Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!-Chapter 208 - 206 Closed the Door (Third Update)

After all the palace maids and eunuchs had withdrawn, seeing the questioning look in the young Emperor’s eyes, Lin Yi then chuckled and spoke to the young Emperor:

"The doors have already been closed."

Upon hearing this, the young Emperor was clearly stunned, then looked at Lin Yi with a puzzled face and asked:

"What do you mean ’the doors are closed’? Why close them? Who is making trouble? Is it the Fourth Imperial Uncle or someone else?

Hmph, no matter who it is, if they dare cause trouble on my turf, I will certainly not let them off."

Perhaps the young Emperor wouldn’t have dared to say such a thing before, but now she indeed had the confidence to say it.

No matter what, the young emperor was also holding a significant amount of power in her own hands.

And right now, she had enough men, the only thing lacking was food and Silver.

Once she had Silver, then this troop could be held even more firmly in her own hands.

And according to Lin Yi’s idea, following his earlier advice, once there was money, they could recruit more troops.

By doing so, her current army of tens of thousands could be doubled directly.

By that time, holding hundreds of thousands in her army, she would fear no one’s rebellion.

That’s why, upon hearing Lin Yi’s words, the young Emperor had such a big reaction.

After all, cutting off someone’s financial path is like killing their parents, especially since it concerned the Emperor herself.

For the sake of her great imperial cause, let alone the Fourth Imperial Uncle, whoever stood in her way, she would not easily forgive.

After all, Lin Yi’s return this time was really too sudden, which meant her spies hadn’t had the chance to report the situation on that side yet.

Thus, she did not know the exact situation there now.

Seeing the young Emperor so tense, Lin Yi couldn’t help but chuckle as he walked up to her.

Then, under the watchful eyes of the young Emperor staring at him, he actually reached out and gently pinched the Emperor’s cheek.

If outsiders saw this scene, they would definitely be shocked!

What is this guy doing? He is supposed to be a eunuch, even if he is favored, how could he do such a thing?

Is the Emperor’s cheek something you can pinch just like that?

However, facing such an action, the young Emperor did not bother with him at all.

Instead, she directly brushed aside his mischievous hand and then looked anxiously at Lin Yi, waiting for his response.

Seeing the young lady being teased by him, Lin Yi then chuckled and started explaining:

"Heh heh, everything has already been sold out, why shouldn’t the doors be closed? Or should we leave them open for people to visit?"

After saying this, the previously tense young Emperor was suddenly stunned, then somewhat slow to understand Lin Yi’s meaning:

"What did you say? Everything has been sold out? Do you mean to say that every piece of glazed glass in the store has been sold?"

It’s no wonder she was so shocked; it had only been nearly four hours since the store’s opening.

Selling out all the items in the store within four hours was something she couldn’t even dare to imagine.

After all, what was being sold there was not food, but the incredibly precious glazed glass; it’s no exaggeration to say that the price of each glazed glass, even the cheapest, could be exchanged for a cartload of food.

Although the young Emperor knew that these officials and Princes were very wealthy, he could hardly imagine they were rich to this extent.

After Lin Yi’s explanation, he had no choice but to acknowledge that the expensive glazed glass had indeed all been sold.

Moreover, these officials were even more generous than the young Emperor had imagined.

Of course, although he felt happy about the sales of the glazed glass, he also felt angry at the officials’ extravagance.

What did this represent? It represented that the amount of money these officials embezzled was not a small sum at all.

With so many parasites here, You Country would sooner or later be riddled with holes by them.

"Ha ha, alright, alright, don’t be angry, we will eventually deal with these parasites, but it’s not something that can be done in a short time, we need to proceed gradually.

Once I have trained all those students from poor families, they can all be kicked out.

Look at your little face, all puffed up like a little pufferfish, alright, let me tell you something to make you happy."

For some reason, whenever he was around Lin Yi, the young Emperor often showed a girlish demeanor.

Even she herself couldn’t figure out why.

Given the young Emperor’s temper, if someone dared to treat her this way on a normal day, she would probably have them dragged out and beheaded.

Even her close ones would probably not escape a beating.

But every time she was with Lin Yi, she always felt a sense of complete relaxation, as if she had found someone to rely on.

This feeling hadn’t appeared since her father, the Emperor, had passed away.

Seeing Lin Yi’s smug look, the young Emperor rolled her eyes cooperatively and then spoke irritably:

"Hehe, you really think I don’t know anything?

Your Qilin Vase sold for one hundred thousand taels each, and a total of two were sold, making it two hundred thousand taels.

Plus some odds and ends, the total earnings this time should be around three hundred thousand taels."

It must be said, when the young Emperor first heard this figure from the mouths of the Shadow Guards, she was truly shocked.

She could never have imagined that the business could have such huge profits.

And according to Lin Yi, the cost of these glazed glass might not even exceed a hundred taels put together.

Even adding the sales cost, depreciation cost, etc. that Lin Yi often mentioned, the profit must be astronomical.

Not to mention anything else, just today’s sales alone could directly recover all the investment in the Nanshan Base.

Not only that, but in the coming year, she also won’t have to worry about the expenses of those at the Nanshan Base.

It can be said that this has completely solved her pressing need.

Aside from the expenses at the Nanshan Base, she could also allocate a large portion for military salaries.

As for the officials’ salaries? The young Emperor naturally wouldn’t count it within this money.

The officials’ salaries should naturally be disbursed by the National Treasury, this money should all enter her own Inner Hall.

Jokingly, would she use her own money to distribute salary to those officials disloyal to her? Is she out of her mind?
