"Heaven and Earth are supreme. The Great Emperor decrees: I rule the world with literature and subdue chaos with military force. The generals and generals are the pillars of the imperial court and are the backbone of the country. They can be both civil and military. If they work hard, their achievements will be diminished and their lives won't be appreciated. This person surnamed Jiang is a commoner, yet he wants to serve his country. First, there is Rizhao's contribution, followed by Red Tail's contribution in capturing the flag. Accumulating merits, the Baron of Qingyang Town, impressive! "
In Qingyang Town, Chung Geng Sheng finished reading in one breath. He rolled up the edict in his hand and threw it to Jiang Wang, "Don't just stand there, Baron of Qingyang Town!"
The battle of Yang Country was settled, and now it was time to split the fruits of victory.
Not to mention the others, just Jiang Wang was given the title of Baron of Qingyang Town.
This was a baron with a territory, far from what those empty nobles could compare to.
There were different official positions in the world, but the titles were mostly the same. It was just below the Prince, Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, and Baron.
Normally, foreign countries didn't sympathize with them. Even if they were both small countries, the City Lord who protected the country was just food for the turtle beast. His status was obviously far from the City Lord of Yang Country. However, the titles were mostly the same, so they met in foreign countries. Most people judged their status based on their titles.
This edict was sent to the army along with the angel. The main contribution was obviously Chongxuan Chu Liang. The ceremony had already ended in the army. The angel returned to report, so the edict was passed down by Chung Geng Sheng.
With his background, he was used to such things and didn't respect it.
As Jiang Wang held the edict, he felt a different emotion in his heart.
He had worked hard in Zhuang Country for many years. He first entered the outer court and then the inner court. He didn't finish his studies and didn't have time to make a name for himself before he left. He didn't expect to become a baron in Qi.
There was no need to talk about his future. Zhu Biqiong was from a sect near the sea and didn't feel much about Da Qi's merit system. People like Zhang Hai, Dugu Xiao, and the others in Qingyang Town all felt honored.
"From now on, Your Excellency will be a true noble!" Zhang Hai said with a flattering smile.
Since the battle where the dragon face attacked Qingyang Town, he had been vaguely excluded from the core of Qingyang Town. As a rare transcendent cultivator in Qingyang Town, his status was very awkward.
However, the entire Yang Kingdom had been destroyed in a single battle. There was probably no other place more stable than Qingyang Town, and he did not have the confidence to seek refuge elsewhere. He could only barely survive in Qingyang Town. In order to make Jiang Wang change his mind, he swept away his muddle-headedness of the past. Not only did he work actively, but he also flattered a little too much.
It was human nature to be greedy for life and afraid of death, but you would get what you paid for. He didn't have Qian Qian's strength, nor did he have Dugu Xiao's courage. Naturally, he wouldn't receive the same treatment.
Jiang Wang wouldn't treat him harshly just because he didn't put in any effort before the battle. He would just do as he should. It was not easy to make the best use of people, but he had to learn how to do it.
A hereditary baron was, of course, a noble, especially since the entire Qingyang Town now belonged to Jiang Wang both legally and practically.
This was the result that Chung Geng Sheng fought for.
"Let's talk inside."
He dismissed the others and led Chung Geng Sheng into a quiet room.
Now that the plague in the entire Yang Kingdom had been sucked dry by the Holy Lord of White Bones, the damage caused by the plague was tragic, but the survivors had to look forward.
Qingyang Town was the first place to restore order, and it had taken in many refugees (in fact, most of them were people from nearby cities who had migrated here, but they were just pretending to be refugees). Now, the recorded population of the town had just broken through the 40,000 mark.
Jiang Wang could be considered to have settled down in Qingyang Town. Although he didn't pay much attention to personal enjoyment, his necessary living quarters had been improved.
Now, he was no longer squeezed in with the town hall. Instead, he lived alone in an elegant courtyard and kept some servants. Xiaoxiao was also the housekeeper of the courtyard. She handled all of Jiang Wang's matters personally, and she wouldn't easily let others do it.
For Jiang Wang, the quiet room used for cultivation was his usual residence. On the contrary, he rarely used his bedroom.
The quiet room's style was extremely simple. There were four empty walls and a square praying mat.
Chung Geng Sheng sat on a spare praying mat.
"Congratulations. You won the bet again. "After sitting down, Jiang Wang said.
"It's not time to win yet." Chung Geng Sheng said modestly.
Although he said that, he couldn't hide the smile on his face.
"Qi Ting has always been generous. Apart from the title of a hereditary peer baron, your reward this time is nothing else. Apart from this, you're also rewarded with ten thousand vitality stones, a hundred pills, and a secret cultivation technique from the national treasury. "
As Chung Geng Sheng spoke, he took out a box and handed it over. "I picked this cultivation technique for you. See if it's suitable."
Ten thousand vitality stones was a "huge sum." To Jiang Wang, it meant that Jiang Anan's A-grade meridian unlocking pill was enough to repay him.
Of course, compared to the Dao Primordial Stones, Jiang Wang cared more about the priceless secret cultivation technique from the national treasury.
The cultivation techniques and cultivation techniques that the Qi Court rewarded were divided into secret cultivation techniques from the national treasury and secret cultivation techniques from the royal family. The former was broad and extensive, while the latter was rare and refined. However, it didn't mean that the secret cultivation technique from the national treasury was inferior to the secret cultivation technique from the royal family. It was just that the way they were stored and received was different.
As the name implied, the secret cultivation technique from the national treasury was obtained from the Qi Court's conquest of the world, while the secret cultivation technique from the royal family was mostly obtained by the Qi Court's royal family. It was equivalent to the difference between a public treasury and a private treasury.
Anything that could be stored in the national treasury was definitely not ordinary. Moreover, with Chung Geng Sheng's insight, he wouldn't find any rubbish.
There was no need to rush. Jiang Wang took the box and put it aside. He was about to ask Chung Geng Sheng for his next thoughts.
However, the fat man started to sigh. "You should take the things away and return the storage box! You have to return it later! "
"… Didn't you just say that the Qi Court is very generous?"
"Generous is generous, but he won't reward you indiscriminately. Qingyang Town has been given to you, the secret cultivation technique from the national treasury has also been rewarded to you, and ten thousand vitality stones. The value of this storage box is almost the same as ten thousand vitality stones. How can he give it to you for free? "
Chung Geng Sheng rolled his eyes.
However, because of his small eyes, it wasn't obvious.
Jiang Wang wasn't embarrassed at all. He moved the vitality stones into his storage box and said indignantly, "Ah, I went through fire and water."
"Alright, alright." Zhongxuan Sheng was immensely proud of himself. "Your Qingyang Town man is only the first step. I, your older brother, will take every step into consideration. Do you understand?" He said mysteriously, "Next, I will seek the position of Sunshine Town Envoy for you!"
Jiang Wang frowned. "I'm only in the Soaring Dragon Realm. I'm afraid that's not enough, right?"
Town Commissioner was a temporary position in the Yang Kingdom. His main responsibility was to "guard" and "assist". It was basically equivalent to a county governor in peacetime.
If he handled things well during his term of office and his strength could keep up, he would most likely get the position of county governor.
However, Jiang Wang was only in the Soaring Dragon Realm.
A county governor in the Qi Kingdom had to be at least in the Inner Mansion Realm with the Outer Mansion Realm as the standard.
Even the county governor in the Yang Kingdom had to be in the Inner Mansion Realm as the standard. In terms of cultivation, Jiang Wang was far from it. Even his merit points were not enough.
"Hmph." Chung Geng Sheng looked around the room. If he didn't cultivate here day and night, he wouldn't be able to blend in so well with the environment.
"With your talent and hard work, it won't be long before you have the strength to fight against Song Guang and the other Inner Mansion Realm masters. Plus, your Inner Mansion Realm is already set in stone. What's the problem with your cultivation? "
"As for your merit points … You removed the threat of Rizhao County and took the flag. You pacified the people before the war and pacified them after the war. Now, the people in the Yang Kingdom are thinking about Huang Yixing and you, Jiang Wang. How is a temporary town commissioner not enough? "
Chung Geng Sheng was talking about Huang Yixing. He entered the battlefield alone and stopped Chongxuan and Chu Liang's plan to massacre the Yang Kingdom. His reputation in the Yang Kingdom had reached an unprecedented height. The people of the Yang Kingdom saw him as their savior.
The Yang Kingdom had just returned. To pacify the people, he was now the town commissioner of Hengyang County.
If he performed well, he would be the future Hengyang County Governor.
All the officials in the Yang Kingdom had either died or surrendered. At most, they would be demoted. Only this person had improved since the start of the battle.
Hengyang County was the old capital of the Yang Kingdom. Naturally, Chiwei County couldn't be compared to it.
This made people sigh.
