In addition to Tianji Sect and Cang Sheng Mountain, Wanyuan Sect and Ming Ye Pavilion, which are established in martial arts, belong to the martial arts world.
Although they are both forces created by force, they are different.
Wanyuan Sect is known as a well-known and upright sect, and its mission is to punish evil, promote good and support justice, so it has greater reputation and power.
Ming Ye Pavilion is more spontaneous and does things based on preference. All the killers in the pavilion are highly skilled in martial arts. As long as Ming Ye Pavilion takes over the task, they never fail. The master of the pavilion is also honored as Hades.
Although the two forces dislike each other and occasionally have minor frictions, they have never had any major conflicts.
If people in the world have a respectful impression of Wanyuan Sect, they are more afraid of Mingye Pavilion.
The next step is to rely on abundant funds to become famous in the world. The Xue family, the largest salt merchant, and the largest grain store have become the same family.
The Xue family is the richest man and an imperial merchant in Tianchu. The taxes they pay to Tianchu every year account for more than half of all taxes. More than 30% of the money in Tianchu's treasury is earned by the Xue family, so although the Xue family is a businessman , the imperial court gave him an official title from a first-class official to a serious official and businessman. Although he had no real power, most of the people he interacted with were high-ranking officials and dignitaries, which can be said to be an honor.
The Qi family is the largest grain store. Although it is not as good as the Xue family, it is still the pillar industry of Tianchu, and it often interacts with dignitaries.
The Xue and Qi families were extremely wealthy. Although they had no power, their money provided a way for them to serve them in the court and in the world. They were considered a very powerful force.
Looking at the court, the largest number of military personnel are undoubtedly the Gu family, the Han family, and the Yue family.
The Gu family army was under the command of Lin Jinyan's grandfather Gu Hongzhang. The Gu family had been in the army for generations and guarded the northern border of Tianchu. The more than 300,000 Gu family army was the most elite army in Tianchu. His majesty personally appointed Gu Hongzhang as the general of Dingbei and ranked among the three princes.
General Han Yaohui, the head of the Han family, is the uncle of the third prince Chu Chengye. He has 200,000 troops under his command to guard the western border of Tianchu.
General Pingnan Yue Jianlin, the head of the Yue family, has 150,000 troops under his command to guard the southern border of Tianchu.
Then there are the garrisons from various places to protect the safety of the country. The most is the capital city of Tai'an, with 30,000 city guards and 20,000 imperial guards in the palace.
There are also 50,000 Ding'an troops stationed near the royal hunting grounds a hundred miles east of Tai'an City. The Ding'an troops, city guards and imperial guards are directly under the jurisdiction of the royal family. In addition to the fixed commander, the princes take turns supervising the defense changes.
Lin Jinyan frowned and thought: In her previous life, she was an example of a noble girl from a noble family, and she studied music, chess, calligraphy, and painting as a female red housekeeper. We only know the general situation about these forces that everyone knows, but we don't know the details. These forces are so intertwined that any careless contact will arouse people's suspicion. Where should I start?
While I was deep in thought, a head appeared outside the window: "Yan'er, why are you so dazed?"
Lin Jinyan suddenly came back to her senses and saw Lin Jin'an with her hair tied in two buns, her hair falling on her shoulders, holding the window frame with both hands and looking at her with a puzzled expression.
Lin Jinyan smiled when she saw such a young and cute brother, and remembered all the things in her previous life and couldn't help but blush.
Seeing this scene, Lin Jinan looked panicked: "Are you going to laugh or cry? You don't dare to cry anymore. Last time you cried so much that you had a high fever for two days. Did my brother scare you?"
Lin Jinyan sniffed, suppressed her emotions, stood up and smiled, "I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you. Why didn't you call me when you entered the yard? I didn't even know you were here."
Lin Jinan: "How long has it been? I came to see you yesterday, but you didn't answer me when I came in and called several times."
Lin Jinyan smiled and asked Lin Jinan to come into the house and went to greet him at the door.
