Chapter 341 Maybe this is Jian Shiyi’s opportunity

"Who missed him?"

Jian Shiming retorted and quickly left the military camp, prompting Gu Ye to chase after him.

"Brother Jian, don't wait for me."

"It's not like you don't know the way."

Jian Shiming snorted lightly, but still slowed down his pace. Seeing how arrogant he was, Tao Xi could no longer hold back his laughter.

This man is really cute.

Winter is coming soon, and the Xiwang chain stores in Taoxi are constantly expanding and busy.

With the Gu family being such good business people, Xiwang chain stores soon opened all over the city quietly.

Nowadays, Tao Xi's biggest headache is the problem of raw materials. There are not enough workers, so she asked the county magistrate to build several factories.

These factories are not under the name of Xiwang Chain, but belong to the Yun County industry. After all, Yun County is now the fiefdom of Tao Xi, so the money is not much different from what she earns.

However, Taoxi planned to put the profits from these factories into the school. The citrus was harvested, and the endless Taoxi was made into cans.

She also had a lot of canned fruits of various types in her space, and she asked workers to do it outside. Now Yun County has another specialty product.

Gu Ye was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear again. He was so happy that he brought Liuxu to their island to eat and drink for several days.

Tao Xi:……

I thank you!

Just as Tao Xi and the others were preparing to face the cold winter, several carriages drove towards Yun County.

An old man on the carriage was closing his eyes and concentrating. The young man beside him whispered:

"Mr. Qi, do you really want to go back to Yun County and live there for a long time? This remote and poor place in Yun County has just experienced a disaster and is still someone else's fiefdom. It is not suitable for long-term living."

"No matter how poor I am, this is still my hometown."

Qi Lao opened his eyes quietly, and there was determination in those cloudy eyes, and the young man couldn't help but feel worried.

"But there is no better doctor in this place. What if your body..."

"I am a doctor myself!"

Mr. Qi glanced at the young man indifferently and closed his eyes, obviously refusing to talk.

The young man was helpless and could only suppress the depression in his heart, thinking about trying to persuade him later. It would be okay to come back and stay for a while.

It is not a good place to stay in this remote place.

The carriage came to Yun County with a clatter, and the horseman outside reminded in a low voice, "Master, we have arrived at Yun County."

"Let me see."

Mr. Qi suddenly opened his eyes and hurriedly opened the curtain of the carriage. He thought that what he saw was a dilapidated city gate, but what he saw was a towering city wall.

The city wall was very high, even comparable to the palace wall, and there were soldiers stationed on the wall. Maybe it was winter, and the management was stricter during this time.

Mr. Qi's eyes were full of shock, and the young man on one side opened his mouth blankly, "Old Qi, this...is this Yun County?"

"Um."

Mr. Qi responded coldly, hiding the shock in his eyes, but kept looking around Yunxian with his cloudy eyes.

Is this... the Yun County under the management of that county chief?

It was so different from before. If it weren't for the words on the city gate that were so conspicuous, they would have thought they were in the wrong place.

After entering the city, the bustling streets made Mr. Qi and his group so shocked that their eyes almost popped out of their heads.

Of course, Kyoto is also so prosperous. What surprised them was that this was a city that had just suffered a disaster. Even though a year had passed, it was still extremely shocking to return to this state.

"That's it. There's nothing better than Kyoto."

A pretty little girl in the last carriage pouted and said words of disgust, but her eyes curiously fell on the fresh food on the shops.

It’s not that I haven’t eaten it before, they are also available in these prefectural cities, but the variety doesn’t seem to be as many as here.

"Girl, you are hungry, there is still food here."

Next to the little girl, the girl dressed as a maid found a lot of dry food from the carriage, which made Qi Fu extremely disgusted.

"No, let's wait until we get there."

If grandpa hadn't insisted on bringing her back, she wouldn't have wanted to come to such a ghost place.

In the restaurant, Tao Xixi and Jian Shiming were looking at their account books. When they looked up, they saw a carriage passing by below.

This carriage seemed to be from out of town, and there were quite a few people there. Tao Xi couldn't help but glance at it, but he didn't take it to heart. Instead, he said to Qing Zhi:

"You ask the people in the factory to hurry up and make all the cotton into cotton-padded clothes and quilts."

She can also feel a significant drop in temperature in the past two days, which means this winter may be even colder than last year.

"Okay, Master."

Qing Zhi wrote down everything Tao Xi said in a small notebook, and after explaining everything, Tao Xi and Jian Shiming slowly went downstairs, and happened to see a little girl getting off the carriage that just passed by.

The girl muttered, "I don't know when my grandfather will be able to return to Kyoto. How can this small place compare to Kyoto?"

While talking, she took the maid to the food street opposite, which Tao Xi recently asked Madam Xu to re-create.

There are many food stalls inside, all run by people from Xiwangdao. People come and go inside every day, so it is very lively.

Tao Xi looked at the backs of those people, shook his head and laughed.

"This girl probably came back with an official who retired and returned home."

Jian Shiming's eyes were dark, hoping that the family would stay in peace and not provoke his wife.

"Probably yes, we'll just ask the county magistrate later."

Tao Xi nodded slightly. After all, he was a hero of Dafeng. They also wanted to express condolences during the New Year and other festivals.

The two of them just regarded it as a minor incident and didn't take it seriously until one day the county magistrate came to Xiwang Island.

"County Master, that... Mr. Qi wants to see you."

The county magistrate said his intention awkwardly, which made Tao Xi stunned. She looked at Jian Shiming on one side.

Jian Shiming told Tao Xi the news he had learned in the past two days, "Mr. Qi is an old imperial doctor who recently retired and returned to his hometown in Yun County."

Of course, what Jian Shiming didn't say was that before he returned home, he was the head of the hospital, that is, the president.

Tao Xi was confused again, "Why does Mr. Qi suddenly want to see me?"

She doesn't seem to have any connection with Mr. Qi.

The county magistrate shook his head at Tao Xi, "I don't know, but it should be a good thing."

After all, the county magistrate has seen that Mr. Qi is quite satisfied with Yun County in the past two days. Since he wants to meet the county lord, it must be because Yun County belongs to the county lord.

"Okay, then I'll go with you to meet him."

Tao Xi asked Qing Zhi to prepare a gift. He wanted to bring Jian Shiming with him, but Jian Shiming refused.

"Although Mr. Qi has returned to his hometown, he is an important member of Dafeng. It would be better for me not to show up for the time being."

He has to take the scientific examination again after the Chinese New Year, so it is not appropriate to get too close to him.

"That's fine."

Tao Xi thought that the other party was once an imperial doctor, so he simply brought Jian Shiyi, who was concocting medicinal materials in the hospital.

In fact, Jian Shiyi was still reluctant, "Sister-in-law, where are we going?"

"Well, I'm going to meet someone with my sister-in-law."

Tao Xi got on the carriage with a smile. Maybe this was an opportunity for Jian Shiyi.
