Fairy, Please Let Me Explain - #569 - Chapter 542 Settlement
Under normal circumstances, Hua Hong would stay in the previous pawnshop called Chang’an to handle official business, but recently he has been staying at the Tian’an General Assembly.
At the banquet, the senior officials of the Prime Minister’s Office and staff from all walks of life formulated the development policy for the next three years. As the president of Tian’an Chamber of Commerce, Hua Hong needs this old man to meet with people from all parties these days to coordinate the industry and implement the development plans that have been set. Policy implementation.
Therefore, after taking Xiaobai to the 19th floor, Xu Yuan did not go directly to Hua Hong, but first went to the waiting room nearby.
Through the induction of the array arranged by the Tian’an General Assembly, Hua Hong is currently meeting with several big shopkeepers at the state level. It seems that they are arranging work, so it is best not to disturb them.
The soul key opens the way, and there is no obstacle all the way.
Although the old man Hua Hong is very picky, all the materials used in Tianan Association are luxurious and luxurious.
The waiting room is more than ten feet square. The interior furnishings, pavilions, stools, pavilions, and soft couches and tea tables are all made of golden wood, and the texture and color are of the finest quality.
As soon as he entered the house, Xu Yuan casually found a soft couch to lie on his side to rest. Bai Muxi followed Xu Yuan but did not sit down, but knelt down at Xu Yuan’s feet. She raised her jade hands slightly and gently took off his shoes. .
Sensing the touch at his feet, Xu Yuan looked at Xiaobai, who was kneeling seductively, with some surprise.
Most of the wealthy families in Dayan had servants to take care of them, such as dressing, tying their hair, dressing and washing their hair at night and in the morning.
Don’t ask why you don’t do it yourself, just ask because of the “sense of ritual”. You must know that in some farm families, after the men return home, the women of the family will take care of them.
However, since the inner courtyard of the Prime Minister’s Mansion is not allowed to enter, Xu Yuan has never been very accustomed to the feeling of being served by others, no matter in his past life or in this life.
He wanted to refuse, but after the thought flashed through his mind, Xu Yuan still half-closed his eyes and acquiesced.
But after ten breaths, Xu Yuan opened his eyes and stared at the boots that were still firmly on his feet for a few breaths, and couldn’t help but feel a sense of humor in his heart.
After ten breaths of tinkering, I didn’t even untie my bootlaces.
There is a kind of beauty that Chu men cannot understand bra.
“.”
Noticing his gaze, Xiaobai took his hand away and looked eagerly at Xu Yuan.
Xiaobai’s movements are actually very familiar, and she has obviously made up for her previous duties as a maid, but the problem is that Xu Yuan’s boots are not ordinary objects.
In order to meet the needs of combat, the cultivator’s boots are extremely cumbersome in terms of materials and binding methods, not to mention that his pair were custom-made by Gokuyuan.
Thinking about it, Xu Yuan waved his hand towards her:
“Forget it, don’t take it off. It will be troublesome to put it on after taking it off for a while.”
The purple veil swayed in the wind, and Bai Muxi bit her lip.
In the young master’s life, she appeared too late, and a person’s heart is so big that it can only hold a few people.
However, the beauties around the young master are all very strong-willed, and the silent gentleness and delicacy that moisturizes things should be able to open a hole in the young master’s heart, but now.
Although she felt annoyed in her heart, after hearing what Xu Yuan said, Bai Muxi had no choice but to give up. She nodded with a disappointed look, then looked to the side room with a swaying figure, and took some incense from the formation freezer there.
The array pattern freezer is not a rare thing, it has become popular among ordinary wealthy people more than ten years ago.
Many noble people like to place one in the reception room of their home, where they can chill some citron fruits and vegetables and drink sweet tea to entertain their guests.
She returned to the soft couch and knelt down. She took out the citron fruit plate and poured a glass of purple wine. Bai Muxi wanted to feed her. However, as soon as she made this move, Xu Yuan reached out and took hold of her slender body. With a hint of helplessness in his tone:
“Where did you learn this?”
Bai Muxi blinked and carefully looked at the man’s expression in front of her. Seeing that he didn’t mean to be angry, she said softly:
“From the etiquette documents in the mansion.”
Xu Yuan sat up from the soft couch, took the wine glass from Xiao Bai’s hand, drank it all in one gulp, and said:
“I knew it was like this. With the action you just made, the wine would be spilled on me, and I would feel shallow after reading it. If you have time, go find Lou Ji and let her teach you.”
Hearing the word Lou Ji, a hint of fear clearly flashed in Bai Muxi’s eyes.
She was a little afraid to go to Lou Ji alone.
Although she has been bullied, Bai Muxi is not afraid of the princess or the saint. The only thing she is afraid of is the young master’s sister.
Because the other party really wanted to kill her.
Eyes lowered, Bai Muxi responded softly:
“good”
Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows, but there was something strange in his eyes.
There was no scent of tea.
He knew Lou Ji’s attitude towards Xiao Bai, so he thought Xiao Bai would take this opportunity to show off his tea skills.
But it seems that she still knows how to act appropriately.
Just as he was thinking in his mind, Xu Yuan suddenly raised his eyes and looked at the entrance of the hall.
next moment,
“Tuk-tuk-tuk-“
There was a knock on the door, and then without Xu Yuan’s consent, an old man in expensive red-edged black-bottomed clothes opened the door and walked in.
Sharp eyes swept over Xu Yuan and Bai Muxi, and Hua Hong’s brows wrinkled unconsciously.
Because of the issue of the survivors of the Underground Palace, the core high-level officials of the Prime Minister’s Mansion basically had an attitude towards Bai Muxi, the Commander of the Underground Palace, to kill him and then quickly.
Although this attitude was forcibly suppressed by Xu Yinhe, the emotion was definitely still there.
However, the moment he saw Xu Yuan bring him here, Hua Hong roughly sorted out the cause and effect in his mind, and slowly walked towards the soft couch, with a serious look on his face, his gestures, and an invisible aura of superiority exuding from his facial expressions, words and deeds:
“Why did you bring her here?”
The voice was a little cold and unhappy, with a sense of calmness and authority.
In the past, in front of Xu Yuan, the old man had always looked like a shameless miser, without any of the aura of President Tianan.
This was the first time that Xu Yuan saw Hua Hong with such an expression. He subconsciously sat up straight. He felt as nervous as when he was facing the head teacher in middle school in his previous life. Xiao Bai beside him even lowered his head. .
“.”
A moment of silence,
After Xu Yuan came to his senses, he chuckled lightly, crossed his legs, and replied strangely:
“Old man, what are you doing?”
“.”
Their eyes met without giving an inch.
Hua Hong stared at Xu Yuan for a few breaths and sighed silently in his heart.
Sure enough, I can’t scare this guy.
With a slight snort, Hua Hong’s aura of Chairman Tian’an dissipated and he turned back into the stingy old man before, but his eyes were still serious:
“I have never understood why Xu Yinhe would forcibly leave those remnants of ten thousand years ago, but now it seems that it is actually because of you.”
The words were spoken softly, but Bai Muxi couldn’t help but trembled after hearing it.
This was meant for the young master, but it was also meant for her.
Glancing slightly at the young master beside him, Xu Yuan leaned on the soft couch, swaying his legs and said with a chuckle:
“Is there any gain in this world without taking risks?”
“As long as they are separated, those risks can be ignored.”
“.”
“Hey, I’m talking about maximizing profits, old man, what do you think?”
“Don’t talk nonsense with me here.”
Hua Hong sat down opposite Xu Yuan, waved his hand to interrupt, stared at Xu Yuan with his old but energetic eyes, and spoke seriously:
“I’m not qualified to tell you what you want to do, Changtian, but I hope that after we old men are all dead, you will be able to afford the choice you make now.”
really.
The old man saw the deal between him and Bai Muxi at a glance.
Thinking about it, Xu Yuan smiled nonchalantly and whispered:
“You don’t have to worry about this old man at all.”
“Oh? What do you say?”
“Because Xiaobai’s clan members may not even be ranked among the relatives.”
“.”Hua Hong
His eyelids twitched, Hua Hong opened his mouth and wanted to curse directly, but in the end he held back, pressed his eyebrows, and said:
“It’s up to you. If anything comes up this time, just tell me. I’ve been very busy recently, and I still have things to deal with later.”
Xu Yuan followed the topic and smiled, then raised his hand and put it on Bai Muxi’s boneless shoulder:
“Didn’t I just say this? Regarding her tribesmen, I need help from the Tian’an Chamber of Commerce to find a resettlement place.”
“Impossible.” Hua Hong refused directly without thinking.
“Old Man Hua, this is my father”
“There’s no way your father will agree.”
“You should know that he has given me full responsibility for this matter.”
“Giving you full responsibility does not mean that he will let Tian’an Chamber of Commerce provide help.”
“Tsk, if you don’t believe it, you can go to the Prime Minister’s Mansion and ask him.”
“I will go tonight.”
“.” Xu Yuan stopped talking.
“.” Hua Hong looked like an idiot.
He had seen too many tricks that Shanglu Economic and Trade used to package up identities with poor information, and this guy actually thought of using this trick to fool him.
The hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Bai Muxi sat on her knees with her eyes lowered, but her hands lying flat between her legs were tightly holding her dress.
The conversation of the young master during this trip will determine the future of her people.
Amidst Bai Muxi’s nervousness, Xu Yuan suddenly sighed softly.
This old man is so shrewd that he can’t fool his father even a little bit.
I miss the first day of Qing Dynasty.
With a hint of helplessness, Xu Yuan said softly:
“Okay, let’s just keep things official.
“I will personally figure out how to use the money and food, but I want to borrow the name of the Tianan Chamber of Commerce. This should be okay, right?”
Hua Hong thought for a moment and nodded slightly:
“Can.”
“First a settlement.”
“The cost of building a settlement city that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people is not a small amount of money.”
Hua Hong reminded him loudly, and then he seemed to have thought of something, and said with a chuckle: “Even if you throw in all the eight million taels of silver that you gave Xinyao, it won’t be enough.”
“This. We can figure it out ourselves.”
Bai Muxi suddenly interrupted at this moment, glanced at Hua Hong with bright eyes, and said cautiously to Xu Yuan: “Sir, we can cut wood and quarry stone by ourselves.”
“Have you been asked to speak?”
Xu Yuan glanced at her, and Bai Muxi immediately fell silent.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Yuan said to Hua Hong:
“Everything in the city where the survivors of the underground palace live is built according to the standards of Dayan County.”
“This is quite a deal.”
Hua Hong smiled when he heard this, and raised his hand to stroke his white beard: “If the land reclamation order is adopted as the policy, there is no need to purchase land, but Changtian, do you have the money to build a city?”
If his Sumeru Ring had not been robbed by that old woman Lou Ji, various war materials worth nearly ten million taels of silver could barely replace the initial materials used to build the city, but it would definitely not be enough now.
However, facing the old man’s smiling gaze, Xu Yuan took out a map from the Sumeru Ring and said softly:
“When did I say that we would build settlements through land reclamation decrees? I don’t like that kind of remote countryside.”
Hua Hong frowned slightly when he heard this:
“Do you want to buy land? Even if you don’t have to deal with it by using the Prime Minister’s relationship, buying land will cost a lot of money.”
“hehe.”
With a low chuckle, Xu Yuan slowly laid out the entire map on the tea table in front of him, tapped the previous position with his long index finger, raised his eyes, and said with a smile:
“Old Man Hua, have you forgotten that Huizhou County was destroyed before?
“This kind of land is located at the junction of two continents and at the entrance to Gyeonggi Province. It is impossible for the imperial court to give up. When I was reading the memorial in the study, the imperial court had already prepared to allocate funds for reconstruction. Although the budget allocated by the Ministry of Household Affairs is not a lot of money, it is barely enough for the initial stage. .”
Saying that, Xu Yuan smiled slightly:
“Old Man Hua, with the size of the Tianan Chamber of Commerce, it shouldn’t be difficult to contract the entire city’s reconstruction project, right?”
