When Tong Ruoran opened his eyes, he felt something was wrong with Chengchen's style. He stood up and saw that the bright sunlight had already flooded the window sill, and the figure in front of the desk was still writing furiously.
The strong line of the jaw, coupled with the lingering smoke of the incense burner, made her feel that the morning sun was particularly bright.
"Why am I here, sir?"
"Drink too much."
"Then am I drunk and crazy?"
"No." Chen Tian caught a glimpse of her face full of anxiety, as if he didn't believe it, lowered his head and added, "Really no."
"Then you must have taken advantage of someone's danger!" Tong Ruoran just wanted to get up, lifted the quilt and quickly tucked it in, huddled in the corner and rubbed angrily, "I feel so much pain here!"
"where?"
"You! You..." Tong Ruoran pulled out a pillow from behind his waist and smashed it against the desk.
Chen Tian dodged sideways and smiled: "If you don't want to sleep well, you have to tease me, okay?"
After saying this, he clapped his hands to summon a team of maids who had been waiting outside the door, and brought in a lot of breakfast. The rice and mulberry leaf porridge was especially soft, glutinous and delicious, neither cold nor hot.
Chen Tian fed her half a bowl, and then picked up a cup of Zishan Mint Hangover Soup: "Drink, do you want me to feed you this too?"

"I'm too lazy to move." Tong Ruoran tilted his head, his fine eyelashes fluttering, and the corners of his mouth were raised in a coquettish and carefree way.
Chen Tian had no choice but to send the maid away and let her lean in his arms, blowing on the spoon and saying:
"The aunts and wives of Xianyin Pavilion who came back to visit relatives, do you still get along well with them?"
"That's it."
"That's not what you said last night. He looks like a villain who has succeeded, but he looks like a landlord who has become rich."
"...Have I ever said these drunken words?" Tong Ruoran was greatly embarrassed and excitedly asked for confirmation.
Chen Tian hurriedly raised the water cup above his head, for fear of spilling it on her: "Well, my long-cherished wish has come true. I talked about it happily all night and screamed very loudly."
"Oh!" Tong Ruoran exclaimed, turned her head and buried herself in his arms, bit her chest, and quickly said a few words from between her teeth, "Stop talking, stop talking, it's so embarrassing!"
"You did what you did, but you came to bite me?" Chen Tian couldn't help but hissed.
He winked and rubbed the teeth marks in front of his body, and the water cup was still poured on the bed, soaking a large area, and the scene was once chaotic.
After the fun.
Tong Ruoran covered her mouth and smiled softly.
"Didn't Sir ask Fuluo to deal with the half box of jewelry? Yesterday's reception banquet was all sold out at once."
"Good fellow, fellow senior and junior fellow apprentice, you are also plotting against me. It's so bad for you."
In fact, Chen Tian didn't need to think too deeply. Those female relatives who had been kicked out of their homes would come from thousands of miles away, and they would bring some gold and silver with them. At the same time, they would inevitably express their gratitude.
Fuluo was there again to sell jewelry. Of course the girls understood what he meant, and all the purchases for more than a hundred people were sold out. "I didn't force them, it was all of their own free will. Besides, even if it's a calculation, it's much better than their heartless man, right?"
?" Tong Ruoran shook his head, beat Chen Tian's chest and said, "All these gold and silver have been given to the city lord's palace.
Are you still talking about me?"
Chen Tian was overjoyed and patted her back lovingly. Her long and silky hair was as smooth as silk, smooth and warm.
While chatting, he might as well talk about the banknotes in general and want to hear her analysis.
Tong Ruoran pondered for a moment and suddenly said: "This is a very profitable business, but the promotion process requires a lot of professional talents. Sir, has it been solved?"
The popularization of banknotes in banks does require a lot of manpower. If it is left to the private sector, according to the business environment of Yongtai City, many skilled accountants can actually be produced.
But.
This bank was obviously financed and built by the city lord's government, so there couldn't be any mistakes. It had to be spread to the millions of people in Yongtai City as soon as possible. Obviously, it couldn't wait.
"Do you have a suitable candidate?" Chen Tian asked.
Tong Ruoran thought for a while and said seriously: "If the god can trust me, Senior Sister Hang Qingchen can give it a try."
"She is married to the young master of the Linjiang Formation. She has managed the property all year round and has great abilities. She is also the first disciple to respond to the Xianyin Pavilion's order."
Chen Tian thought about it again and again, and said as if: "I can understand your intention to win over the disciples, but the matter of banknotes is not a trivial matter. Now that Hang Qingchen takes over, he can only help Lian Zixin with auxiliary work."
"No problem, I will explain the pros and cons to her." Tong Ruoran nodded.
The two technical backbones who will lead the overall situation have been finalized, and Chen Tian is not too worried about the underlying architecture.
Because there are many scholars in Jixia Academy, there are always a few talented people who are enlightened. As long as they promise to serve as officials, they will work hard to study even the most difficult ways of heaven.
"What's the name of the bank?"
"I haven't thought about it." Chen Tian shook his head, "You can pick one."
"Ancheng Bank, how about it?"
"Then it's settled." Chen Tian nodded slightly and added, "Are you busy lately? If possible, help Lian Zixin to share more government affairs. Yesterday I saw his haggard appearance and felt like he was going to die suddenly."
"He has to do everything by himself. He just asked for it." Even though Tong Ruoran said so, he immediately put on his clothes and started processing official documents with Chen Tian.
In the past, there were only about 10,000 people in Yongtai City, and there were not many things going on. But then a new Huangdan City was built, and the Beicaoxi Caravan continued their efforts to attract refugees. Now the combined population of the two cities is about to exceed one million.
This 100-fold increase in population has brought about more than 100-fold problems.
Because even if only one in a thousand people is dissatisfied, it is still a big deal. After countless side details are magnified, one incident after another happens one after another.
For example.
Gui Deng sent back the last news, saying that Gusu City's 500,000 servant army was ready to move and seemed to be planning to mobilize, but there was no sign yet of what Bing Feng was referring to.
This message is just a daily report.
But since it is a secret report submitted to the city lord's palace, which one is not the one that the people below tried to figure out but failed to get the true meaning, and finally had to be handed to the top?
As the city lord, Chen Tian had to take care of it, and he even did not hesitate to read the previous secret reports and continuously summarized effective information from them.
This workload is extremely terrifying, much like a female worker picking out threads from a mess and ultimately weaving a piece of brocade.
Lianzi Xin, who was extremely talented, was exhausted from all the official work, and Chen Tian didn't have time to go there. He sat with Tong Ruoran for most of the day, and was so busy that he didn't even bother to eat.
"There is nothing to fear from these 500,000 servants. They can only fight against the wind. If they encounter a siege, they will definitely retreat."
"But no matter how strong Yongtai City's defenses are, they cannot let the flames of war reach their own territory."
"The Nanxiang Army has not yet been truly tempered, and now it is time for them to see blood. Send my military order to make the following arrangements."
"First, step up scout training and prepare to take over from Ghost Lantern to spy on the enemy on the frontal battlefield. At the same time, order all the forts to give timely warnings and respond at any time."
"Second, we can mobilize 8,000 infantrymen from the Nanxiang Army to march to Daigui Mountain and intercept the servant troops along the way to ensure that the land route to the front line is always smooth."
"Third, the 20,000 mercenaries fired by Qianji Pavilion will be divided into ten batches and transported to the front line in preparation for receiving the spirit stones."
Tong Ruoran wrote down the words word for word, and suddenly asked: "Does the navy need to coordinate the attack?" "No, last time they also fought with the dragon and tiger cavalry. After a tragic victory, their vitality was severely damaged. Let them rest for some time.
As long as the normal waterway is guaranteed, it will be enough."
