Blessed by abundance, be a Terran curse

"I will tell Sister Shu about your prostitution and art."

Xi curled the corners of his mouth slightly, perfectly grasping the other party's flaw.

Except for those brothers and sisters who hardly communicate with each other, almost everyone knows about millet.

So this wave of people took the initiative to deliver the goods to the door. No matter what was wrong with that, they dared to say that they were selling their bodies and skills to Mr. Huang.

Millet: It seems like it wants to be planted in the soil

"It's just a joke, don't take it so seriously"

Nian smiled awkwardly, then immediately showed an expression as if he had gossip to tell.

"From the looks of it, I guess you didn't come to me today just to give me a gift."

As a loving family, Xi Ke knows too well what her sister is like.

Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.

"The one who understands me is my sister"

Originally, Nian wanted to find Yu to share her burden, but considering that they were both breadwinners, she had to give up.

If the good things don’t go to waste, then it’s decided to be yours!

My good sister!

"I'm telling you, Brother Huang's feelings for us aren't pure."

"You mean he likes all of us brothers and sisters? Then he has quite unique tastes."

Xi rolled her eyes. She knew that Nian couldn't come up with any cultural words.

Aren't we all people?

The beast who likes all women can even call himself a lustful person.

So you said that even my older brother and younger brother like it?

"I'm saying that Brother Huang likes our sister!"

"So which sister does he like? Can you tell me everything at once? If you keep suspenseing me like this, I'll kick you out!"

Xi blushed instantly and asked, "Can you please say everything at once?"

I have so many sisters, I can’t still like you, right?

"I think Brother Huang might like our third sister."

Nian took out the precious necklace that Huang Cao handed to him from his pocket with a depressed look on his face.

"You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want." Xi reminded kindly.

"It's absolutely true. How can I trick you into doing something like this?"

"Then you told me this, aren't you just trying to drag me into this?"

But unexpectedly, the expression on Xi's face did not change at all, and he was still as calm as ever.

This made Nian a little disappointed.

"I'm sad. I was thinking of asking you to share this blame with me."

"We just need to keep our mouths shut. Their affairs have nothing to do with us. We won't fight over this anyway. Could it be that you are also interested in Mr. Huang?"

"How dare I! I just regard Brother Huang as my close friend."

Nian waved her hands in panic. Although Brother Huang's style of doing things was very much to her liking, she only treated him as a close and intimate friend.

Xi: Smile analysis, close friend.

Of course, she probably only dared to say this in her heart. After all, judging from Nian's expression, she really wanted to get herself into trouble.

Because then the person being scolded won’t be just Nian.

"Okay, I understand. So, is there anything else you can do for me? However, it's not polite not to return the favor. If you have the chance, please help me deliver this painting to Mr. Huang."

Xi took out a landscape painting that she had just finished from the easel in the room.

"Oh my, I rarely see you giving away your paintings."

Nian didn’t understand anything about art, after all, she was a science student, but this painting looked very valuable.

"By the way, if you still have time, please help me sell these paintings. They are all damaged anyway."

Xi took out a large pile of paintings that were placed haphazardly from the shelf. They were already covered in dust.

"Since when do you care about money?"

"They're just some unnecessary, defective pieces. They take up space here and are annoying to look at. Besides, didn't you always resell my paintings to that stinky embroiderer?"

Xi did not give the other party a reason to refuse and directly stuffed the painting into the other party's arms.

"By the way, didn't Mr. Huang open some kind of Utopia Bank in Yan Country? It sounds like a bank account for depositing money. Please help me deposit all the money I made from the sale into it."

"Won't you give me some? I'll be heartbroken."

Considering that making movies in the future would cost a lot of money, Nian felt that he really had to start doing business.

No matter what, I can't let Brother Huang's good script down. If I can't create my own script, can't I just copy it?

"Thirty percent, no more. At the same time, I no longer care about you reselling fakes of my paintings."

Xi has never cared much about things like money, or rather, a long time ago, even Chou Xiuhua was not interested in gold and silver.

But it is not only the world that changes; it is also the people who live in this mortal world.

Chapter 307 Ursus? A small country!

The perspective returns to Utopia, as the deal with Black Snake is currently only verbal.

Therefore, the food transported by Huangcao was packaged and distributed to Ursus in the form of bags.

There are about 100 kilograms in each bag, which strictly speaking makes it easier to count the number of black snakes.

But anyone with a discerning eye could see that the bags of food sent to Ursus were printed with the Utopia logo.

This completely ruined Black Snake's plan to win people's hearts.

If there were no signs on the bags of food, Black Snake, as the distributor of the food, would definitely be able to take the opportunity to win over a large number of people.

If this happened to an ordinary person, it would definitely threaten the imperial power, but the emperor knew what kind of person the black snake was.

As one of the embodiments of national consciousness, it is impossible for it to sit on the throne instead of the emperor.

So in the final analysis, this wave of actions will become a stabilizer of the Ursus imperial power.

But it’s different with the Utopia logo printed on it. The other nobles will definitely not sit idly by and watch Black Snake dominate the market.

In their minds, no matter what country or civilization you are, the hearts of the people in their territory have been taken away by you, a snake. Who will serve us in the future?

Emperor Ursus will not target Black Snake, but that doesn't mean other nobles won't do the same.

The Black Snake stood with the Emperor, but the same could not be said for the nobles.

Therefore, the food bags printed with the Utopian logo can become the bargaining chip for them to launch impeachment.

At the same time, under the propaganda of the nobles, the credit for alleviating the domestic famine will definitely fall on Utopia.

Nobles definitely cannot get this title, but this title must never be given to anyone else.

So let Utopia come.

Anyway, Utopia does not have any offices in Ursus, and these untouchables who only know how to eat food may not be able to find it.

The black snake, who received the food half a month later, also smiled awkwardly.

"This guy simply won't give up even the slightest bit of advantage."

Looking at the food transported by the convoy, Black Snake considered the current extent of the famine in Ursus.

"Forget it, it's better to distribute the grain first. At least it will make it easier for His Majesty the Emperor to count the households."

In order to ensure that this batch of grain can be put into practical use, Black Snake and Emperor Ursus decided to take this opportunity to start coordinating the national household registration.

It was finally decided that every three people would take one bag of food, but this would definitely require the assistance of other nobles.

So Black Snake and the Emperor set up a trap.

Since Ursus' taxation system is based on population, the more people there are in a territory, the more taxes it pays.

In order to prevent people from underreporting or overreporting the population, Emperor Ursus implemented a new policy.

Only nobles who paid taxes based on their population could receive food aid, and the amount of tax increased exponentially with the number.

If they underreported, their territory would not have enough food to survive the coming winter, and they might go bankrupt on the spot.

The aristocracy is a creature that cannot escape a life of exploitation.

Once the population in their territory dies on a large scale, this group of vampires will soon be displaced.

However, if the taxes paid are overreported, they will far exceed the cost of purchasing grain. Although grain is not available in the country now, this money is the lifeblood of the nobles.

Therefore, the greedy nobles had to make choices. Although chaos was still inevitable, at least the people at the bottom could get a little bit of food.

Black Snake loves the country of Ursus, although he doesn't love the people. But if there are no people, this country will be completely doomed.

Of course, the snake knew that making the people of Ursus rich and strong would also increase the country's strength, but it just didn't know how to do it.

So you can only act according to the method you are most familiar with.

At the same time, Black Snake divided his territory into two parts as promised and retained the people there.

However, the abandoned people are naturally no longer under the care of Black Snake, so no food will be distributed to them. They all rely on the relief from Master Huang.

Perhaps Huang Cao had long known that the Black Snake would be so cruel, so he also came to Ursus along with the food support.

Huang Cao personally went to the scene and directed a large group of people to start modernizing the land.

But after several days, all actions other than distributing food had little effect.

"My respected new lord, thank you for your kindness."

The Ursus man who was abandoned by the Black Snake knelt in front of Master Huang and kissed his boots madly.

Huang Cao did not push these people away, not because he wanted to accept such flattery.

But he realized that these skinny Ursus people were in a very unstable mental state and had placed all their hopes on him, the newly appointed lord.

Even if we declare so-called freedom to them now and remove the shackles from their bodies, these people's thinking will not change at all.

Because bread has not been delivered to them yet, ordinary people cannot think about the future under conditions of hunger.

So in order to avoid irritating the nerves of these poor people, Huangcao planned to continue using serfdom on this land that once belonged to Black Snake for about two months.

Lin waited until these people recovered their health, and then Huang Cao came back to promote the utopian social system.

"Disperse, return to your own land, free food will be left on your doorstep in a few hours, tax-free."

The hungry serf moved his legs quickly away and immediately returned to his shabby hut.

"Alas, there's not even a place to live on such a large piece of land."

The Black Snake's territory is large, but there is only one lord's mansion.

Unfortunately, due to lack of prior investigation, the lord's mansion is currently on the Black Snake's side.

"Let's live in tents for the first few days. We need to build good relationships with the people here before we can do anything."

Because the transaction with Black Snake happened so quickly, Huang Cao came with a large group of interns.

But fortunately, Utopia’s selection system is very ambitious, so these interns are particularly hardworking.

Although I had no prior exposure to Ursus' culture and system, the management methods are often interchangeable.

After the novice officials of Utopia were brought here, they began to collect information about Ursus almost non-stop.

They also showed great positive initiative and started the census work the moment they landed.

They also record the poverty situation of each household in their own little notebooks, preparing to lay a solid foundation for subsequent poverty alleviation work.

Because Mr. Huang arrived in Ursus almost at the same time as the supporting food.

So after just a few days, the Utopian officials compiled a list of all the residents of the territory and distributed all the food.

In contrast, until now, Emperor Ursus and Black Snake are still busy arguing with their nobles.

They haven't even started distributing food yet, which really shows that their administrative efficiency is extremely low.
