Chapter 27 Snowy Night: Mine, all mine!
In the backyard, Emperor Xue Ye did not leave after lunch. He originally planned to have a heart-to-heart talk with Su Xian.
Puff! !
"What! You need 10 million gold coins?!"
However, when he heard Su Xian's idea for the entertainment city, his face suddenly changed, and he spat out a mouthful of tea, with a look of extreme pain written all over his face.
That's 10 million gold coins!!
Even though the empire is rich and has a lot of tax revenue, the total treasury reserves are only 300 million, including daily military consumption and monthly payments for soul masters, etc.
It would be fine if no natural or man-made disasters occurred, but if there was a sudden accident, the empire's finances would immediately fall into a tense state.
Three hundred million is a figure that is balanced between income and expenditure. It would be difficult to increase it, and it would also be difficult not to decrease it.
It can be said that these 300 million gold coins are the empire's annual treasury reserves.
Getting 10 million at once, even though it seems to be only one thirtieth, it is still a huge fortune!
Moreover, the purpose is just to build a high-rise building. It's a loss just thinking about it!
I thought that if Su Xian wanted to build an entertainment city, he would only need a few hundred thousand gold coins. Now...
Fuck you!
I just got 50 million gold coins from you for a soul guide, and now you're suddenly asking me to take back 10 million?!
No!
Not even if you kill me!
I have never agreed to any conditions!
Anyway, it was just a verbal statement at the time. If I deny it, I can save 10 million gold coins. Why not do it? !
"Father, are you planning to act rogue?"
Noticing the change in Emperor Xue Ye's expression, Su Xian was not angry at all. Which emperor is not shameless? It's just that no one dared to say it.
"Ahem... You also know that the national treasury is not abundant. Ten million is really too much." Emperor Xue Ye touched his nose awkwardly.
The current situation on the mainland is not optimistic, especially with the threat from the Spirit Hall. A war will happen sooner or later, and this money is mostly for armament storage.
"Then how much do you think you can take out?" Su Xian asked coldly with his eyes slightly narrowed.
"Five hundred thousand, what do you think?" Emperor Xue Ye pondered for a moment, then spoke somewhat embarrassedly.
Su Xian:...
Doesn't your old heart hurt?!
Bargaining... you can bargain like this, just one twentieth of the price!!
Pick!
It's so fucking stingy!
"Father, if you don't have money, I will go talk to the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect. They should be very active in buying soul guides."
Looking at Emperor Xue Ye with cold contempt, Su Xian leisurely reminded him.
"no!"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Xue Ye slammed the table and stood up, his expression extremely angry, his eyes turning bloodshot.
He has thoroughly understood the power of the soul guide, which is definitely a powerful weapon!
An ordinary Soul King possesses a level 5 soul guide cannon, which is powerful enough to threaten a Soul Emperor. This is definitely a strategic weapon.
He definitely doesn't…
"wrong!"
As if realizing something, Emperor Xue Ye turned his head to look at Su Xian and asked in an ambiguous tone:
"Huang'er, do you still have soul guide cannons?!"
"There are probably about a dozen pieces left." Su Xian replied casually.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Xue Ye could no longer sit still. He stared at Su Xian with passion, laughing, and his face looked a little lewd.
He is coming, he is coming, and he is coming with the soul guide again!
In the blink of an eye, the empire will have more than a dozen Soul Emperor-level masters, wow! !
He said: All the soul guide cannons are his, no one can snatch them from him!
"Ahem…"
Just when Emperor Xue Ye was about to compromise and ask Su Xian to hand over the soul guide cannon, he saw Su Xian had already started writing, muttering to himself, and making convincing arguments.
"A level 5 soul guide cannon would cost at least two to three million gold coins, otherwise it would seem like a loss."
"For a level 6 soul guide cannon, it should be no problem to collect five million gold coins."
"Well, then we should sell them two level six soul guide cannons. The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is most in need of self-defense capabilities, so we are not afraid that they will not buy them."
"Alas, running a small business requires careful budgeting. It's really hard for me."
"…"
Emperor Xue Ye:...
I have something to say, damn it, but I don't know whether I should say it or not!
Is this considered a small business?! Did you learn your cultural subjects from an art teacher?
As a prince, you actually wanted to sell the things to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect instead of giving them to me? !
You are not a son of man, you are not a son of man!
Emperor Xue Ye was extremely angry. He really wanted to chop Su Xian in half with a knife to see whether his heart was really red or not.
It's so heartless, cold-blooded and unreasonable!
Although the Tiandou Empire and the Qibao Liuli Sect are partners, and they are also related, but public is public and private is private, how can they be mixed up? !
"Huang'er, did you just mention the sixth-level soul guide cannon? Do you still have a sixth-level soul guide cannon?!"
Suddenly, Emperor Xue Ye seemed to realize something and rushed over immediately, his eyes red and extremely excited.
The sixth-level soul guide cannon, one punch kills one Yingying... cough cough, one cannon kills one little soul emperor!
Woo woo woo~ The fifth-level soul guide in my hand suddenly doesn't feel as good anymore!
"What sixth-level soul guide cannon? When did I ever mention a sixth-level soul guide cannon? Father, don't think too much about it." Su Xian immediately shook his head, his eyes full of sincerity.
What bicycle, what level six soul guide cannon? He doesn't even know what these things are!
Looking at Su Xian's poor acting skills, Emperor Xue Ye clenched his fists tightly and felt a tightness in his chest.
"As long as you take out five level six soul guide cannons, I will give you 10 million gold coins. What do you think?!" Emperor Xue Ye gritted his teeth.
Five?
What the hell do you want?
So my level 5 soul guide cannon was given away for free? !
"If we go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect, two level 6... level 5 soul guide cannons should be enough for 10 million gold coins."
As if Emperor Xue Ye did not exist, Su Xian stroked his chin and muttered to himself.
Emperor Xue Ye:!!!
Wow!
I have a forty-meter-long sword. I want to chop this guy to death!
"Give it to me, I'll give you 10 million gold coins!"
Emperor Xue Ye spoke each word clearly, almost squeezing out these words from between his teeth, with veins throbbing on his forehead.
"Alas~ I haven't paid for the previous level 5 soul guide cannon. What's wrong with people nowadays? Can't people have more trust in each other?!" Su Xian couldn't help but shook his head, feeling very hurt inside.
Emperor Xue Ye:!!!
Climb up the pole, right? Here comes my sword!
"Don't go too far, I am your father!" Emperor Xue Ye roared.
"Father, I'm going to Qibao Liuli to discuss a big deal later, and I'll give you... two million when I come back!!"
Su Xian blinked his big eyes, and emphasized the last three words, and was about to leave, which made Emperor Xue Ye want to kill him.
"Twelve million, okay!" Emperor Xue Ye took a deep breath, his eyes cold enough to make him want to kill someone.
He is the Great Emperor Xue Ye. If anyone else dared to threaten him like this, he would have died eight hundred times already.
"Hahaha... I knew that my father has always been a man of integrity. Come, let's sign, seal and stamp first!" Su Xian took out the cloth, laughed and raised his eyebrows at Emperor Xue Ye.
Emperor Xue Ye:...
Damn it! You just don't trust me?!
[Explain the finances of the Tiandou Empire:
One gold coin is roughly equivalent to a family's living expenses for one year.
If it were in ancient China, it would be basically the same as one or two taels of silver in the Song Dynasty.
The annual treasury income of the Song Dynasty was about four to five million taels, and this was just the money collected.
And how high is the price of 10 million gold coins? Considering that Tang San and his team won the championship, the gold coins were only in the tens of thousands... I don't mean to argue, I'm just explaining it.
