The First Marquis of Daxuan

Chapter 272: Money Making (Please subscribe, please bookmark, please vote for the monthly ticket)
"Do you see clearly?"

Su Mu and Dongfang Liuyun were standing on the street. The Demon Court team had already headed towards the Bailu Academy in Songjiang Prefecture.

Receiving the monsters from the Demon Court as students is the job of Zhu Jiuyuan and Lu Mingyang.

"There is it."

Dongfang Liuyun nodded and said in a deep voice.

The two of them spoke incoherently. Apart from the two of them, even if others heard it, they would have no idea what they were talking about.

Su Mu was asking whether there were any monsters from the Demon Court involved in the disaster that destroyed Songjiang Prefecture when Dongfang Liuyun glimpsed the secrets of heaven.

Dongfang Liuyun gave a positive answer.

Bao Lingyun, the Thirteenth Prince of the Demon Court, was indeed involved!

Su Mu brought Dongfang Liuyun to block the road this time in order to confirm this point.

"It provoked you so much, I thought you were going to attack me."

Dongfang Liuyun whispered.

Previously, Mo Xuesong from the Beast Taming Sect brought a fourth-level monster pet into the city, and Su Mu acted without hesitation.

The Thirteenth Prince of the Demon Court, Bao Lingyun, was much more arrogant than Mo Xuesong had been.

Dongfang Liuyun thought Su Mu would take action on the spot.

He was ready to earn some more merit.

"We have to give the court some face."

Su Mu said calmly, "This is one of the conditions for peace talks. We can't let the monsters from the Demon Court die on the first day they arrive.

You still have to have a big picture view.”

The big picture?
Dongfang Liuyun complained in his heart, do you have that thing?

He had carefully studied Su Mu's past experiences. When he killed people, he never considered the overall situation.

But on second thought, it seemed that his killings had never caused any serious consequences.

Could it be that although Su Mu seems reckless, he actually has a sense of the overall situation?
Dongfang Liuyun felt more and more that he couldn't understand Su Mu.

"Now that it's confirmed, what are you going to do?"

Dongfang Liuyun thought for a moment and asked in a low voice, "I think the Thirteenth Prince of the Demon Court is quite powerful. If we want to kill him quietly, it may not be possible even if you and I act at the same time."

With their strength, it is easy to kill each other, but it is difficult to do so without causing a big noise.

But now, after all, Daxuan and Yaoting have reached a peace agreement. If there is a big commotion, it will definitely affect the diplomatic relations between the two sides.

"I see something unusual in it."

Dongfang Liuyun continued, "I suspect that it is very likely that it has also comprehended the vision."

The Thirteenth Prince of the Demon Court, Bao Lingyun, was only a third-level demon, but he comprehended the strange vision. His talent and understanding were comparable to the geniuses of the contemporary human race.

In fact, if he fights alone, Dongfang Liuyun doesn't have much chance of winning.

It is almost impossible to kill such a monster in the city without causing a big noise.

What's more, Bao Lingyun is guarded by a fourth-level monster.

"The assassin from Jinfeng Tower killed it once."

Su Mu said lightly.

He was also shocked when he saw Bao Lingyun again.

He had killed Bao Lingyun with his own hands.

However, many monsters have innate magical powers, so it is not unacceptable that Bao Lingyun can come back to life.

If Su Mu can kill it once, he can kill it a second time.

"Have the assassins from the Golden Wind Tower kill it? Why spend that much money?"

Dongfang Liuyun muttered, "It would be better to give me the silver..."

Tianxia Sect cannot compare to the wealthy sects like Shenbing Pavilion and Shennong Baicao Sect. Dongfang Liuyun has been a poor child since childhood.

Only those who have lived a hard life know the importance of money.

In this regard, he and Su Mu share the same suffering.

"You will soon be a fifth-rank Taiping lieutenant, and your salary will be quite high."

Su Mu said.

"Who would complain about having too much silver?"

Dongfang Liuyun said confidently.

"Let's go, go back."

Su Mu did not dwell on this topic. Bao Lingyun must be killed, but before killing it, he had to let it play with its remaining energy first.

…………

Bailu Academy in Songjiang Prefecture.

Bao Lingyun, Niu Zhong, Tushan Hanyu, Lu Hu and other monsters looked at each other in bewilderment.

Even the people from the Taiping Division who escorted them here were stunned.

"Collect money?"

Bao Lingyun stared with a pair of devilish eyes and said with a feeling of disbelief.

"You guys charge for accommodation here?"

Since entering the customs, they have never had to worry about food and accommodation along the way.

The people in the Taiping Division were worried that the animals would eat people, but they took very good care of them.

They never considered that they would have to spend money after arriving at Bailu Academy in Songjiang Prefecture.

“Doesn’t the Thirteenth Prince think that the Academy is a place of charity?
Even if you are a student of Daxuan, you still need to pay tuition to study in the academy."

Lu Mingyang said calmly, "Of course, since you are foreigners, the tuition fee will be waived.

My country of Daxuan etiquette is a gift to you.

However, the peace treaty only allows you to study at Daxuan, but does not mention providing food and accommodation."

"If the Thirteenth Prince is really short of money, there is a solution. We also have free accommodation at the Bailu Academy in Songjiang Prefecture."

Lu Mingyang clapped his hands.

Immediately, several people dressed as servants brought up a huge sand table.

That sand table was exactly what the entire Bailu Academy in Songjiang Prefecture looked like.

Lu Mingyang took a wooden stick handed to him by the servant and pointed casually at a place on the sand table.

"This is a free place to stay, with bunk beds, self-service hygiene, cool in winter and warm in summer, and ventilation on all sides, which is suitable for you.

Don’t you monsters just like to eat raw meat and drink blood, and sleep in the open air?”

Lu Mingyang said lightly.

The faces of all the monsters sank.

They are all the elites of the Demon Court because they can come to Daxuan to study, especially in Daxuan culture and human language, they are all the best in the Demon Court.

How could they not understand Lu Mingyang's sarcasm?

The free residence on the sand table was basically a shed without even a wall. It was located right at the foot of the mountain, and everyone entering and leaving the Bailu Academy in Songjiang Prefecture could pass by there.

If they lived somewhere else, wouldn't they become a joke with people visiting them for free?
Besides, he was the Thirteenth Prince of the Demon Court, and he had to share a bed with a group of monsters. He had never suffered such hardship in the Demon Court!
"How much is the fee for accommodation?"

Bao Lingyun suppressed the anger in his heart and said coldly.

Before coming to Daxuan, the national teacher gave them a sum of money. It was not because Liang Jinglue thought that the Bailu Academy in Songjiang Prefecture would make things difficult for them, but he wanted to use the money to bribe humans and purchase Daxuan's martial arts techniques, craftsmanship, etc.

"These paid accommodations are also divided into different levels."

Lu Mingyang raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "Little guy, if I don't squeeze you dry, all the time I, Lu Mingyang, have spent studying in vain."

"The lowest-class accommodation, a room for six, costs one hundred taels of silver per year.

Secondly, for a room for four people, three hundred taels per year.

There are two rooms above that, which cost eight hundred taels per year.

Of course, we also have single rooms in Bailu Academy in Songjiang Prefecture, but they are more expensive, at one thousand five hundred taels.

All of the above require you to take care of the hygiene of your residence yourself.

We have also prepared luxury suites specifically for our most distinguished students.”

Lu Mingyang showed his eloquence, pointing at the sand table with the branch in his hand. He was the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture, but he was working as a real estate salesman, and he was working very hard.

"A distinguished and luxurious suite with its own door and yard, equipped with two servants. You don't need to worry about anything."

Lu Mingyang pointed to the best seat in the Bailu Academy in Songjiang Prefecture and said, "You just need to focus all your attention on studying.

Moreover, the view here is excellent. Sitting on the mountain and looking at the river, you can appreciate the prosperity of Songjiang Prefecture.

It only costs 10,000 taels of silver every year, which is great value for money.

And there are only twenty of these luxury suites.”

Lu Mingyang looked at Bao Lingyun with a smile on his face.

The price reported to the monsters in the Demon Court is completely different from the price reported to the Great Xuan people.

"Ten thousand taels?"

Bao Lingyun frowned slightly.

Given its status, it cannot accept living in those inferior rooms.

No matter what others do, Bao Lingyun must live in this most prestigious suite.

Looking at the scaled-down residence and exquisite architecture on the sand table, Bao Lingyun felt that ten thousand taels was not expensive.

"I live!"

It hesitated for just a moment and immediately made the decision.

"Okay, pay the money."

Lu Mingyang called over his clerk and said with a smile.

"You can choose where you want to live and pay for it yourself."

Bao Lingyun turned and looked at Tushan Hanyu and others.

There are also different races and factions within the Demon Court.

It only cares about itself and not others.

Tushan Hanyu's eyes flickered for a moment, and she said slowly, "I'll live in a suite, too."

The other monsters also made their choices.

Those who had money all chose suites.

Only Lu Hu chose an ordinary single room.

It’s not that it doesn’t want to live in a suite, it just can’t afford it.

Others are either princes or disciples of the imperial teacher, but it is just an ordinary demon detective with no status or background in the demon court.

"By the way, at the foot of the Bailu Academy in Songjiang Prefecture is a commercial district. If you need to buy anything you need for daily life, you can go there. If you want to go to other places in the city, you need someone to follow you. Otherwise, you are not allowed to move around freely. You need to remember this.

Otherwise, the Taiping Division will kill you in the streets, and I will be helpless.

Fortunately, Songjiang Prefecture's Bailu Academy has everything you need, and you can solve all your problems without leaving the academy."

Lu Mingyang smiled and said to the monsters.

After saying that, Lu Mingyang asked someone to take the monsters to check in.

"Sir, these monsters in the Demon Court have paid a total of 270,000 taels of silver."

The clerk in charge of collecting the money came to Lu Mingyang and said excitedly.

Looking at the backs of the monsters walking away, he whispered, "These monsters are really stupid and have a lot of money."

"It's mainly because of Su Zhenfu's fantastic ideas."

Lu Mingyang sighed and said that he and his teacher had never thought that they could make money in the academy.

Only someone like Su Mu, who is not bound by rules, could come up with such a good plan.

With just this amount, Daxuan has already earned back the annual tribute that he paid to the Demon Court.

Although the monsters in the Demon Court have begun to learn the Daxuan culture, they still need to learn the concept of silver.

"According to the plan, we must let these monsters enjoy the most luxurious life in the Bailu Academy in Songjiang Prefecture. We must make them feel that if they don't spend a few hundred taels of silver every day, the day will be wasted."

Lu Mingyang said slowly.

"Yes!"

Everyone spoke up, excitement showing on their faces.

"Leave part of the silver in the Bailu Academy in Songjiang Prefecture as operating expenses. Half of the rest will be deposited in the treasury, and the other half will be sent to the Taiping Division."

Lu Mingyang said thoughtfully.

…………

"One hundred thousand taels of silver?"

Inside the Taiping Division Office of Songjiang Prefecture, Dongfang Liuyun almost drooled at the sight of all that white silver.

When he was in Tianxia Sect, had he ever seen so much silver?
Although Tianxia Sect is also a well-known sect in the world, the elders in the sect are not good at running the sect. In addition, practicing martial arts is extremely expensive, so the sect lives a very tight life.

If he had known that the imperial court was so rich, he would have joined the Taiping Division long ago.

However, if the world had not changed, the Taiping Division might not have agreed to his joining.

"Were these all obtained from the monsters in the Demon Court?"

Dongfang Liuyun couldn't help but speak.

Is it so easy to make money?
I heard before that Daxuan had lost its sovereignty and humiliated the country, and had to pay annual tribute to the Demon Court.

Now it seems that hundreds of thousands of two-year-old coins are nothing.

"How can you say pit?"

Xiang Xiaoyuan said seriously, "This is the accommodation fee they paid willingly.

Doesn’t it cost any money to build Bailu Academy in Songjiang Prefecture?
Don't you need to pay for all these chores?"

"Then why should the silver be sent to the Taiping Division? Shouldn't it be kept in the White Deer Academy?"

Dongfang Liuyun asked curiously.

"Because this set of models was designed by the Lord for Songjiang Mansion and Bailu Academy."

Shi Ziran glanced at Su Mu, and seeing that Su Mu had no objection, he spoke.

"So, these are all given to you by Songjiang Mansion as personal gifts? We don't have any of them?"

Dongfang Liuyun said with some disappointment.

"That's not true."

Su Mu smiled and said, “Emptying the wallets of the monsters in the Demon Court is not something I can do alone, everyone has contributed.

Uncle Shi, please share the silver.

Give more to the brothers who were injured while out of town."

When Dongfang Liuyun heard this, he immediately smiled.

I just joined the Taiping Division not long ago and I immediately got some money to share. The Taiping Division is such a great place.

Dongfang Liuyun felt that he had come too late!
Shi Ziran and the others looked calm.

One hundred thousand taels of silver is not a small amount, but it is not much either.

Su Mu could make the money back by simply forging a few weapons.

Tiangong Pavilion is now open for business with a half-day operation, and it can earn tens of thousands of taels of silver every month.

"The monsters in the Monster Court paid the accommodation fee so easily. It seems that they are richer than I thought."

Su Mu tapped his fingers on the table, a thoughtful look on his face, "It seems that I can make a lot of money from them."

"What do you want to do? I'll help you!"

Dongfang Liuyun said without hesitation, with an eager expression on his face.

"Tell me, if you were a monster in the Monster Court, what would you be most reluctant to refuse?"

Su Mu asked.

"this--"

Dongfang Liuyun was stunned for a moment. This question really stumped him. He was not a monster, so how could he know what a monster was thinking?
"How much do you think they would be willing to pay for a weapon that is tailor-made for them and looks high-end and classy?"

Su Mu spoke slowly.
