Raising the Demon

Chapter 425
"It's getting cold, please donate some unnecessary clothes to the children in the tents outside the city, many of them are still hungry, if you have extra food..." Several people dressed as literati tugged at each other. They put up a banner and went down the street to knock on the door next door, but most of the people who responded to them refused.

"Sister, do we want to continue..." Chi Yanbai was also among the scribes, and it was Chi Yanzi who was rejected again, "Bai Feng said that what we are doing now is actually useless at all... ..."

"That's better than doing nothing!" Chi Yanzi snorted and said, "If you don't want to do it, just go back by yourself!"

"Father asked me to follow you to protect you, you think I'm willing to follow you to do such boring things..." Chi Yanbai rolled his eyes, seeing that Chi Yanzi was about to go crazy, he quickly retracted his neck and stopped talking .

Zi Baifeng said that with the continuous extraction of spiritual energy from the Yinglongzong Spirit Gathering Formation, those who donate generously and help others will be the first to fall into trouble, and then they themselves must be rescued in order to survive.He doesn't like it when kind people are victimized because of their kindness, it's not fair.

If it continues, Zai Tianzhou will become the second desert of death sooner or later, and this cannot be prevented by a little trick.

To prevent it from continuing, there are only two ways, one is to draw fire from the bottom of the pot, and the other is to turn against customers.

But these two methods are not so easy.

What Gao Shan'an did was to draw out the salary from the bottom of the pot, but unfortunately he didn't draw it out.

But what Zi Baifeng is doing now is to turn against customers.

Since you smoke it, then I will smoke it too, let's see who is better!

Inside Zaitian Mansion, which was originally a patch of open space, most of the tents were set up at this time. Some of the refugees who fled from various places felt that Zaitian Mansion was not safe, so they directly passed through Zaitian Mansion and fled to the east.

There are still some people who really couldn't move anymore, so they stayed in Zaitian Mansion.

Almost all public officials in Zaitianfu were mobilized to help arrange for these refugees.

And there are too many refugees. After filling all the open spaces in the city, they began to expand outside the city.

In the south of Zaitian Mansion, Young Master Wen is directing several monks to set up tents and arrange refugees from every family.

Mr. Wen is very capable of organizing, and several officials also spontaneously listened to his arrangements, allowing him to firmly control the entire chaotic scene and handle it in an orderly manner.

Not far from the periphery, Zi Baifeng hurried past with a few people, measuring the land.

He was followed by an official from the household department, recording something on the paper at hand.

"From here, to here, and then here, I also bought this piece of land, how much is it?" Zi Baifeng asked with a big wave of his hand.

The household official was sweating profusely, and after a long while, he said: "90 taels of silver..."

"It's 91 taels..." Zi Baifeng curled his lips and said, "Forget it, it's 3000 taels for you."

"Master Xie, Mr. Xie..." The official from the household department nodded and bowed, and smiled again and again, "Young master, how many pieces of land are there, let's continue to look at it?"

"Forget about these few pieces, we don't need it for the time being...I don't think the land on the hillside has been sold yet, right? Let's go there and have a look." Zi Baifeng said.

"Okay, please, my lord!" The household official ignored his running and broke his leg, turned around and led the way. Anyway, Zai Tianfu has already made a public opinion, but any land that Zi Baifeng wants to buy, as long as it can be sold, All sold to him.

"Hmph, taking advantage of the low price and cheapness, desperately making money for the country, thanks to the fact that you are still as famous as me, but I misjudged you." Mr. Wen snorted coldly when he heard it.

"No wonder I smell a sour smell from such a long distance. It turns out that our Mr. Wen is here!" Zi Baifeng was not willing to suffer, he immediately retorted, saying: "Obviously capable of doing more useful things, but for the sake of some scumbags. Small things are here to waste energy, to do things to gain fame and fame, with such a vision, I am ashamed to be with you."

"What did you say?" Mr. Wen stared, and the monks and officials next to him spread their hands helplessly. The two of them pinched each other when they met, and no one could understand each other. Land, if it’s not taking advantage of people’s danger, what is it?”

"Cut, you, Mr. Wen, who doesn't eat fireworks in the world, naturally don't know. If I didn't keep buying land, where would you have the money to buy tents and food? Don't you need to spend money on tents and food? My lord, I am now It’s the God of Wealth in Zai Tianfu, without me, you would have all starved to death.” Zi Baifeng retorted, “Of course, Mr. Wen doesn’t care about these things, he just needs to put on a show, show his face, and satisfy his vanity The heart is fine, so where do you need to take care of the rest? Anyway, people can't die of starvation."

"My lord, let's go see the land..." Seeing that the two of them were about to fight, the official from the household department hurriedly dragged Zi Baifeng away, and several other officials also hurriedly grabbed Mr. Wen, saying: "Here is another A group of refugees came..."

"Tch, what do you know? The people have steelyards in their hearts. They naturally know whether they want to make money for the country or really think about them." Mr. Wen babbled.

"You bastard, when I finish my important task, let him knelt down and beg for mercy three times to see if I don't scare him to death!" Zi Baifeng also murmured.

What Zi Baifeng is doing now is a strategy of turning against customers. He is buying land wantonly, but he is not buying aimlessly. When this loop is closed, Zi Baifeng can prevent the loss of Zaitianfu's aura, which is equivalent to turning it into his own territory without controlling Zaitianfu.

And his plan is going well for the time being, even if some of the land has already been bought, Zi Baifeng tried every means to buy back all the land.

Now that he is in Zaitian Mansion, he is also an out-and-out celebrity, but his reputation is no longer just for literary talents, he is now called the God of Wealth.

What Zi Baifeng said is correct, now Zaitian Mansion is basically relying on his steady stream of funds to support it.

Zi Baifeng only had time to take a break when he was busy until the sun turned westward. Although the official of the household department was also a monk, he was too tired to move after a whole day. He begged for mercy: "My lord, let's go back. .”

Following them, the people in charge of measuring and writing documents have changed several times, and they are almost tired and paralyzed at this time, looking at Zi Baifeng eagerly.

"Okay..." Zi Baifeng thought for a while and said.

Rome was not built in a day, and now the land he bought has drawn a semicircle around the west side of Zaitianfu, and it is gradually starting to produce results.

Zi Baifeng raised his hand, and the card cloud boat appeared, carrying everyone to the Zaitian government office. Zi Baifeng took the cloud boat and bid farewell to several officials, but saw a notice hanging outside the Zaitian government office, announcing that It was packed.

Zi Baifeng took a few steps forward and looked over carefully.

"... Zai Tianfu recruits talents, and anyone with insight who can make suggestions and solve the current predicament will be rewarded..."

The inscription was Gao Shan'an. Not long after he came back, the magistrate began to really think of a way.

"Should I go?" Zi Baifeng touched his chin. After Gao Shanan came back, he stayed behind closed doors. It is said that he was in contact with Shangjing and wrote a petition. Now it seems that the effect is not satisfactory.

"Just you?" Mr. Wen's voice came from the side.

Zi Baifeng turned his head and saw that Mr. Wen was standing not far away, and hurriedly walked to the side, expressing that he did not know him.

"You two gentlemen! Two young masters!" An official rushed out from the government office and came straight to the two of them, saying: "It turns out that both of you are here, that's great, Lord Zhizhou wants to see you! "

"We are not together." Zi Baifeng said hastily.

Mr. Wen wanted to speak, but was preempted by Zi Baifeng, so he could only nod.

"Ah..." The official had obviously heard that the two people didn't see eye to eye, and he didn't know how to deal with it. Zi Baifeng had already taken a step forward and said, "Master Zhizhou summoned him, dare you not go? Please lead the way .”

Mr. Wen wanted to speak, but was a step too late, so he could only follow behind holding his nose.

The two were one in front of the other, ten feet away from each other, Zi Baifeng followed the official into the side door, but the guard guarding the door stopped Mr. Wen, and the official hurriedly turned back to meet him.

Mr. Wen was about to explode with anger, this man must have done it on purpose!

So treacherous!

Facts have proved that Zi Baifeng's treachery and shamelessness are absolutely beyond Mr. Wen's imagination.

How can he be compared with a person like Zi Baifeng, a handsome and suave young man who was born in a greenhouse with a golden key in his mouth?

"My lord!" In Zhizhou's study, Zi Baifeng met Zhizhou Gao Shan'an for the first time. He bowed and saluted, ignoring Mr. Wen beside him.

Comparing the two of them, Zi Baifeng is like an old man who came from a technical secondary school and has been in the society for many years; while Mr. An is a freshman who has just graduated from university and has no idea of ​​the hardships of the people. Make a judgment.

Of course, some people like the useability of old people, while others like the uprightness and plasticity of fresh people. It is hard to say who is superior and who is inferior.

Zi Baifeng and Mr. Wen did not deal with each other, which is well known in the entire Zaitian Prefecture, but Gao Zhizhou has no time to worry about it, he cut to the chase and said: "The two are great talents in Zaitian Prefecture, I would like to hire two My staff, what do you two think?"

The so-called aides are actually like masters. The aides themselves have no official positions, and their power is attached to the assistants. It is the simplest way for non-officials to exert influence on the officialdom.

Mr. Wen is still hesitating. He has a spiritual obsession with cleanliness, and he doesn't seem to want to use his staff as the beginning of his official career.

As for Zi Baifeng... At the beginning of his officialdom, he was nothing more than an insignificant village official, and he was already a village official, let alone a staff member?
Zi Baifeng clasped his fists and said, "My lord has a life, but how dare you refuse?"
