Since Chen Xi issued the order that day, he would appear on Fenggao's city gate tower in the afternoon, followed by his legendary bodyguard - Hua Xiong.
"Let's go, Zijian." Chen Xi glanced at the caravan passing through the city gate and sighed, then turned to Hua Xiong and said, now it's time for him to need protection, and being anonymous has its own benefits.
"Commander, please." Hua Xiong glanced at Chen Xi in confusion, but did not ask anything. He just made a gesture of invitation, and then followed Chen Xi down the city wall.
"Zijian, give me one hundred five baht, and I will buy you a property. It's time for you to get married and start a business." As Chen Xi walked down the steps, he seemed to have thought of something and turned around.
Hua Xiong said.
"Oh." Hua Xiong nodded. He didn't think much about the industry at all. After all, he had always relied on seizures for a living before, and he lived a very good life.
Chen Xi got on the carriage, Hua Xiong got on his horse, and led a group of soldiers to take Chen Xi to North 234th Street. It had become much more prosperous than before, but in terms of tax revenue, it had not increased.
How many.
Of course, Chen Xi has seen the huge potential in it. After all, Liu Ye can't make a line statistical chart, but Chen Xi can clearly draw the almost exponential increase rate, which is enough to make anyone who has studied mathematics go crazy! What a pity!
It was the end of the Han Dynasty at this time, and he did not understand how terrifying the exponential growth rate was. Even Liu Ye, who claimed to be a master of arithmetic, did not see the astonishing increase, but only saw the gap with before.
"Zijian, how good is this one?" Chen Xi asked casually. He had told every acquaintance to buy the stores in these streets in advance. As for whether they would buy it or not, it had nothing to do with Chen Xi. He only knew that,
Soon the land prices here will increase at an alarming rate. When it becomes a world market, even the rental value will be shockingly high.
Hua Xiong didn't understand at all. Besides, he had just fought a big war and he still had a lot of money and food. It was only a hundred guan, so he nodded and approved Chen Xi's proposal nonchalantly.
By the way, in addition to the three places Chen Xi bought for himself, the entire street is under Liu Bei's name. Although Liu Bei may not remember what Chen Xi said when Fenggao was not built yet, the entire street of stores is under Liu Bei's name.
They are all used by Chen Xi for fun. They are numbered North Street. Chen Xi really doesn't want to calculate how much a street in a world-class market is worth.
"Tomorrow's tax revenue will probably catch up to usual times." Chen Xi slowly closed the car window while watching the businessmen going by, "It's boring. I really underestimated the suppression of businessmen in the Han Dynasty. After all, the aristocratic family also
Need the money!”
In just fifteen days, and only half a month since Chen Xi opened his mouth, the number of merchants in Fenggao City has increased several times, and the number of transactions has increased significantly. This is because many merchants just came along the way and did not bring too many supplies.
Should this be said that the suppression of merchants in the Han Dynasty was too strong, or that Chen Xi's reputation was indeed good, or that the Zhen family and Mi family had indeed large connections. In short, the merchants came, and that was enough.
Chen Xi's business skills are enough to make all the merchants stay away. When there are enough merchants, Feng Gao can buy any materials he wants, including contraband, but Chen Xi won't mind. After all, these contraband are in the service of Feng Gao.
Chen Xi never minded acquiring high-trading, iron weapons and arrows.
"Zijian, am I bored?" The carriage stopped at the door of Chen's house. Chen Xi jumped out of the carriage casually, "Haha, I'm really bored. I don't want to go to the Government Affairs Office recently. It's just about money and power."
"Military advisor, I don't understand what you are saying." Hua Xiong scratched the back of his head honestly, with an innocent look on his face.
Chen Xi glanced at Hua Xiong and waved his hand, indicating that he could leave. Hua Xiong's home was only separated by a wall from Chen Xi's outer courtyard. After all, Hua Xiong also had another identity, that is, as Chen Xi's bodyguard.
Looking at the slowly closing door of the Chen Mansion, Hua Xiong sighed. How could he not understand? Even if he didn't understand, could Li You and the others not understand? The tax revenue of Qingzhou and Taishan has dropped by one-third recently. This is huge.
The gap was entirely caused by Chen Xi. For this reason, Feng
Words and rumors are flowing in the Government Affairs Department. You must know that the entire Government Affairs Department is not just the office of Lu Su and others. There are too many people in the backyard room handling government affairs. Otherwise, people like Chen Xi will be exhausted and can't handle it.
I can't finish so many political affairs.
Chen Xi has reached this point when he is less than ten years old. It would be strange if no one is jealous. Lu Su and others are talented people, and they are not stingy people. At the same time, Chen Xi does not make any mistakes. Others want to catch one
There was no way to catch anyone, so naturally even if the officials in the backyard had any jealousy, they could only suppress it in their hearts and not say it out.
Now Chen Xi's behavior is obviously wrong in their eyes, and to put it worse, he is self-willed and arrogant. Looking at the sharp decline in tax revenue in Qingzhou and Mount Tai, these old officials finally broke out. After all,
Chen Xi is old enough that the people below have no hope. He is too young, so young that their sons have died, but Chen Xi is still alive!
In addition to Chen Xi's previous actions in Runan, Yuzhou, under the leadership of some thoughtful people, the entire scholar-officials under his rule have begun to attack Chen Xi.
Five days ago, when Chen Xi went to the Government Affairs Office, a lower-level official spoke righteously against Chen Xi's willfulness, scolding Chen Xi for being young and ignorant, arrogant and unwilling to listen to others, and then Chen Xi insulted him in front of everyone.
Fighting with a stick, Chen Xi finally understood what was going on.
Later, Liu Bei personally stepped forward to suppress the whole matter, so that those officials who were ready to take action could not take advantage of the opportunity! But after that, even if Chen Xi didn't pay special attention, he could feel the undercurrent.
Chen Xi knew very well that these things were related to Liu Ye and Lu Su's laissez-faire. They also had their own resentments, but the fact that they did not add fuel to the flames was enough to illustrate their character.
However, Chen Xi had nothing to say when something like this broke out. Whether it was adding fuel to the flames or letting it go, it was nothing more than a joke in the end. Maybe Liu Ye and Lu Su just had good intentions to persuade you to turn back, but some things were open to laughter.
It's very difficult to control. I think Liu Ye and Lu Su also have a headache!
In short, Chen Xi has never gone to the Government Affairs Office since then. As for the rumors that are spreading more and more outside, and the more and more massive crusade, Chen Xi can only ignore it. The facts are coming out soon, and he is not in a hurry.
Let him go!
As for this gloomy look and this solitary attitude, Chen Xi hasn't always been like this before, and a change of one or two years is unlikely to make him completely lose his old habits.
"Xuan De Gong?" Chen Xi pushed the door open and saw Liu Bei sitting alone at the stone table under the tree with two wine cups and a few dishes of side dishes. He was obviously waiting for Chen Xi to come back, "Thank you, Xuande Gong. You have been waiting for a long time."
.”
"Sit down, Zichuan." Liu Bei pointed to the stone bench made by Chen Xi and said casually, "Can you still bear it?"
"No problem, Mr. Xuande doesn't need to worry. The current situation can be reversed in at most three days. By then, Fenggao's taxes will gradually reach four to five times the current level." Chen Xi said calmly, "I haven't fallen down.
Mr. Xuande didn’t need to take action before, so there was no need to worry about me.”
"Drink this glass of wine!" Liu Beiping raised the wine cup and drank it all. "Zichuan has a good rest. If you can't bear it anymore, take out my sword. If there is still nothing you can do." Liu Bei reached out and patted Chen Xi's shoulder, "
