Chapter 8: What a Big Pit!

Chen Lingxiao walked out of the meeting hall, it was already an hour later, and his face was rarely covered with seriousness.

The main sources of economic income of the Earl Court of Jiannan are as follows.

First, selling salt, there is a salt mine in the fief that can produce rock salt, which used to bring nearly 30,000 gold coins to the Earl's Court every year, but recently the price of salt has dropped sharply, and the income has dropped by half.

Second, the tax revenue collected from Sannong can have nearly 7,000 gold coins.

Third, Jiannan Restaurant can generate 6,000 gold coins for Earl's Court every year, but now the restaurant is in danger of going bankrupt.

Fourth, the lumber yard can generate 5,000 gold coins per year.

Fifth, the rouge gouache workshop can create an annual income of 3,000 gold coins.

Under normal circumstances, the Earl's Court can have an income of about 51,000 gold coins a year, which is a huge amount of money, but the expenses of the Earl's Court are also very huge.

These gold coin incomes could barely support the normal operation of the entire Earl's Court in his later years.

There were 2,000 private soldiers in the Earl's Palace, and the annual expenditure was 14,000 gold coins, and the food and clothing in the Earl's Court cost 2,000 gold coins, and 34,000 gold coins of interest had to be repaid.

In this way, the normal Earl's Court only has a balance of 1,000 gold coins a year at most.

This year, not only has the Earl's Court had its revenue plummeted, and it needed to borrow foreign debts to plug the financial holes, otherwise it would not be able to maintain normal operations, but also had 500,000 gold coins in arrears to be repaid by the deadline.

What's even more fatal is that because the Jin State implemented new policies and continued to cut down the feudal domain, those big business alliances were unwilling to lend money to the old nobles.

In this way, once the creditor comes to the door to ask for the debt and cannot pay the money, I am afraid that the entire Earl's Court will be gone.

Chen Lingxiao now understands why he is dressed so plainly, and he doesn't even have a ring or pendant.

"Hey, I'm really tired, I didn't expect this Jiannan Earl's Mansion to be a bottomless pit, no, it's a shocking pit, I also jumped in, if it's not good, I'm going to be buried in this big pit!"

Chen Lingxiao was full of slander.

However, in the end, Chen Lingxiao still had to find a way to fill in this big hole, who called himself the prince of the Earl of Jiannan's mansion!

Go back to your room.

Chen Lingxiao took out a small notebook and a ballpoint pen, "Boom", and wrote three big characters on the cover - Enemy Record!

Don't ask where the notebooks and ballpoint pens come from, they are sold in the science museum, as long as you have system coins.

Then he opened the cover and wrote a list of names on the first page.

Jiannan City Lord's Mansion, City Lord Zhou Feng;

Lingnan County Shoufu, County Shoulin Tao;

Lingnan County Shoufu, sentenced Lin Guang;

Jiannancheng Casino, owner Hu Sandao;

Pig friends and dog friends, Luo Chunshan;

Piaoxiang Restaurant, the owner......

For the time being, Chen Lingxiao wrote six names, but he believed that there would be more and more names in the future, so it was necessary to make a small notebook to write it down, and save it from forgetting.

Chen Lingxiao is the one who wants to rebel against the emperor, but there is only one dragon chair, and there are so many ass in the whole world who want to sit on this chair, of course he wants to overturn the owners of these ass and dog legs.

In short, those who oppose the Earl's Mansion of Jiannan, want to kill him, and want to grab the dragon chair with him are all enemies.

To treat the enemy, Chen Lingxiao has the means, whoever wants him to die, he will kill whoever he wants first.

He spun his pen and his mind raced.

Soon, Chen Lingxiao crossed out Luo Chunshan's name again.

"This idiot Luo Chunshan, I shouldn't be able to see the sun tomorrow!" he muttered to himself.

Chen Lingxiao decided that the city lord and Lin Tong would definitely kill the traitor "Luo Chunshan".

Of course, the truth is exactly what he thinks.

Next, Chen Lingxiao will punish the guys on the "Enemy Record" one by one, and some will be killed.

He looked at the sky, and although the night was already dark, it was not late.

Chen Lingxiao couldn't sleep, and he was still in good spirits!

What should I do if I can't sleep?

Then find something to do!

If it's in Blue Star, you can also surf the Internet, play games, watch movies or something, but in the original other world, don't even think about it.

Besides, Chen Lingxiao doesn't have a female ticket, otherwise, you can look at the moon together and talk about your life ideals.

Chen Lingxiao thought about it, stood up, blew out the candle, walked out of the room, and walked towards the door of the Earl's Castle, he was going to Jiannan City.

To illustrate, the castle of the Earl of Jiannan is located on the outskirts of Jiannan City.

Chen Lingxiao is going to go to the city to have some fun and add to the enemy's troubles.

It is also a very happy thing to make the enemy uncomfortable.

Although, tomorrow Chen Lingxiao will represent Jiannan Restaurant to participate in the chef competition, but he doesn't take this matter to heart, no, he doesn't take those competitors to heart.

Those rookies are just foils for him.

As soon as Chen Lingxiao walked to the gate of the castle, he heard a cold and gentle voice.

"Ling Xiao, it's getting dark, you don't have a good rest in the room, where are you going?"

Following the sound, I saw a beautiful female general who was as cold as ice, riding a big white horse and walking over with a team of cavalry.

This heroic and cold beauty general is none other than Chen Ruoxi.

Her appearance seems to make the night brighter, but it's just a little too cold!

For some reason, at this moment, Chen Lingxiao looked at the big white horse full of spirit under Chen Ruoxi, and was a little envious!

Maybe it was a sense, the big white horse actually raised its head and cast a disdainful look at Chen Lingxiao.

"I'll ask you!" Chen Ruoxi saw that the other party was stunned, so he said coldly.

Chen Lingxiao withdrew his eyes from the white horse, compared to a beast, and instead stared at Chen Ruoxi's beautiful cold face, and said, "I can't sleep, go to the city for a walk!"

According to memory, Chen Ruoxi should have reprimanded him harshly at this moment and stopped him domineeringly.

Of course, if the other party really does this, Chen Lingxiao will not listen to the other party, he is no longer the waste son of the previous world.

"I patrol the fiefdom to prevent the invasion of bandits!"

Unexpectedly, Chen Ruoxi said to the two female guards behind him: "You protect the prince from entering the city, you can't let the thieves hurt him, go early and return early!"

After speaking, Chen Ruoxi's slender and round legs, a clamp on the horse's belly, and a shake of the reins, the big white horse under him shouted like "Xi repeatedly", flicking the horse's tail and running forward.

Chen Lingxiao is protected by the fierce general Dian Wei, and he doesn't need other people to escort him at all, but this is what Chen Ruoxi meant, and she also cares about her safety, so Chen Lingxiao did not refuse.

After seeing Chen Ruoxi ride away, Chen Lingxiao looked at the two female guards, and he suddenly found that these two female guards were not bad-looking, but they were too strong.

He looked at the two girls, grinned and showed a row of white and neat teeth, and smiled: "Two young ladies, I can't ride a horse, which of you will carry me?"

The two female guards, you look at me and I look at you, did not speak.

"Do you want this son to take bus No. 11 to the city while you ride a horse?" Chen Lingxiao said.

"Bus No. 11, what is this?" the female guard looked puzzled.

Chen Lingxiao said: "It's the meaning of legs!"

......

Jiannan City, the lights are bright, now it is the peak period of dining, a century-old brand, once the first restaurant, Jiannan Restaurant, but it is deserted, there are more people than diners, and there are many birds at the door.

This is in stark contrast to the past when the seats were full, noisy, and hard to find.

Zhang Wannian, the shopkeeper in charge of the restaurant's business, stood at the door with a worried face, looking across the street, where there was also a restaurant, and the huge signboard had a book of dragons flying and phoenixes dancing - "Piaoxiang Restaurant".

On the other hand, Piaoxiang Restaurant is full of diners, and there is a noisy sound from the restaurant.

The shopkeeper of Piaoxiang Restaurant was a big fat man, and he also stood at the door, looked at the shopkeeper of Jiannan Restaurant opposite, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang Wannian, Jiannan Restaurant should close early, don't be dying, otherwise you won't even have underwear!"

Zhang Wannian's face was pale, and he was speechless, the reason why Jiannan Restaurant fell to this step today is due to Piaoxiang Restaurant.

"Big fat intestine, don't be arrogant, it won't be long before your Piaoxiang Restaurant will close its doors!"

At this moment, a somewhat yin and yang strange teasing voice sounded.

Following the sound, I saw two big horses walking towards here with leisurely steps, and the horses' hooves knocked on the ground, making a "click" sound. On one horse rode a female guard, and on the other rode two people, a female guard, and a oily-haired and powdery boy.

This boy is Chen Lingxiao.
