Douluo: Reincarnation of Leosli, punishing the evildoers

"Qinghe, is he going to become emperor?" Xigewen stood quietly to the side, listening to Ning Fengzhi and Chenxin's conversation.

Ning Fengzhi frowned slightly, his gaze fixed on the distance: "The fact that Emperor Xueye abdicated at this time must have some hidden reasons."

Chen Xin crossed his arms, his expression cold and stern: "Perhaps the Spirit Hall's actions are related to this. Their patrol order came too suddenly, and the timing was too coincidental."

"Qinghe's ascension to the throne may not necessarily be a bad thing for us." Ning Fengzhi pondered for a moment, his tone deep.

Lou Gao didn't understand those intricate details. In a sense, he was a member of the Star Luo Empire. What did it matter to him who became emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire?

As for Leosley, who was the person with the deepest relationship with "Xue Qinghe", he simply smiled indifferently at the matter.

Ning Fengzhi turned to look at Leosley, his tone slightly probing: "Duke, what are your thoughts on Qinghe's ascension to the throne?"

Although Xue Qinghe was nominally his student, the Crown Prince and the Emperor were of different statuses, and the proper etiquette still had to be observed.

Upon hearing this, Leosley smiled slightly: "Sect Leader Ning need not worry. Whether Qinghe is the Crown Prince or the Emperor, it does not change the fact that he is your student."

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi's gaze lingered on Leosley's face for a moment before he burst into laughter.

"The Duke is absolutely right. I am naturally pleased that Qinghe is able to inherit the throne of the Heaven Dou Empire. Although he is my student, he also shoulders the heavy responsibility of the Heaven Dou Empire. No matter what happens, I believe he will make the right choice."

After parting ways, Leosley and Siegwen first took Lou Gao to the blacksmith shop in front of the clinic.

Uh~
At this point, calling it a blacksmith shop would no longer be accurate.

Because of the relocation of the Po and Yu clans, they basically swapped homes with the Li and Min clans.

Now, most of the stalls at the entrance have been taken over by the Po and Yu clans.

After all, from a certain perspective, if these two races were to actually do business in this era, they would make more money than the Li and Min races; they just lack the time.

One was skilled in alchemy, and the other, in modern terms, was a professional construction contractor.

How should I put it, the area in front of the clinic now?

As if it had been cleaned up by the urban management officers, all the stalls that used to be set up everywhere are now housed in small buildings.

It has transformed from a stall into a shop.

"This"

Leosley felt like he'd been gone for a year.

This speed of infrastructure construction is unheard of, even at the University of Tokyo!
Although the shops were all built with wood and bricks, Leosley knew before that there were at least nearly a hundred shops and houses on their street, plus some scattered stalls. If you really wanted to count them, the amount of work involved was considerable.

And what happened to his clinic?!

What's with this art style that doesn't match the surroundings at all?

Why are there so many muscular male fans?!

The entire clinic has a cartoonish feel, especially the signboard, with its huge blue and white logo, which is simply an eyesore.

However, seeing Siegfried's delighted expression, Leosley didn't say much.

Oh well, as long as the head nurse is happy.

Upon seeing Leosley, a sharp-eyed member of the Royal Clan quickly stepped forward and said with a smile, "Duke, Miss Sigwen, you're back."

"Well, Your Grace, don't worry, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe has agreed." The disciple patted his chest loudly, looking very confident, and said, "Our two clans may not have much else, but we have plenty of strength and manpower."

"no."

Leosley was interrupted by his disciple before he could finish speaking.

"Duke, rest assured, none of these things cost us any money; they were all funded by the royal family."

“I mean,” “Duke, don’t be fooled by the current cartoon-style decor. We’ll change the furniture and give you back an authentic clinic.”

"Listen to me!"

Leosley was somewhat exasperated with his disciple who kept interrupting others.

I don't know how Niu Gao taught them; they're all so impatient.

"Then, Your Highness, please speak." The disciple scratched his head and chuckled.

"While you were doing all this, where did those stalls that were originally here go? And I remember there was a blacksmith shop here." Leosley finally asked the question.

"Duke, you mean that blacksmith shop?" The disciple laughed and pointed in a direction, saying, "It's moved over there, not far. And from now on, all the shops in front of this place belong to you, Duke. Even our Yu Clan and Po Clan have opened shops around here."

Xue Qinghe gave them the reason for this street renovation: to beautify the environment. Some stalls and such were all converted into shops.

Of course, it's also primarily a matter of building a positive image.

Along with that, there were also some shops run by the Po and Yu clans themselves.

Their main business is also very much in line with what they are good at.

"what?"

Leosley was stunned.

Would the royal family be so kind as to give him all these shops in front of the clinic for free?

You must understand that everything in Tiandou City belongs to the royal family. Even if people are just living here, they still have to pay taxes to the royal family every year, and no one is exempt.

Apart from the people in the noble district.

Of course, although there was no one to urge Leosley to pay, he would still pay on his own every time.

Given the rules, Leosley wouldn't deliberately break them.

Whether the tax collectors dare to collect the taxes is another matter entirely.

Indeed, converting stalls into shops would not only improve the aesthetics but also generate more tax revenue, since stalls and shops are fundamentally different entities.

But you should know that these shops are not just on one commercial street, but in a commercial district.

Moreover, although this commercial district is not the most prosperous in Tiandou City, it is very peaceful because of Leosli's presence. No one dares to cause trouble, so the shops and stalls are almost fully rented, and the taxes collected are a considerable amount.

The royal family couldn't possibly be unaware of this.

"This is."

Leosley stared blankly in the direction the disciple had left.

Why does it feel like something Emperor Xueye did?

Given their relationship with Xue Qinghe, Xue Ye couldn't possibly be unaware of it. Could this be some kind of gesture of goodwill?
But the question is, why?
Xue Qinghe is about to ascend the throne, and Xue Ye's abdication at this time indicates that he intends to relinquish power to Xue Qinghe.

But what does this have to do with me, a blacksmith?
Leosley couldn't understand it.

But for now, let's get Lou Gao to the blacksmith's shop first.

It must be said that although Lou Gao seemed very humble towards Leosley, his attitude towards the blacksmith in front of him, who was inferior to him, was quite different.

Upon hearing that a master craftsman had arrived, the old blacksmith immediately led his disciples to kneel down.

That scene terrified Lou Gao so much that he almost knelt down on the spot. (End of Chapter)
