"The people in the demon world are much more cruel than we imagined. They will stop at nothing to destroy the creatures in our fairy world. Therefore, it is not enough to just have extraordinary strategies. You also need a firm and strong heart, decisive and fierce courage. General Long basically has these conditions, but he is still a little weak. With more training in the future, he will grow into a great man!" Xue Rengui praised with a smile.
In fact, there are not many people who can be used in the Tang Empire. Although there are many military generals, they only know martial arts and lack a lot of strategies. Although the literary monks have good strategies, they lack decisiveness and are slow to do things, which will only cost the lives of the soldiers!
Long Junhai smiled bitterly. He was being called weak by the other party. In fact, when he got fierce, even he was afraid of him! It was just that he had separated the negative energy in his body before, so he seemed much more easygoing.
At this time, Xue Rengui said to Emperor Xuanzong: "Your Majesty, General Long deserves the title of No. 1 Scholar. You can reward him."
Emperor Xuanzong nodded and said, "Then I will confer upon Long Junhai the title of the new number one scholar, with his official rank unchanged, and a reward of 100 million Tang Dynasty treasure notes."
Long Junhai was very satisfied with the result. He did not ask for much power, but only wanted the title of No. 1 scholar. Emperor Xuanzong of Tang also felt that this was a bit unfair to him, so he rewarded Long Junhai with 100 million Tang Dynasty treasure notes. This amount of money was not too much, but not too little either, and it could be considered a consolation prize.
Long Junhai didn't care about these things. After Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty awarded him the title of No. 1 scholar, his talent increased again, and the tender buds grown from the Qingxuan Holy Tree grew several more green leaves!
Long Junhai wondered why a mere Golden Immortal-level Tang Xuanzong could possess such immense power with just one word. This wasn't due to his cultivation or technique, but rather to his special connection with the Heavenly Dao. Ultimately, it was also the result of arrangements made by the founding emperor, Tang Taizong.
"Brother Long, congratulations! You have indeed become the top scorer in the imperial examination!" Li Bai said happily.
"It's all thanks to Brother Li's help, otherwise I wouldn't have become the top scorer so quickly." Long Junhai said with a smile.
"Hey! You're too polite, brother! I'm just a guide. The key still depends on your own strength! If you were a fool who knew nothing, how could you have come here by overcoming all the obstacles? And you almost defeated the Grand Marshal!" Li Bai said with a smile.
At this time, Xue Rengui said, "General Long is indeed good at strategy, and his fighting ability is amazing. Are you interested in joining me on the Immortal Demon Battlefield?"
Long Junhai smiled upon hearing this, and then said, "My ability is not enough now. When I can make further progress, I will definitely go to the Immortal Demon Battlefield to train!"
Long Junhai is only a Golden Immortal now. Even though he is powerful, on the battlefield it is not just about personal combat power, but also about the ability to cooperate with each other. Otherwise, an inexperienced Golden Immortal-level master can be surrounded and killed by hundreds of experienced mortal immortals!
What Long Junhai needs to do now is to accumulate a lot of his own luck, practice literature well, and give himself more trump cards, so that he can cope with various changes in the future.
After taking part in the palace examination, Long Junhai returned to his residence and continued to take care of his bank business.
Perhaps because of his title as the top scholar, or perhaps because of his improved luck, Long Junhai had more and more customers coming to deposit money in the following days, but the number of people using loans was still very small.
However, Long Junhai was not worried at all. If no one used the loan, he would take out a loan to invest in the project himself, but the prerequisite was that he had to accumulate a huge amount of funds.
A few months passed, and Long Junhai had more than 100 billion yuan in liquid funds, including tens of billions in long-term deposits. With such a huge amount, he felt it was time to start his next plan.
The first thing to do when investing is to seek out an industry with stable capital. Although this may not bring the highest profits, it can provide a very stable income.
However, what Long Junhai needs now is to invest in a high-profit industry to drive the surrounding economic development, so he chose the real estate industry.
People in the Tang Empire like to buy land. They don't like to live in the mountains to practice, because the mundane life in the city can also improve their cultivation, which is more interesting in comparison. It is much more comfortable than sitting still for thousands of years, so many people are thinking about building a comfortable house for themselves.
Long Junhai was rich now, so buying hundreds of houses in luxury areas shouldn't be a problem. He also felt that giving each person a house was a waste of resources. Why not build them a little higher? That way, everyone could live closer together, making it easier for them to interact with each other.
However, there is still a problem blocking Long Junhai, that is the Tang Dynasty's order prohibiting the construction of high-rise buildings. After all, if there is no such restriction, everyone will build them crazily. One person can build thousands of floors, just like a mountain, which will destroy the feng shui of the palace!
Therefore, before this, Long Junhai still had to discuss this matter with Emperor Xuanzong of Tang!
Long Junhai entered the palace again, and every time he entered the palace, he gave Emperor Xuanzong of Tang a headache.
"Your Majesty, General Hailong, the Dragon King, requests to see you." Gao Lishi whispered from the side.
"What is he here for again? Can't he see that I am discussing military affairs with Marshal Xue? Don't see him!" Emperor Xuanzong of Tang said angrily.
Gao Lishi was so frightened that he dared not utter a word. Xue Rengui, standing beside him, smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. Although General Long is a bit casual in his actions, he is not a rebellious person. I heard that he is now running his bank all day and is losing a lot of money every day! I think he came here because of money, right?"
"Money? That's even more unacceptable! He persuaded me to invest in the bank before, and said that the bank would definitely make money, and asked me to lend him the money in the national treasury! Now look, he has lost money! Fortunately, I am very wise!" Tang Xuanzong said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, the war on the front line is tense now. Money is needed in all aspects, and the national treasury is not abundant. Since General Long has the courage to pay compensation, why can't you persuade him to invest all the money in the army?" Xue Rengui suggested with a smile.
Emperor Xuanzong thought for a moment, then said, "I'm afraid this is a bit difficult. This guy is very shrewd. He would rather lose money than invest it in the army!"
"Why doesn't Your Majesty give it a try?"
After Xue Rengui said this, Tang Xuanzong hesitated and said, "Okay, let Long Junhai come in."
Gao Lishi took the order and immediately brought Long Junhai in.
"Your Majesty, I have good news for you!" Long Junhai said with a smile as soon as they met.
