Chapter 257: Knowing People's Hearts, Knowing Disasters, Ancient Beasts
"The Eternal Heavenly Sacred Beast? Is it true? Is that thing still alive?"

In Gaoyuan City, City Lord Gao looked at his subordinates in surprise, somewhat unconvinced by the news coming from below.

The sacred beast of Changshengtian, the white wolf.

This is a legend on the Mongolian Plateau and a sacred beast in the eyes of the Mongolians. Similarly, China's understanding of the white wolf is also recorded.

The White Wolf is the belief of the Mongolians, not the belief of China.

Shenzhou's records of the white wolf are that it is a strange beast.

Like the Manggu Red Hali, it is a strange beast left over from ancient times.

Likewise, the White Wolf, like the Manggu Red Hale, possesses incredible power.

According to legend, the white wolf can recognize human speech, understand human hearts, and possesses the magical ability to predict disasters. Most importantly, the white wolf's hair can bring luck to people.

The white wolf represents divine blessing, and only the hair given willingly by the white wolf can bring luck.

This kind of luck can make people successful in everything and keep away from disasters.

According to legend, the founding emperor of the Mongol Empire met the White Wolf when he was still a slave, and received help from the White Wolf. Only then did he rise rapidly, lead the cavalry, and establish the Mongol Empire.

But that was hundreds of years ago.

For countless years, not only the people of the Mongolian Empire, but also the martial artists and ambitious people from the Later Jin, the Northern Barbarians, and even the Shenzhou and other countries have been searching for the trace of the White Wolf.

They also want the blessing of the White Wolf.

However, the white wolf has disappeared since it appeared once before the ruler of the Mongol Empire several hundred years ago.

Perhaps it is because of human greed that people stay away from it.

After all, the White Wolf can see through people's hearts.

What puzzled Lord Gao of Gaoyuan City the most was that this white wolf was still alive?

Are the lifespans of those ancient beasts all so long?

City Lord Gao did not question the authenticity of the white wolf. He was simply wondering if the lifespan of this strange beast was a little too long.

"City Lord, maybe this is not the one from hundreds of years ago."

The subordinate thought about it and reminded.

"Forget it, never mind."

"Let someone look for it."

"If you can find it, notify the garrison in the city and try to capture the white wolf and send it to His Majesty."

"This should be considered beneficial to the country, so we should not lose any merit points."

"Even if I don't have any merit points, it's still good to be able to improve His Majesty's impression of me."

City Lord Gao said this with a silly smile on his face.

He was already fantasizing about his promotion in the near future.

What a pleasure.

"So, the herdsmen's reward?"

"Give him 10,000 taels of silver."

"This is a great achievement. It would be unjustifiable to give too little reward."

City Lord Gao waved his hand, indicating that he would give a huge reward.

"Ten thousand taels of silver? Damn it, are you crazy? We don't have that much money in our account."

When the subordinates heard that their city lord wanted to reward them with 10,000 taels of silver, they immediately forgot about their duties.

It's outrageous to just start cursing.

They were all school officials of the same term, and their official ranks were not much different, so he was not a subordinate.

When the mood is good, the position is commensurate.

If you are in a bad mood, then you can do something physical.

"You are such a disrespectful guy."

"It's work time now. When working, I'll refer to my position. Call me Lord City Lord."

City Lord Gao looked displeased.

"City Lord, you are my uncle. We are all at the same level. You are just showing off. There is no money in the treasury, you know? Ten thousand taels, are you going to pay for it?"

The subordinates immediately became unhappy.

He was in charge of the city's warehouse and coordinated the city's public treasury. No one knew the city's economic problems better than him.

He knew exactly where every penny of money in this city came from and went to, and even the direction in which the money that hadn't been spent would be used had already been planned.

He really couldn't afford to spare ten thousand taels.

The warehouse was so poor that rats would come out crying if they went in.

You still want another 10,000 taels from him?

Why don't you just die?

"It's smaller, the layout is smaller."

"Look at you, you're so stingy."

"Do you know why we are of similar levels, but I can be the city lord, but you can only manage the warehouse?"

“It’s because I have a big vision.”

"A little bit bigger than 100 million."

"The significance of this ten thousand taels is more than just ten thousand taels."

"There is a deeper meaning, and you wouldn't understand it even if I told you."

"You don't need to pay for this ten thousand taels. I will pay for it myself."

City Lord Gao had a proud look on his face. "You go out on your own? That's fine."

"It's your money anyway, so why not spend it?"

"But I'm curious, where did you get the ten thousand taels? Did you embezzle it? No, I've been keeping an eye on the money in the treasury, so you didn't have the chance to embezzle it."

His men looked confused.

"I am greedy for your uncle."

"Do I need to be greedy?"

"My family has been engaged in business for generations, and we have been engaged in the fur trade for decades. I am the eldest son of the Gao family, and I can't take out 10,000 taels from my pocket?"

"Who do you look down on?"

"Do you know what a rich person is?"

How rich my Gao family is is beyond your imagination.

"It's so funny, your Gao family still has money?"

"Didn't you, a prodigal son, contract most of the livelihood construction in Gaoyuan City?"

"I still remember your father chased you around with a stick for several rounds because you spent all your family fortune."

His men sneered.

It’s true that the Gao family is very rich.

But this city lord is a prodigal son.

Relying on being the only heir of the Gao family, he spent money lavishly after graduation, contracting various livelihood projects free of charge, and directly spent all the Gao family's decades of wealth.

City Lord Gao's administrative ability is average, but he is stupid and has a lot of money.

Otherwise, why can he be the city lord?

Isn't it because he has a lot of merit points?

This hurt him a lot as he was the top student in his class.

It's nice to have money.

"I've already told you that you have a small mindset and you don't understand."

"Money is only money when you spend it. You won't get any money if you keep it in your hands."

"In all fairness, is it important to have money and merit points?"

“Money doesn’t disappear, it just stays with us in a different way.”

"For example, merit points."

"My parents' twenty-year life-extending elixir."

"All of them were earned with merit points."

City Lord Gao looked very proud.

His businessman's instinct told him that merit points were more important.

"Don't talk nonsense. Give me ten thousand taels first."

The subordinate stretched out his hand to ask for money, looking unconvinced.

"Haha, you have a small mind."

City Lord Gao did not give further explanation.

This academic master is good at everything and has strong abilities in all aspects. Whether it is handling government affairs, managing finances, logistics, etc., he is first-class.

To use the court's rhetoric, this guy is a pure hexagonal god of war, the king of kings among kings.

The only drawback.

It's just too stingy.

He is too sensitive to numbers. Whenever money is involved, he turns into a Pi Xiu, never spending a penny, a complete miser.

Very stingy.

However, this may be related to his family background.

After losing both his parents and suffering from hunger and cold, he was tricked into joining the Beggars' Sect. Fortunately, he had a talent for numbers and was trained by the Beggars' Sect to become an accountant. After the establishment of Da Zhao, he left the Beggars' Sect and enrolled in the Officials' School, where he was deskmate with He.

What City Lord Gao remembered most about this guy was that he haggled over every penny worth of a steamed bun and managed to earn half an extra steamed bun.

This took a whole morning.

City Lord Gao had noticed his abilities a long time ago.

When they graduated, they happened to be assigned to the same place. City Lord Gao fooled him and took him to achieve various political achievements.

City Lord Gao is rich and capable.

The strong join together and become invincible.

……

"Look carefully, this is my private money."

City Lord Gao took out a silver note from the sole of his shoe.

Not much, just ten thousand.

"Huh? You still have money?"

"Give me ten taels as a hush money, or I'll tell your wife."

"Fuck, you're a fucking idiot."
