Chapter 200: Someone Always Takes The Fall! Sudden Information!
In the center of Chen Han’s palm, a tender green flower fell. He recognized it at a glance: this was an elm flower, which would later turn into elm seeds.
But elms usually bloom in spring, and the flowering period had long passed.
So this must also be the effect of the Hundred Flowers Sweet Dew Talisman.
He had not thought about these Three Old Elm Trees before, but when he thought about it, elm flowers were also flowers.
Looking up, through the dense gaps among the elm seed branches and leaves, he could see the elm flowers growing there in considerable numbers, all very fresh and tender.
Elm seeds actually have many uses.
In years of famine, they could even become life-saving food.
Because they are rich in protein, vitamins, and other nutrients.
Moreover, elm seeds also have medicinal value; they can strengthen the spleen and stomach, clear heat and promote urination, and even have calming and sleep-aid effects.
In the eyes of the older generation, the older the old elm tree, the better the effect of its elm seeds.
These three Old Elm Trees of the Chen Clan were already ancient trees, and the clan members all believed their effect was very good.
This spring, quite a few clan members who stayed behind had picked a lot of elm seeds from these three elm trees to dry or to brew wine.
When they encountered these symptoms, they would take out the dried elm seeds to boil in water, or drink a little elm seed wine.
Now what Chen Han was thinking was that these Three Old Elm Trees were not only ancient trees, but were also washed by special spiritual energy every day, so they had received a lot of spiritual energy’s influence.
Under such circumstances, the elm seeds grown from them certainly could not be compared to normal elm seeds, right?
Thinking this, he also stored that elm flower in the Game Warehouse to check its status.
【Ancient elm flower: this is a flower grown from an ancient elm tree. Because the ancient elm has absorbed spiritual energy, it has undergone some special changes. When this elm flower grows into elm seeds, it may have special effects!】
This Remark Information also let Chen Han know his guess was correct.
With the spiritual energy rinse of the Special Spiritual Aperture, even the Fence Wall could gain huge benefits. These Three Old Elm Trees were still around the Spiritual Aperture, so how could they not be affected by the spiritual energy surging out?
People say ancient trees have spirits. By that saying, under daily spiritual energy rinse, the benefits these Three Old Elm Trees could gain were certainly more than that Fence and the wild vines.
However, elm flowers still needed some time to fully grow into elm seeds, and there was currently no Method to verify it.
They could only wait.
Thinking this, he picked up the Little White Rabbit and got on You Fu to leave.
…
Linhe County.
Early in the morning, after Chu Ping arrived at his Office, his Secretary came in and handed him several Documents. “County Magistrate Chu, these are the follow-up support approval Documents for those bamboo product companies.”
He immediately took the Documents and started reading. For the bamboo product factories previously brought in through Investment Promotion, he hoped to make full use of Linhe County’s Mao Bamboo resources.
If the development went well, it would definitely increase a considerable amount of Tax Revenue and job Positions.
Now the Ancient City Area Tourism Project had been finalized, and the Renovation was accelerating. At that time, these bamboo product companies could also make some traditional bamboo products combined with the Ancient City Area Tourism Promotion.
For a Poor Small County like Linhe County, any opportunity for development could not be missed, because development was too difficult.
It was all because of the mess left by those before them, owing so many billions, and, crucially, demolishing the old Buildings and developing modern Buildings, destroying Linhe County’s best resource as one of the Ancient Cities.
They wanted to recklessly enjoy Tourism Project Bonuses like those other Ancient Cities, but they had no way to do so.
Now they were also relying on the Chen Clan to decide to build a small Ancient City Area.
Just as he was thinking this, Chen Kai hurriedly ran in, still panting. “County Magistrate Chu, big news, something big has happened again with the Chen Clan…”
“What is it?” Chu Ping subconsciously stood up.
If anything happened to the Chen Clan, it would directly affect the subsequent Tourism Development of Linhe County.
“Look at these videos.” As Chen Kai spoke, he quickly handed over a Mobile Phone. On it were the News about the Chen Clan he had saved early that morning.
Chu Ping took it and looked.
The first Video was about the rain at the Chen Clan last night.
The second Video was also about the rain at the Chen Clan.
The difference was that the first Video was shot inside the Chen Clan, while the second was shot in Shangyuan Village. Last night it rained over the Chen Clan, yet Shangyuan Village did not get a single drop.
Chu Ping was puzzled. “It’s just rain, nothing special. It’s not rare for it to rain on one side of the street and not the other.”
Chen Kai immediately said, “County Magistrate Chu, keep watching the next Video.”
Chu Ping clicked the next Video with some confusion and immediately froze for a moment.
The Video showed yard walls covered with climbing flowers, forming very beautiful flower walls.
No one knew where this Place was, but it could be recommended that the Chen Clan do the same.
The Chen Clan’s Courtyard walls seemed to be just like those in the Video.
But the voice in the Video surprised him. “This is incredible. After staying one night at the Chen Clan, all the flowers in this courtyard have fully bloomed…”
So this was the Chen Clan?
No wonder the yard looked so familiar.
He quickly watched the next Videos and grew more and more astonished.
These Videos were all filmed from different locations, showing the flower walls of those Courtyards in the Chen Clan.
And all those Courtyards of the Chen Clan had been planted with flower walls. The key point was that they were all in full bloom, and even the Courtyards were filled with flowers.
The scenes were simply stunning.
The key thing was that the Videos all said these flower walls of the Chen Clan had all bloomed overnight and swore that the flower walls had only been planted yesterday.
Once again, the Chen Clan had flowers blooming overnight; once again, it was full of Mysterious Phenomena.
Chu Ping carefully recalled that when he had previously gone to the Chen Clan, he had indeed not seen those flower walls.
When he went to the Chen Clan yesterday to sound out the Chen Family Head, he did see some Courtyards planting flower walls.
So what was said in these Videos was true.
Suddenly, the next Video made his eyes widen directly.
The Video showed that Qionghua Tree Forest of the Chen Clan; all those Qionghua Trees had bloomed.
Even that Dust Removal Formation Stone Tablet had been filmed.
Yesterday he had still been thinking that when this Qionghua Tree Forest of the Chen Clan bloomed next year, it would definitely be very beautiful, and that maybe they could make up a story, saying that the blooming of these Qionghua Trees was related to this Stone Tablet.
As he thought of this, he suddenly froze.
Could it really be related to this Stone Tablet?
Otherwise, how could those flower walls of the Chen Clan and this Qionghua Tree Forest blooming be explained?
Yesterday this Dust Removal Formation Stone Tablet had just been erected, and today those flowers of the Chen Clan bloomed overnight. How could it be unrelated?
Realizing this, he subconsciously asked Chen Kai, “Were we fooled again by the Chen Family Head’s talk of believing in science?”
Chen Kai subconsciously nodded.
Previously they had kept asking the Chen Family Head whether this Stone Tablet had any special Effect, and the Chen Family Head kept saying to believe in Science.
Later, after seeing the Stone Tablet erected and seeing no special Effect appear, they had also believed that this time it was truly about believing in Science.
They had simply gotten their hopes up for nothing.
Now only one night had passed, and the Chen Clan had pulled this off, making their scalps tingle.
They did not believe for a second that the Chen Family Head did not know about this.
The key thing was that even if he did know, he would only say to them, “Believe in science!”
They were on the side of believing in Science, but still…
Sigh.
In the end, Chu Ping let out a sigh. Even though he knew in his heart, he had to put himself in the right position.
He immediately instructed Chen Kai, “You must now carefully monitor the Chen Clan’s tourist situation. I am afraid the Chen Clan is about to usher in another peak.”
Chen Kai immediately said, “Indeed. Early this morning I had people monitor it. The Chen Clan’s Ticket sales are going faster than usual. I have already had people contact the Chen Clan to suggest they increase the daily Ticket sales quota.”
“Adding that Qionghua Tree Sea of Flowers, selling 300 more tickets a day is no problem. If we push the Limit, 500 is also possible.”
Hearing this, Chu Ping sighed again.
It was not that the Chen Clan could not attract more Tourists; the main issue was that there were too few Projects at the Chen Clan, and their reception Limit was there.
If the County’s Ancient City Area was completed and opened, then they could arrange a joint ticket with the Chen Clan. Tourists could first visit the Ancient City Area and then go to the Chen Clan, or go to the Chen Clan first and then the Ancient City Area.
This way, the Tourists attracted by the Chen Clan could increase by another 1,000 people, and pushing the Limit would not be impossible.
Naturally, at the beginning, the Ancient City Area would not consider making money from joint tickets. On the contrary, they would give them away for free, using the Traffic attracted by the Chen Clan to gain recognition for the Ancient City Area.
If the Ancient City Area could not retain Tourists and even got complaints and bad reviews, then it would mean the County was too incompetent and might as well find some tofu to bash themselves to death.
So, to prevent this situation, the County had also set up a special supervision group led by the culture and Tourism side to keep watch.
They had to make this small Ancient City Area good.
“Let’s go to the Chen Clan and have a look.” Chu Ping decided to visit the Chen Clan Scene and observe the actual situation.
He would also test the Chen Family Head again, even if he knew he would still only get the answer “believe in science.”
“Alright.” Chen Kai nodded. After the two left the Office, they had a car prepared and went to the Chen Clan.
When they arrived at the Chen Clan, just after getting out of the car in the Parking Lot, they could see in the distance that Qionghua Tree Forest and the snow-like blooming Qionghua scene.
There were already many Tourists gathered there filming Videos, obviously attracted by the blooming Qionghua Tree Forest.
Chu Ping and Chen Kai walked toward that side. As they approached, they felt even more the enthusiasm of the Tourists, each holding a Mobile Phone and shooting the Qionghua Forest.
Looking at that fully blooming Qionghua Forest, they could understand; it was too beautiful, catching the eye at a glance.
It was clearly visible that the flowers of these Qionghua Trees were more beautiful than normal.
After the two saw the beauty of the Qionghua Trees with their own eyes, they subconsciously looked toward that Stone Tablet. Then Chu Ping could not wait and called the Chen Family Head.
After adding water to the Medicinal Cuisine, Chen Han was in the Courtyard brewing Bone Wine with the bones of the Thunder Bamboo Spirit Beast when he received the call. Seeing it was this Leader, he told him his Location.
Chu Ping and Chen Kai naturally knew where Chen Han’s Courtyard was. After hanging up, they went straight into the Chen Clan and headed there, and saw the Chen Family Head fiddling with a few Bones.
“Chen Family Head, are you brewing Medicinal Wine?” Chu Ping asked with Curiosity. “May I ask what Symptoms this Medicinal Wine can treat?”
Chen Han stood up and invited the two to sit. “County Magistrate Chu is joking. Our Chen Clan does not know medicine, nor how to brew Medicinal Wine to treat illnesses. This is just simple Bone Wine, just for fun.”
Chu Ping and Chen Kai exchanged a look.
Just for fun?
They did not believe a word.
It was not as if they did not know how powerful the Chen Clan was in treating illness. Was it not Old Mr. Wang, whose eyes were cured, who then donated money to help the Chen Clan build a road? And was it not Liu Dong, whose rheumatism and paralysis Symptoms were cured, who donated a whole mountain to the Chen Clan as a Merit Industry and was now investing to help the Chen Clan develop a rapeseed flower industry?
However, they also understood that the Chen Clan did not have a medical license and could easily be criticized, so the Chen Clan would never admit they could treat diseases.
Thinking of this, Chu Ping recalled that ten thousand mu of Rapeseed Planting Land.
Those ten thousand mu had long been Contracted.
Liu Dong was willing to spend Money. Many of those lands had already been developed and were just waiting for Rapeseed Seeds to be planted.
Previously, because the Chen Family Head wanted to plant ten thousand mu of rapeseed based on a Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation’s dream, they had all thought that the Season for planting rapeseed had already passed, and planting now would be a thankless task.
Now, seeing these flowers blooming overnight at the Chen Clan, they were no longer sure.
Chu Ping did not forget the Serious Matter and took the opportunity to test again. “Chen Family Head, did those flowers blooming overnight at the Chen Clan today happen because of that Stone Tablet that you previously overlooked?”
The question came suddenly, but Chen Han was already prepared. He smilingly handed him a Video. “County Magistrate Chu, that is just an Ordinary Stone Tablet. You must believe in Science. Did those professors in plant-related fields not already popularize this（Chapter 126）?”
Even though Chu Ping had guessed that the Chen Family Head would still say to believe in science, his cheeks still twitched when he saw the Video Chen Han handed over.
Why was it still this “flower-researcher Professor Liu”?
Previously, when the Offering Flowers at the Chen Clan had bloomed overnight, this guy had come out to popularize science; now he did it again. And in this Video, his explanation was basically the same old thing.
“…I said before it was for this reason. This time the flowers at the Chen Clan bloomed overnight again, which shows that the Chen Clan has already mastered this technology. Moreover, I have already cracked this technology on my side as well. It is just that it temporarily costs too much Money, so we cannot roll it out on a large scale. I guess the Chen Clan must have some Big Shot investing Funds, so they can create such a big stir.”
“…” Chu Ping was speechless.
What did this Professor know? He was just blindly popularizing, yet he sounded so serious, and many people agreed with him.
“It seems the Chen Clan really does have a Big Shot, that Liu Dong. Many people have seen him.”
“I heard the road to the Chen Clan was also donated and built by the Big Shot.”
“…”
What wore Chu Ping down the most was seeing the Chen Family Head’s Comment again in this Video: “Professor Liu is right, everyone believe in science!”
Sigh.
This man talked about believing in science every time he opened his mouth, and every time he left them at a loss for words.
If it were not for their identities, they would really want to argue with him properly.
By this point, everything he wanted to say was blocked, and he could not continue the conversation. But he could basically be sure that all of this was definitely related to that Stone Tablet.
The Chen Family Head knew perfectly well; he just would not admit it.
After chatting a bit more, Chu Ping took his leave and left the Chen Clan with Chen Kai.
“I feel that the Chen Family Head is hiding something,” Chen Kai said after leaving the Chen Clan. “What that Professor Liu said is too far-fetched. The Chen Family Head is deliberately tying himself to it. It is obvious he wants to use this as cover, but most netizens do not have the ability to distinguish and are being Guided.”
Chu Ping smiled. “Do you think Professor Liu is the only one? There is also Professor Wu, Professor Zuo. Who knows what other professors will appear later.”
Chen Kai nodded. As they got into the car, he suddenly asked in confusion, “County Magistrate Chu, do you feel that the air at the Chen Clan today is especially good?”
“It is very fresh.” Chu Ping nodded and said, “Maybe it is because it rained last night.”
“It should not be just because of rain,” Chen Kai said, still puzzled. “It has rained when we came to the Chen Clan before, and it was not like this.”
Hearing this, Chu Ping also felt that the air at the Chen Clan today was indeed very good, so he instructed, “When we get back, have people come and test the air quality at the Chen Clan. Excellent air quality is also a tourism advantage.”
“Alright.” Chen Kai agreed.
In the Courtyard of the Chen Clan, after the two left, Chen Han continued to handle the Thunder Bamboo Spirit Mouse Bone Wine. After sealing the jars and storing them in the Game Warehouse, he went up to his Room and checked the Air Detector.
The AQI value had already become
With the Renovation of the Dust Removal Formation, the air of the Chen Clan had improved again and was about to reach the level of a Natural Oxygen Bar.
He still did not know to what Degree this Dust Removal Formation could ultimately improve the air quality of the Chen Clan.
As he was thinking about this, he suddenly looked in surprise at the message on his Mobile Phone. One hundred million in Funds had suddenly been transferred into his Account, and the Remark Information showed it was a donation from a company called Weikai Group.
He picked up his Mobile Phone in surprise and checked. This Weikai Group was one of the domestic top 100 enterprises, and he roughly guessed what this money was about.
Sure enough, at the next moment, a Game System Prompt appeared.
