Happy Emperor

I saw that old dog Baturin looked very terrified.

Lin Tian felt secretly happy.

But now is not the time to completely tear each other apart, and Batujin is still in the inner room.

Things can't get to the point where they can't be resolved.

"Master Batu, please get up."

Lin Tian stood up and looked down at Baturin.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Baturin stood up and said respectfully.

Although he was a little annoyed, there was no sign of dissatisfaction on his face.

"It's not that I have to keep holding on to this matter, but the people are so angry that I can't help but feel uncomfortable."

Lin Tian looked at Baturin and spoke earnestly, his words showing how difficult it was for him to be the emperor.

On the one hand, he said this to Baturin, telling him that the money was not enough and he needed more!

The other part was said to Batu Jin in the inner room - I am not a heartless and ungrateful person, you should be "grateful".

"Old minister, I will give you another 500,000 taels to appease the people's grievances!"

Baturin gritted his teeth and paid another 500,000.

He also realized that Emperor Li was trying to blackmail him.

But now he has no way out and can only be slaughtered.

"it is good!"

After hearing this, Lin Tian showed a smile on his face.

Baturin also breathed a sigh of relief. Only paying 500,000 yuan to settle the matter was completely acceptable to him.

Lin Tian spoke again: "But it's not good enough! I thought about it for you before you came. Just give me five million taels."

After hearing this, Baturin was stunned.

This is a big mouth for the lion.

He was about to refuse when he was interrupted by Lin Tian.

"I can guarantee that if Lord Batu is willing to pay this amount of money, none of those people will dare to bring up this matter again."

"Your Majesty, five million taels, right..."

Baturin now wants to kill someone.

This is five million taels, plus the silver for grain compensation, the total loss is ten million taels.

His Batu family has been running a business in Shengjing for so many years, but the total profit does not exceed 20 million.

As soon as Emperor Li opened his mouth, half of it was gone.

Can he not hate it?

"Isn't it a good deal? Hahaha."

Lin Tian laughed and said, "Ji Feng offered 10 million taels at that time, but I didn't agree."

"It's now hanging in the Meridian Gate, 'Sunbathing'. I'm sure Lord Batu saw it when he came."

Threats! Blackmail! Extortion!

The corners of Baturin's mouth kept twitching. He couldn't understand when the Emperor Li in front of him turned into a bandit-like figure.

He also knew very well that if he did not still control the armies of the two provinces.

Emperor Li would never give him a chance to live, and his fate might be worse than Ji Feng's.

"I am willing to pay five million taels to appease the people's grievances."

Baturin finally said through gritted teeth.

In fact, the reason he agreed to this price was not because he really wanted to pay it.

In his opinion, as long as he took over Ningfeng Province, the money would be his sooner or later, and the silver was only temporarily kept in the hands of the tyrant.

"Lord Batu is a man of great wisdom. He is worthy of being the 'right arm' of Daxia!"

"Don't dare, don't dare."

"Let's go. I'll help you out right now and go to Lord Batu's house to get the money back."

Without waiting for Baturin to refuse, Lin Tian grabbed his arm and walked out.

"An Bilie, follow me to make a fortune!"

"Pooh!"

"Follow me to deal with those refugees!"

Baturin: “…”

......

Outside the Batu family mansion.

Tens of thousands of Shengjing residents surrounded the city, making it impossible to get out.

If the soldiers from the Infantry Commander's Office had not been guarding the place, these refugees would have rushed into the mansion and started burning, killing and looting.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

Waves of loud shouts gradually came from the outside.

When the refugees heard that it was the current emperor who was coming, they immediately made way for him.

They all knelt on the ground and shouted "Long live!"

If the current emperor had not backed them up, how could they have dared to surround Batu's residence in such a high-profile manner?

They also knew that Emperor Li had punished the instigator of the incident, his father-in-law Ji Feng, to serve as a warning to others.

They couldn't find such a good emperor even with a lantern.

When Lin Tian saw this scene, he was so excited that he almost stood on the dragon chariot and shouted, "Thank you for your hard work, colleagues."

These people look so cute now.

Without them, how could I have raised such a huge sum of money in such a short time.

"Your Majesty, are you here to give us justice?"

I don’t know who shouted from below.

When all the people heard this, they all echoed and shouted.

For a while, the voices bullied each other.

Lin Tian couldn't shout to tens of thousands of people, so he could only stand on a high place with a smile on his face and wave to greet the people.

After a while, the noise gradually subsided.

Lin Tianming held up the 'big speaker' he had brought, a large vat with a smashed bottom.

He shouted loudly: "People of Shengjing. I am late."

As Lin Tian finished speaking, a team of more than a hundred soldiers stood in a row and repeated it loudly.

"I solemnly promise you that grain prices will return to normal tomorrow. If I can't do this, I'm not worthy of being the emperor."

Have the people ever seen an emperor who cares so much about the people?

After Lin Tian finished shouting these two sentences, they were flattered and moved to tears.

Lin Tian struck while the iron was hot and talked for a long time about the close relationship between the monarch and his subjects. He also talked about how to govern Shengjing in the future to avoid similar incidents.

Just don't mention asking these people to leave Batu's house.

Baturin was listening anxiously below.

The grain has now been transported back to Shengjing, and boxes of silver are being secretly transported from his home to the palace.

He was really afraid that the emperor would abandon him.

After a while, Lin Tian was a little tired of shouting, and then he saw An Bilie rushing back.

"Has all the silver been moved back to the palace?"

Lin Tian whispered a question to An Bilie who had returned.

"Your Majesty, according to your orders, everything has been brought back to the palace."

"Have you ordered? Don't leave any less! This is all my money." Lin Tian asked cautiously.

He didn't care at all how ugly Baturin's face looked.

"I've counted them all. The total amount of gold and silver is five million, no more, no less."

After hearing this, Lin Tian smiled with satisfaction.

He has become a nouveau riche!

I think Heshen’s family didn’t have so much money back then.

"Lord Batu, you are truly the cash king!"

Lin Tian looked at Baturin with a smile.

Although Baturin didn't understand what he meant, he smiled bitterly and nodded in agreement.

All the money in his family's savings had been looted by Emperor Li.

He hated it! He hated himself for not transporting the silver out of Shengjing earlier, so that he wouldn't be used as a wedding dress for others today.

"My people, I have already investigated thoroughly. This matter has nothing to do with Lord Batu. Everything was done by Ji Feng, so..."

When the people heard this, they were skeptical.

But they already knew that they could buy food at a low price tomorrow, and they made a lot of money from it, so no one wanted to investigate the truth of this matter.

Under the organization of the soldiers from the Infantry Commander's Office, within two hours, all the people who surrounded Batu's mansion left one after another.

Lin Tian had already rushed to the palace.

There is a beauty in the South Study, waiting for him.
