I don't want love games

Chapter 405 417. Get a Rename Card (Two in One)

When he got home, Bai Xiang gave the envelope to Xia Yi.

"Is it from Qiulan's mother?" Holding the envelope, Xia Yi's mind suddenly flashed words like cheating, mother and daughter.

Opening the envelope, he realized that he was thinking too much.

The explanation in the letter was not very clear, it just asked Xia Yi to go to the Yamen, saying that there was a very good thing for the rich businessmen recently.

After so many days of investigation, Qiu Lan's family has also turned Xia Yi's identity upside down, and confirmed that Xia Yi is just a small wealthy businessman.

In addition to the identity of the rich businessman, they actually have another discovery, which is under intense investigation.It is precisely because of this discovery that Qiulan's family takes care of Xia Yi.

Putting the letter aside, Xia Yi decided to go over and take a look. The time stated in the letter was tomorrow morning, and there was still one night before now.

After showing the letter to Su Xue, the two discussed.

The subject of their discussion is whether this matter is the key to this world.

In this incident, what kind of changes will happen to Bai Xiang's existence?

Unable to find an answer through discussion, the two put the matter aside for the time being.

The next morning, when Xia Yi came to the Yamen, he was stopped by the guards and was allowed to enter after reporting the name of Qiu's family.

The guards did not lead him to the office, but led him to the private house behind the yamen and led him to the lobby.

In the lobby, there were five other people drinking tea.

Seeing Xia Yi approaching, five people stood up and greeted him.

They glanced at each other, and one of them, a two-hundred-jin fat man, asked, "Which family does my brother belong to?"

After thinking for a while, Xia Yi said: "I just came from the Northland, and I don't know what's going on, can you guys tell me?"

After listening to Xia Yi's words, the five of them confirmed that he was also in the same company, and relaxed: "Brother's business must be unusual if you can come here, right?"

"Fortunately."

"I don't know what brother does? Maybe we have a chance to cooperate."

Xia Yi then confirmed that the five people in front of him were also wealthy businessmen.He sighed again: These businessmen never forget to do business wherever they go.

He replied: "The industry I am involved in is relatively complicated, mainly the street economy."

"Street economy?" The five of them looked at each other, but they didn't understand what this word meant.

"Is it wood? Contract the construction of the street?" the fat man asked.

"No, just buy a street and plan it or something." Xia Yi explained, "I have four streets in the east city, two streets in the north city, and one street in the south city."

Xia Yi thought that he would see shock in the eyes of the five people, but he did not expect that the five people were very calm.

It seems that the business of these five people is not ordinary rich.

Sure enough, the five people introduced themselves as big businessmen who almost monopolize a business.

Especially the fat man of two hundred catties, half of the country's fabric business is in his hands.

Compared with them, Xia Yi's business is mediocre.

This made Xia Yi a little regretful, and decided to find a chance to shock the five of them.

After getting to know each other briefly, Fatty began to talk about today's affairs with Xia Yi.

"We don't know the specifics, but according to the gossip, the Holy One is planning to attack the snake man."

"In this move, all the money was burned." Another wealthy businessman continued.

"The imperial court has only been stable for a few years, and there may not be much money in the treasury."

The five sighed.

They didn't say it, but the hidden words were obvious.

The imperial court wanted money from them.

Compared with the five people who love money, Xia Yi is very calm. He has a unique ability to print money, and he can order as much as he wants.

There was silence in the lobby, and after a while, two middle-aged men in casual clothes came to the lobby.

"Master Di!" Five people stood up and shouted, Xia Yi also followed behind, making a formality.

Among the two middle-aged people, the stronger one smiled: "Hello, everyone."

After the two parties exchanged a few words of pleasantries, Master Di asked the attendants behind to change into good tea. The seven of them tasted the tea first, and then started the business.

Master Di clasped his fists: "All six of you are the pillars of our country. The main reason for inviting you here this time is about the snake people."

"The Guanzhong area is an extremely important area of ​​our country. It can be attacked and retreated. It also has a surplus economic rear and convenient transportation. It is the capital of the former dynasty."

Master Di didn't tell the six people to pay the money immediately, but spoke slowly.

"Ten years ago, the capital of the former dynasty was destroyed overnight, and the world was in chaos. It took eight years for the Holy One to finally rule the world. Now that the world is peaceful and the people are happy, it is time to deal with the culprit who caused the chaos."

"..."

From the mouth of Master Di, Xia Yi gradually understood the situation.

Ten years ago, in the Yinshan Mountains in the northern part of Guanzhong, a population called snake people suddenly appeared. The snake people attacked the capital of the former dynasty and destroyed the former dynasty. The current emperor took advantage of the chaos to go up.

Now that the world is stable, the emperor doesn't want the snake people to stay in his territory anymore, so he wants to get rid of those guys.

Xia Yi was a little puzzled, the Yinshan Mountains are not too big, how many snake people can there be?Do you still need to be so serious?
Or is it that the snake man was not referring to the nickname of a certain alien race, but a magical creature?
Go back and investigate.

This is not good in ancient times, the news was very closed, unlike modern times, everyone can know something about their own country, and they can also know something about other countries.

Xia Yi continued to listen to the discussion between Master Di and the rich merchants.

The rich businessmen gave moral support and verbal encouragement to the imperial court's plan to send troops to solve the problem of the Yinshan snake people, but they just didn't talk about donations.

Master Di tried a few times, but when he saw the rich businessmen, he just didn't realize it, he gritted his teeth.

In this dynasty, the imperial power was not so strong that "the whole world is not the king's land", and the emperor could not force these wealthy businessmen.

Putting down the teacup in his hand heavily, Master Di put away his smile, and said coldly to his entourage, "Take it out."

The follower took out a yellow scroll from his pocket.

Opening the scroll, Lord Di glanced at the six people: "This is His Majesty's handbook."

The five wealthy businessmen were unmoved, they drank tea as if they hadn't heard anything.

It's just a handwriting, not an imperial edict, so it's not worth their nerves.

Master Di snorted again, and read: "...donate ten thousand taels of silver, entitle Enqiwei, donate silver of 10 taels, entitle Yunqiwei, donate one million taels of silver, entitle Cavalry Captain, donate five million taels of silver , make Qing Che Captain, donate ten million taels of silver, and make him a Baron."

Qiwei and Duwei are the noble ranks of this dynasty. Enqiwei is the seventh rank, Qingche Duwei is the second rank, baron is the first rank, and the remaining viscounts, earls, marquises and dukes are super ranks according to the meaning.

After picking up the tea cup and taking a sip, Master Di looked at the wealthy businessmen with a sneer on his face: "What do you think?"

The five people except Xia Yi looked at each other, closed their eyes, and each calculated.

Master Di was not in a hurry, drank a cup of tea and refilled another cup.

Like him, there is Xia Yi.

Raising his head, Lord Di looked at Xia Yi curiously, wondering why he could be so calm, and also wondering why he was arranged here.

You know, the businessmen who can come here have to go through layers of screening, and they need more than just face to put people in here.

However, since the other party did not appear in the data, it should be just an ordinary businessman, and it would be great to get Captain Yunqi.

As for the other five wealthy merchants, Mr. Di intends to let each of them get a captain of light vehicles, or at least a captain of riders.

With more than 1000 million taels, this time the goal was successfully achieved.

Moreover, once these five people have titles, it will be much easier to get money from them.

After Master Di finished his second cup of tea, the five wealthy merchants opened their eyes.

The fat man asked first, "Can it be hereditary?"

"can."

"Can the title be given to someone else?"

"No."

This answer did not surprise the five people, and they began to quote.

"I'll pay 100 million."

"I'll pay 500 million."

The five rich merchants other than Xia Yi quickly finished reporting, two 500 million and three 100 million, a total of 300 million taels, Mr. Di successfully achieved the goal.

A smile appeared on his face again.

"Where's Mr. Xia?" He asked Xia Yi again, for Xia Yi, he didn't have any hope.Picking up the pen, he was already recording the amounts of five rich merchants.

Xia Yi put down his teacup unhurriedly: "I'll pay you 1000 million taels."

Master Di's hand trembled, and the brush drew a stain on the paper.

The other five wealthy businessmen also looked at Xia Yi with surprise.

It's not that they can't take out 1000 million taels, but once they take it out, it will hurt their muscles and bones.

"Mr. Xia really gave 1000 million taels of silver?" Master Di changed a piece of white paper and continued writing.

"Do not."

Hearing Xia Yi's words, Lord Di frowned, and there was another ink stain on the paper.

He spread out a new piece of paper: "Sir, don't make such a joke..."

Before he finished speaking, Xia Yi continued:

"I will offer 1000 million taels of gold."

click -

With one finger, the writing brush in Mr. Di's hand broke in the middle.

He put the pen aside, looked at Xia Yi seriously: "Really?"

The five wealthy businessmen also looked at Xia Yi in astonishment. 1000 million taels of gold is 9000 million taels of silver. Among them, only the fat man of two hundred catties can scrape together so much silver with all his net worth.

"I need some time to raise this gold." Xia Yi tapped the empty teacup with her fingers.

The entourage immediately stepped forward, wanting to give Xia Yiman, but was stopped by Mr. Di.

Master Di got up personally, took the teapot and poured tea for Xia Yi.

"I don't know how long it will take to prepare, sir? The imperial court can provide some help."

Gathering 1000 million taels of gold is definitely not an easy task, but it doesn't matter. With the silver of five other rich merchants, it is enough to fight a wave of snake men. Xia Yi's gold will go directly to the treasury at that time.

"The time may be a little long."

"Don't worry, sir, I know." After thinking for a while, Master Di wanted to ask Xia Yi if he could finish gathering before next year, so that he could still fight a wave of savages outside the Great Wall.

Before he could ask, Xia Yi replied: "It will take about five days."

"Cough, cough, cough!" The fat man who was drinking tea suddenly choked.

"Only five days?" It wasn't Master Di who asked the question, but another wealthy businessman.

They know how difficult it is to raise 1000 million taels of gold. There are only so many gold and silver circulating in the market, and they will definitely not be able to gather them in a short time. In other words, the other party probably has so much gold stored somewhere and does not need to Sell.

1000 million taels of gold!
The hearts of the five were trembling.

What was shaking even more fiercely was Master Di's heart.

The emperor was born reckless, and when he conquered the world, he was tricked by those aristocratic families. During the war, he didn't know how valuable gold was.

1000 million taels of gold is enough for the emperor to spend lavishly for two years.

"Then I will wait for the good news from Mr.." He took a piece of paper and wrote 1000 million taels on it. When writing the word "gold", he intentionally made the word three sizes smaller.

He knew that Xia Yi was teasing him before, causing him to break two pieces of paper and a pen.Xia Yi is the patron, he is not good at revenge, but he can find a balance on the emperor.

After folding the paper and stuffing it into the sleeves, Master Di bid farewell to the six people, and told Xia Yi that he would report to the emperor to discuss the reward, and left in a hurry.

Five wealthy businessmen immediately surrounded Xia Yi, Xia Yi pushed that the gold was left by his ancestors, and got away and returned home.

The matter of the title is stable, at least a viscount, and most likely can be mixed with an earl, the matter of status has been settled.

It's time for a new house.

It's a pity that 1000 million taels of gold is still short. If you pay [-] million taels, you can just buy a duke.

The reason why Xia Yi didn't do this was because [-] million taels was too much, which would have too much impact on the market and would easily cause bad things; effect.

Xia Yi began to think about another matter.

1000 million taels of gold, how to get it out?

His [Turning Stone into Gold] is to turn other substances into gold. If he can hold on, he can even turn the entire planet into gold.

Provided he can hold on.

The substance that turns into gold looks like what it originally looked like after it has changed. It will not change. It would be strange if he took out 1000 million taels of gold in different shapes.

After thinking about it, he found a way.

He bought a hilltop around the capital, and together with Su Xue, he built a cave, and then used [Turn Stone into Gold] to transform the rock into gold.

It was estimated to be about 1000 million taels, and he stopped his skills.

[Turning Stone into Gold] Consumes mana power, so he can judge the amount of gold generated through the consumption of mana power.

After returning home, after eating and drinking for five days, he told Lord Di the location of the cave.

The emperor, who was shocked five days ago, also followed the past to have a look. After seeing the cave made of gold, he sighed:

"He's his mother!"

On the sixth day, Xia Yi was summoned and donated another 3000 million taels of silver for military expenses, and promised to donate for ten consecutive years. After that, Xia Yi won the title of "Qingyuanhou".

The emperor originally named him "Marquis of Jinshan", but Xia Yi thought it was too tacky, so he spent a sum of money on palace maintenance and got a name change card.

He asked the emperor for another big house, and Xia Yi returned home.A group of young eunuchs came after him and gave Xia Yi the reward and imperial decree.

Fenghou is not a trivial matter, and this matter quickly spread to Tanhualang's mansion.

Qiulan's elder brother, the young Tanhualang was worried.

Originally, he just wanted to send Xia Yi to get a Captain, but the other party actually got a Marquis back.

Looking at the survey results in his hand, he walked back and forth anxiously in the lobby.

If the emperor finds out, he might beat me to death!

After grabbing a handful of hair from his head, Tanhualang went to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
