Chanyi said to the government officials: "Madam is looking for you, please go in!"

The government officials walked into the study.

"Meet Madam."

"Yesterday, Governor Leng told you. I don't know if you heard it, but it's okay. I'll say it again. From today on, Tongyang City is my fiefdom and will be under my jurisdiction from now on. You belong here.

Old man, you should be very familiar with this place. I just came here and there are many things I don’t understand, so just remind me. Also, I checked the account book last night and found that you haven’t received your monthly payment for three months.”

The government officials who had lowered their heads suddenly raised their heads.

They did not expect that Mu Siyu would take the initiative to mention Yue Yin.

They had met several prefects before. When they first took office, they never asked about Yueyin's affairs. Even if a government official came to him, he would use the excuse that he had just arrived and the previous accounts were not under his control.

The brothers worked in vain for two or three months. One time, they were even more ruthless. They didn't receive any monthly payment for half a year. It wasn't until the next prefect took office that they realized that they had been cheated again.

"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?" Mu Siyu said while looking through the account book, "Yes, it's three months. Is there any other secret?"

"No." Capt. Li said, "Just three months."

He was originally preparing to resign when he heard the news about Yueyin. He was already prepared to make a futile effort, but he didn't expect that there would be surprises waiting for him.

"I thought about it, and there's something wrong with you Yue Yin." Mu Siyu shook her head.

The newly warm hearts of the government officials cooled down again.

They couldn't help but become sarcastic.

I was actually looking forward to it just now.

These officials are all the same, even if it is a woman this time, they still have the same virtues.

No, women may be more cruel than men. After all, women like to care about things more than men.

"This is what I think. Your current monthly silver is too little, and it should be increased five times." Mu Siyu said, "After all, your workload is quite heavy. I took a look and found that your current monthly silver is not worthy of you."

Good job."

Everyone looked at her in shock.

"What did I say wrong again?" Mu Siyu was confused.

The reason why she promoted Yueyin was that she really felt that the money these government servants received was too little, and it was not as high as the income of a concierge in their Lu family. After all, government servants were a high-risk profession and should not receive such a salary.

"Madam, are you really willing to give us five times the moon silver?" Li Captor asked tremblingly.

"Of course." Mu Siyu said, "But before that, I want to ask you what you mean. I know that many of you have not wanted to do it for a long time. If Yue Yin hadn't made it, you wouldn't have waited until now.

I just came here, if you have any ideas, you can tell me now and I will make arrangements for you. Of course, the monthly silver owed before will be paid five times, and you will not be short of a penny."

"We are not leaving, we are not going anywhere, we will do whatever the lady asks us to do," Capt. Li said.

"We're not leaving either."

The government officials quickly expressed their loyalty.

Are you kidding? Five times the monthly silver! Even if they go out to look for work, they can't have so much money. After all, most of them are rough people and don't know a few Chinese characters. Even if they work, they can't.

They can only work as coolies. Compared with coolies, working in the yamen is more prestigious, and even the wealthy businessmen dare not provoke them.

Mu Siyu got their response and asked them to go to the accountant to withdraw their monthly silver.

There are only a dozen yamen servants left in the government office, and there are only a few handyman servants left. But it doesn't matter, she has brought so many people, it is enough.

Mu Siyu was so busy that she looked at all the big and small things and suddenly felt that this was not what she was good at. She was only good at business, and things like taxes should be left to specialized people to take care of.

"Master Qi, you are drinking tea here."

Mu Siyu walked into Qi Xiao's courtyard and saw Qi Xiao sitting in front of the stone table drinking tea while basking in the sun. With the presence of the old god, those who didn't know thought he was an old man enjoying the pastoral life.

"Tongyang City is not my fiefdom. If I don't drink tea here, do I have to help Madam manage Tongyang City?"

"Then I don't need to trouble you. After all, you have to take up the post after you have recovered your health. Your things there are more troublesome than mine." Mu Siyu said, "But I am short of people, so you can lend me a few people.

.”

Qi Xiao was generous and directly assigned his people to her.

There were many capable people around him. Along the way, Mu Siyu spotted several of them and took those people away.

A few days later, Qi Xiao saw that his people had not returned yet, so he sent someone to inquire. Only then did he discover that his men were being used as minor officials by Mu Siyu, and they had been sorting out the mess in Tongyang City during this period.

"Sir, if the prime minister comes back and sees the emperor treating his wife like this, I'm afraid he will be angry." The attendant poured a cup of tea and said with a smile.

"Who made Mrs. Lu outstanding?" Qi Xiao said, "If it were me, I would arrange it like this. Mrs. Lu has a kind of magic power that can transform a place. She can create a Hubei City.

Can create a second Hubei City. In fact, even if you look at her running around all day, she actually likes this kind of life. For some women, they like to be pampered by their husbands, but for another special kind of woman

, she wants to realize her own value more."

"Mrs. Lu is the latter type of woman."

"I didn't say it, that's what you said." Qi Xiao said, "Get ready, we have to go to the countryside."

"We have to face more troubles than Mrs. Lu!" the entourage said, "I sent someone to inquire and found that there are only 20,000 troops originally stationed in the plain area ten miles away, and these 20,000 people are left.

After losing control, he turned into a bandit and committed all kinds of evil in the local area, and the nearby villagers were severely harmed."

"According to military regulations." Qi Xiao's eyes flashed with murderous intent, "Kill when you need to kill, and chop when you need to chop. What's there to be embarrassed about?"

Qi Xiao felt that his matter could be easily solved. As long as he used thunderous means to suppress those people, they would be nothing more than a pile of scattered sand and not something to be afraid of. On the contrary, Mu Siyu's side was as big as Tongyang City, except for the troops stationed there.

Outside of Hetunmin, the total population previously reached 350,000, but now there are only 50,000 left. It is even harder to develop a place that even God has given up on.

In the study, Mu Siyu said: "Post a notice saying that as long as you are willing to farm, you will be exempted from taxes for three years."

"Full exemption?" Everyone was shocked, "Madam, the emperor has not exempted Tongyang City from all taxes. Then you won't be the one to pay the taxes."
