Chapter 36: Human heart

Early in the morning, on the streets of the Imperial City, he was awakened by the sound of horseshoes.
I saw many horse-drawn carriages driving through the long street, and the accompanying people were all black-clad guards of the Yan Palace, all with solemn expressions, as if they were escorting some treasure.
Some people who had gotten up early saw this and were immediately surprised. King Yan's Mansion is usually very low-key. It is neither as powerful as other palaces, nor like aristocratic families. Children often show up, which can be said to be the least visible. The reputation of the palace.
But everyone could recognize the iconic black costume, and at this time he couldn't help but muttered, "What kind of famous Yan Palace is this?"
Soon, those carriages disappeared at the end of the long street and each drove towards their destination.
Some cleverly reacted immediately, and suddenly said, "Is this going to my store?"
"No way?"
"Such a big battle, is it because all the shops under the name of King Yan Mansion are restocking?"
Everyone on the long street couldn't help but guess.
There are many industries under the name of each palace, but it is rare to see such a large-scale operation, even if it is replenishment, it is extremely hidden, and it is impossible to cause such a big battle.
A few curious people followed unhurriedly in the direction where the carriages left.
When I arrived at the nearest shop, I saw a carriage parked in front of the door. Two guards instructed the men to carry the items out of the car, and one after another large boxes were sent to the shop. Everyone was puzzled and couldn’t guess. What did King Yan's Mansion do this time?
The same situation is constantly playing out in every corner of the imperial capital.
As long as it is an industry under the name of the Yan Palace, there is a carriage parked in front of the door, making people very curious about what is in the box.
At this moment, Tan Long stood behind Lu Li in King Yan’s Mansion. Seeing him constantly flipping through the inventory accounts of various shops, he was puzzled: "Master Lu, those jade can be transported by storage props, so why must Send someone to use the box to pull it over?"
Lu Li lowered his gaze, flipped through the accounts, and said with a smile: "This saves small things, but it breaks big things."
"Uh……"
Tan Long choked, but now he was quite convinced of Lu Li. Knowing that this young boss had a lot of tricks, he immediately said humbly, "My lord, please?"
Lu Li stopped his hands, raised his head, and looked at Tan Long without saying a word.
Until Tan Long was a little embarrassed, Lu Li asked, "Do you remember why we went to the Wanshitang to build momentum before?"
Speaking of Wanshitang, although Shi Yan accompanied him that time, Tan Long obviously understood the significance of Lu Li's doing this better than Shi Yan's piece of wood.
He immediately woke up and said with a bit of temptation: "Master Lu meant that after the publicity in Wanshitang, we still need to make things bigger?"
"It's fine if you know it." Lu Li smiled: "The rumors spread before only aroused the curiosity of others. Now is the time to pick the fruit."
"The reputation of Zhen Guojin has already started. Today I want to let everyone in this city know that this kind of thing is the work of King Yan Mansion. If you want to buy Zhen Guojin, you can only buy properties under the name of King Yan Mansion!"
After all, Lu Li closed the accounts and continued: "After rushing to make the jade slips overnight, 100,000 copies of the jade slips have been produced. In the shops, each store can only distribute less than a thousand, which is far from enough. ."
"One hundred thousand copies is not enough?" Tan Long said in shock: "We set a price of 20 yuan for each town state gold. Although we can only make half of the value of the jade slip itself, but... this profit is already a lot. That's it."
He didn't know the details of Zhen Guojin, or even if he knew some, he didn't understand it in depth. I always feel that every jade slip can make a profit of ten coins, and if one hundred thousand copies are sold, it will be a million profit, which is too amazing.
But he didn't expect that Lu Li was not satisfied with this kind of income at all, and wanted to continue to make up for it?
Of course, if you let him know that if it weren't for certain restrictions in this world, Lu Li originally planned to save the investment of Yujian, and every sale of Zhen Guojin would be a net profit! If one hundred thousand copies are really sold out, two million will be received, which will directly solve the urgent need for disaster relief funds.
However, Lu Li would not tell Tan Long this kind of remarks, but said deeply, "Don't look too shallow, let alone underestimate the greed of people's hearts."
"If you only spend 20 coins, you have a chance to get a seventh-rank exercise. Even if you know that the chance is small, would you try it?"
Hearing Lu Li's rhetorical question, Tan Long stayed there for a moment, and then said in horror: "My lord...you...are you?"
Lu Li smiled without speaking.
Tan Long broke out in a cold sweat. Originally, Zhen Guojin's first-class reward was priced at 5 million coins, which had already made him feel very emboldened. Now Lu Li wants to add another Seven-Rank exercise?
If someone really hits it, no matter how strong the family of the Yan Palace is, I'm afraid I can't help spending such a lot of money!
Thinking of this, Tan Long hurriedly said: "My lord, think twice! Once the wind of this seventh-grade exercise is released, we...what shall we pay for?"
Lu Li glanced at him strangely, "Who said you really want to use the seventh-grade technique?"
"Then your lord..." Tan Long was shocked, then his face became paler, "sir, what do you mean... is this to spread false news?"
"The news is naturally true, but can someone use this technique? I'm the one who has the final say?" Lu Li smiled and comforted: "If it weren't for fear of your Highness getting angry, I originally wanted to release the news of the Nine-Rank Heavenly Power ."
When he left the library last night and returned to his yard intending to integrate the exercises, he suddenly thought that this is a world where martial arts can communicate with the gods. Things like money can only be attractive to ordinary people, but they are not for those who cultivate. In other words, the most important thing besides cultivation resources is obviously a top-notch exercise!
So he immediately ran to find Ge Xinyue and talked about his thoughts, and then Ge Xinyue asked Mu Hongsiu for instructions with a strange face. And Mu Hongxiu also had a strange expression on his face, and finally spit out the word liar, giving him the power to let go.
However, Lu Li originally wanted to release the news of the Nine-Rank Heavenly Art. After all, this kind of pie naturally had to be painted as big as possible. But when he learned that the Royal Family Town State Cultivation Method was only a lower-rank eighth-rank, he dispelled this idea.
But the Seven-Rank Cultivation Technique is enough to make people crazy.
Even if it is a billionth of hope, there must be a lot of people willing to try.
Just like the people who bought the lottery crazy and paid the ‘IQ tax’ in the previous life.
Who said that only ordinary people have a fluke mentality? As long as the direction is right, even a cultivator will be fooled!
Seeing Tan Long's appearance in both fear and admiration, Lu Li smiled like a fox and said softly, "Human heart, it's so easy to guess."
