I became the Demon Emperor in Journey to the West

Chapter 144 I will take % of the income from the demon market

Zhang Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Master, you're welcome."

After saying that, he followed Master Zhu into the main hall.

Peacock, Zixuan, Hanxuan, Pheasant Demon and Changxiu followed closely, while the other big demons stayed outside the hall waiting.

Entering the main hall, Master Zhu asked Zhang Yuan to take a seat and ordered someone to serve tea.

"Master, I took the liberty to come to my door today because I have something to discuss." Zhang Yuan said.

"Demon Saint, please speak."

"In the past, Shituoling and the Bamboo Sect jointly managed Yuzhen Demon City. The income was 70% to 30%, with Shituoling accounting for 70% and the Bamboo Sect accounting for 3%. I came here today to discuss this matter with the leader. From now on , Yuzhen Demon City is jointly managed by the Daoyi Army and the Bamboo Sect. As for the division, it is still divided into 70 and 30, with the Daoyi Army accounting for seven and the Bamboo Sect accounting for three."

According to Chang Xiu's secret statistics, Chihuan's annual income during his management of Yuzhen Demon City was more than three million spirit stones.

According to the calculation that a spiritual stone is worth one hundred taels of silver, 70% of the income is more than 200 million taels of silver.

This is a huge amount of revenue.

With this income, plus the domestic income of Mohe Kingdom, there is no problem in supporting a huge army.

Master Zhu's expression changed slightly after hearing Zhang Yuan's words.

After the destruction of Shituoling, the Bamboo Sect took the opportunity to kill Chihuan, took over the Yuzhen Demon City, and monopolized the income.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yuan also set his sights on this piece of fat.

Master Zhu wanted to refuse, but when he saw Zhang Yuan's non-negotiable look, he coughed dryly and said with an unnatural smile: "Since the Demon Saint has spoken, I will do it according to the Demon Saint's wishes."

Master Zhu was naturally not happy with such a division.

After all, Yuzhen Demon City's annual income is more than three million spirit stones. According to the seven-thirds opening, the Bamboo Sect can only get 900,000.

Although this number is already large enough, and the Bamboo Sect cannot spend it all, no one is afraid of having too much money, right?

However, Mr. Zhu still knew in his heart that Zhang Yuan came to the door today, probably not with the intention of discussing with him. If he did not agree to his request, not only would he not be able to get a single spiritual stone, but would the Bamboo Sect be able to survive? , are all unknown.

Moreover, I am afraid that the tens of millions of spiritual stones that the Bamboo Sect has accumulated cannot be saved.

Those who understand the current affairs are heroes, and the old and cunning Master Bamboo can still see clearly what is more important. Zhang Yuan is now an existence that the Bamboo Sect cannot afford to offend. The most important thing is to protect the vested interests.

Hearing Master Zhu's promise, Zhang Yuan picked up the tea, took a sip, then pointed at Chang Xiu and said, "Let me introduce, his name is Chang Xiu, he is the prince of Chechi Kingdom, a disciple of Sanxian Temple, and will be the leader of the Daoyi Army stationed in Yuzhenyao City in the future. General, I hope you will enjoy your cooperation."

Master Zhu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment after hearing this. There was a question that he couldn't figure out now, that is, how could humans exist after Zhang Yuan's demon army had been there for several years?

However, it was not easy for him to ask these questions. Seeing that Chang Xiu had saluted him, Master Zhu quickly returned the salute, "It's a great honor to meet Prince Chechi today. In the future, please give me more advice."

"The master is too polite. I dare not give you any advice. If anything happens in the future, we will just discuss it." Chang Xiu said politely.

Zhang Yuan stood up and said: "Now that the matter is settled, I will leave now."

"Demon Saint, how about I ask someone to cook some side dishes and stay in the sect for a few drinks?" Master Zhu said.

Zhang Yuan knew very well that Master Zhu's words were just polite. This old guy already hated him to death, so how could he think of inviting him to drink?

"Forget it, the leader is busy with official duties, so I won't bother you." Zhang Yuan said. When he walked to the door, Zhang Yuan suddenly said: "The manpower I have arranged in Yuzhen Demon City is enough to massacre the Bamboo Sect. Therefore, the leader should not treat Chang Xiu the same way he treated Chi Huan."

Zhang Yuan's words were very explicit, clear, and very shocking.

What this means is, don’t take Chang Xiu seriously. The strength of the Daoyi Army in Yuzhen Demon City can destroy the Bamboo Sect in minutes. Master Zhu suddenly looked extremely embarrassed.

However, there is nothing you can do. If you are not as strong as others, you can only lower your head and survive.

In fact, Master Zhu had already anticipated this outcome after hearing about Zhang Yuan's rise.

As a demon on the Shituoling Mountains, Zhang Yuan naturally knows that the Yuzhen Demon Market is a place for fast fattening. He will not abandon it, but it will only be sooner or later.

"Demon Saint, don't worry too much. The Bamboo Sect and others will fully cooperate with General Changxiu to manage the demon market." Master Zhu said helplessly.

"You will post announcements all over Yuzhen Demon City today to inform various forces and shops. In the future, Chang Xiu will become the general manager of Yuzhen Demon City."

After Zhang Yuan finished speaking, he walked straight out of the gate of the Bamboo Sect and walked away.

"Master, this Zhang Yuan is too arrogant." One of Master Zhu's juniors said.

Master Zhu glanced at him, squeezed out a wry smile, and said: "Junior brother! This is also a helpless move. Not to mention his tens of thousands of demon troops, just the ones who came today can kill the chickens and dogs of the Bamboo Cult." If you don’t stay, people under the eaves will have to bow their heads!”

The junior brother who spoke was a golden immortal, so he naturally knew that what he said was not an exaggeration. Although he felt depressed, he did not dare to show off.

"You immediately ordered someone to post a notice explaining the matter. In addition, you warned the disciples in the sect that no one should compete with the moralist army." Master Zhu said.

"As ordered."

Zhang Yuan left the Bamboo Sect and led everyone to Yuzhen Demon City.

The streets are still bustling with people and monsters mixed together in an endless stream.

"Chang Xiu, you have been in the Demon City for many years and you know how to operate and manage it. I decided to let you manage the Demon City very early," Zhang Yuan said.

"Thank you Demon Saint for your trust."

"In addition to the more than thirty people you brought from the Three Immortals Temple, I will leave you with fifty great demons from the Guards, and then transfer a five hundred demon Tianlong Guard from the moral army. In this way, The Bamboo Sect will not dare to act rashly against you."

"Thank you Demon Saint." Chang Xiu said quickly.

For the next ten days, Zhang Yuan stayed in Yuzhen Demon City.

First, he met with various major forces that have industries in the Demon City, such as Ji Lei Mountain and others. He also conducted an investigation into the current operating conditions of the demon market and provided guidance for Chang Xiu's future management.

Zhang Yuan was also very satisfied with the announcement posted by the Bamboo Sect.

Although in terms of rhetoric, the Bamboo Sect tried its best to avoid the word "forced" to save face, but anyone who understands can see at a glance that the Bamboo Sect does this illegally, and all the rhetoric is just a cover-up.

After all, who is willing to give up millions of spiritual stones to others for no reason?

Zhang Yuan doesn't care about this.

The Bamboo Sect is a powerful force, but in front of themselves and the moralist army who are much more powerful than them, they are like ants and can only bow their heads.

After helping Chang Xiu smooth the management relationship, the 500 Heavenly Dragon Guards that Hei Sha transferred from his own team also arrived. Zhang Yuan also transferred 50 big demons from his own guards to assist Chang Xiu, and ordered people to lead them. With the one million spiritual stones presented by Master Zhu, he returned to the King's City of Mohe.
