Chapter 165 The human heart is not enough and the snake swallows the elephant.

"Human heart?" Lilia was a little confused and didn't understand the meaning of Su Nan's words.

"Do you know?" Sunan said softly, "Human desires are like the abyss, endless. For the sake of profit, they are willing to give up a lot..."

"I asked Helles to formulate a development plan for Lemuria, which means that Lemuria will develop in depth in all aspects."

"The development of an empire will make in-depth use of the surrounding land resources..."

"Developing these resources will bring with it sufficient benefits and corresponding pollution."

Having said that, Sunan also stood up from the throne.

"The current currency of Lemuria is red copper coins, which are a mineral hidden deep in the mountains. Due to the role of red copper in military industry and daily life, it has now been listed as a first-class strategic material in the empire..."

"The number of copper coins that the empire sends out each year is limited. Based on the current population base and demand of the empire, only two million copper coins that flow into the market each year are enough to meet the needs of all citizens..."

Su Nan's expression was a little complicated.

"But in the recent circulation records of the Clerk Market, the number of red copper coins in circulation has increased by 500,000 out of thin air... These 500,000 red copper coins are different from the red copper coins specially made by the Empire..."

"They are crudely made, have no markings... they are the equivalent of counterfeit coins!"

"However, because their essence is red copper, some people in the empire still consider them to be a legitimate currency..."

"You mean... someone is counterfeiting currency?" Lilia asked tentatively.

"Yeah..." Sunan stroked his forehead gently, with a trace of melancholy in his eyes: "I have already set up relevant laws, and those who counterfeit currency will be sentenced to death...but why do some people always think that I am kind?"

"Not long ago, I brought down a divine punishment on those who broke the law and committed crimes."

"Kill those who should be killed... arrest those who should be arrested..."

"This is already the second time I have inflicted divine punishment."

"I understand..." After saying so much, Lilia completely understood the meaning of Su Nan's words.

As the saying goes: Greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant.

Even though they knew that the Sea God would punish the sinners, and there were legal restrictions, there were still people who forged copper coins for profit...

So what are the next plans for the empire’s development?

Could it be that there are some people who specifically carry out covert operations for the sake of profit?

To tamper with the resources in the empire's development plan?

Therefore, for the safe development of the empire, someone needs to monitor all of this.

Snapped!

Sunan snapped his fingers lightly, and a large number of light screens suddenly appeared in front of him.

These light screens show every corner of the empire.

There are people from the engineering department, the military department, and the cultural department...

In short, out of his own selfishness, Sunan basically made sure that there were no blind spots in the Lemuria Empire!

This is all-round monitoring!

And it’s a surveillance system that cannot be observed by ordinary people!

"In the next development of the plan, I need you to help me monitor the direction of the empire's development." Sunan said to Lilia seriously: "As for the reward..."

"Just ask!"

It has been proposed, but whether it can be realized depends on Sunan’s willingness.

"Reward...?" Lilia tilted her head, a hint of doubt in her eyes.

She had never thought about asking for any reward... After all, when they completed Egolia's mission before, they had never asked for any reward...

"I don't need any reward, Lord Orias." Lilia replied to Sunan respectfully.

...Really? Are all of you pure water elves so... so honest?

Not even asking for compensation...are you going to work for nothing?

So you are really Palu?

Sunan looked at Lilia with a surprised expression on his face, which made her look confused.

"Um... Lord Orias, is there anything wrong with what I said?" Lilia asked tentatively with an uneasy mood.

"No...there's nothing wrong...good, very good, extremely good..." Su Nan murmured subconsciously, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

Where can I find a Palu who doesn't ask for salary or treatment, but is willing to complete a task as long as it is requested?

He doesn't even need to provide food and accommodation!

This is really great!

At this moment, a red light that seemed to come from outside the universe flashed by, and Su Nan immediately became much more sober.

"Damn it... I almost fell into the trap of capitalism, almost fell into the hell of capitalism, and became the god of street lamp pendants..."

Instinctively touching his neck to make sure it was intact, Sunan said to Lilia, who looked puzzled, "Don't mention this for free again!"

"No matter what, you have to get paid for your work. That's the only right thing to do."

"The involution of scabs is unacceptable, do you understand?"

"...I don't understand." Lilia shook her head in confusion.

"Emm..." A trace of solemnity flashed across Su Nan's eyes. After a few breaths of silence, he said, "Anyway, let's postpone this matter for now. When you have any wishes to fulfill in the future, I will try my best to fulfill them for you."

"Of course, the premise is that your wish is not too outrageous. I'm sorry that I can't fulfill a wish that is too outrageous."

"...I understand, Lord Orias!" Lilia thought about it and agreed with Sunan's decision.

Anyway, under normal circumstances, she doesn't seem to have any wishes to fulfill... right?

"From now on, you will live in the temple. I have set up a barrier for the temple, so generally no outsiders can come in." Sunan continued, "If you want to go out, you must hold my... um..."

After thinking about it, Su Nan felt that things like certificates might be unreliable and immediately came up with a new idea.

A drop of divine power shining with a bright blue glow appeared at his fingertips. With a light flick of his fingers, the drop of divine power hit Lilia's forehead and dotted a little cinnabar on the center of her brow... uh... blue sand?

In short, it is a special face makeup...

"This is my divine power certification. With it, you can enter and exit this temple freely."

"And I have already set up a teleportation formation right where you are standing. You can use it to travel to any place in the Lemuria territory."

"If you encounter danger outside, I have endowed this makeup with three magics, representing destruction, space, and protection respectively. One is for attack, one is for escaping, and the other is for protecting yourself..."

"Anyway, the supervision of Lemuria from now on is up to you, Lilia!"
