Chapter 59 Steady Rise (5)

After breakfast, Ling Xi remembered Hallmaster Ye's meeting ceremony.

She hurriedly took it out to have a look, and suddenly she was not calm!

A universe bag worth two ink crystals, this meeting gift is really heavy enough!
The two smoky crystals may not be a big deal to the Huofeng caravan, but to her, it's like a pie falling from the sky, just like a mortal who suddenly got a fairy's treasure gourd, the excitement is indescribable!
I don't know how much space there is, but it should be the size of a basketball court, right?

After thinking about it, she has stuffed all the spare things in it, even put several sets of clothes, all kinds of spirit, flesh and spirit liquid ingredients, in case of emergencies.

In the end, it was taken out again.

After repeating this several times, I was as excited as a child who just got a toy, showing a girlish look rarely.

However, there were so many trivial matters, she had no choice but to change into casual clothes and go to busy with government affairs.

First, order the guards to go to the bulletin board to post a post to recruit craftsmen and build a tavern.

Afterwards, annual salaries were distributed to the monks in the city guard who had not deducted taxes, and everyone was informed about the salary increase. Nearly a hundred people danced happily, and they could improve their strength with spirit stones.

Ling Xi took the opportunity to warn: "There are still four days before the New Year, the city guards will not relax, and will arrange for you to take turns to rest and take a bath."

"Yes! I will obey!"

Hundreds of people responded cheerfully, and Ling Xi smiled helplessly after being teased.

Seeing that the New Year is coming, everyone has to be rewarded throughout the year, and the whole city lord's mansion, including the city guards, has to give some rewards for auspiciousness.

More or less, it is also her wish, and it can also make everyone have a happy new year and work with more peace of mind in the coming year.

In the end, she went to visit Gu Chuan and his wife with the New Year ceremony in person.

"Senior Gu, things are worthless, so I hope you don't dislike them."

"My lord is polite enough to give you a gift. In fact, my lord only needs to read a few sentences from the fragmented scroll to me..."

Hearing this, Ling Xi was taken aback for a while before smiling heartily.

While she still had time, she really should have read a passage to Gu Chuan.

Gu Chuan understood, and finally confirmed that the city lord never lied to him, just a short paragraph was enough for him to digest for a while.

He said gratefully, "My lord, you still don't know my identity, so you trust me like that?"

"It doesn't matter what your identity was in the past. Now I only know that you are my guest minister who closed the city, and you are paying for the closure of the city. As the saying goes, you don't need to be suspicious, and you don't need to be suspicious when employing people."

Gu Chuan's heart was touched, the "boy" in front of him was undoubtedly an excellent city lord!

Coming out of the side hall, Ling Xi led the guards to the watchtower.

Standing at the highest point of the closed city, you can have a panoramic view of the city.

The closure of the city in the twelfth lunar month is like a world of ice and snow, with ice everywhere.

A few pedestrians walked on the road shivering, and the people without spiritual power felt uncomfortable. They were old and frail, and some even froze to death.

Ling Xi frowned slightly, remembering that there were a lot of animal skins in the backyard, besides being sold to the Huofeng caravan, there were many that could be made into leather clothes.The monster skin could somewhat resist the cold, so he ordered his servants to take it to the central square and give it to the people in the closed city.

The people got the animal skins for free, and praised the city lord for his benevolence and kindness.

Ling Xi did not expect that her unintentional actions would win the hearts of the people.

In a blink of an eye, it was already the thirtieth of the twelfth lunar month.

Cultivators have a long lifespan, and occasionally they can close for three to five years. Years and festivals are no longer important to monks.

But for Ling Xi, this is her first New Year in Yanhuang Continent.

The mansion was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and the young and old of the Ling family also got a lot of amethysts, and they were planning to save up a sum of medicines and treasures purchased from the crystals.

Ling Xi looked at all this with a slight smile, and suddenly felt a little lost in her heart.
