Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!-Chapter 398 - 299: Miao Zi Awakens, The Taoist’s ’Frenzy’ in the Imperial Capital_3

"Secondly, we establish a silver business, with the Prince acting as guarantor on behalf of the Crown Prince’s credibility, promising high interest. One million Saber Coins deposited in the silver account would become one million one hundred thousand the following year. Of course, this is just off the top of my head; the interest rate is ultimately for Your Highness to decide."

"How can we gain people’s trust and make them believe they will be paid back next year?" Prince Wang Ba furrowed his brows and asked once more.

"Your Highness is truly wise, seizing the core of the problem at once. However, I already have a strategy. You merely need to proclaim that you have discovered a large vein of Yin Iron Ore somewhere, and that you need to increase investment for its development, all profits arising from this."

"At that time, it won’t be Your Highness begging them to hand over their Saber Coins; instead, they will be crying and screaming, begging to give their Saber Coins to Your Highness."

"Those who secretly trip up Your Highness, and those who support your other brothers, will all switch allegiance to Your Highness."

"Those who can be won over, entertain them, behead them, take them as dogs!"

"As for the unyieldingly foolish ones, kill them!"

"As long as there’s a continuous stream of people putting their Saber Coins in Your Highness’s hands, the silver business can keep operating."

"Moreover, Your Highness, I have another strategy called ’Nine out, Thirteen back.’ "

.....

"This is a matter of great importance; allow me to think it over." Prince Wang Ba’s brows knit together, his expression changing unpredictably.

"Your Highness, the clouds are dark over the city, and the situation is as precarious as a pile of eggs. Let’s stop hesitating and take action!"

"In this world, a man either achieves greatness or suffers a crushing defeat!"

"With endless Saber Coins, Your Highness, your future is boundless. Some things need to be fought for, not given in charity."

Yi Chen spoke decisively, but as he did, his gaze was directed towards the Rakshasa King’s palace, as if hinting at something.

"What the King worries about is not this, but rather, Mr. Yi, what exactly do you want?"

"I dare to act only when I know Mr. Yi’s price," Prince Wang Ba said as he straightened up, his gaze piercingly fixed on Yi Chen’s face, trying in vain to discern his true intentions.

"Your Highness thinks too poorly of me. What I want is nothing more than to govern the world and shepherd the masses on behalf of Your Highness."

"I am but a countryman who has stumbled into wealth, possessing a little money, barely qualifying as a rich merchant.

"Of course, being a rich merchant isn’t bad, but serving Your Highness offers a much broader scope than just a small town or prefecture," Yi Chen said, meeting Prince Wang Ba’s eyes without evasion, with a look that said the sky holds no second sun, only you shine in my heart.

The identity he currently assumed, Mr. Yi, was that of a real person, not a tree without roots. This was a small rich merchant he had met on his way to the Imperial Capital, one who wanted to ’try his luck’ there. Midway, while enjoying hotpot and singing songs, Yi Chen had lured him to a secluded place and conveniently slaughtered him.

"Excellent! Mr. Yi agrees with me like a fish to water."

"I have wandered half my life lamenting the absence of a wise lord. If Your Highness does not disdain me, I am willing to pledge allegiance and serve you as my lord," Yi Chen immediately showed an ’excited’ color, looking to bow down before Prince Wang Ba, but was propped up midway by two plump pig trotters.

"Wouldn’t it be better for the gentleman to stay within my mansion? Do you have any other requests at the moment?" Prince Wang Ba’s face showed full delight, but his words firmly indicated that Yi Chen must stay within his mansion, leaving no room for debate, clearly still wary.

"To be frank with Your Highness, as a newcomer, I was tricked by a bastard with a rat’s head and a duck’s body. He took my money but deliberately set me on the wrong path. I want to kill this man; I ask for Your Highness’s permission!" Yi Chen immediately declared with hate in his voice.

Dammit, it was his first time being cheated like this. Looking back, Yi Chen felt he had been foolish. This man, he must not be allowed to live.

"Ha-ha! To think that even someone as wise as you could suffer such a setback. I shall immediately dispatch men to investigate. Since he has offended you, killing just one would be letting him off too easily. Let’s execute his entire family to the third degree."

Unexpectedly for Yi Chen, upon hearing news of his deception, Prince Wang Ba’s wariness towards him significantly reduced, his eyes suddenly showing a sincere touch of affection,

The numerous strategies he had offered earlier were too ingenious, all of them insights from an era ahead, so clever as to seem otherworldly. Only now did Prince Wang Ba feel like Mr. Yi before him had come to life.

After being led away, thunderous laughter erupted in Prince Wang Ba’s study.

"Ha-ha! Destiny favors me, destiny favors me!"

"Such great wisdom exists in the countryside!"
