The clear sky after autumn is not a good weather for the people of Suzaku City. Fortunately, the summer heat has passed, and the cool breeze in the early morning can gradually overcome the heat.
The square in front of Jiuyou Tower was even more lively than the previous days of public executions.
With the high-spirited Suzaku Guards guarding both sides, carriages carrying documents and materials rolled over the stone slabs and drove towards Suzaku Avenue.
Huang Lu from the Pharmacy Chamber of Commerce stood at the door of Jiuyou Tower, watching the convoy leave with a look of reluctance, and said: "City Lord, Jiuyou Tower has accompanied everyone to witness the development of Zhuque City. The Pharmacy Chamber of Commerce is willing to donate this building to the City Lord. Mansion."
The City Lord's Mansion is ready to move in. Today is the day when the staff of the City Lord's Mansion will move out from Jiuyou Tower.
Mu Qing stood in front of the crowd, calmly accepting the enthusiasm and compliments of Huanglu and others.
They may not be able to understand the real changes in Suzaku City, but Bai Emperor's death is enough to make them loyal to the city lord's palace.
After greeting these people, Mu Qing and Wang Yeqing, who was the last to come out of the building, entered the carriage and followed the relocation team at the end.
"What were you talking about with them just now?" In the carriage, Wang Yeqing waved goodbye to the people in Huanglu and said with a chuckle: "You didn't want to deal with those family heads the last thing before."
"Let's talk about food, clothing, housing and transportation." Mu Qing exhaled a breath: "The entire Youyan Prefecture suddenly has nearly a million people. The first ones to find the problem are these big businessmen. Huang Lu and the others have done a good job, at least not Too many refugees will starve to death."
Wang Yeqing sighed softly. The situation of the entire Mugung Dynasty was worse than they expected. They had stopped letting Bai Jiahe transfer food from other places into Youyan State. If Nanhai Daozong had not fulfilled the agreement, the situation in Suzaku City would also have been worse. Corroded by the corruption of the entire dynasty.
But this is still not a long-term solution. Years of exploitation and oppression have resulted in people being displaced and the land barren. When the New Deal is implemented and people open up wasteland to grow food, they will have to go hungry for at least two or three years.
This is the current situation. No matter how powerful they are, they cannot create enough food to satisfy millions of people for several years out of thin air. Even with the full support of Dao Zong, there is a limit.
"The weather in Youyan Prefecture is good. Quechun has already arranged for some refugees to reclaim wasteland. After these few months of hard work, things will improve a lot next year."
The carriage drove up the straight Zhuque Street with the convoy. Many shops had spontaneously gathered on both sides of this street that ran from north to south. The vitality diluted the serious atmosphere in the carriage.
Mu Qing has now become more and more accustomed to the role of a leader. He can not only focus on the livelihood rations of one household, but also calmly decide on people's livelihood plans related to the whole city and even the entire state.
Wang Yeqing chatted with him for a while, suddenly stopped and looked at him, and sighed sincerely: "Sure enough, things are the most tempering thing."
Mu Qing smiled slightly and took out a bottle of elixir, "My aunt specially asked me to bring this to you when I left the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers. She hasn't congratulated you on your breakthrough yet."
Wang Yeqing smiled slightly and was about to speak when he saw Mu Qing taking out another storage jade token. His smile faltered and he looked up at him, "What do you mean?"
Mu Qing said: "What's inside is the purified Xuan Crystal."
Wang Yeqing frowned, "Let's get down to business."
Mu Qing honestly explained the reason.
A few days ago, when he was in the Dairi Sect, Zhe Qianqian mentioned to him that the Wuji Sword Sect had sent elders to invite all forces to participate in the sword trial meeting.
Before yesterday, Mu Qing thought that this was the kind of treatment only those at the Dao Sect level would receive, but he received Ye Yun's letter yesterday.
"Yun'er will wait for them and come back together. The day to leave for Wuji Sword Sect is not far away, and there are many things that I have to take care of next."
"Okay, no wonder you are sitting here chatting with me. I thought you were finally a qualified city lord, but you are trying to treat someone like a bully again?"
"..."
Mu Qing knew how big and messy the stall in front of him was, so his flattering voice became lower and lower.
The carriage continued to drive on Suzaku Avenue.
Outside the south gate, Wei Shenglu received her identity token and quickly chased after her two companions.
"Tsk tsk.
There are too many people here, right? "
Ying Qing walked on the street, looking left and right, which was strange.
Wei Shenglu followed behind Ying Qing, and was about to remind him of the precautions along the way. Ying Qing in front of him was already striding forward. Even Tantai Yangbing, who was calm all the way, seemed to be attracted and quickly followed. superior.
"Hey, let's go directly to the city lord's mansion. Where are you going?"
When Wei Shenglu came closer, he heard a sudden tearing sound: "Come and take a look. The latest batch of magic weapons from the Dainichi Sect have been released. There are treasure shovels that let you dig stones like dirt, and there are also some that are placed in the house in winter. A treasure furnace that can heat up inside..."
In front of the crowd, a burly young man was roaring with his unique voice. Behind him was an extremely spacious and unique store.
Wei Shenglu glanced around and found that Ying Qing and Tantai Yangbing had entered the store, and quickly came to the two of them, "What are you doing..."
Wei Shenglu took two steps back to avoid Ying Qing, who suddenly turned around.
"Junior sister." Ying Qing held an ugly big black pot in both hands and said in surprise, "This is a magical treasure. The bottom of the pot can adjust the temperature. We can try it for picnics during our travels."
Tantai Yangbing waved the fire stick in his hand, "This stick can get bigger and smaller. I don't know what it can do, but it's quite interesting."
Wei Shenglu looked at the two senior brothers who were preparing to participate in the sword trial competition. At this time, they were just having fun. She felt speechless. When she was about to get down to business, she glanced down and was stunned: "Ten taels of silver. ? "
"It's actually ten taels of silver?"
The three young heroes from Sanxian Island were stunned when they looked at the price tag in front of them.
Suddenly, a weak voice from the side asked: "Do you think it's expensive, fellow Taoist? If you think it's expensive, how about five taels of silver?"
Wei Shenglu turned his eyes slightly and saw a shy young man changing the price tag in front of him. Ten taels of silver were replaced by five taels.
Ying Qing looked at this scene and suddenly grabbed the young man and asked, "Does everything in the store come from the Great Sun Sect?"
Wu Ling had just joined the Great Sun Sect not long ago, when the sect's sense of honor was at its strongest. He was a little timid due to the temperament of several people. Hearing this, he said seriously: "Of course they are, the sect leader personally explained this matter." of."
Ying Qing made eye contact with his companions, his eyes shone slightly, he picked up the big black pot in his hand and asked, "How many things of this quality do we want?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Ling looked at Ying Qing as if he were a fool, quickly shook his head and said, "Brothers, we already expected that we wouldn't be able to sell it, so you don't have to help us like this."
Ying Qing grinned: "For no reason, why should I help you?"
"……truth?"
"truth!"
Wu Ling cheered and quickly went to find his senior brothers.
Wei Shenghua looked at Ying Qing who still hadn't put down the big black pot in his hand, frowned and said, "Although these spiritual treasures are extremely cheap, they are of little use."
Ying Qing chuckled: "But what's the difference between picking something up?"
When they were in the Ye Kingdom, they had learned a lot of worldly information. In their eyes, buying a magic weapon of the spiritual weapon level with a few taels of silver was really no different from picking it up.
Seeing that Wei Shenghua was a little angry, Ying Qing put away his smile and said seriously: "The Great Sun Sect has only been established for only half a year. I guess these magic weapons were refined by the disciples of the Great Sun Sect, which is why they look so strange."
"Although these spiritual patterns carved inside are simple, they fit together perfectly. It would be good to take this design idea back to the elders of the Refining Pavilion to gain knowledge."
Hearing this, Wei Shenghua quickly ran to the side and picked up a jade hairpin, looking at it more seriously.
By the time Wu Ling appeared again, the three brothers and sisters had already gained a lot.
"Eh? Sister Yunli?"
Wei Shenghua looked at the familiar woman appearing behind Wu Ling, blushed, and quickly took off a few hairpins from her head. At the end, she explained: "I only wear these hairpins for fun."
Zhe Yunli looked at the jade hairpin in Weishenghua's hand, took off the jade hairpin with a similar shape on her own head and inserted it into Weishenghua's head, and said with a smile: "This is the true master of the Baihua hairpin that Ling'er Sect master refined on a whim. .
"
"These things you have are all refined by the disciples. How much money they can sell for in the end determines whether they can keep them and stay in the Great Sun Sect. Please don't destroy them."
The three of them put down the things in their hands angrily.
Zhe Yunli took Wei Shenglu's hand and invited, "Since you are interested in these things, you might as well come directly to the Da Ri Sect to see with your own eyes. Master Ling'er is very generous to his guests."
Wei Shenglu wanted to go, "But we have to go to the City Lord's Mansion to see Brother Mu Qing. I'm afraid Aunt Hua and the elders of the Jian Sect have already arrived."
Zhe Yunli smiled and said, "Since we didn't go all the way from the beginning, there's no need to rush there right away. Sister Qianqian is in the Great Sun Sect. She and Mu Qing have already made an appointment. We can all go together then."
Hearing what Zhe Yunli said, the three people who were already curious about everything no longer hesitated and followed Zhe Yunli to the Great Sun Sect.
In the city lord's palace, Mu Qing saw Ye Yun who had returned. Seeing that there was only Wei Shenghua beside Ye Yun, he asked curiously: "Where are the others?"
Wei Shenghua said: "When the sword sect visits a certain force, he will give priority to the sword cultivator. He felt a strong sword intention on the way and went in that direction."
Mu Qing knew that he was going to visit Ye Qingyu, and asked about the whereabouts of Ying Qing and the others.
Wei Shenghua raised her eyebrows when she heard this and said in a low voice: "The three of them haven't stopped all the way. They said they wanted to wander around the city by themselves, but they didn't know where they went."
Just as he was talking, Wu Ling found Mu Qing and said, "Brother Mu Qing, there were three fools just now, no, there were three guests from Sanxian Island who went to the Great Sun Sect with Sister Yunli. Sister Yunli asked me to tell them. .”
Wei Shenghua snorted coldly: "Master said he wanted the three of them to go out and gain some knowledge, but all they did was wander around."
Mu Qing and Ye Yun looked at each other, knowing that Wei Shenglan would let Wei Shenghua accompany the three of them instead of other more powerful elders. It was probably the right thing to hope that Wei Shenghua could regain her former lively temperament, so she suggested: "Wan Flower Valley is not far from the Great Sun Sect, and my aunt has some doubts about alchemy. I wonder if Aunt Hua can give me some advice?"
Wei Shenghua raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at him, "Then let's go."
Mu Qing smiled slightly, stood up and said, "Sister Qingyu's hermitage is also nearby, let's go there together."
