ere wouldn't be much danger.When Jiang Wang arrived at the outskirts of the city, Zhao Rucheng and Ling He were already there. There was no one else. Among the brothers, Du Yehǔ had the most friends b...“Heaven and Earth alone are supreme. The Great Emperor decrees: I value governing with culture and subduing chaos with martial might. Among military leaders and generals, truly stand as the pillars of the imperial court and the bulwarks of the nation. Being both culturally refined and militarily capable, their contributions in serving the country should certainly be acknowledged and rewarded! Now, there is a man named Jiang, whose background may seem humble, yet he yearns to serve his country. He first distinguished himself with meritorious service during the Dayzhao Campaign, then again by capturing the red-tailed banner at Chiwei. His numerous accomplishments over time have earned him the title of Qingyang Town Marquis. Congratulations!”

In Qingyang Town, Chong Xuan finished reading the imperial decree in one breath, rolled up the scroll in his hand, and threw it to Jiang Wang: "Don't just stand there, young man from Qingyang Town!"

Now that the war against Yang Guo is over, it's time to divide the spoils of victory.

Leaving others aside, Jiang Wang alone was bestowed the title of "the man from Qingyang Town".

This is a genuine landowning baron, far superior to those with mere honorary titles.

In all the countries under heaven, official positions may differ, but ranks are largely the same. They are all below the rank of king, consisting of duke, marquis, earl, viscount, and baron.

Generally speaking, different countries have different customs. Even if they are both small countries, the lord of Youguo is just a beast for food, his status is obviously far less than that of the lord of Yangguo. However, the titles generally correspond to the hierarchy, so representatives from different countries meet each other. They mostly judge their status based on their titles. This imperial decree was sent to the army by angels. The one who should be credited first is Chongxuan Chuliang. The proper ceremonies have already been completed in the army. When the angels returned home to report, the imperial decree was passed on by Chongxuan Sheng.

Given his background, he was used to these things and didn't hold them in much regard.

Jiang Wang held the imperial decree in his hand, and there was a different kind of feeling in his heart.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

After struggling for many years in the State of Zhuang, he first entered the outer court and then the inner court. His studies were incomplete, and he had not yet had time to achieve fame and make his mark before he was forced to leave home. Unexpectedly, in the State of Qi, he became a feudal baron.

It goes without saying that she is from the island sects near the sea. As for the meritorious system of Daqi, Zhu Biqiong had no feelings about it. Unlike Zhang Hai and Dugu Xiao, these Qingyang Town Hall members were all proud.

“From now on, sir will be a true VIP!” Zhang Hai chuckled.

After the attack on Qingyang Town by the Longmian, he was subtly pushed to the periphery of the core. As a rare extraordinary cultivator in Qingyang Town, his status was very awkward.

Alas, with the entire Yang Kingdom falling in a single battle, there is probably no place safer than Qingyang Town. He had no confidence to defect elsewhere at this time. He could only reluctantly continue to make a living in Qingyang Town. In order to change Jiang Wang's opinion and dispel his former aimless stupor, he not only became proactive in his work but also became overly servile.

Greed for life and fear of death are human nature, but you reap what you sow. He doesn't have the strength like Xiang Qian, nor the courage like Dugu Xiao, so naturally, he won't get equal treatment.

Jiang Wang wouldn't belittle him for not going all out during battle. "Whatever needs to be done." He had to learn how to do what was needed, even if it wasn't easy. The phrase “people use their talents to the fullest” isn’t easy to live by.

A hereditary baron is naturally a nobleman, especially since the entire Qingyang Town jurisdiction now legally and practically belongs to Jiang Wang.

This is the result of Chong Xuan's striving.

“Come in and speak.”

Retire others, and bring Chongxuan into the quiet chamber.

Now that the plague ravaging Yang Kingdom has been absorbed by the White Bone Saint Master, though the damage caused by the bubonic plague is truly grievous, those who survived must ultimately look forward.

Chingyang Town was the first place to restore order, and it attracted a large number of refugees (in reality, most were displaced people from nearby towns who claimed to be refugees). Now, the officially registered population of the town has just exceeded 40,000.

Jiang Wang could be considered to have settled down in Qingyang Town. Although he didn't pay much attention to enjoyment, his living arrangements had been improved out of necessity.

Now, she no longer lived with the government officials but in a separate elegant courtyard, keeping a few servants. The head steward of the courtyard was managed by XiaoXiao herself; she personally handled everything regarding Jiang Wang, and she wasn't easily willing to let anyone else take over.

For Jiang Wang, the cultivation chamber was his primary residence, while he rarely used the bedroom.

This room is minimalist in style, with bare walls on all sides and only a single meditation cushion.

He sat on spare cushions prepared for emergencies.

"Congratulations. You won again." Jiang Wang said after they sat down.

"It's not time to win yet," Chong Xuan said modestly.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Although he said so, the smile in his eyes couldn't be hidden.

"Qi Ting has always been generous. This time, for your contributions, in addition to granting you the title of Baron, he also awarded you 10,000 yuan and a hundred stones, as well as a secret Taoist technique from the national treasury."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Chongxuan Sheng said, taking out a box and handing it over: "This is the Daoist method I chose for you. See if it suits you"

One hundred thousand yuan is a "huge sum" for Jiang Wang, meaning that Jiang An'an's top-grade pulse opening pill can now be repaid.

Of course, compared to the Dao Yuan Stone, the priceless national treasure secret Taoism that is rumored to exist in the treasury is what Jiang Wang cares about more.

Throughout history, the qigong and martial arts bestowed by the imperial court have been divided into two categories: National Treasury Transmission and Imperial Family Transmission. The former is vast and comprehensive, while the latter is limited but refined. However, this does not mean that National Treasury Transmission is inferior to Imperial Family Transmission. It simply means that their methods of preservation are different.

As the name suggests, Guokü Mìchuán (國庫秘傳) refers to treasures and spoils acquired by the State of Qi during its campaigns. Huángshì Mìchuán (皇室秘傳), on the other hand, primarily consists of items obtained by the royal family of Qi itself, much like the distinction between public treasury and private coffers.

What can be collected into the national treasury is certainly no ordinary item. With heavy emphasis on profound knowledge, one would naturally not seek out anything mediocre.

There was no need to rush. Jiang Wang casually took the box and set it aside. He was just about to ask Chong Xuan Sheng what he planned to do next.

But this fat man suddenly said, "Why don't you take the stuff and return the storage box! You have to hand it back eventually anyway!"

"...Didn't you just say that Qiting was generous"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

"Being generous doesn't mean being indiscriminate. You've already been given Qingyang Town and the state treasury's secret techniques, plus a hundred Myriad Yuan Stones. This storage box is almost as valuable as a hundred Myriad Yuan Stones, and you're getting it for free on top of that"

Zhong Xuan rolled his eyes.

But because the eyes are small, it is not obvious.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

Jiang Wang wasn't embarrassed either. While putting the Dao Yuan Stone into his storage pouch, he grumbled: "Ah, I was born into danger and death."

“Enough is enough.” Zhong Xuan said with a smug smile. “Your Qingyang Town man was just the first step. Brother, I plan three steps ahead, understand” He whispered mysteriously, “Next, I’ll help you get the position of Sunlit Town pacifier!”

Jiang Wang frowned: "I'm only at the Tenglong realm, I'm probably not enough"

The post of pacification commissioner was a temporary official position established to deal with situations like that in Yang. Its primary responsibilities lay in "pacifying" and "governing," essentially equivalent to those of a local governor during peacetime.

If one conducts oneself properly during their term of office and possesses the necessary skills, the position of county magistrate is generally almost guaranteed.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

However, Jiang Wang's cultivation realm was Tenglong Stage.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

The county magistrate of Qi State, at the very least, must be a practitioner with the strength of an Inner Refinement Realm. Outer House Realm is the standard.

Even the county magistrate of Yang Guo would have his jurisdiction based on the Imperial Household's boundaries. Based solely on cultivation, Jiang Wang was still far behind. Even in terms of meritorious service, it was insufficient.

"Hmm." Chong Xuan looked around the quiet room. It was impossible not to be in harmony with such an environment if one cultivated here day and night.

With your talent and diligence, it won't be long before you possess the strength of a master like Song Guang. Moreover, your inner energy cultivation is already solid, so there shouldn't be any problems with your progress.

As for your achievements... You lifted the threat from Rizhao County, captured the enemy's flag, brought peace to the region before the war, and calmed the hearts of the people after the war. Now throughout Yang Guo, the common people yearn for Huang Yixing and you, Jiang Wang. You are just a temporary pacifier, how is this insufficient

Zhonghuan Sheng said, Huang Yi-xing. This man went alone onto the battlefield and died protesting against Zhu Liang's massacre of Yangyu. His reputation in Yangdi reached unprecedented heights, being seen by the people of Yangdi as a savior.

Here's the translation:

Upon his return to Yangdi, out of consideration for pacifying the hearts of the people, he was appointed as the pacifier of Hengyang County.

>

If he performs well, he will be the future magistrate of Hengyang County.

All officials, big and small in the Yang Kingdom, were either killed or forced to surrender. At most, they were demoted and kept on. However, this individual advanced even further than before the war.

Heyang County was the former capital of Yang Kingdom, it's certainly not comparable to Chiwei County.
