Liu Bei's face twitched uncontrollably. Chen Xi would either remain silent, or once he spoke, it was about matters of great significance. Yet, could the wealth of a single county really compare to that of an entire province?
Pushing aside other thoughts, Liu Bei tried to look calm as he faced Chen Xi, "Zichuan, let's hear your strategy. I trust with your wisdom, you would not deceive me. However, Wen He and others are also great talents of this era. How is it that you cannot reconcile with them?"
Chen Xi took a deep breath, discarding all strategies aimed at others, and proceeded to explain the trade tax purely for Liu Bei's understanding.
"We have encountered conflicts in our commercial laws. Lord Xuande, please take a seat. I will inform Lord Xuande of all my thoughts, and you shall then pass judgment," said Chen Xi calmly, as he used his spiritual power to suppress all distractions and looked at Liu Bei with serene eyes.
Liu Bei nodded slightly, "Please proceed, Zichuan."
