Chapter 1299 I have good news for you
When Shu Yu heard that he wanted to deal with the Xiao family, she remembered what Xiao Shi had said to her the day before she left.
Political struggles can turn fathers and sons against each other and brothers against each other, let alone a husband and wife who were barely brought together in the first place.
Xiang Weinan chose to stand on the emperor's side from the very beginning. Even if it wasn't for his own sake, he had no choice but to do so for the sake of his family.
It's hard to say how far he and the Xiao family will go in the future.
However, these things were too far removed from her thoughts. Shu Yu shook her head, trying not to think about them, and simply said, "Then I must congratulate Lord Xiang on his promotion. But now that you're gone, I wonder what kind of person the new magistrate is. Nothing I do is as convenient as it is now."
No, she had to think of something else she needed Xiang Weinan for and get it done before he left.
Xiang Weinan himself didn't know who the new county magistrate was; he hadn't received any news yet.
"With your abilities, what can't you accomplish? Besides, there's Meng Yunzheng here. Who can be your match?"
Meng Yunzheng: "You really think highly of us."
Xiang Weinan snorted. Was he looking up to them? He was experiencing it firsthand.
"But don't worry, although I don't know who will be coming, I guess it will be someone conservative and easy to talk to."
Jiangyuan County was poor and chaotic under the previous magistrate's rule, but it gradually improved after Xiang Weinan arrived. He was young, ambitious, and opinionated, and soon began to implement sweeping reforms.
In just one and a half years, Jiangyuan County is now much better than before.
However, some reform measures take a long time to be effective. If the new county magistrate is also radical and his ideas and measures are completely different from his, then Jiangyuan County will inevitably fall into chaos again.
The emperor sent him here not just to bring down the local magistrate and the prefect of Dong'an Prefecture, nor simply to give him more experience; it was for the real development of this area.
Therefore, the successor to the county magistrate will most likely be a moderate and conservative official who only needs to continue Xiang Weinan's reforms.
Shu Yu thought about it and agreed; they would know when the others arrived.
After they finished discussing the matter, she saw that Meng Yunzheng and Xiang Weinan still had things to say, so she didn't linger.
She still needs to figure out a way to get a large quantity of goods from the capital.
After leaving the county government office, Shu Yu didn't go home but went straight out of the city to the workshop.
Da Niu has been staying at the oil press recently. He is currently holding several positions. There is no other way. Shu Yu doesn't have many people she can use. The newcomers are still being observed and it is uncertain whether they can handle things on their own. So she can only ask Da Niu to work harder.
When Shu Yu arrived, he was coming out of there, covered in sweat.
"Ayu, what brings you here so late? It's already afternoon."
"I have something to tell you."
"What's up?" Da Niu wiped his sweat, and the two walked towards Shu Yu's office while talking.
She and Da Niu both have offices here, and they occasionally talk about things here, mainly because it's quiet.
As soon as the two sat down, Yingxi brought them a pot of boiled water and poured them tea.
Da Niu let out a breath. "A Yu, tell me, is there anything you need my help with?"
"I wouldn't say I need to help, but I came to tell you some good news."
"Good news?"
"A letter has arrived from the capital. The palace has taken a liking to our sunflower oil and will be supplying a portion to them."
