After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

This should be the No. 1 person to criticize Li Chenan!
The words are sharp and the lips are ruthless and loud!
Su Muxin was stunned.

Qin Rigang was also sweating profusely.

He suddenly stood up, "If it doesn't light up, you're crazy!"

Zhuge Buliang burst out laughing, with tears streaming down his face. His voice was full of grief, anger and disappointment:
"You said he had a kind heart, and I believed him."

"You said he had the talent to govern the country, and I believed him!"

"You said there is hope for Ning Guo, but I still believe it!"

"But meeting him is better than being famous... How wonderful it would be if I didn't meet him... At least my dream will not be shattered!"

"Kill me, I have no joy in life, so why should I fear death?"

"I don't want to see another round of decades-old tragedies happen again!"

Su Muxin pulled out the sword with a "Clang...!" sound, but Li Chenan waved his hand and stood up.

He wasn't angry.

He was still smiling.

He stood in front of Zhuge Buliang and looked at Zhuge Buliang for a moment.

In the shocked sight of everyone - except Wang Zhenghaoxuan, he was looking for the big yellow dog that ran away in the darkness, and then left quietly.

Except for Xiao Baozi.

She found this man named Zhuge Buliang a bit annoying.

But she knew that Li Chenan would never kill him.

Because his words came from the heart, and his feelings were expressed for Ning Guo.

That cow is not stupid, he knows how to win over people like this.

Li Chenan took out a handkerchief from his sleeve pocket, and stretched out his hand to wipe the tears on Zhuge Buliang's face.

The movements are natural, but it always feels a little weird in the eyes of everyone.

"It's good that you called Zhuge Buliang."

"There once was a man named Zhuge Liang, who was from your family. He also had great abilities, but in the end he only completed three-thirds of the world."

"If you don't shine... you might be able to govern the world!"

Zhuge Buliang was stunned for a moment, and Su Muxin was also stunned for a moment.

They are all scholars and are very familiar with history books, but they have never heard of the name Zhuge Liang.

Of course Li Chenan did not explain, he added:
"What you said is correct, because you are standing from an objective standpoint... Ningguo is indeed very poor, the burden on the people is indeed heavy, and the national treasury cannot afford so much money."

"If we want to build this Yanjing City, we will inevitably increase taxes on the people. This is a correct idea."

"But I still want to build this Yanjing City, and I really want to move the capital to this place!"

Zhuge Buliang looked at Li Chenan again, his eyes full of confusion.

Li Chenan raised his eyebrows and reached out to pat Zhuge Buliang on the shoulder, "You don't know the importance of this place!"

"You don't know how much of a threat the deserters on the grassland pose to Ningguo."

"but I know!"

"If we don't destroy the wilderness country in the future, don't drive those desert people out of the grassland, and don't include that huge grassland into the territory of Ning Kingdom... they will become a disaster for Ning Kingdom in the future!"

"To solve the problem of deserted people, of course it is closer to the deserted country from here."

"Yanjing City cannot be built overnight. It will take about five years."

"What I want to tell you is that the [-] million taels of silver needed to build Yanjing City will not come from the treasury, but I will pay for it myself. Is this okay?"

Zhuge Buliang was shocked. That was [-] million taels of silver!
Not 3 taels of silver!
Looking at the entire Ning Kingdom, no, the Central Plains and the Three Kingdoms, which country's wealthy or aristocratic family can spend [-] million taels of silver?
He, Li Chenan, also opened a brewing workshop!
I heard that the peach blossom wine and Huapingchun sold very well in Jiangnan, but even if they were sold nationwide, how many years and months would it take to earn a profit of [-] million taels?

Poverty limited Zhuge Buliang's imagination.

He simply could not understand the huge profits of Taohua Nian and Huaping Chun, nor did he know that these two wines were limited by food shortages and could not satisfy the entire market.

Of course, it is indeed unrealistic to build a huge capital city solely relying on the profits from selling wine.

But according to Li Chenan's plan, after he returns to Kyoto, a series of new things will be launched.He became the emperor of Ning State, and no longer worried about who else dared to peek and rob him of his technologies.

This was one of the reasons why he decided to take over the Imperial Seal from Xiao Wu.

Xiao Baozi was also very poor. The three hundred million taels of silver sounded like a lot, but she had no idea how much it was.

So she looked at Zhong Li Ruoshui, thinking that since Li Chenan said he would pay for it, he probably wanted to use the wealth that Gui Yuan had accumulated over the years.

Zhongli Ruoshui swallowed his saliva.

Because the total profit of all the properties in Guiyuan is [-] taels of silver.

The little calculation in her heart was crackling.

Plus my own small businesses...

Plus the money earned by the winery over the past two years...

The maximum total is 5000 million taels, which is half the distance from [-] million taels!
It is said to be half, but this half is too huge.

It took my uncle and aunt 20 years to accumulate this large amount of wealth.

If he wants to realize the remaining 5000 million taels... it is impossible for Li Chenan to wait another 20 years.

So how is he going to earn so much money in just a few years?

Li Chenan had told her that he still had many highly profitable novelties in his hands, but Zhongli Ruoshui didn't know what they were.

After those things come out, Zhongli Ruoshui doesn't know whether they can be sold or whether they will sell well.

But she knew that since Li Chenan said this, he would definitely do it after he returns.

As for how to do it, Zhongli Ruoshui is not too worried.

His wine was popular in Guangling City back then, so his other products may also be popular in Ningguo.

But Zhuge Buliang didn't understand this side of Li Chenan.

He felt that Li Chenan's words were too childish.

Still too young.

As if he could see Zhuge Buliang's disbelief, Li Chenan patted Zhuge Buliang on the shoulder again, "Like this,"

"And you, still stay here."

"There are 30 farmers in this place. We can easily establish a county and call it... Youdu County."

"You are the magistrate of Youdu County for the time being. When I go back, I will go to Youzhou City to meet the magistrate of Youzhou and tell him about this first."

"After I return to Kyoto, the Ministry of Civil Affairs will formally inform you."

"You take office first. According to your request, I can first exempt the people of Youdu from paying taxes for ten years, but they will have to perform corvee labor to build Yanjing City!"

"I'll give you another privilege. When they serve as corvees, they are not only responsible for the food, but I am also responsible for the wages... I employ them."

"As for how Yanjing City will be built in the future, that is a matter for the Ministry of Industry. But the money for building Yanjing City... is up to you!"

Zhuge Buliang was shocked!

First of all, he never expected that the regent would decide his future so easily!

Secondly, he did not expect that Li Chenan's so-called corvee service was such a method!
This is not corvee service at all!
When he paid the workers, the people were much more motivated than when they were building that city wall!
This also makes him, the county magistrate who got it inexplicably, much easier!

In the end, he never expected that Li Chenan would let him take charge of the money for building Yanjing City!
Although the money has not been written down yet, if it is written down...

That's a full three hundred million taels of silver!
This……

Zhuge Buliang was stunned, but Li Chenan was already walking away.

"That's it. I'll give you my letter of appointment tomorrow."

"I hope that when we meet next time, you can come to Kyoto with your back straight."

"You have full power to make the decision in Youdu County!"

"Zhuge is not bright..."

"If it's not bright, it's fine. If it's bright... it should be like the starlight in the sky!" (End of this chapter)
