“Commoners can get a noble title?”
In Zhu Family Village, Zhu Wuliu looked up and asked the reporter who had come to read the daily news.
“Yes,” the man replied with excitement. “The newspaper clearly says that as long as someone makes a major contribution to Qingzhou, they can receive a noble title. And along with the title comes heritable land. Even the lowest-ranked baron gets 300 mu of land that can’t be reclaimed by the government. That land will be theirs, passed down through generations. It’s practically private territory.”
The one reading the news was Jiang the Reporter, who visited the village regularly. When he read this news today, his blood was boiling with excitement. He even had the urge to do something great.
This title system was just too tempting. Gaining a title didn’t only mean glory—it meant a wealthy life.
Zhu Wuliu was already drooling. The road construction he had contracted in Qingzhou was nearly finished, so he had free time to come and listen to the news today.
“Reporter Jiang, go on. How can regular people like us get a title?” Zhu Wuliu asked eagerly.
“Well, it’s not that easy,” Jiang the Reporter replied with a grin. “For example, take you, Zhu Wuliu—unless you can raise five thousand strong horses, then you might earn the title of county baron.”
“Five thousand?!” Zhu Wuliu stuck out his tongue. “Qingzhou’s policy says one horse per household is enough. How am I supposed to raise five thousand?”
“That’s why it has to be a major contribution,” Jiang laughed. “You think picking up a random cow pat on the side of the road is enough to get a noble title? Of course not! But I’m just using horses as an example. If raising horses is too hard, you can raise chickens or ducks instead.”
