Chapter 1960 Take over the Storm Legion

It is not the first time for Li Cong to come to Qinzheng Palace, but every time he comes, he will be shocked by some of the artistic effects here. Some of the sculptures here are really amazing, even if Li Cong feels that he is a person who has seen the world , These carvings can also leave a deep impression on Li Cong. To Li Cong, these things are like a batch of works of art, and that is their value.

In addition, what gives people the deepest impression is the strength of the emperor. It should be said that the strength of the royal family, the strength of the empire, as long as people who have not been here may not feel how powerful the empire is. This is the top strength of the royal family. They are the real imperial guards. They are all ninth-level fighters. Although there are more fighters at the ninth level, there are also many peak fighters at the ninth level. This is what it looks like. In addition, I don't know how many people are in the secret. Li Cong in the secret can feel that they are around him, but he can't see them. This shows that the people with stronger abilities are here. This kind of defense is impossible if you want to rush in. No matter where the emperor goes, these people will follow. Therefore, no one of the emperors of the four empires has been assassinated since their establishment. These guards are the least It's been thousands of years, they don't seem to know how to get tired, the royal family can make so many people loyal to them, it's absolutely impossible to rely on the royal family's money to do it, there must be another meaning of.

The two ninth-level magicians standing in front of the main entrance belonged completely to the royal family. Who said that all magicians are noble. Although they were wearing warrior clothes, Li Cong could tell at a glance that these two people were magicians. Because they were afraid that the magicians union would talk too much, they would not run in wearing magic clothes. These people were among the magicians. The other one, the so-called court magicians, they seem to have not changed for many years, and if one disappears every time, someone else will soon make up for it. Know how. But others have it.

The entire Hall of Qinzheng is like a huge monster. Li Cong felt as if he had swallowed himself. If he wanted to say where he saw the most powerful aura, it might be here. He glanced at the sculpture in the middle aisle. I don't know why the royal family likes to say that they are real dragons. Li Cong smiled helplessly in his heart. Those people are not real dragons, the real dragon is yourself, and you are the real dragon. Five-clawed golden dragon, that guy is still growing in size within his body.

After entering, Li Cong found that there was no one on the emperor's throne, that's right, the emperor doesn't always sit in the main hall, he just receives a few courtiers, if they are all on the throne, it would be too deserted, right, at this time The emperor is usually in the imperial study to the east of the Qinzheng Hall, which is also the place where the emperor often meets his courtiers in private, but being able to enter here can be said to be the absolute high-level of the empire, that is, if some princes have no skills That is also impossible.

The chief eunuch took Li Cong to walk there on Monday. Along the way, the chief eunuch treated Li Cong very well. The eunuchs are the people closest to the rights, but the life of the eunuchs is also the saddest. The rights are very close, but these people don't have any rights. They can only rely on the fake power of the masters behind them,

According to the laws of the empire, eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in the government affairs. If they are found out, the lightest thing is to be exiled for three thousand miles. If it is more serious, they will lose their heads.

For such a chief eunuch, Li Cong is not a fool. Li Cong will not just give a few gold ingots to the little eunuch to get things done. According to the news Li Cong got, this old bastard himself is The strength of a seventh-level fighter, a eunuch without masculinity can make himself to such a level is already very powerful. Not to mention anything else, Li Cong admires this guy very much. On the surface, this guy I don’t want any bribes, but it’s not like that in private. This guy’s annual salary of 3,000 taels of silver belongs to the middle class in the empire, but Li Cong has checked his assets, and he has hundreds of millions of property , if he doesn't reach out in private, how can he have such assets? Do not make jokes.

"I heard that my father-in-law recently adopted a stepson. How is it going? I heard that my father-in-law loves that little son very much." Li Cong said with a smile. For an eunuch like Zhou Yi, the most worrying thing is that after his death No one burns paper for himself, so the first thing he has to do is to implement this matter. The first thing he does is to get a nephew from a brother in his hometown. All he wants are younger ones. , I don’t remember anything, that brother’s money will naturally not be messed with, besides, the peasants in the countryside, seeing the county magistrate so fawning on his elder brother who has become a eunuch, what is going on in his heart? Some other ideas will come up. In their opinion, the county magistrate can do everything.

"Thank you, Sir, for your concern. This kid is still good, but I don't know what will happen in the future. Alas, when I didn't have a child, I naturally wanted one, but after I have one, I have to worry about his future. It's really embarrassing. .” The old eunuch said depressedly.

"Really? Father-in-law, don't worry too much. By the way, I have some cubs of level 6 monsters. They have just been transported to the capital. The number is not very large. If father-in-law is interested, you can pick them from me another day." One, it’s not bad to be a bodyguard for the young master in the future.” Li Cong said with a smile, the children of the rich and powerful in the capital usually adopt a magic beast cub when they are very young, and they have no way to communicate with magic. Like masters, they concluded soul contracts with those monsters. They relied on cultivating a good relationship with the cubs when they were young, and they lived a very good life in the future. Cubs are not so easy anymore. Now the price of a level 6 monster cub is as high as tens of millions of silver, so Li Cong naturally doesn't need to worry about getting them. There are two other considerations for Li Cong to do that.

The first one is to rely on them to make a fortune, but Li Cong is the emperor in their hearts, they can break into the rich and powerful like this, and it is very convenient to inquire about some news. No one has ever thought of Warcraft since ancient times. Will pass on the message.

The smile on his face came out as soon as he heard this on Monday. This guy really doesn't know what to say. This Li Cong is really interesting. He can do such things. In the past, I thought Li Cong From now on, it seems that he is a handy person. This person's ranking in my heart is about to rise in a straight line. It's just that such a precious thing has been searched for for a long time with his own power, and he gave it to himself so directly. Could it be that he has some thoughts in his heart? Thinking of this, the smile on Zhou Yi's face is gone, but at this time, it is impossible to ask Li Cong carefully what's going on. They have already arrived at the door of the Imperial Study Room. This is going right in.

I tidied up on Monday and hurried in to report. The emperor also asked Li Cong to go in, and Monday's heart was like a cat's claw, thinking that his child could have a monster. Everything is ready now, but what is it for? He is thinking about this question himself. He wishes the emperor would meet Li Cong quickly so that he can go up and ask what's going on.

After entering the room, Li Cong saw an old man with white hair sitting 30 meters directly in front of him. This man was the emperor who had ruled the Northern Empire for thousands of years. During his rule, it can be said that the Northern Empire had no obvious progress, but there is absolutely no obvious decline. The people of the Northern Empire have a very good reputation for this emperor. At least there have been no large-scale wars or major disasters during the emperor's term of office. Of course. , He can't block the southern Warcraft Mountains.

"I have seen His Majesty the Emperor." If Li Cong is an imperial earl, then Li Cong must kneel down to talk to the emperor now, but besides this identity, Li Cong has another identity, that is, a magician. Li Cong now has The strength of a ninth-level magician has the title of an eighth-level magician, so even if you see the emperor, you can just bend yourself down. As for kneeling, it is absolutely impossible. Curved, this is a fact recognized by all magicians, and later it evolved into a fact recognized by everyone, and there should be no disrespect for magicians.

"Hehe, dear son-in-law, please, everyone is a family. You may come to the capital a little less, but I am a strange old man who likes family atmosphere very much. This is not the former dynasty, but my study. I think You probably wouldn’t salute like this when you went to your other father-in-laws, and you are just like them, just call me father.” The old emperor glanced at Li Cong, and Li Cong also looked over from this look, this look It is very sharp. It is absolutely impossible for such a person to abdicate in a short period of time. The old emperor has to be the emperor for at least a few decades. Although Li Cong feels strange in his heart, he also understands these things It has nothing to do with me, and I won't get involved in the affairs of their royal family.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, the emperor. It's better to explain the national etiquette first. The national law is as big as the sky." Li never said humblely, and the old guy scolded Li in his heart. Now let’s talk, you mages are all like this, the impression given to outsiders is how polite you are, but really, you don’t understand anything, it’s because you despise our imperial power so much , In fact, there is another reason why the emperor treated Li Cong so favorably, that is, the emperor wanted to improve the relationship with the magicians union. It is impossible for the old magicians to discuss anything with themselves. In their view, what they did The things are all right, it’s just that you need to only talk to you afterwards. As for the things you want to ask him to report to you, don’t think about it. It’s absolutely impossible, those guys don’t know how to Listen to you, that's what those goddamn magicians do, they do things that the royal family hates almost every day.

"Hehe, the son-in-law is still a person who values ​​etiquette and law, just like your father. Back then, your grandfather and your father helped me guard the south for hundreds of years, and they also made great contributions to the empire. It's a pity that it's about you The cause of your father's death has not been given to you yet, and the people in the imperial supervision department are really stupid." The emperor said angrily, and Li Cong sneered in his heart. This Cao Zheng is a stranger to himself, whether you want to pursue it or not, I don't care about those things, these things have nothing to do with me.

"Actually, I am concerned about my father's affairs all the time. It's just that my ability is really limited these years, and I hope His Majesty the Emperor can help me." Li Cong said lightly, he has no relationship with Cao Zheng Well, Cao Zheng may have thought about it for himself later, but it was mainly because he found out that he was a magician who stepped on him. If he was not a magician, he would never do that. The emperor would never talk about this matter for no reason. He must have his own ideas when he said this. Li Cong also wanted to see what this guy thought.

The emperor said a few words about Cao Zheng and knew that the old guy Cao Zheng was unpopular with Li Cong, and he also knew what kind of life Li Cong lived with Cao Zheng in the past. The emperor didn't think there was anything wrong with it. These concubines all have their own differences. If the legitimate son and the concubine are the same, the whole society may be in chaos, and then I may be punished by a large number of old scholars. As the emperor of the empire, he didn't want to be like that.

"Well, I will pay attention to this matter. The empire is currently in troubled times. I don't know if my son-in-law is interested in helping me in the imperial capital. I know you have your own affairs. The recent development of Cao's business is very good. I can see it too, but no matter how you say a business is a business, it is different from politics, and in the whole society, politics is the most important." These words came from the mouth of the emperor , If this is heard by other people, they will probably be crazy about it, but for Li Cong, politics must be involved, but it will definitely not be now. He is developing rapidly in all aspects now. Living in the imperial court would be a huge loss, so no matter what you say, you will not agree to this.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your great love. I think this matter needs to be looked at in the long run. First of all, I am not very suitable for making any achievements in politics. It can be said that I have no political ideas at all. I I do things according to my own preferences. My business is mine, so I can make decisions arbitrarily. I can do whatever I want, because it is my own, but the empire is yours. I If you make a small mistake, it will affect the entire empire. This is absolutely impossible for me, and it is the same for you. Secondly, I have no interest in politics. , you have also seen that I have never been to the fief that you gave me. It is not that I don’t want to go, but that I don’t know what I want to do. My fief may be the worst among most earls Well, I really don’t know how to manage them. I always thought that as long as they gave money, the income of the people in my fief was much better than that of other people. But in the end, I was really wrong, not only There is no improvement, and it has made those ordinary people too greedy." Li Cong said helplessly.

When Li Cong was talking, he took a good look at the emperor. This old guy definitely didn't really want him to help him. If Li Cong had this opportunity before, he would definitely join in quickly, but now Li Cong also understood that what the emperor was afraid of was entering the political world by himself. The more ignorant he was about politics, the better. Now Li Cong gave the emperor this impression, and most people knew about Li Cong's fiefdom In a county with a million people, Li Cong governed so much chaos and chaos. It wasn't a good place before, but it was still good, but after Li Cong took over, the various benefits were not good. Not much, as a result, the common people there have developed a habit of eating and being lazy. Not only did it not have any good results, but it also made the hardworking common people suffer.

The old emperor gave Li Cong a deep look, as if he wanted to see through everything in Li Cong's heart, but Li Cong didn't evade at all, and his face was still as if he had drunk bitter tea just now. I didn't see anything for a while, either Li Congzhen was not interested in politics, or he really didn't want to do this thing.

"Since you don't want to do this, let's talk about the problem of the ocean-going fleet you told me last time. Our Northern Empire also has a lot of outlets, but most of them are for relatively short distances. Transportation. It’s just some transportation within our own borders. We have never been to the distant places. I also believe that what you said is that it is a good idea to transport our goods to the Southern Empire by freighter and then transport them back from the Southern Empire. business, but the loss on the road will definitely not be small, we don't know what is going on in the vast sea." The emperor said a little worried.

The four great empires on this planet are all based on the sea. These four great empires are all on one continent, and the surroundings are naturally sea areas, but they have never developed sea transportation, mainly because of their sailing technology and their ability to understand the sea. Their fear kept them from moving on, and these things were not difficult in Li Cong's view. As long as you are willing to take the time to research, there is no problem. Now it's enough for the emperor to express his opinion, and of course he has to give others some benefits.

There is also trade between the Northern Empire and the other three major empires, but the trade volume is too small, at most tens of thousands of tons per year. This is nothing. This is very different from the trade between several regions on the earth. Not to mention that this place is thousands of times the size of the earth, the population is also hundreds of times, and the trade volume should be much larger than that on the earth. But not now, not even a fraction.

Some things from the Northern Empire are very popular in the Southern Empire, and the profits can definitely be multiplied by ten times or even hundreds or even thousands of times. In the long run, the sea route is better. Land transportation has to be stopped because of the existence of the Warcraft Mountain Range. Even if Li Cong is the emperor of the Warcraft Mountain Range, he can't forcefully make a road from the Warcraft Mountain Range. possible things.

"I have already considered all these things that your majesty said. This is a route map made by my men on the sea. Please have a look at your majesty." Li Cong took out a nautical chart and said, this planet is similar to the route map on the earth. The ocean is also very different. It can be said that there is not much wind on the ocean on this planet. If there is no power, it is absolutely impossible to sail, from the southernmost port of the Northern Empire to the northernmost part of the Southern Empire. The port is about 35,000 kilometers away, the closest port to the Western Empire is 19,000 kilometers away, and the closest port to the Eastern Empire is 220,000 kilometers away. The port in the Southern Empire is not a place suitable for large-scale transactions. If you want to trade with the Southern Empire, Li Cong sees There are nearly 80,000 kilometers to the nearest place from the sea. This is definitely not a short distance. It is not a short time even according to the fastest speed of the remodeled ship. The maximum speed of the rebuilt ship can reach 110km per hour. Hours, that is 2500km per day, and it takes more than a month to sail 80,000km. There are a lot of supplies on the sea, so if you want to go to the Southern Empire to do business, the fleet must be large, otherwise it will not be enough. The middle seat has nothing to eat, and it’s still a fart business.

Of course, Li Cong will naturally not tell these guys that his fleet can reach the Southern Empire in a month. In that case, how should those high freight costs be calculated? Is it possible to charge a sky-high price by himself? That's impossible, so we have to make the price too high. Those ship kings on the earth are all making a lot of money. I have to learn from them, otherwise I will lose money. It's really a fool who doesn't do that thing himself.

"It seems that you have really researched this matter a lot. Our empire encourages similar things, but I can say the ugly thing before. The three seaports you promised on the map are all for you to come to. It was built, and the imperial court will not pull out the money for you.” The emperor did not have any confidence in this. It is not that no one has done this before, but what is the result of them, all the cars crashed and people died Yes, there are many such things, no one will do them, and most of them didn't even get their own lives back.

Li Cong nodded with a smile. The government does not invest in other people's money. What about him? Get you a piece of land that is not very useful, and it is yours. Of course, the emperor is not as smart as those officials on the earth in later generations. Those people can tell you how many years you have the right to use these lands. Yes, here, the land given to you will always be yours, and now the old emperor is still very happy, this Li Cong is a fool, this draws three circles for Li Cong, although the land inside There is also a lot of arable land. But it’s only 60% at most, and the remaining 40% is some mountainous beaches or something. This is charged according to the area of ​​cultivated land, which is a total of 3 billion mu of land, haha This has to go to the taxes of more than a dozen provinces, and there will be nearly five billion extra silver every year, mother, why not do this kind of business, no one wants those lands there, and those in the coastal areas The people are not very obedient to discipline. They often don't listen to what the government says. If something happened, he would just board the ship and go overseas. There are many islands overseas. These three areas are all in the eastern coastal area of ​​the Northern Empire. The emperor is very generous. All these places were directly given to the little princess. The place will always be yours. As long as you start paying taxes, that’s enough. In the past, these places could earn 300 million silver a year, which is not bad. What about now? Expanded nearly twenty times. The emperor was also happy with his actions. Damn, with more than 4 billion silver a year, he can form two main battle legions, and he doesn't need to manage so many things by himself.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, what I promised will be fine. In addition to the taxes in those three regions, if the imperial fleet is formed in the future, His Majesty the Emperor will still receive at least one billion in taxes every year." Li Cong He said with a smile, step by step, he wanted to throw the emperor into this trap. A tax of one billion is the tax of two provinces, and the emperor would not think too much. Yes, this is not a one-shot deal. I just talked to Li Cong for a while, and I can increase the income of the empire by 6 billion silver. I can be the emperor, but the emperor is still shrewd. He saw With a glance at Li Cong, he felt that this matter could not be so cheap.

"Uh, I remember that you still have a pearl fishing business in the east. I can't just take advantage of you for this money. After all, we all belong to the same family. If this is the case, the taxes on the pearl fishing side will not be needed. That’s right, I’ll just collect it from this trade fleet in the future.” The emperor said generously, and this was an explanation to Li Cong, the old emperor’s calculations were very good, how can he go about this pearl-fishing business by himself? After collecting the money, will they tell me what they dug up and what they don't dig up? That's impossible, and we don't know whether those things are the only ones themselves.

"Thank you so much, Your Majesty." Li Cong said with a smile, this emperor is really a fool, his own pearl business? I am not picking pearls, I am raising pearls, and I am cultivating pearls. The technology of raising pearls on the earth is already very good. Basically, it is impossible to tell whether the pearls produced are natural or domesticated. Now I have an income of more than 100 billion every year relying on that, but I haven’t said it all the time. Now that you say that you don’t charge money for this piece, then our jewelry store is about to open up. Be distressed, according to the tax rate of 20% tax in the jewelry industry, there will be at least tens of billions or even more in taxes every year in the future. It is estimated that the old emperor will cry to death, but these things discussed will be used later by the Imperial Household Department. It was signed in the form of a contract. The emperor was afraid that Li Cong would not pay taxes for himself in the future, so he had to do better in these things, otherwise he was afraid that he would not pay.

"Your Majesty, in fact, I have another matter to talk to you about this time. I wonder if you have time now?" Li Cong said with a smile, and the emperor nodded with great interest. For a long time, I can increase tax revenue by 6 billion silver every year in the future. How can I not have time for such a good deal?

"It's like this. In the near future, I may need to take some actions in the frozen forest in the northern part of the empire. I will ask my people to seal off the frozen forest and find an organization that has conflicts with me. I wonder if His Majesty the Emperor can do that. Do you support my approach?" Li Cong said, what he said was very straightforward, but the old emperor was taken aback, mother, block the frozen forest, you dare to say this, you are really brave , No one dared to say this in the past, what is wrong with you boy, the frozen forest should be blocked if you want to block it, but the old emperor will not consider that at the moment, What he considers is where and what benefits he can reap.

"It seems that that person should have a big conflict with his son-in-law. This is good. The Storm Legion in the northern part of our empire can dispatch 700,000 cavalry for you. It's better to ask them to help you. They don't I can’t do the things I can’t do, and the blockade is still okay. In the past, they often acted in the frozen forest, and it should be okay to teach them.” Li Cong was surprised by the old emperor’s words. This old guy has never It's because when you take advantage of it, when will you take the initiative to help yourself, is there something wrong? Li Cong also felt a little guilty in his heart. Does this old guy know about the Thunder Gate? Probably not, the emperor represents the highest interests of the empire, if the emperor also knew, he would definitely do that right away. Definitely not waiting.

"Of course I thank my father for this. I just dispatched the army of the empire to do some private affairs for myself. Isn't this a bit of a bad influence? Those censors in the court are not idlers." Li Cong said a little Embarrassed to say, in fact, these two people understand the things about the censor. These censors are their guns when they need to deal with someone. If you don't need to use your words. Then it doesn't matter, you can do whatever you want.

"This virtuous son-in-law is right, and I have thought of it for my virtuous son-in-law. In fact, the Imperial Stormtroopers have not gone out for training for a long time. I am afraid that their combat effectiveness will also decline to a certain extent. That's good. It's better to let the northern army go to the frozen forest to zip up. This good son-in-law is not short of the money, just you pay for it. During their garrison, you pay for their military expenses. "The old emperor said boldly, Li Conggang wanted to raise some objections, good guy, this old man actually said that he was sleepy, damn it, he was still very energetic just now, and he will be sleepy now? This sleep came too soon, how could I fall asleep so quickly? Although Li Cong was not satisfied, the emperor said, what can he say in this era of supremacy of the monarchy, he can only be honest go back.

The legion of the empire is like this. If there is no title, the legion is an ordinary legion. Only the emperor's pro-army will have his own title. This is the case of the Storm Legion. When the beast tide broke out in the Frozen Forest, it blocked the advance of the beast tide in the Frozen Forest and protected many people. Of course, they could stop it, but the Southern Army couldn't stop it. There is a reason for that. Their fighting power is strong It is one, and the other is because the monsters in the frozen forest are not very powerful, which is also a very important reason.

There are nearly 15 divisions under the Storm Legion, and each division has nearly 500,000 people. Damn it, the military supplies of 7 million people belong to Lao Tzu? But this matter can also be thought of from the other side, that is, for the time being, I can lead the Storm Legion. Of course, it is limited to outside the border, and I have no control when I get inside. Except for the Storm Legion, which has more than 7 million The regular army, and tens of millions of servants, must know that the people who can enter the Storm Legion are all selected from tens of thousands of people. Although it cannot be said that all of them are fighters, they cooperate almost every day. One can reach the combat effectiveness of a third-level fighter, and there are millions of third-level fighters, no wonder they can be so powerful.

When Li Cong returned home, the documents from the Imperial Household Department also came over. The old guy Tian Congdian, Minister of the Household Department, happily drank good tea from Li Cong. He is also related to Li Cong. The cousin of the little princess's mother is this guy's wife. If you call it according to relatives, this is uncle. It's just that both of them know that there are so many officials from the household department here, and it's not when they are relatives. It is Mr. Zhongtang, and the other one is naturally the former and the later of the Sir. He will never say anything about Uncle, Xiao Cao or something, that is inappropriate.

After signing some official documents, the chief eunuch of the Palace of Qinzheng taught Li Cong the tiger talisman that symbolizes rights. This thing is the token of the Storm Legion that Li Cong is going to. Although there are documents signed by the emperor, there is no such thing. Otherwise, it is still useless. Now that the official documents are exported from the Ministry of War, it takes several places to match up before it can be said that this matter is completely possible. Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible. The transfer of a legion It's not that simple.

Li Cong was also taken aback when he saw it. Mother, what's going on? Is there something wrong with the empire? Is there something wrong with the emperor? The document says that he led the entire Storm Corps as the Earl of the Empire. The legion and its tens of millions of servants, when necessary, can even mobilize millions of local troops in more than a dozen provinces in the north. From this news, Li Cong can see that the emperor is definitely not so supportive of himself. To put it simply, he must also know some news about Thunder Gate. Li Cong wondered if he should tell the emperor of the Western Empire about it. After all, the Western Empire also has a part of its territory bordering the Northern Empire, and there is also a province. It is on the border with the Frozen Forest. If there is another main battle corps over there, there is no way that Thunderbolt can do anything other than fight with him.

It's just that Li Cong quickly suppressed his own thoughts, and his thoughts were still very good, but if they really cooperated with him, the emperors of the two empires would think a lot, and they could easily They believe in themselves, but they will never believe in the emperors of their neighboring countries. This is not in line with their ideas at all. This must be impossible, and they cannot do that.

This is not for myself, mother, the Storm Legion spends at least 17.5 billion silver in the empire every year. Forget it, I can bear it for the Thunder Gate. It turns out that this is a big hole the emperor dug for himself. It also saved Li Cong a lot of time. It turned out that Li Cong wanted to rely on his own strength to block the frozen forest. In that case, he might spend more money. It can be done, but I just don’t know how long I will be blocked. Li Cong never thought that such a large organization could solve it in a short period of time. This is a bit illogical, and they will definitely waste a long time. In terms of time, if the time is short, it can be said to be sustainable, but if it grows so much every year, I can't sustain it.

"Hehe, my lord is really generous this time. I guard the money bag for His Majesty every year. Every year, His Majesty will increase his expenses here or there. This year, he has already spent hundreds of billions more. It is rare to see that His Majesty can increase the income of the national treasury, and the Sir will vote here." Tian Congdian said this from his heart, and Li Cong actually gave 20 billion silver here, and Li Congdian's I also thought of bleeding at the time, but I never thought that I would bleed so much, it was a bit big. (To be continued..)
