In the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Li Longxuan sat on the first place, and below sat Gruss, Shi Yaoqian, Han Tiesheng, and some of Li Longxuan's henchmen and Shrek's donkey.

A large crowd of people gathered, and of course, the dead-skinned donkey sat at the end, with a rippling face.

This is a meeting that Li Longxuan holds every seven days, and the people who can enter the meeting are all Li Longxuan's confidants.

"Gruss, how many gold coins do we have now?" Li Longxuan smiled slightly, looked at Gruss and asked.

"Back to the young master, we still have a lot of gold coins, although we have spent a lot of money during this time, but there is also a lot of income, in the inventory, there are more than 80 million coins, plus the monthly income of the restaurant and various businesses, I think there should be more.

"More than 80 million pieces, and if you go up a little more, it's 100 million. A smile appeared at the corner of Li Longxuan's mouth, and he was secretly happy: "It seems that doing business is really not ordinary to make money, and the annual tax revenue of the Shenlong Empire is only a few hundred million gold coins, am I considered a rich country?"

Thinking about his transformation from a poor bastard to now worth nearly 100 million, Li Longxuan really didn't want to secretly sigh, this power is equal to being rich.

"Grus, we can now stabilize Cold Bone City, I think it's time to expand, do you have any good plans?" Li Longxuan asked with a smile as he looked at the people below.

"Your Highness, the minister thinks that we shouldn't use troops against the outside now, let alone the empire, we are still nominally officials of Cold Bone City, and we should just develop Cold Bone City now. "Han Tiesheng was the first to stand up and object, Li Longxuan took Cold Bone City, Han Tiesheng did not object, but if he wanted to send troops to tear his face with the Shenlong Empire, he was absolutely unwilling, and now is not the time.

"Young Master, I think what Commander Han said is reasonable, we are not the time to use troops externally for the time being. Gruss said, standing up.

"My lord, we should first put an end to the problems on the grassland, and then expand outward. Shi Yaoqian hurriedly agreed.

The people in the entire hall have spoken out to persuade Li Longxuan, although Li Longxuan has already controlled Cold Bone City, has a strong army, and has a certain prestige in Cold Bone City, but all this is based on the fact that he is the nominal master of Cold Bone City, if he sends troops to occupy other places in the Shenlong Empire, not to mention that it will cause a resistance from the local forces, even the Shenlong Empire will not allow it, and even if it is the emperor's grandson, he will be rebellious and will be subject to the requisition of the Shenlong Empire.

Li Longxuan smiled slightly, and said: "I know what you said, but time waits for no one, I think that after the snowflakes in Cold Bone City have melted, the news of Cold Bone City should also be known by the gods, and then I will have to go back to the God Capital." ”

"Until then, I have to do everything I have to do. Li Longxuan took a deep puff of his cigarette, and then said: "Don't worry, my expansion this time is not to expand with soldiers, but to expand with money!"

"Expand with money?"

"How does money expand?"

Everyone's minds are full of questions, how is this money going to expand? What the hell is going on?

A smile appeared on the corner of Li Longxuan's mouth, and said: "Now we are also a big family, but I think it is still not enough, there are so many counties and counties around us, but they don't belong to me yet, even the gods, there is no one who can speak for me, so it is very dangerous for us to go on like this." ”

"I'm in Cold Bone City, and those people in the Divine Capital can't do anything with me, but once I leave Cold Bone City, once I return to the Divine Capital, I'll be a soft egg to be bullied by others, so before I go back, I have to find some people, and let some people become our people. ”

"Gruss, tomorrow you will send someone to the nearby county to contact the local officials and famous families, and if you can establish a relationship, you will establish a relationship, and if you can buy it, you will buy it. Among so many families and so many officials in the empire, there are definitely those who like money and women, you give me a firm grip on them, especially some officials in the imperial capital, who can be bought, try to buy, and those who can't be bought, secretly kill!" Li Longxuan's eyes flashed with a trace of killing intent, and he snorted coldly, and said: "Commander Han, in the military world, you also know a lot of colleagues, I think you should also contact them more." Li Longxuan smiled Han Tiesheng, Han Tiesheng is a big man in the military world, with his support, are you afraid that you won't be able to do anything?

Many officials of the Shenlong Empire are indeed very honest, but there are also many corrupt officials, and it is the so-called promotion to get rich, and the purpose of being an official is not to make a fortune? Especially in this ancient period, the opportunity to be an official was to make a fortune.

Li Longxuan didn't believe it, he couldn't win over a group of officials. After a burst of sugar-coated shells, Li Longxuan didn't believe it, could he be a lackey?

Especially those big officials in Shendu, which one of them is not all money in their heads, but all power? There are hundreds of people, and there is always a small part of them that can be used by me.

In fact, in the Shenlong Empire, it is the entire Great 6 empires, various tribes, it is very common to form a party for personal gain, the emperor has people who support him, the prince also has people who support him, the princes and princes, and there are more people who support themselves.

And all this, when the emperor, is naturally happy to see it, if the officials are all of one heart, then it will be troublesome to be the emperor.

In the future, Li Shaolong will also enter the court and compete with those big names in the court, so there must be a group of people who support him.

It's too late to cultivate now, so you have to choose from among the high-ranking officials of the prefecture and the officials of the divine capital.

The officials of the Cold Bone City belong to the local border officials, and they can't enter the court, so Li Longxuan looked at other counties and even Shendu.

Li Longxuan didn't believe it anymore, this group of ministers who loved money as much as their lives and greedy for money and fame would not be bribed by themselves and would not stand behind their backs? As for the future, I will naturally talk about it later.

When he truly became the emperor of the Shenlong Empire, those officials naturally should be replaced, and those who should be killed will be killed.

Li Longxuan is seeking the country.

"Also, Gruss, it's time for our caravan to expand, our storefront restaurant must cover the entire Shenlong Empire, I need our intelligence personnel not only in the Imperial Capital, but also in every place in the Shenlong Empire!" Li Longxuan said, and a king's aura erupted from his body.

"Yes!" said the crowd as they stood up.
