After returning to Sorata, Li Huailin suddenly felt that the situation in the city was a little different. The main reason was that Li Huailin's city had a lot of people. Every time he returned to the city, there would be a lot of people bowing and saluting him. However, there weren't many passersby when he exited the teleportation circle. It seemed like most of the nearby shops were closed for business.
After asking the guard beside the teleportation circle, he found out that today was the day of the construction of the Imperial Palace of the Continent Alliance. In order to show the majesty of the Continent's Emperor, Gurt had invited everyone in the city to attend the ceremony. Otherwise, it wouldn't look good if the place was empty.
When Li Huailin arrived at the entrance of his Duke's Mansion, he saw a spectacular scene. In fact, he didn't see anything else other than the mountains and plains. All of them were standing on the construction site. There seemed to be a platform in front of him that looked like a rostrum or something.
As soon as Li Huailin arrived at the entrance of the Duke's Mansion, the guard immediately led Li Huailin to the front of the rostrum. Gurt was very happy to see Li Huailin. He probably thought that Li Huailin wouldn't be able to attend the ceremony. After all, the Imperial Palace was built for the Continent's Emperor. It would be a little awkward if the Continent's Emperor didn't attend the ceremony. He didn't expect Li Huailin to be here.
"Now, let's invite the leader of the Continent Alliance, the great Emperor, Lord Ruolin, to say a few words." When Gurt saw Li Huailin, he immediately said to the people below. Clap! Clap! Clap!
Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Thunderous applause rang out. Indeed, this time, the commoners were applauding Li Huailin from the bottom of their hearts. To them, Li Huailin was simply too great. This was a Lord who could casually take 70% of their taxes. How could they not like him?
Li Huailin walked up to the rostrum in a bad mood. Then, he looked at the group of people below and slammed the table. "Two sentences. First, everyone here will be considered absent for a day. I'll deduct three days of your wages. You'll have to work overtime to make up for the time you've been absent for three days. Secondly, today's opening ceremony ends here. Everyone, get out of here. "
"Clap, clap, clap, clap …" Everyone at the scene was stunned again, and then suddenly there was an even louder applause. Of course, it was not because he could go back, but because he had actually been fined three days of salary and had to work overtime. One had to know that the workers in Li Huailin's territory could barely survive. They worked overtime every day and almost didn't get paid. Now, their wages were deducted and they had to work overtime. Wasn't this not giving them a way out? Is such a lord not worthy of your love? Therefore, although Li Huailin had only said two sentences, it had moved everyone present. Many people shed tears of excitement.
"As expected of our Sir Overlord. Even after ascending to the throne as the continent's Emperor, he is always thinking of squeezing us. This is so touching."
"Yes, as expected of our Sir Overlord. He hasn't changed at all."
The crowd was excited. A group of people spontaneously knelt down and saluted Li Huailin, thanking Li Huailin for punishing them. Li Huailin really did say a few words, and then he pulled Geert off the stage with a confused look on his face.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing now?" Geert snapped back to reality and could not help but say, "Can we not always do this? Will nothing go wrong?"
"Nothing will go wrong, really." Li Huailin said, "I just saw that the loyalty of the people seemed to have dropped a little, so I mentioned it a little. I say, what are you guys doing? Did you give these guys a raise recently? Can you not cause trouble? It is very tiring for me to maintain the loyalty of the people."
"Ha …" Geert was a little confused. In his opinion, Li Huailin was the one who had dropped the loyalty of the people. So why did this group of unruly people listen to him so much? If he had risen up directly, wouldn't it be better? Of course, he did not know that if he were among the commoners, he would definitely be the first to support Li Huailin.
"Okay, let's not talk about this. I have a few things for you to do," Li Huailin said immediately.
"Oh, yes, Your Majesty." Speaking of business, Geert became serious. "Please give me your orders."
"First, find the leaders of our two Chambers of Commerce." Li Huailin said, "The one from De 'an Chamber of Commerce is called Pollitt, right? There is also a Goblin, what's his name again?"
"Your Majesty, that is President Inte of the Serot Chamber of Commerce." Geert, of course, knew who it was and immediately replied.
"Yes, it's this person called Inte." Of course, Li Huailin had really forgotten about it, but he did not care and said, "Find these two presidents."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Geert did not ask why he wanted to find them. After all, this was His Majesty's order, so there was nothing to say. Thus, he immediately found someone to inform the two presidents to meet with Li Huailin.
After waiting in the Duke's Mansion for a while, Li Huailin originally wanted to find Ceci and ask about Vibranium or the Homerster Tribe. After all, Ceci was a walking dictionary that knew everything. However, before he could find Ceci, someone immediately reported that the badge of De 'an Chamber of Commerce, Pollitt, had arrived.
"So fast?" Li Huailin was also surprised. Of course, since Pollitt had arrived, Li Huailin would naturally meet him first.
Sure enough, someone quickly brought Pollitt over. Seeing Li Huailin, Pollitt immediately saluted Li Huailin and said, "Your Majesty, the great Emperor of the Continent, your loyal servant Pollitt pays his respects to you."
"Alright, alright. Flattery is not a popular trend here." Li Huailin also knew that businessmen were generally very eloquent, and Pollitt was also very good at flattery. "I need you to find something now."
"What does Your Majesty need? I will do my best to find it for you," Pollitt immediately said.
"I need a lot of forging materials, and they must be rare and urgent. You must give them to me in three days." Li Huailin first assigned the task of finding supplementary materials.
"Hmm … What type of forging materials does Your Majesty need? Metal ores, magic crystals, or magic beasts …" Pollitt asked seriously.
"All." Li Huailin interrupted Pollitt. "No matter what kind it is, as long as it's rare, send it to me. Remember, it must be delivered within three days. Bring me as rare as you can find, as long as it's forged."
"Yes, Your Majesty. I understand." Pollitt nodded. "This matter is not difficult to solve, but the price of forging materials has generally increased recently …"
"Generally increased?" Li Huailin asked.
"Yes. I heard that a very grand Forging Competition will be held. Although I don't know when it will be, I think it will be soon. Not only are forging materials difficult to buy, but the prices are also very high. The prices of some materials are simply daylight robbery …" Pollitt said.
"I see." Li Huailin nodded. Pollitt was probably referring to the Forging Competition that Montaus was going to participate in. After all, there were more than ten thousand competitors. They must be preparing forging materials, which caused the price of materials to increase.
"What about us? Do we have materials?" Li Huailin asked.
"Erm … Your Majesty, we actually have a very sufficient supply of forging materials. Recently … our Chamber of Commerce has been selling materials to earn a lot of money …" Pollitt said awkwardly.
"Huh?" Li Huailin was stunned.
"No, Your Majesty. Listen to my explanation. If you had told me earlier, I would not have sold them no matter what. However, Your Majesty, you don't have to worry. We have a very sufficient supply. We basically have all the materials we need, and we have all the good ones. I was planning to wait for the price to increase before taking a look. Since Your Majesty needs me to send them over immediately, I will definitely have everything ready in three days, "Pollitt said immediately.
"Oh, I see. That's good." Li Huailin nodded. "By the way, the Forging Competition will start in three days. If you want to make money, don't overstock yourself."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Paulette nodded. Looking at Paulette's confident look, Li Huailin felt that Paulette probably already knew the exact time. After all, there were more than 10,000 participants. It wouldn't be difficult to get the time. All he had to do was throw money at it. Pollitt probably already had a plan on how to sell them, so Li Huailin did not have to worry about anything.
"Alright, you have to settle this matter. In short, I will be very angry if I don't see the materials in three days. You can imagine the consequences," Li Huailin said. "There's one more thing I need you to deal with."
"Please speak, Your Majesty," Pollitt said again.
"I want to find vibranium now. Can you help me find it?" Li Huailin asked.
"Vibranium? Your Majesty wants vibranium?" Pollitt was slightly stunned. "Oh, in that case, I do have a way."
"Huh? You have a way? "Li Huailin was slightly stunned. He did not expect Pollitt to say that he had a way." You can get it? "
"Actually, I think I have it. I remember I collected some last time …" Pollitt said.
"You still have stock?" Li Huailin was really shocked. His subordinates were so powerful?
"But I don't remember where the warehouse is now. I need to check it immediately," Pollitt said.
"Damn, then why aren't you checking it now? I want it now. I want it immediately. Do you understand? "Li Huailin shouted immediately.
"Yes, Your Majesty. No problem, Your Majesty. I will check it now and send it to you immediately." Pollitt immediately retreated.
"Eh? That's a little surprising. Is it really that easy? "Li Huailin was a little in disbelief. The matter was actually resolved so easily?
