There are not many soul-thinking people. Generally speaking, a small city like Black Rock City will not be equipped with a soul-thinking people branch here. This is a privilege of a big city, but Udir has great feelings for his hometown, so he insists on staying here and refuses to develop in a better place.

Now that he has passed away, if the city has not yet taken office within a month, the branch will be abolished. As a soul-thought-hearted student and as a personal student of Udir, it is reasonable to inherit the branch president. Moreover, if he does not take office, then no one else can take this position. Frances can't be the branch president. He is too young and is not suitable at all.

The branch president of the association must be a thoughtful person, and there is no such thing as an agent president. Therefore, ordinary people cannot sit in this position. If someone dares to do this, the outcome will be very tragic.

Chen Xiansong brought Bai Min and the little guy Frances to the branch. He was warmly welcomed before he even entered the door. This is normal. The association's salary is very high and it is more than enough to support his family. Moreover, the people working here have an invisible superior status and are very proud of going out. Even the little nobles have to speak up when they see them, but if the branch is abolished, all this will be gone.

Udir's study was not moved intact, and it was very clean inside. Every day, someone came to clean it. Chen Xiansong opened the window and let the sun shine into the room. Looking at the familiar scenery, the familiar people were gone, and his heart was full of gloom. The little guy stood aside and was very obedient. She knew that the teacher was in a bad mood and did not want to make noises to make things difficult for others.

"President, please mention what you need." The person who spoke was the vice president here and the great businessman Pilg Russell. Part of the funds of the association were always allocated from the association, and the other part was raised by the vice president. Don't think that the vice president's work is very hard in this way. With the association behind it, there are always many preferential treatments when doing business.

Originally, Chen Xiansong didn't want to be a president. He was not interested in things like power. What's more, the Soul Thinker Association is now in a split situation, and it is even more troublesome to become the president. It's just the last words left by Udir in the book. I sincerely hope that he can become the president and protect and take care of the people in Black Rock City.

"How much liquidity is still in the association now?" Chen Xiansong asked while sitting on the chair.

"Excluding the last digit, there are 290,000 gold coins in the association, more than half of which are the sum of the savings left by the nobles in the association." Pilg is a man with short brown hair and a national-shaped face, and looks very steady: "The 10,000 gold coins that should have been distributed last month have not been paid. In addition, there is another investment that has not been collected yet. It is estimated that the return of about 6,000 gold coins will be made."

The funds of the association have not arrived. It should be related to the struggle between the two factions. Chen Xiansong nodded and said, "In other words, the funds in the association are expected to be sufficient now, right?"

Pilg sighed: "These money was saved by the old president and he was reluctant to spend it indiscriminately. He always said that he had no ability. First, he was not good at knowledge and structure, and second, he did not know how to build cities, so he could only save the money. When one day someone smarter than him inherited his position... When you became a student of the old president, he was really happy. I heard that he was so excited that he couldn't sleep well for several days."

Chen Xiansong was silent, the sun was bright outside the house, and cicadas were chirping. After a while, he asked, "Did the teacher leave any unfinished projects?"

Pilger shook his head.

"Then it's the same." Chen Xiansong opened a note on the desktop about this year, which recorded some Udir's messy and whimsical ideas. From his perspective, the things on it were very childish and almost impossible to achieve. It turned out that the teacher also had this side. Chen Xiansong smiled slightly and continued, "I just took over the association, and I don't understand many things, so I won't give orders randomly."

This is a prudent move and a very correct behavior. Pilg felt relieved. It is certainly a good thing for the association to find a successor, but young people are prone to impulsiveness and a little irritable in their work. He was afraid that Chen Xiansong would make decisions when he came to the association. However, now it seems that the new president and the old president are very steady people, and they can only be said to be worthy of being a master and apprentice.

"President, what day will your succession party be booked?" asked Pilger.

"It's up to you to decide. I don't know much about these things." Chen Xiansong stood up and walked to the bookshelf. There was a big map of Black Rock City. Because the current mapping technology was not up to standard, Chen Xiansong looked for a long time before finding the Graystone Village from above.

"Then what to book tonight," said Pilg. "If you make invitations now, there is still plenty of time, and the food villages in the association are also sufficient. There should be no problem with holding a sumptuous banquet."

"It's up to you." Chen Xiansong looked on the map for a while, pointed to a blank space on it and said: "Vice President, where is this place? From the map, it seems to be a flat land."

Pilg came over and looked for a while and said, "If I remember correctly, it is a swamp in the west of the city, and there is no river nearby, but there are wet soil all year round. Except for some moss, almost nothing else can grow. President, if nothing happens, I will go out to prepare first. After all, your succession banquet can be done more grandly."

"Actually, there is no need to be such a trouble." Chen Xiansong replied.

Pilg said seriously: "President, that's not possible. You are the representative of our branch. If the banquet is over, how do other nobles view us... This is not only for your majesty, but also for the honor of our entire branch. Now there are some problems with our association headquarters, but the more this happens, our branch will hold your successor banquet. We must never let other nobles watch our jokes."

It seems that the deputy president is also a very responsible person. Chen Xiansong chuckled: "Well, then let's hold it more grandly. It doesn't matter if you spend more money. At worst, I will make it back in a while."

Pilger's eyes lit up. He was a person who knew the ability of the new president. Whether it was a water wheel or an off-season vegetable, it was quite amazing. If the branch could get the method of making the water wheel, he would come in for business operations and not make more than one million gold coins within ten years, he would immediately step down.

After suppressing his excited mind, Pilge gave a slight bow and went out to prepare for the banquet. He felt that there would be a chance to discuss the issue of the waterwheel business with the new president in the future, and now he is not in a hurry.

Chen Xiansong stayed in the study for a while, then left the association, got on the carriage, and came to the swamp west of the city in the direction pointed by the map. Balff was a coachman, and he was very familiar with Black Rock City. After hearing about the target location, he soon drove Chen Xiansong to his destination in the carriage.

As Pilg said, it was a barren swamp. The carriage stopped far away and dared not go there anymore. Chen Xiansong stood on a hard ground and threw a stone from afar. He saw that the stone fell into the mud with a sound. Such a land could not be transformed into farmland.

Chen Xiansong was very disappointed. When he returned to the city, he sat on the carriage and lay down by the car window in a daze. He saw a mountain. The terrain was not very steep. There was a white belt on it bent down the mountain. The carriage gradually approached along the road. Then he found that the white belts in the mountain were mountain streams, and there were mountain springs gushing out from the top of the mountain, which became such a landscape.

Unfortunately, it was not on the ground. Otherwise, if there was a water source, it would be possible to reclaim another fertile field that could be farmed. When Chen Xiansong was about to sigh, a sudden flash of inspiration in his mind... He remembered that there was a "terraced nature reserve" in the 22nd century, and those rice was planted on the mountains.

Thinking of this, he asked Balff to drive the carriage to the edge of the mountain, jumped out of the car, picked some soil at the foot of the mountain for Bai Min to show, and asked, "Xiao Min, do you think you can create a terrace on this mountain, how about? There are mountain springs here, as long as the water diversion canal is built, I don't think it's a big problem."

Bai Min analyzed the soil for a while, then checked the slope of the mountain, and replied: "It's feasible."

Chen Xiansong also felt that it was feasible, but with Bai Min's affirmation, he felt that this would definitely work. However, this mountain is the private territory of Heiyan City and should belong to the city lord. If you want to build terraces on it, you must buy it first, so you have to go to the city lord's mansion.

About half an hour later, Chen Xiansong's carriage stopped in front of the city lord's mansion. After reporting his identity, the guards at the door went in to report the message in panic. Not long after, Zelonger walked out and said with some surprise: "Didn't the association just now send an invitation to the banquet? Why did you come here to come in person again?"

"I want to talk to your city lord's mansion for some things." Chen Xiansong smiled.

"Ms. Bai is still so beautiful." Zelonger bowed slightly to Bai Min, his eyes fell on the little guy, and then he looked at Chen Xiansong with contempt and sneered: "There are two beautiful ladies Bai who can't even satisfy you. Now they are still trying to tossing the little girl, are you still human."

Although Chen Xiansong and Zelonger had some conflicts at the beginning, the two of them later settled their past grudges and their relationship was pretty good. It was not uncommon to occasionally make some small jokes that were harmless.

When the little guy heard this, he happily held his little face with both hands and said shyly: "It doesn't matter, I can do whatever the teacher does..."

Zelonger was stunned for a few seconds, then looked at Chen Xiansong and said, "Teacher? This girl is your student? It seems that your life in the future will not be easy."

Chen Xiansong smiled bitterly: "I am mentally prepared for this. I won't talk about anything else. Wouldn't you invite us in? No matter what you say, I have to invite me to a fruit bar first."
