Chapter 56: The Rich Are Finally Here

Chen Xi looked at the city wall in front of him as the few officials from Fenggao city came out to greet him and the others. He sighed deeply. This is too poor. Looking around, I didn't see a fat man at all. Taishan thief is too capable of making trouble, right? They don't know how to raise sheep. What does the poor have to steal?

Standing in Fenggao's office, a gust of wind blew by, and a layer of dust flew off the beams of the house. When the official warehouse was opened, even the rats could starve to death.

"Liu Bei, Fenggao is really poor." Chen Xi said helplessly, "They are poor and pale, but this is fine. There is no need to worry about it too much. As long as they can eat, these people are willing to do anything."

"They really are poor and pale. Hope Chen Xi is ready to take over this place." Liu Bei said with a wry smile, thinking that Taishan county would be poor, but he didn't expect it to be so poor that he didn't see a well-dressed person in the entire city.

"These are not too troublesome. There will be news in about three to five days. I originally thought that Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang would arrive earlier than us. I didn't expect them to be not here yet. But that's fine. We don't have a shortage of food. Liu Bei, you can still opened the supplies to distribute food to help the victims, and tell them that in three days, we will build water conservancy, renovate the city, and that we will pay and feed them for the work." Chen Xi looked at the warehouse that had no rats. He shrugged and said. He has no money, but there are many people in the world who are willing to pay for technology.

"In that case, I will do that now." Liu Bei patted Chen Xi on the shoulder and said, "The rest is up to you."

In the next few days, Chen Xi swayed the government affairs. Although it seemed casual, but there are not many mistakes or omissions, after all, the general direction is correct.

For Chen Xi, as long as he tells the officials under him what they are going to do, the people below will fill in the rest. They will write a plan and submit it to Chen Xi for review. Once the revision is made combining the long-term vision of a traverser with the reality of this era, the strategic plan for the situation is finalized.

It is precisely because of this that even though it has only been a few days of effort, the entire Fenggao government affairs has been set up. All government affairs have begun to be handled in an orderly manner, and the poor people in the city who are half bandits and half civilians have also been sorted out by Liu Bei. They started to play the value they deserve.

"Chen Xi, you seem to be sleepy all the time." Jian Yong found Chen Xi dozing off while he was busy drinking tea.

"I have solved in the general direction. What to do, how many people are needed in a place, and how to manage these are not my business. All I have to do is to develop the framework." Chen Xi said with his eyes half-closed and said. With Jian Yong's good temper, and the informal Liu Bei, Chen Xi didn't bother to pay attention to his demeanor.

"Chen Xi, aren't you always saying that those who can do more work should work more? Even Zhao Yun has been pulled over to deal with government affairs. Why are you still in the mood to sleep? I always feel that you have been exhausted during the day." Jian Yong was partially persuaded and said helplessly.

"That's not what you said when we were assigning tasks. You all had a gleeful expression." Chen Xi opened his eyes and took a sip of tea from his teacup. "I have to deal with not only the general direction, but also the reclamation and disaster relief. I also have to deal with the refugees, building city defenses, raising taxes, finding out the population, prospering business, and a series of things.

Chen Xi broke out the statistics with his fingers, which made Jian Yong, who had just come to Taishan extremely depressed. When assigning tasks, Chen Xi waved his hand to indicate that he could carry out the plan in the general direction, and then everyone was happy to let Chen Xi take over, but the result was this.

It took Chen Xi five or six days to deal with all the matters. The rest of the time was sitting in the government office watching Jian Yong busily dealing with government affairs. Of course, Zhao Yun was not better, and all the details of Tuntian system were handed over to Zhao Yun to deal with. However, it seems that Zhao Yun was making it quite difficult. Chen Xi made several special mentions, but in the end he still had to make it difficult. He spent a lot of time making changes but the result was barely visible.

"Who would have thought that you would finish three months of works in five days!" Jian Yong was obviously a little mad. He is busy with his work every day, but then he watched his boss sipping tea leisurely. Is there any humanity in this?

"You are too slow." Chen Xi was a little sluggish, and doing nothing is also very torturous. Especially if there is nothing to do and he can't leave the government office. There are always some guys who can't understand what he wrote, although every word can be understood. However, they don't understand what is going on in general.

"Chen Xi..." Jian Yong's beard jumped up and down. Originally, as a friend of Liu Bei, he came to Taishan from Xuzhou to help, but after he came, he saw what is called a demon, which was a real blow to him!

"Report, Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang asked to see you." Just when Chen Xi was about to continue to tease Jian Yong and Zhao Yun, a soldier came in and said with a bow.

"They are finally here. Fortunately, if they were slower, we won't have enough food. It seems that I can finish everything today." Chen Xi said with a smile, "Xianhe, I am going to deal with my affairs."

After Chen Xi left, Jian Yong finally felt calm inside, and turned to look at Zhao Yun, who continue reviewing things related Tuntian system and asked, "Zhao Yun, why are you so silent today?"

"Military advisor is not someone we can compared with. Although he is not very old but he really is a genius. He has already finish the general direction of the matters we need to deal with. It is more for us to familiarize with the handling of government affairs. Even without us, he could finish all the work in ten days." Zhao Yun stopped the brush and said with a sigh. The more familiar he is with the matters of the Tuntian system, the more Zhao Yun felt that Chen Xi was tempering him.

"Liu Bei asked me to watch him and not let him be too tired, for fear that he will die of exhaustion, but I am not at all worried about this kind of thing happening now. Maybe those things can exhaust us, but for Chen Xi, it might just be a matter of doing it." Jian Yong shook his head and said.

Chen Xi walked out of the gate and cupped his hand, and said with a smile on his face, "The two are finally here. Liu Bei has been waiting for a few days before this but not long ago he visited the counties because of the Taishan bandits. The two might have to wait a day or two and I will let Liu Bei come back soon."

"Chen Xi's words is not good, how dare we hinder the great cause of Liu Bei. Brother Zhang and I came from Zhongshan this time because we heard that Taishan is short of food, and would like to offer one hundred thousand stone of grain and grass to contribute to the great cause of Liu Bei." Su Shuang said with a really loud voice. They deserves to be made of money, but a large sum of money is not enough to explain the current performance of the two.

"One hundred thousand stone." Chen Xi still recognizes Su Shuang's courage. He deserves to be a wealthy businessman in Zhongshan. Although he couldn't be included in the four great merchants at the end of Han Dynasty, he is also a well-deserved rich man. "I will take the food. The technology was written by me. You should have tested it before, otherwise you won't come with so much food."

As soon as Chen Xi spoke, it was obvious that Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping were obviously relieved. They were not afraid that the other party would ask for more things. But they were afraid that the other party won't accept anything. Now that they have received the food, there will be talks. It's worth their effort and use of favor to quickly converge a batch of food and grass to be transported over.
