Chapter 59: Chen Family’s Results
Translator: 549690339
Chen Yang was quite far from Yi City. By the time he arrived at the Prefecture Overseer’s mansion, all the aristocratic families in Jiang Prefecture had arrived.
After everyone had arrived, the Prefecture Overseer of Jiang Prefecture walked up to the stage from behind the screen.” Everyone, you have given me enough face by coming here despite your busy schedule. I am here to thank you all.”
“Greetings, Prefecture Overseer.” The Prefecture Overseer of the Jiang Prefecture was the ruler of the Jiang Prefecture in name. These family heads did not dare to slack off.
After the two sides finished greeting each other, the Prefecture Overseer continued,””Presumably, before everyone came here, you already know the reason. Then I won’t be long-winded and invite the De Shun Commandery Prince.”
Upon hearing this, all the family heads stood up. When another person walked out from behind the screen, they shouted in unison,”Greetings, Deshun Commandery Prince!”
“Everyone, please excuse the formalities.” Deshun Commandery Prince waved his hand slightly, and Chen Yang and the others felt a force dragging them.
Surrounded by this power, everyone subconsciously straightened their backs.
“Everyone, sit down and continue.” Deshun Commandery Prince waved his hand again. This time, the force wrapped around Chen Yang and the others, pressing them down on their seats.
In just two short sentences, the Dcshun Commandery Prince gave everyone a show of strength. Yet this display of power, the Deshun Commandery Prince did not even lose his temper.
All of a sudden, Chen Yang and the other family heads became even more fearful of the Deshun Commandery Prince. They all sat in their seats obediently and did not dare to move.
“Everyone, relax. The next matter will be beneficial to you.”
The Deshun Commandery Prince smiled as he swept his gaze across the heads of the various aristocratic families. Then, he sat at the head of the table and clapped his hands.
Immediately, a few more people walked out from behind the screen. These people all held many yellowed books in their hands and stood motionlessly beside the Deshun Commandery Prince.
“I’m sure everyone already knows that I want to reward everyone. Of course, it was impossible to reward them equally.”
“What I mean is that the aristocratic families will be ranked according to their contributions to the demon wave this time, and then rewarded according to the ranking.”
” As for the standard of contribution…” At this point, Deshun Prince deliberately stopped and kept her in suspense.
All the family heads also focused their gazes on Deshun Commandery Prince’s face, curious about the criteria for the reward.
Taking in the gazes and expressions of all the family heads, the Deshun Commandery Prince did not seem to be bothered on the surface, but he was still quite satisfied in his heart.
After ignoring the aristocratic families for a while, the Deshun Commandery Prince continued,”The standard of assessment is how many Da Qian citizens are left within the sphere of influence of each aristocratic family in this demon wave.”
“Everyone might think that it’s unfair. After all, an Eighth-rank Aristocratic Family controls a large territory, so naturally, more people will survive.”
“Don’t worry about this. The rewards for the eighth and ninth ranks will be given separately. Among them, the comparison was between the Eighth-rank aristocratic families and the comparison was between the Nineth-rank aristocratic families.”
“Moreover, the total value of the rewards given by an eighth and ninth rank aristocratic family is equal. As for the rewards for each ranking, that’s up to everyone to see.”
Then, Deshun Commandery Prince clapped his hands again. Immediately, another group of people walked out from the screen.
Each of them held a pile of yellow paper in their hands. On the paper were written the rewards that could be obtained for each ranking.
After distributing the yellow paper to the various aristocratic families, the Deshun Commandery Prince was not in a hurry to speak. Instead, he waited for everyone to see the rewards before speaking.
The moment the family heads received the yellow paper, the hall was filled with gasps.
The Patriarchs of the aristocratic families all fell into a daze.
There was nothing he could do. The rewards written on this yellow paper were too heavy. A rough estimation was that the rewards of the eighth and ninth rank would add up to 200,000 spirit stones.
Even an Eighth-rank Aristocratic Family would not be able to take out so many Spirit Stones, yet they had all been given to them.
However, in the next moment, the expressions on the faces of the various family heads were different.
Especially the Song family head. When he thought about how the standard of judgment was actually those worthless people, his expression turned ugly.
In order to resist the demon tide, the Song family did not push those useless people out as cannon fodder.
The Song Family Head believed that the other aristocratic families had done the same.
However, in order to ease the regret of ignoring the Chen family’s information, the Song family wanted to retain more of their strength, but even women, children, and children were pushed forward.
The number of Great Gan commoners under the Song Clan’s influence had decreased significantly.
A sense of pain arose in the Song family head’s heart. He had no choice but to comfort himself in his heart: “Forget it, forget it. Even if you’re the last, you’ll still receive more rewards than the other aristocratic families in Nanyang County.”
The Song Family Head was somewhat confident when he thought this way.
After all, if a ninth-rank aristocratic family wanted to obtain a reward that surpassed the last rank-eight, it had to be the first rank-nine.
The powerful families in Nanyang County were all close to the Endless Mountain Range, especially the Chen Family, which was less than a hundred miles away from the Endless Mountain Range.
At such a close distance, even if he had already known about it, he would have suffered heavy losses.
Thinking of this, Master Song felt much better.
“Everyone, I’m sure everyone already knows the reward. Alright, let’s start the reward round now.”
“When I sent you a letter to gather you here, I had already secretly sent people to investigate the remaining population of your faction.”
“Don’t worry, those people are all experienced scouts. Even though we can’t pinpoint the exact number of people, it’s not a problem to compare the size of you.”
“This is your ranking, as well as the number of people remaining in your faction.”
The Deshun Commandery Prince immediately nodded. The people who had previously stood on both sides of the Deshun Commandery Prince distributed the books in their hands to the aristocratic families.
The aristocratic families who received the booklet quickly searched for their names. If the ranking was high, they would smile in relief. If it was low, they would just sigh.
“How is this possible?” Master Song looked at the book in his hand in disbelief and could not help but exclaim.
Although the exclamation was very soft, it still attracted the attention of many people.
Even the Deshun Commandery Prince shifted his gaze to Master Song.” Master, is there a problem?”
Only then did Master Song react. Where was this place? How could he allow himself to be so impudent? He immediately knelt down and said,” I don’t dare. There’s no problem. I’m just a little shocked.’”‘
“Is your family’s ranking high or low?”The Duke of De Shun asked again.
“All… Neither.” Master Song braced himself.
“Neither? “Then what’s there to be surprised about? It seems that you still have doubts about your ranking. How about this? I’ll get someone to confront you later. We definitely won’t mistreat our Jiang State aristocratic families.”
“No, no, no.” Hearing that the Deshun Commandery Prince wanted to send someone to confront him, the Song Family Head’s eyes widened and he quickly waved his hand to deny it.
“It’s the Chen family. It’s the Chen family’s results that shocked me..”
