Open with a Small One to Warm Up

Since dismissing them would take some time, Zhou Xu still slept that night in Xie Liancheng's Great General's Residence.

The next morning, Li Bowen once again came to call, bringing a group of officials from the former dynasty with him.

"Your humble servant Li Bowen pays respects to the Great King!"

As he spoke, the former-dynasty officials followed Li Bowen and dropped to their knees.

"You may all rise."

After receiving permission, Li Bowen stood and respectfully reported...

"Great King, I have persuaded these former-dynasty officials. They are all willing to serve our Great Zhou."

At this point, Li Bowen paused.

"At the same time, yesterday I said that I would empty my family fortune to support the Great King. I have already ordered the servants in my residence to transport all the money in my household here, along with some grain for disaster relief."

As Li Bowen said this, sounds of things being carried came from outside the main hall.

The servants of the Great General's Residence were currently helping carry box after box of goods into the courtyard.

Each of those large chests required two, or even four, people working together to move it. The dull thuds they made when they hit the ground further proved that they were extremely heavy. What was inside was self-evident.

Looking at the large chests, Zhou Xu beamed.

"Bowen truly cares for the people and is a pillar of the nation!"

"It is all thanks to the Great King's wisdom. I only made up my mind after being inspired by the Great King!"

"Hahahaha!!"

Hearing this, Zhou Xu laughed aloud.

If he had not seen Li Bowen's attribute panel and known that he was indeed an outstanding talent, he might have suspected that the man's position as prime minister had been earned
