"You didn't bring it upon yourself, why are you blaming me?" Chen Tian smiled.
But in Puji's eyes, his smile was tantamount to the devil coming into the world, and he watched helplessly as the large silver ingot in his sleeve was shaken out.
"What's the crime for stealing property?" Chen Tian asked casually.
The waiting girl replied calmly: "Ten sticks will be recorded as a crime, and the city will be pounded for a hundred days."
Hearing this, Pu Ji's face suddenly tightened. Now she was just an ordinary person without spiritual power, and a weak woman. A ten-stick cane could have beaten her half to death.
What's even worse is that hammering the city with earth for the city wall is the most painful and tiring. She can't stand it even for half a day, let alone a hundred days.
Pu Ji, who had always been arrogant and arrogant, finally couldn't stand it any longer at this moment and said angrily: "My lord, I was wrong. I won't dare to do it next time."
"What are you afraid of?" Chen Tian smiled.
Puji said bravely: "I don't dare to be rude to the city lord anymore, and I don't dare to deceive the city lord anymore."
"Very good, can you call me City Lord now?"
"I've met the city lord brother."
"Well, that's very good." Chen Tian was so happy that he picked up the silver and handed it to her, "You are so good, go down."
"You really gave it to me?" Puji couldn't believe it, and immediately handed it back to him, "Okay, now I want to redeem myself."
"Well--"
"Didn't you say that as long as you have ten taels of silver, you can give me my freedom? You are the city lord, so you can't keep your words!" Pu Ji said warily.
Chen Tian was stunned. He caught the money and said to the maid: "Take her to the Clothing Supervisor to fetch water. You can only eat after filling ten jars today. You can't be lazy."
"As commanded."
"Hey! You don't mean what you say!" Pu Ji was anxious. When she saw the maid trying to leave, she immediately shouted, "I was wrong. I don't dare to be clever anymore! Give me back the money!"
Looking from afar at the figure being dragged away, Chentian's face was filled with black lines. Isn't this girl just pushing her too far?
It's just stealing money, but you actually have small plans for yourself? Do you really think that beauty can be used as food?
Fuluo saw all this in front of her eyes, and her expression became more and more astonished. She really couldn't understand what kind of background Pu Ji had, and she actually allowed the god to deal with it for a long time.
Chentian seemed to see her doubts, and while walking towards the riveted iron box in the courtyard, he roughly told the origin of Puji.
Fuluo was completely stunned when she heard that she was once the sect master of Tianzhu Peak and also an extraordinary powerhouse in the Ninth Level of Heaven.
Because in her impression, the divine being was already at the peak of the fourth level of destiny, so what kind of terrifying existence must Bo Ji be?
But just listening to the conversation between the god and Bo Ji, it seems that she is working in the city lord's mansion to raise money and prepare to redeem herself?
I have to say that the contrast between the two was so great that Fuluo was so shocked that she could not speak for a long time and looked at Chen Tian in disbelief.
But what shocked her even more was what happened next.
"Holy Lord, does that mean that the originally unreachable Tianzhu Peak was really knocked down by one of your moves?" Fuluo remembered the rumors some time ago and hurriedly asked for confirmation.
Chentian nodded: "Luwu Mountain has changed a lot. Let's go out for a walk when you have time."
In fact, Fuluo knew about Tianzhu Peak a long time ago, because the ghost lamp guarding her was not only detecting the information of Gusu City, but also conveying the news of Yongtai City to her.
But she always felt that destroying Tianzhu Peak with one move was too exaggerated, and it was a bit hard to believe. Now that Chen Tian personally confirmed it, she was immediately filled with surprise.
Shocking and unheard of!
"Okay, it's been two or three months since this happened, so don't mention it." Chen Tian looked down at the boxes filling the courtyard. He didn't feel much about the gold and silver. Instead, he felt that it was a bit incomparable to the casualties of more than a thousand people.
.
"Here comes someone."
"exist!"
"From now on, 60% of the loot will be sent to the city lord's official office, and 40% will be sent to the shogunate. The delivery procedures must be scrutinized, and any corruption will be dealt with by military law."
"As ordered!" "As for the gold and silver, take out a tenth of this gold and silver and reward the troops in the name of the city lord's palace, and distribute it to individuals. The injured will get one and a half, and the dead will get two." Chen Tian thought for a while, and added, "
From now on, it will become a routine to dispose of the spoils in this way.
.”
Although the grassroots treatment of the Yongtai Army and the Nanxiang Army is not as good as that of first-class craftsmen, they are considered successful anyway. Logically speaking, there should be no additional rewards.
But Chen Tian considered the enthusiasm of the grassroots soldiers to fight, so separate rewards were necessary. Although the gold and silver were not much for him, they were nothing more than an astronomical sum for them.
Twelve taels of silver is enough for a bachelor to eat, drink and have fun for more than half a year. What's more, the gold and silver he rewarded this time is ten thousand taels. If it is divided among the soldiers, it will be enough to buy a house.
certainly.
These rewards must be distributed downwards in the name of the city lord's palace, otherwise the shogunate will easily lose control and lose its tail.
After arranging the gold and silver, Chen Tian once again turned his attention to the remaining half box of jewelry, which was nothing more than some pearl necklaces and jade bracelets.
The rough guys from Yongtai Navy didn't know how to take care of them, so they just piled them up in a mess in the box. When Chen Tian had nothing to do, he summoned three or four maids to watch them sort them on the spot.
"Godly Lord."
"Um?"
"The workmanship of these jewelry is very fine and the selling price is very high. What are you going to do with it?" Fuluo saw that Gusu City has seen prosperity. Since it is well-known, there are many dandies around it.
Therefore, she has seen many valuable jewelry, such as the green cloud tassel jade step by the owner of Muchen Hall in Gusu City, which is the best among the best.
Not to mention anything else, it is just the main building material. This is a sacred tree that can reach the sky according to ancient rumors, which shows how precious it is.

"From what you say, it seems that you have a plan already?" Chen Tian waved his hand, "Then tell me your opinion."
Fuluo pondered for a moment: "Of course the jewelry itself is valuable, but the workmanship is also particularly important. It is common for the value to increase tenfold. This depends on the packaging and storytelling ability."
"For example, attach a popular poem, or have a connection with a famous person."
"If these are done well, the value will not only increase tenfold, but a hundred times a thousand times."
"You learned a lot when you went to Gusu City." Chen Tian nodded slightly, feeling that what she said made sense.
Treasures are luxuries, and of course the money they earn goes into the wallets of wealthy businessmen. These people don't lack gold and silver, but they do lack a certificate to show their identity.
Raising fairies of plants, trees and flowers to decorate the facade is the best example. When it comes to beauty and temperament, human women are no less generous.
But the Fairy of Plants, Trees and Flowers is rare because of its rarity, and it is enough of a curiosity for ordinary members of the aristocratic family. Taking her out to attend social events will certainly make her face look good.
As soon as a thought flashed through his mind, Chen Tian smiled and said, "Then how are you going to increase the value of this half box of jewelry?"
No one cares about having too much money.
Now that Yongtai City has developed, there are naturally people who need these luxuries, so make money if you can, and Fuluo has nothing to do anyway.
Chentian also realized that apart from real estate, there seemed to be very few types of large-amount transactions left in the market. If he did not seize this strong buying craze, Yongtai City's wealth would likely flow out, although it was unlikely that there would be a super-high-priced transaction.
situation, but with one more industry, Yongtai City will be more prosperous and stable.
