Chapter 742 Hongmen Banquet, face the Chen family!

Surprise, surprise, disbelief. Google search reading

After seeing this tall man who had nothing to do with Chen Shen, Sumo's thinking stopped.

Looking at the wasteland for such a long time, the last time I saw someone who transformed himself into this was Sun Bahu, who had inherited Yan Kingdom's technology and forced him into the ruins to find a solution.

But the difference is that Sun Bahu chose to embrace technology and abandon the frail human body step by step.

It's not that he is really willing to combine with machinery and give up his human body.

But the situation in the wasteland for a year was too chaotic, his power could not be centralized, and the entire origin camp was full of loopholes.

Various reasons prompted him to embrace this quick-acting power in exchange for becoming stronger in the short term.

But Chen Shen has no such urgent need at all.

"Mr. Su, is this your first time meeting our Mayor Chen?"

Seeing Su Mo's uncontrollable surprise, Chen Kai on the side was stunned for a moment, then smiled after thinking about some news that had been circulated.

In the early years, when Chen Shen often appeared in public, he was not like this.

At that time, he was still a weak scholar, speaking politely and without any sign of force.

At this time, the impression about him was finalized in the minds of most people, and it was the most widely circulated in the New World.

After five years in the wasteland, after experiencing that incident, Chen Shen appeared less and less in the eyes of the public.

Only during important public events will he show his face in front of a small number of people, and sometimes a substitute will be sent to take his place.

This has led to his current "new" appearance, and very few people know about it!

"I didn't expect that Mayor Chen would be like this."

"It's normal. You will understand when you meet other managers of our territory in the future." While Chen Shen was still preparing the microphone on the stage, Chen Kai turned sideways with emotion: "Although our Tianyuan territory is safer than small and medium-sized territories, There are many, but it cannot stop those who are interested in infiltrating, testing, and doing evil in various ways. If the managers of the territory all entrust their personal safety to others for protection, let alone the heavy protection pressure we have to bear, in case something goes wrong. , the loss of the territory is definitely not something we can bear at this stage.”

"By the way, Mr. Su, you should have seen many outsiders coming to the territory in the past two days. Do you know what they are here for?"

After explaining a few sentences, Chen Kai rolled his eyes and quietly brought the topic back.

only.

"Oh? Are there many? I've been staying in the shelter for the past two days, but I haven't come out to the street to take a look." Sumo sighed: "I also heard that I needed to apply for a trading license, so I came out of the shelter. "

He really didn't tell lies.

This is the first time I have set foot in Zizailiangfang since the disaster struck.

And those outsiders didn't hang around Sangtian Town for long before they all lurked in Hope City.

It's all true.

As long as Chen Kai sends someone to guard the gate of Liangfang, he will definitely know about it.

"Mr. Su's Qi-nurturing skills are indeed amazing!" Realizing that Su Mo was still unable to get enough energy, Chen Kai shook his head with a smile and said nothing.

In terms of his identity, after finding out that Sumo's true identity is actually the vice president of the Academy of Architecture of the Academy of Sciences.

The two of them were considered equals, so he couldn't press further.

We can only continue to wait for opportunities, maintain the current harmony, and see if we can get some useful information.

Not long after.

"Ahem"

Everyone waited patiently until a slightly hoarse cough sounded.

On the stage, Chen Shen stood still.

In front of everyone, he still didn't take off his mask, maintaining a complete sense of mystery.

"Dear guests attending my Chen family dinner, and members of the Chen family, good evening to everyone."

As soon as Chen Shen finished his first sentence, the audience erupted in applause, causing Su Mo to just clap along in a decent manner.

After four or five seconds, the applause slowly stopped.

"This year is the fourth dinner party for our Chen family, and it is also the fourth year since the relocation and establishment of Hope City."

Reading to the manuscript, Chen Shen spoke very fast, and it only took two or three minutes to give a clear overview of the territory in the past year.

Then, he gave a brief overview of the development of the Chen family and the goals for the future.

Most of the people in the audience listened to these data with great interest and applauded from time to time.

Sumo himself, on the other hand, only listened for a while and then distracted his attention rather boringly.

Yes, when the territory was established, he stated more than once that the territory must abandon these false and empty data and do more practical work.

But the fact is that as the territory becomes larger and larger, these data will inevitably appear and be put on the table.

Chen Shen did not give any specific measures to support the empty talk about whether grain production should double next year or the population should increase by one-tenth, nor did he say the direction of the territory's development.

Is it possible for these people to conjure this food and population from the air?

"Su Su Youzong, Mayor Chen is looking at you!" Zhang Min was a little surprised at first when he noticed that Chen Shen was glancing at him from time to time.

But when she turned around and found that Somo's gaze had been lowered on the Coke bottle not far away, Zhang Min was startled as if he was in a daze.

"What?" Subconsciously raising his head, Su Mo's gaze naturally diverged to the stage, and instantly intertwined with Chen Shen's gaze.

It seems to have transcended time and space and penetrated layers of barriers.

When they looked at each other, a familiar feeling immediately arose in Somo's mind.

But unfortunately, through a layer of mask, this familiar feeling was immediately cut off and turned into a stranger as soon as it appeared.

"It's okay. How could Mayor Chen pay attention to us?" Turning his head and looking at Zhang Min's frightened face, Su Mo waved his hand: "Don't make such a fuss."

"Ah?" Zhang Min quickly turned his head after hearing the consolation. He didn't feel relieved until he made sure Chen Shen looked away.

This performance, in the eyes of Chen Kai next to him, actually made his eyes narrow slightly, as if he had grasped something important.

However, he couldn't say much on this occasion. He could only continue to stand side by side with Sumo and listen to Chen Shen's speech.

More than ten minutes passed, and after finishing talking about the Chen family's development path for the next year, Chen Shen's speaking speed slowed down.

"Tonight is a family dinner for my Chen family. Please don't restrain any foreign guests. Let's just communicate as much as you want."

"You are all the pillars of our Tianyuan Territory and our foundation. In the new year, we still need your full support to make our Tianyuan Territory better and stronger."

"I declare that the family dinner has officially begun!"

Boom!

After the words ended, the audience burst into applause again.

It wasn't until Chen Shen waved his hands continuously that everyone turned their heads and sat down again.

Not far away, the waiters who served food also received instructions and began to file out with various plates of food.

Following the crowd's rhythm, Su Mo also turned his head and sat at the table again, sitting next to Chen Kai.

But the other tables were full of fifteen people, and there were only three people at their table, so it was inevitably a bit empty.

"Mr. Su, do you mind if I call some people over to make it fun?"

"It's okay. Mayor Chen is so polite. This is originally a family banquet of the Chen family. How can we, foreign guests, just do as we please?" Sumo picked up the Coke casually and drank it again while smiling. A big mouthful.

But before he could swallow the big mouthful, Su Mo almost spat out when he saw Chen Kai clapping his hands to call the person over.

"Mayor Chen sit at our table?"

"Yeah, there are them." He pointed at twelve of the seventeen members of the first generation of the Chen family who came over. Chen Kai smiled maliciously like an old fox who had succeeded in his scheming.

Paired with the twitching scars on his neck.

Only then did Su Mo suddenly realize.

It turns out that the two of them have been at this banquet for so long and no one has come to chat with them, just like transparent people.

It's not that these people are unwilling to come because of their low status in Zi Liangfang, but that the Chen family has probably made arrangements for it long ago.

"Absolutely awesome!"

Turning his head, Su Mo couldn't help but feel a headache when he saw that Zhang Min was completely at a loss.

Tonight’s family dinner is indeed a Hongmen Banquet.

In the next few days, he may have to face a steady stream of "test attacks" from these dozen old foxes who have been crawling around in the wasteland for a long time.

It would be better if there were no game restrictions.

But if you accidentally spill the beans and get caught, even if you have another chance, it will be a big trouble.

"Mr. Su Youzong is really young and promising. I saw you and Chen Kai chatting and laughing from afar." The voice came before the person arrived.

Before he walked in, Chen Shen's loud voice came over first, attracting frequent glances from others around him.

"Mayor Chen is overly praised. Compared to you, I am so young and promising!" Sumo stood up and faced everyone who was approaching with a smile on his face.

This neither humble nor arrogant appearance surprised the other first-generation members who walked over.

"Oh? Compared with me, you are really interesting." Although Chen Shen's expression could not be seen under the silver mask, an obvious smile could be heard in his voice.

"They are all trained by Su Shen. They can be considered brothers. We can avoid these false etiquettes." Chen Shen was the first to sit down when he came. He behaved naturally.

Sumo followed suit and sat down without changing his expression, but his heart sank.

"Su Shen?"

"Haha, you are an interesting person, so let's not talk about it for now." After greeting the other first-generation members to sit down, Chen Shen clapped his hands, and immediately the clever waiter began to serve the dishes.

After a while, the originally empty table was filled with a variety of dishes with unique aromas.

"Eat first, then talk after you finish." Chen Shen moved the first chopstick neatly, and the others were not polite.

Suddenly, the entire food on the dining table began to be sucked in like a whirlwind of clouds. Zhang Min looked next to him and was stunned.

"Why do these people look like they haven't eaten?"

Looking from the left, after staring at Chen Shen for a while, Zhang Min muttered inwardly and turned around to look, only to realize that Su Mo had started eating so much that he didn't know when, and he didn't look unfamiliar at all.

Instead, she was left alone, like an outsider.

"Are you really here to eat?"

Feeling startled, Zhang Min could only pick up the chopsticks and start eating, fearing that he would be stared at by Chen Shen's piercing eyes again.

The storm continued until about half an hour passed and the table was in a mess.

Only then did everyone lean back in their chairs with satisfaction and slow down their eating speed.

"I thought Mr. Su would be a little surprised today, but I didn't expect you to get used to it so quickly." Seeing that there were several piles of residual bones gathered in front of Su Mo, Chen Kai took the lead to speak and broke the silence.

"We are in the end of the world, and danger will come at some point. You should practice how fast you eat early in the morning."

"What's more, this is one meal less than one meal. Now that food prices have risen so much, who knows if we will be able to afford it tomorrow?"

After calmly taking two steps back to give the waiter a space to clean up the garbage on the table, Somo said calmly.

"Oh? Mr. Su Youzong seems to have some opinions on the price of food in the territory?"

Chen Shen's long and narrow eyes under the mask were looking over, which was slightly piercing.

He originally thought that his side would be the first to launch the attack tonight, but he didn't expect that Sumo would take the lead and want to take the initiative?

"That's not true. Mayor Chen should know that although the price of food in our Tianyuan territory is rising, it is also stagnant in other territories, and the rate is even much greater than ours."

"I just feel a little emotional. What are the thoughts and ideas of these people who are manipulating the increase in food prices?"

"What's the idea? Of course you want to prey on ordinary people and compete for your own interests!"

Before Chen Shen could speak, Chen Yi, who was sitting next to him on the table, fired first with a cold tone.

"Originally, the price of food in the entire New World was going to rise last year under the manipulation of these beasts in Wuya Mansion. If our territory hadn't been forcibly sniped under the command of the clan leader, how could we have been able to last this year!"

"Su Youzong, you are also in the grain industry. Don't you know the relationship between supply and demand? Now the market demand is far greater than the supply. Isn't it natural that prices will rise?"

"Chen Yi, lower your voice." Chen Kai frowned and looked to the right.

"How could Mr. Su not know? If he hadn't developed the Stone Harvester, how could our Sangtian Town be able to recover some crops this time?"

"Harvesting? Just those 10,000 to 20,000 acres of land are not enough for anyone. Even the people of Sangtian Town can't feed themselves." Chen Yi's expression did not change, and he did not care at all about Chen Kai's words.

"Mr. Su, if the Nengshi Harvester can be announced in advance this time, our territory may be able to save all the land, but I don't know."

"I thought so too, but the territory didn't notify him of the disaster in advance, right?" Looking at Chen Yi's "angry face", Su Mo wasn't angry either, and just answered gently.

"Notify? Do you think you will hand over the technology of this stone harvester only after notifying the disaster? Do you know that it is because of your behavior that we have lost millions of acres of land this year?" Chen Yi suddenly His voice became stern and his eyes stared closely at him.

"That's enough! Chen Yi!" Chen Kai raised his voice.

"Not enough! In Xishou County, hundreds of thousands of acres of land have not been harvested this year. Tens of thousands of people will face survival problems in the second half of the year. This Su Youzong obviously has this technology, but he wants to hide it and seek personal gain."

"If you could announce this technology in advance, how could these tens of thousands of people end up in trouble?"

Questions like a flood suddenly broke out on the field.

At this moment, although Chen Yi's anger was only directed at Su Mo, Zhang Min's face was so frightened that Zhang Min turned pale and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

"I suggest that all of Zizailiangfang's harvest this year be returned to the territory and used as relief food!"

"Otherwise it will be difficult for the people to be angry!"

After eating and drinking, Chen Yi became arrogant and did not hide his malice.

Chen Kai on the side tried to dissuade him, but to no avail, he could only make a helpless expression.

Seeing everyone's eyes focused on him, Zhang Min's mind was in confusion and he wanted to hide, but there was no place to hide.

She didn't understand why everyone suddenly turned into this situation when they were talking very harmoniously just a moment ago.

She also didn't understand why Xishou County, which had nothing to gain, could suddenly place all the blame on other people.

But she knew that once all the gains from Zizai Liangfang this year were really confiscated.

Needless to say, an army of tens of thousands of people asking for wages can tear apart and carve up every member of the Zhang family.

The momentum they have finally gained will soon turn into a moon in the mirror and a flower in the water.

"What are you doing?"

Trembling, Zhang Min raised his head tremblingly, wanting to retort.

But the next second, a big warm hand pressed on her hand, making her stop.

Looking in the direction of the big hand, under the light, Somo's face was still calm, and there was no trace of anxiety or embarrassment.

Some still have the same indifference as before!

"Xishou County has flat terrain and sufficient water resources. It has a total of 50,000 acres of cultivated fields, which is the largest in Tianyuan territory. It is known as the "Tianyuan Granary" in the outside world. Among them, Xinghuo No. 3 wheat, Huahuo No. 1 wheat, Hongtian Mainly Lei No. 5 wheat, with an average yield of 1,755 kilograms in the territory. In the seven years of wasteland history, Xishou County harvested a total of 300,000 tons of wheat, with a total average yield of 1,605 kilograms per mu of land, ranking the lowest among the territory's seventy-four independent planting areas. Second, it is listed as a key regulatory target.”

"Xishou County has a total permanent population of 92,000 people. Based on the calculation of 400 kilograms of grain per person per year, it needs to produce a total of 18,000 tons of grain. Last year's grain harvest alone, excluding the development needs of other counties and cities, was enough. Supply food reserves for the entire population for at least five years.”

"According to Chapter 7 of the Tianyuan Territory Law and Article 18 of the Grain Reserve Law, each independent area manager must at least find a way to reserve grain surplus for the permanent population for at least one year each year, and any excess will not be allowed. Rewards, the manager will be responsible for making up the remainder.”

"According to Chapter 3 of the Tianyuan Territory Law, Articles 1, 3, and 9 of the Territory's Integrity Law, those who are listed as key supervision objects will automatically resign if they fail to meet the standards three consecutive times within a three-month period."

"County Magistrate Chen Yi, is my answer correct?"
