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

Chapter 1309: Chapter 355: It’s a Saint

In the end, when the two of them hurried to the council hall, they finally discovered that Yuchi was walking in front, while the other City Lords, County Magistrates and the like were all smiling as they followed behind honest old Yuchi.

So what on earth is going on here?

This same bunch of snarling mutts from just now, how come they’re all so gentle in front of Yuchi? And now what is Yuchi planning to take them to do?

Yuchi also saw the County Magistrate and the legal advisor; he had the cook beside him lead the way as he walked up to them and said, ”Perfect timing, you two, let’s go eat dumplings together.”

”From now on we’re all one family.”

”When it comes to the detailed stuff later, I’ll still have to trouble you two to handle it behind the scenes, yeah.”

The legal advisor and the County Magistrate were instantly struck dumb. The meaning in Yuchi’s words was very simple: these thirty‑odd people here, they were joining Jiangnan!

Good grief!

They actually chose to directly join Jiangnan?! In other words, it’s not just one big city like Jiangzhou City—there are another three big cities plus more than thirty towns about to be merged in?

Then how did Yuchi pull this off!?

That’s it, it’s all settled just like that!?

This crowd really does have two faces, huh! They were barking up a storm at us, but in front of Yuchi they’re this well‑behaved!?

The legal advisor and the County Magistrate had no idea what to say, they just stared wide‑eyed at everything unfolding before them.

After thinking for a long time.

This just doesn’t make sense no matter how you look at it!

Yuchi walked along beside this group with a smile, and now it felt like they were all a bunch of old relatives. Of course, things were definitely not that simple. Even though the Imperial Decree Department had agreed, the Celestial Capital Department and the others were definitely not going to be that easy, so there would still be a lot of matters involving various Star‑Observing Platforms to handle later.

Meaning they needed to go explain the situation clearly to the various major Star‑Observing Platforms; as long as the Star‑Observing Platforms were on board, then the Imperial Decree Department would be under no pressure. And Yuchi had just promised them that if they did feel pressure, they could just pass that pressure directly on to him and he’d take care of it.

The Star‑Observing Platform of Canglan City might be a headache, but when it came to the Star‑Observing Platforms of these Class‑C big cities, honest old Yuchi wasn’t the least bit intimidated.

He figured there would be plenty more miscellaneous odds and ends to deal with down the line.

But that was fine too.

If, at this moment, people from all the other towns all swarmed over, Jiangnan would probably end up wrecked.

”Same old saying: take it slow, you can’t get fat in one bite.”

...

In the cafeteria.

The cook was stunned:

”...So it really is a thousand dumplings! And just how capable is this President Yuchi that all these City Lords and the rest have been arranged so neatly?!”

The women beside him were busy kneading dough.

As they worked the dough, they also glanced from afar at Yuchi, who was chatting and laughing with those City Lords and others.

”President Yuchi truly deserves to be President Yuchi. In all of Jiangnan, only he has this kind of presence. Any girl who could marry him would really be unbelievably lucky!”

”Exactly! It’s just that President Yuchi is hardly ever in Jiangnan, who knows what he’s busy running around doing.”

”Otherwise, if any of us had daughters, we’d be gathering them up and sending them over for President Yuchi to take a look at!”

”Hahaha, President Yuchi would definitely be delighted!”

The old housewives and the rest joked and laughed. The development of Jiangnan these days was just too good. The pace was very fast, but it felt extremely stable!

Really, rock‑solid!

Many of the strategies were steady to a ridiculous degree; there was none of that frantic, impatient chaos at all!

It was simply too comfortable.

Not far away, the lead City Lord looked at the black‑haired young man before him with emotion. He finally couldn’t hold back and said, ”President Yuchi, before we came, we honestly didn’t believe the Jiangnan United Commerce Association was built up by you. Now that we see all this, it really isn’t a coincidence.”

”Your vision is truly extraordinary.”

”You’re a Saint!”

Good grief, what a rainbow‑fart... Yuchi smiled and said, ”Hahahaha, you flatter me. First off, the Association wasn’t built by me alone. What do I know about running an association? Do I understand accounting? I don’t. Do I understand regulations? I don’t either. I don’t know a damn thing, so how can you say this Association was founded by me?”

”It’s just like these big cities: they don’t exist because of one single person. They’re the end result of everyone working together.”

”As for calling me a Saint.”

”My lord, don’t do me dirty like that. How could I be any sort of Saint? I’m just a common fellow, running around all over the place chasing gold and silver.”

The lead City Lord nodded heavily along and said, ”Thank you for your guidance, President. We’ve learned from it! But President Yuchi is also right: this world was never the work of just one person. If someone tries to sweep all the credit for the realm onto themselves, they’re definitely just after their own benefit!”

”And only common folk can properly handle common affairs; Saints cannot save the world.”

”After all, only we common people truly understand our own simple little needs. If some spotless, unsullied person came to govern all of Jiangnan, they’d probably disgust everyone to the point of throwing up.”

Good grief, a double rainbow‑fart... Yuchi smiled and said, ”Heaven and Earth are not benevolent; they treat all things as straw dogs. We can’t reach the level of Heaven and Earth, can’t achieve absolute impartiality toward all things. Of course, we’re not Saints either, and we can’t reach that ’Saintly mercilessness, treating the common people as straw dogs’ level.”

”I, Yuchi, am just a vulgar man who’s done a few messy little things, that’s all.”

”Don’t kill me with praise.”

”And don’t start playing reading‑comprehension games with me.”

As he spoke, Yuchi gave the lead City Lord a meaningful look.

The lead City Lord let out an awkward laugh and hurriedly nodded. ”Yes, yes, yes. President Yuchi, your dumplings—some of them are already ready.”

Yuchi also smiled. ”Come on, everyone, time for dumplings.”

”As the saying goes, nothing’s tastier than dumplings, and nothing’s comfier than lying down!”

”Come on, eat, eat, eat.”

Then the cafeteria filled with a cheerful atmosphere. Yuchi could see that quite a few of them still harbored thoughts of stirring up trouble, but he didn’t care.

First stabilize the overall situation.

For those who remain obstinate, Jiangnan has ways of giving them the ’opportunity for promotion.’
