Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses

Chapter 1258: Chapter 347: An Old Acquaintance, Perhaps (Part 2)

And isn’t this arrival too sudden? Previously, when they came, they always sent their subordinates ahead to notify us, telling us which day they would arrive, so we could prepare accordingly, like arranging girls and drinks beforehand, or setting the environment for the event, that sort of thing.

This time, they came without prior notice, which suggests the City Lord might be feeling a bit nervous, right?

A bit nervous? Oh, my ancestors, you have no idea how I’ve gotten through these last few days... The City Lord said with a bitter smile: ”It’s like this!”

”We’ve come over to discuss things with you; we plan to let all the people of Jiangzhou City relocate to Jiangnan.”

”So we can discuss many matters now; there are still six months left until the New Year.”

”In these six months, if we handle things quickly, we can celebrate the New Year in Jiangnan.”

After saying this, the County Magistrate and the adviser both suddenly knelt down.

They truly knelt down! What kind of divine news is this!

Such a thing I had only seen in dreams, but I had never expected it to appear in real life now!

Jiangzhou City is really going to integrate into Jiangnan!

”Good gracious!”

The two were in a state of shock that could not settle down for a long time.

And next came the conversation between the Imperial Decree Department of Jiangnan and the Imperial Decree Department of Jiangzhou City.

The adviser and the City Lord went to Jiangnan, where they discussed much with the County Magistrate and adviser, ultimately finalizing a plan, which began execution at this moment.

This was the plan named ”Jiangzhou City Revival,” which actually meant relocating the people of Jiangzhou City to live in Jiangnan. Of course, there was no need to rush; soon, all artisans of Jiangzhou City would move to Jiangnan, and various materials and things would be swiftly constructed.

The rules were still the same as before; for furniture and such, either buy new or use the old ones—these were minor issues.

The main concern is the residences.

The residences remain the same as before.

Property exchange.

This means that as long as there is a land deed for a Jiangzhou City residence, it can be exchanged for a corresponding residence in Jiangnan, so the cost for relocation is almost negligible. In addition, the government and the chamber of commerce both allocate funds for this aspect, making the whole execution extremely easy.

Of course, Yuchi is doing some calculations; if he wanted to sell land, it would be incredibly easy—he would become immensely wealthy instantly.

By New Year, only half a year later, Jiangnan would have at least 2.5 million people, counting residences, that would mean at least around 100,000 various houses.

Charging a thousand silver for a set of large residences would not be unreasonable, considering the massive area, then for 100,000 such residences, that would effortlessly total to a billion in silver.

But this is a fundamentally destructive act, purchasing new residences leaves people with no money or silver, and without money or silver, there’s no purchasing ability.

Without purchasing ability, everything is nonsense, leading to a decline in living standards and a series of accompanying issues, which are not merely about population.

So the government funds all this, using the silver collected from taxing over the years, likewise for the chamber of commerce.

Various major families are eagerly donating, simply to see their family names on the final ”monument.”

This truly is an honor, watching Jiangnan grow step by step feels wonderful.

It’s worth knowing that the government of Jiangnan gives people the warm feeling of being back home, it feels so intimate.

With such a reliable government and visible prosperity of Jiangnan, it creates a sense of belonging.

”Master, come join us in the dungeon!”

”Dungeon?”

”Oh, that’s President Yuchi’s catchphrase, it refers to visiting the blueish small building, typically a group against one.”

”...I’ve learned something.”

”So, shall we go? To the dungeon?”

”No, no, I still have things to do, let’s go dungeon next time together!”

As the City Lord and others left at night, the County Magistrate and adviser finally breathed a long sigh of relief:

”These old folks didn’t even stay overnight in Jiangnan, it seems they really want to handle this matter swiftly!”

”Indeed!”

”So what else can we say?”

”Yuchi Saburo... amazing!”

So incisive, indeed making the two worried, but in reality there was no need to worry, not only nothing dangerous happened in Jiangzhou City, but he also handled the people of Jiangzhou City!

And of course the City Lord and the others didn’t tell them about the beheading of the other three institutions, otherwise who knows what expressions the adviser and County Magistrate would have right now?

Probably quite panicked!

And now with the rapid expansion of Jiangnan, after receiving acknowledgment from Jiangzhou City, this speed might double! Then, who knows by this New Year, perhaps Jiangnan will present itself in good form! Truly looking forward to the day Jiangnan becomes great!
