If the business woman does not help the poor, the villain's dream of prosperity will be shatter

Not long after Qin Shu returned to Yanzhou, the governor of Jizhou sent someone to inform Qin Shu that the governor's mansion had been renovated and she could choose an auspicious day to move in.

The repair time, which was originally expected to take several months, was shortened to just one and a half months.

This process is amazingly fast!

Qin Shu originally planned to move immediately.

Meng Qi, the governor of Yanzhou, said a few polite words at the time, "Qin Jiezhen has only been in Yanzhou for a few days and is leaving. It is obvious that I have not entertained him well enough."

"If the town doesn't mind, you may stay in Yanzhou for a while..."

Qin Shu continued, "Thank you for your kindness, Lord Meng. I also feel that the smell of tung oil may not have dissipated from the newly renovated house."

"Since Lord Meng has invited us to stay so warmly, we should stay here for a while longer."

Meng Qi's calmness and composure acquired after decades in officialdom were almost shattered.

Seeing his face trembling, Qin Shu said, "However, this town has already decided that the newly recruited soldiers in September will gather at the Jiedufu."

"Your Excellency is busy with official duties. How can I bother you all the time?"

Meng Qi breathed a sigh of relief, but he dared not persuade him to stay. "Since that's the case, I will hold a banquet to see him off."

Qin Shu waved her hand, "No need, I can't wait to see my own governor's mansion, so I won't bother you, Lord Meng."

Finally, Qin Shu led her people to leave Yanzhou and return to Jizhou.

Not only the Governor of Yanzhou, but also the Governor of Longzhou and the governors of several other prefectures breathed a sigh of relief.

Today, the Jiedu Mansion has a brand new look.

Above the tall and majestic city gates, arrow towers and battlements were soldiers holding long spears.

Walk through the city wall, pass through the gate, and go along the wide and flat main street.

On both sides of the street are houses where officials and soldiers live.

At the end of the main street is the Jiedufu.

The deaf and dumb old man disappeared, and was replaced by the newly recruited soldiers from the palace by Qin Shu.

Zhu Zhi, wearing armor and holding a halberd, stood in front of the mansion gate in a majestic manner. When he saw Qin Shu's carriage approaching, he stabbed the halberd hard and straightened his back.

The gate of the Jiedu Mansion was wide open, and Qin Shu's carriage drove straight in.

In front of the Council Hall, the officials of the Jiedufu were already waiting there. When they saw the Jiedushi's carriage arrive, they immediately bowed and saluted, "Your subordinate respectfully welcomes the Jiedushi."

Qin Shu took Qingsang's hand and got off the carriage, saying, "Thank you for your hard work. It's getting late today, so please go back to your homes first. I will sit in the court tomorrow to discuss government affairs. I will need your guidance in the future."

The officials of various prefectures said "I dare not" one after another, knowing that Qin Shu had been exhausted from the journey and needed to wash, change clothes and rest.

Then they retreated one by one.

Qin Shu returned to the main courtyard and saw that the house had been renovated.

There is a small garden in the front yard.

There are rockery, fish ponds, exotic flowers and plants, pavilions and towers.

Just by looking at this small garden, you can tell that the government of Linbei Road really put a lot of effort into this renovation.

He is really rich!

They were probably afraid that she would find fault again and then go to their house to cause trouble for them, so the other party really spent a lot of money on the renovation of the Jiedu Mansion this time.

They were also very considerate and built a small Buddhist temple in the main courtyard.

There are lay Buddhists in the Buddhist temple who burn incense and chant sutras.

After Qin Shu washed and changed her clothes, she first took out the spirit tablets of her parents and placed them in the Buddhist temple.

After burning incense and kowtowing, Qin Shu returned to the main room and had dinner with Fu Ying.

The main house in the main courtyard is Qin Shu's courtyard.

Fu Ying took Dongping and the others and moved into the east wing to the east of the main courtyard.

On the second day, Mo Laowu brought the silver bills and the 100,000 taels of silver that Qin Shu had ordered in advance two months ago back to the Jiedu Mansion in an ox cart.

On the third day, there was a banquet held to celebrate Qin Shu's inauguration, which had been delayed for more than two months.

Officials from Linbei Road also rushed to the Jiedufu.

Almost all the officials from eight prefectures and sixty-seven counties were present in the council hall.

As the highest official, the Jiedushi must be the last to arrive.

At this time, Qin Shu's seat was still vacant.

Zhang Qing, the governor of Jizhou, who was sitting in the first seat on the lower left, and Liu Meng, who was sitting in the first seat on the lower right, looked at each other and turned their gaze to the third table on the lower right: that was the seat of Ma Tong, the governor of Yunzhou.

It was also the provincial capital where the illegal salt was exported through the canyon.

Counting the days, the batch of smuggled salt will be out of the valley in the next two days after the landslide in the canyon is cleared.

Liu Meng subconsciously looked back at the sixth seat in the fourth row behind him.

That position was also vacant.

That is the position of Zhuo Ling, the magistrate of Qingyang County.

Liu Meng had a bad feeling in his heart.

However, before he could think any more, Qin Shu had already walked out from the back hall with her people.

Zhang Ying, Liu Meng and all the officials in the hall stood up and bowed their heads in greeting. "Your subordinates are here to see the governor."

Qin Shu walked to the first seat and sat down, saying, "Please take a seat, my lords."

She smiled and said, "This is the first time I have formally met with you gentlemen since I came to Linbei Road. Qin Shu, following the order of His Majesty, has promoted the planting of new grains, opened up wasteland and cultivated land to prepare for food and fodder in Linbei Road."

"For matters concerning the prefectures, towns and counties of Linbei Road, I still have to rely on you gentlemen. Qin Shu knows that I am not very talented and knowledgeable, so I hope you gentlemen can give me some advice."

The words were so polite and the attitude was so humble.

Except for Zhang Ying and Liu Meng, everyone else couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Just don't do any of the new official's tricks when he takes office.

The situations in each province, prefecture, township and county are complex and the relationships are complicated.

Everyone's interests are intertwined. Once the rectification of the officialdom begins, I am afraid that the mud will be exposed along with the radish.

The Linbei Road was turned into a mess.

After Qin Shu finished speaking, everyone began to whisper to each other.

Qin Shu didn't care and clapped her hands gently.

Then everyone saw four strong men carrying a box coming in.

In the huge council hall, dozens of boxes were laid out in a row, creating a truly spectacular scene.

Soon, in addition to the banquets on both sides, the open space in the middle was filled with boxes.

Qin Shu waved at Mo Laowu.

Mo Laowu led his men forward and opened the boxes one by one.

There were dozens of boxes filled with white silver cakes!

For a moment, the entire council hall was buzzing.

Qin Shu and the others in the hall had talked enough and gradually quieted down. When they turned their eyes to her, she smiled and said, "I think everyone knows that Qin Shu comes from a merchant family."

"As a businessman, you must know how to make money."

Zhang Ying and Liu Meng had no idea what Qin Shu was up to.

The two glanced at each other quietly, then quickly looked away.

Qin Shu continued, "We know that everyone has to support their families. The salary from the court alone is not enough to support your entire family."

There was another buzz from below: What does that mean?

Is it possible that the first thing this Jiedushi did after taking office was to distribute money to everyone?

And such good things?

However, before they could smile, Qin Shu raised her hand and waved, and Mo Laowu led his men forward, closed the silver box, and then carried it away.

This back and forth confused everyone.

For a moment, there was a lot of discussion in the hall. Some were laughing, some were questioning, and some took the opportunity to curse.

Qin Shu raised her hand and pressed it down, and the hall immediately quieted down.

She smiled slightly and said, "Qin Shu just wants everyone to know that I am not short of money and I will not stretch my spoon into everyone's pot to compete for food."

Zhang Qing's eyes narrowed: So is this a showdown?

Qin Shu continued, "This town has something to say, and it has always been said in advance: the way taxes were collected in Linbei Road in the past will continue to be done according to the old rules in the future."

"I protect my shortcomings and my food. This town will not control your financial resources. But if anyone dares to put a spoon into the pot of this town without the permission of this town."

Her eyes turned cold, "Even if I have to chase him to the ends of the earth, I will bite off a piece of flesh from him."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes were almost simultaneously focused on Cheng Mao, who was sitting at the very bottom.

Therefore, the Jiedushi's words should not be nonsense.

After all, there are existing examples here.
