Each project term is written with exceptional clarity, avoiding any ambiguous wordplay. Moreover, all risks are explicitly elucidated in the clause’s notes.
The officials even carefully explain the risks involved, urging subscribers to consider thoroughly.
This earnest and responsible attitude ultimately convinced the sixth and seventh-grade noble families, who were already quite interested, to decide to subscribe to shares within their ans.
These scattered shares offered to fifth, sixth, and seventh-grade noble families account for approximately 20% of the total shares, divided into two thousand stocks, each stock representing one ten-thousandth of the total shares.
Nevertheless, even a single share represents a significant investnt for a seventh-grade noble family, as it implies an annual contribution of two thousand Qian Gold and a continuous investnt over two hundred years, totaling four hundred thousand Qian Gold.
Additionally, purchasing a share requires ten Qi Refining Realm cultivators and one Spirit Platform Realm cultivator to join the pioneering team.
For an ordinary seventh-grade noble family, coming up with four hundred thousand Qian Gold at once can be quite taxing, but spreading it over two hundred years considerably eases the burden. The more troubleso aspect is providing cultivators to the United Departnt, but upon careful consideration, if they rotate every ten years, it’s not entirely unfeasible.
It’s unavoidable; seventh-grade noble families hold a very low status in Gui Long City.
In this city full of High Gates, seventh-grade noble families find it extrely difficult to survive independently. To avoid getting squeezed out, the simplest way is to attach themselves to high-grade noble families, resulting in nearly half the seventh-grade noble families in Gui Long City being vassals to High Gates, with the better ones being semi-vassals, always having to keep a low profile in their daily lives.
Moreover, it is much more challenging for seventh-grade noble families in Gui Long City to upgrade their rank compared to local powerful clans.
Nevertheless, there are benefits to being a seventh-grade noble family in Gui Long City, the greatest being a stable life with a strong sense of security. As long as they cling tightly to their main family, avoid courting death, and refrain from causing trouble, they can generally continue on for a thousand to two thousand years, with so even having an amazing legacy of four to five thousand years.
Unlike those local powerful clans that often experience a wave of power transitions every few centuries, very few seventh-grade noble families can survive for a millennium. Those who do are mostly upgraded to sixth-grade noble families.
Now, an opportunity to break through class solidification is right in front of them, with not much risk involved. Even the seventh-grade noble families in Gui Long City, who have long been living a comfortable life, are willing to fight for the sake of their descendants.
Moreover, Prince Anjun said that it doesn’t involve taking sides in the struggle of the imperial sons; it is purely a comrcial venture. Even if he were to lose in the current struggle of the imperial sons, it would not hinder their ability to make profits.
With the assurance of subsequent benefits, naturally, more noble families are willing to invest. Many strong seventh-grade noble families, after family discussions, decide to sell so fixed assets to subscribe for two or three shares.
"Seventh-grade noble family of West City District, Li Family, subscribes for one share."
"Seventh-grade noble family of West City District, Wang Family, subscribes for two shares."
"Seventh-grade noble family of North City District..."
"Sixth-grade noble family of East City District, Gongsun Family, subscribes for twelve shares."
"Sixth-grade noble family of South City District, Chen Family, subscribes for ten shares."
"Gui Long Fifth-Grade Noble Family, Xu Family, subscribes for one hundred shares."
"Gui Long Fifth-Grade Noble Family, Wan Family, subscribes for one hundred ten shares..."
According to the subscription contract, sixth-grade noble families must subscribe to at least ten shares and contribute a Celestial Human Realm expert for periodic service. Otherwise, the United Departnt will not include them in the venture.
For fifth-grade noble families, a minimum of one hundred shares is required, in addition to contributing several Celestial Human Realm cultivators and an Ancestor of the Purple Mansion. However, constant service is not necessary; only 40% of the ti is required.
Each noble family’s subscription is announced loudly by a dedicated person, widely informing others.
There are nurous fifth, sixth, and seventh-grade noble families in Gui Long City, and when all their financial resources are combined, it constitutes a rather formidable amount. The re two thousand shares, in fact, cannot fully satisfy their appetite.
As soon as the first subscriber appeared, many noble families imdiately realized that failure to rush in and buy might cause them to miss the opportunity.
In these circumstances, with more demand and less supply, these re two thousand scattered shares were declared sold out within just ten days, leaving many families who hadn’t yet gathered the necessary funds or were still hesitating filled with regret.
At the sa ti, the eight fourth-grade noble families in Gui Long City also fell in quick succession. With the stronger of the fourth-grade noble families, Shangguan Family, taking the lead to stand out and subscribe for 3% of the shares, the remaining seven could not sit still for long, and soon four of them subscribed for 2% of the shares.
Adding to the 2% shares already stated by Prince Heng, the total subscribed shares now reached 33%.

anwhile.
In "Zhuozheng Pavilion" within the Imperial City.
The aged and feeble Emperor Longchang was uncharacteristically sowhat angry.
A thick stack of morials lay piled on the desk in front of him, all impeaching Prince Anjun, and all reviewed by the Inner Pavilion before being sent.
"Ridiculous, utterly ridiculous." Emperor Longchang cursed angrily, "Wu Mingyuan is supposedly one of the only two quasi-crown princes, yet he’s out there shirtless engaging with that Wang Zong’an and... Old Yao, what do they call it again?"
The eunuch, Old Yao, bowed his head and softly reminded, "Prince Anjun said it’s called a ’roadshow,’ aid at seeking ’angel investors’ with exceptional vision."
