Ding Kui pretended to think, and then suddenly realized: "That's right, you have to return it sooner or later."
Ding Cai ran up to Ding Kui and said, "Master, President Zeng is here and waiting for you in the living room."
"Oh, do you need to grow a horse to give me a bonus? Let's go over and have a look." Ding Kui led people from the backyard to the living room.
"President, we have only been apart for a short time, why do you want to see me for anything? Are you giving me a bonus?" Ding Kui showed his innocent smile.
"Bonus? Oh, the county guild will give it to you in two days. That's not my business." Zeng Qing was stunned for a moment, then realized, "I'm here to tell you that starting in November, you will be
The county guild has started special training. The 'Medal of Justice' has been prepared for you, there are two of them, and they will be awarded to you together when you are promoted to Blade Knight."
"Special training? Why is there special training again? This game is as deep as the sea, when will it be over?" Ding Kui looked bitter when he heard this.
"Hey, if you are lucky enough to enter the national competition, the state branch will definitely give you another year of special training. Of course, there are still many benefits, and you will know it in the future." Zeng Qing looked like he knew you would be like this.
expression.
Zeng Jian, who was standing behind Zeng Qing, said: "Little Nail, I don't want to go back so soon. I want to play in the county for a while. Can I stay with you?"
"No problem. Xiaoxiao, clean up a room in my yard for Master Zeng to stay." Ding Kui winked at Zeng Jian.
"Young master, just give him a room to live in. Don't let him get into trouble or he won't get used to it when he gets home." Zeng Qing was very strict with his grandson.
After seeing off Zeng Qing, Musen and Jiang Nan came together again.
"What? You want me to accept 30% of the shares of Pingzhong County Gambling House? Why do I want this money-losing thing?" Ding Kui frowned.
It turned out that Jiang Tong's message came from the capital, and Musen brought the news to Jiang Nan.
"Young Master, you can't say that. You are of the bloodline of a first-grade marquis. Regardless of your life experience or inheritance, you are the well-deserved number one in Pingzhong County. It's just that the direct descendants of the Ding family have never participated in the knight competition here, and they all ignored it.
Your existence.
If you are excluded as a factor, it is not a problem for the County Gambling House to earn two to three million gold coins from each knight competition, not to mention that in ordinary years, the income is two to three million gold coins. Five hundred can be recovered in more than ten or twenty years.
He’s a member of 10,000 gold coins,” said Musen, who wanted to be Xi’s aide.
Ding Kui calculated in his mind: According to this calculation, I can get 60,000 to 90,000 gold coins every year, and the county competition will be doubled every four years. I have enough for my own training, and I don’t need to take it from home.
It can make enough money for wages, which is better than nothing.
"Okay, Anguo County's rights will be sold for five million gold coins. Musen, please make a statement in the next issue of "Guan Yue" about this matter. Grandpa Kun, please bring your family's seal.
"Let's go find the governor with Jiang Nan, I won't go." Ding Kui was not happy to be associated with the gambling house and did not want to use his governor's seal.
Whether the Jiang family or the Ding family takes over the gambling house's shares, Teng Shun doesn't care. It's on his territory anyway, so he doesn't have to worry about being swallowed up by others. It would be better for Ding Kui to take over the gambling house, because the Ding family can't send anyone to take care of it.
In the end, the Teng family has the final say on gambling house matters.
Jiang Nan brought back a contract from the county governor's house to Ding Kui. The contract was stamped with the seals of the Ding family and the Teng family, indicating that the Ding family of Xixia Town owned 30% of the shares of the gambling house in Pingzhong County.
Stamped with the seals of the two nobles, this contract is supervised by the Senate. If there is any violation, the injured party can appeal to the Senate, and the Senate will force both parties to execute the contract.
Ding Kui is now a trainee knight student in the county guild. After participating in the knight competition, he will complete his studies as a trainee knight here and be promoted to a fighting blade knight.
Officially becoming a Fighting Blade Knight, ordinary people can be exempted from all taxes, do not have to pay city gate taxes when entering and leaving any city, and can also receive monthly allowances from their knight guilds.
Common people whose families have the conditions will try their best to make their children become knights. Even if they can't get enough military exploits and become nobles, they can still enjoy some privileges.
Since he was going to stay in the county for a while and had some spare money, Ding Kui planned to buy a yard.
He has the habit of a Chinese person and likes to buy real estate. Houses in the cities of Shaodian Kingdom are bought out together with the land. Moreover, he is a noble and does not need to pay taxes to anyone.
If a person who is not a noble buys property in a noble's territory and does not want to become a subject of the land, he will need to pay high taxes and fees.
As a lord of a land, I do not exclude other nobles from buying a small amount of land. If you live here, you will always have to spend money, which is equivalent to creating tax revenue for the lord.
Knowing this, Teng Shun gave him the courtyard where Ding Kui currently lives. Because it was very close to the County Knights Guild, it was a suitable house. Ding Kui accepted the gift with peace of mind.
In next year's county competition, Pingzhong County also hopes that Ding Kui will get a good ranking.
The resources the county guild receives from the state Knights Association branch each year are determined based on the state competition rankings and are reallocated every four years.
Pingzhong County ranks average in Zhongwangzhou, and the twenty counties in the state always hover around the 11th or 2nd place. The counties of the five major dukes occupy the top five places, and there are no exceptions in more than 700 state competitions.
After resting for a few days, Ding Kui was about to go out for a walk. When he walked out of his yard, he shouted: "Ding Cai, come with me for a walk."
"Master, Ding Cai is not at home, where are you going? I will accompany you." Jiang Shunchuan was the first to respond to Ding Kui.
"Oh? Not at home? Where did that guy go?" Ding Kui was a little surprised.
"Haha, weren't there bonuses for the past two days? Brother Cai has been holding back at home for a long time. He goes out to have fun whenever he gets the chance these days." Jiang Shunchuan smiled a little weirdly.
Looking at Jiang Shunchuan's expression, Ding Kui understood. He had the body of a fourteen-year-old teenager, but in fact he understood everything.
Since Ding Cai followed me, he has been staying in Xiaxi Town or Heitu City, and has hardly seen a few decent women. People in their thirties always have some needs. My family is really too yang-yang, and there is a lack of it.
It has provided half the sky with moisture.
Ding Kui felt relieved after thinking about it.
"Huh? No, I see why you are a little different from usual, Dachuan." Ding Kui walked around Jiang Shunchuan.
"Young master really has good eyesight. I broke through to the Wind Archer yesterday." Jiang Shunchuan stood up straight like a javelin.
"No wonder I feel that your energy and energy are different. Your whole person is more agile than before, and your eyes are much sharper. Congratulations, you are treating me to a treat at noon today." Ding Kui was very happy.
