Chen Lei took a look and was very satisfied. The area marked out by the person in charge was twice as large as he had imagined. What else could he be dissatisfied with
"I am very satisfied. Is this really okay? It won't have any impact on you, right?"
Chen Lei said that he was afraid that setting aside such a large area as his fiefdom would have a negative impact on the person in charge.
The person in charge laughed and said, "Don't worry, I just gave you the maximum amount within my authority. There won't be any problem. Little brother, you and I felt destined to be together the moment we met. This is a little gift from me as a brother, and also a reward for your many military achievements."
Chen Lei said: "Thank you very much, brother. I will refuse your offer."
The person in charge said, "Just accept it with confidence. Do you want to go through the formalities now, or come back later?"
Chen Lei said: "Of course we should go through the formalities now, the sooner the better."
The person in charge said: "No problem, just wait a moment, it will be ready in a moment."
After saying this, he turned and left, leaving Chen Lei alone.
A moment later, the person in charge came out again with a big seal in his hand.
This big seal is exactly the terrain of the fiefdom that Chen Lei exchanged, and there is a big word "Chen" engraved on it.
The person in charge handed the seal to Chen Lei and said, "Chen Lei, this is your lord seal. From now on, this area will become your private territory. I have filed this information with the Xuan League and notified the Great Chu Dynasty. From today on, you are the owner of this fiefdom."
"Thank you!" Chen Lei took the seal in his hands and said sincerely.
The person in charge waved his hand and said, "You're welcome. My name is Yue Feng. If you have any problems in the future, just come to me."
Chen Lei said, "Brother Yue, it's settled then. I will definitely have to trouble you in the future."
Yue Feng laughed and said, "I was looking forward to your coming. It's too boring here."
Chen Lei laughed and said, "Brother Yue, I'll take my leave now."
Yue Feng also saw that Chen Lei was busy, so he didn't force him to stay, saying, "See you later."
"See you later."
Chen Lei bowed, then walked out of the Military Merit Exchange Office, came to the outside of the city, boarded the Feiyun Boat, and rushed towards Qingyang Town at lightning speed.
After returning to Qingyang Town, Chen Lei went directly to see the head of the family, Chen Tangxuan.
"What? You said that this area has become the private territory of our Chen family?"
After Chen Tangxuan met Chen Lei, he was completely shocked by the news that Chen Lei brought back.
Chen Lei had just said that he was going out for a trip. Chen Tangxuan didn't expect that Chen Lei would do such a big thing after coming back from just a trip.
According to the information Chen Lei brought back, all areas around Qingyang Town, including the five cities and thirteen counties, are private territories of the Chen family.
In this private territory, even the Kingdom of Chu could not govern them. Everything in this private territory, including the people, minerals, land, as well as various personnel, financial and tax powers, were enjoyed by the Chen family.
Moreover, it did not have to pay any taxes to the Chu Dynasty and was not subject to any control by the Chu Dynasty. It could be called a country within a country.
