Chapter 798 Fulfilling the Promise
At this moment, someone may have already guessed what the "promise" that Zhou Ming intends to fulfill is exactly what it is.

It's not the so-called marrying Elsa as queen... He never said such a thing.

It's the story of the "beauty in the golden house" that has spread throughout the imperial capital and is already well-known to everyone... This is what Zhou Ming directly promised.

He also didn't want to follow the truth and be said behind his back that his words were broken.

He wants to fulfill his promise and prove that he means what he says!
So... what is he going to do?
golden house.

He intends to build a golden house in the palace, and put a lot of precious jewels inside, and then invite Elsa to go in and play hide-and-seek games.

In this way, the story of "Golden House Tibetan Beauty" has changed from a market rumor to a real story.

What?

What is this doing?
Is this approach a bit excessive?

Some female compatriots, seeing this kind of behavior, may send two words - scumbag.

That's right, a heartless, selfish and shameless scumbag.

Indeed, Zhou Ming also admitted that what he did was indeed a bit scumbag.

But don't think that he didn't pay anything in order to get rid of the hat of "broken promises" and not to be a bad scumbag to the end?
Don't even think that realizing the so-called "Golden House Beauty" is as easy as talking about it.

Even if Zhou Ming is the emperor of a huge empire, even if he is rich all over the world, it took him more than three months to achieve the achievement of "Golden House Tibetan Beauty".

What did he spend three months doing?
Collect gold and silver treasures.

Do everything possible to collect a large number of gold and silver treasures.

First of all, let’s talk about the golden house. How much gold is needed to build a golden house?
Zhou Ming roughly calculated in his mind:
One, in order to highlight the grandeur of the royal family, the floor area of ​​the Golden House must not be small. 60 square meters and 80 square meters are definitely small, and more than 100 square meters is a rigid standard.

In addition, the number of floors of the golden house cannot be lower than three floors. A golden house with one or two floors will definitely be laughed at, and no one can hide inside.

Some people even build a basement full of gold... Zhou Ming thinks that in order to highlight the theme of "Tibetans", a basement should be added.

In this way, there are three floors above ground and one floor underground, making a total of four floors.

Since walls, floors, ceilings, roofs, and wall columns are all made of gold bricks, Zhou Ming estimates that the consumption of gold bricks is about 10 pieces.

To make a gold brick, about 500 gold tower shields would be consumed... Zhou Ming would have to spend at least 5000 million gold tower shields for gold alone.

5000 million Gold Tower Shields, which is equivalent to the annual financial income of the Aurunian Empire.

Even Zhou Ming couldn't come up with so many golden pagoda shields in a short while, so he had to try his best to piece together things, and it took two and a half months to make up this huge amount of gold.

The gold problem is solved, what about the jewelry that needs to be put in the gold house?How to get it?

Regarding this, Zhou Ming also calculated, how many jewels would he prepare?

After calculation, Zhou Ming thinks that the interior area of ​​the golden house is about 350 square meters, and with a corridor area of ​​50 square meters, he should pile up a lot of treasures on the 300 square meter area.

And you can't just stack one layer, at least three layers, and three layers of boxes, so as not to look petty.

Then calculate based on the height of a box of 0.5 meters, multiply by 3, and then multiply by 300, the total is 450 cubic meters of jewelry, which he has to provide.

And what is jewelry?
Jewelry is priceless, so you cannot fill it with valuable gold and silver jewelry and pass it off as jewelry.

It must be rare and weird things such as pearls, agates, emeralds, gems, fragrant wood, corals, crystals, jade, etc.

And it is necessary to take out 450 cubic meters at one time, not 450 pieces.

But the problem is that Zhou Ming searched the entire palace, ordered people to rummage around, and found all the things that can be defined as "jewelry", and there were only more than 1000 pieces. They were piled together, not to mention 450 cubic meters. Not even 4 cubic meters.

Take money to buy in large quantities from the private sector?
shook his head.

The so-called priceless jewelry refers to jewelry items, the seller can set a price at will, it may be a sky-high price, or it may be a cabbage price, but as long as it looks good and is rare and precious, the purchase price is not cheap.

What's more, after the construction of the golden house is completed, it is impossible for Zhou Ming to have extra money to buy so-called jewelry.

A full 450 cubic meters of jewelry is almost an impossible task.

There are great difficulties for Zhou Ming to realize such a good story like "Golden House Hidden Beauty".

However, Zhou Ming finally obtained 450 cubic meters of jewelry and achieved the achievement of "building a golden house".

The reason is that a caravan consisting of ten large airships set off in May this year, and returned to the adjacent continent of Domihuaga (also a floating island, about the size of the Aurunian Empire) to do business, bringing weeks of A lot of jewels that Naruto desperately needs.

This is also a coincidence. The Domiwaga continent is rich in all kinds of jewelry, but gold and silver are scarce. The common currency of the continent is actually a kind of bright white, round and smooth pearls. The quantity is extremely large, and the purchasing power is very low. Instead, gold and silver And other currencies, due to the scarcity of mineral resources, the market circulation is small, and the value is very high.

Therefore, after the Aurunian Empire caravan carrying a lot of gold and silver arrived at the Domiwaga continent, they sprinkled a lot of gold and silver, and there were as many jewels as they wanted to buy.

Of course, the jewels that Zhou Ming wants can’t just be pearls. Fortunately, due to the continuous depreciation of the pearl currency, gem coins, fragrant wood coins, crystal coins, diamond coins and the like have appeared on the Domiwaga Continent. , the value is much higher than pearls, but they are not as good as gold and silver.

It's just that the caravan didn't carry much gold and silver. The 450 cubic meters of jewels that Zhou Ming wanted couldn't all be pearls. He required a variety of types, which was a bit difficult.

Fortunately, the ten large airships of this caravan also carried a large number of best-selling goods. After these goods sold out, they returned a large amount of money, which was completely enough to pay for the purchase of jewelry.

So in October, after the caravan returned to the empire and landed at the central floating air port, Zhou Ming's jewelry problem was easily solved!

The golden house used by Tibetan beauties is a success!
……

10 month 20 day.

This morning, Zhou Ming sent someone to invite the old prince, his great-granddaughter Elsa, and other ministers and nobles to the palace.

In an open space in the harem, they were brought to a large object covered with canvas.

Zhou Ming asked the officials to guess first, what is this object in front of them?
"I think it's a tree, a big tree."

"It's not a tree. Trees don't have such square edges and corners. I think it should be a rockery."

"Your Majesty once described to me a machine called a steam engine. I think it is probably a steam engine!" said an official who was particularly interested in technological machinery.

"Toy, it must be a fun toy! A toy invented by His Majesty."

"Elsa, what do you think, what could it be?"

Zhou Ming folded his arms and asked Elsa next to him.

Elsa wore a ladylike dress with exquisite makeup, obviously well-groomed, plus she already had a temperament and appearance of 95 points, at this moment she became the focus of everyone, privately, the officials They were all full of praise for her beauty, and felt that His Majesty had a good eye.

However, Elsa, who was standing next to Zhou Ming, was obviously restrained. When she heard Zhou Ming's question, she was even more startled. She thought for a while, turned her head back and forth, looked at it for a while, and then said: " Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I think this should be a house."

Elsa didn't dare to look at Zhou Ming, she felt a deer bumping in her heart.

"Yes, Elsa, you are very smart. This thing in front of you is the gift I want to give you."

Zhou Ming nodded, and said to the left and right: "Guard, open the canvas and let everyone see its true face!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Several guards walked over, untied the rope, and pulled it in several directions.

"Woooooooo~"

There was a sound of canvas pulling.

The top structure of the building is exposed.

After some strong sunlight!
brush!
Everyone couldn't help closing their eyes.

dazzling.

The golden light blinded people a little.

After a while.

When everyone got used to the dazzling golden light and there was a lot of "wow" around, Zhou Ming clasped his hands and said:

"Do you like Elsa? This is the golden house I gave you, and there are a lot of jewels in it... I have fulfilled my promise to you."
