After Chu Zhenglin conducted an in-depth analysis of the situation, the princes of the Royal Government Affairs Office generally believed that his proposal was quite feasible. Based on this, they also tacitly acknowledged the legitimacy of Lin Pingzhi's possession of the Supreme Card. After all, the Royal Yuya Villa was directly managed by the Wei royal family, so for them, ensuring that Lin Pingzhi could hold the Supreme Card was not difficult;
However, the princes also made a clear requirement, which was that Lin Pingzhi could not use the Supreme Card to ascend Chuitai Mountain at will unless he received official notification from the princes of the Royal Government Affairs Office. As for the Royal Yuya Villa, Lin Pingzhi could freely use the Supreme Card for various consumption activities.
Therefore, Lin Pingzhi not only always dressed as a woman, but also gave himself a female name, Qiu Lingshan.
Elsewhere in Ningwai, it was the third day of the Royal Bank's opening in Kaifeng City, Wei. After successfully auctioning off ten well-forged weapons, Chen Yunhan began carefully counting all the silver the Royal Bank had received.
She carefully recorded every income and bound the account book into a volume. After completing these tasks, she took the bound account book and walked into the palace to report her work to Chu Fan.
Chen Yunhan respectfully handed the account book to Chu Fan with both hands, and a hint of respect was revealed in her tone: "Your Majesty, according to the latest statistics, the Royal Bank has successfully issued ten Supreme Cards, twenty Gold Cards, and a full one thousand Bronze Cards."
Chu Fan listened to Chen Yunhan's report, an expression of disbelief gradually appearing on his face. He couldn't help but ask again to confirm what he had heard: "Can you repeat how much silver our Royal Bank exchanged?"
Chen Yunhan maintained a respectful attitude and answered clearly, "Your Majesty, in the past two days, the Royal Bank has collected a total of one million taels of gold and thirty million taels of silver."
Upon hearing this exciting news, Chu Fan's face lit up with joy. He said to Chen Yunhan approvingly, "Chen Yunhan, you've done an excellent job. I'll give you a raise starting next month. You've made an indelible contribution to the prosperity of Royal Elegant Villa. You'll definitely have a place by my side in the future."
Upon hearing His Majesty's words, Chen Yunhan felt a surge of joy. She felt immensely honored. Her blush deepened as she quickly knelt to express her gratitude for His Majesty's grace. She respectfully said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. I promise to do my utmost and give it my all, and I will never let Your Majesty down."
Chen Yunhan understood Chu Fan's words in her heart. She thought Chu Fan meant that from now on she would become an indispensable part of His Majesty's side, just like Mu Xi and her other loyal followers.
As Chu Fan said, this strong woman is simply his right-hand man. With such a powerful assistant, he can use the platform of Royal Yuya Villa to obtain more abundant gold, silver and treasures and achieve greater wealth accumulation.
It was precisely because Chen Yunhan and Chu Fan had different understandings of the same sentence that a subtle misunderstanding arose between them. Although this small misunderstanding seemed insignificant at the moment, perhaps in the future, it might become an important factor affecting their relationship.
Chu Fan continued, his tone tinged with doubt and curiosity. He asked, "Can you tell me in detail who has applied for these Supreme Cards and Gold Cards? Are there still so many forces in Wei State who can easily come up with 10 million taels of silver?"
Chen Yunhan flipped open the thick account book and began to explain in detail, "Most of the clients who apply for Supreme Cards are not from our Wei Kingdom, but from forces in other countries. Among them are the Empress of the Canglan Empire, the Tianjian Sect of the Desolate Kingdom, the Fire God Cult of the Canglan Empire, the Snow Region Chamber of Commerce in the northern border, the neutral Julu Academy from the Shengwu Continent, the Tianfeng Sect of our Wei Kingdom, the Yunyin Sect of the southern border, the Rashomon of the Qin Kingdom, the Xuantian Temple of the Tianlan Kingdom, and the Tiexue Chamber of Commerce from the Maya Empire.
These forces are not only financially strong, but also extremely interested in the resources currently available to our country. Their purpose in applying for Supreme Cards is not only to be able to ascend Chuitai Mountain to view the secret manuals of our Wei Kingdom, but also because, besides our Wei Kingdom, other countries have a huge demand for Hundred Refined Weapons, and they need to obtain these precious weapons through the auction at the Divine Weapon Pavilion.
In addition, they are also interested in strengthening trade and commerce with our country to promote economic exchanges between the two sides."
Chu Fan was bewildered after hearing this. He couldn't understand why these forces were suddenly showing goodwill towards Wei. He secretly wondered if there was some hidden conspiracy behind this. However, after a moment's contemplation, Chu Fan decided not to delve further.
After all, since these forces are willing to spend huge sums of money, the Wei State, as the host, naturally has no reason to refuse such kindness. It would be wise to accept the money.
Chu Fan looked at Chen Yunhan tenderly. Her slightly haggard face caught his eye, and he couldn't help but reveal a trace of heartache. He said softly, "You've endured too much pressure and hardship during this period of time. Now that things are over, you should go back and have a good rest."
Chu Fan then addressed Eunuch Li beside him, his tone carrying a hint of unquestionable authority. He ordered, "Little Li, immediately take out one hundred taels of gold from the inner treasury and give it to Chen Yunhan as a reward for her hard work and outstanding contributions."
Eunuch Li took the order and left, and Chen Yunhan also slowly retreated after expressing his gratitude.
Chu Fan was originally worried about whether the ten Supreme Cards could be issued smoothly, but he didn't expect that all of them would be issued after just two days. However, unexpectedly, after only two days, all the Supreme Cards had been processed and issued smoothly.
Chu Fan's original plan was to attract funds from the powerful and wealthy people in Wei State to flow into the Royal Yuya Villa by launching membership cards of different levels, thereby bringing in more financial income for himself and increasing the reserves in his own treasury.
Unexpectedly, instead of harvesting gold, silver and treasures from the prominent nobles and powerful clans in Wei State, a large amount of gold and silver wealth was unexpectedly harvested from other countries.
At this moment, Chu Fan silently calculated the one million taels of gold he possessed, almost being overwhelmed by this sudden feeling of happiness. One million taels of gold, converted into grams, is a full 50 million grams of gold. Even at the conservative price of 600 yuan per gram, it is equivalent to a huge fortune of 30 billion.
With such a huge amount of funds, if Chu Fan can successfully complete the mission and return to Blue Star, just depositing the money in the bank and earning interest will be enough to ensure that he will have no worries for the rest of his life and live a rich and comfortable life.
