The strongest captain: I have a pirate system

The Great Calradia Empire was created by Calradia I, and the nobles at the beginning of its establishment were all obtained through military exploits.

From the earliest defeat of the Gumer Kingdom to occupy the entire Middle-earth province, the establishment of each province has the blood and sweat of the pioneer nobles, and more unknown people have contributed.

Based on this point, a tacit understanding was formed when the empire was established: no military merit is no nobility.

If you want to become a master in this country, fine, let's exchange for military merit!

For thousands of years, countless nobles disappeared in successive waves, and more nobles emerged in the waves.

There are too few people in history who can be knighted for non-military merit, less than one in a hundred nobles.

"So, Liu Peng, your dream of becoming an aristocrat is good, but whether the aristocrats are willing to accept it is another matter."

The play has ended, but the conversation between the two is not over yet. Lance swallowed his last sip of wine and said drunkenly: "If you don't believe me, you can try it. No matter how capable you are, the nobles play with you like a dog." of."

"That's because they don't have much ability!" Liu Peng also got a little over the top, "If you don't believe me, just wait and see, there will always be times when they cry and beg me!"

"Hey, you." Lance waved his hand, "I heard that Hakura said that whoever can tie the traitor Melesle to him will directly make a viscount!"

"You don't want to do such a good thing?" Liu Peng asked with a smile, "Is that Molesle more capable than you?"

"Ham, what ability does he have? Why don't he gather a group of old earl's men to attack Hakura secretly." Lance said, "Hakura is busy dealing with the pressure from the provincial level, so he can Let Molesler take a breather, and when he is free, it can be done with a little effort."

"Wait, wait, I sound confused, who is the old earl, who is Hakura, and who is Molesler?" Liu Peng interrupted him hastily.

"The old earl is the Earl of Dibes!" Lance said, "Hakura is the younger brother of Harrigan Dibis, the Earl of Dibes. It was the old earl who was in poor health, in fact, the earl’s family was emptied, and Melesle was the earl’s new capital, so he got the news in advance, and ran away when Hakura was arresting people.”

"So that's the case. How did you know such details?" Liu Peng asked curiously.

"The guy who leaked the news is me." Lance pointed at himself, "I joined the Chamber of Commerce for Hakura, and the basic planning was also done by me, but I was kicked out when I was rewarded. I am doing a market supervision in the port of Tyra."

"It's really hard to hide, and the rabbit is dead!" Liu Peng shook his head to express his great regret.

"The description is very accurate!" Lance gave a thumbs up, "I am that bad bow and that lackey!"

"But why did you let Molesler escape?" Liu Peng asked.

"I want to make Hakula sick." Lance said with a smile, "It's impossible for the West Coast United Chamber of Commerce to unify the commercial tax. The old earl wants to protect the interests of a few relatives. It's just a daydream, hey, a daydream..."

Lance was a little drunk, Liu Peng said: "Lance, I'll take you back. In a few days, I'll help you get justice!"

"What's fair? There's no justice in this world. The God of Creation will always favor his eldest son and exile his youngest son."

Two strong imperial sailors helped him up, walked out of the theater, and sent him home according to Lance's instructions.

There was only one woman in a commoner apron at home. Seeing Lance's drunk appearance, she quickly came up to pick it up and said apologetically, "Please send my husband back."

"Small matter, I had a great conversation with Mr. Lance, please tell him, I will come to see him again tomorrow." Liu Peng smiled.

After leaving Lance's home, Liu Peng did not rush back. Instead, he ordered enough food and daily necessities on the street and paid a deposit before returning to the ship.

The next day, before Liu Peng went to look for Lance, Lance had already come to the door, so Liu Peng had no choice but to take him into the captain's room.

"I talked a lot of nonsense after drinking yesterday." Lance looked a little uneasy, "Captain Liu Peng, don't care."

"What Mr. Lance said is exactly what I need." Liu Peng poured him a glass of wine, and Lance pushed him away and shook his head, expressing that he could not drink any more.

Liu Peng didn't care, and took a sip by himself: "Can you contact Mr. Hakula for me?"

"You want to catch Molesler for him?" Lance shook his head, "Just rely on the warriors on your ship? Mr. Captain, I'm not denying their ability. Do you want to know how many people Molesler has under his command now? Absolutely not These people on your ship can handle it."

"Who said I only have these people?" Liu Peng smiled, "Just need Mr. Lance to introduce me, and then tell me the location of Molesler, and I will naturally capture Molesler for him."

"I can tell you in advance, Captain." Lance said, "Melesle is at the cliff of Repulse Bay not far from Terra Port. In fact, Hakura knew it himself, but he didn't touch him. Why? Because Melesle has the old earl's elite warriors under his command, and although Hakura has most of the earl's rights, he has no right to mobilize the garrison troops."

"Just relying on the mercenaries provided by the Chamber of Commerce, they are not so determined to attack the Repulse Bay cottage." Lance persuaded, "If it is so easy to solve, I don't know how many people in the territory will do it. Hakula needs more manpower now. when."

"Understood." Liu Peng patted him on the shoulder, "Trust me, it can be done. The only question is, is Hakula sure to give it to a Viscount?"

Lance smiled wryly: "I've already said this. No matter what you do, whether you can become a nobleman is a matter of their own words. If you don't please them, they will give you a nobleman. You must know that you are They have money in their pockets."

Perhaps because he had already said everything, Lance revealed everything about the aristocratic system to Liu Peng.

The empire is a simple king-nobility, and the king has the right to reward the land of the whole country, according to the earliest "Empire Charter" mentioned.

The king can award unowned land to meritorious deeds according to their merits, and cannot deprive others of their territories without reason, nor can others give away their own territories, but they can divide the land to their own people according to the scope of their own territories.

Simply put, the status of nobility is either given by the emperor or by nobles. This is the royal nobility and private nobility. Normally, the status of the two is the same.

But what the king gave was unclaimed land, and what the nobles gave was the territory he owned. Therefore, the number of private nobles is not very large, because the nobles who are sealed by themselves can only cut a knife from their own territory. to give.

Although Hakura holds most of the rights to the earl's territory, he has not yet inherited the earl's territory. Now that he wants to give others the title of nobility, he can only pay for it from his own pocket.

"...Hakura is a short-sighted rat, why did I think he could succeed?" Lance slapped the table and said angrily, "I also favor that pile of waste materials who can only flirt, sooner or later the Earl of Dibis over!"

Now Liu Peng knows that Hakura really can't help him become a nobleman. This is really a pity. Hearing Lance scold him like this, he probably understands how Hakura is alone.

The room fell silent, and Liu Peng suddenly asked: "The imprisoned earl, if I rescue him, can I be made a nobleman?"

"Mr. Captain, do you know where Earl Dibes is?" Lance asked.

"I don't know, but you know." Liu Peng said.

Lance was stunned for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "If it had been a few months earlier, I could really have found it for you. Now that he has moved from the manor to the castle, who knows where he put the earl?"

"Uh, what about his heir, who was also imprisoned?" Liu Peng asked.

Lance frowned: "That's for sure, the Earl's eldest son and second son are being imprisoned with the Earl."

"Oh, if his two sons are dead, will only Hakura be left to inherit the position of earl?" Liu Peng asked.

Lance replied subconsciously: "The earl still has a daughter to inherit after they die."

"As long as there are immediate relatives, right?" Liu Peng stood up excitedly, "What about her?"

"Her?" In this world, the third-person pronouns of men and women are distinguished. Lance knew what he said, and replied, "Do you want Christine to inherit the earl?"

"Yes, Christine, as long as she can inherit the title of earl, then the earl and his sons are not so important." Liu Peng clapped his hands, "Lance, you and I have the same purpose, if you can help I, I, Liu Peng, swear to God of Creation that you can get the life you want."

Lance's heart was moved, but he was not impulsive, because the man in front of him was just a boat. How could he influence the situation in the earl's territory?
Seeing the change in Lance's face, Liu Peng knew that he was a little moved by what he said, so the next step was to show his strength and impress him thoroughly.

"How about this, Lance, isn't that Molesler in Repulse Bay? You go in and find him, and then I'll send someone to beat him in. If I can't even get in Repulse Bay, you'll pretend you've never seen me." Liu Peng said.

"Why do I have to be inside, can I see your strength outside?" Lance laughed.

"No, no, I'm afraid that I'll kill Molesler by mistake, or that he will die directly. He is still useful to me," Liu Peng said.

Lance thought for a moment, then nodded with a smile: "Okay, I'll take a gamble, instead of living in a muddle, it's better to break out a road."

"Those who believe in me are not wrong." Liu Peng stood up and said, "When are you leaving?"

"Shouldn't I ask you when it starts?" Lance said, "I can do it anytime."

"That's really great. I'll have lunch with you at Repulse Bay at noon tomorrow."
