With Jiang Xingchen's current strength, there is no problem in fighting three or four legions. But then his territorial construction plan would also be terminated, and the devastation of the Star Collar was not what he wanted to see.

Moreover, although bees and King Kong ants are fierce, they are not suitable for going out to fight. There are too few people who can control it, he, Catwoman, and Han Xiaowu. really turned his face with the emperor, how can he be controlled by only three people. More people in the church command demon beasts, he doesn't dare, in case there is a situation of rebellion.

I don't want to fall out with the Emperor, and that limestone barren mountain must be won, so Jiang Xingchen will choose to use his own advantages to stimulate the Emperor. He believed that the Emperor must have seen the importance of public opinion propaganda to rulers.

If you see the influence of Xingchen Monthly, and if you want paper, then give me a reward. It is not enough to give you a grenade in the front, but only to give a first-class earl.

On the other hand, the Great Emperor also has concerns, and it is not a problem to take down the Star Collar. Can't you take care of Jiang Xingchen's kid with the power of a country? Personnel, materials, transportation, which aspects can't be stuck in the Xingchen Collar, even if the Duan family is concerned, he can be transferred back with a word!

But now the empire is not really a monopoly, and there are eight kingdoms united. There are also the two clans of the Orc Alliance and the Xuanyuan Heavenly Sect. Once there is civil strife in the empire, the other party will definitely not let go of this opportunity.

The current situation is that the hemp pole beats the wolf, and no one is willing to use force.

Actually, from the point of view of the emperor himself, he didn't want to be like this with Jiang Xingchen. But no leader wants to see a disobedient person under him, especially after Jiang Xingchen designed a grenade. The emperor didn't want to control him all the time.

But Jiang Xingchen's soul is from the earth, and the most unbearable thing is to lose his freedom, how can he be willing to be accused. This is simply an irreconcilable contradiction.

In the past, the empire was troubled internally and externally. Jiang Xingchen and the Great Emperor both relied on each other, and this contradiction was deliberately ignored by both sides. Now that the overall situation is stable, this contradiction has emerged.

And both sides have their own insistences, which has caused such a delicate relationship now.

Although the Emperor was extremely greedy for the influence of paper and monthly magazines, he endured it. He knew that Jiang Xingchen must have a purpose for making such a big move in a row.

He was waiting for Jiang Xingchen to say his purpose first, so that even if he negotiated. He will also have an advantage.

Jiang Xingchen on the other side was also waiting, waiting for the emperor to find him to ask for things, then he was sure that he could go to the limestone mine. He had ignored the other party's request for anti-inflammatory drugs and syringes. I'm just going to get bigger up here......

On June 28th, the chess and card competition finally came to an end after more than 20 days of competition from the qualifiers to the finals. Chess. Wang Zheng attacked with unstoppable sharpness. Won the title in one fell swoop.

Even the five sons, the dark horse fell out, the seeded players were picked out one by one, and the final champion was not any of the seeded players. is a commoner who was unknown before, named Heda, and this is also the person who brought the richest income to Jiang Xingchen's gambling market.

The suspense of mahjong is not big, the player who was favored before was shortlisted for the semi-finals, and the final winner was a noble child.

The old man saw the person who won the mahjong game and immediately recognized it. This is a gentleman who has been messing around in the chess and card hall since the opening of the new town last year. I've even played cards with myself.

"Everyone has their own good side, I said at the beginning that this little gentleman is not promising, and he knows how to play all day long. Who knew that you could play famous......"

When the old man sighed, Jiang Xingchen personally gave trophies to the three kings, as well as 10,000 citrine coins.

The three winners held the jade carved trophies in their hands, and all that was left was grinning. Especially Wang Zheng and He Da, who have completely lost their language function at this moment.

Although they all knew that the championship prize was 10,000 citrine coins, but when they really held 10,000 in their hands, their minds went blank in an instant. Born in commoners, where have they ever seen so much money, their family may not be able to earn it for a lifetime.

At this time, the two of them didn't realize that after obtaining the title of king issued by the Star Leader, their worth was far from being comparable to 10,000 citrine coins.

Later, a big trading house approached them to do publicity, and gave tens of thousands of citrine coins at a time, and they woke up and understood that the value of the title of king far exceeded the bonus they received at the beginning.

With the end of the chess and card competition, the supplementary circulation of Xingchen Monthly has also seen a new peak. The very next day, the supplement had an unprecedented one million copies.

When this number was heard, everyone who paid attention to the Star Collar was shocked. Especially those businessmen who bought advertising space, they spoke excitedly and loudly ordered their subordinates: "Keep an eye on me and report the sales situation at any time!"

In the next two days, a million copies of the supplement were sold out, and the news of the chess and card tournament could be heard almost everywhere on the street, talking about civilians.

"See, it's a civilian who wins the championship! and it's two ......."

"The bonus of 10,000 citrine coins, how high does it have to be stacked?"

"I don't know how high the stack is, but piling it up together will definitely bury you...... Look at your little bit of interest, no matter how many 10,000 citrine coins are, it's dead money, and that king title is the most valuable ......"

As he spoke, his face was full of envy, and his eyes were a little red.

"These two people are on fire, what a step to the sky, they will enter the upper class society in the future!"

"Don't talk about these two people, even if they are civilians in the top ten, I'm afraid they will be popular after this time, I don't know how many chess and card halls will invite them!"

"Paralyzed, I will also participate in the chess and card competition next year......"

When the civilians were talking, the big commercial houses also got the feedback, and they couldn't help laughing excitedly, this time they got it. With such influence, it would be strange if their benefits were not greatly improved.

"Fortunately, the decision was made in time, and if I missed it, I would not regret it and cry!" After the joy, the rich businessmen all rejoiced in their hearts. A million sales, they couldn't have imagined it before.

At the same time, the emperor in the imperial palace really couldn't sit still this time, although the sales of one million copies were amazing, but what made him even more shocked was the expanding influence of Xingchen Monthly. If it continues like this, even if the Empire's monthly magazine is launched, I am afraid it will not have much effect.

"No, I can't wait!" The emperor couldn't hold his breath any longer, slapped the table hard, and ordered: "Hurry up and send someone to invite the marshal to me!"

In a moment, the marshal entered the palace hall. Half a month later, with a solemn face, the marshal hurriedly walked out of the palace again......

At this time, the lord's mansion of the Star Lords was full of jubilation, and the first chess and card competition was successfully held, and everyone was very happy.

Especially Grandpa Fu, at first he thought that this chess and card competition was to lose money, but who would have thought that he would earn about 12 million in the end. Advertising alone accounts for nine million. The rest are won by opening bets.

"Sir's ability to make money, I really didn't say it!" Grandpa Fu admired in his heart.

Zhao Danqing is also happy, Zhaojia Pharmaceutical has come back to life, and he has no reason to be unhappy. Especially two days ago, he also saw the Lingcao Hall and the Yellow Crane Hall, and the comfort in his heart was mentioned.

When everyone was in high spirits, the only one who was a little depressed was the old man.

They still haven't studied Xian Ning's injuries, and the chess and card tournament hasn't been enjoyable, so of course he is unhappy.

Xian Ning was relieved, and let out a long breath, and after the high-intensity supplement, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Actually, if she is asked to print a supplement now, she can't get it out. Materials, lime, have been consumed completely, and if it weren't for the inventory in the first two months of paper production, and the circulation of 800,000 or 1 million in the back, paper would not have been produced at all.

In the next two days, the star collar gradually calmed down, and after a period of high-intensity work, people also needed to take a break.

In the course of these two days, the raw materials for papermaking and the newly mined lime were once again prepared.

June 30th, Jiang Xingchen's nineteenth birthday. This time, he didn't greet anyone, so he and Mei'er stayed quietly in the lord's mansion for a day. No one came to find Jiang Xingchen, he was busy for so long, he wanted to stay with Mei'er for a while.

The two sat in the shade of the tree in the courtyard chatting, and Jiang Xingchen continued to paint a modern city to Mei'er. Mei'er listened with a smile, her eyes glazed over.

For dinner, Jiang Xingchen was going to do it, but Mei'er grabbed it and didn't let him do anything.

A quiet day passed, calm and welcoming. The next morning, Mei'er set off again and went to the Moon Shadow Kingdom.

Before leaving, the little girl wanted to leave the pink for Jiang Xingchen, saying that she had reached the condensation realm and did not need protection.

But Jiang Xingchen still didn't say anything, and pushed Mei'er into the carriage.

After Mei'er left, Jiang Xingchen always felt a little strange, as if Mei'er came back this time, something was not right. But he couldn't say what was wrong.

He was pondering there when Han Xiaowu came to say, "Sir, Lord Marshal is here!"

"Uh!" Jiang Xingchen was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed: "The Great Emperor has finally come to me!"

"Let's go, follow me to meet the marshal!" Jiang Xingchen got up with a smile, and his mind turned to this side, and Mei'er's matter was put aside for the time being.

Outside the lord's mansion, Lord Marshal looked at Jiang Xingchen with a smile on his face, and sighed secretly in his heart. Although the emperor has compromised, the contradictions between you have become more acute, and the future will ......

"Lord Marshal, why are you here in person!" Jiang Xingchen laughed and stepped forward.

"Hmph, do you still want the Emperor to come over in person?" replied the marshal angrily.

Jiang Xingchen was choked by the marshal, as if he hadn't heard it, turned around and led the way to the Lord's Mansion! (To be continued......)
