Chapter 0140 The new problem of settling in the capital
boom
Ye Rong put down the wine glass fiercely: "Qianlan Beigong? I have long heard that Qianlan Beigong is very arrogant, and his disciples often engage in murderous and illegal activities. I always thought the rumors were exaggerated. In this way, the rumors are not exaggerated. On the contrary, it is conservative.”
"Brother, don't be angry. Every one of them counts. These guys have all remembered it. One day, they will have to pay the price with interest."
Jiang Chen smiled: "They are all clowns who can't get on the stage. Brother Ye, you don't need to worry about it. I can handle this matter."
"Haha, that's right brother, with your talent, if you can enter Baoshu Sect, you can step on these bastards as much as you want in the future."
Jiang Chen nodded noncommittally, raised his glass and said, "Come on, Brother Ye, let's have a drink."
After drinking and eating, Ye Rong said: "Brother, you have come to the capital, and I must explain many things to you clearly."
"you say."
"First, you are my guest, not my attendant. In this case, you cannot live in the palace. Because living in the palace, you are either a member of the palace or a servant of the palace. Guest, in the final analysis, is an outsider. ,So, you must build another mansion outside."
Jiang Chen had never thought about living in the palace. With so many people, it was obviously inconvenient to live in the palace, and it was indeed pointless to live under someone else's roof.
"It's simple. When the time comes, I will go to a clean place and buy a manor." Jiang Chen's financial resources are amazing. Although this is the Tiangui Kingdom, he doesn't think he can afford to buy a manor.
Ye Rong touched his nose and said with a wry smile: "It's not that simple. When you buy a village, you don't just buy it.
"Oh? Could it be that every inch of land in Tiangui Kingdom is very valuable? This village has been sold for a sky-high price?"
"It's not that sky-high price. With your financial resources, I believe it won't be a problem. But in Tiangui Kingdom, Dazhuangyuan is not something you can just buy if you want. What level of Dazhuangyuan must have what level of status. You are in The Eastern Kingdom has a high status, but in the Tiangui Kingdom, it is still a white body."
When Ye Rong said this, Jiang Chen finally understood.
I'm sorry, the Tiangui Kingdom is still ranked third, sixth or ninth when it comes to purchasing property. Without noble status, you can't buy a corresponding house.
If you say this, Jiang Chen also understands.
In fact, it is similar in the Eastern Kingdom. Luxurious areas are not accessible to ordinary people if they want to live there. Even big businessmen cannot enter or leave aristocratic areas without corresponding fame and status.
There are no explicit rules in the Eastern Kingdom, but there are differences in circles in the unspoken rules.
The Tiangui Kingdom is more thorough than the Eastern Kingdom, and it is clearly stipulated by laws.
What status you have and what kind of house you live in are all clearly defined. If you want to cross the line, there is no way. Even if you have money, you can't buy it.
Speaking of which, the Tiangui Kingdom is indeed different from other countries. With Jiang Chen's reputation, the Black Moon Kingdom directly promised him the position of a first-class prince.
When he arrived at the Tiangui Kingdom, even the dignified prince Ye Rong could not help him cheat.
From this point of view, the kingdom machine of the Tiangui Kingdom operates much more rationally than the Eastern Kingdom and the Black Moon Kingdom, and the rules here are much more cruel.
"Brother Ye, what are the channels for obtaining identity?"
"That's quite a lot. Needless to say, official positions and military positions. In these two directions, promotions are quick. But the competition is also very high."
"In addition to official and military positions, there are also some sect institutions. For example, in the area of elixirs, weapon refining, and various cultivation-related departments, they all have a large number of nobles. The Baoshu Sect is in the sky The Kingdom of Gui has four great courts. These four great courts also hold a large number of nobles."
"Four Avenues?"
"Yes, the Four Great Temples. The Qianlan Beigong you met is one of the Four Great Temples. There is also the Qianlan South Palace, the Qingyang Temple in Qingyang Valley, and the Duobao Temple. They are collectively called the Four Great Temples."
"Qianlan North Palace, and Qianlan South Palace?"
"Well, Qianlan North Palace basically controls the western region, while Qianlan South Palace controls the southern region. Qingyang Valley is in the middle of the kingdom. Duobao Dojo is located directly in the royal capital."
Ye Rong explained patiently: "How about this? I have some personal connections in Qianlan Nangong and can help you get a noble seat. However, personal connections can only be with eighth-grade nobles at most. No matter how high they are, it will be more difficult to get. Already."
The nobles of Tiangui Kingdom are divided into nine grades.
The ninth grade is the lowest and the first grade is the highest.
A prince like Ye Rong is naturally a first-class existence. If he can be established as a prince, he will be separated from the rank and directly to the royal rank.
"Qianlan Nangong?" Although Jiang Chen knew that Qianlan Nangong and Qianlan Beigong were two different forces, he still felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this name.
"Forget it because of the relationship. Tomorrow I will go to the capital for a walk and get to know the situation. When I arrive in a new place, I need to get familiar with it first. If I want to stay, just find an inn first."
Ye Rong was a little ashamed. He was a prince, but in many matters, the prince of Tiangui Kingdom did not have much room for favoritism and malpractice.
Moreover, more importantly, the monarch’s inspection of each son is also within the scope of the inspection. If a prince frequently uses the banner of the royal family to make special arrangements and engage in favoritism and malpractice, he will definitely be investigated. The king's heart was greatly reduced.
Jiang Chen, on the other hand, was very free and easy.
Although the treatment you get when you come to Tiangui Kingdom is very ordinary, it is completely different from the treatment promised by Black Moon Kingdom and Dongfang Kingdom for high-ranking ministers.
However, Jiang Chen prefers this feeling.
This new challenge made Jiang Chen even more motivated. Moreover, he did not think that he would not even be able to obtain the status of a noble in the royal capital.
That night, under Ye Rong's arrangement, they stayed at a large inn with a good environment. After a tiring journey, they were able to stay peacefully, and the night was considered peaceful.
Early the next morning, Jiang Chen called eight personal guards and assigned them some tasks to collect various intelligence about Tiangui Capital. For example, what kind of organization, what qualifications are needed, and what level of nobles can be obtained. identity.
Jiang Chen was naturally unwilling to do these trivial matters himself.
Sending subordinates to handle the task is also to test the ability of these eight personal guards and to train them.
Jiang Chen himself took Magatama and Qiao Baishi and planned to visit Tang Long's house according to the address given by Tang Long.
Although Jiang Chen didn't know what Tang Long entrusted them with, he could tell from Tang Long's tone that this thing was very important to Tang Long's family.
Tang Long's home was in the poor residential area in the northwest area of the royal capital. Walking through the streets and alleys, Jiang Chen finally found this alley.
The dirty alley made Magatama, a woman from a royal family, feel a little uncomfortable.
However, when she saw Jiang Chen's indifferent expression, he actually let go after walking for a few steps. As he stepped further, she didn't feel how dirty the dirty alley was anymore.
Tang Long's house is a bungalow, which looks very shabby, but it is very clean inside and out.
Jiang Chen and the others knocked on the door, but it was opened by a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old. When the girl saw the stranger, her delicate face turned slightly red.
He stammered and asked: "Which one are you looking for?"
"Is this Tang Long's home?" Jiang Chen asked with a smile.
"Yes...yes, who are you?" The girl was a little wary.
But a voice came from the back room: "Sister-in-law, is my brother back? Has my brother sent the things back?"
This voice sounded young, probably about the same age as Jiang Chen.
"Tang Long asked us to come here. There is a package here for us to bring. You guys can take inventory." Jiang Chen handed the package to the girl.
The girl blushed, wiped her hands on her clothes a few times, then reached out to take it, and walked towards the back room with a blushing face.
After a while, an excited shout came from the back room: "Haha, it's really Wulingmu, sister-in-law, it's really Wulingmu. Haha, so I'll be eligible to sign up for Lan Nangong's free clinic in a few days. Now. Sister-in-law, I... I can walk straight on my feet from now on. Brother, you are really my good big brother."
The young man in the back room seemed to be very agitated. He couldn't help but beat the bed board and let out a loud scream. It seemed that he had been suppressing it for a long time and was finally releasing it at this moment.
The girl in coarse linen clothes came out again, her voice timid: "Are you friends of Tang Long? Come in and have a drink of water?"
Jiang Chen took a look inside the house and saw that the family's life was quite simple. It seemed that the conditions were very bad.
Jiang Chen didn't want to cause any trouble to them. Once the things were delivered, it was regarded as fulfilling Tang Long's request.
"I won't drink the water anymore. We'll leave first after the things are delivered."
The girl was relieved when she heard that they were not entering the house. Obviously, her home was in such a bad condition, and she thought that these people must be dressed very noble, so she didn't know how to entertain these guests.
"Then... um, Tang Long, is he okay?" The girl summoned up the courage to ask.
"Haha, that's good, but he's been a little busy lately and it seems like it will take a while before he can get home. Are you his wife? I didn't expect that this guy actually has a wife, haha." Jiang Chen smiled and waved his hand. gone.
After leaving Tang Long's house, Jiang Chen was not in a hurry to go back to the inn, but instead walked around the royal capital. The royal capital was very big, and it would take less than ten days and a half to finish it.
A group of three people were walking when they suddenly saw two people hurriedly turning into a street intersection.
"Hey, hurry up, hurry up. I heard that the wish tower has been opened. This time, the entire wish tower has eleven floors open, except for the last few floors. Let's try our luck."
"Stop talking nonsense and let's go"
"Damn it, this time I fight hard and must draw a wish above the ninth level. I heard that as long as you can help realize the wish above, you can at least get the status of a sixth-grade noble."
"Tch, stop dreaming. If you can realize a wish of that level, why would they put up a wish tower? What are you dreaming about in broad daylight?"
"That's not necessarily the case. Have you forgotten what happened the year before last? It's like a wanderer from a small country came to our Tiangui Kingdom to see the world. It happened to be the opening day of the Wish Tower. He came from a remote place and didn't know about the Wish Tower. According to the rules, he directly drew an eleventh-level wish. As a result, by some strange combination of circumstances, he was able to solve that wish. The man suddenly became prosperous, and now he seems to be a fifth-grade noble. This is really an overnight success, changing his destiny in an instant, and rising to great heights. ah."
"That kind of thing may only happen once in a hundred years. I'd better be more realistic and hope that I can draw a wish that allows me to make some money."
Jiang Chen and the three of them seemed to be very interested when they heard the words "Wish Tower" and heard these people talking about it.
"Tower of Wishes, there are so many tricks in the Tiangui Kingdom. How about we go and have some fun?" Anyway, it was okay. Jiang Chen also wanted to see what the Tower of Wishes was like. It sounded like it was very interesting.
