"good."

As these little ghosts left, they kept looking back at Gu Yunni.

They didn't quite trust her, but no one could deal with her skills.

I can only take a gamble.

The governor was a little surprised as he saw that the gloomy wind around him was getting less and less. He didn't expect that Gu Yunni could actually solve this problem.

Are people who know the mystical arts so magical? He has not been in Kyoto for many years and has no idea about these things.

"Princess, these little devils won't come back, will they? Then can I ask the people to move back? Although there are refugee camps, they are too messy and I'm afraid there will be problems."

The governor looked at Gu Yunni with golden eyes, and couldn't wait to get her to agree.

"I'm still not sure. Who knows if these brats will keep their word? Besides, you haven't even finished your work yet, but you want the people back. Aren't you afraid that they'll cause trouble for you?"

Gu Yunni rolled her eyes and refused to fall into this pit.

If I really agree, I'm afraid I'll have to take care of all the trouble. It's really a good calculation.

"Your Excellency, the Governor is indeed quite capable. This prince is standing right beside you, yet you're already thinking these petty things. Don't you take me seriously? If you can handle these trivial matters, do so. If you can't, then ask His Majesty to find someone else to handle them."

Sheng Mingyu also rolled his eyes and almost pointed at his nose and cursed at him.

There are not many people who dare to have any evil intentions towards me. This governor is really brave.

"I know I was wrong. Don't be angry, I was forced to do this. I'll take you back first."

He was not afraid of Gu Yunni losing her temper, but not Sheng Mingyu.

I heard that when this gentleman loses his temper, he might hit people at best and kill them at worst.

Nothing unexpected happened in the next few days; those little brats were quite trustworthy.

Without any ghost cries, the people's hearts gradually calmed down.

Sheng Mingyu took Gu Yunni out of the house in the morning.

"Let's go to the river and check out the dam today, shall we? Even though the people who are coming later haven't arrived yet, we should still keep an eye on the dam's condition."

"I see the dam is in pretty good condition. It should be fine for another year. But aren't we being too hasty in transporting the sand and rocks to the surrounding areas?"

Originally, Gu Yunni came here to watch the fun, but when she really saw the actual situation, she became a little worried.

"If I'm not mistaken, the imperial court spends a lot of money in Jiangnan every year, all squandered by these gentlemen. The dam isn't a big problem, so how much money do they swallow every year?"

There was a question in her tone.

I have always known that the ministers in the court do not do any practical work and only know how to take advantage of others. I didn't expect them to be so shameless.

No wonder the imperial court is in dire need of money. With so much money being squeezed out, who wouldn’t be short of money?

"But this has long been a secret rule. Even if Your Majesty wanted to stop it, he couldn't. That's why you pushed the matter into my hands. It would be better to let me take advantage of it so that the benefits don't go to outsiders."

Sheng Mingyu also spoke with regret.

I often lead troops in battle and know the situation in the army.

If I were not a general, I would have a hard time distributing food and wages.

But what about looking at Jiangnan again?

The country is prosperous every year, and many ministers are making money here.

"So there's no way to change that?"

Looking at the rushing river below, Gu Yunni was very confused.

"Of course there's no way. How can I change a fact that even His Majesty can't change? Although I have this intention, it can't be accomplished in a short time."

Sheng Mingyu smiled helplessly and rubbed Gu Yunni's forehead with a doting look in his eyes.

When he became omnipotent in her eyes, should he be happy or sad?

"Don't worry, things will change sooner or later. This prince will definitely not let so many ministers continue to extort money. With this money, the soldiers can have enough food to eat."

His eyes were firm, which made Gu Yunni's blood boil.

Although I don’t know whether this can be accomplished, it is better to have hope in my heart than to do nothing.

And according to his fate, he might actually be able to accomplish it.

"Hey! What are you two doing?"

The two were quietly holding hands when a shout came from the riverside, which frightened them so much that they quickly let go of each other's hands.

I also felt puzzled. Who dared to be so rude?

"Why do I seem to hear the Imperial Master's voice? He shouldn't be here so soon. The letter was only sent a few days ago. Could he have come as soon as we left Kyoto?"

"It should be the Imperial Master. Let's go back and take a look." Sheng Mingyu frowned.

This kid always ruins their own plans. When they turned around, they saw the national teacher standing not far away, waving at them.

But he looked very tired and had not shaved for several days.

Seeing this scene, Sheng Mingyu and Gu Yunni did not dare to delay, fearing that something unexpected might happen in Kyoto, and hurried over.

"Why did you come here so suddenly? Didn't I send you a letter before I left? If there's anything happening in Kyoto, please contact me immediately. You must also hold the camp over there. If you come here in such a hurry, will someone take advantage of you?"

Sheng Mingyu frowned and spoke in a serious tone.

According to his plan, no accident should happen in Kyoto so soon.

But looking at the look on the Imperial Master's face, he began to doubt his own judgment.

"It was His Majesty who sent me here. You had just left a few days ago, and His Majesty prepared a large group of people and things and asked me to come along with the carriage. I was in a hurry, so I ran ahead."

When this matter was mentioned, the Imperial Master became very angry. He should have been living a life of luxury in Kyoto.

It was because of Sheng Mingyu and Gu Yunni that I suffered so much injustice.

These two men left without saying a word, leaving me to suffer with them.

"However, the scenery along the way is indeed beautiful, but I have limited money. I need to find someone to cook a meal for me! I'm starving!"

After complaining, the national teacher turned around and praised.

He had hoped to catch up with the two, but the scenery along the way kept slowing him down and he couldn't run fast at all.

The two looked at each other, feeling helpless.

"Can't you just have the guards deliver a letter?"

"It's okay. Since I'm here now, I'll definitely send you a message next time I have the chance."

The national teacher suddenly realized.

Without wasting any more time, they hurried back to the mansion and prepared a large table of dishes for the imperial teacher.

He ate so voraciously that Gu Yunni twitched her lips beside him.

"You are the Imperial Master. Even if you are short of money, you shouldn't be this short. It's really embarrassing."

Gu Yunni's face was filled with disgust, and she suddenly didn't want to be friends with this person anymore.

"What do you know? My body is in disarray, my mind is intact. As long as I can survive, that's all I need. When Your Majesty exiled me to the border, I lived an even more miserable life than I do now."

The national teacher didn't care much.

What hard times have we not experienced?

"Alright, alright, tell me what's going on in Jiangnan. I received a letter from the governor on my way here, but it didn't explain everything clearly. Please tell me in detail."
