Chapter 1622 Identity Token and Difficulty
To be precise, this small city is not within the Central Territory, but is still within the Imperial Territory.
The permanent population of the small town is not large, no more than 10,000, and most of them are people from other domains.
As soon as Song Yan and his party entered the city, a group of people came to greet them.
"A temporary identity token, do you need it?"
"A temporary identity token can be obtained within three days!"
"Everyone, if you want to apply for a temporary identity token, you can contact me, Brother Zhou, and I can give you a discount!"
…………
Looking at the group of people who were applying for temporary identity tokens, Song Yan couldn't help but think of the people who inspected cars on behalf of the main world. It seemed that no matter which world they were in, there were people who were good at taking advantage of loopholes to make money.
Then, Song Yan raised his hand, and the agents who originally wanted to continue selling subconsciously closed their mouths.
Song Yan asked: "How long does it take to get a temporary identity token?"
"If you do it yourself, it will take at least a month to get it. If it is us, it will take up to ten and a half months, or up to three days!" an agent rushed to say.
Another agent added: "The officials in the Imperial Household Registration Department are notoriously lazy and evil-minded. If they are asked to do things without any benefit, it will cost them their lives!"
"That's right! Someone once had to wait for half a year to apply for a temporary identity token. Moreover, the date of the temporary identity token is calculated from the date of application. That is to say, the longer the delay, the longer you go to the central domain. The time will be shorter!”
Then, the group of agents started chatting and made Song Yan and others aware of many twists and turns in the Household Registration Department. According to them, the officials in these Household Registration Departments were all well-connected.
If you follow the procedures honestly, it will definitely delay you to apply for a temporary identity token. The reason for this is that they want to ask for benefits.
As for why these agents can quickly apply for temporary identity tokens, it is because they pay taxes to those officials, and they get a commission for every benefit.
For a temporary identity token, the Central Empire charges one million taels of gold, but the agency fee requires two hundred thousand taels of gold, which I have to say is very dark.
Such a high price also prevents ordinary warriors from entering the central domain.
After all, even ordinary Yuandan warriors can rarely get a million taels of gold.
Gold is nothing to Song Yan. In order to save time, he plans to find an agent.
"Brother Zhou Zhou, let's go find an inn and talk slowly!"
Song Yan said to the strong man with a beard who called himself Brother Zhou.
"Hey, okay, sir, please!"
Brother Zhou couldn't help but be overjoyed. As long as this business was completed, he would have an income of at least one hundred thousand taels of gold.
After arriving at the inn and taking a seat, Song Yan did not wait for Brother Zhou to speak before he said: "If you can get the temporary identity token in three days, I will give you a price of 250,000 taels of gold each. In two days, 300,000 Two, one day, five hundred thousand taels, if you can get it today, I will give you one million taels!"
"ah!"
Hearing the price quoted by Song Yan, Brother Zhou couldn't help but let out an exclamation, screaming in his heart.
After some exchanges, and after receiving a deposit of 500,000 taels of gold, Brother Zhou left in a hurry, and then returned within an hour.
"Mr. Chu, I have good news for you. I have already established a relationship with the deputy director of the Household Registration Department. Now, just follow me and let deputy director Wang personally apply for temporary identity tokens for you!"
"Brother Zhou is indeed very capable!"
Song Yan praised.
"No, thanks to the five hundred thousand taels of gold given by Master Chu!" Brother Zhou said meaningfully. In order to get through the relationship with Deputy Director Wang, he not only spent all the five hundred thousand taels of gold, but also I put in two hundred thousand taels.
But if he could get the temporary identity tokens of the seven Song Yan people, excluding the ones given to Deputy Director Wang, he would still earn more than one million taels of gold even after excluding the expenses.
The meeting place was not at the Household Registration Department, but at Deputy Director Wang's residence in this small town.
According to Brother Zhou Zhou, Deputy Director Wang will only stay here when he is on duty. Most of the time, he returns to the central region.
"I've met Director Wang. This is Mr. Chu and his friends!"
Brother Wednesday saluted a fat middle-aged man sitting on a chair holding a tea cup.
Deputy Director Wang raised his eyes casually and slowly glanced at Song Yan and his group. When he saw the faces of Wei Le and Ning Qiangwei clearly, his eyes couldn't help but squint slightly, and there was a faint flash of light.
"I've met Director Wang!"
Song Yan cupped his fists and saluted.
"Um!"
Deputy Director Wang responded harshly. He had no intention of letting Song Yan and others sit down. Instead, he picked up the tea and tasted it deliciously.
When brother Zhou Zhou saw this, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He carefully said with a smile: "Director Wang, what do you think about this?"
"You go out first, and I, the director, will come and talk to them in person!"
Deputy Director Wang glanced at Brother Zhou lightly and said.
Hearing this, Brother Zhou's face became extremely ugly. It seemed that Deputy Director Wang was planning to burn bridges and monopolize the agency fees. But he was just an ordinary person. Even if he knew that the other party wanted to monopolize it, there was nothing he could do.
"Still not leaving?"
Deputy Director Wang's face turned cold.
"Yes, I'll take my leave now!" Brother Zhou cursed in his heart and saluted Deputy Director Wang, and then left here with a look of loneliness on his face.
"Do you want to apply for a temporary identity token?"
Deputy Director Wang looked at Song Yan playfully and asked knowingly.
"Not bad!" Song Yan nodded.
"Then how much do you plan to pay?" Deputy Director Wang asked again.
Song Yan said again: "If you can get it today, I will give you one million taels of gold for each token!"
"You want to get a temporary identity token today even with a million taels of gold, you are so naive!" Deputy Director Wang sneered.
Song Yan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh, I wonder how much Director Wang wants?"
Deputy Director Wang smiled and raised a finger: "Ten million taels!"
Song Yan smiled and said: "Okay, as long as Director Wang can let us get the temporary identity token today, I will offer you 10 million taels of gold!"
But Deputy Director Wang shook his head sarcastically: "No, you misunderstood what I meant. I meant a temporary identity token worth ten million taels!"
"Why don't you go and grab it?"
Wei Suo couldn't help but speak.
Suddenly, Deputy Director Wang's face darkened, and he said slyly: "So what if I'm just robbing you? If you don't want to do it, get out of here. However, I'll put my words down. If you leave today, you'll be gone." Don’t even think about getting a temporary identity token!”
"You threaten us?"
Wei Suo shouted angrily.
"Yes, I am threatening you!" Deputy Director Wang said proudly.
Suddenly, Wei Suo was furious.
"Okay, I promise you!"
At this moment, Song Yan spoke again.
Hearing this, everyone else looked very surprised. They didn't expect that the other party would go so far and that their own young master would agree.
