In the Sun Mansion, in the Sun family's meeting hall, Emperor Li Tian was sitting leisurely on the throne, listening to the reports from the people below.
At Emperor Li Tian's command, in addition to the elders of the Sun family, there were also Emperor Li Tian's chief accountant, Shopkeeper Tong, as well as several squad captains from the Killing Legion, including Megatron, Kang Tianqi, Sun Tuozi, etc.
people.
"Master, according to your request, the construction of Jiuxing Pavilion is in full swing. Within half a year at most, six Jiuxing Pavilions can be built in Hancheng, Zhoucheng and Sun City."
Shopkeeper Tong said with excitement.
The so-called Jiuxing Pavilion is the real estate business started by Emperor Li Tian, and the spirit gathering array designed by himself. Shopkeeper Tong gave it such a name.
"Currently, each of our three cities can welcome hundreds of casual cultivators from other cities every day. As long as the sect master's spirit gathering array can be as magical as the sect master said, there is absolutely no need to worry about no one buying it. This can provide
Our three cities bring huge amounts of income."
Megatron said.
As an Earthling, Megatron knows how violent the real estate business is. Emperor Li Tian has abolished the rule of the aristocracy. In the future, a large number of cultivators will definitely come over. As long as the houses are built, there will be no need to worry about selling them.
"As long as you follow the drawings I gave you and make sure all the details are correct, there will be no problems with the Spirit Gathering Array."
Emperor Li Tian nodded with satisfaction.
"Master, there is something I must report to you."
The great elder stood up and said with a serious face.
"Say it."
"Master, it's like this. According to the news I got, some noble forces in Bozhou, Yunzhou, and Linhai County are destroying our reputation everywhere, saying that Master, you are a murderous devil, saying that you are just for cultivation.
The evil technique sucks the blood and essence of more than a dozen practitioners every day.
Others say that the ghost slaves kept in captivity by the family master suck the souls of hundreds of cultivators every day. In short, there are people everywhere scolding you, the master of the family, and our three states and counties.
"The great elder said with an angry look.
"Master, the elder is right. We must pay attention to this matter. No wonder the number of casual cultivators entering our three prefectures and counties in the past few days has become less and less. It turns out that there are people who go around destroying the reputation of the family master."
Shopkeeper Tong also said with an angry look.
"If we continue to let things go like this, there will definitely be fewer and fewer casual cultivators entering our three major prefectures and counties in the future. I think we must pay attention to this matter."
Megatron said.
Hearing the buzzing discussion below, Emperor Li Tian's face not only showed no anger, but also a smile.
"Don't worry about them. I wish the nobles around me would do this. I would also like to thank them and ruin my reputation."
Emperor Li Tian said with a smile.
"This..." Everyone in the room looked at Li Tiandi with puzzled expressions on their faces.
"The reason is simple. A big tree attracts the wind. Our power is expanding too fast. If we continue like this, we will definitely become a thorn in the eyes and flesh of all nobles. Not only will this not be good for us, but it will also lead to murderous disasters.
Think about it, if we absorb the poor casual cultivators from the surrounding areas without restraint, and ask the poor casual cultivators from the surrounding areas to come to us, wouldn't those nobles become mere commanders?"
After hearing Emperor Li Tian's explanation, everyone fell into deep thought and carefully tasted the meaning of Emperor Li Tian's words.
"Our current strength is still a bit weak. If we continue to expand like this without restraint, we will definitely anger the surrounding nobles.
Although we are now good enough to protect ourselves, we are not even afraid of super nobles like the Zhou family in Zhongzhou.
But once we arouse public anger and force these nobles to unite against us, then we will be in danger.
On the contrary, it is very good that it is like this now. These nobles have used such despicable methods to control the speed of our expansion. They only benefit us and do no harm to us.
We can use this precious time to gradually expand our strength.
Moreover, rumors are just rumors after all, and they will be exposed sooner or later. It is impossible for all the poor and casual cultivators to believe their lies."
Emperor Li Tian explained.
"Listening to your words is better than ten years of reading. Master, you are so thoughtful. I admire you."
Shopkeeper Tong said with a look of admiration.
"It is a blessing for our Sun family to have such a thoughtful person as the head of the family to take the lead."
The great elder said with joy on his face.
"By the way, Patriarch, there is one more thing I want to tell you. The president of the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce personally sent someone to deliver a VIP token. With this token, the Patriarch will travel around the world in the future, and when he reaches any branch of the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce, the Patriarch will
They will satisfy the family master’s requirements unconditionally.”
After shopkeeper Tong finished speaking, he took out a golden token with an envious look on his face and handed it to Emperor Li Tiandi.
Emperor Li Tian took the VIP token with a smile and said with a chuckle.
"I have lifted the aristocratic rule among the three states and counties. The one who has benefited the most is their Tongtian Chamber of Commerce. If they want to use a VIP token, why don't they send me away?
The president of the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce is quite shrewd in his calculations."
"What benefits does the owner of the family plan to ask for?"
Shopkeeper Tong asked.
"Contact the shopkeeper of the branch here and tell them that if the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce wants to make a fortune within the jurisdiction of this young master, it must feed this young master. The young master will not ask for more, and will only need 10% of the tax. If the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce does not
Agreed, I will seek cooperation from the Guitar Chamber of Commerce."
Emperor Li Tian said calmly.
"Ten percent of tax revenue, head of the family, are you kidding me? There are nearly ten Tongtian Chamber of Commerce branches in three states and counties, and ten percent of tax revenue is simply an astronomical figure.
Based on my understanding of the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce, they will never agree."
Shopkeeper Tong shook his head and said.
"You don't need to take care of this matter anymore. Just tell the new shopkeeper here and ask him to contact the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce headquarters. I will negotiate with them personally."
Emperor Li Tian said.
"This..." Seeing Emperor Li Tian's resolute attitude, shopkeeper Tong knew that he would definitely be unable to persuade him, so he could only nod his head and agree.
"Since the master wants to negotiate with the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce in person, I will now find the shopkeeper of the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce and ask him to contact the headquarters as soon as possible."
After Shopkeeper Tong finished speaking, he left the Sun Mansion directly without stopping in the lobby and went straight to the Sun City Tongtian Chamber of Commerce Branch.
After Shopkeeper Tong left, the First Elder and others reported some trivial matters. Soon, an impatient look appeared on Emperor Li Tian's face and he dismissed everyone from the meeting.
Half an hour later, shopkeeper Tong came back and came to report to Emperor Li Tiandi.
"The head of the family, the treasurer of the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce said that the sky can be opened at any time. President of the Continuous Headquarters, I wonder when you will choose to negotiate with the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce?"
"It's better to choose the day than to hit it. The affairs of the family are almost stable. It's time for me to leave and go out for experience. If I resolve the affairs of the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce as soon as possible, I can leave with peace of mind. Let's leave now to meet with these profiteers from your chamber of commerce.
