Chapter 735 Keep it safe and head to the mine
As they talked, the three of them walked out of the treasury and came to the outside of the palace.
Watching the palace maids and eunuchs bustling about, Chu Chen gave Li Haoran a subtle smile.
"Your Majesty, with so many palace maids and so many concubines like Ma Keqing, your health..."
"Haha, Brother Chu, you're too kind. Why don't you take some with you?"
"What would I need that thing for? I wanted to ask if your body can handle it."
"Don't worry, Brother Chu, our Li family has a secret technique... In this area, we are all naturally gifted."
Chu Chen pursed his lips after hearing this, thinking to himself that he also wanted to sell some addictive drugs. Since the person was healthy, he couldn't just force them to take the drugs.
"Alright, Your Majesty, you're busy with countless tasks every day, go and get on with your work!"
"I'll wait for you for another day tomorrow. Within that day, tell me the address of the mine and give me a document of acceptance. It would be best to send a group of people to talk to the mine manager in advance, as I want to take over one by one."
After hearing Chu Chen's words, Li Haoran's face twitched noticeably.
You have to understand, the Royal Mine is no small amount; giving it away all at once really hurts.
But there was nothing he could do. Their powerful weapons were blocking the entrance, and if he uttered even a single word of protest, the palace would probably be blown to smithereens.
"Don't worry, Brother Chu, I'll get on it right away!"
“Very well then. I’ve already been very disappointed with the state treasury, and I don’t want anything else to go wrong with the mine.”
"Your Majesty, farewell!"
After saying that, Chu Chen strode outside.
Li Fugui looked at Chu Chen's retreating figure and said, "Your Majesty, why... are we controlled by him!"
"Hehe, Fugui, what can we do? You've seen the power of those weapons before. Let's talk about it later. Hopefully, he just wants to enjoy life, as he said."
After saying that, Li Haoran shook his head and headed towards the Imperial Study.
Having just seized the throne, he has a ton of things to deal with, including rebuilding relationships with officials of all ranks.
By eliminating dissidents, winning over neutrals, and promoting his own people, the Li family's empire would be secure.
As for the mine, Li Haoran had already instructed his people to take over the mine. On the very first day after conquering the palace, Li Haoran ordered his men to take over the mine.
This was to prevent Chu Chen from turning on them and directing his attacks at them if he was dissatisfied.
Thinking of this, he summoned his attendant, handed him a folded document and a token, and then gave him instructions.
"Go and give this to Senior Chu. Tell him that Bai Xiangnan can take over. The token will allow him to move freely. If he encounters any obstacles, he can handle them himself."
The attendant carefully put away the documents and tokens in a box.
Then they drove the carriage towards Chu Chen's camp.
At that very moment, another convoy transporting jade essence entered Chu Chen's camp.
After the attendant explained the purpose of their visit, Chu Chen laughed heartily and took the things from his hands: "Thank you for your trouble!"
"Senior Chu, you're too kind. It's what we should do!"
"Alright, go back and tell Li Haoran that the convoy can retreat tomorrow!"
After saying that, he waved to the attendant, then turned and walked towards the piles of jade essence and gold and silver treasures that looked like small mountains.
“You shall surround this place.”
At Chu Chen's command, the machine gunners immediately pulled up the tent cloth and surrounded the piles of things.
Once everyone was alone, Chu Chen waved his hand and put everything into his spatial storage.
Thinking to himself, with so much jade essence pouring in, it should be able to push that door open.
However, this was not the time to go into the space and open the door. After doing all that, Chu Chen picked up the folding document and the token that Li Haoran had given him.
Then a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.
This document lists a total of sixteen jade mines, including three large jade mines, five medium-sized jade mines, and eight small jade mines.
Chu Chen's thought at this moment was that even a small mosquito is still meat, and the more jade mines the better, and the bigger the better.
However, the fact that Ma Keqing, as the emperor, only had sixteen jade mines puzzled Chu Chen.
Considering the rarity of the jade mines in Anchang, Chu Chen didn't delve too deeply into the details; he simply wanted to get his hands on them first.
For the management of jade mines, Chu Chen plans to use machine gunners exclusively, and large jade mines will also need to be equipped with large weapons such as tanks.
After arranging the jade mine in this way, all I need to do is take a helicopter to collect the jade regularly.
Thinking of this, he glanced at the sky and then jumped into the RV inside the tent.
Inside the RV, the two girls helped Chu Chen relax before the sun slowly set behind the other side of the mountain.
"Everyone, turn off all the lights. Do not emit any light."
Feeling refreshed, Chu Chen climbed out of the RV and gave instructions to the leader of the machine gunners.
At his command, the entire camp was plunged into darkness in no time.
At that moment, Chu Chen moved quickly and, in about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, stored all the tanks and infantry fighting vehicles into his spatial storage.
Because this place was brightly lit before, even if someone was staring at it, their eyes would need some time to adjust if the light suddenly went out after being in the light for a long time.
Chu Chen did this because the moonlight overhead meant that once people realized what was happening, they might discover his secret.
After doing all this, Chu Chen didn't linger at all and boarded the helicopter with the two girls.
With a series of rattling sounds, the helicopter turned on its searchlights, ascended into the air, and then flew towards the palace.
Seeing the sudden sound of an airplane, Li Haoran nervously arrived at the palace square.
"Fugui, what did you say to Chu Chen today? Why is he now controlling the giant bird to come above our heads?"
Li Fugui was also very nervous at this moment.
If you've somehow offended this person, and they drop explosives on your head in the middle of the night, who can you complain to?
The two watched silently as Chu Chen's helicopter rose higher and higher until it disappeared into the darkness, and only then did they breathe a sigh of relief.
"Your Majesty, Brother Chu has probably left. Judging from the direction he's heading, it should be towards the Northwest Mine."
"That's right. It seems that this Chu Chen really has no interest in imperial power. But since he has so much Heavenly Dragon Divine Liquid, why does he need so much Jade Essence?"
Li Haoran asked Li Fugui with a puzzled look, still unable to understand Chu Chen's purpose.
Li Fugui waved his hand, thinking to himself, "Who knows?"
