The First Marquis of Daxuan

Chapter 242 Construction (Please subscribe, collect, and recommend)

"Are you sure you're not kidding?"

Fu Qingzhu was stunned by what he heard, and felt like he was listening to a storyteller telling a story.

No, even the storytellers’ stories are not so exciting!
Fu Qingzhu was even a little annoyed. Why did he come a step late?
If I had come earlier, wouldn't I have been able to see the reversal just now?
He came in a hurry, originally wanting to support Su Mu and prevent those old guys from going too far.

Even if there is a punishment, it should be within the Taiping Division that Su Mu is punished, and it is not the turn of those old guys to interfere.

Unexpectedly, when they came here, those old guys who were always arrogant were suddenly silent.

After listening to Yang Yunzhong's account of what happened, Fu Qingzhu finally understood what had happened.

"Absolutely true!"

Yang Yun said sternly, "These few people are the outer followers of the Pure Land Sect. They instigated those scholars to attack the Taipingsi Yamen in Songjiang Prefecture.

Moreover, according to their confession, there are still many Pure Land Sect believers hiding in Songjiang Prefecture.

Commander Yang, the second branch of the Lu family is involved with the Pure Land Sect. The Lu family is not in Songjiang Prefecture. Do you think you can send someone to investigate them?"

"Leave it to me."

Fu Qingzhu said without hesitation.

Although he was only a pacification commissioner, Li Tingkui, the commander of the Xiangzhou Taiping Division, was absent all year round. Usually, Fu Qingzhu was in charge of the affairs of the entire Xiangzhou Taiping Division.

"Junior Brother Su, you have accomplished another great feat."

Fu Qingzhu looked at Su Mu and couldn't help but sigh.

Such a huge storm ended in this way, which was completely beyond Fu Qingzhu's expectations.

Fu Qingzhu has even sent a message to Li Tingkui to come back and save the situation.

He also thought that even if Su Mu could get through safely this time, he would definitely not be able to serve as the governor of Songjiang Prefecture.

After all, he had caused such a big disaster. Even if the department could protect him, they would have to do some superficial work in order to appease the anger of the civil servants in the court.

Now, the evidence is conclusive. Su Mu is not only innocent, but has made contributions.

Even the civil servants in the court could not say anything.

Haven’t you seen that all these retired old guys in Xiangzhou are silent?

It is now obvious that those scholars were instigated by the Pure Land Sect, and it is reasonable for Su Mu to punish them in any way.

Not to mention causing trouble for Su Mu, they now have to thank Su Mu for disciplining their students and juniors.

Su Mu saved them!

"It's just a coincidence."

Su Mu smiled slightly and said calmly, "If the people from the Pure Land Sect hadn't jumped out to assassinate me, if they hadn't wanted to cause trouble for me, I wouldn't have seized this opportunity."

"Why didn't you say that you killed their young leader?"

Fu Qingzhu said to himself.

He knew Su Mu's battle record. If Su Mu had not killed the young leader of the Pure Land Sect, the people of the Pure Land Sect would not have targeted Su Mu so much.

Of course, even if there is an opportunity, you have to seize it.

If it were someone else, even if the same thing happened, they might not have the courage to react like Su Mu.

Fu Qingzhu knew that he would not dare to put hundreds of scholars in shackles and display them in public.

This means that there are indeed Pure Land Buddhist followers among these people. What if there are not?
If not, this action would be equivalent to offending all the scholars in Xiangzhou.

Although these scholars are powerless individually, this group still has considerable say in the court.

Even if we find followers of the Pure Land Buddhism now, there is still a lot of potential in doing this.

Even though these people are obedient now, they must be jealous of Su Mu in their hearts.

Fu Qingzhu knew very well that these scholars were very narrow-minded.

If they have the chance in the future, they will definitely find ways to make things difficult for Su Mu.

"Since everything is fine here, I will go back to the capital."

Fu Qingzhu said to Su Mu, "If anything else happens, tell me in time so I can be prepared."

After saying this, he left in a hurry with his men without even seeing the city.

Looking at Fu Qingzhu's departing back, Su Mu smiled.

He knew very well that Fu Qingzhu had brought people here in such a hurry just to help him.

Although Xiangzhou has various problems, as long as there are these most lovely people, Su Mu feels that there is still hope in this world.

"Su Mu, I brought a group of craftsmen and silver."

Wu Yiqi came to Su Mu, feeling deeply moved.

As expected, it was still the familiar Su Mu. Even though things seemed impossible, he was able to accomplish them.

Fortunately, I was smart and did not stand on Li Dangsen's side before.

Otherwise you'd be in big trouble now.

The older you get, the wiser you get. My father didn't wrestle with Su Mu at the beginning, but simply gave in. Now it seems that this might have been the best choice.

If the dispute continues, the Wu family may suffer even greater losses.

Now it’s just a matter of paying some silver. For the Wu family, this loss is completely bearable.

"White Deer Academy can start work at any time."

Wu Yiqi whispered.

"Let's finish the matter at hand first."

Su Mu nodded and said, "Let Li Dangsen, the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture, check it out first. If he interferes, the construction of Bailu Academy will have many twists and turns."

When Li Dangsen, who was not far away, heard these words, his body suddenly went limp.

Master Zhang Luzhong tried his best to support him, but was dragged to the ground by his fat body.

Those retired old men were too embarrassed to stay any longer. They looked at Li Dangsen with sympathy, hurriedly found an excuse, and left without even looking back, ignoring the students and juniors who were being shackled for public display.

…………

There was a map of Songjiang Prefecture in front of Su Mu.

Li Dangsen, the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture, has been detained by the Supervisory Office and will probably spend the rest of his life in prison.

Before the new prefect took office, the highest-ranking officials in Songjiang Prefecture were Su Mu and Wu Yiqi.

Su Mu wanted to choose a place for the Bailu Academy in Songjiang Prefecture, and the officials of Songjiang Prefecture naturally had no right to object.

"Songjiang Prefecture is a beautiful place with beautiful mountains and rivers. I think it would be a good place to build it."

Wu Yiqi pointed to a random location and made a suggestion.

The place he pointed to was located twenty miles outside Songjiang Prefecture. It was by the water and backed by mountains, and it would not affect the people in the city. It was indeed a good place.

"I think Songjiang Bailu Academy should be built here."

Su Mu shook his head and put his finger on the map.

"here?"

Wu Yiqi showed a puzzled look on his face, "Isn't this place inappropriate?

This is the most prosperous place in the city. If the monsters in the Monster Court lived here, they would easily hurt people if they got angry. "

Su Mu was referring to a location that was almost the center of Songjiang Prefecture on the map.

There was indeed a large piece of vacant land there, which was bought by Li Dangsen, the governor of Songjiang Prefecture, with the intention of building the Li family mansion.

Of course he doesn't need it now.

The location of that place is excellent and can be used to build a college, but the problem is that it is too prosperous.

"When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Since you are in Daxuan, you must abide by the rules of Daxuan. If you dare to hurt someone, you will be killed."

Su Mu said lightly.

This is indeed very Su Mu.

Wu Yiqi complained in his heart, but when he thought about it carefully, it seemed to be true.

The demon court sent the demons here to learn from humans, not to kill people. They should restrain their nature. If they really dare to hurt people in Songjiang Prefecture, then they will have sufficient reasons to kill them.

“The Bailu Academy in Songjiang Prefecture must not only be built in the most prosperous area, but also employ the best craftsmen and build the best buildings.

The place where those monsters live must be big and luxurious enough. They should feel dazzled by the extravagance and luxury at the first sight of it!"

Su Mu continued.

"Why should we be so nice to them?"

Wu Yiqi said, "If we build it this way, the cost will be too high."

"It's not that my Wu family is reluctant to spend money..."

He explained quickly.

Su Mu waved his hand and said, "The Wu family doesn't have enough money, so we'll put all the silver we confiscated from Songjiang Prefecture into it.

After the house is built, if the monster wants to live in it, it has to pay money.

If they don’t pay, they will be forced to live in a cowshed.”

Wu Yiqi and Luo Anning, Xiang Xiaoyuan, Shi Ziran and others present stared at each other with strange looks on their faces.

"Not only must we live in the best place, we must also eat the best food. We must have the meat of third-level monsters for every meal. We can also provide fourth-level monster meat as well. As long as you pay, we will give you as much as you want."

Su Mu continued.

"If you want to learn something, you have to pay. If you don't pay, you can only learn the basics with human children. You can't learn anything else."

Wu Yiqi's eyes widened and he couldn't help swallowing.

Listen, is this a method that a human can come up with?
He really wanted to knock Su Mu's head open to see what was inside.

"Forget about the brothels, we'll also arrange for them to go to the gambling houses."

Su Mu said, "Don't worry, the first batch of people sent to Daxuan by the Demon Court must be the elites that the Demon Court has worked hard to train. They must have plenty of money, and we must let them indulge in a life of luxury.

Year coins?

Haha, return them to me the same way they took them from Daxuan!"

Everyone's eyes lit up.

This idea is really genius.

The key point is that even if the Demon Court knew all this, they would have no way to deal with it.

We at Daxuan give your "international students" the best treatment. Is there anything wrong with that?

The Demon Court sent monsters to Daxuan with a purpose, and they will never leave easily until they achieve their goal.

As long as they don't leave, they will have to spend money on food, clothing, housing and transportation as long as they stay in Daxuan.

Daxuan is good at making them willingly take out the money from their pockets.

"I understand."

Wu Yiqi said seriously, "But if we want to build it this way, our Wu family's financial resources are indeed insufficient to support it. We also need to let the local families in Songjiang Prefecture participate."

If Su Mu's idea is followed, the entire Songjiang Prefecture must be turned into a den of brothel, so as to achieve the best effect.

This is not something that can be accomplished by one family alone.

"That Chen Yougong is a smart man. Let him contact the local families in Songjiang Prefecture."

Su Mu said slowly, "If this is done, everyone will benefit, and those families will understand this."

…………

"Even if Su Mu doesn't become the Pacification Commissioner, he will definitely become a wealthy businessman!"

Chen Yougong said with emotion, "What a genius idea.

I used to not believe that there were geniuses who knew everything in this world, but now I do.

It turns out that there are people who are better than the average person in every aspect.”

"Master, what should we do now? Should we cooperate?"

A man dressed as an attendant asked.

"Of course I have to cooperate."

Chen Yougong showed an unfathomable smile on his face, "There is money to be made, why not cooperate?

I was originally thinking about how to make Su Mu trust me more. Isn't now the best opportunity?

This matter requires not only cooperation, but also doing it well.

Beautifully done!
Whether it is Su Mu or Wu Yiqi, they are all outsiders in Songjiang Prefecture. If they want to work in Songjiang Prefecture, they cannot do without local people.

If we do this well, they will become more and more dependent on me.

At that time, no matter what they do in Songjiang Prefecture, they can’t do without me.”

The other people in the room all had thoughtful looks on their faces.

"When that time comes, won't it be easy for us to do something?"

One person spoke.

"Yes."

Chen Yougong said confidently, "Only a reckless man would fight against the Taiping Division. Wu Laoer was self-righteous, so he died and lost a top-quality Xuan weapon.

And I will kill Su Mu without bloodshed.

Only I am the best candidate for the Qinglian Envoy."

…………

Inside the Taiping Department of Songjiang Prefecture.

Su Mu sat in his room.

Although Su Mu brought Luo Anning and Xiang Xiaoyuan with him to take up the post, he did not live in the same room with them.

The main reason is that the two girls have not yet completed their fertilization, so it is not appropriate to lose their virginity.

If you live together, it's inevitable that there will be some accidents due to your hot temper.

In order to enjoy the blessing of having two wives as soon as possible, it is best to let the two girls concentrate on their cultivation.

Looking at the things on the table in front of him, Su Mu had a thoughtful look on his face.

A Xuanbing longbow whose power is no less than the Five Fires Shocking Sky Bow.

This was what he seized from the assassin.

He already had the Five Fires Shocking Sky Bow, so having another similar bow wouldn't be of much use.

Maybe I can use it to exchange for another mysterious weapon.

Su Mu said to himself.

Although the Thunder Blade and the Ziwei Soft Sword are both magical weapons, there is still a gap between them and the mysterious weapons.

It would be nice if I could exchange it for a mysterious sword.

Ordinary people may not be able to exchange it, but he knows someone in the Divine Weapon Pavilion, or he can contact him.

There are also those two space rings that he has not yet given to Luo Anning and Xiang Xiaoyuan.

This kind of thing is so precious that even Su Mu has to be cautious.

It’s not that he is reluctant.

Instead, he was worried that handing it over to them rashly would bring disaster to them.

It might be more appropriate to wait until they break through the True Essence Realm and have stronger self-preservation abilities before handing it over to them. By then, his deterrent power might also be stronger.

"We can call Huo Zhenting to Songjiang Prefecture. He will definitely be interested in the weapon-making materials we got from the wilderness, and he seems to be particularly interested in making money."

Su Mu thought about it and said secretly in his heart.

He now has some foundation, and it's time to find a way to turn this foundation into his own strength.
