0051 Local tycoon, let's be friends

(8,000-character chapter, book lovers, please rub your eyes when you are tired)

"I don't know what the emperor is looking for?" Guanyin Dashi smiled and stretched out his jade hand, motioning the queen to stand up.

"Guanyin Bodhisattva, the queen and I want to have a child, so I specially want to ask you for a dragon son to bless my Dragon Dynasty in the future." Ling Feng said to Guanyin.

"Send off? Can't you have children by yourself?" Guanyin Bodhisattva frowned slightly and asked Ling Feng doubtfully.

"Cough" Ling Feng coughed dryly, gently came to Guanyin Bodhisattva's ear, and said to her, "It's not that you don't know. I'm just attached to this body. Unexpectedly, this emperor's 'that' is not good, so I have to ask Guanyin for help."

"So that's it." Guan Shiyin held the jade bottle in his hand, covered his mouth and said with a smile, "Then do you want to have a boy or a girl? Do you know that I happen to have good goods in my hand. Wenquxing and Wuquxing are down to the earth. I will give you a 20% discount for your sake."

"Look at my face?"

Ling Feng naturally knew that she was not referring to the face of the 'emperor', but to the face of Lord Ling, but why did he have to pay for giving birth to a child? He couldn't help asking doubtfully,

"Have all Guanyin Bodhisattvas always do good deeds? Why do you have to pay a fee for having a child?

"Alas" Guan Shiyin sighed and said, "Lord Ling will not be a fool as an official in hell. What do you do these days for free? In order to have a baby for you, I have to go to the West Heavenly Bliss World in person. You know that it is Wenquxing and Wuquxing coming down to the earth. It's not an ordinary thing.... Only when you have money can you get the birth permit.

"Do you still need a birth permit?" Ling Feng asked.

"Nonsense, you are not allowed to give birth. Do you dare to have children indiscriminately? My Wenquxing and Wuquxing are both products of the Buddha world. They are born with wisdom. If you decide, I will report to the Buddha and send you a son. Guan Shiyin said.

"I have said so much. Do you want to have children or not?"

"Yes, of course." Ling Feng said firmly.

"That's easy to do. Think clearly whether to give birth to a boy or a girl. If you want to give birth to a boy, you need 1 million taels of gold, and if you want to give birth to a girl, you need 2 million taels of gold." Guan Shiyin said.

"Famn it, it's so expensive." Ling Feng couldn't help opening his eyes wide and shouting that although I am the emperor now, I am also a little short of time recently.

Seeing that Ling Feng made such a surprised move, and she was still a poor emperor, she couldn't help turning her head to one side. The queen next to her quickly stood up and said in Ling Feng's ear,

"Your Majesty, it's not expensive,"

"How is it not expensive?" Ling Feng couldn't help but be angry. He shook his sleeves and said, "It takes one million taels of gold to give birth to a boy. Besides, why is it twice as expensive to give birth to a girl than a boy?"

"Hey, Your Majesty, it's not that you don't know that our Dragon Empire now has more men and fewer women, so it has created a situation where men and women are expensive. Therefore, the price of the girl goes straight up, which is also a market economy. I think this price is quite reasonable. The queen hurriedly attached to Ling Feng's ear and opened her side.

"But now there are only five million taels of gold left in my treasury. How can I raise three daughters?" Ling Feng listened to what the queen said and frowned.

The queen listened to Ling Feng's words and also knew that the royal family also had royal difficulties. The court officials had to be raised, the imperial concubines had to be raised, and the maids and the eunuchs had to be paid every month, but the children had to be not needed, so she continued to understand,

"Your Majesty, we are indeed a little short of money at present. Although the gift Guanyin opened his mouth and asked for five million taels of gold, the child is the future of the motherland after all. If you think about it, five million yuan can be exchanged for two princesses, a prince, worth it!"

"Now, the two sisters, Concubine Wu and Concubine Wen, have no children. It's better for your majesty to give these two noble princesses to them. As for the concubine, I'm satisfied that I'm willing to have the cheapest one million taels of gold to have a son."

Ling Feng didn't expect the queen to be so generous. Hearing what she said was so touching, he quickly took her jade hand in his arms and said movedly,

"The queen is so modest and good, benevolent, knows how to advance and retreat, and knows general knowledge. It is really the blessing of my Great Dragon Dynasty."

The queen smiled gently and said, "I just want to share my worries for your majesty."

Ling Feng was quite moved, but the queen knew how to be courteous. He gently patted the queen on the shoulder and said gently, "I will rely on you, the prince will give it to you, and the two princesses will be given to Concubine Wen and Concubine Wu respectively."

Business is concluded. Guanyin Bodhisattva squeezed his mouth, but his heart was full of joy. "These two seconds, hee, whether they are princesses or princes, are all from the Western world of bliss and are born with wisdom."

"This business is really great." Guan Shiyin turned around and praised. This time, he not only successfully planted the power of the Buddha world in the Dragon Empire, but also asked the stupid emperor for five million taels of gold, which was really killing two birds with one stone.

Thinking of this, Guanyin Bodhisattva drove the auspicious cloud to the Western Bliss. She wanted to report to the Buddha and send a disciple who was single-minded to the Buddha to take charge of the imperial power of the world!

However, the queen is really cunning. Although the princess is delicate, she will always marry in the future. Although the prince is cheap, she will eventually be the master of the future world.

......

After one month.

There was indeed great good news from the palace. The queen was pregnant, and one after another, Wen Shufei and Wu Defei were also pregnant. Ling Feng hereby informs the world, amnesties the world, in order to show the emperor's kindness, celebrate with the people, and set up a special banquet to entertain the courtiers.

The emperor held a banquet in person. Who dares not come? However, Ling Feng also had his own ideas and concerns, so he found Li Wei, the head of the palace.

"Weichen Li Wei congratulates the emperor and is happy with the dragon descendants. I don't know if your majesty is looking for Weichen. What do you have to do?" Li Wei, the commander of Da Nei, walked into the imperial study and paid homage to Ling Feng.

Ling Feng listened to the voice behind him. He turned around and saw Li Wei in brocade clothes. He smiled and said to Li Wei, "Li Wei, I'm going to hold a banquet in the Taihe Hall tomorrow to celebrate with the officials of the court. I don't know what gifts you have for me?"

"Well, I know that Your Majesty is gentle and elegant, so I specially present a poem to Your Majesty." Li Wei got up and replied, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and presented it to His Majesty.

Ling Feng took a look at it. It was crooked and he didn't know what to say. He roughly glanced at the text on it. Naturally, he was not in the mood to see Li Wei's writings. He simply put the paper on the table and continued to say to Li Wei,

"What else?"

"And?" Li Wei's eyes turned and didn't know what the emperor said.

"Alas, this Li Wei is really stupid as an official." Ling Feng thought in his heart, why did he read his poems when he had nothing to do? Naturally, he had a different purpose in setting up this banquet.

The Guanyin Bodhisattva took away his five million taels of gold. Of course, the money will be recovered in the name of a banquet. He didn't pay attention to Li Wei's compliment. Anyway, he didn't care about the false reputation of the emperor or not. The key is to make enough money for the child's milk powder in the future.

But Li Wei's move is exactly what Ling Feng is worried about.

Since the last time he begged for rain for the people in the north of the city and called the Dragon King of the East China Sea, he has offended the ministers of the court all the time and made those guys bleed fiercely. However, since then, every time these guys go to the early morning, they have deliberately dressed up as poor.

What's more, he came to the court wearing clothes with unknown patches.

At this banquet, these guys may have to dance in front of them again, not to mention free meals, and refuse to take out the money to show their integrity.

"Li Wei, what do you think I do to you?" Ling Feng put away his mind and said solemnly to Li Wei.

"This" Li Wei lowered his head and touched his conscience and said to Ling Feng, "Weichen used to be just a street beggar. Only by the emperor's kindness can he have today's glory and wealth.... In this life, if the emperor needs it, I am willing to go to the knife mountain and go to the oil pot for your majesty, go through fire and water, and never hesitate to do it!"

Li Wei Gong said at the watch, but Ling Feng disdained it. He turned to smile and said,

"But it's not as serious as you said. Tomorrow, I will hold a banquet in the Taihe Hall, and all civil and military officials will be present, but I'm worried that these guys will refuse to follow the party, so you know." Ling Feng squinted and motioned to Li Wei.

"Your Majesty, does ... mean to let Weichen be entrusted?" Li Wei suddenly understood and immediately said, "I will live up to the emperor's expectations."

......

On a sunny morning, the willow wind blows gently. Today is a good day.

Ling Feng sat on the throne of the high golden dragon chair early, and the tiger's eyes glanced below. The courtiers entered in turn to congratulate, but most of them wore coarse cloth clothes to show their integrity. What's more, he also wore patched trousers.

The guests invited by Ling Feng this time are not only important ministers of the court, but also civil and military officials. In order to increase the income of this banquet, even local representatives, county magistrates and village heads of all districts and counties also came to express their congratulations. Li Wei had already guarded the entrance. There was a table next to him, holding a pen in one hand, recording the people attending the banquet.

Sure enough, as Ling Feng expected, most of these officials were dressed in shabby clothes. The good ones were three taels and five taels of silver, and some with seven taels or eight taels of silver, and some of them simply swaggered in without the money.

Seeing that this banquet cost a huge amount of money from the treasury, more than 20,000 cooks were invited, and 800,000 taels of silver was spent on the purchase of ingredients alone. Ling Feng also transferred the maids in the palace for this reason and ordered them to stand on both sides to act as welcome beauties.

"If it goes on like this, not only can't the money be recovered, but also lose money!" Ling Feng thought anxiously. It's also because the emperor's unlucky enough. Since Ling Feng crossed and attached to him, he found that this guy was so poor that only the empty name of the emperor was left. Many things needed to be done by himself, otherwise the wives in the palace could not be supported.

You know, there are three thousand beautiful women in your harem. That is to say, you have to support three thousand wives, not counting their monthly rouge gouache money. This is not to mention every month, but also to pay the palace maids and eunuchs, as well as the security guards who are responsible for guarding the palace.

In order to feed the family of the palace, Ling Fengguang is the monthly expenditure, and it needs 20 to 30 million taels of silver. In this way, I, the emperor, should be miserable enough.

The monthly income can only go out. If it goes on like this, it won't be long before the emperor will go bankrupt. Ling Feng suddenly became anxious. He winked at the chief bodyguard Li Wei and saw Li Wei put down his pen in his hand, walked to the emperor, raised his voice and said,

"Li Wei, the chief of the internal bodyguard, congratulated the emperor on winning the emperor's dragon descendants. He specially offered 10,000 taels of gold and 100,000 taels of silver to congratulate the emperor's great kindness and enjoy the people."

Seeing a good play he played, Ling Feng said hurriedly and kindly, "Li Aiqing, calm up quickly!"

He turned around for fear that the ministers would not hear clearly, so he deliberately raised his voice and said in front of the ministers,

"Lord Li is worthy of being my loyal minister and worthy of commendation. Since taking office, Lord Li Wei has worked diligently and conscientiously every day. He has never been late and left work early. His careful work performance is outstanding. I will make you the leader of the inner world, also the chief minister, and specially gave Shangfang a sword, and reward a yellow horse coat!"

"Damn it, gift-giving can be good!"

"Listen to it. You can also add an official to the title of gift-giving. Oh, this is good."

As soon as Ling Feng's words fell, the ministers and officials of the whole square began to talk about it one after another. Ling Feng swept his eyes, and he couldn't help but feel complacent and returned to his dragon chair throne, waiting to collect money.

"Weichen, congratulations to the emperor for winning the dragon descendant, special gift, 8,000 taels of silver." An old man came up and said in a deliberately loud voice, for fear that the emperor would not hear him.

"Weichen, congratulations to the emperor on the dragon descent, special gift, 50,000 taels of silver as a congratulatory gift." The young servant was not willing to show weakness and hurried forward and said.

"Weichen, congratulations to the emperor for winning the dragon descendants and offering a small gift of 500,000 taels of silver as a congratulatory gift." Zhang Xian, the servant of the Ministry of War, immediately pushed the banquet to **.

"Weichen, one million taels..." Ling Feng frowned with joy and watched more and more courtiers come forward to offer gifts. It felt like he was participating in an auction.

Hey hey, didn't these old and cunning things have no money just now? Just now, I was still wearing patched coarse cloth clothes. Why did I become so rich in a blink of an eye?

"It seems that now officials have become low-key and dressed in rags, which does not mean that they have no money, just like these ministers;

However, well-dressing doesn't mean that you must have money, just like your own emperor, who looks very shiny on the surface, but in fact, it's just swollen and fat. Ling Feng thought to his heart.

"Weichen, three million taels..."

"Weichen, five million taels..."

"Weichen, 10 million taels..."

Ling Feng looked at these guys donating to him with satisfaction. He almost couldn't close his mouth with laughter. He just hoped that the meal could be opened later, and it was best to continue until the evening. Let's starve these old men first.

Although Ling Feng thought so in his heart and was committed to the emperor's dream and the dream of getting rich, he was actually not really stupid in his heart.

Although his major is to catch monsters and dead ghosts, and he doesn't know anything about how to do a good job as an emperor, he hasn't really reached the point of being a 'smad king'. While looking at the enthusiastic guys below, he took notes from the little plum next to him.

It is an advantage to write down these donors. You can not only take back the capital of the banquet and save enough milk powder money for the future princes and princesses, but also find out who the corrupt official is in this way. You should know that the salary of normal officials is not so much.

After all, I just said that I would 'consider' and do it for their officials. 'Consider' is possible, of course, it may not. In short, who knows not.

"Weichen is willing to offer 13 million taels."

"Weichen is willing to offer 20 million taels."

"I,... I'm willing to offer five million taels..." A thin and turbid voice suddenly attracted the attention of the courtiers. They turned their eyes one after another, thinking in their hearts. Everyone is getting more and more. How can he come out less and less? It's really outrageous.

Ling Feng was also attracted by the turbid and old voice. He came to his senses from his thoughts and looked at the man. He saw an old man in a gray cloth. His thin figure was thin but his eyes were clear and bright. At the age of 50 or 60, he had a white goatee, not like an official, but like a farmer.

"Why did he call himself 'I' instead of 'Weichen'? Is it true that he is really a farmer, not a minister of the court?" Ling Feng thought that in order to increase the income of the banquet this time, he posted a wide post and sincerely invited the world's rich people to gather here.

"Your Majesty is magnificent, and now he is happy to get the dragon descendants, which is really the blessing of our dragon emperor's country, ... The old man is willing to use five million taels of gold and 95 million taels of silver as a gift, without asking for any official position in return!" The old man said lightly.

Sig~

When the ministers heard this, they all couldn't help taking a breath of cold air, "Five million taels of gold! Also, add 9,500 taels of silver, as a congratulatory gift, doesn't this just show the honor of your majesty's ninety-five-five today?

Ling Feng also suddenly felt happy and couldn't control the joy in his heart. He felt that his whole body was much more cheerful and younger.

"Tycoon, let's be friends."

He immediately stood up from the throne of the dragon chair, walked to the old man, took his hand and said.

Of course, Ling Feng didn't say this sentence. At most, he just stayed in his heart and thought about it. He still couldn't suppress the ecstasy in his heart. With the help of Xiao Li next to him, he got up and came to the farmer and said to him happily,

"Do you dare to ask this old uncle's name?"

When the farmer saw His Majesty coming in person, he fell down and knelt down respectfully and said,

"Your Majesty, the old farmer is the village head of Niutou Mountain, Niu Bi, just because he received the good news from the emperor, I came to congratulate him."

Ling Feng was very happy to hear the words, but he didn't expect that the village head of our big country was a 'great pen'. He quickly picked up the cow pen, the village head of Niutou Mountain, from the ground and ordered the waiter beside him to give the old man a seat to sit next to him. In this way, it is also a good example for the officials.

Niu Pen was moved by a mess and cried bitterly because the emperor gave him the seat in person, but Ling Feng didn't care about it. He just gave him a chair. This guy gave him five million taels of gold and 95 million taels of white silver. This deal was worth it!

Ling Feng also ordered Grandpa Li to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone. He personally danced a few words on the white paper and gave it to him, "The village head's pen. These words are signed by me. Please always laugh and accept them."

Niu Bi took the book with tears. With the handwriting signed by the emperor himself today, he knelt down and said, "Thank you for the words given by the emperor. The old farmer will take it back and show it to the villagers. He will definitely feel that his ancestors have glory and face."

Ling Feng chatted with him a few more times and gave him a position by the way, but Ling Feng thought that he really didn't ask for anything in return if he said he didn't ask for anything? Anyway, he was also the head of the village. Ling Feng specially granted him the position of "big village head" and the representative of the village committee. He could accompany the ministers of the court to the emperor at any time.

In the chat, Ling Feng deliberately talked about how he made a fortune. In this regard, Ling Feng came up with the idea of going to Niuchu Village for a private visit. Now the dry monsters have been removed, and the middle of the court and the palace are also stable, but those small monsters of the people have to arrest them as soon as possible.

At night, on the branches of the moon, in the Qiankun Palace.

"..., Your Majesty, the total income of today's banquet is 70 million and 9 million taels of silver, and the total income of gold is 22 million taels." Ling Feng was very gratified to hear the Ministry of Internal Affairs report to him on today's total income.

As for the Prime Minister Wen, although he was not as rich as the village head, he also paid 50 million taels of silver. After all, this time, his own daughter was pregnant with dragon descendants. Seeing that he was about to become a grandfather, he handed Ling Feng a silver ticket worth 50 million yuan.

General Wu also gave 40 million taels of silver, plus some soldiers, horses and chariots, weapons and equipment. Ling Feng intended to use these to strengthen the towers and arm his military camps.

The queen was even more generous. The king of Phoenix and later heard that their daughter were pregnant, so they personally ordered their envoys to send 20,000 silk and satin, Western Regions Qixiang powder, as well as 200 million silver and 10 million taels of gold, willing to become the most loyal ally of the Dragon Empire.

So much wealth has been filled with the national treasury by Ling Feng, and most of them are used to help the poor people everywhere and help the disaster-stricken people rebuild their homes to give a wide range of grace.

After all, it's enough to be happy about these things. Money will not be brought to death. Sooner or later, I will leave one day. At that time, I can't take a penny. It's better to show kindness to the people, which is also a good reputation in the hearts of the people, and save yourself in hell. Yin De.

Of course, Ling Feng also left himself part of his property for the research and development of high technology to fight against General Wu in the future.

When I first came to this strange place in time and space, I thought that the emperor was so good. I once wanted to transform this ancient society, but later things made him find that it was not easy to transform this ancient feudal society. Maybe he will not be able to teach all the people at that time, but will be assimilated by this ancient society.

After all, a person's strength is small, even if he is an emperor now. It's like someone says you're crazy, you don't believe it, but a hundred people say you're crazy. In the end, you start to be a little suspicious.

Last time, Li Wei, the head of the inner bodyguard, carried hundreds of cannons in red to encircle and suppress the dry monsters in Lushan County. Although he was defeated in the end, he always let Ling Feng realize that in this ancient era, there were such advanced weapons.

Unfortunately, I wanted to ask the genius scientist at the beginning that Einstein wanted some technology, but every time he wanted to, he was pushed by Judge Cui behind him. When he opened his eyes, he found that he had crossed time and space, came here, and became the emperor.

But even so, the technology of the Dragon Empire is also very advanced. Ling Feng has ordered Li Wei's guards to find craftsmen everywhere to set up a magic machine camp to develop strategic technology. No one would have thought that there was such an advanced civilization in ancient times.

Shenji Camp is still under construction, and it will take some time to wait for growth, but Ling Feng considered another thing, which made him think that it needed to be solved urgently.

"Those women in the harem are really hard to raise."

When Ling Feng thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a headache. He really didn't understand why the ancient emperors raised so many concubines. Do it and don't do it. At most, you can do one or two a day. No matter how energetic you are in a day, you can only do three or five. How can you be so busy?

Therefore, Ling Feng did not understand the use of the emperors raising so many concubines. He decided to reduce the number of people.

A concubine should be equipped with at least one maid, twelve maids, twelve slaves, and every month to buy rouge powder and all kinds of headwear. They should not only feed them, but also pay their salaries on time.

Simply, Ling Feng liberated the three thousand beauties in the harem, leaving only a few concubines. In this way, the quality of life is easy to rise, but on the contrary, he feels relaxed.

Ling Feng then worked hard for the "layoffs" of the harem. However, these concubines have lived in the palace for a long time and are used to the arrogant and luxurious life inside. They live in the palace every month. They don't have to do anything. There is still money to take, and there are people around to serve them. They are unwilling to leave the emperor.

But women like Wen Shufei and Wu Defei still have to stay by their side. After all, one of their fathers is the prime minister of all officials, and the other father is today's general who holds the world's heavy troops. He has to rely on these two forces to support them to find peace for the people.

As for the queen, she can't take it. Not to mention that she is her wife, the strong national strength of Phoenix alone is not easy to mess with. Moreover, the queen has also contributed to her country, and she has the peace of the people.

Ling Feng has a deep understanding of this. They all say that women are half of the sky. In this harem, many women come from royal officials, generals and marquis, and princesses from neighboring countries. It can be said that the reason why the emperor can safely sit on the throne of the world and reach the peak of glory depends on the silent support of these women behind their backs.

Otherway, behind a successful man, there must be a successful woman. However, there is not a woman behind Ling Feng, but a group of women supporting him.

Therefore, some related people still have to stay with themselves, and those kind and upright concubines have also been left behind by Ling Feng.

In this harem layoff, Ling Feng was bold and laid off the 3,000 beauties in the harem to only a few hundred people. On the one hand, he reduced the burden for the people, and on the other hand, he also reduced the burden for himself.

Although the number of concubines in the harem is small, what is left is concentrated essence.

This time, Ling Feng personally rectified the reform of the harem, and found that because there were too many concubines in the previous emperor's harem, but there was too late to spoil them one by one. Therefore, the vast majority of concubines had to wait for a long time to win the emperor's favor.

To be spoiled by the emperor, the feeling is more excited than the middle five million. The other 2,999 beauties in the palace can only endure loneliness and suffering in their respective palaces, and their hearts are full of jealousy and hatred for the person favored by the emperor.

When you are lucky, you can get the emperor's visit once in about a month, and some have to wait for the last year. What's more, there are a lot of concubines who have to wait for three or five years to be spoiled by the emperor once.

Ling Feng reduced the harem this time and found that most of the concubines had not been the emperor for more than ten or twenty years because they were neglected. When they went to see it again, they were already old and old ladies.

No, it's not one, but a group of old women. In this regard, Ling Feng has more confidence in the reform of his harem.

At first, Ling Feng wondered why his predecessor was only 20 years old, but why in this harem, there were concubines in their forties and fifties, and that age was enough for his mother.

Xiao Li's answer is yes. It turned out that when the emperor was just born, the emperor began to select a concubine for him, hoping to get a dragon son early and bless the empire in the future, so as to stabilize the hard-won country.

"That emperor must want to have a grandson. He is crazy." Ling Feng thought that it was no wonder that there were so many old leftover women in his harem. However, the facts also confirmed that the emperor also wanted to have a grandson, and the less he had a grandson.

It turned out that there was something wrong with the 'that' aspect of the emperor. On the contrary, the 'that' aspect was normal, but the emperor's move hurt many young women, buried his good youth in the deep palace, and lost his precious youth. Therefore, God cursed this dragon vein without children.

Fortunately, he traveled through time and saved the endangered imperial dynasty, changed the fate of the royal family, and thus saved the people of the world.

Ling Feng looked at so many elderly leftover women in the palace and wasted his good youth in the deep palace wall. He had a clear understanding in his heart. This may be God's punishment for him.

Since Ling Feng appointed Li Wei as the chief bodyguard of the palace security, there has been no problem again. Ling Feng is puzzled about this. What is the origin of the cat demon that suddenly appeared in Wen Shufei?

It's just that he rose up and shot the cat demon directly with an arrow, but he couldn't even find out any clue. Although it is safe in the palace now, it makes Ling Feng feel faintly uneasy. It was the cat demon who vaguely felt that there was something wrong with this Wen Shufei.

"Why did the cat demon appear in Wen Shufei's bedroom?" Ling Feng didn't have time to think about this problem at that time. Now that so long has passed, he feels unreasonable. After all, the cat demon only appeared in the bedroom of Wen Shufei, and it was not found in the uterus of other concubines.

In addition, why that that night, when the cat demon was stabbing himself, and Wen Shufei was next to him, the cat demon did not go to assassinate Wen Shufei, but chose to assassinate himself. What's the reason?

Besides, since I executed the cat demon, there has been no monster in the palace. What's the explanation for this?
