Nine Pins Immortal Road

Chapter 207 Merit Points

The Zhang family was cut from Qipin County Hao to Jiupin County Hao, which is punishment.

However, the imperial court also reserved the position of the lowest family leader for the Zhang family, and allowed them to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds, which is already considered a reward.

It should be that the Zhang family sought refuge with the county magistrate Xie Wenyun.

Otherwise, according to the harm caused by the Zhang family in the "Lingding Secret Realm", the whole family will be sentenced to exile on the frontier and serve as a sin cultivator for the Immortal Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhang Junxiang did not object at all, and directly respectfully accepted the order.

And after the Zhang family, is the 'emery' Shi family.

After the "magic disaster" broke out, many losses in Ludong County, including the responsibility for the casualties of nearly [-] civilians, were indeed mostly blamed on the county lieutenant.

Although Shi Shaofeng, the county lieutenant, was still in the "Lingding Secret Realm" when the "magic disaster" broke out, but according to the long-standing practice of the Great Jin Dynasty, the officials of the local yamen are all selected from the chief official's family. appointed magistrate.

Just like Liang Zhaohuang served as the river inspector in Ludong County, he was a ninth-rank official appointed by the imperial court.

His eldest brother and second sister were appointed by the local government as deputy inspectors of river courses in Ludong County, and they were all local officials from the ninth grade.

Even many officials and soldiers in the River Inspection Department were appointed by the Liang family's children.

Similarly, Shi Shaofeng served as the county lieutenant of Ludong County and was an official of the eighth rank appointed by the imperial court.

And under him, there are several local officials from the eighth rank in the county yamen, as well as many officials and soldiers, all of whom are monks of the 'Emerald' Shi family.

It can be said that the power of the Wei Yamen in the entire Ludong County is controlled by the 'Emerald' Shi family.

Such a rule, of course, allowed the families of the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty to fully control the local real power, but once something happened, these powerful families who fully controlled the local real power would naturally be unable to escape responsibility.

Therefore, Shi Shaofeng and the Shi family will definitely bear the responsibility for the loss of Ludong County and the casualties of nearly [-] civilians under the 'magic disaster'.

The difference is just how much responsibility is taken.

But now it seems that in the battle with the county magistrate 'Xie Wenyun', the Shi family and some of the forces behind the Shi family lost in the end, and now most of the blame has been spread on Shi Shaofeng and the Shi family.

In contrast, the county magistrate Xie Wenyun undoubtedly had much fewer responsibilities, accounting for only a small part.

And because of this crime, the Shi family was fined a large number of spirit stones, and the product was reduced to one rank, and Shi Shaofeng was removed from the post of county captain of Ludong County.

In the "Gold List Title" three days ago, the Shi family chose to advance, from Bapin County Hao to Qipin Aristocrat.

But now, under the imperial decree, the Shi family was reduced to one rank, and then reduced back to the wealthy family in Bapin County. The loss is not too big.

However, Shi Shaofeng's post of county lieutenant was removed, which can be regarded as achieving the goal of county magistrate Xie Wenyun.

When Liang Zhaohuang heard the punishment, he immediately thought of the matter that Mr. Wu came to Liang's house to persuade him to come in.

"So, the post of county lieutenant in Ludong County will belong to our Liang family?"

Liang Zhaohuang couldn't help thinking, and after the punishment of Zhang and Shi was announced in the imperial decree, the rewards began to be announced.

After all, this time a demon cultivator appeared in the "Lingding Secret Realm", which almost destroyed the "Lingding Cauldron Secret Realm" in Ludong County, turning Ludong County into a dead place.

And the county lords in Ludong County joined forces to kill Moxiu, prevented the sinking and destruction of the "Lingding Secret Realm", and saved Ludong County, which naturally needs to be rewarded.

Punishment and rewards are the right way.

The Lin family of 'Black Thorn', the Ye family of 'Ling Ye Fu', the Lu family of 'Yunshui', the Wang family of 'Fire Crow', and the Liang family, the wealthy families of five counties were rewarded.

This reward includes two aspects: the luck of the fairy dynasty, the blessing of human luck, and material rewards.

Among them, the blessings of Xianchao National Luck and Human Dao Luck have been rewarded to several rich and powerful families in the county during the "Gold List Title" three days ago.

But this time, the imperial decree mainly talked about material rewards.

It mainly includes spirit stones, spirit materials and merit points.

Needless to say, spirit stones and spirit materials are hard currencies.

As for the meritorious service value, it is even more rare than spirit stones, spirit materials, etc., and can be exchanged for treasures directly from the treasury of the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty.

These treasures include spiritual stones, spiritual materials, elixir, elixirs, magic tools, talismans, formations, etc., and the most important thing is inheritance.

Including the inheritance of practice, as well as the inheritance of various skills.

If you want to get merit points, you need to make important contributions to the Great Jin Dynasty.

Generally speaking, the most common way to obtain merit points is to join the frontier army, guard the border for the country, and even expand the territory.

However, generally speaking, those who can organize troops on the border to guard the border and expand the border are at least those who have such strength.

Back when the Liang family was still a poor family, they sent their children to join the army organized by the prefect 'Chiding' Wang family to fight on the border, in order to earn merit points for the Wang family, in exchange for a foundation-building inheritance suitable for the family.

As for the rich and powerful families in the county, they usually develop within the Xian Dynasty to maintain local stability and prosperity, and they rarely have a chance to obtain merit points.

This time, several county tycoons prevented the blood demon from destroying the "Lingding Secret Realm" and saved Ludong County.

Even so, among the rewards, spirit stones are the main ones, supplemented by spirit materials, and the merit value is the least.

In the imperial decree, the rewards are basically divided into three grades. The Lin family, Lu family, and Wang family are in the first grade, and the rewards are the lowest; on top of that, the Ye family with the 'Spiritual Leaf Talisman' belongs to the second grade, and the rewards are slightly higher; finally, the rewards of the Liang family The third grade has the most rewards.

This time in the 'Spirit Cauldron Secret Realm', the Liang family undoubtedly contributed the most to preventing the blood demon from destroying the secret realm, so they also received the most rewards.

Among them, the spiritual stones and spiritual materials needless to say, can be worth the harvest of the Liang family in three years.

But what the Liang family valued most was undoubtedly meritorious service. This time, the imperial court rewarded them with a total of [-] meritorious service.

It seems rare, but it is very rare and important to the Liang family.

Back then, the Liang family was still a poor family, and they sent their children to join the army of the 'Red Ding' royal family, fighting and fighting at the border, hoping to earn merit points so that they could exchange for the foundation-building inheritance suitable for the family through the royal family.

At that time, the family also checked the exchange list. The most common five-element attribute foundation-building inheritance suitable for the Liang family, or the inheritance without innate spiritual skills after practice, at least requires more than [-] merit points.

As a result, several children of the Liang family died at the border, including uncle Liang Xuexin. After decades of hard work, they failed to accumulate three hundred merit points and failed to exchange for a suitable foundation-building inheritance for the family.

It can be seen from this that the value of the five hundred merit points obtained this time is worthless.

Of course, the Liang family already has the inheritance of the 'Five Qi Lotus Sutra', and Liang Zhaohuang had the opportunity to realize the prototype of the secret method of 'Five Elements Creation' in the 'Lingding Secret Realm', and he is confident that it can be perfected into the most suitable for the Liang family. Life practice exercises.

Therefore, Liang Zhaohuang had other arrangements for the five hundred merit points.
