Chapter Forty-Eight: I Tribute to Myself

"Song Gongzi, from now on, you are a member of the Shenwu Hall. Chen Zhi looked at Song Yan in front of him and couldn't help but speak helplessly.

Originally, he was only ordered to lead the way, but how could he become a guide? But Chen Zhi has always been a person who respects his teacher, and since it was his uncle who spoke, he could only agree.

In fact, Song Yan's request is not difficult to handle, whether it is formalities or follow-up work, Chen Zhi can easily solve it, but he has to deal with Song Yan, which gives him a little headache.

"Brother Shutu doesn't have to be so restrained. Song Yan patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "In the future, we will still have a chance to deal with each other, maybe there will be a chance to learn." ”

Song Yan really wanted to find a chance to fight with Chen Zhi, maybe through such a fight, he would have the opportunity to touch the threshold of the grandmaster.

The corners of Chen Zhi's mouth twitched slightly, and he coughed lightly to change the topic: "After a martial artist joins the Shenwu Hall, he will have some rights and obligations, so I will introduce them to Gongzi." ”

Song Yan's process of joining Shenwutang is very simple, he only needs to register once, because he has Wen Yiqi as an introducer. Even in the Shenwu Hall, the grandmaster is also an extremely weighty existence.

It's just that when this product was registered, the strength column directly filled in the "Punch Jin Dan Kick Grandmaster", so that Chen Zhi didn't know whether to hand it over or not.

"There are regular lectures by the Grandmaster in the Shenwu Hall, and all disciples can go to listen to the lectures. At the same time, there will also be some pills and weapons for sale in the hall, and the disciples can directly use the silver taels to buy, and the price will be lower than that of the outside world, but these are limited. ”

Chen Zhi paused for a moment, and then continued: "The disciples of the Shenwu Hall are also in the military, and there will be some tasks promulgated in the hall, and those who complete the tasks or contribute to the hall can be rewarded for military merits. ”

Song Yan couldn't help but nod slightly when he heard this, military merit was actually his goal to join the Shenwu Hall.

"I heard that in the Shenwu Hall, you can get the cultivation method of the Shenhai Realm?" Song Yanruo asked casually.

Chen Zhi didn't think about it, the foreign martial artists who could come to the Shenwu Hall would be strange if they were not interested in this matter, and he continued: "Not bad. As long as your military rank reaches more than 10,000 households, you can exchange your military merits for the exercises of the Shenhai Realm. ”

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, the military, the Liumen, the Ministry of Supervision, the Shenwutang, the Wuyuan and other armed institutions all used the same set of military rank system, that is, the military chief, the chief, the hundred, the thousand households, the ten thousand households seven, and so on.

The reason why it is said to be the seventh class is because the last thousand households and ten thousand households are divided into principal and deputy positions, and if the ten thousand households are placed in the army, it is at least a general-level position, and those who have made great contributions will even be awarded in advance.

After ten thousand households, the various routes began to diverge, such as military personnel who continued to make meritorious contributions could be awarded decorations and marquis, and Shenwutang was promoted to deacons, and so on.

"It's a bit far. Song Yan couldn't help but shake his head slightly, although the goal was far away, it was a hope. Compared with the major sects, which all depend on the mind of the master, Shenwutang at least has a clear system.

After thinking for a moment, Song Yan looked at Chen Zhi again and said, "If I pull Shenwutang to a income-generating project, can it be counted as a meritorious performance?"

"Generate revenue?"

"It's to help the church make money. ”

"Do you mean donations? According to the rules, it can't be counted as credit. Chen Zhi didn't understand that Shenwutang usually didn't have any profit-making projects, and there were a lot of donations from all sides, but this was definitely not a military merit.

Military merit is generally a work of hard work, such as cooperating with the army to defend against foreign enemies, or cooperating with the six doors to capture key criminals, these are considered meritorious services.

"No, no, no, it's not donating money. Song Yan waved his hand again and again, "For example, I can help the hall earn 10,000 taels of silver every month, but if it weren't for me, I wouldn't have earned 10,000 taels. ”

Just kidding, if he really pays a tribute of 350,000 taels to Shenwutang every month, in addition to winning over a big backstage, Song Yan will have to make some other benefits.

At least in the Shenwu Hall, this credit must be shared, this is called one fish and two eats, and I will pay tribute to myself.

"This ......" Da Zhou's business is not developed, Chen Zhi really has never encountered this situation, thought for a while and said, "I'll go and inquire, and I'll give Gongzi an answer later." ”

Song Yan has nothing to do, and Chen Zhi has been gone for most of the hour, but fortunately, Song Yan is not in a hurry, just drinking tea here and waiting.

Nearly an hour later, Chen Zhi returned here, followed by Wen Yiqi, whose face was dark.

After seeing Song Yan, Wen Yiqi couldn't help but say: "What Hongwen said is to create a ...... for Shenwutang Generate income, can it refer to the previous appraisal fee?"

"Exactly. Song Yan didn't look embarrassed, and said with a smile, "The income of tens of thousands of taels per month is not a small amount of money, so this credit Shibo shouldn't compete with the students, right?"

"What am I doing with you to take this credit?" Wen Yiqi said angrily, "You clearly said before that this is a cooperation ......"

"It's me as a businessman who cooperates with Shenwutang. Song Yan interrupted him, "At the same time, as a disciple of the Shenwu Hall, I am a matchmaker for secular businessmen to generate income for the hall, isn't this a merit?"

Wen Yiqi was speechless for a while, always feeling that something was wrong, but there seemed to be nothing wrong.

Chen Zhi still said in a round beside him: "The Council of Elders has agreed to Gongzi's request, and this example will be used in the future, and others can also make meritorious contributions with income generation." However, the same thing can only be credited once, and it must not be repeated. ”

There was actually an elders' meeting, no wonder it took so long...... Song Yan nodded contentedly and asked, "Then calculated in this way, my income this time is counted as a military merit, what kind of military position can I get?"

The use of military merits is based on personal wishes, and the Great Zhou does not have particularly strict restrictions in this regard, and the promotion of military ranks is of course a basic operation.

In the army, there are also cases of offsetting merits and demerits from time to time, and there are even those who use military merits to give their comrades who break the law to their lives, and the military can actually recognize it, which can only be said that the feudal era and the rule of law society are different.

Chen Zhi and Wen Yiqi glanced at each other, but the latter said helplessly: "If you can really have an income of more than 30,000 taels per month as you said, with this merit alone, you can be promoted to the position of centurion." ”

From scratch, directly jumping three levels in a row, even in the army, it is quite an exaggerated promotion.

But Wen Yiqi also had to admit that compared to the income of nearly 400,000 taels of silver a year, a mere centurion was nothing at all.

Song Yan couldn't help but smile, took Wen Yiqi's hand and said, "Thank you Shibo for cultivating, Shibo is very kind, the student is really toothless and unforgettable......"

It's a grandmaster anyway, and he can't cross the river and tear down the bridge too obviously.

Wen Yiqi couldn't say anything more, so he had to say: "No matter how much credit you make, you have to wait for your silver to arrive, when will your bookstore open? ”

Old man Wen is really a kind person, although he feels that he has been put on the table by Song Yan, but he is still willing to support things such as spreading martial arts for the benefit of the country and the people, and looking at the overall situation, it is not comparable to villains like Song Yan.

Song Yan naturally welcomed it, and looked at Chen Zhi again: "As long as Brother Shutu can recruit workers as soon as possible, in ten days at most, the first bookstore selling martial arts in Da Zhou will be able to open." ”

It's a good thing after all, Wen Yiqi didn't bother with him, there was a smile on his face, and he asked: "The bookstore that sells martial arts is too tongue-twisting, has the name of your store been decided?"

Song Yan immediately said righteously: "The student's move is not for selfishness, not for profit, but for everyone in the world to have a book to read, and everyone to practice......

"In my opinion, the name of this shop is ...... Buwu Pavilion!"
