Chapter 616
In the early morning of the next day, Chen Fang stood on the top of the city wall brushing his teeth and washing his face with dark circles under his eyes, looking at the guards below the city who were checking people and goods from time to time, feeling very depressed.
After discussing the matter last night, everyone left separately. Chen Fang originally wanted to take the children back to the small courtyard, but was told by Yu Mei that he, the head of the city gate guard, had better live in the guard so that his subordinates could come to him when they had something to do. Find someone in time.
Chen Fang followed good example, went to the guard to discuss with Ao Guli that night, and made a decision to bring someone to guard the gate.
At the same time, Chen Fang chose the south gate with a lot of people, and arranged Ao Guli to the north gate, which was relatively quiet for the time being.
When staying at the city gate guard that night, Chen Fang slept in the same room as the guard.
As a result, before he could fall asleep, he heard snoring and smelled sweaty beriberi, and Chen Fang tossed and turned, trying not to fall asleep.
It wasn't that he was squeamish and couldn't stand it, it was because of his keen senses, snoring and beriberi, it was like someone was yelling in his ear with a trumpet and holding a smelly sock under his nose, it was really suffering.
In the end, I had to go to the office next door to prepare for the night.
But the city building is three conjoined bungalows, the rooms on both sides are allocated as dormitories, and the middle is an office, the smell is gone, but the snoring sound doubles through the wall, making Chen Fang sleepless all night, only in the early morning I slept soundly.
After not sleeping for a long time, the city gate below opened, and of course Chen Fang couldn't sleep anymore. After all, as the leader, you don't have to stand guard, but you can't get up early, you have to show your face in front of your subordinates, otherwise you will end up loose The people under him will follow suit.
Today is Chen Fang's first day on the job, and he woke up with cold water while feeling drowsy. After washing, Chen Fang went down to the city gate, and went to the breakfast stall nearby that signed a meal contract with the guard to get the extra breakfast. , personally delivered it to the guards who were changing shifts.
The guard was naturally flattered to receive the breakfast from Chen Fang.
Although they can eat by themselves, after all, the leader picked it up and delivered it himself, and the amount was increased, which made them feel warm and warm in their hearts. They all felt that this leader was approachable and worked hard. .
Chen Fang smiled slightly as he looked at the energetic subordinates who carefully screened and inspected the goods of passing pedestrians.
The social degree is not enough, they are all simple people.
After staying at the gate of the city for a while, the guards worked hard to do things according to the method he explained last night, and Chen Fang left satisfied to do some things.
He first went to the castle to ask for money from Meimei, and planned to build a new dormitory for the guards to live in next to the city gate.
Chen Fang will have this idea, Yu Gong, to build the dormitory near the city gate, which will help the guards to respond quickly in case of accidents, and the previous dormitory is too small, ten people squeezed into one room, although sooner or later According to the shift arrangement, there are usually only five people resting in a room at the same time, but personal items and salutes are piled up in a room, which is still crowded. It can be done now, but in the future, it is impossible to have only forty people guarding the city gate. rebuilt.
Personally, Chen Fang wanted to monopolize the three rooms in the tower, one bedroom, one for office and one for forging studio.
To build a new dormitory, it would cost money to hire craftsmen to buy materials, so Chen Fang approached Yumei, but Yumei told him that Mrs. Mili was in charge of the finances, so he had to go to her for money.
After Chen Fang heard this, he went to Mrs. Mili, and by the way, he also wanted to ask about the situation of the child he brought back.
When he came to Mrs. Mili's office, Chen Fang saw that she was taking care of her baby while working.
After seeing Chen Fang, Mrs. Mili was very enthusiastic, because she learned from Wenkou that this child was brought back by Chen Fang, and that she and her husband can fulfill their dreams for many years, so naturally, I would like to thank you as much as possible. .
Chen Fanglian said that he didn't need to thank him too much, it was because Mrs. Mili and the child got together by fate, and he was just sending leaves with the wind.
After seeing that the children were well taken care of, and seeing that Mrs. Mili was very enthusiastic, Chen Fang asked for money to build a dormitory while the iron was hot.
As a result, as soon as the money was mentioned, Mrs. Mili changed her attitude and told him that it was okay to want money, but she had to get the consent of the city lord and bring the official document of approval before he could take money from her.
Naturally, Chen Fang would not feel that Mrs. Mili was making things difficult for him because of her quick change of face. This is a necessary procedure, of course he knew it.
After leaving Mrs. Mili, Chen Fang went to Gong Xiaobai to approve the official document, but was told that he was only responsible for signing and stamping the official document, and he had to go to his aunt, who was charming, to apply for the official document.
After hearing this, Chen Fang went back to look for Charming in pain.
"You seem to be teasing me."
Chen Fang stared at Mei Mei.
"You only asked me for money, and I didn't take care of the money, so of course I asked you to go to the person who took care of the money." Charming said with a smile.
"Okay, I didn't make it clear, but you can also remind me of the process for asking for money." Chen Fang said depressingly.
"Forget it, forget it, I don't have time to tell you such useless things."
"Tell me, how to apply?"
"Write a written application, stating why you want to build a dormitory and why you need it."
Charming took out a piece of white paper and patted it.
"Then what, why don't you help me write, you know, I don't know many words." Chen Fang scratched his head and said shyly.
"I'm very busy, so I don't have time to help you."
Charming pointed to a pile of documents on the table.
"I'll go, how can there be so many things to deal with in the dilapidated city of Unyielding."
Chen Fang was surprised to see the piles of documents that nearly filled the desktop to the height of a person.
"It's because there are so many shabby things." Charming smiled wryly.
"Oh, then you are busy, I will ask someone to write it for me, and I will go to Xiaobai for approval after I finish writing it."
After Chen Fang finished speaking, he wanted to leave, but was stopped by Mei Mei.
"You can't send it directly. It needs to be reviewed and stamped by me, and then Xiaobai's approval will be valid."
Charming picked up the seal on the table and pointed it at Chen Fangliang.
"Just give me this chapter of white paper to cover, and I'll save myself doing it again." Chen Fang handed over the white paper.
"Chen Fang, do you think this is appropriate?" Mei Mei rubbed her temples.
"It's a bit inappropriate, but you still don't believe in my character. You don't know about messy things. If you say that building a dormitory is building a dormitory, you won't take extra money or be corrupt. We know each other so well, so we should handle special things."
Of course, Chen Fang knew that without rules, nothing could be achieved, but he didn't want to embezzle or cause trouble, he just wanted to get money quickly to build a dormitory.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore, let me tell you the truth, Indomitable City can't afford any extra money now, if you want to build a dormitory, you have to wait or find a way by yourself." Charming said.
"Why?"
"Except for the necessary funds, all the rest of the money has been used to buy weapons produced by the Dawes family. Now the remaining money in Unyielding City is useful, and there is really no way to allocate it for other things." Charming said.
"It's not that the weapons of the Daos family are all given away, why do you need money to buy them?" Chen Fang was puzzled.
"A batch of weapons has been funded, but it is far from enough for Unyielding City. The money that should be spent still needs to be spent."
"Unyielding City's finances are so difficult now, as the sponsor, don't your Wu family provide more?" Chen Fang joked.
Charming shook her head, "It's not that I don't want to provide more, it's now the main source of income for the Wu family, the business alliance, basically can only barely maintain the business, and it's my best effort to maintain the investment I needed before, and this won't last long .”
"Ah, the business alliance business is so big, how could it be...could it be..."
Chen Fang suddenly thought that the business of the Wu Family Business Alliance all over the Federation should be affected by the situation in the Federation.
"Now the federation is getting more and more chaotic. Cities are beginning to block various resources in their own domains and restrict trading. Although the business alliance can still purchase some resources for trading, it is not as good as before."
"There have been riots in several cities in the east, and the federal parliament has been fighting everywhere. As a result, due to the multi-party operation, the troops have been divided, and they have been defeated for a few times. Seeing this situation, many cities that have been watching have come up with ideas and are stepping up their efforts to arm themselves. , and even more impacted the business alliance's operations."
"I thought about it for a while, and our Wu family can't provide any money."
Sadness hung on her charming and pretty face.
"Well, since I have financial difficulties, I'll find a way to solve it myself." Chen Fang touched his chin and said.
