"Sir, please come back to the palace quickly!" The emperor quickly dragged his robes and got into the car with great swagger.
Jun Zhi was invited to sit in the carriage that followed.
"From now on, you will be the national master of our country! As long as you help our country prosper, I promise you prosperity and wealth from generation to generation!"
Jun Zhi didn't even have the courtesy of a commoner towards a king, but the man on the dragon throne wasn't angry at all.
"My dear friends, you must actively assist the Imperial Master in completing the construction of the Star Building!"
Everyone fell to their knees. Everyone knew that this project would consume manpower and material resources, but no one came out to oppose it.
Because they all knew the character of the man sitting on the steps. If things did not develop as he expected, he would at least behead that man in public. Not to mention the family behind him.
They all knew in their hearts that the fate of the country was about to end. Since this national master loves to show off so much, let's see how long he can be proud of it.
From the first day he entered the palace, he was granted the title of Imperial Master. But no one came to congratulate him.
He traced something on the paper according to the appearance in his mind. This was the final version of the drawing he finalized.
"Is there any money left in the treasury?"
"I have more than one tael, and I can only lay a good foundation with this money alone." Jun Zhi answered truthfully.
"Then we will increase taxation and change it from two taxes a year to one quarterly. You will be fully responsible for this matter. If you leave it to those in the Ministry of Household Affairs, you don't know how much money they will make from it." The emperor did not care about state affairs at all. They didn't take it seriously. They were just fishing for it, so turning a blind eye was not harmful.
But now the position under his butt may soon belong to someone else. If anyone is really so careless about hitting the muzzle of a gun, don't blame him for being ruthless.
The emperor sighed, "It's great to be young. I remember when I was about the same age as you, I was also a high-spirited young man. I originally wanted to live my life as an idle cloud and wild crane, but I had no intention of royal disputes, but I was innocently involved."
"If I don't kill others, then my mother and I will definitely die by others' swords. I have been criticized for most of my life because of my brother's quarrel, and I am used to it."
The emperor arranged his clothes and got on the sedan chair outside the door, leaving Jun Zhi alone.
"The Emperor didn't even consider where we would get the money!"
"Keep your voice down! If someone hears it and I sue you, will you die?" Another person who was talking to the vendor kicked him in the butt.
Saying this, he calmed down a little and spoke in a softer voice, "What kind of bullshit Imperial Master is that? It's just some bad ideas!"
The other person nodded, "I heard it was the disabled person from the Jun family before."
"If the Jun family didn't offend the emperor because of their surname, why are they still alive?"
"After all, the Jun family has made great contributions to the country. It's just a single child in the family, and it's still a cripple. What's the use of having a little money?" He smiled disdainfully, but the people behind him heard it clearly.
He half-closed his eyes. He hadn't heard anything about him from the outside world for a long time, but he still found it quite interesting.
"Since they are so free, let's pick them to build the Star Building."
"take away!"
The accompanying soldiers naturally knew that their words had offended the gentleman, and they would probably not encounter any good things.
"Sir! What happened to us!"
"We are all honest people who do our duty!"
"How brave you are to talk about the Imperial Master behind your back!" The soldier was afraid that Jun Zhi would not feel relieved enough, so he picked up the whip coiled around his waist and waved it, intending to hit them in the next second.
"stop."
Jun Zhi stopped the soldier and said, "You are honest, so come and supervise the work. You don't have to do physical work."
As if they didn't hear clearly, the two shook each other and slapped each other, "Supervisor?"
"Master Imperial Master, you're not making fun of the ordinary people, are you?"
"What? Not willing? Then..."
"Yes, yes!" Their heads shook up and down like garlic.
Later, Jun Zhi really asked them to supervise the work. The two of them were just small vendors, and they were not even worthy of the word merchant. They suddenly had rights and were very proud.
A month has passed, but the enthusiasm of the people who collected it has faded, and the people are miserable and passive in their work. So much so that almost the entire city was used to build the Star Reaching Tower, but the foundation was still in a state of being laid.
The emperor was very dissatisfied when he found out.
One month has passed, and the enemy who is already ready to make a move will not give him another month.
So he went around in person.
"Ahem." The dust rolling up from the side choked the emperor. He kept waving his hands up and down, hoping to use his robes to brush away all the dust.
"Your Majesty, you are a rich man, so you don't need to come all the way here." The father-in-law next to him flattered and handed over a handkerchief to wipe the emperor's face.
The emperor on the side glanced at him. If he didn't come, he didn't know how the group of people below would fool him.
"Everyone, please hurry up!" The two supervisors kept urging and sometimes even went up to help.
But everyone still had no enthusiasm and walked slowly. In the bamboo basket behind them, only stars could be seen covering the bottom of the stones.
At first I said I was looking for a miracle, but are there really gods? In fact, many people are skeptical in their hearts, but they just don't say it out loud.
"Your Majesty." Jun Zhi addressed the emperor.
"Get up, I'm just here to take a look." See how you deal with me. Even if he is not sure that Jun Zhi can't complete this task, he still won't break out.
"Everyone, hurry up!"
"Now that you've become overseers, you've turned your back on me, right? Bah! Don't use chicken feathers as arrows." A man over fifty years old spat at the two overseers.
Immediately afterwards, the whip on the waist of one of them was snatched away.
The next second, the whip fell on the man's body, and his skin and flesh were torn apart in an instant.
His back was soaked with blood, and the clothes on his back were torn.
"What are your names?"
Jun Zhi introduced them to them, "This is His Majesty the Emperor."
Everyone knelt on the ground with a thump, including the man who had just been beaten and still looked unconvinced. Now his face was filled with only fear and fear.
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
"I ask, what are your two names?"
They looked at each other, and one of them spoke boldly, "Common man Zhang De, I bow to Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"
"Long live the common man Li Mao, long live my emperor!"
"It turns out that my Star Building has never been able to be built because of the existence of you two."
The two lowered their heads in fear.
Chen Qing threw down the whip in his hand, "You are kind to others, but has anyone ever considered you? Those who disobey will be whipped, and those who cause trouble will be killed."
"I should see it already completed when I come next time. If it's not finished by then, I'll come back and see you."
"yes!"
