Chapter 236 Don’t you want some benefits?
Leng Shanhe was not surprised by Li Yanmo's proposal.
"It's feasible, Brother Li, just tell me what resources you need and how many people you need."
Leng Shanhe picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and glanced at Li Yanmo out of the corner of his eye.
As the prime minister second only to the emperor in the Dayu Dynasty, he can mobilize the entire Dayu Dynasty! No matter what Li Yamo asked for, he could get it.
What Leng Shanhe really cares about is Li Yanmo's purpose.
Even saints have their own selfish desires, so Li Yanmo must have his own purpose.
Li Yanmo is a smart and shrewd man, otherwise it would be impossible for him to build two Tianxu towers in just a few years and operate them successfully.
The mine is undoubtedly a huge loss, but no one in their right mind would do that.
Not only did Li Yanmo do it, he also refused to let the Dayu Dynasty reimburse all the expenses for building the cave. He even turned around and asked Dayu for a long-term lease contract for a part of the mine space on the grounds that Tianxu Tower could not occupy public resources for no reason.
Li Yanmo's operations left the person in charge of the handover speechless.
But Leng Shanhe knew why Li Yanmo did that. What Li Yanmo wanted was definitely not the small profits brought by a mining cave.
This mining cave is a stepping stone. What Li Yanmo wants are all the subsequent projects that will be used to compete with the Taoist sects for resources!
How much profit can be made from this?
There were so many that even the Prime Minister Leng Shanhe was moved.
The Dayu Dynasty was very open-minded and did not dislike such cleverness, so Li Yanmo was able to sit here and face him as the prime minister.
The rest depends on how much Li Yanmo wants.
Depending on the ambition shown by Li Yanmo, Dayu's trust in the existence of Tianxu Tower will also change to varying degrees.
"Brother Leng, you know that my Tianxu Tower is not worthy of its name, and it is impossible to build so many caves. I will definitely need some funding from Dayu." Li Yanmo picked up the teapot and poured himself a full cup of tea. "Then I will trouble Brother Leng to prepare an account book. I will not let Dayu spend so much materials in vain, and I will definitely repay you later."
Li Yanmo was not so naive as to think that he would lose all his money as long as he built the cave. The overflow of prestige and experience was a problem.
There was an overflow of prestige experience when they were in the mine cave, but because those people were all commoner marquis' sons, they had low strength and influence, so the overflow was not much. But the cave will be built not only for the prince, but also for the monks from the sects, which will inevitably lead to an increase in prestige and experience.
The more caves they build and the more luxurious they are, the more prestige experience they will induced. If a cultivator from a sect accidentally finds out that those caves were built by Tianxu Tower, it may cause a huge experience overflow.
Therefore, Li Yanmo felt it was very necessary to prepare for a rainy day and pay off the debt first.
Leng Shanhe remained in the tea-drinking position and stopped, the tea flowing down, his pupils shaking wildly.
Could it be that this project is also a stepping stone? !
So what does Li Yanmo want to knock?
Emperor Yu’s forehead?
"You, are you serious? This, this is not a small amount of money."
"Really? Oh, by the way, have you calculated the cost of the Emperor Lie's Tomb?"
"Well, forget about that. Oh, by the way, I have something else to do, about the expedition... I'll give you the detailed file later."
Leng Shanhe fled in a panic.
In the evening, Condensation Frost brought files about the expedition.
Although Dayu turned a blind eye to the evil sect, it did not mean that he ignored what the evil sect did.
The monks of the righteous sects are also children of Dayu. Although they have different philosophies, Dayu does not intend to ignore their lives and deaths.
This expedition to eliminate demons is aimed at clearing up the evil.
First it was the small states, then the medium states, and this time even the large states became the targets of Dayu's reckoning.
You must know that the sect entrenched in the big state is a super sect, and the previous expeditions to eliminate demons also reached Zhongzhou.
"It seems that this expedition will last for several years, or even more than ten years," Leng Ningshuang, although she has never experienced an expedition to eliminate demons, has read many files.
An expedition to eliminate demons is just an expedition, not the annihilation of all sects in a state. The Taoist sect does not want to offend Dayu, nor does it want Dayu to demonstrate national strength, and does not want Dayu's expeditionary force to get lost, so some sects will even take the initiative to help Dayu eliminate demons.
The longest expedition in the past lasted only about five years.
But this time, there are seven small states, four medium states, and one large state that need to be expeditioned.
The small states are Li, Kun, Xia, Jin, Mei, Ze and Wen; the central states are Yan, Han, Sha and Zhuo. As for which large state to be liquidated, it is not mentioned in the files.
Since they have to travel a long way to confront a super sect, it will most likely be Emperor Yu himself who will take action.
And that was the end of the expedition.
However, Li Yanmo did not consider building a cave in Dazhou.
Although the state is huge, the super sects entrenched in it have all the means to reach the top. The birth of ancient heritage or the emergence of rare treasures under their noses is like showing off one's skills in front of an expert.
"For seven states, at least twenty-one caves must be prepared... If we want to set up a layout, we must also subdue the local gangs. Oh - this is not a difficult task. The rest is inheritance and rare treasures. They cannot be worse than those prepared by the sect monks, but they cannot exceed the capabilities of those princes. Just prepare some mansions of Yuanying masters."
"I suggest raising the specification to the peak of the Spiritualization Stage. The main purpose of this project is to disrupt them. If the princes are allowed to finish their meals just as they are eating, it will arouse suspicion. If it causes the monks from the sects to retain their true colors and scramble for food, the princes will definitely feel resentful towards those monks from the sects. After seeing the true colors of those monks from the sects more often, they will be wary."
Li Yanmo discussed with Leng Ningshuang for a whole night and soon came up with a vague plan.
Of course, preparing at least twenty-one cave dwellings in seven states at once is no small task.
Therefore, Li Yanmo decided to go back to Ganzhou first to discuss the specific details with Shen Ziqing. As the daughter of the prime minister, Leng Ningshuang also needed to attend various festivals held in Baidi City in the future, so she had no way to leave.
Without Leng Ningshuang, Li Yanmo would definitely not be able to drive out the magic carriage that symbolizes the Leng family.
But coincidentally, Yao Mengyi had already finished her role, and was stripped of her title of princess by an imperial decree from Emperor Yu, forbidding her to set foot in Baidi City within thirty years.
The noble princes were all excited and hated why they were not the ones to be expelled from Baidi City, while Yao Mengyi was smiling so much that the corners of her mouth reached her ears.
But the play had to be performed. Yao Mengyi forced herself to look pale and was helped out of the palace in public. Then she packed her luggage and prepared to run away at a brisk pace, as if she was afraid of being caught. Li Yanmo had invited Yao Mengyi before, so Yao Mengyi decided to run away to Ganzhou.
Li Yanmo decided to take this ride.
As soon as the sun rose, Li Yanmo went to the Yao family.
According to Yao Mengyi's plot setting, Yao Mengyi will have to cry this morning and finally be slapped in the face by Yao's father.
But what Li Yanmo didn't expect was that a young man had already arrived near the Yao family in advance.
When he saw Li Yanmo appear, a gleam of excitement appeared in the boy's eyes, and he immediately bowed respectfully with his fists clasped.
"Mr. Li——"
