In addition, the group of foreign businessmen who lived in the town also took the opportunity to drag Chen Xi to a meeting, wanting to discuss with him the supply of the orphanage and the price issues set by the town.
The conditions they offered seemed very generous, and they proposed to build a large shopping mall in the town, where they would supply the goods and sell them at super low prices.
Including food, cotton, linen, daily necessities and so on.
Although he didn't see anything wrong, Chen Xi knew that if this was really a good thing, the businessman would not wait until Yu Tong left before coming to talk to him.
So he suppressed all the things he was unsure about.
One night a week later, Yu Tong returned to the orphanage and opened the study door. The boy who was working hard suddenly stood up.
He dropped the quill in his hand, ran up to him and hugged his waist.
After staying in Yu Tong's arms for a while, Chen Xi gradually calmed down.
He finished recounting what had happened that week, then added with resentment, "I don't understand why those kids always want to run away. Their lives now are clearly much better than before."
Yu Tong ruffled his slightly messy white hair. "Because people are never satisfied. When I first took over the orphanage, a piece of candy could keep the children busy. Now, if they don't have candy for a day, they will think the food has deteriorated."
"It shouldn't be given to them."
"In their eyes, we're no different from the old priests. As we age, violence is only a matter of time."
Seeing that Chen Xi still didn't quite understand what his problem was, Yu Tong told him what he did when he first took over the orphanage.
He chose to use Chenxi's father's appearance to pretend to be the new priest. In addition to giving the future Chenxi a reason to take over the orphanage naturally, there was also a very special reason.
His father was ill all year round, looked frail, and seemed easy to bully.
With this gentle and weak appearance, coupled with the disguise of gentleness and weakness, Yu Tong can easily trick out the troublemakers among the children.
Under the banner of protecting the weak, they killed the few people who loved to stand out the most and comforted the weak but numerous ordinary children.
At the same time, it intimidates those children who are the most cunning among the group of children.
For example, the few children who originally established the League of Heroes.
The real means of being ruthless do not mean constantly making harsh words and killing people at every turn.
It is to let those who are prone to causing trouble know that all their little actions are being watched by others. It is to let those who are not prone to causing trouble know that as long as they continue to behave themselves, they will not be harmed.
Chen Xi's mistake was that he thought the orphanage children's troubles were personal problems. He caught the troublemaker and didn't investigate further.
In fact, if he kept digging, he would find that those people were instigated and directed by others. Only by directly intimidating the mastermind behind the scenes could the problem be solved.
As for the merchant’s problem, Chen Xi handled it correctly and indeed could not agree to it.
There is nothing wrong with merchants setting up large shopping malls, but selling goods at prices far lower than those in small towns is the biggest problem.
They have the ability to engage in price wars, but local farmers don't.
Villagers from nearby villages, soldiers, magic academies and orphanages are the main consumer groups here.
Once large shopping malls completely controlled by merchants are established, these people will go to buy cheaper goods in the shopping malls.
The townspeople were forced to stop farming and transfer their land to the Merchant Alliance at a low price. They then entered the factories provided by the merchants and became their workers.
When the town can no longer meet daily needs, merchants will control the town market, gradually increase the prices of goods in the mall, and reduce workers' wages.
When Yu Tong lowered his eyes to organize the documents, Chen Xi had been sitting beside him, looking up at him in admiration.
Noticing the boy's gaze, Yu Tong turned his head.
The moment he looked into those golden eyes, he inexplicably felt a strong sense of accomplishment.
Yu Tong had never realized so clearly that she had become the most important person in the boy's life.
He is the most special and is needed by others.

As he grew older, Chen Xi grew taller.
Lily and Applesauce's breasts began to develop, and their female characteristics became more and more obvious.
Chen Xi felt that they were not suitable to live together anymore, so he took the initiative to move out of his original dormitory and moved directly into the old priest's bedroom.
There was only one bed there, and Yu Tong would turn into a little yellow chicken at night anyway, so it didn't matter if they slept together.
When he was sixteen, Yu Tong gradually handed the town over to Chen Xi, and the focus of his work shifted to cultivating gods and armies.
I don’t know what Chen Xi has been exposed to in the process of interacting with the outside world.
The look in his eyes as he looked at Yu Tong had changed slightly. It was no longer just pure admiration, but also contained a hint of inexplicable emotion.
When Yu Tong was cleaning the room, he discovered that Chen Xi had secretly hidden several romance novels.
Pure and simple text, the biggest scale is kissing.
It was probably the love scenes in the film that aroused the villain's passion.
The orphanage gradually brought in some believers and gods from other religious institutions.
Under the joint management of Yu Tong and Chen Xi, the territory became larger and larger, and everything flourished.
The orphanage was completely transformed from a place of spiritual training into a military training base.
The group of children who had been staying there became well-behaved and became the first batch of elite warriors in Chenxi's territory.
Lily, who has grown into a big girl, always wants to go back to the orc tribe to see her shaman father.
Yu Tong was worried that something might happen to her, so he kept her in the orphanage until she was twenty years old, and only then let her leave with the little bear warrior.
Also accompanying them are Applesauce, Fairy Godmother, Red Gloves and Droplet Warrior.
With the configuration of three gods and three believers, they can escape back to the orphanage safely even if they are besieged by the orc tribe.
Today's villain has transformed from a skinny and pitiful little boy into a handsome young man of 1.95 meters in height.
