Chapter 43: Diverting trouble to the east
"It's a good thing that a lamp doesn't shine on itself, it's a bit self-aware!"

The prefect shouted angrily, but raised his hand high and lowered it gently: "Let's stop here for today! Everyone go away, Gu Yunli stay."

Upon hearing this, the land gods looked at each other in bewilderment. Is this... the end?
Wu Bogong of Solo Village was anxious: "Your Majesty..."

Before he could finish his words, the governor raised his hand to interrupt him: "I will give you an explanation for this matter. Go down!"

Seeing the stern look in the prince's eyes, Wu Bogong of Solo Village had to swallow the rest of his words.

I simply hate those "protective" local gods!

If it weren't for these people, they would have been able to bring down Gu Yunli based on the chaotic situation at the beginning.

Now that everyone holds their own opinions, it is difficult for the governor to take Gu Yunli down.

In desperation, the land gods could only bow and retreat. When they left the main hall, no one left. They gathered outside the hall and started talking about the matter.

Because of the fight that just happened, the crowd seemed to be divided into two factions without realizing it.

After the quarrel, many land gods felt that they had not performed well, and even went outside the temple to continue their verbal battles, making the quarrel so intense that spit flew everywhere.
Some people gathered in groups of three or five to discuss countermeasures privately;

Some people even tried their best to find out about the "Bao Gu faction".

Of course, there are also many "guarantor" elements among them, who urgently log on to the Internet to withdraw points and make preparations for both situations.

When everyone is seeking their own interests;
At this time, in the deserted main hall, Gu Yunli was also fully alert, ready to answer the governor's questions.

"Mr. Gu, come closer and talk."

"Here."

The governor waved his hand, and Gu Yunli had to walk closer to him.

"You heard the quarrel in the palace just now. What do you think?"

Zhou Jun asked calmly. To him, the quarrel just now seemed like just a wonderful drama.

"I dare not make any comments!"

Gu Yunli answered perfunctorily but was too lazy to answer.

He finally realized that no matter what others said, it was useless; the key still depended on the attitude of the governor.

"Human hearts are unpredictable and selfish desires confuse you. Do you know why I started a war?" the governor asked again.

"I don't know." Gu Yunli said again.

"Hahaha, what a joke! Did you know that the Internet has spread beyond Yunzhou?"

The governor suddenly stopped smiling and said meaningfully:

"The complaint in the palace today is the accusation of other prefectures and counties. Do you know that the rulers of the prefectures and counties have already brought you to my court to ask for an explanation?"

Lord Yin, who was sitting nearby, suddenly understood.

No wonder a mere Wu Bogong could bring a lawsuit to the governor. It turned out that the matter had already involved many people.

It is obvious that the Duke is just using the case of Wu Bogong to gather intelligence in advance!
However, we have to admit that Zhoujun's move was brilliant. With just a little trick, he was able to find out the pros and cons of the Internet clearly.

At this time, without waiting for Gu Yunli to reply, the governor said:
"Logically speaking, there is nothing wrong with spreading the art of praying to the gods, but your art of praying to the gods is truly amazing and has taken up too much of the land and incense. They are asking for an explanation, and I cannot ignore it. Since you spread it online, what do you think should be done?"

After saying this, Lord Yin also frowned.

Think about countermeasures.

After all, he holds 50% of the shares and it is in his own interests, so it is difficult for him to stand idly by.

"To reply to the governor, it is actually not difficult to resolve this matter." Gu Yunli said without thinking.

"Oh? Tell me."

"The world is bustling with people because of profit. The world is bustling with people because of profit. What other states and counties ask for is just incense. It is enough to make up for the incense they lack."

"this?"

Upon hearing this, County Lord Yin looked at Gu Yunli in surprise.

The governor was even more surprised.

"Then what else do you earn?" "To be honest with you, the total annual incense tribute in Yong County is about 260,000 pillars. Currently, the monthly incense revenue from the Internet is about 40,000 pillars. Excluding the incense revenue outside Yong County, there are about 30,000 pillars, a total of 360,000 pillars per year, which is more than enough to cover the incense tribute."

"Based on this, the Internet can completely make up for the loss of incense in various places. For the city gods in various places, this can also be regarded as an unexpected income."

Gu Yunli talked freely.

The governor's eyes lit up when he heard this, while the county lady's face looked a little ugly.

This is to use his dividends to supplement other states and counties!

Before he could refute, Gu Yunli said, "In this regard, I have an immature plan."

Zhou Jun became interested: "Tell me about it."

"Based on the situation in Yong County, I think it would be better to take out 70% of the incense offerings as dividends to the prefectures and counties, and the remaining 30% as dividends to shareholders."

As soon as these words were spoken, the county lady’s face turned pale.

According to this method, his 50% incense offerings would only be reduced to 30%! No, it was not even 30%!
Before he could find a reason to refute, Gu Yunli said again.

"Although the dividends to shareholders are small, once the Internet is promoted throughout the world, with a huge user base, the profits from incense cannot be underestimated."

Hearing this, the county lady suddenly understood.

His face turned from gloomy to sunny.

Only then did I realize how short-sighted I was. I was only focusing on the dividend ratio and completely forgot that the plate was also growing.

"In addition, a shareholder access system will be established to allow anyone to join the Internet and become a shareholder. Of course, the prerequisite is that the original shareholders must agree, and the shareholding ratio will be decided by the original shareholders through discussion."

Gu Yunli said calmly.

He wanted to quell the world's resentment with his nominal 70% stake.

Then use one-third of the profits to divert the trouble away.

Just imagine, as the Internet grows, who wouldn’t be jealous?
At that time, instead of letting all the big guys cause trouble for him, it would be better to push the shareholders' meeting to the front.

Want dividends?

Yes, as long as we pass the shareholders’ meeting.

"No!"

The county lord, who was originally in a good mood, looked unhappy again and retorted subconsciously.

Gu Yunli bowed and said, "Please correct me, my Lord."

The county lord's face was gloomy, and he said, "How can we allow everyone in the world to join us like this? How can we allow everyone in the world to join us like this?"

At this time, the Duke of Zhou stretched his body gently, and said with a happy expression: "This suggestion from Lord Gu is very good!"

The county lady was startled when she heard this, and a cold sweat suddenly broke out on her back. Only then did she realize that he was eyeing the Internet?
The governor won't covet it?
Otherwise, why bother with this?
This is to make Gu Yunli give up!

At that time, just a few hints would be enough to get the equity.

But Gu Yunli was too smart. He took the initiative to hand over the throne without waiting for the governor to speak.

After figuring this out, the county lord suddenly realized that what he had to consider now was no longer whether he could keep his shares.

But are there any shares left?

As the Internet spreads across the world, by then, it won't just be the governor who will be eyeing it.
I am afraid that all the big guys will come to an end.

By then, will he still have a say?

"If the governor is optimistic, I will be relieved. This is a draft plan. Please review it."

Upon seeing this, Gu Yunli bowed and handed over a jade sceptre.

Zhou Jun took it, scanned it with his mind, frowned and said, "With the approval of the shareholders' meeting, it is submitted to Gu Yunli for review... Gu Bogong, what does this mean?"

Gu Yunli said: "The Internet is a humble skill after all, and there must be a process to follow."

The governor thought about it and asked seriously, "That makes sense. I wonder what conditions are required if I want to become a shareholder?"
