Who will do the work? Some actions of the Yanping County Prince's Palace and the eldest princess finally attracted the attention of His Majesty the Emperor. The two people were invited to the palace for tea one after another. His Majesty the Emperor's intention was very clear.

I will not get involved in your affairs, but each of you must pay attention. This money must not flow into the hands of the princes you support. If these princes own these gold coins, then other princes will

He was immediately beaten by them and could not fight back. Such a thing must never happen. What His Majesty the Emperor wants is a balance. He cannot let the situation become a situation that he cannot control. The two princes are not supporting one, but two princes are rising at the same time.

It's not possible either. Under the coercion and inducement of His Majesty the Emperor, His Majesty the Emperor gave them two ways. Either you can hold on to the money and live your own life. His Majesty the Emperor will not care about you, or you must

Hand over 60% of the profits, and you can support whoever you want with the rest of the money. So far, it seems that they have no intention of handing over 60% of the profits, which proves that both of them are working with the prince.

The contact there has been cut off. In fact, it is no wonder that they made this choice. Although the two princes they have invested in now have opportunities, the reason for supporting them is to make their lives more comfortable. After the new emperor ascends the throne, his own

The family has done a good job in protecting the family, but now there is another safer way. How could they choose to touch that matter? They are not fools.

All this information was also told to Li Cong by Master Suo when Li Cong came to Beijing. Li Cong knew that Master Suo must have his own intelligence system in the capital, but he did not expect Master Suo.

This guy actually has such ability. He even knows the affairs of His Majesty the Emperor so clearly. The ability of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is really too strong. Master Suo and Li Cong went to Beijing together, and the city lord Long Yun was also there.

Among those following, it was said that these nobles from other places would return to the capital to celebrate the New Year. Especially in the New Year, hundreds of thousands of royals would gather inside the palace.

Li Cong was surprised when he thought about the gathering of hundreds of thousands of people. There were too many people in the royal family. Damn it, how could the royal family support hundreds of thousands of people? However, there are only a few dozen people in 3 billion people.

The privileged class with tens of thousands of people is not very large in comparison, and most of them just have the reputation of being a noble. They only receive a few hundred gold coins from the empire every year. The empire's annual income reaches billions of gold coins. With this little money

It is nothing to the empire, but the real power of the nobles is also great, just like Long Yun's family in the imperial capital, the Yanping County Prince's Palace. The imperial capital now has five princes' palaces and ten county princes' palaces, although on the surface it is

The prince's palace is more powerful than the county prince's palace, but it also depends on the actual situation. Just like the Yanping County Prince, although he is only a county prince, the ability of their county prince's palace can be ranked in the top five among the fifteen princes' palaces.

This is all directly related to the descendants of the old prince. The old prince has dozens of sons. One of them inherited the position of the prince. The other sons are seven dukes, twelve marquises, and the rest are all earls.

There are hundreds of grandsons, and there are dozens of these grandsons with titles. Such a big family is definitely very powerful. Just like Long Yun, the earl who controls five counties and cities is considered a powerful figure in this family.

It's so-so. Now it's more or less good. When he was the city lord of a county, he could only sit with the grandsons of the emperors who came forward. The second generation didn't have his seat. Now because there are

After earning tea and becoming the chief executive of the region, this guy was able to get started, so he was so happy along the way.

Li Cong also chatted with Suo Ye about the power in the capital on the way. He originally thought that there were only fifteen palaces in the capital, but it turned out that there were nearly fifty palaces in the capital, just because the other palaces were not powerful.

With the empty name of a prince's palace, there is no source of income from outside. There are only some farms and other things that were given when the prince's palace was granted the title. Now he only lives on the 100,000 gold coins given by the empire every year, and his income from the palace is also small.

It doesn’t exceed one hundred thousand gold coins. Even the city lord of a county below gets several two hundred thousand gold coins every year. Only one of their palaces has this kind of money. Isn’t it a shame? The life of these palaces is not even as good as some

It's for lower-level officials, but they are also from the royal palace. This time when I go back, all the gifts must be comprehensive. In the past, Long Yun didn't know how to give gifts, but this time he knows. According to the power of your family, I

Sending tea leaves is something you can't buy even if you have money these days. The big one is ten kilograms for the palace, and the small one is five kilograms. Anyway, Li Cong gave him four hundred kilograms in two months, and there will be more when he comes.

Fifty pounds, this guy is considered a rich man. Who can be as wealthy as him? I have never been proud of myself in the capital for so many years. This time I followed Li Cong to take advantage of him. Long Yun didn't even have a mouthful of words along the way.

I have closed it before. In the past, everyone looked down on me. Everyone said that I was useless. Now look at who brought you tea. When you are in trouble, you can drink Chinese medicine.

"Li Cong, now we are considered friends, just tell me honestly, what is in your box, how can it be worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins?" City Lord Long Yun looked at the box Li Cong gave him.

He said, Li Cong said this was a New Year's gift for Long Yun. Long Yun really wanted to open it, but he still had to save face. He only started opening gifts in front of others when he was a child. How could he do this now?

As for what happened, it would be such a shameful thing to spread.

"Haha, Lord City Lord, you can just open it. We are no longer outsiders. Why are we so scrupulous about it?" Li Cong also said with a smile. In fact, people on earth have opened gifts in front of others for a long time. It's okay.

There are too many rules.

When Long Yun saw Suo Ye, he also had a look of expectation on his face. Damn it, he just took it apart. Oh my god, both Long Yun and Suo Ye were stunned. What is this? Why is it a ball?

It looks like it is not a bargain. Li Cong looked at these two people with a smile. This is still an old guy who fooled Ge Mingli's glass beads. When they got here, these two guys had the same look as Ge Mingli. They had never seen anything like this.

, it’s so beautiful. They have seen a lot of gems, but they have never seen such a transparent one, and there are several of them. The one Li Cong gave to Ge Mingli just got one at random, but this one won’t work, he said.

To be honest, this box of three glass beads of different colors cost Li never a few dollars, but this box is made of precious wood. Li never bought this box for three hundred gold coins. If they took it to the earth, they would

I have exchanged millions of these glass balls for you for that box, but Mr. Suo and the others would never take a look at such a box, but they really love this glass bead. They have no choice but to never look at it.

There is no such thing as Jianguo, how can he not be jealous? Looking at Long Yun's look, Li Cong knew that hundreds of thousands of gold coins he said were too low. He had to say millions. This guy would definitely believe it.

"This is a relatively rare gemstone. It existed in ancient times, but now it is basically gone. It was very difficult for me to get it. Mr. Suo, this is yours. They are all the same." Li

He took out another box and handed it to Mr. Suo. In fact, he had prepared several of them, but they couldn't let them see them. If there were too many, they would be worthless. Mr. Suo also had to be careful with his hands. This thing is really too valuable.

It was so beautiful, especially when it was under the sun. The scenery that appeared was really something I had never seen in my life. The two of them played with this thing for several hours. They didn't put it away until they were about to get off the car, but they

They carefully explained to the followers and put them in the safest place. This is definitely a rare treasure.

After arriving in the imperial capital, Li Cong is naturally not qualified to live in the Yanping County Prince's Mansion. Even if Long Yun and Suo Ye regard Li Cong as their friend, it will not work. There are noble etiquette among nobles, but Long Yun

A good place has been arranged for Li Cong. Naturally, Long Yun doesn't have any other houses in the imperial capital. Houses in the capital are still very expensive. For example, a private residence costs hundreds of gold coins. Such a house in the capital

You can't even get fifty gold coins in Kahuan County, but here you may not be able to get five hundred gold coins, if there are no other special things. The houses in the capital are not for sale, one by one.

Everyone should keep it, as it has huge potential for appreciation in the future.

The place Long Yun arranged for Li Cong was a club in their area in the capital. Li Cong knew directly that it was the Beijing Office. It was quite good, a three-story building. The boss knew that Li Cong was a friend of the chief executive.

A large suite was opened for Li Cong. Li Cong only went there to take a look around and then left. Long Yun arranged for him to go there and have a look. Otherwise, he would not be giving face to others, but

I was already used to being at ease, and I didn't really want to live anywhere. Li Cong took Lao Yang and Xue Lier sisters and started walking on the street. The people on the streets of the capital were indeed very knowledgeable, and there were many people on the streets.

There were only two girls from the Mengbei tribe in Kahuan County, but within a short time they saw several of them in the capital, and there were also several other very beautiful girls from various ethnic groups, and their prices were high.

They are very tall. The people on the street only looked at them once more and did not come to make trouble. During the New Year period, the security in the capital was also strengthened.

"It's not bad here. Look at how many guests there are here. It's also so luxurious. Why don't we stay here?" Li Cong said, pointing to a large hotel at the intersection in front of him. It is indeed very grand.

, the lions at the door are all made of copper, and they look very imposing. The four-story restaurant is already considered a very impressive house. You must know that there are no large-scale machines on earth that can build such a thing.

It's very good. Even if this is not one of the best hotels in Beijing, it must be considered one of the top ones. Looking at the people coming in and out at the door, you can tell that these people are not ordinary people, they are all non-responsible and expensive people.

People, what surprised Li Cong especially was that he saw tea being sold inside, which must be high-end.

"Please ask me objectively. I don't know if I want to stay in a hotel or be a top-notch person?" The waiter in this hotel always says these words when entertaining people. This is very similar to the TV series on earth. Li Cong

Many similarities have been discovered.

"Haha, we are staying in the hotel, the arrangements are well made." Li Cong threw out a gold coin. At first, Li Cong made the store owner outside the county very happy with a gold coin, but it is the same here, although it is

In the Imperial Capital, the person talking is just a second brother, not a shopkeeper at all. This guy only has a salary of eighty silver coins a month, which is a lot for the second brother below, but in this place

, it doesn’t count at all. If the hotel does not provide food and accommodation for eighty silver coins, he will not be able to survive in the imperial capital. All the dignitaries from all over the country are here. Ordinary people like them want to adapt to such prices.

All you can do is spend everything and in the end you will only be able to make ends meet. One gold coin is too much.

"Sir, please come later. Our inn has an independent courtyard. This is the highest and best house in our inn. However, the room fee is a bit expensive. It costs two gold coins per day. You can stay there.

"Lao Yang was shocked when he heard the price. Damn it, this thing is so expensive. It costs two gold coins a day. That's sixty gold coins a month. That doesn't include food or anything. This

The capital is indeed not a place for people to live. Two gold coins can feed a family of four for a month and they have to bring meat every day. However, you can only stay here for two nights, but Li Cong is not that kind of person.

Those who have no money can just throw out a gold ticket of 100 gold coins and that's it. There is no need to register with an ID card here.

"Okay, come here. If you have any horses, we can help you raise them." Originally, Li Cong was planning to bring his own escort, but he didn't expect that he would be taken care of by them after seeing Suo Ye.

The two of them laughed. What about the escort team? Not to mention Li Cong, even Long Yun was not allowed to come in with the escort team. Long Yun was able to stay in the escort because of his status as an earl. If he was an official, let alone an official.

The chiefs of the region, even the chiefs of the administrative districts, can only be allowed by the top two. Long Yun, an earl, can only bring ten guards. A county magistrate like Li Cong is not even a hairy person here.

Yes, there may be other shortcomings in the imperial capital, but the most indispensable thing is this official. There are officials everywhere, especially during the New Year.

Many officials did not celebrate the New Year at home for the sake of their own future in the coming year. Instead, they started running around the imperial capital with large sums of gold and silver. They were all like money-spreading boys, giving out gifts everywhere.

Yes, the Imperial Prosecutor's Office doesn't care about these things. Everyone knows that officials in the capital are poor and don't have much to gain. If this doesn't make people rich by the end of the year, how can it be said? Anyway, there will be inspections after the year.

, even if they want to use the back door, they have to think carefully, usually doing things that do not violate the law. Otherwise, the empire would have been messed up by these things long ago. His Majesty the Emperor has sharp eyes, and he will kill many people without any problem.

There is absolutely no shortage of personal things to do.

"This is just a house with two gold coins. It's not as good as ours." Xue Li'er looked at the house and couldn't help but said. Li Cong's house is very well decorated, but what can be found in an inn outside?

The place is already very good.

"Haha, it's nice here. Don't be too particular about it. Lao Yang lives downstairs and I live in the one next to it. You two sisters can live here." Li Cong still made the same arrangement. Neither Xue Li'er nor Kelly's

I know what Li Cong is thinking. Aren't they beautiful enough? Li Cong is just messing around with them. This last procedure has not been done. If Lao Yang is not still here, she really wants to see Li Cong.
