Chapter 122 This Is Not A Fool, But A Profiteer!
On the 4th and 5th day, there were more and more people.
There are more than 5,000 ordinary fighters alone. As for the innate-level powerhouses, they can no longer be observed, but it is conservatively estimated that gold can reach double digits.
The pressure on the Daxia soldiers and horses guarding here gradually increased.
In the Great Xia Palace.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the number of martial arts masters who are looking for swords has reached 5,000! Among them, the innate powerhouses may have reached double digits. Our troops are limited. Shall we send some more?"
Lin Beifan shook his head: "No need! In three days, the Excalibur will be born! By then, there will be more martial arts masters coming! The reason why they haven't done it yet is because the Excalibur has not yet been born! If the Excalibur is born, even if we send another 200,000 or 400,000 soldiers, we will never be able to defend it!"
Eunuch Liu was worried: "Then what shall we do?"
Lin Beifan said: "Let them in!"
Eunuch Liu turned pale with shock: "Your Majesty, if we let them in, our Excalibur might not be able to hold it!"
"Can we hold it now?" Lin Beifan asked back.
"this….………"
"It's better to block it than to block it! If we continue to block it, our soldiers and horses will have to sacrifice a lot! It's not worth sacrificing our soldiers and horses for a sword! However, we can't take advantage of them for nothing!" Lin Beifan's eyes flickered.
An hour later, Eunuch Liu came over with an imperial decree.
"The birth of the divine sword is a rare event in a hundred years! Therefore, His Majesty specially issued a decree to allow people from all walks of life to go to the mountain to watch the grand event of the divine sword being released!"
All the martial arts people cheered.
"Finally we can go up the mountain!"
"It seems that the emperor is not so stupid!"
"Does he dare? Isn't he afraid that so many of us martial artists will erupt, and only these 100,000 soldiers can stop him?"
That's why I said he acted smartly, honestly admitted!"
"That's fine, you don't need to use your hands!"
Everyone happily prepares to climb the mountain.
However, he was stopped by Eunuch Liu: "Wait a minute, all strong men!"
"What else is there, didn't you say that you want to let go?" Everyone was puzzled.
Eunuch Liu smiled slightly, pinching the orchid finger and said: "Our Majesty did let you go, but he didn't say that you would be allowed to go up the mountain for free! This mountain is a forbidden area for our Great Xia, and this Excalibur is our Majesty's Excalibur. If you want to go up the mountain, If you want to watch the birth of the Excalibur, you must have three chapters of the law!"
"What are the three chapters of the agreement? Tell me and listen!"
"Number one!" Eunuch Liu raised a finger: "After all, there are many masters here, and the personnel are complicated. If everyone fights, it will be difficult to end! So our first condition is: everyone should exercise restraint, no Use force! If anyone violates the regulations, then we have no choice but to use violence to get him out!"
Everyone listened and nodded in agreement.
"That's right! Everyone is here to see the birth of the Excalibur, so it's best if you don't do it!"
"I support this rule with both hands and feet!"
"What about the second condition?"
"Second!" Eunuch Liu held up two fingers: "Master Ou Yezi has reached a critical juncture in sword making, so everyone can see that it's okay, and don't disturb the master's sword casting!"
Everyone nodded again.
"That's a good point! You really can't disturb the master swordsmith!"
"We must watch quietly, so as not to disturb Yin!"
"What about the third condition?"
"There is one last condition!" Eunuch Liu raised a finger: "You must pay to go up the mountain, 1,000 taels of silver per person!"
The minds of the martial arts people present exploded!
"What? You still want money?"
"This old man has traveled all over the world for so many years, and this is the first time I have met someone asking for money!"
"A head of 1000 taels of silver, why don't you grab it?"
"No! Don't give it!"
Eunuch Liu's smile remained unchanged: "Heroes, you have to think carefully! The money is more important than the Excalibur! After all, the Excalibur was born, and it is rare in the ages. "If you miss this opportunity, you will not be happy!"
"My Majesty is kind enough to give you the opportunity to witness the Excalibur is not bad, don't be dissatisfied!"
"Of course, heroes can also force their way in, but we have an army of 100,000 and three powerful innate masters. None of them are vegetarians. It depends on whether you can break in!"
"You can solve the problem with a little money, but it's not good if you lose Qingqing's life, don't you think so?"
The faces of this group of people from the rivers and lakes turned green and white.
It turned out that they could join forces and gather the strength of everyone to break the blockade and rush up the mountain.
But now, Lin Beifan has exposed a gap, and he can go up if he pays, which immediately shatters everyone's fighting spirit.
You can solve the problem with money, so why work hard, don't you think?
This is an easy multiple choice question!
Although 1000 taels of silver is very expensive, it is nothing compared to the Excalibur.
It is not difficult for these martial arts people to make money.
"Isn't it just 1000 taels of silver? I'll give it!"
"At worst, after going down the mountain, kill a few more dog officials, and the money will be made up!"
"Drink less wine, and you'll make up for it!"
So, everyone paid for it one after another and lined up to go up the mountain.
It has to be said that this group of martial arts people is really rich. One person spent 1,000 taels, and these 5,000 people added up to more than 5 million taels, which made Lin Beifan earn a lot of money.
Some martial arts people were jealous and wanted to snatch this huge sum of money.
It's a pity that there are so many masters here, there is no chance.
Eunuch Liu looked at the money filled with more than a dozen sacks, and was full of admiration for Lin Beifan: "It's so easy to earn 5 million taels of silver, Your Majesty is wise!"
Thinking of the tricks behind, I am even more impressed.
At this time, this group of martial arts experts had already gone up the mountain in groups.
But when we got to the mountain, we didn't see anything.
Only one hole was seen, which seemed to lead to the bottom of the mountain, and from there came the sound of banging iron.
So, they all rushed to the entrance of the cave.
Jiu Jianxian stood at the entrance of the cave, stopped everyone while drinking, "Don't enter!"
"Why not? We have already paid!" Everyone was angry.
"Of course the old man knows! But..." Jiu Jianxian said while drinking wine: "Master Ou Yezi is casting swords inside, and now it's at a critical juncture! With so many of you going in, if you disturb the master's sword casting, Can you afford it? And what if the Excalibur fails, can you bear the crime?"
"This..." Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, very hesitant.
"But we've already arrived, so we can't just stand at the door and see nothing, right?"
"Don't worry! Your Majesty is kind enough to give you a way!" Jiu Jianxian said with a smile: "As long as 3000 taels of silver, you can go inside and enjoy a cup of tea!
The mentality of this group of martial arts masters exploded again.
"Why do you want money again? And this time it's 3000 taels of silver!"
"Aren't you too capable of exploiting people?"
"Did you really slaughter us like fat sheep?"
Jiu Jianxian said with a smile: "This is His Majesty's will. If you want to blame you, blame him! Everyone, please pay attention, the number is limited, and there are only 100 places per day. If you want to buy quickly, there will be no more shops after passing this village!" "
"No! We are determined not to give!"
"If there is the first time, there will be the second time, and if there is the second time, there will be the third time. We can't be slaughtered by others!"
"Let us all unite, we can't let them steal a penny!"
"That's right! There can be no compromise this time!"
Everyone protested loudly.
Jiu Jianxian yelled: "Noisy! Shut up! If you disturb Master Ou's sword practice, can you bear this responsibility? So, if you want to protest, please keep your voice down!"
Everyone was reprimanded and felt extremely aggrieved.
At this moment, a person took out a stack of silver bills and stuffed them into Jiu Jianxian's hands: "There is a total of 3000 taels of silver in here, can I go in?"
Jiu Jianxian took a look and found that it was correct, he smiled and said, "Go in!"
"Thank you Jiujianxian!" So he rushed in excitedly.
The first one has already paid and played a leading role, and the second one can't wait.
"This is 3000 taels of silver, please check!"
"That's right, it's indeed 3000 taels of silver, enough money, go in!"
"Thank you!"
Then the 3rd person, the 4th person...
There was an endless stream of people.
The other people were dumbfounded, and someone really paid to go in and see it.
In such a short time, nearly 20 people have already paid the money and walked into the cave.
Everyone was afraid of falling behind and rushed to pay the money.
"I want to go in too, this is 3000 taels of silver!"
"Hero Jiujian, please keep it safe, this is my 3000 taels of silver, can I go in?"
"I came first, don't jump in line!"
"Let me come first, don't you know how to respect the old and love the young?"
Immortal Jiu Jian couldn't fit any silver bills in his bosom soon, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, enough people, let's wait until tomorrow! Let's continue tomorrow!"
Everyone was unwilling and could only let it go.
Jiu Jianxian touched the thick bank note and sighed in his heart, this money is so easy to earn!
In just a moment, 300,000 taels will be in hand!
The 100 people who paid the money finally walked into the cave, turned around and came to the depths of the magma, and then saw Master Ou Yezi casting a sword beside the magma.
Because the temperature was too high, Master Ou Yezi's whole body was burned red with white smoke.
The sparks radiated in all directions, as if they were going to ignite this place.
Miaoshou was here empty-handed, and whispered: "You can just watch here, and don't disturb Master Ou Yezi!"
Everyone nodded, and we couldn't get close if we wanted to, because it's too hot now.
In the end, they just watched for a while and went out.
When they came out, everyone gathered together to ask.
"What's going on, what did you see?"
One of the people in Jianghu said with admiration: "I saw Master Ou Yezi concentrating on casting a sword beside the magma! The divine sword was burnt red, and there was hot magma under his feet. Ordinary people stay in such a place. Everyone will be burned to death in the environment! But Master Ou Yezi is fearless, which is admirable!"
"That's right! Only Master Ou Yezi can forge a sword in such an environment. It's a worthwhile trip!"
"If it wasn't for the high temperature below, I would have stayed there forever and watched the master practice the sword!"
After the rendering of these people, everyone wants to go in and see it.
At this moment, Eunuch Liu ordered someone to come over with steaming meals, and said with a smile, "Heroes, it's not easy for you to come from such a long distance! Therefore, His Majesty specially ordered the miscellaneous family to prepare meals to entertain you all!"
"You actually prepared meals, your majesty is too considerate!"
"This delicious meal makes me hungry!
"Give me one!"
At this time, someone questioned: "Your Majesty is so kind, you won't poison the food?"
Eunuch Liu said with some displeasure: "You are judging the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain! Our Majesty wants to kill people, so just let someone shoot you to death. Why bother?"
"That's true!" So someone came over, looked at the steaming food, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said, "Give me one! No, two! I have a bigger appetite and eat more, haha!"
"Of course, one meal is 100 taels of silver! If you want two servings, then give me 200 taels of silver!"
The mentality of everyone present is about to explode!
"Do you need money for food?"
Eunuch Liu asked back: "Why? You don't pay for meals?"
"Of course we pay for meals, but we have never seen so much!" One of the martial arts masters pointed to the meals prepared by the court, and said angrily: "Look at your meals, not only is there no meat, but also no meat. What oil and water! Such a meal can be sold for three pennies at the foot of the mountain, which is not bad, but you actually want 100 taels of silver[!"
"Exactly! This meal costs three Wen, but you sold it for 100 taels!"
"I opened a black shop before, and none of them are as black as you!"
"Whether a scholar can bear it or not, it's too much!!!"
Eunuch Liu said with a smile: "This is a fair business, we don't have to eat the money!"
"I really don't want to eat. I'll go down the mountain to have a full meal. You can eat a lot of good things for 100 taels of silver. It's definitely cheaper than your 540 taels!"
"That's right, let's go down the mountain to eat, I'm mad at you!"
"Never eat your expensive meals! Never!"
Everyone clamored.
Eunuch Liu waved his hand: "Of course you can go down the mountain to eat, but don't forget that you have to pay again after going up the mountain, 1000 taels of silver per person!"
Everyone's mentality exploded again!
"Why? Why do you want money again?"
"I already gave it once!"
"Isn't this a normal thing?" Eunuch Liu spread out his hands: "When you enter the city, don't you have to pay poll tax? You pay once every time you enter the city. We have the same principle here!"
"Fuck!" Everyone was so angry that they wanted to kill.
Pay the poll tax!
If you want to exploit us, just say so!
At this time, everyone dared not go down the mountain.
I was afraid that as soon as I came up, another 1,000 taels of silver would disappear, and there would be nowhere to cry.
In this way, everyone seems to be left with the only choice.
Eunuch Liu came to the steaming food and solicited loudly: "Everyone, do you want to eat? If you don't eat, the food will be cold, and it won't taste good if it's cold!"
Everyone was angry and helpless, and finally had to take out the money.
"I eat!"
In the next two days, Lin Beifan used different methods to steal money, making everyone tickle with anger.
Where is a foolish king, he is clearly a profiteer!
They all secretly made up their minds, after going down the mountain, they must kill that dog emperor!
At this time, Lin Beifan was happily counting money.
"Report to Your Majesty, we collected a total of 11.2 million taels of silver this time, which greatly enriched the national treasury! Your Majesty, you are truly wise and mighty, and my respect for you is as endless as a torrential river, and as unstoppable as the flood of the Yellow River." He Shen patted the office loudly.
"Your Majesty is indeed amazing! A simple plan can turn a crisis into an opportunity, and let us make money from it! I scratched my head, but I can't think of such a clever plan! I admire Your Majesty!" Li Linfu said loudly.
"In the whole world, only you, Your Majesty, can turn decay into wonder!"
Lin Beifan laughed triumphantly: "Dear dears, you are overwhelmed, but I actually didn't do anything!"
Bai Zhu was a little worried: "But Your Majesty, although we have indeed made a lot of money, we have also offended many martial arts practitioners. They are more concerned about the future Song Song..."
Lin Beifan waved his hand: "Don't worry, they have no future! When the Excalibur is born, they will definitely try their best to snatch it, and they don't know how many people will die by then! Just let them grab as much as we can, and we will be responsible for collecting the corpses!"
"Your Majesty is holy!" the crowd shouted.
Next, more and more people from all over the world come here to watch the birth of Excalibur!
There are mountains and plains everywhere, with a total population of tens of thousands!
Among them, there are more than 30 Xiantians alone!
This is a terrifying power, even if Lin Beifan's entire army is outstanding, he might not be able to withstand it!
Fortunately, he didn't want to take it hard, anyway, he made a fortune from it and enriched the treasury.
As the number of people increases, the day when the Excalibur is born is coming!.
