The number of soul thinkers is not large, generally speaking, a small city like Black Rock City will not have a soul ponder chapter here, this is the privilege of big cities, but Udil has a great affection for his hometown, so he insists on staying here and refuses to go to a better place to develop.

Now that he's dead, if the city doesn't have an incumbent within a month, the chapter will be abolished. As a soul thinker and a student of Udil, it is reasonable for Chen Xiansong to inherit the president of the branch, and if he does not take office, then no one else can sit in this position, and Frances cannot be allowed to be a branch president, he is still too young to be suitable.

The branch president of the association can only be held by a person who thinks deeply about the soul, and there is no such thing as an acting president. Therefore, it is impossible for ordinary people to sit in this position, and if anyone really dares to do this, the end will be very tragic.

Chen Xiansong took Bai Min and the little guy Frances to the branch, and they were warmly welcomed before they entered the door, which is normal, the salary of the association is very high, and it is more than enough to support the family, and the people who work here have an invisible superior status, and they also have a lot of face when they go out, even the little nobles have to speak well when they see them, but if the branch is abolished, then all this will come to naught.

Udil's study is untouched, it is very clean inside, someone comes to clean it every day, Chen Xiansong pushed open the window, let the sun shine into the room, looking at this familiar scenery, but the familiar person is gone, his heart is full of gloom. The little guy was very well-behaved when she stood aside, she knew that the teacher was in a bad mood, and she didn't want to make noise and make people obstructed.

"Your Excellency, if you need anything, just mention it." The person who spoke was Pilger Russell, the vice president of the area and a big businessman. Part of the association's funds are allocated by the general association. The other part is raised by the vice president. Don't think that the work of such a vice president is very hard, there is an association behind the back, and there are always a lot of preferential treatments when doing business.

Originally, Chen Xiansong didn't want to be a president, he was not interested in things like power, not to mention that now the Soul Thinkers Association is split, and becoming the president is even more troublesome, but Udil's last words left in the book, I sincerely hope that he can become the president and protect and take care of the people of Black Rock City.

"How much liquidity is left in the association right now." Chan Hyun-song sat in a chair. Asked.

"In addition to the mantissa number, there are 290,000 gold coins in the association, more than half of which are the sum of the money left by the various nobles in the association." Pilger is a man with short brown hair and a Chinese face, and he looks very stable: "The 10,000 gold coins that should have been distributed by the general meeting last month have not arrived. In addition to this, there is an investment that has not yet been collected. It is estimated that there will be about 6,000 gold coins. ”

The funds of the General Assembly have not arrived. It should have something to do with the struggle between the two factions. Chen Xiansong hummed and said, "In other words, the funds in the association are expected to be sufficient now, right?" ”

Pilger sighed: "This money is all saved by the elder's hard work, and he is usually reluctant to spend it, he always says that he has no ability." First, he is not good at knowledge reconstruction, and secondly, he does not know how to build cities, so he can only save his money and wait until one day someone smarter than him will inherit his position...... Your Excellency, when you became a student of the Elder. He was really happy, and I heard that he was so excited that he couldn't sleep well for days. ”

Chen Xiansong was silent, the sun was blazing outside the house, and the sound of cicadas was chirping, and after a while, he asked, "Does the teacher leave any unfinished projects behind?" ”

Pilger shook his head.

"Then it's business as usual." Chen Xiansong opened a notebook with this year on the table, which recorded some messy and whimsical ideas of Udil, and in his eyes, these things were very childish and almost impossible to realize. It turned out that the teacher also had such a side, Chen Xiansong smiled slightly, and continued: "I just took over the association, and I don't understand a lot of things, so I won't give orders randomly. ”

This is a prudent move, very correct behavior, Pilger breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it is a good thing that the association has found a successor, but young people are easy to be impulsive and a little impatient, he is afraid that Chen Xiansong will make a decision as soon as he comes to the association, but now it seems that the new president, like the old president, is a very stable person, and it can only be said that he is worthy of being a master and apprentice.

"President, when is your succession banquet scheduled?" Pilger asked.

"It's up to you, I don't know any of these things." Chen Xiansong stood up and walked to the side of the bookshelf, where was a large map of Black Rock City, because the current cartographic skills were not up to par, Chen Xiansong looked at it for a long time before finding Gray Stone Village from above.

"Then it's set for tonight." Pilger said, "There's plenty of time to make invitations now, and there are plenty of food villages in the association, so there shouldn't be any problem with having a big banquet." ”

"It's still up to you." Chen Xiansong looked at the map for a while, pointed to a blank place on it and said, "Vice President, where is this place, I can see from the map, this seems to be a flat land." ”

Pilger came over, looked at it for a moment, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, it's a swamp west of the city, and there isn't any river nearby, but it's wet all year round, and it barely grows except some moss. President, if there is nothing to do, I will go out and prepare first, after all, your succession banquet can be made more grand. ”

"It doesn't have to be so troublesome." Chen Xiansong replied.

Pilger said seriously: "President, that's not good, you are the representative of our branch, if the banquet passes hastily, how will the other nobles think of us...... It's not just for your majesty, it's for the honor of our entire club. Now there are some problems at the headquarters of our association, but the more this happens, the more our chapter will have to hold your succession banquet well, and we must not let other nobles see our jokes. ”

It seems that this vice president is also a very responsible person, Chen Xiansong chuckled: "Well, then hold a grand event, it doesn't matter if you spend more money, it's a big deal that I will earn it back after a while." ”

Pilger's eyes lit up, he knew very well what the new president was capable of. Whether it is a waterwheel or an out-of-season vegetable, it is quite a remarkable thing, if the branch can get the production method of the waterwheel, and then let him come in and operate the business, and not make millions of gold coins in ten years, he, the vice president, will immediately step down.

Slightly suppressed his excitement, Pilger bowed slightly, and then went out to prepare for the banquet. He felt that he would have the opportunity to discuss the waterwheel business with the new president in the future, and he was not in a hurry now.

Chen Xiansong stayed in the study for a while, then left the association, got into a carriage, and followed the direction indicated on the map to the swamp west of the city. Balff was a coachman, and he was familiar with Black Rock City, and after hearing about the target location, he quickly drove Chen Xiansong to his destination in a horse-drawn carriage.

It was indeed a barren swamp as Pilger said, and the carriage was parked far away, so he did not dare to go any further, and Chen Xiansong stood on a hard ground, and threw a stone far away, only to see the stone sink into the mud with a thud. It is true that such land cannot be converted into farmland.

Chen Xiansong was very disappointed, when he returned to the city, he sat in the carriage, lying on the side of the window in a daze, and saw a mountain, the terrain was not very steep, there was a white belt bending down the mountain, and the carriage gradually approached along the road, and then he found that the white belt in the mountain was a mountain stream, and there was a mountain spring gushing out on the top of the mountain, and it became such a landscape.

It's a pity that it's not on the ground, otherwise if there is a water source, it would be possible to reclaim a fertile field that can be cultivated. Chen Xiansong was about to sigh when a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his head...... He remembers that in the 22nd century there was a 'terraced nature reserve' where the rice was planted in the mountains.

Thinking of this, he asked Balf to drive the carriage to the side of the mountain, jumped out of the car, picked some soil at the foot of the mountain to show Bai Min, and asked, "Xiao Min, what do you think of making a terrace on this mountain?" There are mountain springs here, and as long as the aqueduct is built, I don't think it's a big problem. ”

Bai Min analyzed the soil for a while, checked the slope of the mountain, and replied, "Feasible." ”

Chen Xiansong also felt that it was feasible, but with Bai Min's affirmation, he felt that this thing was definitely feasible. However, this mountain is the private territory of Black Rock City, and it should belong to the city lord. If you want to build terraces on it, you have to buy it first, so you have to go to the castle lord's mansion.

About half an hour later, Chen Xiansong's carriage stopped in front of the City Lord's Mansion. After reporting his identity, the guards at the door went in to report the news with some trepidation, and it didn't take long for Ze Longer to come out, and he said a little strangely: "Didn't the association send a banquet invitation just now, why did you let you come to run in person." ”

"There are some things I want to talk to you about in the City Lord's Mansion." Chen Xiansong smiled.

"Ms. Bai is still so beautiful." Ze Long'er bowed to Bai Min slightly, his eyes fell on the little guy, and then he looked at Chen Xiansong with contempt, and sneered: "There are two beautiful Bai ladies, they can't satisfy you, and now they are still starting to toss the little girl, you are still not human." ”

Although Chen Xiansong and Ze Longer had some conflicts at the beginning, but later the two released their previous suspicions, and the relationship was not bad, and it was not uncommon to occasionally make some harmless jokes.

As soon as the little guy heard this, he happily held his little face with both hands, and said shyly: "It's okay, I can ...... whatever the teacher tosses."

Ze Longer was stunned for a few seconds, then looked at Chen Xiansong and said, "Teacher? This girl is your student? It seems that you will not have a good time in the future. ”

Chen Xiansong smiled bitterly: "I'm mentally prepared for this, don't you want to talk about anything else, don't you invite us in?" Anyway, you'll have to treat me to a fruit bar first. ”

"Please!" Zelonger leaned sideways gracefully. (To be continued......)
