Four hundred and seventieth chapters congratulations from all directions (1)
After drinking until they had finished their meal, Yang Ji and Tu Su Renxiong parted ways and then returned to the Jade Ax Inn where they were staying.
Back at the Jade Ax Inn, Yang Ji saw a thin figure standing in the long street from a distance, smiling from ear to ear.
"Congratulations, sir, congratulations, sir!"
The thin old man put his feet together and bowed to Yang Ji from a distance.
"Ghost Alchemist?"
Yang Ji looked surprised: "I sent a message from Fei Ge before, asking you to go to a restaurant for dinner. Why didn't you go?"
"Because I'm very busy."
The ghost alchemist put his hands in his sleeves and said with a smile.
"Very busy?"
Yang Jiqi was surprised: "I guess you haven't turned on the furnace recently, right?"
"Hehe, of course not. I'm not like the young master, who can produce alchemy with such a high rate."
Ghost Alchemist said.
"what is that?"
Seeing the crooked smile on his face, Yang Ji began to worry. This behavior of the Ghost Alchemist was too abnormal.
"Hey hey hey, let's get something!"
The ghost alchemist still smiled slyly and said:
"You don't know, I've been ordering something since noon. My hands haven't stopped."
"Something?"
Yang Ji's eyes flashed, and he finally felt that something was wrong. It seemed that something happened that he didn't know about when he was having dinner to celebrate:
"Ghost Alchemist, what's going on?"
"Hahaha, sir, you don't know, right? From noon to now, I have been receiving gifts without mercy, and I haven't stopped at all. Look, isn't this happening again?"
The ghost alchemist suddenly stretched out his right hand, branched out a skinny finger, pointed behind Yang Ji and said.
Yang Ji suddenly looked back and saw a heavy carriage slowly approaching in the dusk amid the rumbling sound. When he arrived in front of the Jade Ax Inn, a young and vigorous man jumped out of the carriage.
He bowed and bowed, and asked carefully:
"Is this Young Master Yang Ji Yang?"
"Exactly."
Yang Ji looked at the young man in surprise.
But the other party didn't dare to raise his head. He put his right hand into his sleeve and pulled out a square, golden and red post:
"We belong to the Zhang family. This is our master's wish. I hope Mr. Yang will accept it."
As he spoke, he let out a whistle, and four well-dressed figures jumped out of the carriage. Without saying a word, they began to unload and move things into the Jade Ax Inn with extremely familiar movements.
"Wait a minute..."
Yang Ji frowned, and just as he was about to call them to stop, he was stopped by the ghost alchemist behind him.
"Hehehe. Master, these people are just servants. They obey orders. Don't make things difficult for them. If they fail to complete their tasks, these people will be punished when they return."
The ghost alchemist said, putting his hands in his sleeves and holding his head high, as if he was familiar with the inside story:
"Furthermore, after the new martial arts candidates come out, all the aristocratic families, wealthy families, and nobles, whether they know each other or not, must send a copy. Even if they are mortal enemies, they must be aware of it and show off. This is the rule, one term
This is how the martial arts examinations are conducted. If anyone breaks the rules, other wealthy families will exclude them without the need for the young master to take action, and they will not get along well with them in the future."
"Besides, this thing is different from giving gifts. The young master only needs to receive them, and you don't have to worry about anything."
Ghost Alchemist said.
"Why is this?"
Yang Jidao, a strange light flashed in his eyes. There is no free lunch in the world, and wealthy families are not fools. Yang Ji knew there must be some reason for this.
"Hey. People of the same race have the friendship of the same race, classmates have the friendship of classmates, people of the same school have the friendship of the same sect. Naturally, people of the same continent also have the friendship of the same continent!..."
When the Ghost Alchemist heard Yang Ji's words, he stopped smiling. He lowered his hands and said with a serious look on his face. Every line has its own rules. Yang Ji is a newcomer and knows nothing about these.
However, the Ghost Alchemist felt that as Yang Ji's follower, he had the responsibility and obligation to tell and remind Yang Ji of these rules that were both overt and covert.
"In this world of Taiyuanzhou, no matter who you have a grudge against or who you kill, no one will care even if it is a direct son whom a family attaches great importance to. That is between you and them."
"But it's different outside. If you are in trouble, as long as the problem is not too serious, people from the same continent will help each other, even if you have never met before. This is the friendship of the same continent."
"People leave the place where they were born, just like fish leave the water. The fish leave the water, fall into the ruts, and breathe each other's saliva. This is mutual support. The martial arts in Taiyuanzhou in the east is not strong, compared with the outside world.
We are one step shorter. Therefore, we should help each other even more."
"This kind of thing is mutual. Not only do you need to help others, but people you don't know will also come to help you. Young master has just entered the officialdom. You will understand it after you leave the realm of Taiyuanzhou."
"These gifts I'm sending you now, let's not talk about people from outside the continent, are for your reputation as the first person to be elected. But for people in the continent, you can ignore them at all, and don't even need to read the post.
Just take it."
The Ghost Alchemist spoke earnestly and thoughtfully, and gave instructions with sincerity.
He has stayed in Taiyuanzhou Mansion for decades, and because of his special status as an alchemist, he has come into contact with various aristocratic families. He has also witnessed wave after wave of martial arts examinations, and has been influenced by them. He has long been aware of these overt and covert rules.
It's extremely ripe.
The reason why those aristocratic families valued him was that the envoys they sent did not even look at him or ask if he was qualified to collect things on behalf of Yang Ji. As soon as they saw him, they unloaded the gifts and gave them to him, that is, this
intention.
That's why after the martial arts examination ended at noon, Yang Ji asked someone to be a ghost alchemist, and the ghost alchemist refused to go. It wasn't just because Yang Ji's fellow disciples were having a drink together, and it was not good for him to go as an outsider.
The deeper reason is also because of this!
"Hush!"
Yang Ji sighed and was filled with emotion. He only saw people giving gifts, but he didn't expect that there was so much knowledge in them. If it hadn't been for the ghost alchemy master's suggestion, he really wouldn't have known.
Under normal circumstances, if he stayed in Taiyuanzhou all the time, he really wouldn't want to accept it. But the fiery-eyed Jinqing, the head of these wealthy families, really caught their fancy.
Yang Ji, a martial arts examiner, will stay in Taiyuanzhou for a shorter period of time than anyone else. For a normal martial arts examiner, it would take at least a year and a half from the announcement of the gold medal to the formal appointment and the title of general.
But Yang Ji was not prepared to stay here for such a long time!
After defeating Wei Boyang and Sima Shaozhen, the matter of Cangxu City has been put on the agenda. From now on, it is foreseeable that Dapeng will spread its wings and spread its wings to the northwest.
He really can’t stay in Taiyuanzhou Mansion for long!
Although Yang Ji instinctively wanted to refuse when he saw the carriages offering gifts. But in fact, if he thought about it carefully, except for a few of the many dignitaries and wealthy families in Taiyuanzhou Mansion, there was actually no grudge between other forces and him.
, let alone such a big festival.
"...Actually, my lord, think about it. With the current status of Marquis Zhongwu, why did he come to Taiyuan Continent instead of recruiting new members from other continents to recruit new members after his loss? It's not because he cares about the friendship with the same continent."
"In officialdom, when traveling, people from the same continent are more reliable than people from outside!"
Ghost Alchemist said.
After hearing his words, Yang Ji finally made up his mind and stopped hesitating.
"Okay, let's do as you say!"
Yang Jidao said, lifting up his robe and not looking at the unloading carriages. He crossed the threshold and strode into the Jade Ax Inn.
Behind him, the ghost alchemist was beaming with joy, hey, hey, he followed Yang Ji and trotted in.
…
He knew that the Ghost Alchemist had received a lot of gifts for him, but when he saw the list of gifts that the Ghost Alchemist had prepared for him, Yang Ji was still greatly surprised.
There are seventy or eighty mansions in Zhoufu, tens of thousands of fertile fields, twenty hunting gardens on the top of mountains, more than six hundred slaves and pretty maids, a hundred mature smuggling goods, and caravans traveling from north to south.
, more than 700 escort experts, and even two small-scale offshore fishing fleets.
The gold, banknotes and the like alone are more than 200 million taels!
If Yang Ji wants to set up his own family and form a force of this size, it is completely ready-made, and it is much larger than many ordinary wealthy families. Let alone a small clan like the Yang family in Jin'an City!
He knew that the Ghost Alchemist had received many good gifts for him while he was away. But Yang Ji did not expect that the gifts would be so big and numerous.
"His!"
Yang Jichang took a long breath and continued reading the post summarized by Ghost Alchemist. Ghost Alchemist has a bad habit of putting the not so good things first and letting you read the good ones later.
.
There is still a long list on this list. In addition to the things mentioned above, many aristocratic families also know that Yang Ji is an alchemist, and specially sent many precious high-grade medicinal herbs, medicinal stones, alchemy furnaces, cauldron furnaces, rare and exotic herbs.
There are so many of them, there are even many prescriptions.
Not to mention, a large number of flying swords, magic weapons, elixirs and some martial arts secrets!
Although the level is not too high, it is not as good as Yang Ji's Magma Crocodile, and it is not as good as Yang Ji's Bloodthirsty Sword, but it is better because of its large number.
If Yang Ji wants to establish his own family, these things will be very useful and can greatly expand the family's strength.
Frankly speaking, Yang Ji now has all the strength to set up his own business and establish a large-scale family. Moreover, all the flying swords, magical weapons, servants, maids, and techniques needed by the family are even needed to maintain the family's daily expenses.
The fleets and caravans are all ready.
Yang Ji doesn't need to do anything or care about anything, and the family can officially run!
He knew that the family's handiwork was extraordinary, but when he actually saw it, Yang Ji was still deeply shocked. Now he finally knew why he saw the ghost alchemist standing outside the door and laughing all the time when he came back.
"When I just saw these lists, I was as shocked as the young master. However, this is a noble family, this is a big family. Although it is a huge property for us, it is not even a drop in the bucket for them. So.
Young Master, you don’t need to take it too seriously.” (~^~)
