Xia Yi put down the teacup calmly: "I'll pay ten million taels."

Master Di's hand shook, and the brush scratched a stain on the paper.

The other five wealthy businessmen also looked at Xia Yi in surprise.

It's not that they can't take out ten million taels, but once they take it out, it will break their muscles and bones.

"Mr. Xia really gave 10 million taels of silver?" Mr. Di changed a piece of white paper and continued to write.

"No."

After listening to Xia Yi's words, Mr. Di frowned and there was another ink stain on the paper.

He spread out a new piece of paper: "Sir, please don't make such a joke..."

Before he could finish his words, Xia Yi continued:

"I'll pay ten million taels of gold."

With a strong movement of his fingers, the brush in Mr. Di's hand broke at the waist.

He threw the pen aside and looked at Xia Yi seriously: "Really?"

The five wealthy businessmen also looked at Xia Yi in astonishment. Ten million taels of gold is equivalent to ninety million taels of silver. Among them, only the 200-pound fat man could scrape together so much silver with all his net worth.

"I need some time to raise this gold." Xia Yi tapped the empty teacup with her fingers.

The entourage immediately stepped forward and wanted to serve Xia Yiman, but was stopped by Lord Di.

Master Di stood up in person, took the teapot and poured tea for Xia Yi.

"I wonder how long it will take sir to prepare? The court can provide some help."

Collecting ten million taels of gold is definitely not an easy task, but it doesn't matter. With the money from the other five wealthy businessmen, it is enough to defeat a wave of snakes. Xia Yi's gold will go directly to the treasury.

"It might take a while."

"Sir, don't worry, I know." After thinking about it, Lord Di wanted to ask Xia Yi if he could complete the gathering before next year, so that he could fight a wave of wild people outside the Great Wall.

Before he could ask, Xia Yi gave the answer: "It will take about five days."

"Cough cough cough!" The fat man who was drinking tea suddenly choked.

"Only five days?" The person who asked was not Mr. Di, but another wealthy businessman.

They know how difficult it is to raise ten million taels of gold. There is only so much gold and silver circulating in the market, and they cannot gather it in a short time. In other words, the other party probably has so much gold stored somewhere.

Need to sell.

Ten million taels of gold!

The hearts of the five people were trembling.

What was shaking even more fiercely was Master Di's heart.

The emperor was born in a rough place. When he was trying to conquer the world, he was cheated by those wealthy families. During the war, he did not know how valuable gold was. When he ascended the throne, he shed tears for Ku Kong. Even the palace was built on the basis of the previous dynasty.

Ten million taels of gold is enough for the emperor to spend lavishly for two years.

"Then I will wait for the good news from sir." He took a piece of paper and wrote ten million taels on it. When writing the word "gold", he deliberately made the word three sizes smaller.

He knew that Xia Yi was teasing him before, causing him to break two pieces of paper and a pen. Xia Yi was the financial backer, so he couldn't take revenge, but he could find a balance with the emperor.

After folding the paper and stuffing it into his sleeves, Mr. Di said goodbye to the six people, told Xia Yi that he would report to the emperor, discuss rewards, and left in a hurry.

Five wealthy businessmen immediately surrounded Xia Yi. Xia Yi said that the gold was left by her ancestors and escaped back home.

The matter of the title is settled. At least he is a viscount, and he can probably become an earl. The matter of status has been settled.

It's time to move to a new house.

It's a pity that 10 million taels of gold are still short. If only 100 million taels of gold were available, it would be better to buy a duke.

The reason why Xia Yi didn't do this was firstly because 100 million taels was too much and it would have a huge impact on the market and could easily cause bad things. Secondly, the duke had always only had royal blood to sit on, and there was no need for gold.

effect.

Xia Yi started to think about another thing.

How to get out ten million taels of gold?

His "Midas Touch" is to turn other substances into gold. If he can hold on, he can even turn the entire planet into gold.

The premise is that he can hold on.

The substance that turns into gold looks like what it originally looked like after it has changed. It will not change. It would be strange if he took out ten million taels of gold in different shapes.

After thinking about it, he found a way.

He bought a hilltop near the capital, and together with Su Xue, he made a cave, and then used [Midas to Gold] to transform rocks into gold.

Estimating it to be more than ten million taels, he stopped the skill.

[Midas Turning Stone into Gold] consumes mantra power, so based on the consumption of mantra power, he can determine the amount of gold generated.

After returning home and eating and drinking well for five days, he told Master Di the location of the cave.

The emperor, who was shocked five days ago, also went over to take a look. When he saw the cave made of gold, he sighed:

"It's his mother's fault!"

On the sixth day, Xia Yi was summoned, and he donated another 30 million taels of silver to the military and promised to donate continuously for ten years. After that, Xia Yi was titled "Qingyuan Marquis".

The emperor originally named him "Marquis of Jinshan", but Xia Yi thought it was too tacky, so he spent a sum of money on palace maintenance and got a name change card.

After asking the emperor for a big house, Xia Yi returned home. A group of young eunuchs came after him and gave Xia Yi the reward and the imperial edict.

Being granted the title of Marquis is not a trivial matter, and this matter quickly spread to Tanhua Lang's residence.

Qiulan's brother, the young Tanhualang, was worried.

He originally just wanted to send Xia Yi to fish for a captain, but the other party actually fished back a marquis.

He looked at the survey results in his hand and walked back and forth in the lobby anxiously.

If the emperor knew about it, he would probably beat me to death!
