Chapter 1191 - 336: Both Sides Finally Meet! A Mini New Year at the Immortal Sect!
Yuchi smiled and said to the few people who were dumbfounded:
"I still have some things to do later, and then a disciple will come over to explain the situation to you. Don’t worry, coming back here is just like coming back to your own home."
The few people were speechless, especially little Ximo, who seemed to have completely frozen.
"Qingzhu." Yuchi glanced at Qingzhu, indicating that Qingzhu should help and let the disciples come out directly.
Qingzhu nodded, then took a deep breath, and shouted into the emptiness of Ascension Gate: "Ladies, come out and welcome the guests!!!!"
Yuchi: "???"
He was baffled, Qingzhu’s approach was a bit too wild, wasn’t it?
Ascension Gate fell silent for a moment, then one by one, disciples came out of the Hexagonal Immortal Tower with curiosity. Each disciple appeared as if they had a close-up shot, with eyes either confused, puzzled, gentle, or captivating.
They filed out in a line.
Xun Xian was so frightened that she fell to the ground, hands propped on the ground, staring at the terrifyingly beautiful girls in front of her. Her young heart suffered a huge blow.
Looking at the Sect Leader Senior Brother that these girls were referring to, four words popped into her mind.
"A golden house... to hide beauties?!"
...
Yuchi returned to Xufu Town. Letting the disciples handle matters at the sect was fine, as so many disciples could surely help Yuan’Er and the others with any questions. As a man, it wasn’t appropriate to linger at the sect at this time. It was a good opportunity to return to Xufu Town, where there were still matters to handle.
Now, Xufu Town was about to celebrate the New Year, and the surrounding area was bustling with excitement. In truth, Xufu Town’s development seemed better than Jiangzhou City. As a newly established town, its planning was much better than an old city like Jiangzhou, with many new buildings that were cleaner and more orderly.
The roads were neat, and the townsfolk were all smiles, entering Xufu Town felt like coming home.
"The development of Xufu Town is still quite good, so this visit has three main things to handle."
"The first thing is naturally to visit Dad and my brother. Since I’ll be spending the New Year at the Ascension Gate, there’s no need to tell them this now. Letting them live peacefully in Xufu Town is already a very comfortable outcome."
"The second thing is to visit the Magistrate and the others, and of course, the second brother living in the county office. I think it’s necessary to give them a heads up, letting them prepare for another construction boom in Xufu Town this year. Given how aggressively this year might start, they need to know in advance, or they won’t be able to cope."
"The third thing is to see if our mine has matured yet, if it’s harvest time. If it is, then post-New Year, we should directly harvest the mine, and remove the thorn of Great Tang Prison from Xufu Town’s side. If we don’t handle it now, it’ll be troublesome later."
These are mainly the three things.
Having thought it through, Yuchi walked towards where the Wei Family was located.
Along the way, many townsfolk recognized Yuchi. Even though Yuchi might not have been seen a few times a year, for someone so pivotal in building Xufu Town to such an extent, the townsfolk remembered him easily.
"Chairman Wei, long time no see!"
"Hello, happy New Year."
"Chairman Wei, all the best wishes!"
"Same to you."
"Chairman Wei, you’re finally back!"
"Haha, nice to see you."
Walking along and greeting the townsfolk, Yuchi was ready to tackle things one by one.
Looking at the current situation, the life in Xufu Town was very good, with orderly buildings, peaceful security, no oligarchs exerting power, and the Chamber of Commerce overseeing things. The townsfolk’s stress was low, and Yuchi saw many babies.
They were all newborns.
Walking down a street, eight out of ten homes had newborns, which spelled out a future for Xufu Town.
"That’s great!"
"Quite excellent, really. To judge how well a town is developing, you just need to look at the birth rate. If households face little pressure, the birthrate should be relatively high. Judging by now, the County Magistrate and others have handled things well, looks like they haven’t lost much hair, hahaha."
Yuchi then bought some tea by the street, prepared to visit the Magistrate.
Back then, the Magistrate was looking everywhere for little sweethearts; who would have thought everything’s going so well now. It’s great, they must have found a lot of experts to plan strategies in the background.
Of course, all of this couldn’t have happened without the support and help from the Chamber of Commerce. Saying more would be redundant if the commerce didn’t fund, no matter how smart the Magistrate is, it’d be useless. Luckily, with commerce’s support, many public buildings in Xufu Town were quickly approved.
Things like firewood, rice, oil, salt, clothing, food, lodging, and travel, all belonged to big families. Now they all had good relations with the commerce, so much so that though commerce is still predominantly in garment making, other industries are also sticking with them, not to mention commerce leads. Sometimes when big families take out money, they don’t feel the pain; rather, they feel moved.
