Qi Xiuwen had no choice but to accept his fate.
Who can blame them when their leader is so obsessed with horses?
However, Shenxi couldn't bring herself to use Qi Xiuwen, and once it got dark, she released him.
With Qi Xiuwen around, the paperwork was processed much faster, and Chen Xi finally relaxed.
"Xiuyan, you need to grow up quickly, otherwise, when the territory gets bigger, I don't want to be too tired."
"Sir, we have readily available talent; you can use them, can't you?"
"Who is it? Don't say Gu Beitian. He's a military talent. Handling internal affairs is different from military affairs. What's needed is someone like Xiu Wen."
"What are you thinking, sir? I was talking about Lushan."
Chen Xi shook his head even more: "Lu Shan is only suitable to work under Xiu Wen. I can't eat him. Why is he always afraid of me? How can he work alone?"
Xing Xiuyan smiled: "Chief, as long as he doesn't see you, isn't that enough?"
"How can you handle domestic affairs without seeing me?"
“Xiuyan knows, but when we return to the county town, we will divide the place for handling internal affairs into two: one for handling urgent documents and one for handling general documents. The leaders and the prime minister will handle urgent documents, and Lushan will handle general documents. If there is anything important in the general documents, they can be handed in by someone else.”
"Okay, that's a good idea. Let's call them the Chief's Office and the Internal Affairs Office!"
"The Ministry of the Interior will be handled entirely by Lu Shan, so that he won't be constrained when dealing with things with me."
How could someone so capable be so timid?
Perhaps this is just a matter of personality?
This was the first time Shenxi had met someone with this kind of personality.
Shenxi did not leave in a hurry the next day, but instead summoned Dou Yong.
Dou Yong is brave and resourceful, but he is ugly.
"Dou Yong, would you be willing to come back to the county town with me?"
Dou Yong's eyes lit up.
He has been feeling uneasy these past few days.
Several days have passed since the leader returned, but he has not been summoned. He inquired for a long time, but the leader had already summoned everyone else, yet he still hadn't been seen.
He was feeling sad; could it be that he still couldn't be used by others this time?
Just then, someone said that the leader wanted to see him, so he quickly tidied himself up and went to see Chenxi.
Without saying a word, Shenxi asked him directly whether he would come back to the county town with her.
Of course I'll go.
This is his chance.
At the same time, Mu Fanzheng was also brought along.
Shenxi then returned to the county town.
In just over a month, the county town has undergone a dramatic transformation.
It seems that Song Zhen governed very well.
People come and go, pavilions and towers stand tall, vendors hawk their wares, and crowds throng the streets—a scene of bustling prosperity.
Shenxi was very satisfied.
Song Zhen came to greet him personally.
"Song Zhen, the commander misses you!"
Shenxi's opening remarks startled Song Zhen.
"Haha, Song Zhen, there are no outsiders here, so don't be shy."
Indeed, there were no outsiders; they were all the leader's subordinates and guards.
At this moment, Gu Beitian walked over with a stern face and bowed deeply to Shen Xi.
Shenxi then said, "Beitian, no need to say more, I understand. The leader should remain calm. Alright, let's go back together. We've been traveling through wind and rain, we're all exhausted."
With that, Chen Xi dashed into the chief's residence.
Qi Xiuwen smiled slightly and said to Gu Beitian, "Beitian, there's no need to be serious. This is just how the leader is. You'll get used to it."
Gu Beitian still couldn't look directly at him.
When the leader punished him, he was so serious and impartial.
And what a wise leader he was, discussing the state of the world with me!
But in private, the leader is quite mischievous.
You really misjudged me!
But now, is it possible to withdraw?
Of course not! Once you're on that pirate ship, how can you get off?
Besides, he had no intention of going down.
Perhaps, this is the kind of leader who truly has humanity!
Gu Beitian could only console himself with this thought.
Shenxi had a wonderful night's rest; her own little nest was still the most comfortable.
Of course, that night, she pulled Di Yingxue to share a bed with her, telling her everything that had happened since they last met.
Xing Xiuyan, on the other hand, was treated like a "cold palace" and slept in the outer room.
Shenxi smiled and said, "I call this spreading my love evenly. They are all my subordinates, and I cannot favor one over the other."
The next morning, Di Yingxue smiled as she helped Shenxi wash and dress, then told Shenxi something: "Chief, the potatoes we planted are ripe!"
Shenxi immediately stood up, but her hair was still being pulled, and a few strands were pulled out.
The pain made her sit down immediately, wincing in pain.
"Sir, there's no need to get so agitated!"
"How could I not be excited? This is related to the people's food supply. It can both fill their stomachs and serve as vegetables, and the yield is high. Plus, it's not picky about the land."
"Now that they're ripe, let's not do anything else today, let's go harvest the potatoes together."
"I want to show everyone just how big the potato yield is; it will absolutely amaze you."
Di Yingxue smiled and said, "Even with a huge output, the leader has other matters to attend to today."
"What's up?"
"Has the commander forgotten? Today is Yue'er's day off. She's been talking about her older sister for a month now."
“I wanted to see the leader last night, but Xiuyan stopped me. The leader is already very tired, how could I disturb him?”
Oh dear, Chenxi slapped her forehead. How could she have forgotten about her little sister?
But it's fine this way.
"Let Yue'er come here to have a meal together, and then we'll go out to harvest potatoes together."
Xing Xiuyan laughed beside her: "The commander is really thinking about potatoes!"
"That's right. Besides, taking Yue'er to participate in labor can broaden her horizons. It's much better than just wandering around the streets!"
Shenxi said, "Even if it is a student, every child must participate in labor regularly. Here's what we'll do, Xiuyan, give the order that all students must participate in labor two days a week from now on, and they must not slack off."
Before Xing Xiuyan could reply, Di Yingxue said, "Chief, you don't need to worry. Lord Song Zhen has been doing this for a long time, even more ruthless than you, making him work three days a week."
"That's good, Song Zhen did a good job."
"Or I would say, you don't need to make Yue'er do any more work."
Chen Xi glared at Di Yingxue: "Tell me, did Yue'er beg you for something?"
Di Yingxue smiled and said, "As expected of the leader, Yue'er just wants the leader to accompany her to the amusement park."
This child.
Since her parents passed away, Shen Yue has treated her older sister Shen Xi as her parents, and she is always clinging to Shen Xi.
Shenxi was gone for more than a month this time, so it was inevitable that Shenyue would miss him.
"Okay, I promise her. I won't do anything today, I'll just go to the amusement park with her."
As soon as Chenxi finished speaking, a small figure rushed in from outside: "Big sister is the best, Yue'er likes big sister the most."
When Chenxi looked at her, he realized that the little girl had gotten darker and seemed to have grown a bit taller after not seeing her for more than a month.
It really is a child; you can see the growth in just over a month.
