Chapter 206: The Darkness Before Dawn

Since Chen Xi gave the order that day, he would appear on the gate tower of Fenggao 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, sighed, turned his head and said to Hua Xiong, he is now in need of guards, and being nameless also has its own advantages.

"Strategist, please." Hua Xiong glanced at Chen Xi puzzled, but didn't ask anything, just made a gesture of please, and then followed Chen Xi down from the city wall.

"Zijian, give me one hundred yuan and five baht, and I'll buy you an inheritance, and it's time for you to start a family." When Chen Xi walked down the steps, he was in a trance, as if he had thought of something, and turned his head to Hua Xiong and said.

"Oh." Hua Xiong nodded, he didn't think much about the industry at all, after all, he had been living by seizures before, and he was living well.

Chen Xi got into the carriage, Hua Xiong turned over and took Chen Xi to North 234th Street with a team of soldiers, which had become much more prosperous than before, but in terms of taxes, it had not increased much compared to before.

Of course, Chen Xi has already seen the huge potential, after all, Liu Ye can't make a line statistical chart, but Chen Xi can clearly draw the kind of degree that rises almost exponentially, which is enough to make anyone who has studied mathematics crazy about the rise! It's a pity that this time is the end of the Han Dynasty, and I don't understand how terrifying the exponential growth is, even Liu Ye, who claims to be a master of arithmetic, didn't see the amazing increase, but only saw the gap with before.

"Zijian. Is this room good? Chen Xi asked casually, he had told every acquaintance to buy the storefronts of these streets in advance, and it had nothing to do with Chen Xi whether they bought it or not. All he knew was that soon the price of land here would increase at an alarming rate, and when it became a world bazaar, even the rental value would 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 in his hands, just a hundred yuan. So he nodded nonchalantly and approved Chen Xi's mention.

It is said that in addition to the three places that Chen Xi bought for himself, the entire other streets are under Liu Bei's name, although Liu Bei may not remember what Chen Xi said when Fenggao was not built. But the storefronts of that entire street are all used by Chen Xi to play, numbered North First Street, how much is the street worth of the world-level market, Chen Xi really doesn't want to calculate.

"Tomorrow's tax revenue will probably catch up with usual." Chen Xi watched the businessmen coming and going and slowly closed the car window. "It's boring. I really underestimated the suppression of merchants in the Han Dynasty, after all, the family also needs money! ”

In just fifteen days, it has only been half a month since Chen Xi opened his mouth, and the number of merchants in Fenggaocheng has increased several times, and the number of transactions has increased greatly, which is still because many merchants just came by and did not bring too many supplies.

This should be said that the suppression of merchants in the Han Dynasty was too strong, or should it be said that Chen Xi's reputation is really good, or the Zhen family and the Mi family are indeed huge, in short, the merchants are here. That's enough.

Chen Xi's commercial law is enough to make all the merchants come and not leave, and when there are enough merchants, Feng Gao is enough to buy any goods they want. Including contraband, but Chen Xi won't mind, these contraband are traded in Fenggao after all, and Chen Xi never minds buying iron arrows or something.

"Zijian, am I bored." The carriage stopped at the door of Chen's house, and Chen Xi jumped out of the carriage casually, "Hehe, it's really boring, I don't want to go to the government affairs hall recently, it's just money." ”

"Strategist, I don't understand what you say." Hua Xiong scratched the back of his head honestly, looking innocent.

Chen Xi glanced at Hua Xiong and waved his hand, signaling that the other party could leave, Hua Xiong's home was only separated by a wall from Chen Xi's outer courtyard, after all, Hua Xiong still had an identity, that is, as Chen Xi's guard.

Looking at the slowly closing gate of the Chen Mansion, Hua Xiong sighed, can he not understand? Even if he doesn't understand, Li You, can they not understand? Qingzhou and Taishan's recent tax revenue has dropped by one-third, this huge gap is completely made by Chen Xi, for this reason rumors flow in the government affairs hall, you must know that the entire government affairs hall is not only Lu Su and others in the office, there are too many people in the backyard room to deal with government affairs together, otherwise Chen Xi and these people will not be able to deal with so many political affairs.

Chen Xi has come to this point with less than ten years old, it would be strange if no one was jealous, Lu Su and the others were talented, and they were not stingy people, and at the same time, Chen Xi did not have any mistakes and omissions, others couldn't catch a handle if they wanted to, naturally even if those officials in the backyard were jealous, they could only suppress it in their hearts and not say it.

Now Chen Xi's actions are obviously wrong in their eyes, and to say something ugly, that is, stubborn, pampered and arrogant, looking at the drastic decline in taxes in the entire Qingzhou and Mount Tai, these old officials finally broke out, after all, Chen Xi's age is enough to make the people below see no hope, too young, so young that their sons are dead, Chen Xi is still alive!

Coupled with Chen Xi's previous actions in Runan, Yuzhou, under the leadership of some well-intentioned people, the entire Shizi under his rule has begun to crusade against Chen Xi.

Five days ago, when Chen Xi went to the government affairs hall, there was a lower-level official who crusaded against Chen Xi's stubbornness and self-use, scolding Chen Xi for being young and ignorant, pampered and arrogant, and not listening to people, and then Chen Xi beat him out in front of everyone.

After that, Liu Bei personally came forward to suppress the whole thing, which didn't let those officials who were about to take advantage of the opportunity! But after that, even if Chen Xi didn't go out of his way to observe, he could feel that undercurrent surging.

Chen Xi knew very well that these things were also related to Liu Ye and Lu Su's indulgence, and they also had their own grievances, but the fact that they didn't add fuel to the fire was enough to explain their temperament.

But Chen Xi has nothing to say about this kind of thing, whether it is to add fuel to the fire, or to let it go, in the end, it is just a joke, maybe Liu Ye and Lu Su just have the good intention of persuading Jun to turn back, but some things are difficult to control when they open their breath, and Liu Ye and Lu Su are also having a headache!

In short, Chen Xi has not gone to the government affairs hall since then, as for the rumors that are spreading more and more outside, as well as the more and more huge crusade, Chen Xi can only ignore it, the facts are almost out, and he is not in a hurry to do so, let him go!

As for this gloomy look, as well as this lonely posture, Chen Xi has not always been like this before, and it is impossible for him to completely lose his habits after a year or two.

"Xuande Gong?" Chen Xi pushed the door in, only to see Liu Bei sitting alone at the stone table under the tree, with two wine cups and a few side dishes, obviously waiting for Chen Xi to come back, "There is Lao Xuande Gong who has been waiting for a long time." ”

"Zichuan, sit down." Liu Bei pointed to the stone bench that Chen Xi ordered to make zuò and said casually, "Can you still bear it?" ”

"No problem, Xuande Gong doesn't need to worry, there will be three more days at most to reverse the current situation, and then Fenggao's tax will gradually reach four to five times the current one." Chen Xi said calmly, "Xuande Gong doesn't need to make a move before I fall, don't worry about me." ”

"Dry this wine!" Liu Beiping raised the wine cup and drank it to the end, "Zichuan has a good rest, if you can't bear it, take out my sword, if you still can't do it." Liu Bei stretched out his hand and patted Chen Xi's shoulder, "And me!" (To be continued......)
