Antique food: The general dotes on his lucky wife

Chapter 141 Be careful with the Ji family

In fact, in the letter, Chen Xi has already laid out the basic framework.

She thought from the beginning that if the Hangzhou magistrate couldn't spare his time and sent someone to ask her about the specific method, then he could know the general method based on that letter alone.

But now that the magistrate of Hangzhou was able to put aside his dignity and come over in person, Chen Xi naturally told the whole story without reservation!

"Master Xu, I have been in Hangzhou for almost half a year. When I first came, Hangzhou experienced a war and was being rebuilt everywhere. Later, when I occasionally chatted with General Lin, General Lin mentioned a few things about Hangzhou. Defense construction, but these constructions require a lot of manpower. Although Hangzhou is a big city, it will take a lot of time to complete these projects!

But as more and more victims gathered in the past few days, I suddenly thought of what General Lin said before. If the court could organize these victims, let them carry out defense construction, and then distribute wages and food to them, this would not only be able to This will make Hangzhou's fortifications stronger, and at the same time avoid hidden dangers caused by the gathering of disaster victims. "

Magistrate Xu laughed: "Yes, in this way, the food sent out is not completely useless. It is easier than letting so many people eat and sleep, eating after sleeping, and preventing them from causing trouble!"

"Who said no!"

Afterwards, Chen Xi took out the map he had prepared long ago and pointed out several important fortifications.

Although Xu Zhifu is not good at leading troops in war, a war last year also gave him some basic understanding of war. In addition, behind Chen Xi in front of him is the guidance of General Lin from the Qinglang Camp. Xu Zhifu has a deep understanding of Chen Xi.

What Xi said was very serious.

Then Magistrate Xu called many of his subordinates. When they first heard that they were going to discuss official matters with Chen Xi, a merchant woman, many of them were very dissatisfied, but because of Magistrate Xu's order, they still stayed.

But soon everyone knew why Magistrate Xu made such a request, and many people gradually changed their views on Chen Xi!

In fact, many of the things Chen Xi said were things Lin Changqing occasionally said, and the rest were her modern insights.

Chen Xi knew very well that professional matters should be left to professionals. She was only responsible for expressing this idea and occasionally expressing her own opinions. The rest of the time she would not interrupt much.

Lin Changqing said that the magistrate of Hangzhou was a pragmatic person, and indeed his intelligence team was also very reliable. However, it took most of a day to discuss the specific charter, which Chen Xi was impressed by!

With the regulations in place, everyone did what they were supposed to do. Magistrate Xu had been tired for a day and was obviously tired, but he still did not forget to thank Chen Xi.

Chen Xi was simply flattered: "Mr. Xu, you are so polite. It is my honor to make some contribution to Hangzhou!"

"Hahaha, the Chen Dong family understands justice well. If anything happens in the future, you can come to the government office directly to see me."

"Thank you Master Xu!"

After Magistrate Xu also left, Chen Xi finally relaxed.

But just as she relaxed for a while, Boss Fang and many other business owners who cooperated with Chen Xi to open the porridge shed came one after another.

"Dong Chen's family, what happened? Why did Magistrate Xu and many officials stay in Chen Ji for a day?"

Naturally, Chen Xi could not tell the results of the discussion between Magistrate Xu and others in advance, so he could only tell

It is a good thing to tell everyone so that everyone should not worry.

Naturally, everyone does not insist on asking what the prefects are doing. Although they are the leading bosses in Hangzhou trading houses, they are still incomparable with the prefects and many officials!

Usually these officials are people they can't even please. When have you ever seen so many people come to a "party" at the same time?

So today they have been waiting outside and dare not come to inquire. At this time, they heard that all the adults had left one after another, so they dared to come to Chen Xi.

Now hearing Chen Xi's words, everyone felt relieved.

It doesn’t seem like a bad thing!

They are on the same boat as Chen Ji. Your Excellencies are so friendly to Chen Ji. In other words, you are friendly to them. How can they be unhappy?

The business owners changed their serious attitude when they arrived and started chatting happily. Chen Xi reminded everyone at the right time.

"Boss, Prefect Xu and all of you may have to make a big arrangement for the victims in the next few days, but no matter what arrangement, we will definitely need material support. We all have nothing else, so we can make do with providing supplies to the prefect when the time comes. , as long as we can help the prefect a little bit, it will be our good fortune, don’t you think so?"

Everyone immediately beamed with joy upon hearing this: "What Mr. Chen said is, why don't we ask Mr. Chen to make a list, and then whoever has what we have will provide it. How about that?"

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry to trouble Mr. Chen's family!"

Everyone understood that Chen Xi could not reveal anything about this matter, and they could not say anything.

But now Chen Xi is willing to give them the opportunity to "show merit"

Yes, this is a great help to them!

If this time I can make a good impression on you adults and successfully establish a relationship, that would be great, great!

Chen Xi quickly made a list. The items needed on the list were listed based on the main businesses of the merchants. For example, Chen Ji was in the food business, and Chen Xi expressed his willingness to provide [-] buns a day, and he would provide them continuously. For a month, Boss Fang mainly engaged in the jade business, so all kinds of tools were naturally prepared. The Fang family could provide some of the tools needed to build fortifications, and so on.

Taking the list made by Chen Xi, the business owners hurried back to prepare, and Chen Xi finally calmed down.

Then she wrote another letter and told Lin Changqing what happened today.

Not long after, he received a reply from Lin Changqing. In his heart, Lin Changqing said that the prefect of Hangzhou had sent him a letter specifically. The letter naturally praised Chen Xi.

Chen Xi was speechless after reading Lin Changqing's reply. What did Magistrate Xu say to Lin Changqing when he praised her for not telling her!

But obviously Magistrate Xu praised her to Lin Changqing, which made Lin Changqing very happy, and even sent a team of soldiers back to help build fortifications.

At that time, Lin Changqing could not come back. Although the condition of the victims had stabilized, he was arranged by the emperor to do other things, which made Chen Xi secretly miss him.

This summer has passed in such a busy and flustered manner. Chen Xi also received news from the farm in Qingshui County. The output of "Zhengchun" wheat was indeed one-third more than ordinary wheat, which surprised Chen Xi.

Chen Xi purchased a large piece of land in Qingshui County and decided to own all the land this year.

All of them are planting "Spring" wheat. If the output can remain stable next year, it basically means that this wheat seed is excellent, and she will vigorously promote the cultivation of this wheat by then!

Of course, the first person Chen Xi wanted to share this good news with was Lin Changqing, and soon she got a reply from Lin Changqing.

Lin Changqing was also very happy, but at the end of the letter, he said something that made Chen Xi frown.

After all, Ji Mintao, the inspector general of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, was beaten to death because the Song family was implicated. Now he is just a special envoy who came to Hangzhou on the emperor's orders to prepare food for disaster relief!

Lin Changqing mentioned in his heart that although Ji Mintao is just a special envoy without rank, he has received the emperor's order after all, which shows that he still has a certain status in the emperor's heart, and he may still be able to make a comeback!

In addition, Ji Mintao is a person who is determined to retaliate. If he frees up his hands this time, he will definitely start to take revenge. Exposing Fujiwara and implicating Chen Xi of the Song family must be one of the people Ji Mintao wants to focus on revenge!

Although, Chen Xi himself was also a victim of this incident!
