Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 806: Enemies are like wolves, and hunger can drive them away

Amidst all the commotion, the news that Chen Zhi was going to entertain various families also spread in the city. When those who were interested heard it, they immediately understood the reason, and everyone became excited and wanted to wait for the result.

You have to know, which one of these can come out on top and occupy one of the nine positions in the General's Mansion, then their power will definitely increase greatly in the future, at least when Chen Zhi is in power, it will be powerful, and it will also give them a goal to make peace with each other. .

This result also attracted many people from around the area to gather, and the most direct impact was that the price of inns in this generation of county towns has skyrocketed.

After all, too many people gathered in a short period of time. Many of the innkeepers remembered how the paper merchants raised prices on the street when the lights were on. Now they immediately followed the same method, and the visible benefits were immediately apparent. .

In fact, there are a lot of inns in this county. With the rapid development of Dai County, more and more people come and go, and the government also has many requests and subsidies for renovations and repairs. Many people in the city immediately saw the opportunity for accommodation. With profits, inns of various sizes were built one after another.

Just because the period of calm has not been long, the number of merchants coming here has not increased as fast as people imagined, so many of the inns that have sprung up one after another are empty, without much business, and are about to be unable to survive. Now, with the help of This time Dongfeng, someone finally cared about it. If they didn't take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune, they would be really sorry for themselves.

Such changes have seriously affected the people who originally lived here, including the old man Hong Qian who came with Zaosong and others.

This person is an elder of the clan. This time he came with a few of his own children. He had prepared no more and no more expenses. He felt that one round trip was enough. Unexpectedly, when he arrived, he realized that the people traveling with his family also had backgrounds. , and because of the arrival of these two people, the prince of Daijun also faced a big event. At this time, he definitely had no time to deal with his own affairs.

In order to pursue the best effect of the interview, Hong Qian immediately decided to endure it for a while and wait for Chen Zhi to relax before going to meet Chen Zhi in person. I believe that Chen Zhi would have time to deal with it carefully by then.

Unexpectedly, within a few days, the house price had risen first, and the owner of the inn was actually unwilling to pay the originally agreed price.

"You are really a profiteer!" Seeing that the junior in front of him was discussing with the innkeeper, but there was no result, he couldn't help but said angrily: "There are so many houses in this city, why do you have to live in your house? Come here, let’s go to another house. If we can afford the price, can we get less accommodation?”

When the innkeeper heard this, he looked over and was not angry. Instead, he said in a tone of farewell: "The old man said well, let's find another place. To be honest, there is a person here now. This guest is staying in the hotel." The price is three times as much as yours, but I'm just asking you to double it. It's already very polite. This is for the sake of the elders. Otherwise, if you just occupy this room, my daily income will be much less. !”

These words made Hong Qian even more angry, but he also knew that it was impossible to reason with such a businessman, so he blew his beard and shouted to leave.

However, after waiting for half an hour and looking around, they had no choice but to settle on a room that was not as good as the original one at a similar price.

The boy in charge of the accounts said in front of Hong Qian: "Grandpa, the expenses we have prepared are not much. It used to be that we could live for a month. But now that we have done this, I am afraid it will take less than ten days and a half." It’s about to bottom out, and this doesn’t count our food and clothing...” The implication is nothing more than advising you, old man, to make trouble quickly, don’t wait until they run out of ammunition and food, and they don’t even have the money to go back. "If you don't have money, just write a letter back. Now our post in Dai County can deliver letters on your behalf. Even if you ask your family to bring the money, we still have to wait!" Hong Qian felt distressed in his heart, but he couldn't show it on the surface, "Now We can’t go looking for him, the current prince is waiting for a happy event, and if we go there now, we’re just getting into trouble and pissing him off, how can there be a good outcome?”

Having said that, they have no good solution, they can only endure it for the rest of their lives.

However, the movements of this group of people were sent to Chen Zhi immediately. He just took a look and put them aside. He was still at home, taking care of his wife and taking time to deal with official duties.

Everyone understands this situation. Moreover, Chen Zhi changed his office location to the study room of his front house, but his office efficiency has not been reduced much. He can still review and give instructions quickly, so that the operation of Dai County does not slow down at all.

After the matter was roughly settled here, Chen Zhi turned around and said to Chen Zi who was sitting aside: "As for your proposal, after I have settled the affairs of the family, I will make arrangements and allocate as many craftsmen as possible to go Xincheng is asking for help, but I have to say this first. Daibei Xincheng also has the same request. This time Ji Gui and Ruan Qing were also called back by me. After meeting, they made the same request as you, so this Even if the craftsmen are free, they will be divided between the two sides, and it is estimated that it will not reach the number in your heart."

Chen Zi stood up and said: "It doesn't matter. As long as some craftsmen come over, they can be slowly cultivated. I have selected some young people with innocent wealth. Among them, the orphans have been sent to Dai County, but there are also many others. The clever ones will be able to contribute after they master some skills.”

Chen Zhi couldn't help but nodded.

Chen Zi added: "However, the Lord is sending a message to the Liu family and the Zheng family at this time, asking them to come together, but do you want to select one person from them to be one of the nine positions?"

Chen Zhi heard this and said with a smile: "The main thing is to let them come out and mess up the situation. Otherwise, the Daijun family, which I have finally suppressed and divided, may reach a consensus and become one again because of this matter." , of course, if there are capable people among them, there is no harm in giving them a position, as long as they have the ability, then it can be done."

Chen Zi said: "The people from these two families can be used because their family is now on the verge of collapse and disintegration. In this case, the family as a whole will not be driven by the hatred of the people inside. It is like two sides. Hungry wolves can be exploited continuously as long as they are not fed at once."

Chen Zhi nodded slightly when he heard this and said, "That's the truth, but it still depends on the inspection at the dinner party."

After hearing this, Chen Zi thought that Chen Zhi had prepared some test questions and would be selected among the famous families that night, but he did not know that in addition, Chen Zhi also had a plan to watch Qi.
