"I'm not that curious." Mu Qianyu yawned and said, "You guys chat, I'll squint for a while."
Di Yin then stopped talking, and it seemed that he was not ready to answer Xiao Ruo.
Mu Qianyu quietly opened his eyes and took a look. Di Yin began to close his eyes to rest, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this child has thick lines.
Of course she was curious about how he turned into a human, but she was always a little worried about the relationship between Di Yin and Beichen Ye. If one day Di Yin really became an enemy of mankind again, it would be difficult for her to make a choice. She only didn't know what he might do.
Only the weaknesses that exist can protect him to the greatest extent.
Anping Mansion is really big. Even though the government officials are all monks and can run very fast, it was still afternoon when we arrived at the government office.
Mu Qianyu originally thought that when he got off the sedan, he would see a solemn government office, the kind that would make people feel awe at the sight of it, but what he didn't see was a building with half of the door collapsed.
, the plaque with the words 'Anping Mansion' tilted down along with the building.
There is no so-called grievance drum at the door, not even the stone lions found in large households. Most of the bluestone slabs on the steps are broken, exposing the blue bricks and earth below.
If it weren't for the two government officials standing under the crooked door, Mu Qianyu wouldn't have believed that this was the government office of Anping Prefecture, an area three times the size of other government offices!
Wei Zhong also came down, and it was the first time he saw Mu Qianyu's surprised expression.
"Wei Tongzhi, please explain, what's going on?" Mu Qianyu tried his best to have a good tone.
"Master Futai must know that our Anping Mansion is often attacked by beast tides. Every time the beast tide breaks the city wall and rushes in, many buildings in the city will be destroyed."
"At first we would repair the government offices and city walls after the beast tide ended, but they would be destroyed again in less than a year, so we simply stopped repairing them later." Wei Tongzhi answered, the darkness in his eyes not fading even a little bit.
Mu Qianyu received another message from this passage, that is, not only did there not be a decent government office here, there was not even a city wall near the Mysterious Beast Forest.
"It seems that in order to manage the local area, the first step is to deal with the beast tide." Mu Qianyu said as he walked into the government office.
Wei Zhong and Lu Yijiang once doubted their ears. This girl really dared to think.
Although the mysterious beasts that came from the tide of mysterious beasts were not very strong, it was completely possible to block them with the military strength of the Daxuan Dynasty. The tide of beasts was indeed contained when they were first tried.
However, the beast tide was coming at an uncertain time, and the army needed to be stationed here all year round. The huge military expenditures and manpower consumed were huge, and the gains outweighed the losses, so the troops were withdrawn and Anping Prefecture was completely abandoned.
And without the support of the imperial court, it is simply impossible to resist the beast tide with the power of one government.
The two of them looked at each other with disdain. The young man was very energetic, but when he really started to do things, he didn't always start before the end or end at the end.
The inside is even more dilapidated, and you can see the footprints of many giant beasts on the ground. The same goes for the house in the backyard. Everything in the main courtyard is dilapidated, except for a small yard in the corner.
"Master Futai, you came in a hurry, and we didn't have time to repair it." Wei Zhong made a perfunctory apology at the side.
This is true, but according to common sense, he would then say that he would start cultivating it, but he did not say that.
Mu Qianyu also expected these people to do practical things for her, so she said: "It doesn't matter, I have only a few people, and it's enough to live in a small courtyard temporarily, so we'll start repairing it."
She said to Wei Zhong: "Wei Tongzhi, please take me to the Qiangang Depot to have a look."
If she has money, she will spend it.
"Yes, Mr. Futai invites you to the front yard." Wei Zhong smiled maliciously and said.
Mu Qianyu began to have a bad premonition. When the door of the money bank was opened, her thoughts were confirmed.
The huge Qianggrain depot is cleaner than Wei Zhong's face, full of dust and empty. It looks like it may not have been opened for several years.
"Master Futai, Anping Mansion has been attacked by beasts all the year round. Ten rooms are empty, and we have been unable to collect money and food. Even the imperial court exempted us from taxes."
Wei Zhong sighed repeatedly on his face, but he was proud in his heart. He wanted to see how Master Futai, who had no money and no one, could manage the Anping Mansion.
Mu Qianyu narrowed her eyes slightly. She had heard before that the government was collecting taxes as usual, which forced the people to have no way of living.
It would be reasonable to say that the money and grain collected were used to build the Anping Prefecture to make ends meet, but the government office did not even do any repairs, and it never provided disaster relief, so where did the money go?
It was really darker here than she imagined.
"Oh, that's it." She nodded, with no apparent emotion on her face.
"Since Mr. Futai has arrived, I will hand over the key to the Qiangang Depot to you." Wei Zhong handed over a large brass key with both hands, with a touch of mockery in his eyes.
Mu Qianyu stretched out his hand to take it, smiled at Wei Zhong and said, "Wei Tongzhi has worked very hard in handling all matters in the government for so many years. If there is anything unclear about this government in the future, please feel free to let me know."
"That's natural." Wei Zhong said, cupping his hands and saying, "If Lord Futai has nothing to do, he will resign."
Mu Qianyu nodded: "Inform all the officials in the mansion to come to my mansion tomorrow and I will invite you to a banquet."
"yes."
The two agreed and left, with mocking smiles on their faces when they turned around.
Mu Qianyu weighed the keys in his hand, then looked at the empty money and grain warehouse, and the corners of his mouth slowly raised.
"Go back, Lan'er, please make some more food. Uncle Li and the others haven't had breakfast yet." Mu Qianyu said and walked towards the backyard.
"How dare we trouble Miss Lan'er? We can do it ourselves." Old Man Li said quickly.
"We are all one family, don't see anyone outside."
Nannan followed Mu Qianyu's footsteps and asked, "Mom, do we need to repair this place?"
"Of course, my little princess can't live in such a simple place." Mu Qianyu picked up the girl and said, "Let me know what Xiaobao wants to achieve."
"As long as Xiaobao is with mother, it doesn't matter what happens." Nannan hugged Mu Qianyu's neck and said in a sweet voice.
Mu Qianyu rubbed her little nose with his nose and said with a smile: "How could I have such a cute child? Sometimes it's incredible to think about it."
"Mom is a good mother." Nannan giggled.
Mu Qianyu kissed her on the face and seemed to be telling her but also talking to himself: "Everything will be fine."
She is not optimistic, but with Di Yin and Xiao Ruo as her two trump cards, she is not afraid of being overwhelmed in this place.
But there were still things that could break her guard. It snowed in Anping Mansion that night, and when the snowflakes fell on her face and woke her up from the cold, she realized that the roof was also leaking.
"Your uncle Wei Zhong, if I don't cure you and make you docile, I will take your surname from now on!"
She was dancing around the house most of the night and cursing.
