Shu Yu rembered what Xiao Shi said to her the day before she left when he ntioned dealing with the Xiao Family.
Political conflict can cause fathers and sons to beco enemies and brothers to turn against each other, let alone a couple who were forced together.
Xiang Weinan chose to stand by the Emperor right from the start, not just for himself but for the Xiang Family as well; he had no other choice.
Who knows what will happen between him and Xiao Shi in the future?
But these matters seem too distant for her, so Shu Yu shook her head and stopped thinking about it, simply saying, "Congratulations to Lord Xiang on his promotion. But once you leave, who knows what kind of person the new county magistrate will be? Things won’t be as convenient as they are now."
No, she needs to think if there’s anything she needs from Xiang Weinan, and hurry to get it done before he leaves.
Xiang Weinan himself didn’t know who the new county magistrate was yet; he hadn’t received the information.
"With your abilities, is there anything you can’t accomplish? Besides, there’s ng Yunzheng here, who can challenge you?"
ng Yunzheng: "You really think highly of us."
Xiang Weinan snorted softly. Did he really think highly of them? He had experienced it firsthand.
"But you can relax. Although I’m not sure who will co, I speculate it should be soone conservative and easy-going."
Under the governance of the forr county magistrate, Jiangyuan County was both poor and chaotic. It was only after Xiang Weinan ca that things slowly improved. Young and ambitious, he quickly began implenting large-scale reforms.
After a year and a half, Jiangyuan County is considerably better than it used to be.
However, so reform asures require long-term effectiveness, and if the new county magistrate is aggressive and completely differs in approach, Jiangyuan County will inevitably beco chaotic again.
The Emperor sent him here not just to overthrow the county magistrate and the magistrate of Dongan Province, nor rely for him to gain more experience, but genuinely for the developnt of this area.
Therefore, regarding the successor to the county magistrate’s position, it will likely be soone moderate and conservative, just needing to continue Xiang Weinan’s reforms.
Shu Yu thought so too; once the person arrives, it’ll be evident.
After discussing, she noticed ng Yunzheng and Xiang Weinan seed to have more to talk about, so she didn’t linger.
The Capital needs a large quantity of goods, and she still needs to figure out a way.
Shu Yu left the county office and didn’t go ho but headed straight to the workshop.
Daniu has been staying in the oil pressing workshop lately; he’s performing several roles due to a lack of capable people under Shu Yu. The newcors are still being observed to see if they can manage independently, so Daniu has been working extra hard.
When Shu Yu arrived, he was sweating profusely, coming out from inside.
"Yu, why did you co over at this hour? It’s already afternoon."
"I ca to tell you sothing."
"What’s the matter?" Daniu wiped his sweat as the two talked while heading towards Shu Yu’s office.
Both have set up offices here to discuss matters occasionally, mainly for the quiet.
Once they sat down, Ying Xi brought over a pot of boiled water and poured them so tea.
Daniu exhaled, "Yu, go ahead, do you need to help with sothing?"
"Not exactly help, I’ve co to tell you so good news."
"Good news?"
"A letter from the Capital arrived; our sunflower oil has caught the palace’s attention, and we’ll be supplying so to them."
