Emperor Xuanzong smiled upon hearing this, and then said, "I don't care about anything else. I only care about how much tax you can pay me. In recent days, many people have wanted to take the right to build high-rise buildings from me, but I think it is safer to leave this matter to you, so I directly refused. So, General Long, don't let me down!"
The meaning of what Emperor Xuanzong said was very clear, because if Long Junhai did not pay taxes honestly, then he would transfer this right to someone else, and then Long Junhai would get nothing!
Hearing this, Long Junhai also smiled and said, "Your Majesty, some things may not be done well by another person. There will definitely be a lot of tax issues. The cost of one trillion in sales is indeed several hundred billion, but don't forget that this money still needs to be circulated, otherwise the project will have to be stopped. Therefore, the current profit funds that can be taken out are only 100 billion. The 30 billion I gave to Your Majesty before is my personal support for the Tang army. I will pay taxes again later, and it will still be 30 billion!"
Long Junhai gave Gao Lishi 30 billion Tongbao coins. Upon hearing this, Emperor Xuanzong was extremely happy! With this money, he could relax a little! As for transferring this power to someone else, he had never thought about it at all, because he knew that as Long Junhai said, if someone else did the same thing, the effect would definitely be different. If someone messed up such a profitable business for him, it would be really troublesome!
Long Junhai and Li Bai left the palace together. As they walked down the street, Li Bai smiled and said, "Brother, some things are really not easy. You make so much money, and you still have to pay so much tax. You're the only one in the entire Tang Empire who has such courage!"
"Haha, sometimes if you don't suffer a little, how can you get more rewards? In fact, even if I give the emperor 100 billion, there will be some profit. The result I want is not a little money now, but more money in the future! I want to make everyone in the Tang Empire rich enough to rival an entire country, and I myself will be the richest person!"
The reason why Long Junhai did this was to see how much luck he could get after he had countless wealth in the end!
"Haha, brother, you are a hero with great courage. Let's go. Let's go to my Changlefang for a drink together. It's been a long time since I asked you to drink with me!" Li Bai said with a smile.
"Well, after being busy for so many days, I really need to relax a little."
As Long Junhai said this, he followed Li Bai to Changlefang. This was Li Bai's territory. The other party used the best things to entertain them. The two of them soon drank to their heart's content and were completely drunk.
Long Junhai did not use his magical powers to resist the anesthesia of alcohol. He felt that this dazed feeling was quite comfortable. It was really a drink that could dispel all worries!
In the afternoon, Changlefang became more lively. Two maids came to wake up Li Bai and Long Junhai, saying that a friend had come. It seemed that he was a friend of some importance!
"Oh! You're drunk again! I forgot about this, Brother Long. I forgot to tell you that today it's not just the two of us drinking. I have a few good friends coming back from the border, and I specially invited them to get together in Changlefang. You don't mind, do you?" Li Bai said with a smile.
"How could I mind? Since he is your friend, he must be my friend as well. It would be nice for us to meet together." Long Junhai said with a smile.
Just as he finished speaking, three people came in from outside the door. They were all dressed in armor and looked murderous, but judging from their appearance, these three people were still relatively gentle.
"Xiaobai, are you drunk again? We waited at the door for a long time before we heard your voice." One of the tall and thin young men with a stern face said with a smile.
"Wang Bo, you guessed it right! I just sobered up and forgot about welcoming you!" Li Bai said frankly with a smile.
"I knew you like to drink, so I brought back some old liquor from the border. Let's try it later." A burly man put two pots of wine in his hands on the table.
"Is this little bit of wine enough for us to drink? Lu You, you are too stingy!" Li Bai smiled and hugged Lu You again.
"Stop talking and start cooking! This is frontier beef, it tastes great!"
Another bearded man took out a large piece of beef from the space ring and placed it on the table.
"Wang Changling, you still like eating meat so much. Can you eat less? If you continue eating like this, I'm afraid you can even crush the warhorse!" Li Bai said with a smile.
Wang Bo? Wang Changling? Lu You? Haha, these three great poets actually became good friends with Li Bai! This surprised Long Junhai a little.
"Who is this? Why does he look so unfamiliar?"
Wang Bo looked at Long Junhai. The fact that he could stand side by side with Li Bai showed that his status must be high, at least he was not a servant. However, Long Junhai's strength was only that of a Golden Immortal. How could such a person be on par with Li Bai and the others?
"Oh, look at my brain. This is General Long Jun Hailong. He is not from the Tang Dynasty, but from the Shang Empire. His master is Tongtian Sect Master. Brother Long is a straightforward person. He is not only good at both civil and military affairs, but also a good businessman! It is estimated that in a few days he will become rich enough to rival a country!" Li Bai praised with a smile.
Wang Bo and the other two were stunned when they heard this. Li Bai seldom praised others, and he would never personally say that someone was proficient in both civil and military affairs. Besides, how much wealth would it take for a person to become as rich as a country in the Tang Dynasty?
At this time, Long Junhai stepped forward with a smile and said, "Brother Li, you are too kind. I am just an ordinary cultivator, and you are the pillars of the Tang Dynasty. You are people I admire very much. I have heard your poems a long time ago, but I have never had the opportunity to meet you in person. It is truly a great honor to meet you today!"
"Haha, brother, don't be so polite. The three of us are all rough guys. Although we practice the way of literature, we are not good at it. We are still far behind Xiaobai, so we also practice martial arts. Otherwise, we are not qualified to be Xiaobai's friends!" Lu You said with a smile.
Li Bai asked curiously, "Brother Long, how did you hear about the poetry these three wrote? They haven't returned to the Tang Dynasty in tens of thousands of years, and they haven't left any poems behind! Didn't you flatter me?"
Long Junhai was stunned. He had never thought that these three people hadn't returned to the Tang Dynasty for tens of thousands of years! It seemed that he was really too polite! However, he still smiled and said, "Alas, sometimes good things can't be hidden. Just like the poem written by Brother Wang Bo, "A bosom friend is in the sea, and the world is as close as a neighbor." It is really beautiful!"
