Chapter 8 Test
In Liuxi Town Qi Mansion, Gu Sitian was leaning against the door with a look on her face.
When Qi Fengyuan appeared, she ran over with her gauze skirt regardless of her appearance and ran into his arms.
Looking at her tired look, Qi Fengyuan knew without asking that she had been waiting for him here and had not rested at all.
"Little fool."
Qi Fengyuan hugged her tightly. Although he said so, his heart was full of warmth and his eyes were full of tenderness.
What an enviable happiness it must be to have such a little fool who always thinks of you and everything revolves around you.
Not long ago, Qi Fengyuan hugged another woman with the same gesture and the same emotion.
If he had traveled through time before, he would have felt like a scumbag.
But now, in this world of cultivating immortals, he only feels that the burden on his shoulders is very heavy. No matter what, he must not live up to the expectations of these two women.
Because there is no such thing as a scumbag or a scumbag in this world, there is only a question of whether one is strong enough or not.
For Qi Fengyuan, honey is strength. With honey, he has unlimited possibilities.
Therefore, after putting Gu Sitian to sleep, he ignored the rest and called Chen Jinhong and Xiao Yiqiang over to hold a work meeting.
There is only one content of the meeting, which is to expand the apiary as quickly as possible and turn Liuxi Town into a honey-producing town.
Chen Jinhong expressed his disbelief. There are minerals and rice fields in the town, but instead of expanding production, you are engaged in beekeeping and making honey.
No matter how much honey you produce, what is the use of the worldly money you earn?
What's more, if the whole town devotes its efforts to beekeeping, what will happen to other industries? What will happen to the residents' livelihood?
Although Liuxi Town is just a remote town within Lujiao Mountain City, it is indispensable to the Xiao family.
But as the lord of the territory, if you make the people's livelihood miserable and in a mess, Mrs. Xiao will never sit idly by and ignore it.
Don't tell me that you, Qi Fengyuan, will not be able to reap the benefits when the time comes. Chen Jinhong and Xiao Yiqiang will definitely suffer the same consequences.
In Xiao Yiqiang's view, the boss has fallen into the gentle land this time, being so fascinated by the most beautiful woman in Liuxi Town that he even makes serious business a joke.
He understands that Qi Fengyuan focuses on taking care of his family, but if he puts all his chips in, I really don’t know what to say.
Looking at the similar expressions of the two subordinates, Qi Fengyuan knew their inner thoughts at this time without asking.
It's nothing more than thinking of yourself as a "foolish king" playing tricks on the princes.
Qi Fengyuan understood the two people's reaction. Their small group was both close and fragile.
Because I am weak, I have to join the group and be cautious. Any small mistake may ruin the efforts of the entire group, or even the chance of survival.
The reason why Chen Jinhong and Xiao Yiqiang followed Qi Fengyuan was not because of his ability and potential, nor because of his status as the son-in-law of the Xiao family.
There is only one reason. Qi Fengyuan is low-key and cautious enough. He does everything according to his ability and never puts himself in danger.
In the past ten years, his only impulse was to save Xiao Zhiwan with all his life, but in the end he almost ruined his path to immortality.
And now, he has once again "dazzled" for another woman, without learning the painful lesson from last time.
Qi Fengyuan could not explain the reason to the two of them, and there would be more misunderstanding between them in the future.
Just in time, Qi Fengyuan wanted to take this opportunity to test his two subordinates, so he broke the silence and said:
"What, do you disagree with this renovation plan, or do you disagree with my approach?"
Chen Jinhong and Xiao Yiqiang looked at each other. They hesitated to speak, and finally chose to remain silent.
Disagree, that’s for sure.
Being silent means that their positions have not wavered and they still belong to this small group. They regard Qi Fengyuan as the leader and do not openly compete with him.
The scene was silent for a while. Qi Fengyuan was very satisfied with the attitude of the two people. This test was over.
When testing this kind of thing, you can only test a little bit, not too much, otherwise it will be easy to get burnt and it will be counterproductive.
I saw him taking off the storage bag from his waist, and then pouring out a lot of gold and silver jewelry. The amount was so large that Chen Jinhong and Xiao Yiqiang had to move back a few steps to avoid being hit on their feet.
"This is?"
"Oh my god, boss, you shouldn't have looted someone else's treasury, right?"
When it was almost done, Qi Fengyuan took back the storage bag, smiled crookedly, and explained:
"This pile of stuff is worth about 5,000 taels of gold. According to the prices here in Lujiao Mountain City, it can be exchanged for at least 80 million jins of grain. Our population in Liuxi Town is less than 100,000. Assuming that each person eats 800 jins per year, this money is enough.
Support the whole town to stay peaceful for a year, right?"
The calculation was correct. Chen Jinhong and Xiao Yiqiang couldn't help but nodded. Qi Fengyuan continued:
"In this case, I will use the money to buy the entire town's labor force to implement the beekeeping plan for a year. Even if it fails in the end, everyone will return to the original state and there will be no big trouble, right?"
Chen Jinhong and Xiao Yiqiang nodded again, looking at Qi Fengyuan with very different eyes.
"Then let's go as planned. Uncle Hong will be in charge of the east side, Xiao Qiang will be in charge of the west side, and I'll take charge of the north and south. Let's start with those dense forests and wastelands, farm tools and seeds, and I'll distribute them to you when the time comes."
Seeing that the two of them had already approved his approach, Qi Fengyuan once again emphasized the plan made in the meeting just now, reminding the two of them to implement it seriously.
Soon, Chen Jinhong and Xiao Yiqiang took out their storage bags and packed away the gold and silver jewelry on the ground equally.
The two were about to leave when Qi Fengyuan called out to them, took out a bunch of things and put them in the palm of his hand.
"This is?"
Compared with the pile of gold, silver and jewelry just now, this pile of things is much smaller.
But in terms of attractiveness, this pile is much larger than the previous pile, because it is a pile of spiritual stones.
Qi Fengyuan divided the spirit stones into equal parts and piled them in each hand, then handed them to his two subordinates and explained:
"This is your salary for this year, ten yuan each. The custom is to settle the salary at the end of the year. Now that the situation has changed, it will be paid to you in advance."
Chen Jinhong and Xiao Yiqiang accepted the spirit stone. No matter how many doubts they had in their hearts, it didn't matter now.
Seeing the two of them leaving with satisfaction, Qi Fengyuan also breathed a sigh of relief.
Before the meeting, he had already prepared for the worst, that is, Chen Jinhong and Xiao Yiqiang opposed the beekeeping plan and were unwilling to accompany him to "fiddle around".
If this happens, Qi Fengyuan's plan is to pay a sum of spiritual stones as severance pay and then part ways.
Fortunately, both of them withstood the test and the worst-case scenario did not occur.
The early payment of his salary was a temporary decision he made because he had just received a ten-yuan subsidy from his mother-in-law, and he still had a dozen yuan in his pocket, which was not much.
For Qi Fengyuan, the effect of honey is now far greater than that of spiritual stones.
