“What is he doing here?”
The Hall Master of Blood Refinement surnamed Lu was stunned.
But before he could react, Sun Gui had already stood up to greet him, offering tea to the 'big boss' with a fawning smile.
“My God of Wealth, what brings you here?”
“Family matters, state affairs, world affairs, of course I have to help out.”
Li Mo took the tea and took a sip.
What else could he be here for? Of course, to invest!
A grand event organized by the Great Yu Dynasty, how much feedback would an investment yield?
And strangely enough, many of the buhua juese on the Baihua List knew him.
“Ah? Then our Hengtong Merchant House won't get involved. If you need anything, just say the word, Li Laodi. We don't have money, but we can still help with people.”
Sun Gui decisively gave up.
Li Mo smiled and said to him, “Then I’ll trouble Shopkeeper Sun. There really are places where I need your help.”
At the scene, the rich merchants had never seen such a sight.
Xiao Li is now a household name in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
But everyone's perception of him was limited to a heaven-blessed genius, a young Prodigy, and someone who was genuinely good for his wife... What did Sun Gui mean by calling him the God of Wealth?
Soon they would know what he meant... “Ahem, everyone, hosting the Hundred Flowers Gathering is a major national event. Naturally, it needs to be lively and prosperous. This is no small sum, so everyone should be mentally prepared.”
“My Jinqian Gang will contribute two million taels of silver!”
“Caishen Money House, three million taels, and we will cover all the necessary items for the gathering!”
“The Qingmu Association will provide ten bottles of seven-pattern Spirit Pills, and several Fairies who were unwilling to participate in the gathering are also willing to come and perform as a favor to our Qingmu Association.”
“Hengtong Merchant House, um... we'll listen to Li Laodi.”
Sun Gui was playing with his sunglasses, quite pleased.
Hearing this, everyone didn't know what the Hengtong Merchant House was up to and looked at the young man beside Sun Gui.
Representative Lu held his tea, looking at the stage.
The right to host the gathering must be firmly held in hand, otherwise, many troubles would arise.
No matter how much the other party offered later, he would... Li Mo seriously held up two fingers, making a V sign.
“What does Li Shaoxia mean by this?”
The Minister of Rites had just confirmed with Representative Lu; it was a pre-determined person.
No matter how much Li Mo offered, he could still... “Double it.”
“Hmm? Double whose?”
“The three of them combined.”
“...How much?”
This unique 'bidding session' concluded unexpectedly quickly.
A group of merchants, usually considered as rich as a nation or lords of a region, emerged somewhat dazed, never having imagined in their lives that they could be overwhelmed by money.
Double it, and double the sum of three parties—such unfamiliar and cold words.
Of course, it wasn't just them who were numb; it was also the Hall Master of Blood Refinement and Qingmu Association representative, Lu Ziqing.
When Li Mo's mountain of gold landed, he knew that even with his connection to the Minister of Rites, it was beyond salvation.
The other party simply gave too much.
Damn it, whose family uses 'mountains' as a unit for gold!
Aren't you afraid that gold will become worthless?
...In the evening, the Buyun Tower by the Jinghe River was brightly lit.
Logically, after the Qianlong Assembly ended, it should have been much quieter here, with the Dragons of Hidden Potential who participated in the assembly returning to their homes and mothers.
But now, it was still unusually lively.
“Hey, Brother Bai, Brother Cao, Brother Wu, weren't you going back to Yunzhou?”
Xiao Qin was stunned to see the Sword City swordsmen returning.
“I suddenly feel that Dijin has many beautiful sights that I haven't seen yet, and it would be too regrettable to leave.”
Wu Chushu said, with his hands behind his back.
Bai Jinghong clicked his tongue, quite speechless at him. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Cao Mu shook his head, “We were about to leave the city, but who knew that as soon as we reached the gate, Wu Chushu saw the notice on the city gate and refused to leave.”
“What notice?”
“The Hundred Flowers Gathering.”
“Eh? Then I'm not leaving either.”
Murong Xiao silently put down his luggage, feeling that his soft spot had not been trained enough.
Of course, he wasn't alone.
Upon hearing the news of the Hundred Flowers Gathering, young heroes who were preparing to leave Dijin gradually turned back, silently returning to their seats.
At this moment, Li Mo returned, bringing Zhong Zhenyue with him.
He seemed to be in a bad mood.
Sitting at the table, he drank several gulps of tea, but still couldn't figure it out.
He invested in the Great Yu Dynasty and the Hundred Flowers Gathering, right?
Why did the System's investment feedback say... 【Congratulations, Host, you have successfully invested in Minister of Rites Song Baiyue...】
【Congratulations, Host, you have successfully invested in the Vice Minister of Rites...】
【Congratulations, Host, you have successfully invested in the Minister of Revenue...】
Why were all the names in front of the investment feedback those of the high-ranking officials from the scene just now?
This question had kept Xiao Li silent until now.
It seemed that relying on those high-ranking officials to get things done was not very reliable, but he had already taken on the burden of the gathering... It still had to be his own people to feel at ease.
“Brother Li, you just got back. Why don't we not return to Ziyang Prefecture for now?”
Xiao Qin's face was full of helplessness.
He didn't care much, but his teacher kept nagging him.
Li ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) Mo nodded, “Yes, not going back for now. There's also the Hundred Flowers Gathering.”
“Hehe, Brother Li... you already have Han Xianzi at home, and you're still thinking about the gathering?” Wu Chushu's gaze was like looking at a heartless scumbag.
“You've misunderstood.”
“Hmm? Then you're staying because...”
“I'm the investor.”
“???”
The table fell silent for a moment.
Instantly, the expressions of several people changed from astonishment to silence, and then from silence to fawning.
So... Brother Li is now the sugar daddy of all the buhua juese?
“Brother Li, you know me.”
“My Wu Chushu is all about loyalty and righteousness! Brother Li, wherever you point, I'll strike!”
“Please, you must let me help!”
“I know you, Old Li, are very good for your wife, but there are hundreds of buhua juese on the Baihua List, and I heard that over eighty of them have gathered in Dijin. Brother Li, you can't eat all that alone!”
Except for Huang Donglai, Xiao Li's friends were all quite enthusiastic.
“Then come on, all of you.”
“Good! Brothers in heart!”
“I'll drink this first! For this alone, Brother Li will always be my adoptive father!”
“Brother Li, we've met as rivals... but from our first meeting, I knew we were kindred spirits, like High Mountain Flowing Water!”
For a time, even other Prodigies on the Qianlong Ranking eagerly signed up.
The scene was too lively.
It even attracted the Imperial Guards patrolling outside.
Only when they saw that Xiao Li merely raised his arm but wasn't wearing an imperial robe did they breathe a sigh of relief.
Damn, they thought he was rebelling.
Seeing everyone's enthusiastic response, Xiao Li's heart also swelled with pride.
“Good, then let's work together to make the Hundred Flowers Gathering a success, make it bigger and stronger, and create new glories!”
“Isn't it just about organizing some buhua juese clearly? I'm super good at that!”
After he finished speaking, he found that it had suddenly become quiet.
The crowd, who had just been enthusiastically responding, was now silent, looking at him with somewhat unnatural expressions.
To be precise, they were looking behind him. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
“Do you need my help?”
