Fengyun took out a Jingzi at this time, and was also a little surprised when he saw his own appearance.
But I soon figured it out.
"Hahaha, my face was just deformed by the wind."
"Ah? Okay! Let's not talk about this anymore."
Zhang Rang still didn't know what happened to Fengyun, so he immediately changed the subject.
"I called you here today to discuss your title and official position."
Fengyun was puzzled:
"Didn't you say that I could be promoted to the first rank as a doctor and an official?"
At this time, Zhang Rang smiled slightly.
"Is this all you want?"
"Ah? Can there be more?" Feng Yun looked at the other party in surprise.
"Of course. If you want, we can give you a higher price. It depends on what you want."
"Then can the General?"
When Zhang Rang heard that Feng Yun wanted the position of general, he almost staggered.
"This...this won't work. General He is still here, this can't be moved."
"Oh, then what official position and title can I get now?"
"Give you the rank of Third Rank Bandit-Suppressing General! It only costs 10,000 gold coins. To reach the rank of Left Minister, you will also need 10,000 gold coins."
Fengyun was quite tempted, especially by the official position, which was the third rank, not far from the first rank general.
He is not obsessed with the title of nobility.
An official position represents actual power, while a title to him is just a slightly higher salary from the court.
He spent so much money on it, why would he still care about that little salary?
But his money didn't come from the wind, so he bargained a little.
"Master Zhang, do you think this amount can be reduced?"
"No, considering your contribution, I've already given you the lowest price. It can't be any less."
Seeing Zhang Rang's resolute refusal, Feng Yun could only sigh:
"Alright then, I'll pay you 10,000 gold coins for a third-rank Bandit-Suppressing General."
"Okay, what about your title? Do you want a promotion?"
Seeing Zhang Rang's obscene smile, Feng Yun quickly waved his hand.
"No, I just want an official position."
Zhang Rang simply said, "Okay, once you pay the money, it will take effect immediately."
Fengyun was also very straightforward and gave the money directly to Zhang Rang.
Only then did Zhang Rang take out an imperial edict from his arms and handed it to Fengyun.
The moment Fengyun received the imperial edict, his position and title changed.
His official position was raised to the third rank General Suppressing Bandits, and his title was changed to Doctor.
Feng Yun finished his work and was about to leave, but Zhang Rang did not let him go.
Then he said mysteriously:
"Your Majesty wants to rebuild the West Garden. As your ministers, each of you must hand over some timber. Depending on your official position and title, everyone must hand over a certain amount of timber."
Well, you're waiting for me here. How could I have forgotten about this?
Fengyun wanted to slap himself a few times.
This was the famous Xiyuan wood hoarding incident back then.
He had to hand over the wood, but he couldn't just let this happen and suffer a loss in vain.
He immediately thought of a countermeasure and asked:
"So how much wood do I need to hand over?"
"You are a third-grade wood, so you need to hand over 10,000 pieces of third-grade wood."
"Okay!" Feng Yun gritted his teeth and agreed, but continued to ask:
"Master Zhang, I wonder if the other ministers know about this?"
"I don't know yet, but doesn't this require someone to serve as a role model? His Majesty intends for you to be a role model for all the ministers. That's why you were able to buy a third-rank official position so cheaply."
Well! Liu Hong has become the first one to stick his head out again. The first one to stick his head out gets shot.
Now he is just a pawn of others and can only be manipulated by others.
He agreed without hesitation; he must set an example.
"Okay, now is the time for me, as a subject, to express my gratitude. However, I don't have that much level three wood right now, so I need to go back and collect some."
There is no shortage of it in Fengyun’s Qiubai City, he only needs to take out a part of it and hand it over.
But in order to make more money, he had to delay it.
Zhang Rang was also very happy to see Feng Yun like this, and agreed immediately.
"Okay, go and raise the funds first. Once you hand over the timber, we will begin to announce the construction of West Garden."
"Yes, I will definitely go and raise the materials and deliver the wood as soon as possible, but Sir Zhang must not tell anyone before this."
"Okay, no problem. I trust you to handle this matter."
Zhang Rang was of course very relieved. Feng Yun took out so much money without blinking an eye, so buying these timbers was certainly a piece of cake.
"Then I won't bother you any more today. I need to take care of my business first."
"Okay, go ahead."
Fengyun immediately left Zhang's house and immediately pulled the three women up to connect to the microphone.
"What's wrong? Husband. Is there something wrong?" Hu Xiaodan asked with a smile in the camera.
Fengyun didn't waste any more time talking to them and immediately got to the point:
"Look, there's a very lucrative job for you guys to do, so be sure to do it quickly."
Hearing that there was money to be made, the three girls' eyes lit up and they cheered:
"Husband, how do you make money? Tell me quickly."
Fengyun briefly explained Zhang Rang's recent purchase of wood and continued:
"This matter has affected the entire government and the country. I predict that the price of high-grade wood will rise sharply in the future. You should immediately go to the timber merchants in various states to purchase the first to fifth grade wood. Also, notify Panasonic Naruto and Alpha to purchase the same. It doesn't matter how much it costs. Your husband and I have plenty of money."
"Okay! Let's get started."
Now only Fengyun has the strength to monopolize high-grade timber.
The reason why he didn't let the three women go to the market to buy wood was that he didn't want to alert the players.
You have to know that today's players have a very keen sense of smell. Once they smell any sign of trouble, they will immediately take action.
If you purchase from timber merchants, the market response will be a little delayed.
But that's enough. It's impossible for him to really buy up all the high-grade wood. As long as he can manipulate the price, it will be profitable.
The three women immediately and secretly informed the village chiefs about this matter and asked them to send people to contact familiar timber merchants.
At the same time, the heads of the state branches of the Overlord Village Guild also contacted timber merchants to purchase timber.
In addition, Naruto and Alpha also started to take action.
At this time, Fengyun's money was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, just like the receding tide.
He had been firmly on the list of the world's richest people, but now he has fallen out of the top 100.
Zhang Rang saw that a whole day had passed and thought that it was about time.
Then he sent a pigeon letter to Fengyun. How could Fengyun stop at this time? He just found an excuse and said:
"Sir, please wait a little longer. Grade three lumber is hard to find on the market. Give me a few more days. I'll definitely be able to find it."
"Really?" Zhang Rang was still a little unconvinced.
Feng Yun said firmly, "Sir, it is true. Absolutely true."
