The 497th chapter ended successfully, the compromise of the great emperor
With Jiang Xingchen's current strength, it would be fine to fight three or four legions. But in that case, his territory construction plan would be terminated, and the devastation of the stars was not what he wanted to see.
Moreover, although bees and Vajra ants are fierce, they are not suitable for fighting. There are too few people who can control them. He, the kitten woman, and Han Xiaowu really turn against the emperor. How can he do it with just three people? He teaches more people to command monsters, but he dare not, what if there is a backlash.
If he didn't want to have a quarrel with the Emperor, the limestone mountain must be taken down again, so Jiang Xingchen would choose to use his own advantages to stimulate the Emperor. He believed that the Emperor would definitely see the importance of public opinion propaganda to the rulers.
I have seen the influence of Star Monthly magazine. Do you want paper? Then give me a reward. Grenades are given to you in front, but only a first-class count is not enough.
On the other hand, the emperor also had concerns, and it was not a problem to take down the Xingchen Corps. Can’t he deal with Jiang Xingchen with the power of his country? In any aspect, the personnel, materials, and transportation, he could not block Xingchen Corps. Even the Duan family could transfer them back in one sentence!
But now the empire is not really the dominant one, and there are the eight kingdoms that have been united. There are also the two tribes of the Orc Alliance and the Xuanyuan Tianzong. Once the empire has civil strife, the other party will never miss this opportunity.
The current situation is that he beats the wolf, and no one wants to use force.
In fact, from the perspective of the Emperor himself, he didn't want to make a fuss with Jiang Xingchen like this. But no leader wanted to see any disobedient existence under him, especially after Jiang Xingchen designed the grenade. The Emperor wanted to control him at all times.
However, Jiang Xingchen's soul comes from the earth. What he can't stand is losing his freedom. How could he be willing to be controlled? This is simply an irreconcilable contradiction.
In the past, the empire was worried about domestic and foreign troubles. Jiang Xingchen and the emperor both had to rely on each other, so this contradiction was deliberately ignored by both sides. Now that the overall situation is stable, this contradiction emerges.
And both sides have their own insistence on, which has led to such a subtle relationship now.
Although the emperor was extremely jealous of the influence of paper and monthly magazines, he kept enduring it. He knew that Jiang Xingchen had made such big moves in succession, and he must have a purpose.
He was waiting for Jiang Xingchen to express his purpose first, so that even if he negotiated, he would have an advantage.
Jiang Xingchen on the other side was also waiting. Only when the emperor asked him for something could he be sure to go to the limestone mine. He ignored the other party's request for anti-inflammatory drugs and syringes. He was just preparing to increase the bargaining chips here...
On June 28, the chess and card competition, from the periphery to the final, finally came to an end after more than twenty days of competition. The chess category. Wang Zheng won the championship with an unstoppable sharp offensive.
In the end, five sons, the dark horse fell out, and the seed players were picked one by one. It was not anyone of the seed players who won the championship. Instead, a civilian named Heda, who was previously unknown, was also the one who brought the richest income to Jiang Xingchen's gambling game.
The suspense of mahjong is not very high. The player who was previously promising was shortlisted for the semi-finals, and the winner was a noble child.
The old man immediately recognized the man who won the mahjong. This was a playboy who had been hanging around in the chess and card hall since the new town opened last year. He also played cards with himself.
"Everyone has his own good side. I said that this little playboy is useless and knows how to play all day long. Who knows that you can make a name for playing..."
When the old man sighed, Jiang Xingchen personally gave the three kings trophys and ten thousand yellow crystal coins.
The three winners held the trophy carved from jade in their hands, and only grinned. Especially Wang Zheng and He Da, they had completely lost their language function at this moment.
Although they all know that the championship prize is 10,000 yellow crystal coins, their minds were blank in an instant by holding 10,000 in their hands. They were from civilians, and they had never seen so much money, and their family might not be able to earn in their whole life.
At this time, the two of them did not realize that their value was far from being comparable to that of ten thousand yellow crystal coins for the award of Stars.
Later, a large business company asked them to do promotion and gave them thousands of yellow crystal coins at a time. Only then did they realize that the value of the title of King is far greater than the bonus they received at the beginning.
With the end of the chess and card competition, a new peak was also seen in the release of the supplementary publication of Star Monthly. Just the next day, the supplementary publication released an unprecedented million copies.
When he heard this number, all those who followed Xingchen Leader were shocked. Especially those merchants who purchased advertising spaces, they were excited and speechless, and they shouted to their subordinates: "Look at me and report the sales situation at any time!"
In the next two days, all one million supplements were sold out, and news about chess and card competitions could be heard almost everywhere on the streets, and people were talking about.
"Did you see it? The winners are civilians! And there are two..."
"The bonus of 10,000 yellow crystal coins is stacked up, how high is it?"
"I don't know how high it is when stacked, but it will definitely bury you... Look at your promising prospects, no matter how 10,000 yellow crystal coins are, it will be dead money. That title of king is the most expensive..."
As the man said, his face full of envy and his eyes turned red.
"These two people are so popular. They are really a step ahead of the sky. They will enter the upper class in the future!"
"Stop talking about these two people, even the civilians in the top ten will probably be popular after this time. I wonder how many chess and card halls will invite them!"
"I'm paralyzed, I'll also participate in the chess and card competition next year..."
When the civilians were talking, the major businesses also received feedback and laughed excitedly. This time they had gained it. If such influence is not greatly improved, it would be strange.
"Fortunately, the decision was made in time. If I missed it, I wouldn't regret it and cry now!" After being happy, all the wealthy businessmen were very glad. The sales volume of one million was something they could not have thought of before.
At the same time, the emperor in the imperial palace really couldn't sit still this time. Although the sales of one million copies were amazing, what shocked him even more was the expanding influence of the Star Monthly. If he continued like this, even if the imperial monthly magazine was launched, it would probably be of no effect.
"No, I can't wait!" The emperor could no longer hold back, slapped the table hard, and ordered: "Send someone to invite the marshal to me!"
After a moment, the marshal entered the palace hall. Half a month later, with a solemn look on his face, the marshal hurriedly walked out of the palace again...
At this time, the lord's mansion of Xingchen Territory was filled with joy. Everyone was very happy that the first chess and card competition was successfully held.
Especially Grandpa Fu, at first he thought that this chess and card competition was just a loss, but who thought that he would earn about 12 million in the end. The advertising costs alone accounted for 9 million. The rest were won by opening a bet.
"The Lord's ability to make money is really nothing!" Grandpa Fu was filled with praise.
Zhao Danqing was also happy. Zhao Family Pharmaceuticals had no reason to be unhappy. Especially two days ago, he saw Lingcao Hall, Huang Hetang and others' miserable faces, and he felt so comfortable.
When everyone was excited, the only thing that was a little depressed was the old man.
They still haven't studied Xian Ning's injuries, and the chess and card competitions are not satisfied, so he is of course unhappy.
Xian Ning felt relieved and breathed a long sigh. After the high-intensity supplement, she could finally breathe a sigh of relief. In fact, she could not produce the supplement now. The materials and lime had been consumed completely. If it weren't for the inventory in the first two months of paper production, the subsequent circulation of 800,000 or 1 million yuan, the paper would not have been produced at all.
In the next two days, the Star Leader gradually calmed down. After a period of high-intensity work, people also needed to relieve themselves.
During these two days, the raw materials for papermaking and newly mined lime were prepared again.
On June 30th, Jiang Xingchen's 19th birthday. This time he did not greet anyone, and he stayed quietly in the lord's mansion with Mei'er for a day. He didn't see anyone looking for Jiang Xingchen. After working for so long, he wanted to stay with Mei'er for a while.
The two sat under the shade of the trees in the yard and chatted. Jiang Xingchen continued to depict the appearance of a modern city for Mei'er. Mei'er listened with a smile, her eyes ecstatic.
The dinner was made of braised noodles. Jiang Xingchen was going to do it, but Mei'er snatched it and said nothing to let him do it.
A quiet day passed, calm and warm. The next morning, Mei'er set off again and went to the Kingdom of Moon Shadow.
Before leaving, the little girl wanted to leave pink for Jiang Xingchen, saying that she had reached the Qi Condensation Realm and no longer needed protection.
But Jiang Xingchen still said nothing and pushed Mei'er onto the carriage.
After Mei'er left, Jiang Xingchen always felt a little strange, as if something was wrong with Mei'er coming back this time. But he couldn't say what was wrong.
He was thinking about it there, and Han Xiaowu ran to report: "Sir, the Marshal is here!"
"Uh!" Jiang Xingchen was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed: "The Emperor is finally here to find me!"
"Let's go! Come with me to welcome the Marshal!" Jiang Xingchen stood up with a smile, and his mind turned to this side. Mei'er's affairs were temporarily put aside.
Outside the Lord's Mansion, the Marshal looked at Jiang Xingchen with a smile on his face and sighed in his heart. Although the Emperor compromised, the conflict between you has become more acute. In the future...
"Master Marshal, why are you here in person?" Jiang Xingchen laughed and greeted him.
"Hmph! Do you still want the Emperor to come here in person?" The Marshal replied angrily.
Jiang Xingchen choked by the marshal, and just like he didn't hear it, he turned around and led the way to the lord's mansion! (To be continued...)
