During this trip to the north, the two children saw the snow falling all over the sky as they wished, and they also played and played in the snow. Finally, their trip was not in vain.

However, it is a world of ice and snow here, and the two children cannot adapt to the low temperature here, so when they leave this time and pick up Dr. Wu near the strait a month later, they will not take the two children there again.

But maybe after three to five years, or when the two children are a little older, they will take their two children to the north, travel to different countries, and appreciate different people, local customs!

After sending the two children back to their rooms to rest, they packed their bags again and prepared to leave early tomorrow morning.

Because it was inconvenient to expose the location of Shisan's mansion, Xu Ce was asked to go to Ancheng first.

It's not easy to keep Xu Ce waiting for too long, so Su Manrong and Xiao Chengxian don't plan to delay.

Anyway, in less than a month, they will pass by this place again, and there is no need to say too many goodbyes.

However, considering that the people of Ancheng were also deeply affected by natural disasters, they brought a lot of supplies from border towns.

They were originally full of joy and wanted to do something for Dekang and secure a city for Emperor Yongzhi, but they never thought that Ancheng would bring them unexpected surprises!

After all, it is a period of national mourning, and no large gatherings or banquets are allowed, let alone laughing and playing in the crowd.

So after Su Manrong and Xiao Chengxian entered the territory of Ancheng, they asked someone to say hello to the prefect of Ancheng, saying that there was no need to clean up the dust for them.

They live directly in the government palace. After all, the government palace is much safer than the inn.

"See Grand Master Su, Duke Protector of the Country."

Although the prefect did not greet them at the city gate, they still went through a welcoming ceremony after the group arrived at the government office.

Xu Ce also stood behind the prefect, and it seemed that he already knew the identities of Su Manrong and Xiao Chengxian.

"Thank you, Magistrate, I have been bothering you for a while."

Su Manrong smiled slightly in return. She was now a Grand Master, which could be said to be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. She did not need to salute when she saw any official.

Xiao Chengxian is the protector of the country. Logically speaking, Su Manrong does not have a title, so he has to pay tribute to him.

But they are a couple, so naturally they don't need these false etiquette.

Emperor Yongzhi called Su Manrong Taishi, and he was Su Manrong's little fanboy. He gave Su Manrong a special treat early in the morning. Even if he was meeting the saint, he didn't need to salute.

Because Emperor Yongzhi also knew that what Su Manrong disliked the most was these false etiquette...

Therefore, there is no one in the world who needs Su Manrong to perform a grand ceremony.

"It is a great blessing for the people of Ancheng that Grand Master Su and Lord Protector can come to Ancheng.

We must do our best to do the work of dogs and horses."

Magistrate Xie was also very grateful. Although he lived in the Northeast, he had heard about what happened in Qianzhou.

Anyone who becomes an official wants to be a parent-official who is remembered by the people and valued by the court.

Guo Zhizhou of Qianzhou has a far-reaching reputation. Although it was under the cultivation of Taishi Su that Guo Zhizhou achieved such good fortune, his name can be remembered in history, and he has become a model for civil servants.

He also hopes that he can hold on to the master's request and build the city under Anshan's jurisdiction into the second Qianzhou. Then his road to becoming an official can be regarded as...

"Prefect Xie, let's not say any polite words. Time is limited. Let's talk about business first."

Xiao Chengxian said and reminded everyone to go to the official room. As for the placement of the two children and the 50th Guards, they did not need to worry about it.

After the group entered the room, they showed Ancheng's county annals, maps, household registrations, accounts, and even the prison list to Xiao and Su for review.

Magistrate Xie led everyone to do these preparations overnight.

Only by allowing the two of them to understand the details of Ancheng in detail can they better designate development plans for Ancheng, so don't be careless.

"After we entered the city, we also took a look along the way. Due to the impact of the natural disaster, there were no vendors in the city.

At this time, it is indeed good to be self-sufficient.

But relying solely on these accounts and county records, we can’t tell much.”

Su Manrong looked at the densely packed traditional Chinese characters and felt exhausted.

She secretly decided that when the national mourning was over, she would propose to Emperor Yongzhi that if the world were to use simplified characters in the future, it would be best to use abbreviations if possible.

Otherwise, if you simply write one character one by one, you will have to write a dozen more strokes, which will be a waste of time.

"Please also ask for a quote from Master Su." Magistrate Xie stood next to Su Manrong very awkwardly.

"I would like to thank the magistrate for summoning all the people and handing out writing papers. I asked them to write down what they are good at on the paper, and write down their names, addresses and the number of people in the family."

When Su Manrong wanted to develop a city, relying solely on the strength of a few people from the government was simply not enough.

We still need to provide people with job opportunities and get everyone to take action and work together to go further.

"Yes, I will let the master take care of it now." Magistrate Xie nodded repeatedly and winked at the master next to him.

"Tell the people to tell the truth. If you intentionally exaggerate, once found out, the government will definitely not arrange jobs for them in the future."

Ancheng is self-sufficient as it is backed by mountains. There are several mountains within the territory, which contain mineral resources and medicinal material resources.

Therefore, even when there was a natural disaster, the people near Anshan did not flee and fled, but stayed in Ancheng to be self-sufficient.

There are actually many refugees who came from the south and settled at the foot of the mountain.

At present, the natural disaster has stabilized, and some refugees have gone south again and returned to their hometowns.

While Magistrate Xie and others went to do statistical work, Su Manrong and Xiao Chengxian went back to the room to rest with their two children for a while, and then led them to the mountain range closest to Ancheng.

"Duke Protector, Grand Master Su will stay behind."

Magistrate Xie trotted all the way to the government office and stopped their carriage: "Although I am busy with official duties, I can't let you go up the mountain like this.

Mu Yan is a staff member in my house, and he usually helps me make plans, which is why Ancheng is so stable.

Before, she had suggested that I close the mountain and prohibit people from cutting down and digging indiscriminately.

She also accompanied me up the mountain to survey the terrain, so let her accompany you two to the mountain."

As Magistrate Xie spoke, he couldn't hide the admiration in his brows.

The woman who followed him was dressed in dark clothes and had her hair tied up high, looking heroic.

Her outfit is relatively neutral, but her appearance is as delicate as a hibiscus.

"See the Protector of the Country, Grand Master Su, I am here to speak, Mu Yan."

Mu Yan took two steps quickly and bowed in salute. He looked even more heroic and heroic.

"You're welcome, Miss Mu. Could you please lead the way for us?"

It was also the first time for Su Manrong to see such a heroic yet unconventional woman disguised as a man.

After arriving in ancient times, she was surrounded by pretentious women. The female family members of Xiaosu and Su mansions kept acting like monsters, which annoyed her to death.

Now that I saw Mu Yan's dress, I felt that she must be different from those women who live in seclusion.
