The construction of White Horse Temple was put on the agenda.
Song Bo considered that if one day in the future, the patron palace rebelled, the prince would lead troops back from the north, and the second master would lead troops back from the west. If the White Horse Temple was located in the east or south, it could form an encirclement with the prince and the second master. The force of the pincer attack echoes each other, and can also intercept the royal nobles who want to escape.
So Song Bo started to pick the hills on the southeast side of Yandi City, and finally selected Daqing Mountain, which was more than 20 miles away from the south city.
This Daqingshan is the property of the Zhang family in Nancheng, with forest gardens, pastures and villas on it.
When he heard that the patron prince's palace was interested in Daqingshan, Zhang Renshan, who was the official doctor of the Ministry of Justice at the time, immediately said that all the forest gardens on the mountain had died of drought this year, and the animals in the pasture had also suffered from plague, leaving only a small The Broken Villa is still worth some money, so I'll just sell it for a fortune. As for the title deed to the hilltop and so on, they are all considered as gifts, I just want them to be sold quickly.
The patron Wangfu wanted to buy it, and the Zhang family happened to want to sell it, so they hit it off immediately.
In the morning, Songbo had just chosen a place, and before noon arrived, the craftsmen and laborers had already started to go up the mountain one after another.
With the generous investment of manpower and material resources from the patron palace, in just a few days, the foundation of the White Horse Temple was laid.
Daqingshan has since been officially renamed Baima Mountain.
That night, the young prince kicked the little Shixian to death, and the riot at Shihuashui Tower had not subsided. In the past few days, the news that the patron prince's palace had bought the hilltop to build a temple spread again. Without any deliberate guidance from the patron palace, everyone began to talk about it, and they were certain that the White Horse Temple must be for Miss Xuanxuan to become a monk and practice.
Public opinion was rampant for a while.
People who have never seen Xuanxuan are extremely curious and wonder how beautiful she is and how she can bewitch the dignified young prince like this.
And those who have met Xuanxuan have one more thing to brag about. Jiang Xuanxuan praised that there are few unparalleled people in the sky and on earth. As long as they see her, she will make people fascinated, forget about food and drink, and will never forget her for the rest of their lives.
Occasionally, if a sober person says that Xuanxuan is indeed beautiful, but beautiful, but not so exaggerated, they will be laughed at and ridiculed by the crowd.
"My young prince has slept with more beauties than you have ever seen! Do you think your taste is higher than that of my young prince?"
"Didn't you hear that not only the young prince, but also the Grand Master's grandson and the Ninth Prince were there that day? There was almost a fight over the fight for Miss Xuanxuan! How could these top gentlemen have such bad tastes?"
"Yes, yes, you are the only one who is unique, you are the only one who is different! Haha, what a sensationalist!"
"..."
Over time, fewer people dare to tell the truth.
As a result, Xuanxuan gradually became known as a fairy descending to earth, a peerless beauty that is rare to see in thousands of years.
It's a pity that the oiran Xuanxuan who performed every night in the Shihuashui Tower has now become a canary raised in the palace of the patron prince, which is not something ordinary people can see.
Countless young talents who have never been to Shihuashui Tower and missed the opportunity to see Xuanxuan's true appearance regretted it and sighed for it!
"It's really outrageous that he opened the door for Li Ke. It's so outrageous." After hearing the direction of the rumor, even Li Fu couldn't help but be stunned. He frowned and said, "Why does this sound like Shi Hua Shui Lou is opening the door for him?" Soft advertising marketing?"
Although Songbo didn't understand what soft advertising marketing was, he understood what Li Fu meant, so he responded with a smile: "Haha, through this incident, the status of Shihuashuilou has indeed been improved to a higher level. Guests gather every night, the seats are packed, and business is in full swing. If before, Shihua Shuilou could only be regarded as one of the top brothels, now the word "one" can be removed. However, Shihua Shuilou is still Being sensible, when the rumors were about to start, he sent 200,000 gold to our palace, saying it was Miss Xuanxuan's dowry. Anyway, the direction of the speech is what we want to see, so who is behind this, adding fuel to the flames? I didn’t investigate further.”
Have you paid protection fees?
Li Fu suddenly realized that his idea of beating up the Shihua Shui Tower faded away, and he didn't talk about it any more.
Changing the topic, Li Fu asked again: "So far, how much has it cost to acquire natural treasures and rare medicinal materials?"
At this time, there were two boxes placed at Songbo's feet, which contained the treasures and rare medicinal materials that had just been purchased. These were the thirty-sixth and thirty-seventh boxes that had been delivered in recent days. Boxed.
Now, the recharging progress bar of the magical power of resurrecting the dead is only a little short, and these two boxes are enough. So Li Fu curiously asked about the total cost, hoping to know it well.
Song Bo replied: "The acquisition cost more than 1.3 million gold. Adding in the inventory of our palace, it is almost more than 700,000 gold. The treasures of heaven and earth and rare medicinal materials that you have consumed in the past few days, little prince, The total value is around 2.1 million gold."
More than 2.1 million gold... Such a huge amount of money is enough to crush some first-rate forces. The annual tax revenue of most cities cannot reach this amount. That is to say, the backing of the palace tree has deep roots and rich family wealth, so that he can support such a loser as Li Fu.
"So many?" Li Fu raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise.
He thought it would only be more than one million gold at most, but he didn't expect it to be so much more than that.
Songbo explained: "Because the young prince is so important, our palace basically wiped out all the treasures and rare medicinal materials on the market in a short period of time, which caused the price to skyrocket. That's it. , we must have used some means, otherwise we probably wouldn’t be able to stop it even with three million..."
"That's true." Li Fu nodded understandingly, and then ordered: "Stop the acquisition, I don't need it for the time being. After the price drops, slowly collect it at a low price and store it."
"Yes." Songbo responded.
"Oh, spending money is like running water!" Li Fu sighed with emotion, but he didn't feel too distressed.
It's just over two million dollars, not worth mentioning.
You know, now they have an old hen that can lay golden eggs in their hands. As long as you make good use of it, making money is just like having fun!
"How's Tieniu doing lately? Songbo, put more pressure on him and stop letting him slack off!" Li Fu asked with concern.
Songbohui reported: "Tieniu is still like that, thinking only about escaping from slavery and practicing martial arts. According to your instructions, young prince, I have taught him a low-level martial arts and let him practice it first. I am afraid that he will I slacked off due to dissatisfaction, and I did not refuse to leave slavery. Instead, I said that I would consider it and let him go first. Our Wangfu wine shop opened two days ago, and the sales of Wang Liujian were very good. At the beginning , everyone went to buy wine, and they came to support our palace. After tasting Wang Liujian, they all started to buy it back. Now, Wang Liujiang's reputation has spread, and people from other cities have started to come there specially. Come and buy. The average daily turnover of the wine shop is about 20,000 gold, and it is still increasing slowly. I am considering opening branches in other cities, but according to Tieniu, I want to recruit some agents..."
"Just follow Tieniu's wishes." Li Fu said firmly.
