Voyager 3 Why am I not a nobleman?

Being a member of parliament or a nobleman is not determined by money alone. Councillors' total assets are 500,000 yuan, and nobles 1 10,000 yuan (including your house, factory, motorcade and other properties). You can gain prestige by doing more high-demand transactions, maintain the demand for goods in your hometown and quickly enhance your local reputation. You can also enhance the reputation of Hanseatic League by eliminating pirates and discovering new trade zones.

It needs a certain reputation and funds to achieve it. If you reach the mayor because of high prestige under the condition of insufficient funds, you will not have a chance to obtain the title of nobility. My experience is that trade, prestige and capital are all growing, and I will soon become an aristocrat.
