After marking all the buildings in the village on the small map one by one, people would come in and out of the village from time to time.

As soon as that half group of bandits ran into the village, the village was in chaos.

Groups of bandits were gathering, and finally about a thousand of them were sent out to the place where they were killed.

"There are probably over ten thousand people in this village."

After Fengyun took inventory, he quietly landed in a corner.

He did not continue to entangle with this village, but went to find the next village.

…

Five or six days passed, and Fengyun had searched the entire Juyan Lake. At this time, Zhang Rang urged again.

"General Fengyun, it's been so long, have you gathered enough wood?"

"I'll ask right away. Please wait a moment, Master Zhang."

Feng Yun then calmly connected with the three women again.

"How are you getting your high-grade wood? How much has the market price increased?"

"Honey, we're almost out of money. But fortunately, it's almost impossible to get high-quality wood in large quantities on the market."

"Hahaha, let's put it on hold then. I'm broke. But the price will go up again soon. I'll go get the lumber first."

Fengyun casually took a look at the high-grade wood in recent days and found that it showed that the prices had basically increased by 50%.

This shows how much impact their large quantities of materials have on the market.

Fengyun first ran to the nearest city, then took the teleportation array, got the wood and came to Luoyang.

This time he had to come in person.

The opportunities to fleece Liu Hong are becoming fewer and fewer, and he will be dead soon.

If you don't come and get closer to him, you will have no chance.

Fengyun found Zhang Rang with the wood.

"Master Zhang, I'm here. Everything is ready." Feng Yun said with a smile.

"Hahaha, good. Let's go! His Majesty is holding his morning court. I'll take you there now."

Zhang Rang led Fengyun all the way through the palace without any obstruction and arrived outside the hall.

"Announce! General Fengyun, the third-rank bandit-suppressing general, is here to see you!"

Feng Yun only heard the announcement from inside the hall, and then he walked in quickly with his head down.

This was Zhang Rang's instruction, telling him not to look up at His Majesty.

"Your Majesty, Fengyun, pays homage! May Your Majesty live long and long!"

"Hiss!" Zhang Rang on the side took a breath and looked at Feng Yun with a bad look. This guy really knows how to cause trouble.

The Ten Eunuchs had never thought that they could flatter someone in this way. This person must not be allowed to stay in the palace.

The faces of all the court officials suddenly darkened.

Who the hell is this person? How can he be so shameless?

Liu Hong had never heard such a fresh, refined and pleasant speech before, and he was very pleased.

"Hahaha, great! Crazy dear, I wonder if you have anything important to say to me this time?"

Fengyun's face couldn't help but twitch. It was clearly him who asked him to come.

Now I have to cooperate with him in acting.

"Your Majesty! I recently heard that your West Garden was destroyed by fire, which deeply distressed you. I am guilty of not being able to share your worries. Today, I have specially brought you 10,000 pieces of third-grade wood as a small token of my appreciation. I ask that you rebuild the West Garden."

Liu Hong wanted it, but he had to pretend to be sad.

"Alas, Lord Feng, you don't know. I accept your kindness, but you don't know that the reconstruction of the West Garden requires a huge amount of wood. You can't handle it with what you have."

Feng Yun had no choice but to say, "I am guilty. I was unable to bring more high-grade wood to Your Majesty, but my abilities are limited, and I really cannot help Your Majesty solve his problems."

At this time, Zhang Rang immediately echoed:

"Your Majesty! Since General Feng has already provided so much high-grade wood, I, an old servant, cannot be left behind. I will also present Your Majesty with 10,000 pieces of second-grade wood."

"Okay, I appreciate your kindness, Father. But it's still not enough!"

The three of them sang in unison, and the ministers buried their heads deeply in their necks at this moment, because they had a premonition that something bad was going to happen.

Anyone who dares to show any eagerness to try at this time will definitely be punished by His Majesty.

After Liu Hong finished speaking, he looked up at the others, only to see that they were all like ostriches, with their heads almost buried in the ground.

I was so angry that I had to find someone else to continue setting an example.

"General Zhang, I see you're eager to express your thoughts, so why not have you speak?"

The position of Grand Marshal has been replaced by two people, and the current Grand Marshal is Zhang Wen.

Zhang Wen cursed inwardly, "Do I look like I really want to say this?"

But since Liu Hong called him, he had to come out and say a few words.

"Your Majesty! Since the West Garden has burned down, I think we should not rebuild it. The Han Dynasty is plagued by years of war and the treasury is empty. We simply cannot spare the money to purchase wood."

At this time, Zhang Rang, the head of the Ten Attendants, was unhappy. He was afraid that Feng Yun would take the lead, so he immediately stood up and said:

"General Zhang, that's wrong. The treasury is empty, but our family and General Feng have set an example. So, if the people of the world could make a small contribution, and everyone gave a little timber, wouldn't that be enough to build the West Garden?"

Now some people refused.

"Zhang Rang, do you know how expensive wood is these days? How much wood would it cost to build a Western Emperor? How could ordinary people afford that much money?"

Zhang asked himself to pay everything, and at this time he would absolutely not allow others not to pay.

He immediately refuted:

"I'm not asking you to contribute alone. I'm suggesting that everyone contribute a little bit. That way, West Garden can be built, right?"

"Zhang Rang, our Han Dynasty is facing a time of great turmoil. If we can avoid building this, we should do so. This will save the people from suffering."

"So are you just going to sit back and watch His Majesty have nowhere to have fun? As His Majesty's subjects, can't you share His Majesty's worries?"

Seeing that everyone was at a stalemate, Liu Hong's resentment was gradually increasing. At this time, Feng Yun made a timely suggestion.

"I think you gentlemen must be thinking about the people. How about we not trouble the people this time and let the gentlemen in the court contribute a little."

When they heard that they had to pay for the wood, they wailed as if their flesh had been cut:

"No, we have no food left. The Yellow Turbans took all our money."

Before Liu Hong got angry, Zhang Rang got angry first.

"Hmph! After all, you just can't be bothered to pay for the timber. Your Majesty, may I suggest that we hand over different grades of timber according to the ministers' official positions?"

"I approve. Then, just like Lord Feng, first-rank officials will hand over 10,000 pieces of first-rank timber, second-rank officials will hand over 10,000 pieces of second-rank timber, and so on."

"yes!"

Upon hearing the result, Zhang Wen fell to the ground and fainted from fright.

You should know that first-grade wood and third-grade wood cannot be compared in terms of quantity or price.

If he were really asked to hand over so much first-grade timber, his Zhang family would definitely go bankrupt.
