It has been a week since Nanzhao returned to Shengzhou.

Hurriedly escaped from the palace, went to the Huang family and explained to the mother and daughter of the Huang family, and then hurriedly returned to Dongshui Shengzhou.

This trip to Nanzhao can be described as unexpected for Chen Chen, who did not expect that Nanzhao actually had a coup d'état, but the general direction was good.

The crown prince of Nanzhao has ascended the throne under the persecution of his grandfather and mother, and the power is fully controlled by the prime minister. According to the information inquired, although Nanzhao wanted to attack Dongshui, he had to fight with Chen Guo under the strong attack of Chen Guo.

The current situation is that Chen Guo and Nanzhao, the two major powers in the Eastern Continent, continue to have a strong dialogue, and the old emperor secretly convened people and decided to fight back.

Looking at the news handed over by the spies, Chen Chen smiled slightly: "It's finally time to fight, Commander Wei, you have come back from Chen State, see who can win?" ”

Commander Wei lowered his head and thought for a while and said: "According to the minister's humble opinion, the strength of Nanzhao is far greater than that of Chen State, and I am afraid that it is a matter of time before Chen State is defeated. ”

Chen Chen nodded helplessly and smiled: "Yes, Nanzhao is really a magical place, everyone there believes in wizards, if you fight hand-to-hand, it is almost a posture of playing with your life." However, if Chen Guo is defeated, then we are the next to suffer, and when we do not have the strength to fight against Nanzhao, Chen Guo cannot be defeated. ”

Commander Wei nodded: "Chen Guo is in the same vein as us, and if he is defeated, it will ......."

"If you lose, you will be defeated, but you can't lose early, you send someone to tell Shangguan Yu. When necessary, the financial resources secretly support Chen Guo, and Chen Guo and Nanzhao must be caught in a tug-of-war, and the two parties must reach a balance. "What Chen Chen is doing at the moment is a continental equilibrium strategy, the two sides cannot be too strong, and only in this way can Dongshui fish in troubled waters.

Commander Wei nodded in agreement and left immediately. Chen Chen held a notebook in his hand and wrote and drew on it.

At this moment, Dongshui is stable, and the economy is a bit surplus, at least the wealth is comparable to other big countries. At present, Dongshui is suffering in terms of army building and land area.

Army building can be done slowly, but the land area is really difficult. Now Dongshui has the Dongshui Peninsula, several islands and Shengzhou, a fief given by Chen Biao, the king of Xiaoyao, and the others are oceans.

The biggest problem in Dongshui at the moment is that it has a large population and a relatively high unemployment rate. After Dongshui relaxed restrictions on commerce and established a path for commercial development, wealthy businessmen poured into Dongshui. In addition, since the outbreak of the Great Power War, the surrounding residents have also moved to Dongshui with their families, and for a while, this originally desolate place has immediately become the most densely populated area.

It's a hodgepodge of so many people to eat, education, and racial strife. In addition, Dongshui's recent polarization is also quite serious, businessmen and high-ranking officials and nobles have monopolized huge wealth, while commoners are homeless, looking at these problems, Chen Chen has a headache in his heart, he has really been busy recently.

After quickly implementing and formulating Dongshui's development policy, Chen Chen immediately fell asleep on the wound bed.

The next day, Chen Chen got up early in the morning, had breakfast and took a few people to the street to observe the situation here.

Although it is relatively close to the border of Chen, the refugees from the influx do not stay here, but continue to go straight east to the Dongshui Peninsula.

The people on the street are dressed simply, the buildings on both sides are quite simple, most of them are thatched houses, and the richest merchant is only a two-story teahouse. There are all kinds of bare-bottomed children running around the streets, and there are countless open defecation and the like. There is no city at all, more like a miniature version of a township.

When I came to the second floor of the teahouse, I immediately came up to greet him: "This master, what do you want?" Hey, hey, hey! ”

Chen Chen took the list and looked at it, frowning: "Boiled water, noodle soup, wild vegetable soup, this is your signature tea?" ”

Looking back, the signature dish is steamed buns, boiled wild vegetables. And then, no more.

Xiao Er sighed: "Alas, this lord, I didn't say it, originally we were the fief of the prince of Xiaoyao, and all our supplies came from the Chen region, but since the prince gave the fief to Dongshui, guess what?" ”

"Chen Guo directly cut off our food source, and the Dongshui Peninsula is also too busy to take care of itself. Well, recently, since the Dongshui Peninsula has developed into commercial wealth, we thought that we could follow the light, but as a result, there was no dime, do you say that he can be a prince like this? We're starving to death here, and he doesn't care. Xiao Er became more and more angry, so he simply sat down and continued to complain.

"Yes, this master, I think you seem to have come from Dongshui, right? We in Shengzhou don't want to be as rich as the Dongshui Peninsula, but at least give us a way to live, right? If King Wencheng doesn't have the ability to control us, then don't be our prince. A guest said indignantly to Chen Chen.

"That is, our wish is very small, that is, to live, obviously they are the two territories of King Wencheng, why is there such a big difference?" Another guest also sat down.

For a while, all the people gathered towards Chen Chen, and all kinds of questions reacted to Chen Chen.

Listening to the reaction of the people, looking at the people who were about to rebel, the change on Chen Chen's face was wonderful, first sunny to cloudy, then cloudy to cloudy, then cloudy to rainy, and finally directly covered with dark clouds.

"Dongshui sent a lot of silver taels to help Shengzhou build and improve their lives, why don't you know the use of these silver taels? Didn't get a penny? After listening to everyone, Chen Chen signaled everyone to be quiet and asked angrily.

"Does Dongshui have any money? We didn't see it, huh? ”

"Yes, the buildings in Shengzhou are even worse, and now the food source is a problem."

"That's right, not a single copper plate. What the hell is this confused prince going to do, if you don't want to care, let's just say it, we will go directly to Chen Guo. ”

Listening to everyone's discussions, the fire in Chen Chen's heart could no longer be suppressed, and he hoped that he could improve the situation and infrastructure of Shengzhou so that he could vigorously develop the industrial center in the future, but as a result, the local officials were so inactive.

"Okay, folks, everyone be quiet, everything will be fine, go, go to the government to theorize." As soon as Chen Chen slapped the table, he was about to rush down and kill this group of officials.

"Forget it, it's not that we haven't looked for it, we were directly suppressed by the government, alas, it's difficult for the people." The owner of the tea shop grabbed Chen Chen and smiled bitterly.

Chen Chen sneered: "This king wants to see how capable he is." ”

"This king?"

"Lord Wang."

Everyone looked at Chen Chen in surprise.

"Let's go, this king will clean up this group of officials today and give you justice." Chen Chen waved his hand and rushed down.

When he looked back, everyone was watching, but no one was following him.

"Uh." Chen Chen was embarrassed all of a sudden, why, did he lose the hearts of the people so quickly?
