038 Say something in your heart
This time, the purchase was mainly based on building materials, plus some daily necessities. Robert rented more than a dozen freight carriages and hired several workers who knew how to build houses from the market to accompany him. Chen Xiansong looked at this situation and said with some concern: "Robert, there are so many people, and we don't have enough places to move in for them, if it rains."
"Please rest assured, Your Excellency Chen." Robert smiled and said, "We have experience in this matter. First build some simple sheds for them to live in. If you work together, it will take only three or four hours to build their houses. It will not be too late to slowly build their houses in the future."
Hearing this, Chen Xiansong felt much more at ease. After returning to the Graystone Village, Chen Xiansong sought Aslan's consent and designated a nearby barren mountain with water sources, along with about 100 acres of wasteland around him as his territory. After reaching the destination, more than 30 young and strong poor people began to unload the construction wood of the freight carriage under the command of construction workers, preparing to build temporary houses for themselves near the water source at the foot of the mountain, while the old and weak used daily necessities on the truck to cook on the spot and prepare supper.
Chen Xiansong was almost broken in the carriage. It was too bumpy along the way. He invited Robert to sit in. The latter thought for a while. Now these newly moved people have started to work spontaneously and do not need his supervision. Anyway, they have nothing to do, so it is also a good choice to visit the home of the new soul thinker.
Sitting in the living room, Robert looked around and suggested to Chen Xiansong hesitantly: "Your Excellency, is your house too simple? Some of it is not worthy of your identity? Should you build a room next to it? You can apply for construction funds from the association, and the minimum amount is 1,000 gold coins."
"That's not necessary, I live quite comfortably." Chen Xiansong waved his hand with a smile.
Robert quickly said, "Your Excellency is so simple. Other nobles should learn from you." Robert can be arrogant to others and never give up on his own, but he knew that he was just a "dog" of the association. His current identity and "power" all come from the association behind him. The soul-thinking person is the core figure of the association. Before he knew the character of the young soul-thinking person in front of him, it would be no harm to be careful and say more flattering words.
Hearing these flattering words, Chen Xiansong was a little amused. He was really not used to others communicating with him in such a humble manner. However, this is the atmosphere of this era. He was powerless to correct it, so he had to adapt as much as possible: "It's not simple, I just don't know what it needs."
At this time, Bai Min made flower tea on the side, which she bought just now in the city. She served a cup for each of them, then Yingying stood firm and asked Chen Xiansong: "What do you want to eat for dinner?"
"It's okay." Chen Xiansong immediately turned his head and asked Robert: "Hisser Robert, do you have any hobbies or things that you should avoid?"
"I'll just do whatever I want, I'll bother you." Robert said with his teacup with his eyebrows down. He didn't dare to look at Bai Min, not because she was Chen Xiansong's "woman". He was just simply afraid of Bai Min, because as an experienced warrior, he knew that the girl in white and gorgeous clothes in front of him had extremely terrifying strength.
Bai Min turned to the kitchen, and as she left, Robert breathed a sigh of relief. He felt a little damp on his back. The pressure on Bai Min was too great. Chen Xiansong noticed his abnormality and asked curiously: "What's wrong with you? I feel uncomfortable?"
Robert smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not afraid of your joke when I say it. I'm scared by your maid."
Chen Xiansong was stunned for a moment, then made a puzzled expression, saying that he didn't understand what it meant. Seeing this, Robert explained, and then said: "Actually, with Ms. Bai Min's ability, appearance, temperament, and even being elected as the Sun Saint, I am really envious of her ability, appearance, and personality."
Hearing this, Chen Xiansong felt something, and he sighed: "Xiao Min is indeed amazing. In comparison, I am like a novice who is greedy for a soft meal. But then again, the book "Natural People's Necessary Self-cultivation and World View" also says that we natural men are born with a weak meal."
Robert couldn't understand what "natural person" is, but he still understood the word "soft rice". The meaning of the word has not changed for tens of thousands of years. He said seriously: "You are too arrogant. Who dares to say that the soul-thought minder is a soft rice? When Lord Udir was young, he was just a farmer who knew nothing. After becoming a soul-thought minder, it took a long time to become outstanding. Who dares to underestimate him now? You are still very young, it just takes time. Of course, you have enough time."
Chen Xiansong suddenly came to this world, always turbid and turbid, unable to touch the direction, and he has no ability for the time being, so he depends on Xiao Min to support everything. It is definitely a lie to say that he is not anxious, but he usually hides it well, but now he feels much more comfortable after being comforted by others.
The two talked for a while, and during the process, Robert gradually realized that Chen Xiansong seemed to be very easy to talk to. Some of his words were hidden in his stomach. He hesitated for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Your Excellency, in fact, some words, I say them. Maybe you will be unhappy, but I still feel that I should say them to you."
Seeing that he was speaking solemnly, Chen Xiansong put his hand down, which was about to pick up the cup to drink tea: "Oh, please say anything."
Robert said: "Although our Soul Thinker Association does not have any direct conflicts in the Sun Temple, privately, both sides are not very friendly, and I don't know the specific reasons." Speaking of this, Robert looked at Chen Xiansong and saw that he had no bad reactions, he continued: "You are very young, and Lord Udir is also optimistic about you. He thinks that you will definitely occupy an important position in the association in the future. However, you seem to be too close to Ms. Bai Min, which may cause dissatisfaction among the senior leaders of the association!"
Chen Xiansong was stunned for a moment, thought carefully about the other party's words, and then he was surprised: "You mean... do you think Xiaomin is from the Sun Temple?"
Robert was surprised: "Isn't it? How is this possible? Except for the Sun God servant, who else has such terrible strength at such a young age."
Chen Xiansong chuckled: "Don't worry, Xiao Min is not from any force, and there is no country. She is just my relative, that's all. I am very grateful for your concern. I'll bother you."
Robert was not sure what Chen Xiansong said was true, but he could only believe it, at least on the surface he had to believing it.
On the hillside at the entrance of the village, Aslan looked at the newly relocated residents who were busy building wooden sheds not far away and sighed. In the evening, the night seemed a little dark, just like his mood at the moment. An old man with a cane was slowly walking over next to him. He bent his old thin waist and looked at the situation in the distance with Aslan. After a while, he said: "Big nephew, are you still thinking about the farmland questions raised by those two little guys?"
Aslan nodded: "Yes, we are unwilling to do it, but they can find people who are willing to do this. Second Uncle, you see, those people are now just poor people, but I believe that they will definitely live better than anyone in our village in the future. I remember the Sun God servant often said that opportunities are fleeting, and if you can't grasp them, you will regret it for the rest of your life."
The old man who was the second uncle said lightly: "But the Sun God servant also said that stability is the basis of everything. I admit that those two little guys look aristocratic, and I also believe that they are nobles, but I don't believe that they can be better than those of us who have been digging food in the fields for decades in farming."
Aslan said, "But he is a soul-thinking person, maybe he has a way."
"A soul-thinking person is also a human being, and he also needs to accumulate knowledge. If he is over forty years old, I believe it, but no matter how he thinks, he is at most fifteen or sixteen years old, about the same age as Little Alex." The second uncle Feng said calmly: "Let them do it first. If it doesn't work, we will not lose it. If it works, we will imitate it. He is Alex's teacher. There is no reason not to teach his students about this knowledge."
Aslan sighed and didn't say anything again. But he thought in his heart: Xiao Song is Alex's teacher, but we rejected him once and didn't trust him. What would he think? You said that the other party is also a human being. As long as he is a human being, he will hold grudges. Even if he doesn't hold grudges, he will remember this matter and feel grudges. Once it is done in the future, what is it? A fence-bearing swaying with the wind?
Aslan wanted to say this, but the second uncle was his elder after all. His thoughts were a little harsh. If it seemed too big or small, there was no difference between old or young. Therefore, he could only sigh and then worry.
Robert had a nice meal at Chen Xiansong, and when he came out, he saw that most of the newly moved poor people had moved into newly built simple wooden shed houses. He had nothing to do next, so he took a few construction workers back to Heitu City.
In the Soul Thinker Association, Robert spoke to Udir in detail the conversation he had with Chen Xiansong not long ago, and the latter frowned: "Robert, you are not doing this well, who told you to say these words to Xiaosong on your own."
Robert looked shocked and lowered his head: "It's Meng Lang."
"Forget it, that's good. At least we know that Xiao Song's woman has nothing to do with the Sun Temple." Udir said curiously: "I didn't expect that besides them, there are people who can cultivate such powerful women. The power behind Xiao Song seems to have a lot of background."
Robert continued: "It has been two thousand years since the founding of the Zhendan Kingdom. Although it is not as good as the three thousand years of history of the Solomon Dynasty, it is not much different. At least it is stronger than our Kate Kingdom. It should not be strange if there are several large families with long-standing roots."
Udir nodded, expressing his agreement with his subordinates' opinions, and then he suddenly smiled: "You seem to be having a lot of food in Xiaosong, I see that your stomach is full."
Robert's face turned red: "Ms. Bai Min's food is quite delicious, much better than the ones in the lord's mansion. In addition, Lord Chen Xiansong is also very enthusiastic, and I ate a lot when I didn't pay attention." Bai Min's cooking skills were inherited from the new human era. After figuring out the flavors and colors of animals and plants in this era, cooking was a very simple thing for her. Even if there were no many seasonings, she could use the original taste of the food to create delicious dishes.
Robert had no other hobbies, he just loved food. Under the temptation of food, he actually forgot the pressure Bai Min brought to him and ate it out loud.
