire was ruined because of the many privileged nobles who devoured the country's capital and even placed their children in the government's administrative departments, affecting the country's operations. In addition to affecting the effectiveness of the government, it also caused internal corruption.
To this end, Long Fei also established some rules. If the children of nobles want to work in the government administrative department, they must undergo more assessments than ordinary people. After multiple confirmations that there are no problems, they will be arranged to start from the bottom.
Li Xiucheng said: "Lao Fei, the merit list will be completed in a few days."
"Well, rewards should be given according to merit, and everyone should get a share."
…
On October 18, 126th year of the first year of the universe, Long Fei held a banquet in the palace of the Tianyi Empire. In addition to rewarding those who had made contributions, he also gave rewards according to their merits.
Many people who have made military achievements did not receive the third-class medal of honor, but received related rewards.
Those with third-class military merit or above and below first-class military merit will be awarded first-class civilians, and nearly 10% of first-class civilians will be awarded the title of baron.
Those who have made meritorious contributions by receiving the Special Military Medal, the Red Leaf Medal, the Purple Orchid Medal, etc., will be given the status of Special Citizens.
Among those who received the special military medal, 30% were awarded the title of baron and 10% were awarded the title of viscount.
All the members of the Red Leaf Medal were awarded the title of earl, and each earl was given a fiefdom, including Dr. Cordelia.
As a senior researcher of the Skywing Mercenary Corps, Dr. Cordelia has improved countless machines, making the Black Rabbit Corps more powerful on many battlefields. It can be said that she has made many contributions and achievements.
Therefore, Dr. Cordelia is one of the few scientists who received the Red Leaf Medal, fiefdom and earl status.
Currently, those who can obtain the status of earl, viscount, and baron, the lowest rank in the Tianyi Mercenary Corps is captain, and the highest rank is mostly colonel.
All those who received the Purple Orchid Medal were given the title of marquis and fiefdoms. Except for Salamanda, all the commanders of Long Fei's direct troops were given the title of marquis.
The lowest military rank required to obtain the title of Marquis is colonel, and the highest is major general.
Finally, there is the White Sword Medal, which was only awarded to two people, one is Salamander and the other is Shrek, because they made the greatest contribution.
Both of them were given the status of duke. Salamanda's fiefdom was the capital of the former Kingdom of Longsog and the surrounding towns. The former Royal Palace of the Kingdom of Longsog served as Salamanda's private residence. All of Salamanda's descendants had the right of inheritance. In the future, whether to keep, sell or rent it out would all be decided by Salamanda.
The fiefdom that Duke Shrek received was the former capital of the Rhine Kingdom and the nearby towns. The former presidential palace was Duke Shrek's private residence. How to deal with the private residence was decided by Duke Shrek himself.
In addition to receiving the due rewards, Duke Shrek was also appointed by Long Fei as the Minister of Military Affairs and Commander-in-Chief of the Tianyi Empire.
Duke Shrek's original status in the Sky Wing Mercenary Group has been abolished.
Duke Shrek did not have any protest to such an arrangement. He was very satisfied with his current status. In the Tianyi Empire, he was almost second only to the emperor.
Salamanda serves as Long Fei's Minister of Justice.
The Tianyi Empire Long Fei did not establish the position of prime minister, and all ministers of various departments were responsible to the emperor.
Li Xiucheng served as the Minister of the Interior of the Tianyi Empire.
The eight direct-affiliated units of the Tianyi Mercenary Group are now all transferred to serve as direct-affiliated units of the Emperor of the Tianyi Empire.
Originally, the Sword and Shield Force was in charge of the reward and punishment operations of the Skywing Mercenary Group, but now it has been handed over to the Black Rabbit Force for processing.
In addition to being the emperor of the Tianyi Empire, Long Fei is also the chairman of the Tianyi Group.
At present, part of the dark side forces of the Tianyi Mercenary Corps have been transferred to the Tianyi Empire as a secret organization of the emperor's troops, while the dark side forces that remain in the Tianyi Mercenary Corps will continue their duties.
In addition to being the leader of the Tekkadan, Anton also serves as the leader of the Imperial Palace Guard.
Long Fei also made arrangements and appointments for ministers from other departments.
It can be said that the cabinet of the Tianyi Empire has been arranged by Long Fei.
All Tianyi mercenaries who participated in the attack on the Mars circle received corresponding rewards and subsidies.
Many Tianyi mercenaries who did not participate in the attack on the Mars circle now regretted very much why they did not participate in the attack on the Mars circle.
Maybe now they may be rewarded as nobles based on their merits.
During the banquet, Long Fei sat on the throne and looked at all the heroes below. Some of them got drunk and made trouble, which made Long Fei frown.
Salamanda was watching the banquet at the scene, and then looked at Long Fei's expression. Now it was a celebratory banquet in the palace banquet hall, and those nobles who were heroes could not be as happy and drunk as the Tianyi Mercenaries did in the past.
As a country, if we act like this, we will lose face for the country.
And there are some reporters filming. If it gets spread to the whole world, Long Fei will be embarrassed.
After the celebration banquet, many drunken heroes had to be carried out by palace staff and handed over to their drivers to be taken out of the palace.
Salamanda personally discussed with Long Fei that in the future, whether it was at court or at a celebration banquet, there must be pomp, order and rules.
Otherwise, there will be jokes in the future like what happened at today's celebration party.
"Okay, you are in charge of arranging this matter."
For this purpose, Salamanda even consulted with the former court ceremonial officer of the Dion Empire and simplified the originally rather cumbersome ceremony, order and rules.
Then I did two weeks of simulation and practice.
In addition to dealing with his original job and the work of the legal department, Salamander is now also dealing with the palace rules.
The degree of simplification is even simpler than when he was in the Kingdom of Longsog. Of course, this is also what Long Fei said, keep everything simple.
It's the emperor's pomp and circumstance, and basic etiquette is enough.
Salamander was supervising the simulated training when the palace steward, a female official in a black dress, came and saluted at a 90-degree angle with her right hand on her chest. She said, "Your Excellency the Duke of Salamander, His Majesty is holding a banquet today to entertain you and the other seven commanders of the direct troops."
"Okay, I understand."
In the evening, when Salamanda was on his way to the banquet hall opened by Long Fei, he found that more than half of the palace staff, whether guards, palace maids or others, were members of the Tianyi Mercenary Group. The remaining staff were mainly from ordinary families and had no aristocratic status after investigation.
All the replaced palace staff were transferred to other departments or other places.
At this moment, some designs inside the Tianyi Palace, such as secret passages and alleys, have also been modified after being confirmed by Fang.
Long Fei handed this matter over to Li Xiucheng and Anton to handle.
On the way, we also met Li Xiucheng who was walking and listening to the phone. Li Xiucheng was frowning and talking to the person on the phone.
"When our family had no status, my father asked you for some job, but you refused and even humiliated him. Now that I have a successful career, you come to me and beg me for a position. You are really shameless!"
The person on the phone seemed not to notice Li Xiucheng's unhappy tone: "Xiaocheng, don't worry about the past. You are in a high position now, so please be magnanimous. There are so many children in the family, so please help them a little and promote them."
"Hmph, there's a saying that goes, yesterday you ignored me, but today I've made you out of reach. Now I'm a marquis, I have fiefdoms and certain rights, even if you want to send some of your children to me and let them get Tianyi Empire identity cards, I only need to say a word, or even arrange jobs for them, I only need to move a finger, but what does this have to do with you, don't bother me if you have nothing to do." Li Xiucheng hung up the phone after he finished speaking, just in time to see Salamanda and the other person saying hello.
"Why is it that someone from your family is begging you?"
"That's right. Now that I'm successful in my career, they come to me to try to establish a relationship with me. They don't want to look down on my family in the past."
"Many people are like this, they flatter those who are superior and trample on those who are inferior. By the way, don't you plan to bring your parents over?"
"Yes, I asked Sister Aoi to bring my parents and my younger brothers and sisters over."
"I've never heard you tell me you have brothers and sisters." Salamander said with some surprise.
Li Xiucheng shrugged and said half-jokingly: "If you didn't have a lover, I would like to introduce my sister to you."
"You want to be my uncle."
The two of them talked and laughed as they walked.
Come to the imperial dining hall reserved for the emperor.
Long Fei and the heads of the eight directly affiliated troops sat around a huge hot pot (there was also a grill for barbecuing) with countless hot pot ingredients and condiments.
The palace housekeeper observed the eating habits of the new emperor of the new dynasty and found that this emperor was different from Fadis. He did not like red tape, and did not like to have dozens of delicacies for every meal. He only wanted three dishes and one soup like ordinary people, and he could even eat the same meals as their palace staff.
It can be seen that this emperor is completely different from Faddis.
Looking at the huge hot pot in front of him, Fadis never ate such food before, and never sat around to eat hot pot and barbecue with his subjects or even the leaders of the Knights Templar.
When Fadis entertained his ministers for a banquet, there would always be a long table, and the palace maids would cut the delicacies from land and sea themselves and place them in front of the tables.
