Chapter 238: Chapter 236 Who Says the Emperor Doesn’t Lie?
Upon hearing this, the little Eunuch imdiately felt as though he had been granted amnesty!
He kowtowed fiercely to the Emperor, repeatedly assuring that there would absolutely not be a next ti.
anwhile, the Emperor, clearly impatient, waved his hand dismissively, signaling for him to step back. The young Emperor himself helplessly surveyed the chaotic ss around him.
Suddenly, a sense of amusent arose within the young Emperor.
Eventually, he couldn’t help but let out a chuckle.
If Lin Yi, that rascal, knew about this, he would surely die of laughter.
Haha, that fellow really has a way. Within just a few days, he managed to burst my Inner Hall.
It’s unimaginable. It’s unprecedented, even my own father, the forr Emperor, never had such wealth in the Inner Hall.
During the years following my ascension, it’s no exaggeration to say even mice would feel poor inside the Inner Hall.
So much so that the mice would shed tears upon entering.
Perhaps it is because of this that the Eunuchs in charge of the Inner Hall’s safety have never thought to renovate it.
After all, Lin Yi made money too fast, catching everyone off guard.
One mont these Eunuchs were staring blankly at the empty Inner Hall, the next, it was stuffed full.
No one could have imagined or adjusted to such a situation.
That’s why, this ti, the Emperor didn’t intend to bla them.
“It’s all because of that rascal Lin Yi. If it weren’t for him, how could my good Inner Hall have burst?
Ah, renovating the Inner Hall is going to cost a lot of Silver.
No, I cannot bear these costs.
Isn’t it obvious that my Inner Hall is in a state of ruin and there’s no money for repairs?
Soone, convey my decree to Lin Yi to assign the best craftsn from the Ministry of Industry to rebuild my Inner Hall.
As for the expenses, just have the Ministry of Revenue cover them.”
Listening to the Emperor’s decree, seeing all the gold and silver treasures scattered on the ground, even the Eunuch who was delivering the ssage couldn’t help but curse inwardly.
The Emperor used to be so kind, how could he lie with his eyes open now?
The one thing certainly not lacking in the Inner Hall now is Silver.
Yet, according to the Emperor, he seems to be the poorest one of all.
Of course, whether it’s the Inner Hall or the Ministry of Revenue, everything ultimately belongs to the Emperor.
Since the Emperor has spoken so, they would rely deliver the decree, certainly not daring to utter half a word of dissent.
And the news quickly reached Lin Yi’s ears.
When he heard about the young Emperor’s decree, he was stunned.
He never imagined that the Emperor would at this ti call for the renovation of Juqian Palace.
This left him sowhat helpless.
What exactly does this fellow intend to do? Does he not know how to spend the money now? Why suddenly the need to repair the palace?
After all, Lin Yi was a man from the future, so he wasn’t aware of what exactly Juqian Palace was intended for.
Fortunately, the Eunuch delivering the ssage seed to sense Lin Yi’s confusion and cautiously hinted.
“What? You’re saying Juqian Palace is the Emperor’s Inner Hall? And today it actually collapsed under the weight of gold??”
Lin Yi, after all, was no outsider, so the palace Eunuch didn’t conceal anything from him, explaining everything that had happened today.
After hearing this explanation, Lin Yi was completely bewildered, feeling utterly lost.
He never imagined the Emperor’s Inner Hall was in such a state of disrepair.
That it couldn’t even accommodate such a modest amount of wealth.
And to think he had placed all this wealth within the palace for safekeeping.
Now it seems, it would be safer in his own residence.
But this was also good, a perfect opportunity to properly reconstruct Juqian Palace.
When his bank plan could finally be scheduled, he could use it as the ultimate location for the treasury.
However, for utmost precaution and safety, Lin Yi decided, he first needed to produce cent.
After all, with concrete, the safety of the treasury could be further enhanced.
Thinking this, Lin Yi directly addressed the Eunuch who was delivering the ssage:
“Go back and tell His Majesty, tell him not to worry. After so ti, I will naturally rebuild Juqian Palace for him.
As for the money currently stored there, His Majesty need not worry about that either.
Just tell His Majesty, I will spend all that Silver in a short ti.”
However, Lin Yi’s casual and nonchalant words terrified the little Eunuch.
Look at that, is that sothing a person would say?
If I really went back and told His Majesty that, wouldn’t His Majesty directly drag out to be executed?
Thinking this, the Eunuch’s face imdiately showed a bitter expression:
“Eunuch Lin, I dare not!
If I really reported this to His Majesty, he would definitely be furious and have executed.”
In this mont, he truly understood what it ant for ‘immortals to fight while the mortals suffer’.
But it seed that Lin Yi noticed the Eunuch’s apprehension and just waved his hand:
“Just confidently convey my words to His Majesty.
His Majesty surely won’t make things difficult for you.”
Since Eunuch Lin had already said so, he naturally couldn’t say much else.
He realized that he was just a minor Eunuch, truly powerless.
His words held no weight in Lin Yi’s view.
Since his ssage was already delivered to Lin Yi, he quickly acknowledged with a yes, and then took his leave.
After the little Eunuch left, Lin Yi didn’t just sit idle; he imdiately set off for the Nanshan Base.
Since the Emperor had established the Nanshan Thousand Households, quite a long ti had passed, and there had been no action.
Now, wasn’t it the most appropriate ti?
The most important factor was still the developnt of cent.
Aside from the Nanshan Migrant House, there was also a Nanshan Research Institute waiting for him to build.
And the reason why no real construction had started was entirely because he didn’t have enough Silver.
Now, with the Emperor’s Inner Hall having collapsed,
… End of this chapter …
