Race to the
Throne
Chapter 17: For better tomorrow
The criminals have been captured and so does the disguise of Lu Long is exposed
The governor (Mo Xinyi) of this province, Jinmen, showed himself in front of Lu Long and took him to his government office to keep him safe
After all, things are not so good looking right now
In the government office of Governor-
Mo Xinyi showed respect towards Lu Long, he is the prince of a big kingdom so for sure he will show some respect and asked him the reason for his journey over here
"it's nothing, you can be all calm, Governor Mo Xinyi
I was here just to roam around and nothing else, don't worry I didn't receive any type of harsh welcome for locals" Lu Long said to him
This made Mo Xinyi feel good as he doesn't want his royal guest to receive any type of damage or misbehavior from other's which could lead to some international or his head will be cut from his body
He felt good after hearing that he is not mad, especially about the last night incident
"Then, when are you leaving?" Mo Xinyi asked
Lu Long smiled and asked "Why? Am I not invited to your province?"
"Hahahaa, there is no way Prince Lu Long
It is just that I wanted to create some good banquet for your arrival and right now things are not so good. So I thought that I may not be able to provide you some proper reception" Mo Xinyi said to Lu Long as he tried to make him leave the place
He doesn't want to show him how he handles things here, as the escape of criminals clearly shows just how bad his governing is
Something Lu Long may mistakenly speak up if he ever meets the emperor, to be true this Lu Long doesn't seem to be what he actually looks like.
So he(Mo Xinyi) just wants to be safe
Lu Long understood these tactics and what Mo Xinyi wanted to say but still, he acted as if he is an idiot and said "Don't worry Governor Mo Xinyi, I won't bother you in your work and just sit there silently as I watch how greatly you will handle this matter
Don't worry, I will just sit and enjoy *cough* I mean watch the situation and learn things from you"
At this, Mo Xinyi didn't say anything as he can't say anything
He just smiled and nodded and then left the place to handle the matters outside
*noise-noise*
Outside the government office, a big crow is standing and shouting at the officials that should have taken care of criminals
It's clear that locals are angry but still, Mo Xinyi tried to calm the crowd
Took some time, but still, he managed to handle things normally as he said "I need a few days of time to properly investigate and also calculate just how much of damage is being done"
People were not so happy but what can they do?
They just left the place empty-handed
3days later-
Lu Long is just moving around the city as he looks at burned down shops and other properties
"My Lord, I don't think Governor Mo Xinyi could handle this matter. He is just a corrupt person who only thinks about himself" A guard at the side of Lu Long said to him
Lu Long smiled and said "It's a normal thing. Everyone is corrupt in this world, including us also
*smile*
Let's see how things go on"
With his guards, he just walked through the road
Suddenly he saw a crowd gathering in a place.
"What is going on?" Lu Long asked
"I'll take a look" the guard said and then went among the crowd to know what is going on one
He came back after some time and told what was going on, and when Lu Long heard what is going on with this crowd gathering
He was shocked
"Just who is this rich person?" Lu Long asked his guards and then went inside the crowd to look at the person
What did he hear from his guard?
He heard that there is someone who is going to pay all merchants and other people for all the damage that has been done, and that too at a very low interest
And this is really shocking as this is the best time, for many businessmen, to earn a lot with high interest
But, who knew that a big surprise is waiting for Lu Long in the middle of the crowd
The moment he reaches the center of the crowd, Lu Long is shocked to the core as he saw the same person who he saw just a few days ago during the chaotic time
Yes, it is Hao Jiazhi
Hao Jiazhi stood in the middle of the crowd with his 2 guards and his attendant, Han Yachun with various servants
And it's his side is various large boxes
In the front of Hao Jiazhi is a man with ink, brush, and paper, writing something and giving it to the people
"I really never understand these people who try to hurt someone or damage their livelihood" Hao Jiazhi said in a calm/sad tone
"When I was moving around the street that night, my heart trembled when I saw those criminals burning down those shops and homes, with my calm nature and respectful tone I tried to stop them, I tried to persuade them but nothing happened
They didn't listen to my gentle words" Hao Jiazhi said in a sad tone
'What GENTLE Words??? You were not even once gentlemen at that time!!!!' Lu Long said/screamed in his heart as he heard his words
"I tried my best but still nothing happened.
I knew that I can't win with words and fighting was not my thing. So I tried to put the fire off but the flames put by those criminals were so hot that my hands got burned" Hao Jiazhi said to the crowd and showed his burned hand
'THE FUCK, ARE YOU SAYING????
Your hands burned when you were throwing oil on those criminals and trying to make sure they die' Lu Long screamed in his heart as he continued to hear Hao Jiazhi
"So, I Hao Jiazhi will help you all in setting up your home
Your Livelihood
Your business one more time" Hao Jiazhi said as he ends his speech
*clap*
*Praising Hao Jiazhi*
'Yes, sign the contract with me and give me your money… HAHAHAHAA' Hao Jiazhi laughed out loud in his heart

Race to the
Throne
Chapter 18: Back Biting
Total damage happened is around 50million Ban Liang and this was well calculated by Hao Jiazhi's men, and he got an idea in his mind during the time of chaos
He was just angry at that time but when he looked around and saw that there are other peoples shop are also burned down to ashes, he became really happy
And soon, his brain became fully awake and he got an idea
He called, sorry sent a letter through people to, his mother and asked for 50 million Ban Liang, also he told that he will pay her back in a year and that to with 10 million ban liang as an interest
To Song Xia, not just 50 but even 100million ban liang is not so big thing
It's like peanuts to her as her business is everywhere in the whole kingdom
Though her supporters and other financial assistant told Song Xia to not be emotional in her love for her son, still she didn't hear much and gave the money out
Hearing this news, Hao Jiazhi became really happy as it seems that his mother really loves him a lot
Now about the idea of Hao Jiazhi-
As we all know that a shop earns 10K ban liang per week and there are a total of 10,000 shops, casinos, entertainments houses, taverns, etc-etc in the whole city
So what Hao Jiazhi planned is to make a contract with these people for a year and earn money from them
10k x 10k = 100,000,000 Ban Liang in one weak
100,000,000 x 4 = 400,000,000 Ban Liang per month
And according to the contract, all of them will be paying 10% of their income to Hoa Jiazhi for the next 12 months (after their renovation work is over)
And how much is 10%?
It's around 40 million ban liang per month
Also, because it's only for one year and the interest is only 10%, every single person came and signed the contract with him
Not only Hao Jiazhi earned millions with an investment of 50million ban liang, he also earned the respect of the whole city
This will help him in the long run, especially when he will be fighting for the throne
Actually, he has begun his plan for the throne after all HaoJiazhi loves power and money. Becoming emperor means that he will have both
Only stupid won't take this opportunity
Time passed by 3 months and the city is finally back to its normal state-
In this world, there are 12 months in one year, same as earth, and so far 10 months have passed and the winters are also around the corner
And so is his money
In the 11th month, Hao Jiazhi finally received his first badge of money or profit he earned form investment
40 million ban liang, now let's also add 4 million from other districts also
Its freaking 44million ban liang per month
Next month, Hao Jiazhi collected 60 million ban liang and paid back the money he borrowed for his mother with interest
Also, he paid all his taxes, he is earning white money and his image is now good in front of people so he has to maintain his fake image
Now, his current earning after cutting all taxes is around 32 million per month, and that too without including black money
His boxes inside his house are full of money now and now he is thinking about renovating his house and make it bigger
The Dongping Kingdom-
"My Lord, I have collected all the information you have asked for" A middle-aged man said as he put various scroll and paper on the table
This middle-aged man's name is, XuYijun, the personal attendant of Lu Long and yes, in front of him is Lu Long in his light white and blue Hanfudrees
Sitting on a cushion and drinking his tea as he looks out at the lotus around him
Right now, he is sitting under a small wooden shed, and around him is only water and flowers (lotus)
"Tell me about him" Lu Long gave the command to Xu Yijun
Xu Yijun nodded and then started speaking up
"Hao Jiazhi is the 4th prince, and the youngest child, of Emperor Hao Zhenya.
As far as the information I have collected about him, it is said that he is not much favored by his father as 4th prince is very timid and easily gets scared of others"
*Lu Long spills his tea*
XuYijun was not done with his word but got stopped by his lord's action
Lu Long looked at his attendant and asked "TIMID? And Easily gets SCARED?"
Xu Yijin nods to his question
"Ok… Continue" Lu Long told XuYijun
Xu Yijun continued "It is also said that he has zero experience in fighting or any other martial art skills. He is not favored much by his own brothers
Though it is said that he had shown some sign of improvement but still he is a weak guy with no backing except his own mother"
"That's the end" Xu Yijun said as he bows his head
Lu Long don't know what to say here as he was all confused, after all, he had seen Hao Jiazhi himself and knows just how timid and gentle type of a guy he is
"I never knew that timid people love to burn people in the fire as they throw oil on them" Lu Long said in a very low tone
"Anything else?" Lu Long asked
"yes, his birthday is at new year time" Xu Yijun replied
Lu Long took a deep breath and straightened his back
He looked at the lotus flower and then said "Inform the capital city (district) of Tengyuan kingdom that I will be attending the birthday of 4th prince"
"Is there something behind your request my lord?" Xu Yijun asked
"Nothing, just do it. I want to meet Hao Jiazhi
He is a very interesting guy, someone who could be a stepping stone for me in getting the throne" Lu Long said with an evil smile
Xu Yijun bowed and then left the place
Mc's mansion-
"Achoooo…..
Is someone back biting about me?" Hao Jiazhi asks himself
Right now, he is renovating his mansion to a bigger one
