"My lord, I've already started to prepare for the expenses of the mansion. Right now we have several sources of income. The most important thing is to organize a treasure hunt team, go hunting in the jungle, and gather medicine. There are treasures everywhere in the wilderness. As long as you can go deep into the jungle and make a fortune It's not a problem. I have 1,300 sets of horned dragon armors in my hand now. When I use them all, I don't have to worry about the poisonous insects and miasma in the jungle. I can collect a lot of medicinal materials and hunt wild animals. I'll count, only this one Items, the annual income is several million. It is completely enough for the expenses of our palace." Xiao Yizi has already started to plan.
Millions is not a small amount. In the capital, the princes rely on manors and collect officials' offerings. The sum of various businesses is less than one million. Only those who hold real power, such as the third prince Gu Fansha, rely on leading troops to fight The barbarians can accumulate millions every year, but they earn a lot and spend a lot, so basically there is not much left.
"The beasts and medicinal materials in the surrounding mountains and forests can't withstand long-term picking and hunting. I estimate that they will be completely lighted in three to five years, at most ten or eight years. At that time, they will lose income, so what?" Gu Chensha also said. see far.
"I've thought about this too." Xiao Yizi said: "The long-term way is actually farming, opening up wasteland for planting, raising livestock, strong horses, and the price is quite high in the pass, and the climate is hot and humid in the wild, so you can plant fruit trees that are special products of the wild. Planting herbs, I have asked barbarian slaves to do these things, and it is estimated that there are hundreds of thousands of income a year. This fief is quite large, and the land is vast, but it is not as good as the capital, but it can flex its muscles .”
"The master can find some pharmacists to come over and make herbal medicines into pills. It will cost a lot of money to sell them. At present, many adventurers who come to the wilderness, such as anti-insect pills and detoxification pills, are very popular." Yiming interjected.
"Very good, brainstorming, I leave it to you to deal with all of these. In addition, Long Yuyun is also a good businessman. After discussing with her a lot, she can come up with a better way." Gu Chensha said: "There is also Long Yuyun. Yu Yun's business belongs to her, don't get mixed up in the fiefdom, although she has taken refuge with me, the accounts still need to be settled, after all, she has to raise a group of people, and the interests of Longjian Island are also difficult to settle, I don't want to spread rumors of oppression Our bad reputation has come, otherwise who would dare to come to seek refuge in the future? If the bad reputation spreads, how can we recruit An Baoyu Kingdom."
"My master is thoughtful, but with my means, there is no need to squeeze Longjian Island." Xiao Yizi knew it well.
Gu Chensha thinks about it, he is now getting more and more advanced, and the big dragon armor is endlessly changing under his refinement. Sooner or later, he will evolve into the king dragon armor, add the sun and moon altar, and go to the temple of the devil in the world to do it again One vote is not impossible.
Of course, it is impossible for him, a prince, to steal in the construction of the fiefdom. To raise a large group of subordinates, he must generate income himself, which is the balance of heaven.
As he was talking, Liu Yu also came up to report the situation: "My lord, it's good that you come back. Yu Hanlu brought her cronies and confidantes, a total of more than five thousand people, and said that she left Baoyu Kingdom. Time to station, I hope the prince can accept them, the prince is not here, I dare not make decisions without authorization, I can only arrange her people in the town west of the castle, I dare not let them live in the castle, for fear of trouble. Now Yu Hanlu comes in again , Said that he hoped that his people could live in the castle, Zhou Bu, Qian Zhen and others were entertaining in the hall. How about I invite Yu Hanlu to come up and have an interview with the prince right now?"
"No, I'll go by myself." Gu Chensha got off the tower and went straight to the hall.
The parliament hall was quite spacious and could accommodate thousands of people. In the hall, Zhou Bu was competing with an imposing young man. Both of them were using swords.
The cold light flickered, and the stars were dotted.
Yu Hanlu watched from the side, and there were seven or eight masters behind her, all of whom had solemn faces.
"The world is long, the autumn wind is bleak, the winter snow is long, the spring is full, the summer thunder breaks the mountains, the sky lasts for ten days, the mountains and rivers are scorched..." Suddenly, the sword in Zhou Bu's palm burst out with infinite light, swaying left and right, covering the young man.
The young man retreated again and again, but was stabbed in the wrist by Zhou Bu, and the sword fell to the ground.
As soon as Zhou Bu succeeded in his move, he immediately retreated, drew his sword and stood up, saying "I've offended you".
The young man picked up the long sword and seemed to want to kill him, but was stopped by Yu Hanlu: "Xiao Que, you are not his opponent, back down."
"Master, that young man is also the best of the younger generation of the Baoyu royal family. His name is Yu Que. He broke through the barrier a while ago and was promoted to the Dao realm. He is very tyrannical." Xiao Yizi explained standing behind Gu Chensha.
"My lord, you're back." Yu Hanlu saw Gu Chensha approaching, and immediately stood up, quite shocked: "I never thought that my lord's subordinates are so powerful. Xiao Que is a genius in our royal family. I lost the bet that the swordsmanship taught by the immortals in the Desolate Immortal Dao was still lost to the prince’s subordinates.”
"What bet?" Gu Chensha asked.
"My lord, I made the decision without authorization. I made a bet with Brother Yu Que. If Brother Yu Que can win, they will be stationed in this castle. If I win, they will give me ten pieces of high-grade jade." Zhou Bu put one knee on his knees. Kneeling down: "I hope the prince will forgive me."
"What's the crime?" Gu Chensha helped him up: "You are the minister of protection in my mansion, but you have the right to deal with such defenses. Your martial arts have made good progress, but there are still many loopholes. When the time comes I'll point out the flaws for you."
"Yes." Zhou Bu got up, stepped back to the side, and stood still.
"Liu Yu, take these guests down and treat them well. I have something to talk to Miss Han Lu." Gu Chensha waved his hand.
"Please, everyone, I have prepared a first-class banquet." Liu Yu said to Yu Hanlu's humanity behind him.
The people behind Yu Hanlu are all members of the royal family, but they all follow her lead and look at her face.
"You go, I want to have a good talk with the prince." Yu Hanlu also spoke, and these people moved, and followed Liu Yu to the banquet.
Gu Chensha knew from his eyes that Yu Hanlu really had a very high status in Baoyu's royal family.
"My lord, it seems that your methods are far beyond my imagination. Yuyun has completely trusted you and is completely devoted to you. I know that Yuyun has a strong personality and never submits to others. It must be extraordinary for you to gain her trust. "Yu Hanlu looked around: "There is also this mansion. Although it is the layout of Xuanwu going to sea, living in it, I obviously feel the physical and mental stretch, and the breath is strong. It seems that there is a peerless magic weapon in the eyes of the entire castle. It is faster than here. Compatible with the layout of King Baoyu's palace, there are thousands of my guards who live in the market outside the castle. Although the house is tall and spacious, everything is inconvenient, and there is no peace in cultivation. I hope the prince can be here. Draw a piece of land in the castle for us to live in. I think the castle is too big for your lord, it is empty everywhere and lacks popularity. This castle is full of budgets and can accommodate tens of thousands of people, and it is more than enough to accommodate thousands of people like me. "
"There's no problem with this." Gu Chensha thought about it: "I'll make arrangements later to divide up an area for you, but you announced to the outside world that if you are a vassal of the palace, your board and lodging, expenses can be covered by me ,how?"
"Are you asking me to take refuge completely?" Yu Hanlu seemed to have expected that Gu Chensha would make such a request.
"It's just for the outside to see." Gu Chensha said: "Of course, I also want you to completely rely on me, but everyone has their own ambitions, and you can't force it. If you want to live in my castle, I don't think it is for the convenience of martial arts. I'm afraid. There is a problem in Baoyu's country, and you can't stop it, so you come to hide with me for a while."
"It seems that you can't hide anything from you? Did Yu Yun tell you?" Yu Hanlu asked.
"Long Yuyun didn't say anything about it, but you can guess with your head that the court of Baoyu Kingdom is divided into the Zhao'an faction and the opposition faction. You advocate Zhao'an, and the prince of Baoyu Kingdom advocates confrontation with our court. If you gain the upper hand, It is not my turn to recruit security, it has already been done by other princes." Gu Chensha can analyze it without any intelligence: "It turns out that you can still control the situation, and the prince's party should have gotten it recently. What powerful foreign aid forced you out."
"That's right. I also know that people don't speak dark words. Recently, the immortals from the Eastern Wilderness came to support the prince. I have no choice. I can only avoid the edge for the time being." Yu Hanlu told the truth.
"The legendary immortal sect also came to manage the affairs of the world, and even fought against the court?" Gu Chensha frowned: "Right now, the emperor will succeed in suppressing the barbarian evil gods. Still wanting to wreak havoc, is it the way of immortality or the way of magic?"
"They are all high-ranking sects of immortality. They regard us as ants in the world of mortals. If they don't follow their ideas, they say that we are demons. Obedience to them is the right way. In their eyes, Emperor Tianfu is against the sky and against the way. The biggest devil." Yu Hanlu spoke the truth: "Before the Tianfu Dynasty, those immortal sects recruited disciples in various countries, established sects, and disrupted the legal system. It was not the court that had the final say, but these 'immortal elders' said Forget it, it’s different now. The Tianfu Dynasty wiped them out, respected the king’s law, and promoted ritual teachings, so that they no longer have control over the people of the world. They naturally think that they are rebellious. If there is no ignorance and weakness of ordinary people, how can they set off the magnificence of the immortal way? ?”
"Well said." Gu Chensha clapped his hands: "Everyone in the world says the way of immortality is good, but it's actually because of mortals' ignorance and suffering. When mortals are free from these things, the way of immortality has nothing to show off."
"What Emperor Tianfu is doing now is to open up people's wisdom and relieve suffering. Naturally, he is a huge threat to the immortal way. He is also an enemy of the devil way. It can be said that good and evil cannot be tolerated." Yu Hanlu said: "I agree with the emperor's politics very much. I tried my best to advocate the reasons for the recruitment."
"We'll talk about these things later, can you agree to my conditions?" Gu Chensha asked.
"Yes, but there is no need for board and lodging. We arrange everything ourselves, and we also pay the rent. My people can join the army of the palace, and I can also be a guest of the palace?" Yu Hanlu's conditions are very loose.
"Deal." Gu Chensha immediately agreed.
