Chapter 108: On the eve of the beginning of the plot
Because Rollin did a good job of secrecy, no one except those present at the time knew what Rollin had discussed with those merchants. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Just three days later, a store called Huaxia Department Store suddenly opened in the most prosperous area of the imperial capital, which was a super-large shop of thousands of square meters and four floors. Originally, this was the property of a wealthy businessman who was not benevolent, but I don't know who the rich businessman offended, and he was killed in his home in the middle of the night, and left a note, saying that he didn't want to see his family again. In order to survive, their family had to start selling their property and planning to withdraw from the imperial capital.
At this time, more than 20 small and medium-sized chambers of commerce jointly established the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce, bought this valuable real estate in one fell swoop, and opened this Huaxia department store. As small as toothpicks, toothbrushes, and customized carriages, you can buy them in this Huaxia department store, covering almost all aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation, as long as you enter the department store, you can find the goods you want.
Moreover, the goods in the department store are fair in price and excellent in quality, and they monopolized the civilian market in the imperial capital within a few days of opening, and even some aristocratic and wealthy merchants often sent people to rush over to buy some high-end goods. Since its opening, it has really been a daily profit.
Such a huge piece of fat naturally arouses the concern of some people. However, they can only think about it, but anyone who dares to make a move will be warned at the least, and at worst they will go directly to accompany the rich businessman who is not benevolent.
Later, after the investigation of some well-intentioned people, it turned out that the behind-the-scenes boss of the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce, but the emperor, dared to fight the idea of the chamber of commerce covered by the emperor, did he think that he had lived too long. If the emperor is still the same emperor as before, it is naturally easy to deal with, as long as there is some blood and supply to Earnest, no matter what trouble can be settled. But now, the emperor didn't know what medicine he had taken wrong, and he was on a par with Ornest, and at such a time, if he hit the emperor's muzzle, he could only ask for more blessings.
After a while, Rollin began to hibernate, and the first two steps of the plan had already begun to work, but the time was still short, and there was no significant effect in sight, so Rollin needed to buy as much time as possible.
Above the court, Rollin was no longer as aggressive as before, but did not say a word and allowed Earnest and his family to argue with the officials of the conscience faction, until the two sides made too much trouble, Rollin stood up to stop it, and then each beat fifty boards as punishment.
Rollin did this, which effectively lowered Earnest's vigilance, and in his opinion, Rollin was still afraid of his power and did not dare to act rashly. Therefore, even if Rollin broke free from his palm, he would not be able to escape the cage he had built, and everything was still under his control.
The only thing that makes Earnest jealous now is General Bude, as the only general in the empire, his strength should not be underestimated, and the most troublesome thing for him is that General Bud is a diehard loyalist of the emperor, and he can't win it over no matter what. But fortunately, he is not without a way to fight, as long as Estes can return victoriously, he will have a strong counterweight to Bude, and the little emperor will not be able to make any waves when the time comes.
"Hmph, let's make you proud for a while, and I will have a chance to regain power in the future."
Onest, who was ousted from the throne by Rollin and regained his position at the head of the civil office, glanced at Rollin coldly. This time it was just his carelessness, so he gave Rollin a chance to turn over, but next time it will not be so easy.
"Dead fatty, you don't have that chance anymore."
Rollin smiled disdainfully, Earnest's mental activities could not escape his [telepathy] at all, and then he had to cut off Earnest's feathers step by step, and see how he flew after he lost all his hair.
During this time, Rollin seemed to be at ease, but in fact, every night Rollin would leave fantasies in the dormitory, and then teleport out of the palace by himself to find trouble with the officials of the Earnest family. That kind of heinous official, Luo Lin directly let them die in various accidents, and then pushed the person who had made psychological hints to that position. As for the officials who do not commit crimes to death, Rollin sets psychological hints for them, and when they are actually mature, they will become Rollin's fatal blow to Ornest.
Of course, Rollin didn't try to hypnotize Earnest directly, but whenever he activated his ability, it would be offset by an inexplicable force, and it couldn't act on Earnest, and after a few times, Rollin gave up. Presumably it should be the world consciousness who made a move, after all, he is the villain in the original work, if he can be solved by Luo Lin so easily, then he will not die at the end in the original work.
Time flies quickly, three months later, Luo Lin has basically controlled the imperial capital by virtue of his means beyond ordinary people, and above the court, the officials who can be used by Luo Lin have reached sixty percent, and more than half of the remaining forty percent have been psychologically hinted by Luo Lin, and less than two percent of the people who are really in the same boat as Earnest are already in the same boat.
And the armed forces of the imperial capital, the city guards have been firmly controlled by General Bude, only the imperial capital garrison is still under the orders of Ornest, coupled with the hidden power of Ornest, if they really want to fight, Ornest may not have the power to fight back. Therefore, before the time is ripe, Rollin will not move Earnest for the time being, and will become immortal with the serpent, and there will be endless troubles in the future.
"Your Majesty, the two people you asked us to pay attention to have arrived in the imperial capital early this morning. Judging by their embarrassment, there should be no money. ”
A rich, gorgeously dressed middle-aged man trotted up to Rollin and reported. He is the representative of the Chamber of Commerce selected by Luo Lin from the twenty or so merchants, and is responsible for the connection between the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce and him, after all, he is a dignified emperor, and he can't personally inquire about the operation of the Chamber of Commerce.
"Oh, has it finally arrived? Let's do what I told you before. ”
Luo Lin didn't look at the person, and continued to browse through the development materials of the emperor in his hand. You must know that the reason why the empire can last for a thousand years is that those forty-eight imperial tools are indispensable, and Luo Lin has long been interested in those imperial tools, but he does not want to become an imperial tool, but wants to know how to make imperial tools.
Through this period of time, Luo Lin has already gained some gains, just wait to get one or two imperial tools, and after analysis, he can try to make his own imperial tools. Although in this world, Oliha, the main material for making imperial tools, has just been exhausted, but for Rollin, who is now full of power in the world, it was not even a thought to create it.
"Yes, the little one understands."
Seeing that Luo Lin didn't pay attention to him, the middle-aged man bowed and quietly withdrew. Don't look at them, the main members of the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce, who have been in a lot of scenery recently, but they all clearly know that the current life is given to them by Luo Lin, so even if they offend the Heavenly King Lao Tzu, they don't dare to offend Luo Lin. Because they offended the king of heaven, they would die, but if they offended Luo Lin, as soon as Luo Lin stopped supplying them, they would really be worse than dead.
"Lin, haven't you been paying attention to those two people before, why don't you care about them now that they have appeared?"
Asuna looked at Rollin strangely, with his current attitude, it was obvious that those two people were completely dispensable characters, since this was the case, why did he go to great lengths to find these two people in the first place, isn't it inconsistent.
"You can save two innocent lambs when I'm in a good mood."
Rollin put down the information in his hand and smiled mysteriously at Asuna.
At the same time, at the west gate of the imperial capital, two teenagers and girls, a man and a woman, dressed in shabby clothes, looked at the prosperous imperial capital with excitement.
The passers-by on the side would point their fingers at them, because they knew that two more hillbillies had jumped into the fire pit without hesitation because of the beauty of the imperial capital from hearsay.
In the restaurant not far away, the wealthy businessman who was always watching the two of them, after listening to the whispers of his subordinates to him, straightened his brocade clothes and walked towards the two with a smile.
"The two of you should be coming to the imperial capital for the first time, I don't know what it is?"
Sayo and Iyeas couldn't help but be a little nervous when they saw a man who knew he was rich at a glance coming up for questioning.
"I, we want to join the army."
"Joining the army? Why do you want to join the military? ”
The rich businessman took a moment, these days, who doesn't know that joining the army is equivalent to playing with life, and now the foreign nationalities and rebels outside are making more and more trouble, and they can't tell when they will be sent to the battlefield, and it is not certain whether they can come back alive at that time.
"Because we've heard that being an officer will make a lot of money so we can save our village."
Iyeas said solemnly, this is the purpose of the two of them and Tazmi leaving the village to break out, but they met robbers on the way, robbed their own money, and let them get separated from Tazmi, and I don't know if Tazmi has arrived in the imperial capital now.
"I see, but I don't recommend you to join the army."
As soon as the rich businessman's eyes rolled, he had an idea in his heart, and it seemed that it was not so difficult to complete the task given to him by His Majesty the Emperor.
"Why?"
"You're from a remote place, so it may not be clear. If you want to serve as an officer in the army, if you don't have a nobleman's recommendation, you must start as an ordinary soldier. No matter how good your skills are, it will take at least half a year to faint the Ten, and if you want to achieve your goal of saving the village, you must at least reach the rank of general. In this case, it will take you at least ten years, you may be able to wait, can your village afford to wait? ”
"This ......"
Sayo and Iyeas began to hesitate, they didn't expect that there was such a big gap between reality and ideals, it seemed that they were really taking it for granted.
"But don't be discouraged, your purpose is not to make money, and you don't have to join the army. I happen to have two jobs here, and if you do a good job, in less than two days you will have enough money to buy your entire village. How about you come and try it with me? ”
"Really! Thank you so much. ”
Iyeas hurriedly responded, and Sha You next to him also had a heart-warming expression.
That is, Luo Lin is well-intentioned and wants to save the two of them once, otherwise with their behavior of being so gullible about others, even if others sell them, they will still help others count the money.
