Hu Liena: The Tenth Elder Was Truly a Remarkable Man!

"Teacher, the changes in Spirit City in just a few days are truly astounding!"

"The number of merchants on the streets was many times greater than before. Even on streets where three carriages could travel side by side, there were traffic jams."

"The most important thing is..."

"The tax revenue generated in the last few days is actually more than the tax revenue for the entire first month of last month!"

"These Tenth Elder are truly extraordinary!"

Pope's Hall.

Hu Liena looked surprised and truthfully reported the current situation she had encountered.

Finally, he didn't forget to give a comprehensive evaluation of Li Mubai.

This sentence.

This wasn't something she said offhand.

She genuinely believed that Li Mubai's intelligence and talent were exceptional.

In just a few days.

This would result in such a huge increase in the tax revenue of Spirit City.

Would an average person even think of this method?

In order to increase the Spirit Hall's economic revenue, her teacher Bibi Dong also considered this issue.

Some laws and regulations were also promulgated.

The hope is that this will increase the Spirit Hall's revenue.

But.

However, the results were minimal.

Even more so.

This, on the contrary, led to a decline in income.

After trying various methods without success...

So nobody bothered with these things anymore.

I never expected this.

Such a complex problem was solved by the Tenth Elder in just a few words, which already demonstrates that this elder is a man of great talent.

Hu Liena initially didn't have a good impression of Li Mubai.

But now.

After these changes occurred in Spirit City.

She couldn't help but admire Li Mubai.

Facts speak louder than words.

These changes in Spirit City all demonstrate the wisdom and talent of this elder!

"You're saying the tax revenue in the last few days far exceeds that of the previous month?!"

Bibi Dong asked quickly, her tone tinged with disbelief.

Regarding the other aspects that Hu Liena mentioned.

She didn't care.

The state of Spirit City was not what she wanted.

That's what she wanted.

What benefits have these changes brought to the Spirit Hall?

As Hu Liena just mentioned, the tax revenue in the past few days has already far exceeded the total tax revenue of last month.

This made her feel a little excited.

The tax revenue from just a few days can be equivalent to the total revenue from the previous month.

This is something I never even dared to imagine!

You need to know.

In his efforts to increase the Spirit Hall's revenue, he tried many methods and enacted numerous laws.

Despite her efforts.

However, the Spirit Hall's revenue did not increase at all.

Not only that, but there is also a faint downward trend.

This startled her.

They immediately revoked all the laws and restored the place to its original state.

This prevented the revenue of Spirit City from continuing to decline.

So when she heard Hu Liena say that her income had increased, she was somewhat incredulous.

So he quickly asked again.

"It's true, teacher."

"When I heard what the guard said, my first reaction was disbelief."

"I thought it was the elder of the Worship Hall calling for money from the treasury again."

"But later, I personally checked those account details."

"The ledger clearly states that those revenues are indeed the tax revenue of Spirit City over the past few days."

"The Spirit Hall has strict rules and regulations."

"I trust those guards; they wouldn't dare deceive you, teacher."

In response to Bibi Dong's question, Hu Liena immediately gave an affirmative answer.

Upon hearing this...

Bibi Dong immediately stood up, her expression excited, and a faint smile appeared on her face.

"Li Mubai really wasn't making fun of me."

"A few days ago, he confidently promised me personally that the tax revenue generated by Spirit City would greatly increase in the coming days."

"At the time, I didn't quite believe it; I just took it as a joke and didn't take it seriously."

"After all, I put in so much effort for this goal back then."

"In the end, all their efforts were in vain."

"I never expected him to give me such a big surprise this time!"

Bibi Dong stepped down from the throne.

We arrived at the center of the main hall.

His face was beaming with undisguised satisfaction.

Now.

She finally understood the full purpose of Li Mubai's schemes.

"Calling him a god-like figure is an exaggeration, but it's not entirely untrue."

Thinking about all those interconnected events, Bibi Dong couldn't help but admire them.

She admitted it.

This Li Mubai is indeed a little bit smarter than her.

Just a little bit, no more than that.

In just a few days.

This can significantly increase the tax revenue of Spirit City.

This is something that not everyone can do.

But.

This income is still a drop in the bucket.

At present.

The increased tax revenue from Spirit City alone is far from enough to sustain the continued expenses of the entire Spirit Hall.

Then there's no way they could even think about building an army.

Even if we only raise an army of 50,000, the amount of money required will be enormous.

An army marches on its stomach.

This is no joke.

The personnel needed for logistical support of an army of 50,000.

At least 100,000 people!

That's right.

That's 100,000 people!

In other words...

An army of 50,000 would require at least 150,000 troops!

These people's food, drink, and other necessities, as well as their wages, plus the pensions for those who died in battle.

All these things together.

As far as the Spirit Hall is concerned, it is simply unable to provide any guarantee.

There is still a long way to go before we can establish an army.

We need to look at other ways to increase income.

But...

The thought of needing huge financial support gave Bibi Dong a headache.

Because she couldn't think of any good way to increase fiscal revenue at the moment.

"It seems I'll need to visit Li Mubai in a few days to ask him if he has any good ideas."

"This matter is so complicated, it would be better to... grant him permission and hand it over to him entirely."

"That way, I can be a hands-off manager and reap the benefits without lifting a finger."

Thinking about this...

Bibi Dong couldn't help but feel that the future looked bright.

She had no doubt about Li Mubai's abilities.

The other person seemed to belong to another world, possessing knowledge that she herself did not understand.

At that very moment.

Pope's Hall.

A slender figure stepped through the gate and into the main hall.

After seeing Bibi Dong inside the main hall.

The visitor stopped and bowed in greeting.

"Greetings, Your Holiness the Pope Saintess Hall."

This is a woman, one of Bibi Dong's personal maids, who is deeply trusted by Bibi Dong.

What is it?

Bibi Dong's expression returned to calm, and she asked directly.

This maid.

He was one of the people responsible for keeping an eye on Li Mubai.

The other party arrived.

This means something must have happened on Li Mubai's side again.

"Reporting to His Holiness the Pope."

"Elder Golden Crocodile of the Worship Hall has found Tenth Elder."

The maid answered truthfully.

"Elder Golden Crocodile of the Worship Hall? What does he want with Li Mubai?"

Bibi Dong frowned slightly.

I have a vague feeling that something bad is about to happen.

None of the people in the Worship Hall are good; they're always trying to keep her in check.

This time, approaching Li Mubai is definitely not for anything good!
