Lin Zhan watched his subordinates and the Tie family brothers chatting animatedly, and walked over, intending to join their conversation.
However, he never expected that the esteemed Young Master Lin would be backstabbed by his own subordinates. All his glorious deeds had been completely exposed by these little rascals.
What, does this boss Lin have no dignity?
Lin Zhan then sat down beside the "Four Little Ones" and said slowly,
"Alas, brothers, we're going to war soon, and military funds are limited. Look, can the伙食 standard for you brothers be lowered a bit?"
Xiao Jin's eyes rolled as he said, "That's only right. Boss, don't worry. Tomorrow, we brothers will go find Big Sister-in-law and explain the situation. At this critical juncture, how can we, as the people closest to the boss, lead by example in wasting resources?"
"That's right, boss. You can rest assured. Brother Snake is right. We'll go find Big Sister-in-law tomorrow and, by the way, report the boss's personal affairs to her," Xiao Hei was always on Brother Snake's side.
"Alas, listening to Brother Hei say that, we haven't had time to report to Big Sister-in-law. It seems we haven't reported to her since we returned from Fusang. But boss, don't worry, we definitely won't tell Big Sister-in-law about your matters with Xue Nai,"
Xiao Bao patted his chest and assured Lin Zhan.
Xiao Jin quickly wagged his big tail and smacked Xiao Bao on the head, saying,
"Bao, don't talk nonsense. There's absolutely nothing between the boss and Xue Nai. They haven't held hands, nor has he put his arm around her waist, let alone embarked on a long and arduous journey of self-discovery. So, don't spread rumors about the boss, or what if Big Sister-in-law misunderstands and performs 'Yi Jian Mei' for the boss?"
Lin Zhan looked at the three scoundrels before him, his teeth itching with anger, but he still gritted his teeth and said,
"Alas, I suddenly remembered. You guys are still young and growing. You can't lack nutrition. Next month's food expenses, I, the boss, will double for you."
He then looked at Xiao Ji, who was looking like a good child and hadn't said a word. He then said to the other three:
"Can't the three of you learn from Xiao Ji? Look how honest Xiao Ji is. How much worry does he save me every day?"
"Boss, I didn't understand the situation, so I couldn't chime in earlier and could only listen to my three elder brothers. But it's fine now. I've recorded everything my three elder brothers just said. I'll just give it directly to Big Sister-in-law to listen to."
The loyal and honest Xiao Ji delivered a critical blow to Young Master Lin, causing him to spit blood and be carried back into the room.
Meanwhile, while Lin Zhan was bickering with his subordinates, the several Kings of the Liu family had already begun selecting concubines for our Young Master Lin from among their direct female descendants.
Han Wendi Liu Heng, the First Logistics Minister of the Human Race and the Grand Treasurer of the Human Royal Court, looked at Liu Che and Liu Xiu, these two unreliable Kings of the Liu family, in utter bewilderment.
"I say, grandson, what kind of terrible idea is this you and Xiu have come up with? Although our Liu family has many children, you can't just sacrifice more than ten maiden girls from our direct lineage just to help Lin Zhan act along with this kid. How will these daughters of our family get married in the future?"
"Grandpa, if it were really like this, it would be perfect. Then we'll extort Da Shang. Anyway, everyone in the world knows that these girls of our Liu family are Lin Zhan's concubines. Then Da Shang will have to acknowledge it even if they don't want to. Anyway, it's just extortion, why not extort someone with good prospects?"
Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, said with the demeanor of a professional extortionist.
"I just don't understand why you're so optimistic about this kid. Is it because Lin Zhan is good at making money? Ever since he started renting out the old ancestors for extra income, our Royal Court's finances have become much richer. But that doesn't mean we can gamble with the happiness of so many girls in our family."
Han Wendi Liu Heng, this old ancestor of the Liu family, was indeed one of the benevolent rulers in the history of Da Han Huaxia, and the protagonist of "Twenty-Four Filial Exemplars" for tasting medicine for his father. Even his own juniors were so considerate of him.
Facing his own grandfather, Liu Che could only explain earnestly:
"Grandpa, you don't know. This kid Lin Zhan will surely have great achievements in the future. Our Liu family will not suffer if we follow him. You don't know how shameless this kid is. In terms of shamelessness, he's much higher than my great-grandfather. So, just rest assured and listen to me this once. It won't go wrong."
Liu Xiu, as a junior, felt very helpless watching their two old ancestors argue for so long over whether to let their female children become mistresses:
"Two old ancestors, can we stop arguing? Does this matter really need so much effort? Explain the situation to our girls and then tell them about the personal information of this little scoundrel Lin Zhan. Isn't it better to let young people decide their own affairs?"
"Moreover, to put it bluntly, old ancestor Che, your plan will be in vain. You know how Lin Zhan treats his wife. Do you think he will marry other concubines? I dare say that if it weren't to trap the ten thousand races with a big scheme, this kid wouldn't even keep anyone by his side."
Liu Che frowned upon hearing this, "It seems to be true. Then it's difficult to handle."
He then turned to Liu Xiu and said,
"Xiu, what do you say about letting these girls take some medicine? Don't we still have that 'Ten Complete Elixir'? Let these girls carry some. If that doesn't work, drug Lin boy. If we can have more offspring with Lin Zhan's talent, we'll make a huge profit. Those old guys in Da Shang were professional bandits in ancient times, and they were all very rich."
Liu Xiu covered his face and said, "Holy crap, old ancestor, what's wrong with your brain today? You even want to drug Lin Zhan? Don't you know that kid is a drug dealer? We bought our family's Ten Complete Elixir from him."
Before Liu Che could speak, Liu Heng, standing beside him, kicked his brainless grandson out, saying, "Why did I give birth to such a brainless grandson like you?"
He then turned to Liu Xiu and said,
"Kid Xiu, this matter will be handed over to you. The old ancestor is confident in your abilities. The principle is not to let our girls suffer."
"Of course, if it can truly become a beautiful story of a harmonious union, that would be even better. After all, the Liu family inherited from the ancient Imperial Dragon clan, and Lin boy is also the successor of Old Ancestor Yan. If we can have a closer relationship, that would be even better."

Liu Xiu nodded in agreement. In the minds of these old folks, it was normal for capable men to have multiple wives, wasn't it? Which of them didn't have three wives and four concubines?
