The next morning.

When Yu Jiuchen woke up, Su Changzhao was gone.

Looking at the empty bed, she suddenly thought of what she had been thinking last night.

[I must be the first one to get up tomorrow morning, so that he can experience the feeling of being toyed with and then abandoned! ]

Thinking of this, Yu Jiuchen stood up, with the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

Su Changzhao, is this your revenge on me?

Clumsy but cute, I really like you more and more...

Just as I put on my clothes, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." He said in a deep voice.

The next second, the door was pushed open, and several servants came in carrying things.

Yu Jiuchen originally thought that they were following Su Changzhao's orders and came to bring him food.

But when he saw what was placed on the table, he realized that his guess was not accurate.

A maid stepped forward and said, "Mr. Shi, these are the supplements and classics given by the Ghost King. The King said that your performance last night was not satisfactory. You need to keep learning in order to make progress."

“……”Yu Jiuchen stared at the several books that the other party placed next to him.

"Two or Three Fun Things About Boudoir Spring", "The Emperor's Unlimited Romance", "Eighty-Eight Styles of an Old Man: Bravely Entering a Brothel"...

You can guess the content just by looking at the title.

"This is what the Ghost King personally selected for you. Please study it carefully and appreciate it with your heart."

After the maid finished speaking, she pushed a bowl of brown soup with unknown ingredients in it towards him.

"Master Ghost King specifically instructed that we must not let Master get hurt. So he ordered the servants to bring Master the best supplements in the mansion. He also said that Master should be prepared to be summoned at any time in the coming days. Master will look forward to Master's next performance."

“………………”Yu Jiuchen was speechless.

Seeing that they had finished their explanation and had no intention of leaving, he couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything else?"

It means it's okay, you can go.

"Master Ghost King has instructed us," the clever maidservant said, "We must watch you eat all the supplements, not leaving a single drop."

“……”Yu Jiuchen stared at the bowl of brown soup in front of him.

Long eyes half closed.

Su Changzhao, do you want to use this method to make me retreat?

The fingers curled up in the lap.

You underestimate me.

Under the gaze of the maids, Yu Jiuchen picked up the bowl of soup and drank it in one gulp.

Not only that, he also took other supplements.

Even though he ate voraciously, in the eyes of the maids, his eating manners were extremely beautiful.

Every gesture and movement reveals the nobility of a royal family.

Wouldn't a man like this, who is noble, handsome, and plays the piano so well, be liked by their Ghost King?

It was the first time they saw Lord Ghost King so attentive to a man.

The Ghost King's methods of seducing men also made them feel refreshing and bold.

Yu Jiuchen put down the last empty bowl and glanced sideways at the maids beside him whose faces were flushed due to their wild imagination.

Coldly: "Can you leave now? Or has Lord Ghost King told you to teach me the contents of these books step by step?"

"!!" Upon hearing this, the clever maid shook her head and waved her hands: "No, no, no," and said with a smile: "We dare not. My lord, please study and rest well. We will take our leave now."

Yu Jiuchen didn't say anything. After they left, his eyes fell on the books at hand.

“…”

·

The other end.

Su Changzhao was listening to Bai Longnu's report on the expansion of the private school in the city.

"...Conservatively speaking, if I come to the ghost market a few more times, I should be able to collect enough money..."

Bai Longnu was halfway through her words when she realized that Su Changzhao was absent-minded.

Little did he know that Su Changzhao was very happy at this moment.

The Dog Emperor should be awake now, right?

I wonder if my arrangements have angered him?

I'm sure his reaction at that time must have been amazing.

What a pity, I can’t enjoy it live.

I wonder how long you can endure this. There will be many more such things in the future.

If you refuse to leave, I will give you one by one. If I can't kill you, it will be gratifying at least. Hahahahahahaha...

"… City Lord?"

"Ghost King?"

"grown ups!!"

Bai Longnu shouted loudly.

Su Changzhao was startled and immediately glared at him.

"!!" Bai Longnv trembled with fear, and quickly asked with a smile: "What are you thinking about?"

"I think the method you mentioned is too slow. If we wait for a few more ghost markets, we will have to wait until the second half of the year, right? By then, when the weather gets colder, we can start construction again, and the construction period will be extended again."

"Then apart from the Ghost Market, we can only wait for the harvest of the Dark Lantern Fruit, but the Dark Lantern Fruit will take half a year. Otherwise... take on a few more orders for weapons?"

Bai Longnu was talking about several major businesses in the ghost town, which are considered the main source of income for the city.

The ghost market is different from the other two. Although it occurs on the fourth day of every month, the amount of money that can be earned is limited.

Although the income cannot be compared with the other two, it is stable.

Bai Longnu's original plan was to keep the monthly profits from the ghost market and use the rest of the proceeds for other purposes.

But she really couldn't think of anywhere else to raise money.

Su Changzhao picked up the account book at hand and hit her on the head: "Are you stupid? We built this city. Isn't it easy to make money?"

Bai Longnu stood up in shock: "Su Changzhao, you must not increase taxes!"

Su Changzhao was speechless: "Who said that taxes will be increased?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Longnu immediately sat back down and said, "If you don't raise taxes, how are you going to make money?"

"Let me ask you," Su Changzhao hooked his finger, and Bai Longnu had to move closer: "Is the private school for children to study?"

"yes."

"Where did that child come from?"

"Of course it was born by my parents."

"That's it. How many children are there in the city now?"

"many."

"A lot?" Su Changzhao shook his head: "Less than a hundred, is that a lot?"

"..." Bai Longnv suddenly realized that if she calculated the ratio based on the population of tens of thousands in the city, a few dozen children were indeed too few. "What do you mean, sir? I'm not very smart, so don't keep me in suspense."

Su Changzhao smiled and said, "You built a private school probably because you think there will be more and more children in the city in the future. It's a good thing to attach importance to education, but first you have to understand the market situation. Although there are matchmaking places in the city now, as far as I know, there is no large-scale system of its own. There are still many single men and women of marriageable age in the city.

Due to the special nature of the ghost town, many people come here to escape from the world or their enemies. They have no parental permission and no matchmaker, and their ideas are conservative, so the probability of them getting married is not high.

This wastes the best time for marriage and reduces people's sense of belonging.

Even if you build a private school, because of the age difference, the children will not enter the school in batches. There may be a large age difference in a class. The learning abilities of older and younger children are different, and the teachers in the school will be very tired to teach. "

"!!"

Noticing that Bai Longnv was looking at him with admiration, Su Changzhao cleared his throat and said, "So, helping the single men and women of the city who are of the right age to find their partners is our top priority right now."

Bai Longnv scratched her head and said, "I don't understand this. What does this have to do with making money?"

"Of course it is related." A person suddenly walked in from outside the door. It was Jiang Bo.

"The long move means that she is going to hold a large-scale singles gathering."

"You're back?" Su Changzhao smiled at the gentleman who was walking towards him.

Jiang Bo also looked at her and smiled: "Well, I received your letter a few days ago, and I rushed back."

Bai Longnv said angrily: "You came back after just one letter from you, sir. I wrote so many letters to you, but you ignored them!!"

Jiang Bo rolled his eyes at her and said, "Chang Zhao asked me to come back to earn money, but you? All day long you either drag me to drink or listen to your complaints. When you get drunk, I still have to take care of you."

"You..." Bai Longnu was so angry.

Jiang Bo ignored her and turned to Su Changzhao with a smile: "I think this singles party is really profitable. Each person only needs to pay 20 cents, and if the blind date is not successful, half of it will be refunded. Changzhao, you are really smart. If I had met you earlier, with our abilities, we would have achieved brilliant success."

When Bai Longnu saw Jiang Bo talking, she was about to get close to Su Changzhao.

She hurriedly stopped him: "Achievements? Your current achievements are already quite high, and your future will be even better. Who wants to be with someone like you who is full of money!"

"I stink of money?"

"Yeah, I'm talking about you."

Jiang Bo nodded angrily: "Okay, give me back the black gold blood amber that I spent a fortune to buy for you last time."

"I..." Bai Longnv felt guilty for a moment, and then as if she remembered something, she immediately became confident and said, "How can you be so stingy that you actually settle a small score with me? If you jump into the ice hole again, I will not save you."

"Let's put things in perspective. I've already repaid you for saving my life. How can you bring it up again?"

"You're the one who wants to settle with me!"

"You... are totally unreasonable!" Jiang Bo immediately looked behind her and found that Su Changzhao, who was originally sitting there, had disappeared...
