Chapter 194.2


    Soon after, Elder Qian Yuan of the Beggar Sect arrived.


    Your Majesty, what are yourmands? Elder Qian was very excited, as he had not left Great Xia since his arrival.


    He believed in seizing the opportunity to shine by staying close to the Emperor.


    Now, his chance had finallye. Blessings from the heavens!


    Elder Qian, youvee! Lin Beifan said with a smile, I have a very important task for you!


    Upon hearing this, Elder Qian became even more excited!


    Important tasks were good!


    The more important the task, the more generous the reward uponpletion!


    Please give your orders, Your Majesty. I am willing to go through fire and water! Elder Qian dered loudly.


    Its not that serious! You just need to use the power of the Beggar Sect to do something in Great Luo! Arent they nning a big production? Call our brothers from the Beggar Sect to go there and lend Great Luo a helping hand


    Elder Qian nodded and immediately set into action.


    Beggars from Great Luo and those from neighboring kingdoms responded to the call.


    The Great Luo Dynasty is starting a big production. Theyre not only providing food but also paying wages, lets go!!!


    Wow, isnt that just like the Great Xia Dynasty?


    Its the same, are you going?


    Werent we originally nning to go to Great Xia?


    Of course we were going to Great Xia! But the word is we can go to Great Luo first, and if it doesnt work out, then we can head to Great Xia!


    Thats okay too. Lets head to Great Luo first!


    And so, a million beggars swarmed towards Great Luo.


    Inside the Great Luo imperial pce, an old minister hurried in, Your Majesty, theres trouble!


    What are you so panicked? The Great Luo Emperor asked with aposed expression.


    Your Majesty, ever since the recruitment edict was issued, over a million beggars have crossed the border, attracted by our reputation. They are now gathering outside the imperial city, but we dont have enough job positions to offer them!


    This is excellent news! The Great Luo Emperorughed heartily.


    Excellent news? The old minister was taken aback.


    What does this mean? It means that our actions have won the peoples hearts, which is why they havee in response to our call. This is the greatest support for Great Luo! So, do not turn them away; ept them all! The Great Luo Emperor dered with a grand gesture.


    But Your Majesty, we might not have enough food


    Dont worry! The autumn harvest is approaching, and there will surely be enough food then!


    And about the wages, our national treasury doesnt have enough silver


    No problem, the construction of concrete houses is about to begin, and we will soon collect the money for the wages!


    But Your Majesty


    The Great Luo Emperor was slightly displeased, Minister, look at the bigger picture and dont focus on the immediate gains and losses! Although there are more people, which means more consumption of food and silver, look at it from another angle: the more people we have, the greater our strength, and the easier it is to get things done! With so many people supporting my cause, Great Luo will surely develop rapidly! We have hope to be an Empire!


    Then, the Great Luo Emperor went up to the top of the imperial city and addressed the million foreigners below with a spirited voice, No matter where youe from, once youre in Great Luo, you are my subjects, and I will not abandon any one of you! I guarantee that everyone will have food to eat and wages to earn!


    His Majesty is wise! the crowd shouted in unison.


    The Great Luo Emperorughed joyfully, Hahaha


    At that moment, Song Yufei arrived, looking down at the million people below with concern, Your Majesty, are you sure this is alright?


    Rest assured, Fairy Yufei!


    The Great Luo Emperor smiled confidently, In the past, Great Xia faced the same situation! Back then, Great Xia Emperor Lin Beifan also epted everyone, which led to the prosperous era we see today! If he could do it, why cant I? Fairy Yufei, just watch, Great Luo is on the rise!


    More and more beggars from other countries arrived at Great Luo.


    Another million, no problem, all were epted.


    Then another million, still no problem, all were epted.


    Yet another million, still epted.


    In short, no one was turned away.


    Great Luos poption kept growing, and in less than a month, over eight million beggars had poured in.


    Both food and silver were being consumed rapidly.


    The Great Luo Emperor could never have imagined that a recruitment edict could attract so many people, even crazier than Great Xia back in the day!


    It was getting overwhelming for him, Alright, lets stop recruiting for now. We have enough! How is the food situation? Can west until the harvest? And what about the treasury


    Your Majesty, although the food consumption is huge, we can definitelyst until the harvest! The biggest problem at the moment is the national treasury; with money going out and noneing in, were spending everywhere, and its getting hard to keep up!


    How is the construction of the concrete houses going? The Great Luo Emperor inquired.


    Your Majesty, we have already built over 2,000 concrete houses, and another 3,000 are under construction


    Good, put them up for sale now to recoup the funds! The Great Luo Emperormanded with a wave of his hand.


    So, the edict to sell the houses was posted.


    Each concrete house was priced at 35 silver taels, one per person, firste first served.


    If one didnt have enough money, installment payments were an option.


    In short, it was just like what Great Xia had done.


    Another day had passed.


    The Great Luo Emperor inquired, How are the sales of the concrete houses?


    Report to Your Majesty, there have been no sales yet, please forgive me!


    The Great Luo Emperor reassured, This situation is quite normal. What crime have youmitted? When the Great Xia first started selling concrete houses, they also didnt sell a single one on the first day! This is because themon people have worked hard to earn their money and are reluctant to spend it, preferring to wait and see. Therefore, you must not be arrogant or impatient and patiently wait for it!


    Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty!


    Another day went by.


    The Great Luo Emperor asked again, How are the sales of the concrete houses?


    Report to Your Majesty, there are still no sales, please forgive me!


    The Great Luo Emperor reassured him once more, This situation is quite normal, and I will not me you! After all, even the cheapest house costs several dozen taels. Themon people need a few days to adjust. Give them a little more time!


    Thank you for Your Majestys understanding!


    The third day passed, and still not a single house was sold.


    However, the Great Luo Emperor remained calm.


    The fourth day passed with still no sales.


    The Great Luo Emperor was still as calm as ever.


    On the fifth and sixth days, no houses were sold, yet the national treasurys silver was rapidly depleting.


    Finally, the Great Luo Emperor could no longer remain calm!
