Mythic version of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 210 The Darkness Before Dawn
Since Chen Xi gave the order that day, he would always appear on the gate tower of Fenggao in the afternoon, followed by his legendary guard—Hua Xiong.

"Let's go, Zijian." Chen Xi glanced at the caravan passing through the city gate and sighed, then turned his head and said to Hua Xiong, now it's time for him to be guarded, and being anonymous also has its own advantages.

"Military division, 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 the city wall.

"Zijian, give me one hundred pennies and five baht. I'll buy you an estate. It's time for you to start a family." Hua Xiong said.

"Oh." Hua Xiong nodded. He didn't think much about property at all. After all, he had been living by confiscation before this, and he lived well.

Chen Xi got into the carriage, Hua Xiong got on his horse, and led a group of soldiers to take Chen Xi to North [-]th Street. Compared with the empty place before, it has become much more prosperous, but in terms of tax revenue, it has not increased compared to before. How many.

Of course, Chen Xi has already seen the huge potential. After all, Liu Ye can't make a line chart, but Chen Xi can clearly draw the almost exponential growth rate, which is enough to make anyone who has studied mathematics go crazy!It's a pity that it was the end of the Han Dynasty at this time, and he didn't understand how terrifying the exponential growth rate was. Even Liu Ye, who claimed to be a master of mathematics, didn't see the astonishing increase, but only saw the gap from before.

"Zijian, how's this one?" Chen Xi asked casually. He told every acquaintance to buy the stores in these streets in advance. As for whether they buy it or not, it has nothing to do with Chen Xi. He only knows, Soon the land price here will increase at an astonishing rate, and after it becomes a market in the world, even the rental value will be astonishingly high.

Hua Xiong didn't understand at all, besides, he had just fought a big battle, and he still had a lot of money and food in his hands, only a hundred coins, so he nodded and approved Chen Xi's proposal nonchalantly.

It is said that besides buying three places for himself, Chen Xi bought the whole street under the name of Liu Bei. Although Liu Bei may not remember what Chen Xi said before Fenggao was built, but the storefronts on the whole street They are all used by Chen Xi to play, and they are numbered North First Street. Chen Xi really doesn't want to calculate how much the first street in the world-class market is worth.

"Tomorrow's taxation will probably catch up with the usual." Chen Xi watched the businessmen slowly closing the windows, "It's boring, I really underestimated the suppression of businessmen in the Han Dynasty, after all, the aristocratic family also Need money!"

In just [-] days, from the time Chen Xi opened his mouth to now, in less than half a month, the number of merchants in Fenggao City has increased several times, and the number of transactions has greatly increased.

Should it be said that the suppression of merchants in the Han Dynasty was too strong, or should it be that Chen Xi's reputation is indeed good, or that the Zhen family and the Mi family's connections are indeed huge. In short, the merchants have come, and that's enough.

Chen Xi's business law is enough to make all the merchants come and never leave. When there are enough merchants, Feng Gao is enough to buy any materials you want, including contraband, but Chen Xi won't mind, these contraband are after all. Chen Xi, who is highly traded, has never minded buying ironware and arrows.

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

"Military division, I don't understand what you said." Hua Xiong scratched the back of his head honestly, with an innocent face.

Chen Xi glanced at Hua Xiong and waved his hand, indicating that he can leave. Hua Xiong's home is only a wall away from Chen Xi's outer courtyard. After all, Hua Xiong still has another identity, that is, to be Chen Xi's bodyguard.

Looking at the slowly closing door of the Chen Mansion, Hua Xiong sighed, could he not understand?Even if he doesn't understand, can Li You and the others understand?The tax revenues of Qingzhou and Mount Tai have dropped by one-third recently. This huge gap was entirely created by Chen Xi. For this reason, rumors are circulating in the government affairs department. You must know that the entire government affairs department is not just run by Lu Su and others. There are too many people in the room in the backyard dealing with government affairs together, otherwise Chen Xi and the others would not be able to handle so many government affairs even if they were exhausted.

Chen Xi has come to this point at the age of less than double ten. It would be strange if no one is jealous. Lu Su and others are talented people, and they are not stingy. At the same time, Chen Xi has no faults or omissions. Others want to catch one If they can't catch the handle, naturally even if the officials in the backyard have any jealousy, they can only keep it in their hearts and cannot say it.

In their eyes, Chen Xi's actions have obviously made mistakes, and to put it bluntly, he is self-willed and arrogant. Looking at the sharp decline in tax revenue in the entire Qingzhou and Mount Tai, these old old officials finally broke out. After all Chen Xi is old enough to make the people below see no hope, too young, so young that their sons are dead, and Chen Xi is still alive!

In addition to Chen Xi's previous deeds in Runan, Yuzhou, under the leadership of some caring people, the scholars under the rule have already started to crusade against Chen Xi.

Five days ago, when Chen Xi went to the government affairs hall, a lower-level official criticized Chen Xi's self-willedness with righteous words, scolded Chen Xi for being young and ignorant, arrogant because of favors, and not listening to others, and then Chen Xi messed with him in front of everyone. With a stick, Chen Xi understood what was going on with these things.

Afterwards, Liu Bei personally suppressed the whole matter, so that those officials who were just about to make a move did not take the opportunity!But even if Chen Xi didn't pay attention to observe afterward, he could still feel the undercurrent.

Chen Xi knew very well that these things had something to do with Liu Ye and Lu Su's laissez-faire, and they also had their own grievances, but it was enough to show their disposition without adding fuel to the flames.

However, when this kind of incident broke out, Chen Xi has nothing to say. Whether it is fueling the flames or letting it go, it is just a joke in the end. Maybe Liu Ye and Lu Su just have the good intentions of persuading the king to turn around, but some things have been opened up It's hard to control, and Liu Ye and Lu Su are also having a headache!

In short, since then, Chen Xi never went to the government affairs hall again. As for the rumors spreading outside, and the ever-increasing crusade, Chen Xi could only ignore it. let him go!
As for this gloomy look and this solitary posture, Chen Xi hadn't always been like this before, and the change in a year or two still couldn't make him completely lose his old habits.

"Mr. Xuande?" Chen Xi pushed the door open and entered, only to see Liu Bei sitting alone at the stone table under the tree with two wine cups and a few dishes of side dishes. He was obviously waiting for Chen Xi to come back, "I have been waiting for you for a long time .”

"Zi Chuan, sit down." Liu Bei pointed to the stone bench Chen Xi ordered to make and said casually, "Can you bear it?"

"It's no problem. Duke Xuande doesn't need to worry. The current situation can be reversed in three days at most. By then, Fenggao's tax revenue will gradually reach four to five times the current level." Chen Xi said calmly, "I didn't fall down. Duke Xuande didn't need to make a move before, so don't worry about me."

"Drink this glass of wine!" Liu Bei drank down the wine cup, "Zi Chuan has a good rest, and if you can't bear it, take out my saber. If you still can't help it." Liu Bei stretched out his hand and patted Chen Xi's shoulder, " And I!"
