No matter how incredible it is, Anping Mansion is indeed getting better and better. Mu Qianyu is very pleased to see this phenomenon. Her efforts have not been in vain after all.
After getting everything on track, she became more relaxed. Two masters and the general judge Lu Yijiang mediated and handled public cases, and they rarely made trouble in court.
All government affairs were under the jurisdiction of Wei Zhong, and officials at all levels below performed their respective duties.
Nowadays, even if these officials had stains in the past, they are now fair and honest. After all, they do not think that their little tricks can be hidden from the terrifying Lord Futai.
And this is their last chance. If they don't seize it, their future and life will be lost.
Mu Qianyu has a lazy temperament, and will not interfere with things after assigning them. Now that the conflicts inside and outside the Anping Mansion have been resolved, she can calm down and make progress with Nannan.
What she focuses most on is pharmacology and alchemy, because she was a half-experienced Chinese medicine practitioner before, so she is very interested in this and is not slow in learning.
Qi Ling sighed while teaching him that he was born at the right time to find such an outstanding successor for his original owner.
Nannan paid more attention to her cultivation. The little baby actually went to retreat to practice. Xiaoruo was worried and kept guarding the Dharma in the next room, fearing that the spiritual energy would go awry.
After the two usually noisy people quieted down, the entire backyard of the government office fell silent.
This situation made Di Yin, who always liked peace and dislike hearing noises, feel deeply uncomfortable. He didn't know when he started to get used to living in this world.
Time flies very fast when we are leisurely and comfortable. In the blink of an eye, two months have passed. Time has quietly passed from spring to summer, and the weather has begun to get hotter.
Mu Qianyu used the power of the wood element to make the small trees around the yard grow into large trees with lush branches and leaves to enjoy the shade. He also built a basement to store ice cubes in the house, which was fully prepared for the summer heat.
When Xiang Ziyou came, he found Mr. Futai squatting on the ground in cool gauze clothes and eating watermelon. Also doing this was his little girl.
He had long been accustomed to these etiquette issues, so he stepped forward and bowed: "See you, Your Excellency."
"There are still five days until the next time I come to pick up the elixir. Is there anything wrong?" Mu Qianyu raised his eyelids and asked.
She is now a completely hands-off manager, not participating in all operations and decision-making, and is only responsible for delivering the No. 1 series of elixirs and counting money.
"Sir, the newly built Jiuzhou Auction House has been doing very well this month. Both the monks from this state and the monks from outside trust us," Xiang Ziyou said.
"What else?"
"Also, more and more merchants and people are coming to Anping Prefecture. This year's tax revenue will definitely be very considerable." Xiang Ziyou said again.
"I still want to know more about your own affairs. Miss Yunzhai still doesn't agree to let you redeem yourself?" Mu Qianyu handed over a piece of watermelon.
Xiang Ziyou took it but didn't eat it because it affected his appearance. Instead, he said seriously: "Sir, don't worry about me anymore. There is something that may be detrimental to us this time."
"I knew you must have something to do with me, please tell me." Mu Qianyu, the deputy officer, had an insightful expression.
Xiang Ziyou nodded: "The shops in Tong County have almost been emptied out in the past few months. Governor Li has been enjoying the dividends there all year round. Now that you have cut off his financial path, he has been thinking of ways."
"Have you thought of any solution?" Mu Qianyu raised his eyebrows slightly: "I am really looking forward to his actions."
"Governor Li and Cai Dayan have been contacting the Changsheng Chamber of Commerce through their connections, hoping to invite the Changsheng Chamber of Commerce to settle in Tong County. Given the Changsheng Chamber of Commerce's appeal, which is the number one in the mainland, it will definitely put pressure on us."
"Changsheng Chamber of Commerce?" Mu Qianyu raised his head and looked at him without blinking, as if to confirm whether he heard correctly.
Xiang Ziyou nodded.
Mu Qianyu laughed and said, "Keep talking."
"According to my information, the people from the Changsheng Chamber of Commerce promised Governor Li to come here for a visit. With the strength of the Changsheng Chamber of Commerce, the matter of agreeing to meet is almost done." Xiang Ziyou said with a worried look.
"Healthy competition is still necessary. We can't just do the world's business as a family." Mu Qianyu didn't take this seriously at all.
"That said, it's just that the Changsheng Chamber of Commerce has sufficient resources. They will drive the development of the surrounding areas, which is equivalent to directly conflicting with us." Xiang Ziyou said again.
Mu Qianyu stretched out his hand and scratched his eyebrows and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. Everyone can only look at their own abilities."
With Di Yin at her side, she could launch another beast wave, but she owed favor to the owner of the Changsheng Chamber of Commerce, so she really couldn't do this.
When she was in the Great Zhou Dynasty, she was looking for a map of the Immortal Mansion. It was Luo Wuxian who gave her two pieces so that she could put together the map and find a way to survive in the Immortal Mansion.
Later, when she joined the Changsheng Chamber of Commerce, Luo Wuxian also took good care of her. She had not repaid her affection, so she could not take action against his chamber of commerce.
Xiang Ziyou was also quite sad when he saw this. He thought that his master could do something unexpected, but he didn't expect that there was nothing he could do.
Once the Changsheng Chamber of Commerce fails to take advantage of the situation and takes root in Tong County, Anping Prefecture will be severely impacted.
After sending Xiang Ziyou away, Mu Qianyu couldn't help but picture the man in white. His almost transparent and flawless skin was not stained by any smoke and smoke, and he looked like a true immortal.
"Sir." Mr. Qian ran in furiously, interrupting her thoughts.
Mu Qianyu saw the old man running so fast and said quickly: "Qian, please slow down. If you have something to do, don't rush at this moment."
"It's Qian who lost his temper. It's just that the governor sent someone to deliver the official letter, and he wanted to give it to you earlier." Master Qian said and handed over a jade slip.
Mu Qianyu flicked her fingers, and the jade slip threw a piece of text into the air. It turned out to be an invitation, inviting her to a banquet. The title was Mrs. Li's birthday.
"Eating?" Mu Qianyu raised his eyebrows slightly: "Does this old guy have such good intentions?"
"Sir, this kind of banquet is normal. It was the same in previous years. Just don't let them catch you when you go." Master Qian said from the side.
"I'm really too lazy to deal with it, why don't I just go?" Mu Qianyu lay lazily on her chair. The thought of a table full of wine and rice bags making her feel bored.
Master Qian shook his head: "Unless you have a very good reason, although this is not a mistake, it will leave other officials with the impression that you are not gregarious."
"Okay, let's bring something for a meal." Mu Qianyu had already begun to calculate the cost.
Of course, besides the cost, she was also wondering whether Governor Li would use the banquet to cause trouble and what tricks he would use to do so.
