No Money to Spare, Yet You Still Want to Lend It Out? Bibi Dong Was Furious

Inside the main hall.

Bibi Dong stared at Li Mubai, her expression dignified and chilling.

It has a great presence.

She was prepared to punish Li Mubai according to the law as long as he didn't give her a satisfactory answer.

She hadn't expected it either.

Li Mubai would only complain about her in his heart.

Two today.

He actually hurled insults at her.

Although the main hall is currently empty, two silver-armored guards are still standing outside the door.

These people.

Who knows, once they return to the guard camp, they might spill the beans about what happened today to everyone else.

In this way...

If she didn't punish Li Mubai slightly, how could she maintain the Pope's supreme authority?

For those in positions of power.

Maintaining authority over subordinates is undoubtedly the best way to keep them obedient.

"I told you you're a spendthrift, but you didn't believe me. Let me explain, one by one."

Li Mubai said with a face full of disdain.

He simply couldn't understand why the arrival of a merchant group in Spirit City, which should have been a great thing, was being treated as a waste by this spendthrift who was trying to drive away these wealthy gentlemen who had come to deliver their money.

This is a golden opportunity for the Spirit Hall to develop its economy, and this spendthrift woman actually wants to hand it over! What is this if not wastefulness?

Now he finally understood how Bibi Dong had squandered such a great opportunity.

I see!

Shouldn't people like this be criticized?

He wasn't intentionally insulting anyone; he was genuinely shocked by Bibi Dong's idiotic actions.

How dare she make such a smug statement?!

"Alright! I'll let you explain your reasons. If your analysis doesn't satisfy me, you should know the consequences!"

As he spoke.

Bibi Dong walked back to the throne, holding the scepter in one hand and smoothing her skirt with the other before sitting down.

She rested her chin on one hand, a look of keen interest on her face.

She wanted to see what reasonable things Li Mubai could say!

What gives them the right to refute her and insult her?

Upon hearing this...

Li Mubai wore an indifferent expression.

He didn't take Bibi Dong's minor threat seriously.

He appeared calm and composed, then took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming with confidence that commanded respect.

"What does Pope Holiness believe is the source of economic prosperity?"

Li Mubai gazed at the beautiful figure on the throne and asked a question that everyone knew the answer to.

Interesting... Bibi Dong's lips curled up. Before she could hear Li Mubai's explanation, she was being questioned by him.

But.

She now had the patience to cooperate with Li Mubai's questions, so she lazily replied, "What I have gained is people."

Li Mubai nodded, straightening his back like a vertical beam, appearing solid and strong.

"Since His Holiness the Pope knows its true nature, why did he make this decision?"

Li Mubai's question was very simple.

That's why Bibi Dong drove the wealthy businessman who bought the house out of Spirit City.

Since people are the key to economic prosperity.

Then why did Bibi Dong impose restrictions on people who came to Spirit City?

Bibi Dong Er Yixiao:

"I understand your theory; it's people-oriented, and you aim to grow and thrive based on that."

"I am naturally pleased with these people who have come to Spirit City, and I have no aversion to them."

"But now?"

Li Mubai didn't interrupt, but waited quietly for Bibi Dong to continue.

Bibi Dong's expression suddenly turned solemn, and her voice rose accordingly:

"But now these people are running rampant in Spirit City!"

"Li Mubai, let me ask you this: if housing prices in Spirit City continue to rise, will Spirit City still be able to attract more people to settle down here?"

"Since you say it's people-oriented, how can most ordinary people have a stable home in Spirit City?"

"If there is no home, there is no hope here. If ordinary people can't afford a house, do they still feel a sense of belonging here?"

That's all.

Bibi Dong lowered her slender hand that had been supporting her chin, straightened her body, and raised her head high. No longer displaying a lazy demeanor, her majestic aura blossomed like a flower, spreading and filling the entire hall.

Her gaze lowered slightly, fixed on Li Mubai's eyes, hoping Li Mubai would say something else to refute her.

"Ha... as expected, big breasts mean no brains. The bigger the breasts, the smaller the mind and the shallow the vision. How can the Spirit Hall dominate the Douluo Continent? Even if it dominates the entire continent in the future, the Spirit Hall cannot maintain the whole world. In the end, it is the failure of the decision-makers..."

Li Mubai only murmured these thoughts to himself.

He didn't blurt it out.

I couldn't help myself and pointed my finger at Bibi Dong and cursed her, but I didn't expect Bibi Dong to fly into a rage.

But.

Although he couldn't say it aloud, his expression clearly showed his disdain.

Even if Bibi Dong were sitting in a high position, she could still recognize Li Mubai's expression at a glance.

Seriously... they're saying I'm all looks and no brains again. Was I wrong to say what I just said?

Hearing the whispers in her ear, Bibi Dong gritted her teeth, her heart filled with resentment.

Li Mubai hadn't yet directly expressed these thoughts.

Otherwise, she would immediately punish Li Mubai!

She suppressed her anger, her eyes narrowed, and a chilling aura exploded from them.

She wanted to see what Li Mubai could say to refute her!

"Pope Holiness, you are mistaken."

Li Mubai clasped his hands in a gesture of respect, but his words were merciless, immediately refuting Bibi Dong's remarks without leaving any room for negotiation.

"Since you say my statement is wrong, then tell me your opinion."

Bibi Dong's words conveyed a sense of calm and indifference.

Her words did not rule out any possibility of a definitive conclusion.

Because she did not assert that her statement was necessarily correct, nor did she immediately ridicule Li Mubai, but instead allowed him to express his opinion.

Whether this opinion is right or wrong, reasonable or unreasonable, is a matter for later discussion.

Anyway, no matter what.

She had a way out, and didn't completely block her path.

"Good!"

Li Mubai nodded in agreement, lowered his hands, and then became serious.

He didn't waste any words, nor did he continue to ponder or deliberate.

The history of the development of various regimes in his previous life had already given him enough insights.

The problems Bibi Dong is currently facing are easy for him; he doesn't need to rack his brains, and he can immediately find a solution in his mind.

In my opinion.

Li Mubai remained calm and composed.

Under Bibi Dong's curious gaze, he continued:

"The arrival of wealthy foreign businessmen is not a crisis for Spirit City. On the contrary, it is an opportunity for Spirit City to grow and develop, and also an opportunity for the Spirit Hall to grow and expand!"

The main hall was dimly lit and filled with a chilly atmosphere.

But a strange glint flashed in Li Mubai's eyes.

His tone was full of confidence, as if he had already envisioned the future growth and development of the Spirit Hall and Spirit City, brimming with vitality!

On the throne.

Bibi Dong was deeply shocked by Li Mubai's words.

Especially Li Mubai's confident gaze.

It's as if everything he says is correct, is the truth, and makes people unconsciously believe him!

"Continue."

Bibi Dong also became interested at this moment.

Since Li Mubai said that the arrival of these wealthy merchants and their groups is an opportunity for the development of Spirit City and even Spirit Hall,

She wanted to hear exactly what kind of opportunity this was.

Upon hearing this...

A smile appeared on Li Mubai's face. He knew the fish had taken the bait!

"Your Majesty the Pope.

Since you're worried that the current housing prices in Spirit City will be driven up by those merchants, why not just issue a decree directly?

Each person is only allowed to purchase one house in Spirit City.

Those wealthy businessmen who only buy one property can only maximize their profits.

In this way...

They will inevitably gradually withdraw from Spirit City, and the housing prices in Spirit City can be prevented from skyrocketing.

This way, situations will not occur where ordinary people work their whole lives but still can't afford a house.

This will allow the Spirit City to continue attracting people.

With this population, the economy of Spirit City will surely flourish!

On the throne.

Bibi Dong frowned.

After a moment's thought, she raised her question:

"What's the difference between doing this and simply driving the wealthy merchants out of Spirit City?"

"And."

"Even if they are restricted to purchasing only one property, the housing prices in Spirit City will still inevitably rise."

"It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to buy a house through their own efforts, which is very detrimental to the population development of Spirit City."

Are you sure your strategy will work?

Bibi Dong looked at Li Mubai with a face full of doubt.

She was very skeptical of what Li Mubai had just said, but instead of completely denying his statement, she raised her doubts and let Li Mubai explain it himself.

"Hahaha..."

Listening to Bibi Dong's questioning words.

Li Mubai not only didn't take him seriously, but instead burst into laughter.

Loud laughter echoed for Jiujiu in the empty and quiet hall, lingering endlessly.

Why is Elder Li laughing so loudly?

Bibi Dong raised an eyebrow and asked in surprise.

"Pope Holiness, this is truly a wonderful thing!"

Li Mubai's laughter stopped abruptly, but his expression still held a hint of excitement.

"A good thing? What's so good about it?"

Bibi Dong frowned slightly, her tone full of confusion.

Li Mubai smiled brightly:

"The housing prices in Spirit City have risen slightly, thanks to the influence of those wealthy businessmen."

However, this increase is not significant.

Ordinary people can still afford to buy houses here, but it will take them several more years of hard work and dedication.

However, this is within the acceptable range for those people.

On the throne.

Hearing Li Mubai's explanation, Bibi Dong became even more confused.

She said with a dissatisfied look:

"This will definitely provoke resentment among the people. At that time, the reputation of Spirit City being extremely expensive will spread, which will make many people hesitate to come and settle in Spirit City. Do you think this is a good thing?"

As he spoke.

Bibi Dong's expression changed, and her voice rose accordingly, unleashing the unique aura of Pope, like a cannonball.

"I think you've been visiting the Dream of the Red Chamber too much lately, and you've gotten all confused!"

She had considered all of Li Mubai's points.

That's why.

This led her to make the decision to drive those wealthy businessmen out of Spirit City and then quell the housing price turmoil in Spirit City.

Housing prices are rising.

This matter is neither a major nor a minor one.

Because whatever happens to Spirit City will not affect the foundation of the Spirit Hall.

However, if Spirit City cannot prosper, the income of the Spirit Hall will inevitably be affected, which will more or less have a certain impact on the economic strength of the Spirit Hall.

Even a powerful organization like the Spirit Hall.

Even so, it's unavoidable to deal with various other forces in this world. How do you navigate these interactions?

Money, of course!

The development of Spirit City requires money, and so does the development of the Spirit Hall.

Without money or other substantial benefits, even the Spirit Hall wouldn't consider coming here.

So.

Expelling the wealthy merchants was a decision made after careful consideration by Bibi Dong, not a rash one.

Hearing Bibi Dong's stern rebuke.

Li Mubai was neither annoyed nor showed any disgust or aversion. Instead, he stood there with a smile, waiting for Bibi Dong to finish her angry words.

In the air.

A moment of quiet solitude descended upon them.

A moment later.

Seeing that Bibi Dong's chest heaving had lessened, Li Mubai stepped forward and said:

"His Holiness the Pope has not heard of my countermeasures, so how could he know the immense power of my strategy?"

Bibi Dong paused, momentarily stunned.

She wasn't drawn in by Li Mubai's words.

Instead, she was somewhat bewildered by the familiar voice she heard beside her.

How could this woman know that I was a mortgage slave in my past life?

With property prices rising in Spirit City, isn't this the perfect time to take out a mortgage and buy a house?!

These familiar sentiments puzzled Bibi Dong.

She couldn't understand the meaning of those words.

Mortgage slave?

What is a mortgage slave?

And what about that loan? What does that mean?

Bibi Dong was completely Youyou and could only turn her gaze to Li Mubai, hoping that he could provide a reasonable explanation.

She could now guess that Li Mubai definitely had the ability to solve problems.

Otherwise.

That thought just now wouldn't have been so self-righteous, so dismissive of her decisions.

I don't know why.

Bibi Dong was somewhat unconvinced.

She didn't believe that Li Mubai's decision was necessarily the best one.

So he replied calmly, "Whatever your decision is, please speak freely."

Upon hearing this...

A smug smile appeared on Li Mubai's lips.

This was the opportunity he had been waiting for.

Otherwise.

He directly revealed the plan, but given Bibi Dong's personality, she might not necessarily adopt it.

"Once the housing purchase restriction law is implemented, the Spirit Hall's Finance Management Department will issue a notice."

Bibi Dong nodded, signaling Li Mubai to continue.

The notification content is roughly as follows:

"1. Anyone who cannot afford a house and does not own a house in Spirit City can apply for a loan from the Spirit Hall's Finance Department, solely for the purpose of purchasing a house."

When Li Mubai uttered this statement.

Bibi Dong, who was sitting on the throne, immediately stood up.

Her expression changed drastically, and she glared at Li Mubai, immediately shouting angrily:

"The money hasn't even come in yet, and you're already trying to take it out?! Are you crazy?!"

Bibi Dong never expected this.

Li Mubai eventually revealed this scheme.

Are you sure this is for the development of the Spirit Hall, and not for the Spirit Hall slow destruction?

How could you, Li Mubai, a living, breathing person and an elder of the Spirit Hall, utter such a cold and emotionless sentence?

Bibi Dong's chest heaved violently, and her breathing became noticeably heavier.

She was furious!

Having no money of your own and instead lending it out is simply courting death.

That's the method.

How dare Li Mubai curse her so openly, and talk to her so calmly?

This is outrageous!

Punishment

They must be severely punished!

Otherwise, Li Mubai will never learn his lesson!!!
