Zhou Tianfang has always been very accurate in seeing people, and since he said so, Chen Muyun is no longer hiding.

"Boss Zhou, you call him over to me."

After a while, Xu Changgeng came to the front and saluted with his fists very formally.

"Lord of the Castle."

Before, because of Chen Boyuan's relationship, he did not observe Xu Changgeng carefully.

Now it seems that it is indeed a talent.

Although he was wearing an old black gown, his tall figure concealed the flaws of his clothes, his long jet-black hair was pulled into a bun on the top of his head, and his eyebrows revealed a heroic spirit.

I have to say, it's really like a decent character who came out of a book.

"I heard that today you stopped Chen Duan from making a move against the people, I want to know what you think."

"Back to the city lord, where do you have any ideas, as an outer disciple, it is my job to patrol the city every day, but what I see is the hungry people who are hovering on the verge of hunger and death, if you make a concerted move at this time, it will inevitably arouse the anger of the people."

Chen Muyun nodded with satisfaction.

"You know how things go."

"Chang Gung doesn't understand, it's just that I've seen a lot, but it's ......"

Xu Changgeng suddenly wanted to speak and stopped.

"Say whatever comes to mind, I don't like people who spit out."

Hearing this, Xu Changgeng gritted his teeth and replied: "To be honest, I understand the city lord's intentions today, but ...... But I don't approve of what you're doing today. ”

"Oh, let's talk about it."

So, Xu Changgeng told Chen Muyun about his worries about grain storage, which roughly meant the same as what Zhou Tianfang considered.

When Xu Changgeng said his thoughts, Chen Muyun knew that he was not looking for the wrong person.

"You're right, what I did today is indeed to drink to quench your thirst, but Xu Changgeng, have you ever considered a question?"

Xu Changgeng looked at Chen Muyun inexplicably.

"The current Liuli City is like a ship with a hole, you don't want to make up for it, but continue to drive, then the end is only a shipwreck."

"Although my approach is radical, it has stabilized the people's hearts, as long as the situation can be stabilized, then if you want to carry out other work in the future, there will be much less resistance."

"The young master already has a plan?"

Xu Changgeng said curiously.

"Sort of, but before that, I'll ask you something."

"Ask me?" Xu Changgeng wondered.

"As a disciple, you should understand that the clan has a lot of complaints about my succession to Liuli City, and now to revitalize Liuli City, I need manpower." Saying that, Chen Muyun glanced at Xu Changgeng, "I'll just say it directly, are you willing to follow me." ”

Xu Changgeng was stunned.

"The city lord, he is a disciple in the door, and it is ...... to obey the transfer."

"Don't come to this set, you know what I mean, I don't have time to play dumb riddles with you here, I can't say a word."

Hearing this, Xu Changgeng's brows tightened, as if it was difficult for him to make a choice on this issue.

Xu Changgeng is indeed a good seedling, but for Chen Muyun, he does not have to be.

Seeing that he was so embarrassed, Chen Muyun didn't want to waste time.

However, just as Chen Muyun was about to get up, Xu Changgeng suddenly asked.

"I don't know what the city lord thinks of us outer disciples."

Hearing this, Chen Muyun snorted coldly, but he didn't expect him Xu Changgeng to be waiting for him here.

"I, Chen Muyun, only look at virtue and not background." As he spoke, Chen Muyun raised his hand and pointed to Zhou Tianfang on the side and said, "Boss Zhou is the person I trust the most, I can give him my life, and I am not afraid to tell you that his true identity is Zuo Dao, who is despised by those so-called righteous people." ”

Chen Muyun's maverick behavior really made Xu Changgeng a little confused, for the matter of the left way, others are secretive and hidden, but he, Chen Muyun, dared to say it casually in broad daylight.

Could it be him?

A thought ignited in Xu Changgeng's heart like wildfire.

In this.

"If the city lord doesn't give up, Chang Geng is willing to die with him!"

Seeing this, Chen Muyun and Zhou Tianfang looked at each other and smiled.

……

The Chen family's mansion.

Xu Changgeng is a capable person, which Chen Muyun can be sure of when he sees him.

With his help, the understanding of the Chen family's recent situation is much clearer.

According to Xu Changgeng, there are currently 670 disciples of the Chen family, of which 310 are outer disciples.

The inner disciples were managed by the Great Elder alone, while the outer disciples were managed by Chen Duan, who was assigned by the Great Elder.

However, Chen Duan is the kind of person who is stubborn and self-serving, does not listen to other people's opinions, and has a deep hostility towards outer disciples.

Therefore, many outer disciples were reluctant to provoke him, so they would find Xu Changgeng to solve the problem.

"In other words, you are the one who is actually managing the outer disciples!"

"Huh? Pretty much. ”

This news is the only good news that Chen Muyun has heard since returning to Liuli City.

When Xu Changgeng was recruited, Chen Muyun planned to cultivate his influence among the outer disciples, so that he could win over a group of outer disciples.

didn't think about it, this Xu Changgeng was hiding quite deeply, and unconsciously, Chen Muyun was equivalent to recruiting half of his disciples.

But this kind of joy only flashed in Chen Muyun's heart, and after years of hard work, he understood a truth, that is, until the last moment, he must not take it lightly, and what he has to do now is how to further consolidate Xu Changgeng's position among the outer disciples.

"I heard that the outer disciples haven't received the regular silver for four years, so how have you survived all these years."

Hearing this, Xu Changgeng seemed very silent, as if he remembered some unpleasant experiences.

"When we don't have a value, we ...... We're going to do chores for some businesses in the city, uh...... However, these things were tacitly approved by the Great Elder. ”

Worried that Chen Muyun was to blame, Xu Changgeng hurriedly explained.

"In return, the store will give us something to eat."

Chen Muyun was very surprised, "Those three hundred outer disciples ......"

"No, no, no, only a few disciples can go to work, but we have agreed that no matter who goes to help, the food they get will be distributed to others, plus the disciples on duty, some dry food will be distributed on the stove, which can be regarded as barely able to live."

"That's not worth it, and you don't have the opportunity to work,"

Hearing this, Xu Changgeng didn't speak, but from his expression, Chen Muyun had roughly guessed the answer.

"In a while, you go to the granary, bring out some grain, and distribute it to the outer disciples who have not received the silver."

"City Lord, this ...... Isn't that okay? ”

Xu Changgeng said with some concern.

"It's nothing bad, the people can eat it, why can't you eat it, not to mention that there has been no silver for four years, this is compensation for you, you tell the brothers, the silver you owe before, and then I, Chen Muyun, will double it to them, which is a reward for their loyalty."

Seeing this, Xu Changgeng couldn't help but have a little more admiration for Chen Muyun, and immediately got up and clasped his fists and saluted.

"Alright, okay, don't make these nonsense."

Chen Muyun interrupted angrily.

"By the way, one more thing, how many potters are there in the city at the moment."

"Huh?" Xu Changgeng was stunned when asked, "City Lord, what are you looking for a potter?" ”

"You don't care about this, is there anything else?"

Xu Changgeng thought for a while and said: "In the past few years, all those master-level potters have left, and the rest of the city are some potters who are not in the stream. ”

"Fame doesn't matter, as long as you can fire glass utensils."

"Ahh If that's the standard, then there is. ”

Chen Muyun nodded, "Okay, you go to get the food first, and then bring some people, find me some potters, and tell them that they don't work in vain." ”

"Oh!"

Xu Changgeng Mu Ne's response.

"City Lord, City Lord! Oh no! ”

At this time, an outer disciple ran in from the outside in a hurry.

"Something's wrong."

"City Lord, it's not good, Chen Duan gathered a group of inner disciples and beat a few outer disciples who had just come back from duty, you can go and take a look, if it's too late, they will be beaten to death by Chen Duan!"
