But if he doesn't give enough benefits, people have spent a lot of money to surrender to him. This contractual relationship maintained by money cannot be taken lightly!
Once King Yao can no longer bear the consequences, it will be time for Qingyang to take action.
But now, He Xiao came up with another plan, which allowed King Yao to once again maintain his existing advantage!
"The essence of the capital city expansion is nothing more than six words: 'collect money first, then expand'. First pre-sell the land to the people of Tianshui City, get the money, and then go back to build the city. In theory, it is to collect part and then build part, and so on. However, with the moral character of the ruler and ministers of Yao State, they probably want to collect all the spare money from everyone at once."
She explained it very clearly, and Yuan Xuan understood it immediately: "Get something for nothing?"
No wonder King Yao didn't shout that the treasury was empty. If he dared to play like this, the treasury would be full first.
"This plan seems feasible, so Lord Yao is full of confidence and stuffed all his loyal subordinates into it." Qingyang smiled softly, "Promotion and wealth. Haha, Lord Yao didn't promote them, but he made them rich!"
If you don't get promoted, getting rich is fine.
As long as the project can continue and they can make money, Yao Wang can continue to play the team-choosing game.
Not only can you continue to play, but you can also have a blast playing it.
This pie, no, this project is big enough and the benefits are great. Not only can it be distributed to the dozens of families on the list, but there will even be space for other officials to get on board.
The situation in the royal court would become one-sided.
In the end, almost all officials would stand against Qingyang.
To her, the game was no longer fun.
Yuan Xuan looked at her worriedly. The burden on the palace master was heavy. If he couldn't handle Yao State well, then...
Qingyang raised a finger: "He Xiao is extremely talented, this person can't be kept, he must be eliminated!"
She had already seen that the drugs He Xiao used on King Yao were all fierce and dangerous, which would cause endless troubles, but in a short period of time they could really make the entire King Yao's court full of energy!
"It's true that the young are to be feared." Back then in Lingxu City, she only focused on Shuang Ye and looked down on He Xiao, which is why the disaster has continued to this day.
Now, she should start to make up for her mistakes.
Who knows how many more tricks this kid can come up with? For the sake of the future, he can't be spared!
If she wanted to kill He Lingchuan out of anger on the day He Yang was killed, now she just felt urgent.
She has been in the officialdom for one hundred and sixty to seventy years, which is as long as three lifetimes for some people. How many heroes and outstanding people has she seen in Beijia, where there are so many talented people?
But no one is like He Xiao, whose every move is so wild and unpredictable. By the time he reveals his cards, others have already fallen into the trap without knowing it.
To this day, she still couldn't see He Xiao's true intention. Why did this person have to go against her?
If you can't figure out his motives, it's hard to predict his next move.
Thinking of this, Qingyang's heart moved.
In fact, there is another person's purpose that she can never figure out.
Yuan Xuan whispered, "King Yao just sent a thousand guards to He Xiao, and they live in Yongquan Villa and never leave."
Qingyang took a sip of tea and said, "He is really quite impressive. Even when Xue Zongwu was alive, he was not as glorious as he is now."
King Yao was on guard against her.
Xue Zongwu is dead, and King Yao is missing an arm, so he probably suspected that she killed him; now that he finally has He Xiao as his second arm, he doesn't hesitate to mobilize his troops.
The thousand-man guard team was there for her to see, so it would not be appropriate to kill He Xiao now.
Even the owner of Honglu might not be able to find an opportunity.
"Hasn't there been any information about He Xiao from Lingxu City yet?"
When she met He Xiao in Yao Country, she sent a message to her old friends in Lingxu City, asking them to dig deeper into He Xiao's background.
The origins of this person remain unclear.
Yuan Xuan responded: "No news yet."
Qingyang returned to the present: "The expansion of Tianshui City will last at least one or two years. I can't wait that long."
In fact, the gods couldn't wait that long. Their dissatisfaction with Qingyang was about to overflow the barrier between the two realms.
She raised her second finger, her voice full of deep disappointment towards Yaoguo, "I can only find another way to complete the task at hand."
Because of He Xiao's interference, the cards in her hand have been ruined.
But it didn't matter, she decided to serve it another way.
"Please give your orders, Palace Master."
After a few rumbling sounds, a thunderstorm suddenly came.
Qingyang looked at the thousands of needles and threads outside the window and said slowly, "Has Chongwu arrived at the Northern Frontier?"
"General Chongwu left three days ago. In one or two days at most, his army will reach the northern border of Yao Country." Yuan Xuan listed them all. "He brought more than 1,300 elite soldiers with him. They have been following him for so many years."
"Don't be in a hurry. Wait until he has a firm grip on the military power." Qingyang reached out to catch a few raindrops. "Let King Yao and his ministers be proud for a while."
Yuan Xuan knew that the palace master already had an idea.
"Go out and close the door."
After Yuan Xuan left, Qingyang took out the statue and lit the incense.
When the smoke condensed in the air, she raised her head and said seriously, "Please give the Emperor a few more words and tell him that the plan has changed..."
……
The much anticipated Youhu Villa finally sold its last lakeside villa in Chibao.
In the early series of sales, everyone thought the prices of the temples were outrageous, until the last seven lakeside temples came on the market.
The first building was sold at a high price of 330,000!
When the salesman shouted out this number, there was a gasp from the audience.
The atmosphere at the scene became more and more fanatical, because the transaction prices of subsequent buildings were higher and higher.
The last lakeside residence was sold at a secret auction price of 670,000!
Six hundred and seventy thousand! Six hundred and seventy million yuan!
Even the luxury homes in the central area of Lingxu City cannot reach this number.
The audience's numb nerves were finally pricked, turning into exclamations.
Fan Shuang lost her composure for a moment and grabbed He Lingchuan's arm tightly, but she couldn't utter a word.
I have never seen such a thing in my life.
The Chibao sale ended successfully here. The officials and dignitaries present gathered around and congratulated He Lingchuan.
Congratulations to the island owner for making a lot of money.
He Lingchuan himself was very calm, as he had expected the grand occasion tonight.
As soon as he saw the new city expansion plan announced to the whole city, he knew that the last few houses in Youhu Villa would be sold out.
This was the officers’ last chance to get on board.
Only by holding on to these pieces of evidence would King Yao be willing to take them to play the game of "Let's get rich, let's get rich together."
This is all clear, and no one can fail to understand it now.
So, how could the prices of these buildings not be crazy?
The sky-high price of Youhu Villa and the eastward expansion of Tianshui City, these two explosive news complemented each other and spread quickly throughout the city.
They are all related to He Lingchuan. Whenever people in the city discuss these two major events, they cannot avoid the name of Master He.
In particular, the leadership team of this major project of expanding Tianshui City to the east, apart from the almighty King Yao, is obviously You Rongzhi and He Lingchuan.
Fund approval, material dispatch, and personnel entry and exit all require You Rongzhi's signature to take effect. Yao Wang firmly holds the decision-making power in his own hands, and He Lingchuan can only "suggest".
But the problem is that He Lingchuan's "suggestions" are too useful and easy to use. Even if You Rongzhi doesn't want to adopt them, after thinking about it, He Lingchuan's method is still the best solution.
But the real owner has been focusing on the Youhu Villa project in recent days and has ignored the eastward expansion of Tianshui City. You Rongzhi sent people to look for him twice, but he refused to go, saying that either there was something going on at Youhu Villa or he had a headache.
Even the mirror saw it: "Wow, are you trying to gain power by holding Joe like this?"
"Hey." He Lingchuan was lying under a tree, eating persimmons and enjoying the cool breeze. "If you don't take the helm, how can you steer the ship of Yao Nation into the bottomless abyss?"
"Oh, so vicious! I like it!" The mirror was a little excited, "What do you want to do?"
"Let's wait and see." This cannot be explained, it can only be done.
Two days later, with so many engineering matters to deal with, You Rongzhi could no longer sit still and went to Yongquan Villa in person.
He Lingchuan entertained him warmly but did not mention the project itself.
You Rongzhi had to say directly that the Lord was very concerned about the eastward expansion project and hoped that Lord He could devote more energy to it.
He said this with a thick face. After all, He Xiao was just a "senior governor" with no position or power, and was just helping out in this project.
He Lingchuan sighed, "Eastward expansion is a huge project. From the current perspective, I have been too confident. Please ask Lord You to present this to His Majesty and ask for another capable person."
When You Rongzhi heard this, his scalp went numb.
It was you who came up with the ideas and plans for the eastward expansion. Now that we've started construction, you're quitting?
But he had been immersed in the officialdom for decades, and he knew from He Xiao's expression that he was not telling the truth: "How important is the eastward expansion of Tianshui City? Your Majesty has a discerning eye and has chosen Island Master He to assist. Island Master He, don't underestimate yourself! If you have any difficulties at the moment, just tell me."
He has used the tactic of retreating to advance before, right?
He Lingchuan was waiting for him to say this.
“The new city is expanding eastwards, and the progress is too slow.”
"Ah?" It's a bit slow, but hasn't it just been a few days since the start of work? You Rongzhi was a little surprised, "What's the problem?"
"Four months!" He Lingchuan held up four fingers. "Within four months, the new city must be built in good shape, and the people in Tianshui City will be willing to pay for houses and land. Only then can the redemption bills issued in the early stage deliver one and a half times the amount on schedule! Now the first seven days have passed, and the main road hasn't even had the top layer of soil removed!"
"The progress is seriously behind schedule! If we continue like this, we won't have enough time to sell the residential land. When the four-month deadline is up, we can only pay the bill from the national treasury." He Lingchuan asked him, "Does the national treasury have money?"
The national treasury is like a sponge, if you squeeze it there is always something. But how could You Rongzhi dare to say this to the king?
Time is indeed not enough, but this is the efficiency of Yao Country. You Rongzhi and King Yao are both anxious, otherwise why would they come to He Lingchuan? "So what does Island Master He think?"
"We need to improve our efficiency. We can't continue like we are now, working for three days and drying the net for two days." Then He Lingchuan said something.
The more You Rongzhi listened, the more surprised he became, and then he hesitated: "This..."
This is too offensive.
