"Lord Lin, Lord Lin, wait! This humble official was muddle-headed. This humble official is willing to hand over half of the family's wealth to Lord Lin to deal with!”
The five Embroidered Uniform guards heard the order and were about to take Fei Zhong down when Fei Zhong immediately shouted.
"What does Lord Fei mean by this? What do you mean by handing him over to me for punishment? You make it sound like I'm accepting bribes. It was not easy to build the East Chamber. We need a lot of money, food, and land. It is not given to me, but a personal donation from Lord Fei!”Lin Xu explained with a smile.
"Yes, sir! Yes! Yes! I donated money to Lord Lin to build the East Chamber!”Fei Zhong immediately echoed. In his heart, he was cursing Lin Xu for being insatiable and a traitor!
Lin Xu couldn't read minds, so he didn't know that Fei Zhong was cursing him in his heart. Even if he knew, he would just laugh it off.
"Sir Fei is indeed a loyal minister of Great Shang. This governor thanks Sir Fei for his donation on behalf of the twenty thousand soldiers of the East Hall! Lord Fei, please rise!" Lin Xu stood up and helped Fei Zhong up.
"I should, I should!" Fei Zhong wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and laughed awkwardly.
"Yes! Two days later, I will send soldiers to collect the money and grain. I hope Sir Fei will cooperate. We have the account of Sir Fei's property. If the amount is wrong, Sir Fei should know the consequences!”Lin Xu said with a smile.
"This lowly official will definitely prepare the accounts properly.”Fei Zhong replied respectfully.
"That's for the best. This Governor still has things to deal with, so I won't be staying in the residence for long! Farewell, Lord Fei!" With the money and food in hand, Lin Xu was willing to stay longer. He cupped his fists and bid farewell.
"Lord Lin, take care!" Fei Zhong bowed and cupped his fists.
Lin Xu nodded and walked out of the living room. Fei Zhong sat up straight and took a sip of tea after Lin Xu left. He heaved a sigh of relief and was about to ask the maid to prepare a hot bath when he saw Lin Xu return. His expression changed and he stood up immediately!
"Lord Lin? Why did he come back? Someone come! Prepare good wine and food. I want to entertain Lord Lin!”Fei Zhong stood up and asked Lin Xu respectfully, then shouted towards the door!
"There's no need, I just have a matter for Sir Fei to do!”Lin Xu waved his hand at the servant who came in and said.
"If Lord Lin has any instructions, this lowly official will definitely do as you say!”Fei Zhong flattered.
"Lord You Hun will be persuaded by Lord Fei. Similarly, two days later, send armored soldiers to the You Residence to collect it!”Lin Xu said.
"Alright! I understand!" Fei Zhong replied.
"Yes! Thank you, Sir Fei! As long as Lord Fei works with me, I'll ensure your safety!”Lin Xu promised and left Fei Zhong's residence!
After returning to the East Hall, Lin Xu asked Wang Guide,""Lord Wang, how many people have come to select the East Chamber's Iron Guards?”
"Reporting to the factory supervisor, there are a total of 20,000 strong people stationed in the military camp outside the city!”Wang Guide said respectfully.
"Yes! Are the 10,000 sets of heavy armors and weapons ready?”Lin Xu nodded in satisfaction and continued to ask,
"It's still a little short, but I've already ordered all the blacksmiths in the city to start forging. It should be ready in three days!”Wang Guide replied.
"Good! Not bad! Lord Wang is indeed a capable official. As long as Lord Wang does his job well for this governor, he will enjoy endless glory and wealth! Now, I officially appoint you as the steward of the East Hall Yamen. Don't disappoint me!”Lin Xu looked at Wang Guide and felt that he was indeed capable. He had been busy with many things for Lin Xu in the past half a month!
"Thank you, Factory Governor! Ah, no! Thank you, my lord! I'll do my best, but I'll go through fire and water if my lord orders me to!”Wang Guide joyfully expressed his loyalty!
"Yes! That's right! How many of the 8,000 warhorses that I need to purchase from all over the world that can be used for battle already have?”Lin Xu thought of something and immediately asked.
"We do have horses, but, but…" Wang Guide said hesitantly.
"But what?" Lin Xu asked.
"However, if we transport those eight thousand warhorses over, our money and food will be a little tight!”Wang Guide replied.
"I'm fine! Two days later, the ship would have a large amount of money, food, and land. Don't worry about money and food!" Lin Xu waved his hand.
"Then there's no problem! The horses were already on their way to Chaoge!”Wang Guide replied respectfully.
Lin Xu nodded. He wanted these 8,000 warhorses to form the 5,000 cavalry of the East Chamber. Cavalry had already appeared in the Shang Dynasty, but they were not used on a large scale. They were mainly infantry and chariot soldiers!
"You may leave!" Lin Xu waved at Wang Guide, signaling him to leave!
"Here!" Wang Guide bowed and left the hall!
After Wang Guide left, Lin Xu asked Xiao Xuan in his mind,""Little Xuan, it's been so long, why haven't there been any missions? He didn't get any benefits! Isn't your system too trashy?"
"Oh! Sorry, the mission system is still calculating the data of this world and changing the mission reward plan!”Xiao Xuan replied sweetly.
"Didn't you change the mission reward plan? Why do you still want to change it?" Lin Xu frowned and complained.
"After all, this world is the world of immortals and demons. There are many rewards that need to be sorted out for you. Moreover, the system hasn't even given you the ultimate mission!”Xiao Xuan explained.
"Then when will it be good?" Lin Xu asked.
"Ding dong! The system had successfully changed! This system is called the Life's Pinnacle System. It has released the ultimate mission: Build the celestial heavens, you will be the celestial emperor, the master of humans, immortals, and demons!”
Lin Xu listened to the familiar cold voice of the system and listened carefully to the final mission. He was speechless and complained,"The difficulty of completing this ultimate mission is too high! To establish the Heavenly Court, one had to have the strength of a Saint at the very least!”
"It's okay, Master. Don't worry. The system is here to help! You will definitely complete the ultimate mission! Moreover, Master, don't you also want to become an immortal above immortals?”Xiao Xuan gently comforted her.
"Alright then! I hope the system will give me more strength!" Lin Xu said helplessly.
"Ding dong! Detected that the host is building his own faction. Completion reward: [Innate Arts, Punishment for Failure: Withdraw Peak Mortal Martial Ability!]”
