Chapter 214: Moonflower Grass and Moonlight Grass
Let's get more recommendation votes for the pig's head!
The next period of time is the most fulfilling period since Lin Qi was born until now.
When he was in Dunerke, although he was also unscrupulous, it was relying on the power of his family, which did not mean that he could really overpower those Dunerke's daughters alone.
But now, in the imperial capital of Berley, he has become the leading figure in the dark world.
The goods in and out, the number of shipments, and the storage of the wharf area are all in hand. All the inns, taverns, and carriages in the dock area are also under Lin Qi's control. Not to mention the commercial area, now Lin Qi's center of gravity is in the business district, Barr and Aunt Lily are in charge with three hundred family elites, and the commercial area can produce great profits for Lin Qi every day.
The ordinary residence of the people in Xicheng District, the settlement of nobles and wealthy merchants in Dongcheng District, Lin Qi's intelligence network has spread all over the four major urban districts in the southeast, northwest and northwest, except for the vicinity of the Victory Palace, he does not dare to be too presumptuous, and any slightest disturbance in other places will let Lin Qi know for the first time.
The Brotherhood of Iron Fist even began to intervene in the struggles of certain aristocratic families, such as providing the deeds of some nobles with feuding family members, and solving certain troubles with fists and sticks for some jealous nobles. Although these things seem to be fragmentary, the overall benefits are actually very amazing.
In just half a month, all the bull ghosts and snake gods in the imperial capital succumbed to Lin Qi's strong pressure. The Thieves' Guild, the Assassins' Guild, the Explorers' Guild, and some bizarre professional guilds such as the Herb Pickers' Guild and the Monster Hunter Guild have all signed covenants of mutual assistance and mutual benefit with the Brotherhood of the Iron Fist.
From then on, the imperial capital was really dominated by the Iron Fist Brotherhood, and Lin Qi's two hands could not cover the sky with one hand in the imperial capital, which was something that only the emperor could do, but at least Lin Qi raised two bear paws that were a little thinner than before, and he could still cover out a small half of the sun.
In just half a month, Lin Qi had already begun to send blood to Latus and Titian, and he paid their first monthly tax to them! The staggering figure made Latus and Titian overjoyed, and the two immediately began to plan to expand their respective guards.
According to the aristocratic laws of the empire, Titian, as a count, could have a personal guard team of 100 people. But with the premise of Xiangxiang, where did the spare money raise too many idlers? Now it is different, with the continuous financial resources provided by Lin Qi, Titian can recruit masters to his heart's content and form an elite escort group with a scale of 100 people.
Titian ambitiously proposed to set up a guard regiment with 30 hoplites as the core, 30 hoplites, 20 rangers who are proficient in archery, and 50 powerful warriors who are proficient in various Qimen techniques.
As a member of the royal family, Latus is qualified to have a three-hundred-man escort team. In the past, Latus did not have the money to support so many people, except for the fifty palace guards assigned to him by the emperor, Latus only secretly raised more than 100 Xike.
But now that Lin Qi has provided so much money, Latus has also ambitiously proposed a plan to expand and reorganize the guards.
Coupled with Lingjia and several other great nobles who were befriended by them, they were qualified to have a certain number of escort teams in the capital, so that with the strong financial support of Lin Qi, Latus was able to control an elite force of nearly a thousand people, including even three hundred heavily armed hoplites and two hundred rangers!
When these convoys are truly combative, Latus alone will be invincible in the battle with Mares!
Unless Mares is dizzy and mobilizes the regular army to attack, Latus's personal force will definitely beat Mares and the young nobles around him to the ground, so that their parents and grandparents will not recognize what they are!
With such a great contribution, Latus generously promised Linzi the title of a hereditary baron.
Titian's grandfather, the former Prime Minister of the Empire, Lord Warri, is now the head of the Imperial Heraldic Academy, and the elder of the Imperial House of Nobles, a mere hereditary baron, if you don't need an actual fief, then it's easy to get!
Lin Qi is ready to let his father Blackbeard obtain the title of this hereditary baron, so that his father can also enjoy the scenery of the noble lord. Blackbeard is already working to take over the position of mayor of Dunker, and if the title of a baron falls out of thin air, it will be very beneficial to Blackbeard's future development.
Yiqiē is so smooth, so Lin Qi is in a good mood these days, and when he goes in and out, he is humming songs and dancing gorgeous dance steps. At this time, if anyone saw him, who would dare to believe that this eighteen-duty young man was already the chief of the dark world of the imperial capital, and that he had more than 4,000 thugs under his command? People would only think that this was a miserable green boy who had just laid out his first girlfriend! After a while, Lin Qi knew the truth of striking while the iron was hot, and he paid a second monthly tax to Latus and Titian!
The second monthly tax was much more generous than the first, because this time the monthly tax was not only from the commercial district, but also from the dock area and the east and west city districts! Although Lin Qi had used the accounting techniques taught by Professor Cohen to conceal a large part of the total income of the four urban districts, the remaining monthly taxes were enough to make Latus and Titian laugh off their big teeth!
Therefore, Titian generously assured Lin Qi that just half a year later, when the empire carried out this knighthood, Lin Qi could inform his father to come to the imperial capital to accept the title of hereditary baron. Even through Guò Titian's struggle with the Hua Li clan, Dunerke Black Mountain Beech Mountain has become the fief of the future Black Tiger family!
If this mountain becomes the fiefdom of the Black Tiger family, it will be too much! More than half of the dignitaries and nobles in Dunerke have to pay taxes to the Black Tiger family, otherwise Blackbeard will be qualified to drive these people out of their ancestral homes, and then dispose of their ancestral homes at will!
Lin Qi seemed to see the pitiful appearance of the other gentlemen of the Golden Mansion pleading in front of him, and he laughed proudly, laughing incessantly, and he had been laughing since he left Titian's house and returned to the Fifth University.
When he was laughing, a school official who came across saw Lin Qi, and he immediately greeted him.
"Lin Qi, I'm very lucky, your luck is really good! In the past few days, the Imperial Capital Herb Pickers Guild doesn't know how to become so diligent, they have taken the initiative to provide us with three thousand moonflower herbs, you can go to the logistics office to get them, Master Kocha is still waiting for these moonflower herbs, right?"
Lin Qi suddenly remembered this stubble!
More than half a month ago, when the Herb Pickers Guild and the Iron Fist Brotherhood signed an alliance, Lin Qi sent a task to the other party through Guò Vik, asking them to send 3,000 moonflower plants to the logistics office of the Fifth University as much as possible. Now it seems that the Herb Pickers' Guild is worthy of being a professional organization, and they actually completed Lin Qi's commission with such a fast speed.
After thanking the school officer, Lin Qi hurriedly ran to the logistics office.
Although Lin Qi is now a billionaire with a net worth of tens of millions, he still thinks about those moonflowers and grasses. Not only because this is the task assigned by Master Kocha, but also because a small part of these moonflower plants can be replaced by moonlight grass.
Replace the ten-year-old ten-leaf moonflower grass with ten-leaf moonshine grass, and grind the dried herbs into powder, which looks no different from the medicinal powder completely ground from the moonflower grass.
According to Professor Cohen, Lin Qi could get the benefit of thirty moonflower plants from it, which was a profit of nearly a hundred gold coins!
Although he is already worth tens of millions, the gold and silver mountains are all piled up with golden sand and silver sand, Lin Qi is well versed in this element of making a fortune, so he will definitely not let go of this hundred gold coins.
Hurriedly came to the logistics office, Lin Qi signed the receipt, stamped the receipt with his own private seal, and carefully brought the three thousand moonflowers and plants that were packed in the animal skin bag back to the bedroom.
Thirty moonlight plants used for adulteration had been waiting in Lin Qi's dormitory for half a month, and Lin Qi carefully took out the thirty moonflower plants, and then mixed the thirty moonlight plants into it. Stuffing thirty moonflower plants into the anklet, Lin Qi carried the animal skin bag and walked calmly towards the master tower.
Skillfully opened the door of Master Kocha's room, and as soon as he entered the door, Lin Qi saw Master Kocha curled up in the corner of the wall, grinning on a dry tree root.
Blinking his eyes carefully, Lin Qi admitted that he had mistaken it, it was not a tree root, but a rhizome of an herb. If Lin Qi is not mistaken, this should be the ruthless stem of the 'Hundred-Year-old Bear Blood Grass, which has the effect of replenishing vitality and replenishing body consumption.
Hearing the sound of Lin Qi opening the door, Master Kocha suddenly raised his head, and a miserable green fierce light erupted from his two eyes.
"Is there anything else to eat? Lin Qi? Eat, eat, even if it's a piece of black bread! Hurry up and give me something to eat!"
Lin Qi looked at Master Kocha in horror, what was going on? Before he returned to Duner to take his annual leave, didn't he replenish Master Kocha with enough food for him to eat for two months? According to Lin Qi's estimate, he would come back in more than a month at most, and it was impossible for Master Kocha to starve.
But looking at it like this, Master Kocha hadn't eaten for at least seven or eight days, and when he spoke, the voice was no different from the voice of a ghost in hell.
"Koe, Master Kocha!"
"Eat, eat! Quick, give me something to eat!"
Master Kocha shuddered and stretched out his two hands, then he rolled his eyes, took the herb in his mouth, and fainted cleanly.
Live to be faint from hunger!
Lin Qi was startled, and hurriedly turned around and rushed out. (To be continued)
