99: You don’t understand the happiness of the Regent!

Hiss!!

With so much gold, can the spatial ring even hold it all?

Lin Ye expressed his doubts.

“Alright, that’s all for now~”

“Gold is something you can earn slowly, no need to rush. After all, there’s still next month, right?”

“Moreover.”

“We only took one Royal Capital today; the entire Moon Shadow Kingdom is still waiting.”

“The task is difficult, and the responsibility is immense!”

The Moon Queen truly found it hard to believe.

“It’s hard to say if there will be any in the future…”

“As for the current Royal Capital, who would dare to live here?”

“And as for the people outside, who would dare to come?”

The Moon Queen had no feelings for the subjects here.

The fact was.

In this country, she was truly just a special weapon with the title of Queen.

So what she was considering now was not how regrettable the deaths were, but whether this money could be earned in the future, and whether the Star Moon Palace’s sphere of influence could still expand.

This awakening.

She understood the importance of strength.

If there was no strength.

Even a Queen would only be destined to be bullied.

“According to the news just received, Chrono has contacted Magic Associations and governors in various places. Currently, most of the kingdom is basically in full rebellion.”

“The Hell Black Flame in the Royal Capital is still burning. It will probably be a ruin after it extinguishes. Should it be rebuilt?”

Lin Ye thought for a moment: “It must be rebuilt. It’s our territory, so it should be built. You don’t need to consider the issues with other personnel.”

“Then… what will be the cost of rebuilding?” The Moon Queen looked to the side.

Minister of Internal Affairs Iris pushed up her glasses.

“A rough estimate is that it will require at least 100 billion gold to possibly restore the Royal Capital to its former prosperity.”

Pfft~

Lin Ye really couldn’t hold back.

“Is the ratio that exaggerated?”

Minister of Internal Affairs Iris affirmed: “Yes, construction is always more expensive than destruction. Moreover… this time’s income is not plundering. From a purely financial perspective, it’s actually very uneconomical.”

Not plundering?

Oh, right~

Why not do some plundering?

“Confiscate, we must confiscate!”

Lin Ye was immediately enlightened and ordered: “Confiscate the homes of all those Magic Associations, cabinet ministers, and council officials! Every single one of them!”

The Queen’s eyebrows subtly lifted, a smile appearing on her lips as she softly persuaded: “This King has already given the order to confiscate homes. As for the wealth collected, it will all be used to build a brand new Star Moon Legion and rebuild the Star Moon Palace. What does Chief Advisor think?”

Acting first and reporting later, huh?

Lin Ye thought to himself.

She probably already had a good idea of how to get rich from this.

Bad deeds.

I did them all.

Good deeds.

She took them all.

Impressive, impressive~

Seeing that Lin Ye didn’t speak, the Moon Queen immediately leaned in slightly, as if with a hint of grievance, and slowly said: “Chief Advisor doesn’t know, but over the years, the Star Moon Palace’s magic array has always been operating at its lowest state. In order to deal with the Saints in the future, it definitely needs to be rebuilt at a great cost.”

Lin Ye nodded: “That’s reasonable.”

The Moon Queen continued: “Historically, the Blue Moon Legion was responsible for guarding the Royal Capital. Both the Queen and the Princess had exclusive Star Moon Legions. This not only provided better protection but also enhanced their innate abilities through the magic array within the Star Moon Palace.”

Lin Ye continued to nod: “That’s also reasonable.”

Mua~

The Moon Queen leaned in and lightly kissed Lin Ye’s lips: “Since Chief Advisor has no objections, then it’s settled!”

“Alright.”

Even the dignified Moon Queen had learned to act spoiled, what objections could Lin Ye possibly have?

“You manage the Star Moon Palace, and I’ll take care of the Royal Capital.”

“I’ll cover the rebuilding costs. Minister of Internal Affairs Iris will only handle internal affairs from now on. The council will be closed indefinitely. As for the remaining Minister of Finance, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Minister of Magic… all the ministers, I’ll take on all their roles myself.”

The Moon Queen’s beautiful eyes flashed, and she nodded in delight.

“Decree, effective immediately, a new position of Regent is established, with full authority over all matters, big and small, throughout the kingdom, to be held by Demon Lord!”

[Ding~]

[You have become the Regent of the Moon Shadow Kingdom.]

Clap clap~

The Moon Queen clapped her hands lightly, and the maids outside immediately entered, presenting a spatial ring.

“50 million gold, it’s all here. Is Regent satisfied?”

Lin Ye took the ring, and a prompt popped up, offering to double the amount.

[Ding~]

[You have obtained 5 billion gold.]

Good!

The gold was in hand.

Lin Ye was relieved.

5 billion gold.

If converted entirely to cash, it would be close to a trillion.

If Lin Ye were to dump it all, the eternal gold exchange rate would crash within a day.

Of course.

Such an action was inherently unnecessary.

Because the value of gold would inevitably be higher than real-world currency.

Once international powers entered the money-spending phase, it would basically be about turning on the printing presses, you print yours, I print mine.

Therefore.

The price of gold in eternal would inevitably rise further.

Let’s see.

Currently, apart from national powers, and some super-large top financial groups, most forces would not have more than 5 billion gold in their hands.

Their assets might far exceed that, but spot gold would be very difficult.

For example, the four major families of Sakura and the four major chaebols of South Korea have invested a large amount of gold in eternal to purchase assets.

Real estate.

Of course, it was the most important investment direction.

Lin Ye never intended to be a good person; saying he would rebuild was just to make money.

Engineering.

No matter in which world, it is one of the most profitable industries.

Land.

No matter in which world, it is one of the most core assets.

Now.

Whether it was Sakura players or South Korea players, their properties in the Royal Capital would inevitably be confiscated, and they would inevitably go into Lin Ye’s pocket.

The Queen confiscated the homes of ministers, council members, and the Magic Association.

Lin Ye confiscated the homes of Sakura, South Korea, the four major families, and the four major chaebols.

Although the Queen picked the fat, confiscating more and seemingly achieving better results in the confiscation competition, her gains were all one-time.

But Lin Ye was different.

After confiscating.

Lin Ye could use his power and gold to immediately start real estate, banking, and commercial development.

The Regent personally entering the real estate game, wasn’t that like a referee coming down to play football?

Just thinking about it.

What else could this be but a massive profit?

Even if a pig were to manage the operations, it would be impossible to lose money!

Thinking of this.

Lin Ye suddenly noticed that the Queen beside him had a hint of cunning in her eyes, as if her scheme had succeeded, and she even dared not look him directly in the eye.

What’s going on?

Lin Ye reached out with a large hand and pulled the Queen into his arms.

“Woman, tell me, what little scheme are you playing now?”

Ah~

The Moon Queen lowered her voice, letting out a small gasp. Her beautiful eyes glanced at the princesses around her, then quickly turned back to glare at Lin Ye, proudly puffing out her chest without yielding:

“The deal has been made, Regent’s word is his bond. You can’t go back on your word in front of everyone, can you?”

Hahahahaha~

Lin Ye suddenly burst out laughing.

“Don’t you know that historically, Regents have always done whatever they wanted?”

“Not speaking?”

“Hmph, if you don’t tell the truth, this King can give you a good lesson right now~!”
