Chapter 928 Ling Yun Becomes a Profligate Businessman
Su Nuan still didn't understand, "Why?"
Ling Yun smiled and said, "Because they usually quarrel when they go to court. Even if I don't quarrel with them, they will quarrel among themselves."
"This will definitely disrupt your rest. I will avoid anything that makes you uncomfortable."
Su Nuan chuckled, "You are so willful."
Ling Yun hugged Su Nuan and said with a smile: "I am just willful."
The two of them walked into the main hall with smiles on their faces. Su Nuan found that it was very empty. In the words of later generations, there was nothing here except the load-bearing walls.
Ling Yun was silent for a moment and then said, "Fortunately, there are windows and doors, and the roof doesn't leak."
Su Nuan chuckled, "Well, I'll design this place, and you go design your throne room. I remember there's a ready-made dragon throne in the space."
Ling Yun nodded, "Okay."
The layout of the new imperial city was a huge project. Su Nuan and Ling Yun were busy for a whole month before turning a cold city into a green and vibrant one.
The rivers in the city use a water circulation system made of Hailan, which introduces groundwater and then allows the water to circle outside the palace and enter the water purification outlet. If the water level is low, the underground water pump will automatically replenish water.
Although the imperial city is a whole, there is no problem in digging a hole to draw groundwater from a place where there is no mechanism.
After the city river was completed, Su Nuan said worriedly: "There are mechanisms under the foundation of the city, so we can't dig wells casually."
"So what are the residents going to do with their water? We can't just ask them to fetch water from the river, right?"
“There is also sewage, and it seems the drainage system has not been built and is not in line with the facilities of our high-end residence.”
Ling Yun nodded and said, "Ask my brother-in-law, maybe he has a good idea."
Su Nuan nodded, and she pulled Ling Yun into the space.
Hailan glanced at them, then pointed at the things on the open space and said, "Here, what you want are the water pump, hose, water storage bucket, sewer pipe, and garbage crusher."
"By the way, your sewage needs to be discharged into the purification barrel. The equipment inside the barrel will purify the water, and then it will become pure water and flow into the ground."
"Well... this set is enough for the daily living of 50,000 people, but your city probably can't accommodate that many people."
Su Nuan didn't expect Hai Lan to have thought of everything. She hugged Hai Lan's arm and shook him, "Thank you, brother."
Ling Yun squinted his eyes but said nothing.
Hai Lan raised her hand and tapped Su Nuan on the forehead, "You have forgotten the most important point."
Su Nuan asked blankly, "What is it?"
Hailan replied: "Public toilet!"
Su Nuan was shocked. "Yes, there must be migrant workers in the city. We can't just pull these people in randomly!"
Hailan sighed, "Forget it, I'll go out and help you."
The next moment, the three of them left the space. Hai Lan gave orders, Ling Yun worked, and Su Nuan drank tea. After a day, the installation was completed.
During the renovation of the imperial city, Su Nuan took the time to go to the west and put down the building of the Shadow Pavilion headquarters.
The connecting road between Sifang City and the Imperial Palace was also fully open to traffic, and people in Sifang City began to move to the Imperial City.
People coming from Sifang City had to enter the city through the South Gate. Su Nuan and Ling Yun stood on the South Gate city wall and watched the approaching team.
Su Nuan asked, "Who do you think will be the first to enter the city?"
Ling Yun guessed: "It might be Lei Wuya."
Su Nuan was stunned. "Isn't Lei Wuya in his territory? Why is he coming to the city?"
"We are a rental model, and it's not cost-effective for him to rent the house like this, after all, he won't live there long-term."
Ling Yun smiled faintly, "He is willing to spend money, and we can't control it."
Su Nuan laughed. That’s right. If someone is willing to pay for renting a house, they can use Huabei.
Soon the team arrived outside the city gate.
Su Nuan looked at Ling Yun, "Rent a room on site?"
Ling Yun curled his lips into a wicked smile, "That's right, and you must pay in full, otherwise you won't be allowed in."
Su Nuan nodded and said with a smile, "That's good. Collecting one year's rent in advance will eliminate the worry of them defaulting on their payments."
The two were discussing when someone outside the city gate shouted, "Why don't you open the city gate?"
Ling Yun raised his voice and said, "Except for the Imperial Palace, all other houses and courtyards in the city are uninhabited. Do you have the money ready?"
The people outside the city had obviously received the news and knew the conditions for entering the city.
Someone shouted, "I want the biggest yard in the house."
Su Nuan looked over and saw Qianmo. He used to pretend to be Lingyun, but when the Northland was first built, he got bored and ran away.
Ling Yun said, "This kid is here, do you want to take him in?"
Su Nuan looked up at Ling Yun and said, "You decide this. I won't interfere."
Renting a house is so troublesome, let Lingyun worry about it. She just needs to be a little useless person who eats well and sleeps well.
Ling Yun looked at Qian Mo, "I refuse."
Qianmo was so anxious that he jumped up and down: "Why? On what basis? Don't think that you can be tyrannical and authoritarian just because you are the emperor."
"I want Nuannuan, Nuannuan, come out, can I buy it for you? I'm not short of money!"
Su Nuan held his forehead with his hand. This guy was too jumpy and he must not be paid any attention to.
Ling Yun took out his bow and shot an arrow. The arrow landed at the front of his feet, and the tail trembled.
Qianmo was stunned for a moment. He was not afraid. Instead, his eyes rolled around and a flattering smile appeared on his face.
"Brother, dear brother, as long as you can let me enter the city, you decide the yard."
Ling Yun said to Su Nuan, "Wait for me here. I'll go down first."
Su Nuan nodded, not knowing what Ling Yun was up to.
Ling Yun walked out of the gate, with a four-wheeled cart behind him carrying three boxes.
He smiled and said, "There are three boxes here: big, medium and small. If you want a big yard, go draw lots in the big box."
"Also, the annual rent for the large courtyard is 100,000 gold coins, the medium courtyard 80,000, and the small courtyard 60,000. Think carefully before you draw lots."
"By the way, you have to pay first and then draw lots. Don't be picky about the location of the yard."
"If you regret it, you can return 80,000 for the big courtyard, 60,000 for the medium courtyard, and 40,000 for the small courtyard!"
At this moment, Ling Yun was not an emperor at all, but a shrewd and profiteer businessman.
Su Nuan was also surprised. The rent was very high. How could the people in Sifang City have so many gold coins? It was estimated that no one could afford to rent it for a year.
She pursed her lips, but this was Ling Yun's decision, she would only support it and not refute it.
Qianmo deliberately shouted, "How much would it cost per year for you to live in the largest palace?"
Ling Yun smiled and said, "The palace is not as big as you think. One million a year is about right."
Qianmo asked again: "Have you paid the money?"
Ling Yun said confidently, "I don't have any money, I'm trying to collect some. You guys hurry up and choose. By the time you're done choosing, won't I be rich?"
Everyone was a little amused and helpless when they heard this. This emperor was a bit shameless.
Ling Yun smiled slightly, "All this money will go into the national treasury, including the rent from my palace."
Qianmo immediately seized on this and said, "You're using our money to pay for the rent of your palace. That's not fair."
Ling Yun's eyes turned cold, and his gaze swept across everyone like a knife. "Sifang Country owes Su Nuan a lot of money now. Are we all going to default on it?"
