Accidentally dressed as an empress

Chapter 123: Fishing Enforcement?

Order began to be restored in Baili City. Gambling houses were closed, black shops were sealed, and pawnshops were banned.

The lives of the people also began to gradually return to normal. In addition to working in the silver mines and building official post stations, they also reclaimed barren fields and waited for farming in the spring of the following year.

The new governor of Baili City was named Xie Fengchun, a woman in her thirties. She looked unfamiliar and Yunxiu had never seen her before.

After asking, I found out that Xie Fengchun was the prefect of Yunyang City and was transferred here.

Yunxiu wanted to hand over the work to her. Yunxiu had already re-counted the population and household registration, and also brought technical sponsorship to Baili City, and incubated a pillar industry, the silver foundry.

Gambling houses and scams were causing the people's morals to degenerate and their lives to take a sharp turn for the worse. The common people were eager to make a quick buck and were no longer willing to work for jobs that paid slowly. Yunxiu immediately raided and closed the gambling houses.

First, restore the ability to generate income so that people can have a job to make a living, and then improve people's customs.

Yunxiu and Xie Fengchun had a long conversation in the prefect's mansion, communicating and exchanging ideas for the whole day, and they wished they could become close friends.

Xie Fengchun sent people to re-measure the land, and each citizen could get three mu of land based on their household registration book.

Officials from the Grain Market Department also led craftsmen to rebuild the official post station. The people participated in the construction and received daily wages. This was another example of using infrastructure construction to provide relief through work.

Yunxiu smiled. Now that she had finished her business, it was time to move on. She had to get to Xiling as quickly as possible, and reach Yunyin City before the weather turned cold and snowed.

Zhong Lu sent dozens of people to escort the men from Xiaoyao Tower to Lingyun City. Those men refused to redeem themselves and were determined to go to Lingyun City to make money from the rich.

Is this what it means to love what you do? To cultivate yourself deeply in one industry and reach the top? Is a prostitute who doesn't want to be an otaku not a good prostitute?

Yunxiu is incomprehensible. All I can say is, as one drinks the water, one knows whether it is hot or cold. Respect and blessings.

They prepared food and hay for the journey, and filled several barrels of water in wooden barrels. After everything was ready, Yunxiu and his group left the city.

Xie Fengchun escorted Yunxiu and the others out of the city. Yunxiu said to her, "Xie Taishou, please go back. After sending you a thousand miles, we must finally say goodbye."

Xie Fengchun bowed, "Your Highness, have a safe journey."

[Host, wait a moment, you can recruit someone, Liu Zhi.]

【who? 】

[Your former retainer, the one you let slip away. Liu Zhi, is also on her way here. This Liu Zhi has caught the attention of Your Majesty. Your Majesty saw her policy papers and thought they were useful, so he sent for her. Liu Zhi founded a school in her hometown to teach people how to read.]

Yunxiu replied, "Oh, I see. No rush. Let her train at the grassroots level first."

The system was speechless. Its host was too opinionated. Whatever anyone said passed through her ears like wind and she would never listen to it.

Yunxiu had Zhong Lu's garrison depart a day later than she did. What was the point of being escorted by the garrison under banners? She had been on this journey solely to conduct a sting operation.

They continued to head west, and when they reached a forest, they suddenly heard a chaotic sound of horse hooves. Yunxiu quickly sat up straight and found that the horse hooves sound in front was not made by the carriage team.

"Something's happening." Yunxiu's voice rang in Zhong Yi's ears. Yunxiu had already discovered something was wrong. She was sitting in the carriage, her eyes looking through the window to the front.

Zhong Yi followed Yunxiu's gaze. Ahead lay a small path, flanked by towering peaks, a desolate scene. Suddenly, a group of people emerged from the side of the path, blocking their path. They were dressed in black, each armed, and looked like bandits.

"I opened this mountain and planted these trees. If you pay me the toll, I will let you pass." The leading man shouted loudly.

Yunxiu lifted the carriage curtain and glanced at the group of people. A cold look flashed in her eyes. She shook her head slightly, and a hint of contempt appeared in her voice: "With your strength, you dare to ask me for a bribe?"

"Bold passerby, leave your money if you know what's good for you, otherwise we will not be polite!" The bandit leader waved the big knife in his hand and threatened viciously.

Yunxiu took a deep breath and shouted to the bandits, "We are a caravan heading to Xiling. The goods we carry are all hard-earned. How can we let you rob us so easily? If you know what's good for you, you'd better let us go, otherwise don't blame us for being rude!"

"Stop talking nonsense! If you want to survive, leave the money!"

Then don't blame her.

Yunxiu smiled gently, she lifted Zhong Yi's hand and turned her wrist.

In an instant, the hidden arrow pierced through the carriage curtain and hit the leading man in the neck. He opened his eyes wide and fell down.

"You are looking for death! Avenge your brothers!" another man shouted and rushed towards them with a knife.

Seeing this, other bandits rushed over.

Yunxiu looked at the mob and shouted, "Su Da, Su Er, Su San, Su Si, you guys go ahead!"

The guards around Yunxiu rushed into the group of men in black. They were like wolves among a flock of sheep, and the group of black-clad bandits had no power to resist.

This group of bandits who were robbing people on the road were quickly dealt with.

Yunxiu suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. "Wait, those robbers seemed to be all short, unshaven men?"

Zhong Yi also frowned. "These men have booming voices and rough manners, just like... the men of Chu."

"Heh," Yun Xiu sneered. The Yun Kingdom is so big that there are all kinds of strange things. In this world where women are dominant, there are really men who have awakened.

"let's go."

On the other side, the bandits squatting in the woods waited for a long time, but there was no movement. None of the brothers who went to rob came back.

Unexpectedly, he encountered a tough opponent this time. He secretly thought about it in his mind, and finally retreated with his men hiding in the dark.
