City Hall Meeting Room.

Chen Xiao held the first plenary meeting.

Arya, the secretary, Luo Vinica, the director of the Economic Development Office, Zhao Geyan, the director of the Commerce and Trade Department, and the main cadres of the territory, such as Lux, Sapu and Rashana, were all present.

Regarding the fact that Lux directly took the Grizzly Bear Castle, not only Chen Xiao said that he was surprised, but everyone else was confused.

He was just going to find those bandits and bandits to train his soldiers, but he didn't expect Lux to be so good that he would capture Grizzly Fort without saying a word.

Grizzly Bear's territory is adjacent to Blackstone Castle and is more than twice as large as Blackstone Castle.

It is mostly hilly and forested, and its population is larger than that of the original Blackstone Fort, but compared to the current population of Blackstone Fort, it is a big difference.

Chen Xiao was hesitating whether to include Grizzly Bear Fort in the scope of development.

"What do you think, Rovinica?"

Chen Xiao looked at Luo Venica, this girl became more and more beautiful and moving, her aura became more and more powerful and stable, and her every move looked calm and confident.

Rovinica groaned slightly and said, "My lord, I think it's better to keep the status quo. ”

"You explain. Chen Xiao said.

"On the one hand, our territory is still in the development period, and the funds are not enough, and if we scatter our efforts, it will not be good for our development. ”

From her own point of view, Rovinica states all kinds of pros and cons, and her vision and insight are admirable.

Chen Xiao nodded, feeling that Rovinica's analysis was not wrong.

However, Chen Xiao disagrees with this conservative development direction.

According to Rovinica, only by firmly grasping the development of the territory is what the lord should do.

In fact, like Chen Xiao, who unreservedly invests his money in the development of the territory, there are really not many people who will do this.

The ultimate goal of the lord to manage the territory is to collect money by enslaving the people, and Chen Xiao, a hard-working guy, is thinking about how to make money every day in order to develop the territory.

Although his alchemy products brought him huge profits, in the blink of an eye, the money earned had not yet been heated, and it was gone in the blink of an eye.

The funding gap for development territories is a bottomless pit.

Although the steel refineries are now starting to receive orders, and the coal smelters can also bring in good income, it is still a drop in the bucket.

"We need to raise an agent to run Fort Grizzly instead of us. Chen Xiao thought for a moment and continued: "The agent must be our people. ”

"Lux, this agent, you will be the one, how about it?"

Lux was slightly stunned, then shook her head.

"I'm not going to do it. ”

Staying in the place of Grizzly Castle, Lux couldn't have imagined.

She's not the kind of person who can manage her territory well.

If she wants to fight and kill, just be Chen Xiao's personal bodyguard, and manage all kinds of boring things in the territory, she can't do it.

Chen Xiao is now busy as a dog every day, and he is a human board.

Chen Xiao was speechless at Lux's crisp attitude.

"Rovinica, what do you think?" Chen Xiao looked at Rovinica.

"The agent must be a trustworthy person," said Rovinica. I think Zhao Geyan is very good, he is a capable person. ”

Zhao Geyan immediately shook his head and said with a wry smile: "My lord, the Ministry of Commerce and Trade is too busy now, and I still have several projects to follow." The matter of opening up the route cannot be delayed. ”

Zhao Geyan's temperament has become more and more mature and stable, he manages caravans, mingles in the merchant circle, often deals with various characters, and has a lot of knowledge and experience.

Seeing this handsome guy's bitter look, Chen Xiao smiled: "You like to go south and north." It's a bit hard to get you to sit down and manage a territory. ”

Zhao Geyan nodded.

He loves his life now.

This kind of free, wonderful, can see different people and things, and is full of challenges and adventures, makes Zhao Geyan happy.

He was originally just a concubine, but after being captured by the robbers, the family gave him up directly, if it weren't for Chen Xiao, he might have died on the Ghost Ridge.

Chen Xiao gave him a new life, gave him a new life, and let him show his talents, so Zhao Geyan was very grateful to Chen Xiao.

Meeting Chen Xiao and being able to do things for Chen Xiao is the luckiest thing Zhao Geyan feels.

So Zhao Geyan didn't want to leave Chen Xiao......

He also knew that others must have thought so.

What's going on with this feeling of being full of emotion......

......

Chen Xiao knew Zhao Geyan, and Zhao Geyan also knew Chen Xiao, and knew that Chen Xiao was short of manpower now, so he said, "My lord, I can recommend someone for you." ”

"Who?" asked Chen Xiao.

"Nicholas Kalisi, an illegitimate son of the Kalisi family. Zhao Geyan said, "A declining aristocrat." He has traveled to the mainland and studied in the Black and White Palace of the School City for several years. ”

"He's an ambitious, capable guy. He is knowledgeable and believes that he can manage a territory well. ”

Zhao Geyan seems to have a high opinion of this Nicholas.

Chen Xiao nodded and said, "Then find a time, let's go meet this Nicholas for a while." ”

"Before deciding on a representative, let that Caius be the temporary lord. Lux, can that man be trusted?"

Chen Xiao looked at Lux.

"It should work. He swore allegiance to me, and while a little inexplicable, it should be believable. ”

Regarding Lux's statement, everyone present was noncommittal, but they thought that there might be some reason for this.

Chen Xiao quipped: "Then it's no problem." ”

With Lux's charm, if no one is willing to follow Lux, Chen Xiao feels strange.

After the meeting ended, Chen Xiao left Lux.

He took out a note, handed it to Lux, and said, "This is a letter from the imperial capital." Look. ”

This letter was brought by Xin Yao, and Chen Xiao was very surprised to receive it at that time.

The content of the letter said that the Imperial Academy wanted to invite Chen Xiao to serve as a tutor in the academy, and to give Chen Xiao a new discipline - alchemy.

It is hoped that Chen Xiao will arrive in the imperial capital Longyuan City before the winter moon.

At the same time, the emperor, Moremod the Great, also expressed his desire to invite Chen Xiao to serve as the chief alchemist of the court.

Moremod the Great was interested in the new genre of "alchemy".

Lux pinched the note, her face a little heavy.

"What do you want to do?" he asked.

Chen Xiao showed a look of distress: "I just don't know, so I want to ask you." ”

Lux's identity, said to be related by blood, is actually the niece of Moremod the Great.

However, the relationship between this uncle and nephew remains to be discussed.

If Moremod the Great knew the identity of Lux, he would not know whether it would be a blessing or a curse.

"It's your business, why are you asking me. Lux tilted her head.

"That's because you are my personal guard, where I go, you will also go, the so-called marrying a chicken with a chicken and marrying a dog with a dog, that's what I said. Chen Xiao said.

Lux blushed and scolded: "What marry a chicken and marry a dog, when will I marry you!"

This guy always says something inexplicably shy.

Chen Xiao smiled, grabbed Lux's little hand, thought that he could play with this hand for a lifetime, and said with a serious face: "This trip to the imperial capital is unpredictable." I want you to go with me. With you, I have peace of mind. ”

Being teased by Chen Xiao like this, Lux's heart suddenly beat faster, and she thought that she had a trace of indescribable joy and sweetness.

She turned on the tsundere mode, pulled out Chen Xiao's chicken feet, and said angrily: "Don't be fussy about me, believe it or not, I will punch you away." ”

As she spoke, she was about to leave without twisting her head, leaving only one sentence in the end: "When will you leave?"

Chen Xiao grinned: "Three days later." ”

Before that, he needs to prepare well and explain all kinds of things.
