Chapter 237

Chapter 238: It doesn’t matter if you order it
"Zichuan, I'll leave first," Guo Jia stood up shakily. After all, Guo Jia's internal energy wasn't out of his body yet, so he couldn't bear the wine in Chen Xi's house.

"The situation in Xiliang has been a little strange recently. I don't know what's going on. Han Sui and Ma Teng have been making trouble.

Phew~ Your wine is still so strong." Guo Jia shook his head, trying to get rid of the alcohol from his dizzy head.

"Hehe, I don't know what Han Wenyou and Ma Shoucheng will think after hearing your evaluation. After all, the war they started was also at the level of 100,000." Chen Xi shook his head.

"Ah - ha, if this battle of 100,000-level was fought by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, I might be more cautious.

But, considering the size and eliteness of the forces they have now? I don’t think highly of them anymore—"

Ever since seeing Yang Ji wholesale the elite troops of Danyang, Guo Jia was no longer interested in legions that did not have elite talents.

Any legion that does not have elite talents will be classified as a miscellaneous soldier sequence and will not even be able to be included in their farming soldier sequence.

Although the Danyang elites that Yang Ji wholesaled were through the method of talent rendering, the cooperative talent was spread to the entire army.

However, there is a huge difference between a legion with elite talents and a legion without elite talents.

There is simply no comparison between the two.

Unless... there is a powerful general who can unite their morale and pull them together, this would be a way to achieve victory.

After all - high morale is also a way to win.

It's so outrageous that the world can be distorted by will.

Chen Xi did not argue with Guo Jia about this. After all, even he, after seeing the situation of Han Sui and Ma Teng, could only say "That's it?"

Once you have seen the sea, all other waters are but puddles; once you have seen the Wushan Mountains, all other clouds are but mounds. After seeing the elite Danyang troops wholesaled by Yang Ji, anyone looking at the military appearances of other princes would only smile and remain silent.

Although after seeing this, Huangfu Song always said that it was useless for Yang Ji to have tens or hundreds of thousands of Danyang elites, as they would still be covered by the elite talents of other major legions.

However, no matter how eloquent Huangfu Song is, he cannot hide the fact that the situation will be one-sided when a legion with elite talents faces a legion without elite talents.

"What's the situation in Chang'an?" Chen Xi asked Guo Jia. Since Han Sui and Ma Teng were in trouble, Li Jue, Guo Si and others in Chang'an should also take some action.

After hearing Chen Xi's question, Guo Jia was silent for a while, "Li Jue and Guo Si had a disagreement over the issue of military power.

Alas, what a pity," Guo Jia sighed, not knowing which one he was feeling sorry for.

After putting some of his thoughts aside, Guo Jia continued, "The reason why Li Jue and Guo Si can maintain a superficially harmonious relationship is basically due to the mediation of Zhang Ji.

However, if they don’t find a way to solve the food problem in Guanzhong, it’s only a matter of time before they start fighting among themselves.”

"So, you don't have any backup plan in Chang'an?" Guo Jia asked Chen Xi curiously.

After working with Chen Xi for such a long time, Guo Jia has figured out some of Chen Xi's principles of doing things, which is to keep the people away from the influence of the war as much as possible.

Given the current situation in Guanzhong where bandits are rampant, Guo Jia doesn't believe that Chen Xi will remain indifferent to the people there.

Facing Guo Jia's curious gaze, Chen Xi did not say anything, but changed the topic to another direction.

"Zhang Ji, it turns out he is still alive. No wonder Li Jue and Guo Si can still maintain superficial peace."

"Uh..." Guo Jia looked at Chen Xi speechlessly. What did he mean by Zhang Ji was still alive? I thought you knew when Zhang Ji would die...

Guo Jia narrowed his eyes. Could it be that Chen Xi really saw the date of Zhang Ji's death?

"Well, I remember now. When Zijian came back from Chang'an last time, he told me about Zhang Ji... It seems that Zhang Ji will be fine in the short term.

However, Zhang Ji seems to have died of illness. Although strengthening vitality has some effect, we still need to find a doctor, right? " Chen Xi muttered to himself, not knowing who he was talking to.

Guo Jia's eyes flickered for a few times, [So, the key point of Chang'an is Zhang Ji?
Go find Hua Zijian?】 Guo Jia looked at Chen Xi thoughtfully.

This is clearly stated to you. If you don't want to cause trouble, you have to throw it to me?
"By the way, how is Xiaozhi doing recently? If he has thought it through, I will hand over the confiscated documents to him?" Chen Xi's voice instantly returned to normal range, as if he had said nothing just now.

"Xiaozhi..." Speaking of Fa Zheng, Guo Jia couldn't help but smile. After all, although Guo Jia didn't become Fa Zheng's teacher, he still recognized this junior brother.

"His recent progress has been tremendous. In three years at most, it will be difficult for me to suppress him.

However, it is a good idea to let him go out and train now. Some things will only work if you experience them yourself."

Chen Xi nodded. Since Guo Jia agreed, he would no longer withhold the paperwork for Fa Zheng to take up the position of Prime Minister of Qi. After all, Yang Ji had urged him several times.

"In that case, ask him to come to my place after you go back. It's time to give him these things." Chen Xi shook the small seal hanging around his waist.

Guo Jia nodded, indicating that he understood. He would inform Fa Zheng to come to Chen Xi after returning.

Just when Guo Jia turned around and was about to leave Chen Xi, Chen Xi suddenly called Guo Jia.

"Oh, there is one more thing. Please inform Zizhong and Zhang and ask them to come to my place as well.

I think they have already worked out the rules during this period of time, and by then I can give them a try and it will be almost done.

It’s time for the First Street to be open.” Chen Xi said with emotion. The First Street, which had been prepared for so long, could finally be shown off.

Guo Jia, who had already stood up and was about to leave, immediately sat down again after hearing this.

"The First Street is going to be opened?" Guo Jia looked at Chen Xi with interest. As they expected, the most valuable North-South First Street was in Chen Xi's hands.

At the beginning, many people came to the government office to look for connections, saying that they wanted to buy the land on the street, and the prices they offered were higher and higher.

However, because they didn't know who owned the land on Yi Street at that time, Liu Ye checked the files and found that the land on Yi Street had been sold before Fenggao was built.

Apart from Chen Xi, they could not think of anyone else who would work hard in this regard. Yang Ji should also be a possibility, after all, he was the one who could best understand the core of Chen Xi's plan.

Is it true that Yang Ji would have such thoughts? This is a question mark.

"Why, are you also interested in that place on Yijie Street?" Chen Xi teased Guo Jia with a smile.

"Hehe, if those people really didn't know much about Manxianglou's background, do you think Manxianglou could continue to operate on South 1st Street?" Guo Jia sneered.

Although the prices in Fenggao Trading Street were not as exaggerated as those in Wancheng Trading Street, the land prices in Fenggao North and South Streets were still hyped up to the level of one million strings of cash.

This is because some merchants were diverted to Wancheng, otherwise the price would be even higher.

In other words, the merchants who wanted to buy a piece of land and set up a store in Fenggao Trading Street were scared by the land prices in Wancheng, so they ran to Fenggao.

Although Fenggao's advantages are not as great as Wancheng's, compared with the previous situation, having a place like this that only collects transaction taxes for transactions, the distance is nothing!
Chen Xi looked at Guo Jia, who looked determined, shrugged and said, "I have already shown mercy. You know, I didn't touch South 1st Street, but I spent money on North 1st Street."

"It cost more than a thousand strings of coins in total, right? How about we spend ten thousand strings of coins on behalf of the country to buy it back? We can even give you a little more." Guo Jia said with a headache, pressing his brow.

Chen Xi did not say anything, but just looked at Guo Jia with contempt. He wanted to buy back North First Street with only ten thousand strings of cash. Isn't this wishful thinking?

"Well, I forgot to mention it." Chen Xi held up the wine glass and added to Guo Jia: "Actually, I didn't spend any money on those pieces of land.

At that time, those places were where I opened steamed bun shops and IOU exchange points. After Fenggao City was built, I was able to take over those places with the IOUs. "

Chen Xi said with a smile something that made Guo Jia almost vomit blood. He was simply inhuman. Isn't it enough for him to just know it himself? Why did he have to say it out loud?

Guo Jia walked out of Chen Xi's house in a depressed mood. He knew why Chen Xi wanted to tell the story of North First Street.

Chen Xi said this just to tell them: Look, you can't even tell what the chess pieces I placed right under your noses do, let alone those idle chess pieces that were not placed under your noses.

After Guo Jia walked out of Chen Xi's house, he looked back at the door of Chen Xi's house, sighed, and then left directly.

After all, he can't bear this emotion alone. He needs to find a few people to share this emotion with and pull himself out of the feeling of loss.

-

"Fengxiao, what's the situation in Zichuan?" After seeing Guo Jia walking in from outside, Jia Xu spread his hands and pushed the documents aside.

Although the others did not make as big moves as Jia Xu, they also quietly slowed down the speed of reviewing official documents and pricked up their ears to listen to what Guo Jia had gained from Chen Xi.

Fa Zheng stretched his neck as if he wanted to stick his head outside. Liu Bei said that the document appointing Fa Zheng as Prime Minister of Qi had already been issued, but it was withheld by Chen Xi.

Guo Jia did not answer Jia Xu's question immediately, but said to Fa Zheng: "Xiaozhi, stop showing off the length of your neck. Zichuan just told you to find a time to go to him now or tomorrow."

Before Guo Jia could finish his words, Fa Zheng cheered, dropped the documents in his hand, and ran out of the Government Affairs Hall.

Looking at Fa Zheng who dropped the official document and ran out of the Government Affairs Hall, Guo Jia's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, and he didn't know what to say.

"I am a young man with a filial and upright character. Now that I have the opportunity to get back the documents you have detained, how can I not be excited?

So, forget about Xiaozhi, and tell us about the situation in Zichuan first. "Jia Xu stood up, pressed Guo Jia into a chair, and poured him a cup of tea.

Guo Jia's mouth twitched, and he said unhappily: "I just wanted to tell Xiaozhi that it would be better for him to go tomorrow, otherwise he would probably be rejected by Zichuan."

"..." Jia Xu was stunned for a moment and looked outside the door unconsciously, as if this was indeed possible.

"Oh, by the way, Zi Zhong, tomorrow you and Madam Zhang will go to find Zichuan. I think you should know why Zichuan wants to see you, right?" Guo Jia said to Mi Zhu sideways.

"Okay, I understand. I will go to Zichuan Mansion with Madam Zhang tomorrow." Mi Zhu said that he would not disturb Chen Xi today like Fa Zheng did.

Guo Jia slumped in his chair and suddenly said, "Beiyi Street is indeed in Zichuan's hands. It was bought with the original IOU."

There was a sudden silence in the Government Affairs Hall. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Guo Jia with a hint of surprise in their eyes.

"Don't look at me like that. These are Zichuan's own words. You should believe what he says, right?" It was hard to tell whether the expression on Guo Jia's face showed tiredness or self-mockery.

Everyone was silent. At this moment, they all knew what Guo Jia's words meant.

They also guessed why Chen Xi wanted to reveal the ownership of North 1st Street at this time.

Chen Xi also told them clearly when and what he used to replace Beiyi Street.

This is a warning. If you don't have a very long-term vision, then don't think about dealing with Chen Xi, and don't think about opposing the bills promoted by Chen Xi, because your vision is too short-sighted.

"Well, what's going on here? Has something big happened?" As soon as Liu Bei entered the Government Affairs Hall, he saw that everyone was silent. No one was handling government affairs, just silence.

"Xiaozhi, do you know what's going on with them?" Seeing that no one answered, Liu Bei could only pull out Fa Zheng who was following behind him and ask him.

"Maybe the news Fengxiao brought back from Zichuan was quite shocking?" Fa Zheng answered uncertainly.

Liu Bei was silent for a while after hearing this, and then asked Fa Zheng: "Then, do you know what the news is?"

"Well...well, as soon as I heard Zichuan was looking for me, I ran out in a hurry. I didn't hear what Fengxiao said." Fa Zheng said a little embarrassedly.

"..." Liu Bei's mouth twitched, not knowing how to evaluate Fa Zheng's behavior.

"Xiaozhi, you know you are very anxious. I told you to wait until tomorrow to find Zichuan. Are you being turned away now?" Guo Jia came back to his senses from silence.

"He was not turned away, it's just that Zichuan is not at home." Fa Zheng glanced at Guo Jia and said directly.

 Why are you so stubborn!
