Global Lords: I Have Information System-Chapter 509 - 368: Generous Bezos, Lion Knight Order Ruins

After a moment of silence, Zong Shen slowly began to speak.

"My lord, you are right."

"It truly takes considerable time and effort to develop a Bang City."

"But having a goal is necessary; what if it is achieved?"

He started to probe Baron Bezos's attitude.

For some reason, Baron Bezos's smile never faded upon hearing his ambition to develop a Bang City.

After chatting for a while, Baron Bezos and Zong Shen became familiar with each other.

He emerged from the previous nostalgia and sadness.

Now, he looked at Zong Shen like a promising junior.

"Dear Zong Shen, I am delighted you think this way."

"Even though you are not a noble of the kingdom."

"But I see many qualities in you that today's young nobles lack."

"As your friend, I will make one promise."

"That is, Boss Bang is willing to fully assist in your development!"

"And provide some conveniences within my authority for you."

"However, I must remind you to gain the kingdom's conferment of nobility before becoming a Bang City."

Baron Bezos said earnestly.

His words were similar to what Hoy had mentioned in the territory.

Without a noble title, there's no qualification to govern a Bang City.

Even if the territory is developed to the Bang City Level, it will face interference from local royal families.

If the stance is too strong, it could even lead to a siege by kingdom forces.

After all, this is within the kingdom's territory; if it comes down to a standoff, the territory may face not only a Bang City or a Giant City, but the entire kingdom's crusade.

Unless Zong Shen can quickly amass the power to contend with the kingdom.

The best strategy is still to obtain a noble title and buy time for development.

Zong Shen only needs six months to a year of stable time, and at the current development pace, it would be enough for him to gain significant strength.

As a lord, especially one with extraordinary talents, once the overall development rhythm is on track, Zong Shen's territory will undoubtedly soar rapidly.

The primary challenge is establishing a foundational base for the territory, which is also the challenge all lords face.

"Lord Bezos, I want to know how one can become a kingdom-conferred noble?"

Zong Shen humbly inquired. After all, Baron Bezos hailed from an old royal family.

Although his noble title could not be further advanced due to youthful recklessness, he surely knows much about nobility.

It's no surprise to Baron Bezos that Zong Shen posed this question.

He pondered for a moment, seemingly organizing the information he knew.

After half a minute, he slowly began to speak.

"The simplest way for a commoner to become a noble is to accumulate military achievements."

"Although the foundation of military achievement nobles is shallow, under kingdom law, they are equal to hereditary and authorized nobles."

"Currently, there are few wars around the kingdom."

"But I've heard there are some conflicts on the southern border of the kingdom."

"A dragon called the Black-winged Tyrant, along with its follower army, is trying to occupy the Hanlu Forest in the south of the empire."

"But unfortunately, there are three border fortresses near there, garrisoned by the third and fifth legions of the kingdom's Dragon Descendant Legion."

"However, this can only be considered a small-scale war."

"It is expected to conclude within three months."

"The kingdom's current opulence has reached a terrifying level."

"For instance, take Boss Bang, even excluding my private wealth, just the warehouse of Bang City stores enough grain to feed a million people for six months..."

At this point, Baron Bezos paused proudly.

The pause was perfectly timed, just before revealing some more sensitive information.

For instance, the fiscal revenue of Bang City.

Previously, Hoy had mentioned when he was in Gothic Castle that the taxes from seven villages alone amounted to over two hundred thousand Mainland Continent Universal Dinars annually.

This doesn't include the income from factories and caravans within the castle.

While Gothic Castle is a fortress-type Bang City, its openness and development are not as extensive as a semi-open Bang City like Boss Bang.

Under Boss Bang, there are at least 20-25 villages, and along the commercial dirt road that Zong Shen traveled, there are seven or eight villages.

Therefore, Boss Bang's affluence is imaginable.

Considering these economic and material indicators, it's indeed quite challenging to elevate a settlement to a Bang City.

This is the so-called heritage, this is the so-called foundation.

This morbid opulence allows these kingdom nobles to live debauched and indulgent lives.

Even descendants of new nobles like Evans live similarly.

After a brief pause, Baron Bezos continued.

"Military achievement nobles are also called emerging nobles."

"Apart from gaining military achievements, there's another way."

"That is to take your warriors to pledge allegiance to counts or marquises in Giant City."

"Or join a royal family, as long as your strength is sufficient, and your bargaining chips are substantial, you can still obtain a noble title."

Upon hearing Baron Bezos's words, Zong Shen couldn't help but furrow his brows.

These paths are all difficult, essentially blocking the channels for commoners to ascend to nobility.

These indigenous forces, although appearing affluent, are like fat pigs raised for lords.

In fact, they are a test for the development of lords.

A grand mountain resting over the heads of lords.

Of course, aside from the approaches mentioned by Baron Bezos, there are many other unorthodox ways.
