Text Chapter 1950: Taking a Big Step
Bi Yue was implicated by Tian Yuan after all. Just like Linghu Dou Zhong, the higher-ups refused to give Bi Yue the opportunity to control the military power. Even though Miao Yi came up with such an outrageous framework, the higher-ups still kicked Bi Yue out of Tian Ting. Bi Yue became a commoner. This was the result of Miao Yi's efforts to protect her. Otherwise, she would not know what would happen to her after being taken away.
Having seen Linghu Dou Zhong's fate, Bi Yue was not dissatisfied with it. It was good enough to be able to save her life and not be insulted under such a charge of treason. From then on, she followed Yun Zhi Qiu, and Murong Xinghua was still the female general who listened to Yun Zhi Qiu.
Yan Xiu and Yang Zhaoqing were also punished and kicked out of Tian Ting, but their situations were different from Bi Yue's. Everyone knew that Yang Zhaoqing officially became Miao Yi's housekeeper, and no one knew what Yan Xiu's official identity was.
With more people and horses, there are inevitably more hidden dangers. Even if those miscellaneous people were not pulled from Tian Street, who knows how many of the tens of millions of people are other people's spies? Miao Yi knew that these were inevitable, so he could only take his time and be more cautious. It was unlikely that he would be able to recruit those pure subordinates like he did when he erected a monument in the Ghost City General Town Mansion.
In general, the general trend of the Governor's Mansion has been implemented.
And Xiahou Chengyu treated Miao Yi well. As soon as the new sign of the Governor's Mansion was hung up, Yun Zhiqiu's fourth-rank imperial decree came. This was the treatment of the Marquis's wife. From then on, Yun Zhiqiu had a stable salary from the heaven without doing anything. Xiahou Chengyu also built a separate courtyard for Miao Yi in the Imperial Garden, which meant that Miao Yi had the qualifications to enter and exit the Imperial Garden at any time. A series of treatments, except for not being qualified to be in the court, were basically compared with the treatment of the Marquis.
According to Miao Yi and Yang Qing's long-term plan, after this period of popularity, they should enter a long dormant period again, recuperate and plan for the future.
However, there are too many things in front of them.
The exchange of positions between Tianjie and the Governor's Mansion is still in progress. Some people are satisfied and some are not.
Tianjie also received a notice from Miao Yi, and all places tried to find a shop, and a new grocery store was to be set up.
Xinyi Pavilion had asked several times when Miao Yi was free. Miao Yi must visit him, and it was not appropriate to let Cao Man come in person. There were movements in the black markets in various places, and Cao Man should be attacking the shops of the Ying family in the black market. The shops that he got from Linghu Douzhong and others had to be negotiated with Cao Man to avoid disaster.
Xu Tangran received the order to keep in close contact with the secret manpower list handed over by Linghu Douzhong and others. Linghu Douzhong and others were doomed, and these manpower could not be wasted. As many as possible should be recruited, and the matter of taking over the black market shops was handed over to Xu Tangran to handle, and Xu Tangran was also very busy.
Xu Tangran was in pain and happy. He always had a goal and was very efficient. Even if Miao Yi didn't urge him, he would do his best to complete the tasks assigned to him by Miao Yi at all costs. Otherwise, why would Miao Yi think of him first when he was promoted? It was not just because he could flatter people. It was most appropriate to let Xu Tangran handle the things that were not allowed to be seen in the dark.
Xu Tangran didn't let go of Juxiantang either, so Xu Tangran's energy was basically unable to be focused on the Governor's Mansion. Most of his energy was spent on dealing with external affairs. To him, the governor was just an official position and a title.
The mansions built for those families have been started, and there are also garrisons for tens of millions of troops. The scale of the project is really not small, and a large number of craftsmen are busy working day and night.
Miao Yi completely handed over the affairs of the family mansion to Yun Zhiqiu. He didn't have the leisure to deal with those women, but he was still more concerned about the military garrison, although he handed it over to Deputy Governor Heng Wudao to personally implement it.
On this day, Heng Wudao invited Miao Yi to come and see if he had any opinions. Miao Yi, who was originally going to Xinyi Pavilion, had to come and see. Wen Ze, who was mainly responsible for the Ghost Market and Youquan, was originally going to go to the Ghost Market with Miao Yi, but he also followed along.
Standing on the top of a mountain and looking at the busy construction site, a craftsman leader and Heng Wudao compared the drawings and pointed at the construction site, explaining it to Miao Yi. They had already visited several construction sites in succession.
After listening to the explanation, Miao Yi nodded for a while, and explained to Heng Wudao: "I still say that, this matter is your responsibility. The brothers are uncomfortable living on your head. In addition, the financial resources given by the Heavenly Court are just this much, which should be enough. The Queen Mother has fought for us more than you can think of a way."
Heng Wudao smiled bitterly and nodded, Wen Ze grinned beside him.
As they were talking here, Yang Zhaoqing, who was standing by, received the report from Xingling: "Sir, the headmaster of Yuexing Palace, Jinling, has arrived and wants to see you."
"Didn't she never associate with us? Why is she here?" Miao Yi frowned and muttered, tilting his head and said, "Let someone bring her here."
"Yes!" Yang Zhaoqing agreed and conveyed the message.
Not long after, in the distance, a general led three women to the sky. The beauty in white clothes, as white as snow, dignified and picturesque, and quite cold was the headmaster of Yuexing Palace, Jinling. Miao Yi had never seen the palace master Lihua, but he had seen this headmaster before.
"The headmaster Jin is here, a rare guest!" Miao Yi bowed and smiled.
Jin Ling returned the greeting with a bow, "Grand Commander, you are too polite." Then she looked at the construction site and said, "It is really busy."
Miao Yi asked with a smile, "What orders do you have for me, Master?"
"I don't deserve your orders." Jin Ling turned around and said expressionlessly, "It's just that there is something I want to explain to the Grand Commander in person to avoid any misunderstandings in the future."
This sounded a bit heavy. Miao Yi, Wen Ze and Heng Wudao looked at each other and asked, "What's the matter? Niu is all ears."
Jin Ling did not beat around the bush and said bluntly, "A few days ago, Xiahou family's chief steward Wei Shu found Yuexing Palace and said that if Zhengqi Sect settled here, he would also set up a sect to settle here. I don't know whether what Wei Shu said is true or not, but there is one thing that Yuexing Palace must make clear to the Grand Commander. The Grand Commander must know that this is Yuexing Palace's territory. Have you ever seen a sect insert another sect into the family? If Zhengqi Sect really wants to gain a foothold here, then I can solemnly remind the Grand Commander that Yuexing Palace will not agree. There is no room for negotiation on this matter. Goodbye!" There was no need for her to hide Wei Shu, and she said it directly. After speaking, she turned around and flew away with her people. It seemed that she didn't want to have a close relationship with Miao Yi at all, which was very rude.
Miao Yi's mouth corners slightly tilted. Damn it, Wei Shu, that old guy dared to do something behind his back.
But then again, he really had no way to deal with Wei Shu. Dare to touch Wei Shu and go to war with the Xiahou family. Moreover, the matter had been exposed by Wei Shu. Yuexing Palace's attitude was very clear. There was no possibility of making a fait accompli. The most important thing was to think that what Yuexing Palace said was not wrong. It was indeed inappropriate to bring another sect into the territory of another sect. He would not agree to it if he were in his place. It was estimated that the Heavenly Court would not agree to his unreasonable request.
But the problem now was that Zhengqi Sect must be protected by him. It would not be easy to gain a foothold in the territory of the Four Armies after leaving the Netherworld. Those families would definitely not make Zhengqi Sect comfortable. However, in the Netherworld, there was no other suitable place for a sect to gain a long-term foothold except the territory of Yuexing Palace.
Wei Shu's purpose was very clear, to force Zhengqi Sect out of the Netherworld and then put pressure on it!
"Grand Commander, why would Wei Shu bite Zhengqi Sect?" Wen Ze couldn't help asking. He had heard about the affairs of Zhengqi Sect and Gao Yan, but he didn't understand why Wei Shu targeted him again, because he didn't know the situation of Zhengqi Grocery Store yet.
Heng Wudao was somewhat surprised. He had not paid attention to this information yet.
"I built the Zhengqi Grocery Store with my own hands, but it was divided up by those shameless people..." Miao Yi did give a general account of the situation.
Wen Ze and Heng Wudao looked at each other in silence. It turned out that they had tricked Xiahou Ling and wanted to start a new business. They even overthrew Ying Jiuguang. How could they be so easy to deal with?
Heng Wudao frowned and kindly reminded him, "Grand Commander, why don't you just forget about the Zhengqimen matter and give in. You seem to be taking too big a step now."
"If there is really no place to stay, at worst, let the Zhengqimen disperse in Tianjie first, and think of a solution after you have recovered from this and dealt with the current matters." Miao Yi waved his hand. It's not that no one has advised him about the Zhengqimen matter. When he first made the Zhengqimen matter, Yang Qing was almost angry to vomit blood. With such a big plan, Miao Yi was carrying out his own agenda. Yang Qing was always worried that there would be complications later, but it was useless. He couldn't persuade him!
But for Miao Yi at that time, Taoist Deming found him and knew that Baolian was in such trouble. Could he just sit back and watch?
"The key now is to support the shops in Tianjie. With the shops, Zhengqimen will have a good foothold. The affairs of Tianjie will be handed over to you. The central authority in charge of the various regions of Tianjie happens to be the Imperial Guards. You are familiar with the Imperial Guards, so you should say hello to them more often." Miao Yi turned around and threw the matter directly to Wen Ze, pointing Wen Ze to take care of it.
"I..." Wen Ze pointed at himself, "It's not appropriate, I'm already in charge of Youquan and Ghost Market, I'm afraid I can't handle it! Heng Wudao will be fine after he finishes building the house, let Heng Wudao take care of it." There was something in his heart that he didn't say. The grocery store is your private source of wealth. You asked me to help you do private work. It's a pity that you asked for this.
Miao Yi stared at him coldly and said, "You need to make one thing clear. You are now a member of the Netherworld Governor's Office, not a member of the Guards. Are you here to take a lifetime salary? If so, I won't force you!"
"..." Wen Ze was speechless, and finally said with a smile: "I'll try my best."
The matter was temporarily settled, and Miao Yi then led Wen Ze to the Ghost Market.
After arriving at the Ghost Market, Wen Ze went to the General Town Office to formally understand the situation in detail, and then went back to the Nether Spring to check.
Miao Yi went to Xinyi Pavilion.
The meeting with Cao Man went smoothly and both sides were satisfied.
However, not everything went smoothly, and the unexpected things that Yang Qing was worried about finally appeared. (To be continued.)
