Chapter 35 The Richest Businessman in the World (1) (2/5)



With the support of both sides, Xiao Huang ascended the throne, and Yun Hui naturally became the empress. As for the affectionate male supporting role Chen Tang, although he was the richest man in the world, merchants were of low status. The emperor wanted to expand his territory, so he naturally needed money. He even had the idea of becoming the empress. The emperor was cold-hearted, so it was easy for him to fabricate a few charges, confiscate his property and exile him.

Lin Su lay on the side of the road, exchanged pills for recovery pills, and had a friendly conversation with the system: [Next time you choose a world, can you choose a person who died lying in bed?]

He always lies on the ground. Fortunately, this is the era of long robes and long sleeves. If it were the era of short skirts and short sleeves, it would be terrible if he saw under a little girl's skirt.

[OK host, I will record the feedback for you here.] 06 answered diligently and responsibly.

The injuries on his body were obviously not as painful as before, and his strength was gradually recovering. When Lin Su supported himself on the ground and sat up, he looked at the clay bowl in front of him with half of its mouth missing and looked at it with interest. He had been many people, but this was the first time he became a beggar. It was very novel and interesting.

Just as he was about to pick up his bowl, a slender hand like jade handed him a steaming hot meat bun. His vision and smell were doubly shocked, and he couldn't tell which was more attractive, the meat bun or the hand.

Lin Su looked up and saw a young man covered in silk and satin looking at him with a smile. His peach blossom eyes were naturally curved, and he had a naturally romantic and suave look. His luxurious skirt and silk fan with mutton-fat jade hanging on it were out of place in this muddy land, and also out of place with Lin Su at the moment.

[06 System issues tasks: Task 1: Survive as the original owner; Task 2: Change the original fate of the male supporting character, Chen Tang.]

[It seems that the three male supporting characters I met all have a homophone in their names.] Lin Su seemed to be stunned on the spot and did not pick up the meat bun for a while.

06 The mechanical voice is extremely honest: [You think too much, host.]

"I haven't thought about anything yet," Lin Su said.

06 remained silent and played the game of silence is golden.

"Little beggar, you don't even want a meat bun." The young man, who exuded wealth, seemed to have a natural smile in his voice, which made him seem like he was flirting with everyone he spoke to. "If you don't want it, I'll take it back."

"Thank you, sir," Lin Su quickly adjusted his state. When he stretched out his hand, he saw the hesitation in the young man's eyes, and carefully took the meat bun. Although the bun was stained with some mud, the young man's hands were still white and clean.

But after he retracted his hand, he still rubbed it gently a few times where Lin Su couldn't see, obviously he was a little bit of a germaphobe.

Chen Tang curled his lips as he watched the beggar eating the buns. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he heard the beggar ask, "Sir, I will never forget your great kindness. May I ask your name?"

"You beggar seem to be educated," Chen Tang said with a smile, flinging aside his folding fan. "There are few people in this capital who don't know my name. I am Chen Tang of the Shen family. There is no need to repay my kindness."

After he finished speaking, he turned around in a casual manner, but happened to meet a girl who looked at him shyly. He touched her chin with his folding fan, and watched her stamp her feet and leave shyly before he walked away. He was a real playboy.

"Chen Tang," Lin Su looked at the half-eaten bun in his hand, took out the one or two taels of silver that was sharp on his teeth, hid it in his arms, then stood up and left.

No matter why the richest man suddenly felt like giving him a tael of silver, his ingenuity and kindness were already very interesting.

In the original worldline, Chen Tang wasn't favored by the protagonist and Yun Hui for two reasons: first, merchants were considered lowly, while scholars, farmers, merchants, and artisans were considered high-ranking. Even the richest man in the world couldn't hold a higher position than Yun Hui's family, a poor noble family. This was a difference in perceptions based on social status, so no one was to blame. Second, this supporting male character, dressed like a flamboyant peacock, was a womanizer. Although he was a poet, he often frequented brothels and even though he was a clean stylist, no one believed him.

In this era, the power of class is definitely not something that can be easily overcome. The emperor's power is beyond imagination. As long as it is not criticized openly, no one is really stupid enough to go against the emperor. If the emperor is wise, the censors can still play a fearless role. If the emperor is incompetent, you can't change the emperor's decision even if you bang your head against a pillar.

Unfortunately, the emperor of this world can be said to be incompetent and tyrannical. Even if the protagonist later came to the throne, according to Lin Su's analysis of the original world line, that person was not someone who was trapped by the throne and could not be easily influenced by others.

There are two reasons for the tragic ending of sinking into the pond: one is that he occupied the biggest piece of cake but was unable to protect it, and the other is that the prodigal son's return was for the wrong person.

If you want to change his ending, you must first grab his cake and then grab his person.

06 analyzed it and said: [Host, this is immoral.]

"He provoked me first," Lin Su said with a smile, flicking the silver coin. "Look, this is the token of love he gave me."

06Silent.

After just a romance between two worlds, the host's face was already strong enough to withstand bullets and gunfire, which really refreshed the system's cognition.

You need money before doing anything. My original body had no way of doing that, but with Lin Su, many things are easy to solve. The more backward the era, the easier it is to make money.

Of course, you need to have a pot of gold before you can make money.

There are also slums in the capital city. The streets there are narrow, only allowing one or two people to pass side by side, and a foul smell wafts from somewhere from time to time. Fortunately, Lin Su had long been accustomed to the smell of mud on his body, otherwise he would have been suffocated before he found the person.

In a precarious-looking shack, several people in patched clothes were sharing a roasted chicken. Their dirty faces and hands were covered in greasy dirt, but it didn't seem to affect their appetite at all.

If Lin Su was wealthy and prominent, he would feel pity for people like this if he passed by here occasionally. However, after his original body was beaten half to death by these people and he experienced the pain after coming here, he had a different opinion.

"Everyone," Lin Su tossed the silver in his hand and called out to those people.

Several people turned around impatiently, looking at Lin Su with ferocious eyes: "You didn't die after being beaten like that, Li Ergou, you are lucky, hurry up and give it to grandpa..."

Their gazes suddenly changed when they saw the silver in Lin Su's hand. Instead of being friendly and flattering, they were filled with mockery and desire. A bunch of people put down their chickens and stood up, pinching their fingers and rubbing their shoulders. One person pressed Lin Su's shoulder with a threatening look on his face: "What? You just got the money and you're already here to honor us?"

The people behind him laughed along. Lin Su lowered his head and smiled. He pressed his fingers on the hand on his shoulder and exerted a little force. The man who had just laughed so smugly suddenly had a face distorted with pain. He hurriedly pulled his hand away and blew it to his mouth, shouting, "This kid is here to cause trouble. Kill him!"
