Chapter 438: Chen Xi is fooled
It’s all because Lu Su, this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, is birds of a feather as are Chen Xi and Guo Jia.
Chen Xi and Guo Jia went to the brothel, but Lu Su didn't want to go home. His grandmother had found concubines for him many times, and Lu Su had become so worried about having a child that his hair turned white.
In order to avoid his grandmother's nagging, he slacked off in the Government Affairs Office every day under the pretext of working overtime. In essence, he is also a slacker.
…
A few days later, when Lu Su was finally about to set out to follow the main force to Jiangdong, Chen Xi came to him.
Although Lu Su seemed to be reluctant to say goodbye to his grandmother, he was actually very happy at that moment. At that moment, Chen Xi appeared in front of Lu Su.
"Congratulations, you've escaped from the clutches of the devil!" Chen Xi smiled as he sat in Lu Su's carriage.
"Tell me, what on earth do you want me to do in the south?" Lu Su glared at Chen Xi unhappily. He looked so weak, yet he still had the nerve to talk about himself.
"Ahem, take a look at this first!" Chen Xi awkwardly took out the southern development plan that he had prepared for many days.
“…”
After a long silence, Lu Su spoke with difficulty.
"Zichuan, are you serious?"
"Do you know how many people and how much time your plan will take?" Lu Su said a little anxiously. After reading Chen Xi's plan, he felt that this was not a business trip at all, it was exile.
"A generation, if you are ruthless, may take fifteen years!" Chen Xi said with a hint of embarrassment.
"Huh~ Zichuan, you are so rude!" Lu Su had a headache.
He was not troubled by the plan. He knew at first glance that it was a major plan that would benefit the country and the people, and he must go. His ability, identity and status were all suitable for it.
What worries him is his future destiny. His grandmother will definitely send all the beautiful girls to him, which will give him even more headache.
"Forget it, let's not worry about that!" Lu Su chose to escape from reality because reality was too terrible.
His grandmother found him eighteen concubines. Whoever could give birth to a child first would be his legal wife. As a filial son, Lu Su could not refuse.
Eighteen! He got a headache just thinking about his life at home.
The most important thing is that these 18 women refused to get pregnant, which made Lu Su doubt himself. He secretly went to see Hua Tuo for a physical examination. In the end, he found that there was nothing wrong with his body, it was just that the probability was not right.
"Well, let's get down to business. I've long felt that the south might be more suitable for low-volume production than the north. Of course, the prerequisite is large-scale development."
As a southerner, Lu Su had actually been involved in this issue for a long time, which was why he understood the general reason after reading Chen Xi's plan.
"The south is actually flatter than the north, but there are too many messy plants. Since we plan to develop it, we need your full cooperation."
Lu Su said seriously that he had actually done investigations before, but there were no detailed maps at that time. Now with the Jiuding, a real-time miniature map of the Han Dynasty, the rubbings could even be detailed to the layout of a certain street.
With the map, all that remains is to follow the map to easily determine the areas that need to be developed. The next step is to reclaim wasteland, build roads, construct cities, and relocate people, which will not be too difficult at that time.
"The specific situation still needs to be investigated on the spot, but I can guarantee that the south is indeed very suitable for grain production in terms of hydrology, sunlight, climate, and soil."
Chen Xi knew very well that the South would indeed be a grain-producing area in the future, so even if it was something very counterintuitive now, Chen Xi dared to guarantee it.
"With two great granaries, one in the south and one in the north, the world will no longer have a problem with food and clothing!"
Lu Su sighed. He once ran a porridge stall and although he did not feel the suffering of hunger as deeply as Li Ru did, he had also witnessed human tragedies.
"The foundation of prosperity lies in your hands, Zijing!" Chen Xi said with a smile, not feeling much about Lu Su's sigh.
Chen Xi only believes in one thing: everything depends on human efforts. As long as more people continue to stand up, no matter how dark the times are, they will pass.
After getting off the carriage and watching Lu Su's carriage leave, Chen Xi felt a different feeling in his heart for the first time.
"Maybe I am making history now?" Chen Xi smiled gently.
"Zichuan, are you going to Jinyu Tower or not!!!" Guo Jia suddenly appeared behind Chen Xi and shouted mischievously.
"Why are you here! Isn't today the day you receive intelligence?" Chen Xi looked back at his friends helplessly.
"Sima Zhongda can handle it. It turns out that bastard Li Wenyou has always used Sima Zhongda as a tool. It's okay even if I don't intervene. I just need to integrate it regularly!"
Guo Jia explained proudly that he had not expected that after he and Xu You met with Sima Yi, they both understood that Sima Yi could handle the situation and that the two of them played more of a supervisory and restraining role.
"How did you deal with Xu Ziyuan?" Chen Xi asked in confusion. Sima Yi could be fooled by his status, but Xu You was not so easy to deal with.
"I helped His Highness settle a small matter last time, and His Highness rewarded me with a pair of jades, which I gave to Xu Ziyuan!" Guo Jia showed a brilliant smile.
Everyone has weaknesses. He loves sex, and Xu You loves money. He easily dealt with Xu You with a pair of treasures he had been rewarded with.
"You're really working hard on this matter of slacking off!" Chen Xi looked at Guo Jia sideways. A man who would go into debt even when visiting a brothel, it would be a bit too generous of him to be so generous in such a matter.
"You are doing this to live up to everyone's trust in you! You are doing this for the country and the people!" Chen Xi said with great sorrow.
"I just don't want to be told that by you! When it comes to slacking off, I, Guo Fengxiao, am willing to call you, Chen Zichuan, the best!" Guo Jia looked as if to say, "Don't come here, are you?"
"Okay, I didn't bring any money!" Chen Xi spread his hands, indicating that he was in a hurry to go out today and didn't bring any money with him at all. It's impossible for you, Guo Fengxiao, to take advantage of me.
"Are you serious? Who carries money when going out? Just put it in your account!" Guo Jia looked at Chen Xi with his eyes slanted, with an incredible look on his face.
"You bastard!" Chen Xi finally chose to give up his stupid excuse under Guo Jia's contemptuous eyes.
I almost forgot that this guy Guo Jia was a bully last time and in the end the bill was put on him.
As a result, their old housekeeper thought that something had happened to Chen Xi, and finally instigated the little maid to attack him in the middle of the night, so that now he is considered half a family man.
"Let's go, I'll treat you today!" Guo Jia said heroically. Chen Xi raised his eyebrows and quickly followed. There were not many opportunities to take advantage of Guo Jia. He didn't care about the money, but it was very important to be able to take advantage of Guo Jia.
The next day, when Chen Xi woke up, Guo Jia was gone.
"Mr. Chen, would you like to take a look at this bill?" When he was about to leave, the madam came up to him hurriedly.
"Guo Fengxiao, you bastard!" Chen Xi's blood pressure soared. He was actually trapped by this guy Guo Fengxiao again. He was simply not a good son.
