On the way back to his hometown, Chen Xi counted the things he had to do, and finally found that there were quite a lot of things to do, and there were many things that Lu Su could not handle, such as getting married...
It was originally planned to get married in five months, but it turned out that the time for the battle with the Yellow Turbans was missed, and later he obtained a title. According to the comparison between title and official position, it is basically equivalent to the rank of minister, so the wedding was postponed again. For this
Chen Xi could only shrug helplessly. This etiquette in ancient times is really troublesome, but since you live in this time, you must abide by it.
Later, Fan Liang sent another message saying that when he married Chen Lan, he married Fan Jian together. Well, this was wrong. When he should marry Fan Jian, he also married Chen Lan. After all, Chen Lan was a concubine.
As a servant, Fan Jian is the real wife.
Finally, after calculating the time in a mess, Chen Xi could only say helplessly that he would have to wait until the end of the year to marry Fan Jian, and the three books and six etiquettes would need to be rearranged. The elders of the Fan family would also have to come to Taishan in person by then. Chen Xi's current status
It is no longer as easy as before to pass things by casually.
The wedding can be put on the back burner, but the construction of a new style library and the construction of Liu Bei's new home must be speeded up, because time really does not wait for anyone.
In addition, there are still a lot of things to do such as household registration rearrangement, population migration, military adjustment, tax reform and so on. Chen Xi is completely dim. Although he has already anticipated how difficult it will be to reach his primary requirements within three years.
things, but when these things really happened, Chen Xi still felt that he was about to collapse, but there was no way. To make rapid progress, you must have a solid foundation. Can you do it without working harder?
"Zichuan, you are finally back!" Liu Bei appeared outside the carriage just as Chen Xi arrived at Fenggao.
"Thank you, Duke Xuande is here." Chen Xi said with a wry smile.
"Zichuan looks extremely tired!" Liu Bei laughed, turning to Hua Xiong and smiling, "Zijian, please lead the troops back to the camp. I will host a banquet for you in the evening."
"Thank you, lord!" Hua Xiong and others said as they cupped their hands.
"Zichuan, let's go to the city and have a look. You will be surprised!" Liu Bei seemed to have thought of something sad. Then he pulled Chen Xi and said firmly. It can be seen that Liu Bei, who came back only ten days earlier than Chen Xi, seems to have experienced a lot.
Bad things.
"It looks like there are a lot more arrow stacks." Chen Xi looked at the city wall and said. He remembered very clearly that when he left, there were dozens of arrow stacks sparsely scattered on the wall of Fenggao City. But now there is only one arrow stack almost twenty meters across the entire city wall.
pile.
"You will be even more surprised when you go in." Liu Bei looked a little reluctant, but he still kept his smile.
Chen Xi looked at the road paved with bluestones and the three huge iron-clad city gates with shining silver. His whole heart ached.
This kind of showy design is definitely not something Lu Su can do. After all, the city gates in this world do not rely on their own defense, but rely on the city gate order and the internal energy transmission of his soldiers to remain strong just like ships.
, there is absolutely no point in covering that layer of iron sheets, it is a complete waste.
"Zichuan, you don't look good. Are you feeling unwell?" Liu Bei's last hope was shattered. He found that his only audience, Chen Xi, looked very ugly. Just like Li You and Jia Xu.
Liu Ye and others are the same, but they still hold on to a little hope...
"Mr. Xuande, how much did you spend?" Chen Xi asked with difficulty.
Liu Bei raised his finger, and Chen Xi breathed a long sigh of relief, "It's okay, okay, it's indeed a wise choice for Xuande Gong not to make major repairs. One hundred million dollars is still worth the loss. Let me just say, You Zijing is sure."
There won’t be a big mess.”
"One billion dollars..." Liu Bei said with some embarrassment.
"You won't pave the entire Fenggao, right?" Chen Xi said with a wry smile.
"It's all paved." Liu Bei said softly.
"Wen Ru didn't stop him?" Chen Xi felt incredible.
"I didn't mention this to Wen Ru. I thought it was a trivial matter. After all, neither you nor Zijing spent money to build the city." Liu Bei said with a wry smile.
"Xuan Degong, this sentence surprises me. How many times have you said it?" Chen Xi asked helplessly, guessing that Liu Bei must have said it to many people.
"I told everyone who came back." Liu Bei said, looking a little disappointed. He thought that he had done a good thing and the whole Fenggao became a lot cleaner and tidier. Unexpectedly, every counselor who came back was wearing black clothes.
The face smiled bitterly.
"Zijing has never left his own home and has been dealing with government affairs. He has no idea that Fenggao has become like this. By the way, you haven't paid the bill yet, right?" Chen Xi asked, covering his forehead. It was so embarrassing.
After Liu Bei heard what he said, his face turned very ugly.
"That family is so powerful, it has actually achieved this level." Chen Xi asked speechlessly, "There must be no family that spends a billion to play."
"Don't worry about Mr. Xuande. It's only a billion dollars. It's not like we can't afford it. It's also a good thing that the whole Fenggao area is clean and tidy. Although if you want me to do it, it won't cost a penny." Chen Xi comforted Liu Bei.
, while giving Liu Bei a heavy blow, but speaking of it, Liu Bei was not generally open-minded. He seemed to be used to being hit, so he smiled a few times.
"Chen Zichuan, you are still so sharp-tongued, although I have to admit your wisdom." At this moment, a female voice came next to her, her voice was round and polished, showing off her wealth and glory.
Chen Xi and Liu Bei turned their heads at the same time, and saw a lady over thirty years old standing next to a luxurious carriage, with a warm smile on her face. Although the words were directed at Chen Xi, she bowed to Liu Bei elegantly.
, "I, Mrs. Zhen Zhang, have met Mr. Xuande."
"Xuan Degong, this is the actual head of the Zhen family in Jizhou." Chen Xi understood everything in an instant, and then introduced him to Liu Bei.
"I've met Madam." Liu Bei was slightly startled, but still saluted calmly.
Chen Xi felt helpless. This woman was really vindictive. She actually refused to salute him. After all, he was also a marquis now. The title of the Han Dynasty was quite difficult to get. It was completely different from the worthless titles during the Three Kingdoms period.
Affection.
"You don't have to be like this, Mr. Xuande. I apologize for my poor eyesight before. Fenggao City is the most majestic city I have ever seen. I think Mr. Xuande won't mind my multitasking." Mrs. Zhang said her
His status was very low, and he completely lost the domineering look he had last time in Jizhou.
"I would also like to thank the Zhen family. Feng Gao can keep the Zhen family so clean and tidy, and I have helped the Zhen family." Liu Bei said with great joy. Sometimes he couldn't think straight, but sometimes he reacted quickly. Just like this time, Liu Bei understood Zhang instantly.
He also felt fond of the beautiful woman in front of him. All the mistakes he had made before were blamed on the Zhen family.
[I would say that there is no other family that is so big and moves so quickly, but now the Zhen family does have this capital. Half of the same shops in Jizhou are controlled by the Zhen family either explicitly or covertly. Well, they are run by a woman.
, relatively speaking, it is easier to control, so let’s reciprocate the favor.] Chen Xi looked at the scene in front of him and this thought flashed through his mind involuntarily. (To be continued...)
