Beauty Steals the Country [End Times]

Chapter 8 Meeting Continued

There are four motions in the morning.

What needs money is to resettle the families of the soldiers, repair the damaged city walls, and clear the internal treasury. After discussing with the other two, Jiang Jundu and the other two came up with a plan to borrow money from the Panlong Base and use the real estate of the vacant house as collateral.

Mu Xishan did not comment on this, put down the document and asked Feng An, "What's your solution?"

"I have already called the branch of the New Humanity Union in the Panlong base, and issued two announcements on the recruitment and application for the allocation of supernatural powers. They said that they need to think about it and wait for further negotiations tomorrow. And this afternoon, I also visited the local Scattered ability users successfully persuaded the other party to "enlist" and signed a short-term lease agreement for the Northern Conference half a month later, and when a new batch of ability users arrive, the contract will be terminated immediately."

"What about yellow sand and mosquito poison?"

Mu Xishan looked down at the two documents given, one was "clay", built into a wall to filter harmful substances.This kind of soil is buried in the ground, its texture is soft, and there is silver glitter powder mixed in the soil, which can't be seen normally, and can only be found when yellow sand comes.

Gao Shen explained: "The yellow sand covers a huge area, but the movement speed is not fast. There is a difference of one day between the movement of the dust outside and the center of the sand. While the small amount of harmful substances in the periphery can be eliminated by the human body's metabolism, the dust in the center of the yellow sand is eliminated. After being inhaled by the human body, it is extremely harmful. According to the experiment at the Yunnan-Guizhou base, when he put mutant animals of the same age and species into the yellow sand box, he came to the conclusion that breathing for an average of 1 minute will shorten the life by half a minute. Therefore, the base will advance An announcement was made to close the doors of every household. On the day when Sha visited base S on the outskirts of it, it was the hunting day this week, and soldiers would be organized to find clay as usual, distribute it to residents, and smear it on the roof overnight."

The first page of another document is a list of mosquito-repelling mutant plants: marigold, evening primrose, geranium, lotus, mosquito net herb, etc.The second page is the habits of mosquitoes: they breed in water, like heat and fear cold, have a strong sense of vision for dark colors, and have a strong sense of air.

Qian Sheng explained: "Mosquitoes are hard to prevent. There is no practical solution in the world so far. As usual, the surrounding water sources are cleaned up in advance, residents are equipped with anti-mosquito coils, and people are sent to spread correct mosquito-proof knowledge to residents."

Mu Xishan put together the documents and looked at the crowd.

"It took you all afternoon to give me these answers?!"

Everyone's hearts tightened, thinking that Mu Xishan was about to start to show his prestige!

Mu Xishan glanced across the faces of the senior executives one by one with oppressive eyes, and the first ones who couldn't help it were Gui Chengmei and Feng An.The two looked at each other, and Gui Chengmei said first, "City Lord, don't you think your questioning is inappropriate. After all, you have been living in the backyard and don't understand people's livelihood and politics."

Feng An's words are more straightforward, "Since taking over the base, the city lord has done nothing, and even offended the new human forces, and reformed the laws in the city without authorization... You think you have helped the residents, but your recklessness may give S base, Even the impact on everyone in the base is even worse...Our base now needs money but no money, food but no food, and the base is ranked at the bottom of the crane in the north, so we don't have the ability to do anything arbitrarily."

Mu Xishan crossed his fingers and raised his chin, "Instead of making so many preparations, you might as well speak out what's in your heart."

"We feel that after you took office, although the fire has been very prosperous, you have not had any actual political achievements. You must at least show your strength and let us believe that you are suitable for the base--if you can lead the base to develop better and stronger. Very convincing."

"Since you said so, let me also express my views and opinions."

Mu Xishan picked up the crystal coin solution, lightly crossed the words "loan" and "mortgage", and threw it at Jiang Jundu like throwing garbage.

"The solution you gave me started to worry me. If you continue to serve as the logistics department of the military, will my soldiers starve to death!"

What Mu Xishan said was merciless, Jiang Jundu immediately blushed, Qian Sheng next to him showed indignation, and even Jiang Feng looked sideways, but Mu Xishan didn't give them a chance to speak, and continued, "I want to get money , Borrowing is always the next strategy. The correct way is to make a profit—there are so many vacant houses. In the news this morning, it was just published that the Panlong Base will sign a "Peace Treaty" with the Border City Army to rescue the population of the occupied base. It is so obvious Don't you think of anything like this?"

The eyes of the few people present brightened, and Jiang Jundu immediately said: "You mean - too many people have been rescued, and there is not enough space in the Panlong base. Can we rent out the idle rooms?"

Qian Sheng clapped his hands and praised, "You are so smart, this kills two birds with one stone!"

Mu Xishan tilted his head slightly, and said in a rather innocent manner, "Without your stupidity, how can I reflect my intelligence?"

Jiang Feng glanced at Mu Xishan again. He didn't participate in the meeting in the morning, so he didn't know whether Mu Xishan's leadership style was like this—but he found that since the meeting, Mu Xishan was purposefully suppressing his attitude and tone. In front of everyone, from the perspective of being superior to others, he spared no effort to dampen the enthusiasm of everyone.

Gao Shen also noticed this, Yaoyao and Jiang Feng looked at each other, but calmly looked away again without saying anything.Immediately afterwards, Jiang Feng heard Feng An question: "The rentable house is not enough to completely fill the gap of the crystal coin."

Mu Xishan looked at Lu Bao beside him, "I'll leave it to you."

Lu Bao stared back two steps, waved his hands, "What can I do?"

Mu Xishan said as a matter of course, "Since I took office, I haven't received any congratulations from the city lord. Base S is weak in financial resources and can not hold a succession ceremony-do you still want me to teach?"

"Ah! I know what to say!" Lu Bao clapped his hands and said excitedly, "I told those city masters, our city master understands that you are busy with your affairs, and you don't need to come in person. Visited?"

Gui Chengmei did not intend to let Mu Xishan go easily, "Then what solution do you have for mosquito poisoning?"

There was nothing Mu Xishan could do about these two completely unfamiliar words, but he could only raise his eyes and said in an unsteady voice: "If you want to admit your incompetence, or feel that only one voice is needed in the base, you can go ahead." Give me all the questions—because I found that asking you to give me the answer is too whimsical, and your ability is not as good as I thought, is it?"

After such a rhetorical question, Mu Xishan looked at everyone again, and everyone who was stared directly at him couldn't help but look away.

"Since you are so incompetent..." Mu Xishan finished in a tone full of meaning, picked up the information on mosquito poisoning, and said again, "It's not that I can help you think of a better solution." He raised his eyes and looked at Feng An, who seemed to have the strongest self-esteem and the most irritating.His eyes flicked across the top of the man's head, then he shook his head and retracted.

This kind of careless contempt was too obvious, Feng An immediately snatched the mosquito poison materials from Mu Xishan's subordinates angrily, "This time it was our mistake, we will come up with more complete materials for you to 'review'!"

"Review?" Mu Xishan noticed Feng An's stress, and said noncommittally, "It's not that easy for me to pass, at least your wisdom makes me worry."

Gui Chengmei was also irritated, "Don't worry, we will give you a satisfactory explanation."

"Can I still trust your abilities?"

Jiang Jundu and Qian Sheng also fought to get rid of the label of "incompetence" and said, "No matter what arrangement you make, we can give you a satisfactory answer."

"You have disappointed me too many times tonight, I hope you can give me a 'satisfactory answer' as you said."

Everyone focused on Mu Xishan, waiting for Mu Xishan's instructions to prove themselves.Mu Xishan thought that the arrogance of everyone present had been blown to the ground, he opened his lips, and finally threw out the highlight of the night.

"I hope that by tomorrow morning, Base S's new law of 'everyone is equal' will be posted on the base bulletin."

All the people who were defeated by the first army were startled.

Jiang Feng and Gao Shen's gazes were dim...so they were waiting here!

Yan Su, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "This will not benefit you. Not only will you be squeezed out by the union as a new human being, but Base S will also completely turn against the union."

"So what about fighting against each other?"

Mu Xishan slowly stood up from his seat, and in a conceited, even contemptuous tone, he said something resounding: "I will stop things that I think are wrong, and I will oppose things that I don't like. It's only natural—— When a person is obedient when he doesn't like it, that person is 'sick', and when the same is true in an era, he is 'very sick'. You can go to the grave with these dross, I can't change you, but I can change Myself—never, ever! I think I'd rather be a charioteer and bear the pain of sobriety than be paralyzed by alcohol!"

After finishing speaking, Mu Xishan turned around and walked out of the conference room. Jiang Feng followed first, followed by Lu Bao, who was glib, and said as he walked: "The city lord said it well, it is a blessing for the people that you understand the righteousness so well. The blessing of the base is also my blessing—" Lu Bao's lively words were blocked by the door panel, and everyone in the room peeked at each other.

Feng An was the first to cover his face, and roared in a low voice: "It's the first time I feel so ashamed when I grow up so big."

Jiang Jundu wailed, "It's really shameless."

Qian Sheng also sighed, "We are like a group of cattle and horses being led away."

Yan Su said sharply: "It's a cow or a horse that was beaten away with a big stick."

Gui Chengmei concluded, "Tonight's rhythm is completely in the hands of the city lord, and there is no chance for us to lead."

Gao Can's eyes flickered slightly, as if he was thinking about something, and he said thoughtfully, "A gentle leader will breed greed, and a harsh leader will breed rebellion. The city lord has been in office for less than a day, and the speed of progress is amazing." Sweet to the people Jujube, give them a big stick, maybe in the future, there will be more methods.The big stick used to bind the people, the sweet dates used to subdue them.

Even though they don't know much about the affairs of the base, this kind of excellent comprehension really makes people feel a sense of crisis.

It was already eight o'clock after the meeting, and the sky was dim when we walked out of the S building.Lu Bao's chatter was blocked by Mu Xishan's silent look back. Jiang Feng looked at the calm expression on Mu Xishan's face, which was completely different from the expression in the conference room.

Mu Xishan seemed to guess what he was thinking, and said without turning his head, "A chronic illness requires a long-term doctor. When treating an illness, I am a medicine that can be transformed into different ingredients. Apart from that, I am a human being."

The day and night delivery sky shines on Mu Xishan's body, dragging his back for a long time, which makes Jiang Feng feel that the road Mu Xishan wants to achieve is also long.

No matter how much ambition Mu Xishan has in his heart, no matter how difficult the goal Mu Xishan wants to achieve, Jiang Feng has felt an impulse for the first time since he grew up, the impulse to follow: in life, since we can meet in this troubled world Seeing such a rare and wise city lord, why not follow closely and go on the road together... Let's see how far they can go?

Mu Xishan was unaware of Jiang Feng's momentary psychological changes. After returning to the city lord's mansion for dinner, he went back to the newly moved master bedroom. After reading "Sky Stems and Earthly Branches" for a while, he called Zhu'er to wash up and go to bed.

Pearl came over with a face-washing handkerchief showing hesitation.

"What's wrong?" Mu Xishan took it, his tentacles were dry, and he understood instantly.The season is reversed, and there are already signs of warming up at night, which evaporates the little water vapor left in the desert... It seems that the water source is also a big problem.

Mu Xishan wiped off the oil on his face, Zhu Er took the towel and stepped back, and then he blew out the candles and turned over to sleep.

In a daze, Mu Xishan felt that half of his face was in the light and the other half was covered by shadows. He woke up from the dream and suddenly saw a man wrapped in black sitting on the bedside, and his hands were stroking his hand on the bedside table. The ancient book, the candle next to it was lit again, illuminating the face of the man in black who was covered by gauze, and looked back at him.

This person is Xi Shan.
