The rain was pouring down, and Han Dongwen was sitting in front of his desk, gently pressing his temples with his hands.

"That's it. You don't have to worry about the inconvenience of bringing stones and wood into the palace. You just have to pay the gold and silver."

Xiao Hongdou stood opposite Han Dongwen, holding a piece of paper in his hand and reading it back and forth several times.

"I remember, then whose account should the money for the stone and wood be paid to?"

If you don't count the high-end materials sold by Jiang Keyin, these necessary items are not rare. Although not all shops in Flower Street have them, there is always a comprador dental shop, which is more than enough to buy these things.

"Don't make mistakes in the store, just tell me the money was paid to Yihonglou." Han Dongwen replied.

This was something he had agreed upon with Jiang Ningyun and Jiang Keyin in advance. When the account was fully paid, Jiang Ningyun would take care of any inconvenience brought into the palace.

Xiao Hongdou put away the paper and tidied up Han Dongwen's bedroom, closed the door and retired, preparing to leave the palace tomorrow to buy these things that she didn't know what they were used for.

Han Dongwen only wanted her to use fifteen gold dollars to buy it. As for the two gold dollars that were short of money, Han Dongwen's opinion was to get the bones done first, and as for the material for making the skin...

It doesn't seem to be a big deal if a small piece of skin is missing.

As long as you can run!

Han Dongwen was the only one left in the dormitory again.

He waited for a while and heard that the maid on night duty outside the door had changed her shift. He stood up and turned off the copper lamp in the bedroom, took out the wooden box that had been hidden on the dragon bed when he came back, and gently placed it on the desk.

The lid of the box was opened, and Han Dongwen gently touched the rusty and heavy Yunbo sword.

He is just an ordinary person, not a politician, not a genius with high IQ.

So he really needs to think about a lot of things in advance.

The most important goal is to survive.

There are two factors that threaten this. The first is to stabilize the struggle in the palace. The Tantai father and his son cannot be made to feel that they are no longer controllable, nor can the National Law Department be determined to subvert the situation of the National Military Affairs Department.

Abolish yourself.

In this regard, Han Dongwen believes that he has not made any big mistakes for the time being.

The second element is the players.

If he wants to survive, he must change his direction of becoming the boss plague king, so that players will not attack him, or even help him.

As for Chi Hanqing who finally killed him, Han Dongwen believed that he could not be contacted for the time being. As long as he was not the boss, he would not defeat the Seventh Palace and hide in her Chiya Palace to take the knife.

"The internal beta is..."

Han Dongwen muttered and opened the Xuanji plate.

Some users on the forum have begun to share the news that they have been selected to be eligible for the closed beta test, but as for when the closed beta will be launched, it seems that they need to wait for further official notification.

Even [Sherlock Hook] is no exception.

So, things regarding players are not something he can control yet.

The mid-term goal is the completion of Yihong Building.

The construction of Yihong Tower was entirely financed by the national treasury from the budget of the Department of National Law, so logically the profits should also belong to the national treasury.

But the Ministry of Justice's attempt to build a shoddy project reminded Han Dongwen that this is not a game about manipulating robots.

Every link should be treated as a "real situation".

Then, the income of each Yihong Building should first satisfy its own operations, and then be paid into the national treasury if it is wealthy.

There will naturally be corruption, and there will naturally be pockets of personal enrichment.

This is where Han Dongwen comes in.

He couldn't do it on his own. Not to mention being trapped in the palace all day long, he, Han Dongwen, was only one person after all. Where could he find his own team to manage Yihong Tower?

This problem must be solved after the completion of Yihong Building.

At present, everyone feels that Yihong Building will be a losing business, so naturally no one will take the initiative to take over. This is also the best time for him.

When players flock in and Yihonglou starts to make profits beyond everyone's expectations, it may not be Han Dongwen's turn to intervene.

"I don't know what's going on with the National Finance Department..."

He tapped his forehead lightly with his index finger, as if to remind himself not to forget this.

As the third division alongside the National Law Department and the National Military Department, the National Finance Department has had little contact with him so far.

There must be some precautions.

The last is the shortest goal, about Han Dongwen himself.

He couldn't continue to be so helpless.

Although there is currently no game system or attribute panel, if this place is real enough, there is always the possibility of exercise.

Being a good person is the first step.

He closed the sword case gently, put on his nightgown, hid the sword case under the quilt like a baby, and lay down on the bed.

After a while, Han Dongwen thought about talking in his sleep again, and gently turned to his side to sleep, feeling somewhat relieved.

It rained continuously for many days, and it rarely cleared up.

The days of waiting were difficult. Han Dongwen could not do much except read books and take a walk in the palace.

He didn't dare to go to Chi Ya Palace. Going there would probably cause trouble for Chi Hanqing. Han Dongwen couldn't wait to send Chi Hanqing out of the palace immediately, which could be regarded as letting the tiger go back to the mountain to defuse the bomb.

And he would not join in the fun in Tianchi Palace. Jiang Keyin was a force that coveted the imperial power, so it would be too naive to just grab a pigtail and go hang around.

Xiao Hongdou has already taken back the materials she can bring back to the palace. The only materials she currently lacks are Lijiang iron, mahogany, and Boyang stone, which are large and bulky materials.

Jiang Keyin said that these materials would be brought into the palace by Jiang Ningyun. What method could be used to get these messy materials that are not used in daily life under Xiu Bu's nose?

Han Dongwen was not only worried, but also a little puzzled.

On this day, Han Dongwen was walking in the garden to eat, and a palace maid followed him.

He didn't recognize it, but if Xiao Hongdou was here, he would definitely recognize it.

The person on duty today is Lu Sisi.

Although she is Chi Hanqing's personal maid, she still has to follow the rules of the Yingchun Palace and work every once in a while. Xiao Hongdou skipped her last time because of her continuous shift, but this time it was Lu Sisi's turn.

"Your Highness, the sky is dark and dull today, and the flowers in this garden are also a little wilted. I will ask someone to prune them later."

She followed Han Dongwen and spoke.

Han Dongwen looked at the drooped flowers casually, turned around and glanced at Lu Sisi.

Xiao Hongdou didn't care, but this maid was one of the rare maids who took the initiative to talk to him.

"No need, the sky has always been overcast and the flowers have failed. It would be weird if the weather forced the flowers to bloom so well."

Han Dongwen shook his head, and Lu Sisi lowered her head and agreed.

The two were silent for a moment, but it was Lu Sisi who spoke first.

"Your Highness, Concubine Chi has not seen your Highness for many days, and she often gives this slave the opportunity to tell His Highness how much she misses you. Do you want to go to Chiya Palace today?"

Lu Sisi lowered her head, but her eyes moved very intelligently.

Han Dongwen sighed in his heart and thought to himself that I am the only one who believes in you. The copy of Chi Hanqing's character design made it very clear that he has long been humiliated by King Wen. How do you miss me?

The feeling of risking one's life is almost the same.

"I have no interest in it today, so there is no need to mention it again."

Han Dongwen said calmly.

Lu Sisi nodded in agreement, obviously very disappointed.

Han Dongwen was about to ask the maid's name so that he could locate her, when suddenly two maids came in from outside the garden, curtsied and reported in unison:
Chapter completed!
