I Don't Want To Be the Emperor Chapter 49

Chapter 49: Unparalleled Elegance

If it weren't for the fact that the other party gave him 10,000 taels of tribute, he wouldn't have let him in at all.

“I hope the prince will spare him this time because he is still young and ignorant.”

Wang Cheng kowtowed again, "The common people will be disciplined strictly after they are brought back!"

Lin Yi took a sip of tea and said calmly, "If everyone begs for mercy like you, and I am spared, how can I convince everyone in the future? People may think that everything they say to the palace is nonsense."

 “The common people don't dare.”

After Wang Cheng finished speaking hurriedly, he straightened up and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty is vassaling Sanhe. It is a great blessing for Sanhe.

 It's just that Sanhe is barren, which can't help but wrong the prince.

The prince built roads and bridges to benefit one area, which really put the common people to shame.

The common people are willing to donate 50,000 taels, and I hope that the prince will fulfill my wish. "

 “Get up.”

Lin Yi smiled and said, "I'll give Mr. Wang tea at his seat. Serve him good tea."

After hearing this, Wang Cheng was about to stand up when he suddenly heard Lin Yi say, "I am not a greedy person. If I really want money, I will kill you all, not just fifty thousand taels!"

 It shouldn't be a problem to get one million taels, right? "

Wang Cheng's toes that had been propped up suddenly softened, and his dangling knees dropped to the ground again. With a pop, his whole body was shaking like chaff and he said, "Your Majesty, you have mercy."

Lin Yi said in surprise, "Are all of you pirates so timid?

I heard that when the king was out on the sea, he was known as the Sea Dragon King. He had thousands of troops and hundreds of ships at sea, and he was very majestic. "

"Your Majesty," Wang Cheng tensed up and said even more panicked, "the common people are wronged!"

 “Unjustly accused?”

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Wang Yuanwai, do you mean that this king is lying?"

 “Don't dare!”

Wang Cheng became more and more frightened. If he hadn't been so unsure of escaping from the **** in front of him, he would have wanted to run away now.

Lin Yi opened his mouth, threw a grape into his mouth, and then said casually, "There is no need to be nervous, Mr. Wang. It's better to get up and talk. Who can't tell a story these days? Let's talk about it."

 “Thank you, Your Majesty.”

Wang Cheng stood up with his numb legs, carefully retreated to the chair behind him, lifted half of his buttocks, and said with cupped hands, "The common people are willing to donate another 200,000 taels to help the prince build a bridge and a road!"

“Look, who do you think this king is?”

After Lin Yi finished eating the grapes, he took the handkerchief handed over by Hong Ying, wiped his hands, and said with a smile, "Isn't this blackmail?

 We are all smart people, so why go through so many detours, don't you think? "

 Wang Chengdao said, “This is entirely the heart of the grassroots!”

Lin Yi said, "I only want your fifty thousand taels of silver."

 Wang Cheng heard these words coming from the mouth of a current prince, and he always felt that they were not so real!

What's more, this prince is notoriously greedy for money!

 Doesn't it cost money to deliver it to your door?

 That means the picture is bigger!

 Unconsciously, my heart started to slip again.

 “Your Majesty, just ask.”

Wang Cheng gritted his teeth. Except for the lives of his family and children, everything was outside of him!

Lin Yi smiled and said, "I don't know much about the squires and sages in Sanhe. Please give them a message.

I will let the past be bygones, but from now on, please don't let them commit any crimes. I want these Sanhes to stay open at night and not pick up lost things.

Whoever breaks the regulations, I will definitely not be able to spare them.

 Unless they have any intention of rebelling, they will always be meat on my chopping board.

　　Do not think that my king's sword cannot cut anyone. "

 “The grassroots must bring the words to you!”

Wang Cheng kowtowed three times again.

“I don't accept your money for free. I use people's money to eliminate disasters for others. I still have some professional ethics.”

Lin Yi said with a smile, "I guarantee that your young master will do an easy job, and you will have meat to eat every time. You will continue to run and dance when you get back."

 “Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!”

 Wang Cheng finally did not have the guts to say let his son go back.

 It is a great blessing that his whole family can save their lives!

Seeing that Lin Yi didn't give any more instructions, he bowed three more times and cautiously left the Prince He's Mansion.

Mingyue waited for Wang Cheng to leave, then smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are really upright and upright today."

Lin Yi rolled his eyes at her and said, "Are you laughing at me?"

Since coming to Sanhe, Mingyue and Zixia have relaxed their tempers, and Lin Yi is also much happier.

Mingyue said, "I don't dare, this slave."

Lin Yiyouzai said, "You have to be skillful in cutting leeks and gathering wool. If you kill them directly, who will I look for in the future?"

 As a human being, you must take a long-term view and distinguish between meals and meals. "

"Your Majesty is wise," Zixia covered her mouth and said with a smile, "My servant said, Your Majesty must have his own reasons, which are not understandable by stupid people like us."

Lin Yi stood up and walked to the door. Suddenly he turned around and said to Hong Ying, "Let this boy Sun Yi be smarter these days in the concierge. Maybe he can make a little fortune with me."

Sun Yi, a groom and veterinarian, now has another job, working as the concierge of the palace.

 The ninth rank official in front of the prime minister's door is naturally not too bad from the palace.

 It's just that there are too few people coming to He Wang's Mansion. It's hard for a few to come, so they naturally want to seize the opportunity to make money.

Hong Ying smiled and said, "Your Majesty is so kind. It's a blessing for this little **** Sun Yi."

Lin Yi smiled and said, "I feel wronged by this guy. He just let me live a good life and suffer the consequences of this king."

 He has the responsibility both emotionally and rationally to let the people under him live their lives.

 Just being good on your own is not good.

At noon, just after dinner, we were notified that Liang Gen and Qiu Wujin, the squires of Baiyuncheng City, each brought 80,000 taels of zhi and asked to see them.

Lin Yi naturally gave him a warm welcome.

 In the evening, the sun had just set, and the great landowner Shao Qing was welcomed again.

 At this point, gifts continue to be given every day. These people seem to have discussed it well, and each of them is worth 80,000 taels.

In just five days, Lin Yi received nearly 900,000 taels of silver.

Ming Yue looked at the glittering gold and silver jewelry in the room, and finally understood what their prince meant by having a full meal.

“Whoever dares to talk to me about Sanhe's poverty in the future, I will be the first to disagree.”

Lin Yi really felt this.

The wealth of these squire and landowners completely exceeded his imagination!

However, after thinking about it, he can also understand that these people have been here for generations, and basically few of them are clean. They are either pirates, or are engaged in salt owl activities, or even secretly do maritime trade with Nanyang.

For three days, no one came to the door again. Just when Lin Yi thought that no one would come to the door again, a sedan carriage stopped at the door, followed by a long line of servants carrying boxes.

 Two hundred thousand taels!

"quick!"

Lin Yi was overjoyed and said, "Please come in and brew the king's finest Longjing."

 After sitting on the chair, a woman dressed in white caught his eyelids.

Looking at that suffocating face, he instantly thought of one word: peerless elegance.

 Why didn't he know that Sanhe would have such a woman!

It's a pity that Song Cheng is not here, otherwise Lin Yi would definitely kick him hard!

 Intelligence error!
