It can be said that confronting aristocratic families is something that emperors of every era have to do, but the number of emperors who can truly subdue aristocratic families from ancient times to the present can only be counted on their hands. Chen Xi does not think that the fledgling Liu Bei can subdue these guys, even if there are It is probably not possible for a time traveler to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune and have a vision beyond the times. After all, directly facing the aristocratic family at this time is not in line with the time traveler's instinct of seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune.
With two hands prepared, a carrot in one hand and a stick in the other, it would be great if Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping could crush the Zhen family's shop and let them understand the difference between princes and aristocratic families. As long as they can get away with it if they apologize obediently, Just let Liu Bei continue to simmer his anger.
If the Zhen family really has great hands and eyes, Chen Xi will have no choice but to do it himself. Whether it is business squeeze, or a brazen attack to wipe out the upper echelon of the Zhen family, give the Zhen family a decent funeral, etc., in short, Chen Xi can guarantee that even if If Zhen Mi is really like Fengyi, she will probably be reduced to someone else's plaything, and at most Yuan Shao would feel embarrassed and would not start a war with Liu Bei directly.
"Zichuan, how much money do you have? Since you joined Fenggao, you have been investing money and food continuously, and you haven't seen any return on your money yet, and you are still able to survive. Do we have so much money?" Jian Yong Seeing that Chen Xi was in a daze again as usual, and seeing that the autumn grain was about to come, he finally couldn't restrain his curiosity and asked. Even Zhao Yun on the side raised his head curiously after hearing Jian Yong's words. This matter belongs to Gaocheng. people are very interested.
"Yes, there is a lot of money, and it is constantly increasing. What's wrong?" Chen Xi yawned and said, "Don't stand outside, Mr. Xuande. Come in if you want to hear it. Everyone is probably interested in this. .”
"Hahaha." Liu Bei laughed, trying his best to hide the sarcastic look on his face, but when he saw Chen Xi's whole body wilting, he didn't focus on himself, so he didn't laugh any more.
"Yes, many people now think that you, Chen Zichuan, are a money-splitting boy with countless money." Liu Bei laughed and laughed. If others don't know, how can he know that Chen Xi sits here drinking tea every day and reviewing some things? There is no money to pull out a car from a certain place every day as rumored, but it does make everyone live and work in peace and contentment.
"I only have so many copper coins in my hand." Chen Xi casually took off a brocade bag from his waist and threw it on the table with a clang. Chen Lan made this for him after he came to Fenggao. As for the one hanging on the left The sachet was made by his wife Fan Jiancai. It was very delicate.
"What does Zichuan mean?" Liu Bei found a seat and sat down, looking at Chen Xi's wallet on the table and asked in confusion.
"It means that I didn't invest a single coin in Fenggao. Fenggao's seemingly huge amount of money actually doesn't exist at all." Chen Xi sat up and said seriously, "Of course, the refugees we recruited continue to create value. , so it looks like I’m constantly putting money into it, but in fact I have no money to put into it at all.”
Liu Bei couldn't understand, Jian Yong's eyes were dull, and Zhao Yun scratched his ears and cheeks.
"Okay, to put it simply, you see, I pay them daily wages, right? Although it's not much, over time, more than ten million dollars have flowed out of my hands. But you haven't thought about it. It's not just me. They are spending money, and the people who have made money are also spending money. After all, if you pay your wages, you don't have to take care of dinner." Chen Xi said with a sigh, looking very decadent.
Still didn't understand, and several people still had blank expressions.
"I asked people to open a few steamed bun shops." Chen Xi said with a yawn.
This was something Chen Xi was forced to research because he couldn't stand dead-faced steamed buns. He also failed many times. However, it got much better after the first success. Compared with dead-faced steamed buns, it was a profitable industry that at least made a fortune. The steamed buns are delicious and easy to digest when you are hungry, and no one knows that two or two large steamed buns do not require one or two to five flour, so the business is booming...
Moreover, the lunch provided by Chen Xi in the spirit of work was only enough to satisfy people. Don't even think about eating well. The dead-faced steamed buns were enough and the millet porridge was barely enough to satisfy people. Compared with the steamed bun shop, the number of people who ate the lunch provided by the government was half as much. , it’s also about eating. I didn’t have a choice before and I thought the official meal was quite good. Now that I have a choice, why eat the dead-faced steamed buns that are as hard as rocks at a steamed bun shop and at the same price as the official one? They also provided a small plate of pickles. Well, the business of the steamed bun shop opened by Chen Xi was even more prosperous.
After waiting for a while, the officials seemed to wake up. There were fewer and fewer people staying for lunch, so the officials negotiated with the steamed bun shop. The officials sent notes to the working refugees, and the refugees took the notes to the steamed bun shop. Eating steamed buns in a store is relatively cheap because of the so-called large quantity and the preferential treatment. Therefore, the refugees are grateful and the officials also save the cost of cooking lunch, and everyone is happy.
After that, Chen Xi took all the unemployed cooks who used to make lunch and opened steamed bun shops everywhere. As expected, everyone was happy. Most of the official family's expenses were gone. The new refugees had no notes, only copper coins, and then the same When a person is eating steamed buns and realizes that he spends tens of cents more than others in a month, he immediately quits and strongly demands to exchange the copper plates into strips. Well, he avoids not having enough money...
After a while, Chen Xi found that there seemed to be too many refugees and not enough money. Then one of the refugees discovered that Bai Tiao could actually eat steamed buns at a steamed bun shop at night. He didn't have to spend the same or even more money at home to eat any kind of hard and steamed buns. Stone-like dead noodle buns...
This secret spread quietly, and then the salary was reduced. What Chen Xi had to do every day was to use his own seal to stamp the white paper he had just researched, and then let Zhao Yun chop it into neat pieces. Ten pieces, Zhao Yun did this very neatly. More than a thousand pieces were placed on the table. Zhao Yun's sword flashed and it was done without damaging the table.
It is simply unreasonable that this kind of paper that has changed history is treated as a general equivalent as soon as it comes out. It doesn't matter, anyway, no one can imitate it. Even if the paper is imitated, Chen Xi still needs to stamp it. By the way, the private seal of the Han Dynasty seems to be from the Yi tribe? Maybe it was to punish the Nine Tribes. Anyway, it is better to forge this than to make small coins like Dong Zhuo. At least no one cares about it, and at most the people will be unlucky, and paper is considered reasonable as money.
To be honest, Chen Xi originally planned to have someone carve the words "Two Steamed Buns" out of wood. In the end, he found that this kind of slender wood seemed like he would have to stamp a lot of stamps, so he would simply use Liu Bei's General Anton's seal to seal it. It's relatively fast, after all, it's big enough. According to the standard price of one thin bun, which is equivalent to two steamed buns, Chen Xi said that he only needs to pay a small amount of salary every month, and this note is enough for everything else.
A small amount of wages is still money, so what's going on with half a million people? The bandits and bandits changed their jobs and became refugees. The Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou near Mount Tai changed their jobs and became refugees. In short, there were more and more refugees. Later, the refugees changed jobs in Taishan and became Chinese. Taishan looked more and more Come more and more prosperous.
So Chen Xi opened some stores selling daily necessities. Anyway, the entire Taishan County is under his rule. The bandits are all his Taishan bandits. They can do whatever they want. In this way, most of the copper plates sent out can be recycled. , and then send it out, and the better thing about the store opened by Chen Xi is that it allows the use of white slips...
Just like this, more than 99% of the vendors have been killed, and it is a general equivalent that cannot be used outside Taishan. Isn't it a suicide to take it? Do you want to keep it in Taishan to exchange for steamed buns? Have you finished eating?
To put it bluntly, if there is really a vendor who is willing to accept i-notes, Chen Xi will consider the character of that vendor. For example, Chen Xi, a good-natured merchant like the Mi family, is willing to exchange grain for the i-notes, and someone like Zhen Xi Chen Xi doesn't mind giving them a warehouse worth of money for the kind of merchants who pissed off Liu Bei. As a humanoid money printing machine, he has no pressure, so the Zhen family still knows how to run fast~
Chen Xi explained his previous actions to several people in detail, but Liu Bei and others were still confused. Looking at Chen Xi who was holding his head and groaning, he finally couldn't help interrupting Chen Xi.
"Stop, although Zichuan doesn't understand what you are saying at all, but from the actual effect, you are really powerful." Liu Bei cut off Chen Xi's speech and said with a confused look on his face.
"Sure enough, no one can understand. It seems that we must find an expert in internal affairs with an IQ of over 90. It's too lonely now." Chen Xi held his head and looked like a lonely expert.
"Why does Zichuan always look so tired? He always looks drowsy." Liu Bei changed the topic. He felt that continuing to listen to the Book of Heaven was really challenging his limits. Anyway, no matter what method Chen Xi used, as long as It's enough to build it, the other things don't seem to be important.
"I was sleepy in the spring, sleepy in the autumn, and slept in the summer. I lay under the quilt in the winter. Now I am in the state of autumn fatigue." Chen Xi said with a tired face, "But don't worry, Mr. Xuande, there won't be any big problems with government affairs." Chen Xi changed slightly as he said that Try to make yourself comfortable in one position. This is the only bad thing about doing nothing. It is easy to fall asleep.
Liu Bei, Jian Yong, and Zhao Yun all looked at Chen Xi helplessly. Is this the reason? I have been sleepy for the whole year. You are like a pig. You eat and sleep, and you eat when you sleep. I really wonder how you learned this skill. Is there really such a thing as a dream?
"Report!" Just when everyone was in silence, a messenger rushed in and shouted loudly. In an instant, Chen Xi woke up. Zhao Yun and Liu Bei, two warriors with very good eyesight, clearly saw a strange thing coming out of Chen Xi's body. She was sweating a little, probably because she was frightened and woke up from a daze.
Chen Xi looked at the messenger below with solemnity. All the sleepiness that he had finally brewed up was scared away, and he was frightened half to death. He sighed in his heart, "I can't sleep in the Government Affairs Hall anymore. It's too scary." 】
"Do you have anything to report?" Chen Xi asked calmly.
"Mi Zizhong from Xuzhou and Lu Zijing from Linhuai are here to visit." The messenger replied loudly.
"Huh?" Chen Xi was startled, then his expression recovered and he was overjoyed, "Mr. Xuande, great wealth and great sages are coming."
