Chapter 429 Is It Stupid?

"Good news? What good news?" Emperor Xuanzong of Tang asked with a stern face.

"Your Majesty will soon have a sufficient amount of funds coming in, which will solve the urgent problem of insufficient funds for the troops at the front. Isn't this good news?"

After Long Junhai said this, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and Xue Rengui looked at each other with strange eyes. They originally wanted to set a trap for Long Junhai, but now they heard that the other party wanted to set a trap for them?

"What do you mean? I don't understand." Emperor Xuanzong of Tang said with a smile.

"What I mean is that I plan to buy the land and build a house, and then give 30% of the profit to the emperor!" Long Junhai said with a smile.

"Oh? Would you be so kind? The country's tax rate is only 10%, which was set by Emperor Taizong. How can I change it at will?" Tang Xuanzong said this because he was actually a little tempted.

"It's not an increase in taxes, but a personal donation from this humble official. When the time comes, I can do my bit to help the soldiers at the border." Long Junhai said with a smile.

"So that's how it is. But if you don't make any profit, how will you pay me?" asked Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I have made a preliminary estimate. The profit will be at least 100 billion Tongbao. If I give you 30% of the profit, that is 30 billion. Even if there is not so much profit, I will make up the 30 billion to Your Majesty. If the profit is more, I will give you more money! Isn't this good news?" Long Junhai asked with a smile.

"Ah? Thirty billion!"

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was very shocked. Although he was the emperor, he did not have much money. He had been losing wars in recent years, so he was a little stretched. His annual tax revenue was only about 100 billion. 30 billion was a considerable amount for him!

"Yes, Your Majesty, what do you think?" Long Junhai asked with a smile.

Emperor Xuanzong frowned, looked at Xue Rengui again, and said, "What do you think?"

Xue Rengui smiled and said, "Many things should be conditional, right? General Long wouldn't take out 30 billion so easily, right?"

Long Junhai laughed when he heard this, then said, "Yes, everything has its pros and cons. However, what I want to say has no impact on the Tang Dynasty. I just want the emperor to give me an approval document."

"Approval document? What approval document?" Emperor Xuanzong of Tang asked in confusion.

"I just ask the emperor to allow me to build a high-rise building in Chang'an City. Don't worry, it will definitely not exceed one hundred meters!" Long Junhai said seriously.

"Huh? So you want to build high-rise buildings! This is absolutely not possible. The fortune of the Tang Dynasty cannot be changed. Once everyone builds high-rise buildings, it will form bad feng shui and have a negative impact on the national fortune of the Tang Dynasty. This consequence cannot be compensated by spending money!" Tang Xuanzong said with a stern face.

Long Junhai smiled, then pulled out a blueprint and opened it, saying, "Your Majesty, please look! This is a Feng Shui secret map left behind by Imperial Master Yuan Tiangang. I've enlarged the original map and drawn it on this blueprint. According to the Imperial Master's calculations, this type of terrain is a very rare Eternal Emperor Vein. Those who live here will have their luck and strength increase rapidly. The construction of the Imperial Palace is a small Feng Shui formation. Why don't we expand this formation? It can directly include the entire Chang'an City, and then expand it to the entire country!"

"What does this have to do with what you said about building tall buildings?" Emperor Xuanzong of Tang asked in confusion.

"Of course there is a connection. Man-made high-rise buildings are equivalent to mountains. When they are connected together, they have momentum. More momentum can affect the fortune. The fortune of the Tang Dynasty has been much worse in recent years. Why not change the feng shui? Digging rivers, repairing mountains and changing roads. This large-scale construction can provide many jobs, allowing more people from other parts of the country to come to Chang'an to work. By then, the population of Chang'an will explode, and the national fortune will be much better. More importantly, the people in other areas have a low level of cultivation. After combining with the residents of Chang'an, it is easier for them to give birth to the next generation, and over time there will be more people!" After Long Junhai said this, Tang Xuanzong had some changes in his mind.

At this time, Xue Rengui also helped to say: "Your Majesty, the top priority of all is the border defense issue. Although the border of the Tang Dynasty is separated from the Immortal Demon Battlefield by several small empires, you must not forget that the soldiers on the front line need a large amount of supplies. Now the treasury is empty. We must not have any more internal and external troubles!"

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang nodded when he heard this. He tended to listen to Xue Rengui's advice because the other party was the pillar of the entire Tang Dynasty. He had to rely on Xue Rengui, otherwise he would not be able to sit firmly on the throne as emperor!

"Alright, let's do as General Long says. However, if we discover anything that will affect the fate of the Tang Dynasty, we must stop! And I need to see 30 billion Tang Dynasty treasure notes right now! Otherwise, nothing will be possible!"

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang would not release the eagle until he saw the rabbit. No matter how big the pie Long Junhai painted, he would not consider it. All he had to do was to get what he deserved first!

At this time, Long Junhai looked worried, and after hesitating for a long time, he said, "Your Majesty, if I give you 30 billion first, my capital chain will become tight, and the profit at that time will not be able to reach 100 billion!"

"Haha, didn't you say that your idea is very profitable? Even if you can't make 100 billion, you can always make 50 billion, right? It's better than losing money, right? Think it over carefully. Either pay the money first, or go back to continue running your bank." Tang Xuanzong said with a smile.

"Well... okay, I'll take out the 30 billion first!" Long Junhai sighed, took off a space ring reluctantly, then counted out the 30 billion in treasure notes and handed them to Gao Lishi.

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was stunned. He didn't expect that Long Junhai actually took out 30 billion. But after thinking about it carefully, it was normal for the other party to have so much money. He ran a bank. Although it was in a loss every day, it was very easy for him to withdraw 30 billion with so much other people's money. However, whether the other party could return the money to the people in full was not his concern. Anyway, this was a good opportunity to reduce his own financial pressure!

After receiving the money, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang immediately issued an imperial decree, allowing Long Junhai the right to build high-rise buildings. However, this was limited to Long Junhai alone, and the construction and improvements had to be strictly in accordance with the Feng Shui secret drawings left by Yuan Tiangang!

After receiving the imperial edict from Emperor Xuanzong, Long Junhai was extremely excited and immediately took his leave. After he left, Emperor Xuanzong couldn't help but ask, "Grand Marshal, do you think this guy is stupid? He may have no problem with his military prowess, but he's not cut out for business. I don't understand why he's so happy about a losing business?"
