Chapter 346: Ministry of Revenue Robbery
Baidi City, Ministry of Revenue.
Minister of Revenue Ye Shen and a group of tax officials stared at the small storage bag on the table.
After a moment, Ye Shen let out a long breath and looked at Mo Changzai with a smile, "Master Mo, you said there are 900 billion top-grade spirit stones in here?"
The tax officials around swallowed hard, like family members waiting for the attending doctor's [sentence] outside the emergency room.
"There are more than 900 billion pieces of top-grade spirit stones in here."
Mo Changzai knew what Ye Shen was asking. He took a deep breath and gave Ye Shen an answer with a heavy heart.
"I see, uh—"
Ye Shen, a powerful warrior in the fifteenth level of the Tribulation Period, suffered a sudden cardiac arrest. The tax officials with weaker cultivation levels fell one after another like dominoes.
As the Ministry of Revenue of the Dayu Dynasty, the number of spiritual stones it handled over the past hundreds of thousands of years far exceeded 900 billion top-grade spiritual stones. But the problem is that 900 billion top-grade spirit stones and 900 billion pieces of top-grade spirit stones are two completely different concepts.
After all, Ye Shen is a strong man who can withstand even the heavenly tribulation. He can still survive even if his heart stops.
Ye Shen knocked on his chest to revive his heart, and asked with difficulty, "Mr. Li, that's not right - what is Lord Li going to do? Is he going to buy the Ministry of Revenue? Master Mo, please tell Lord Li that this... is too much!"
Tianxu Tower does owe Dayu more than 2 trillion top-grade spirit stones now, but in terms of numbers, these 900 billion top-grade spirit stones are only enough to pay off half of the debt.
But the problem is that this is not a spirit stone worth 900 billion top-grade spirit stones, but a genuine 900 billion pieces of top-grade spirit stones!
The more top-grade spirit stones there are, the higher their value will be.
The previous increase of 5 billion top-grade spirit stones by a hundred times was not just a casual boast on their part, but the result of serious calculations based on the reasonable price obtained from the market. One should know that 100 million spirit stones can be used to synthesize a spirit mine in a small state, and in a large state it will only become 1 billion spirit stones.
These 5 billion top-grade spirit stones are equivalent to five top-grade spirit mines in Dazhou.
And now it is 900 billion top-grade spirit stones.
Nine hundred top-grade spiritual ores! ?
Ye Shen's hands were shaking and he didn't dare to think about the future.
At this time Leng Shanhe also ran over in a hurry. Seeing a group of tax officials lying on the ground, Leng Shanhe's heart sank to the bottom.
"Did Master Li really send 900 billion top-grade spirit stones?"
Just as Mo Chang was about to nod, Ye Shen suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs, "How dare you! Leng Shanhe, do you think you can call me Young Master? Call me Lord Li!"
Leng Shanhe twitched his lips and emphasized, "Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, I am the current prime minister, second only to the Prime Minister, ten thousand people..."
"Lord Li sent 900 billion top-grade spirit stones over here," Mo Chang reminded in a low voice.
"I feel like I was being a little rude just now."
Leng Shanhe rubbed his face vigorously, and walked carefully to the storage bag. He reached out several times but gave up halfway. Finally, he turned his head to confirm with Ye Shen, "Have you seen it?"
"I don't dare."
They are all old monsters who have overcome tribulation. For them, it is not difficult to detect what is placed inside the storage bag through the storage bag. Moreover, this storage bag is just an ordinary storage bag and does not have any restrictions.
With just a thought, they can confirm whether there are really 900 billion high-quality spirit stones in it.
But this takes courage.
"Together?"
"Together!"
Ye Shen and Leng Shanhe reached an agreement, opened the storage bag together, and peeked inside.
"Well--"
Ye Shen groaned and fell straight down on the spot.
The pillar of the Ministry of Revenue fell, and Leng Shanhe rushed out of the Ministry with a strange cry and kicked open the door of the Golden Palace.
Inside the Golden Palace, purple air was swirling around the dragon throne, and a man was sitting on it like a god.
"What is it?"
A cold and stern voice came from the purple air.
"I will punish you again later..."
"Pretend to be evil! Wait until we're done talking about this before you turn evil!"
“…”
"Tianxu Tower is making moves again!"
Emperor Yu snorted coldly and said proudly, "I don't have many daughters, but they are enough."
"That's not right, Mr. Li—Mr. Li sent 900 billion top-grade spirit stones over here!"
"No hurry, I still have sisters, I'll go and tie them up right away."
"That's more than 900 billion pieces of top-grade spiritual stones! That's right! The Imperial State can have more than 900 top-grade spiritual mines!"
"Quick! Come with me and dig out all the aunts!"
Ministry of Revenue.
Ji Ling'er and Ji Lin rushed over and saw that only Mo Chang was the only survivor in the Ministry of Revenue. The two women immediately gasped, "Master Mo, what happened!?"
"It's not a big deal. Lord Li sent 900 billion pieces of top-grade spirit stones."
The two women were silent for a while, then raised their hands and cheered.
The reason is simple: what these 900 billion pieces of top-grade spirit stones represent is too huge!
Li Yanmo could actually take out 900 billion top-grade spirit stones, which shows that Li Yanmo is not short of resources at all, and no matter how many resources Dayu gives him, it seems stingy. After going around in circles, Dayu could only express his gratitude and sincerity in the most simple and unpretentious way, which was to give gifts.
Ji Ling'er's eyes were determined, but the corners of her mouth kept trembling. "Master Mo, don't worry. Since we were born in an imperial family, we should naturally shoulder the corresponding responsibilities. We have already made preparations!"
"Ah... well, if the two princesses are unwilling, I can go and talk to Lord Li. I don't think Lord Li will force us to do anything."
"Unwilling! How could we be unwilling? Master Mo, please don't do it!" Ji Ling'er clasped her hands together and begged bitterly.
Ji Lin's eyes flashed with coldness, "Master Mo, I know you are a member of the eldest prince's party, and you can't bear to see us princesses run away, but this matter concerns Dayu's face! Could it be that you are giving a man to Master Li?!"
Mo Changzai grumbled unwillingly, "The princess is right."
Ji Ling'er and Ji Lin high-fived in tacit understanding.
At this time, Ye Shen also slowed down. "No merit, no reward. Lord Li actually sent 900 billion pieces of top-grade spirit stones. There must be a corresponding reason. Master Mo, what does Master Li want?"
Mo Changzai patted his head and said, "Mr. Li wants us to urgently add new ancient caves to all small states, and quickly! It would be best if we can complete it within one day."
If it were in the past, Ye Shen would just feel that it was meaningless.
The purpose of building caves is to increase the cost of the sect's affairs. It is enough to build them in the corresponding small states. Building ancient caves in all small states is putting the cart before the horse. Now we have to add new ancient caves at an urgent distance of 800 miles?
What is going on?
Being in debt is one thing, but it was still Dayu who paid the money and worked hard.
But now, looking at the storage bag on the table filled with more than 900 billion top-grade spirit stones, Ye Shen felt extremely proud.
"Get moving! Get moving! Everyone, get moving! Tie Qian! Go notify the Ministry of Construction! Anyone who can still breathe, get to work! I want to see the completed bill within one day!"
