Chapter 1356: Chapter 363: Truly My Good Brother

Jiangnan.

There are only a few days left until the New Year, and Yuchi is not directly entering Jiangnan at the moment. Instead, he stands in the sky, overlooking the entire situation in Jiangnan. It has only been a short time since he last returned, and it seems that the place has developed to such an extent?

Wow, did they get all the cultivators to help build Jiangnan? Every day, are there not more than ten thousand residences appearing? It’s like expanding at the speed of a Xufu Town every day, fully utilizing the high mobility of the cultivators!

What’s most astonishing is that a stretch of the ice-covered water surface has been completely broken up, with cultivators processing the frozen river water daily!

They are preventing the river from freezing over, completely bypassing the previously common issue of ice formation, effectively shortening the construction time in Jiangnan in the quickest possible timeframe!

Once Jiangnan’s construction succeeds, then for the surrounding sects, they will certainly become the primary beneficiaries.

So for themselves and their sects, it is certain to take all actions that will benefit the future!

Now the population in Jiangnan has already reached the millions.

The exact number can’t be checked anymore. Not even the Jiangnan Yamen can tell how many people there are in Jiangnan; the chance for detailed statistics has been buried beneath various documents piled on the desks.

The Jiangnan United Commerce Association is even busier, with various families coming to handle matters related to joining the association.

This is inherently complex. To handle it in a short time places high demands on the entire association.

Thus, even though the New Year is merely days away, considering that resolving these matters quickly would make things easier in the coming year, no one in the United Commerce Association is leaving early; rather, they are processing these matters as swiftly as possible.

Besides, there is no need to leave early, as one’s family already resides in Jiangnan, not far from the United Commerce Association.

"Nice, this progressed much faster than I expected. It seems I’m not the only one wanting to achieve this; others want it too. In this concerted effort, the construction progresses smoothly like a natural course."

"At this rate, Jiangnan should be settled by next year."

"For specific details, I could just ask at the yamen."

Yuchi decided.

For now, he decided to make a trip to the Immortal Robe Pavilion.

Mainly because the New Year is approaching, he realized he hasn’t seen them for a long time. With a sense of longing, he planned to gather with them, shop for some New Year’s goods, and then return to the Ascension Gate.

But in the end, he didn’t go in.

Why?

Because he couldn’t get in.

The Immortal Robe Pavilion was surrounded by many cultivators, forming long queues outside.

They aimed to submit their orders before the New Year. Although the pavilion has expanded greatly, the staff is still too few compared to all the cultivators gathered from Jiangnan, leaving no chance for entry due to the busy environment.

Therefore, if Yuchi were to enter, it would inevitably disrupt store operations, so it’s better to wait.

By coming back on the afternoon of New Year’s Eve, there would still be time.

Under these circumstances, plans must change temporarily. For now, visiting the yamen to understand the situation is imperative.

It turned out that the situation at the yamen was equally busy.

So busy that everyone in the yamen tied their garments with strings to prevent tripping while running.

"Uh, why do I feel like I’m just a salted fish?"

"It’s like everything happening in Jiangnan has little to do with me. Everyone else is busy, and I’m just on the sidelines watching."

"Perhaps I should find something to do?"

Embarrassment.

Amidst the awkwardness, he still found the County Magistrate at the yamen, the very same magistrate from Xufu Town. Yuchi had a good relationship with this magistrate, who had gradually strengthened ties with the Jiangnan United Commerce Association, earning Yuchi’s trust.

Seeing Yuchi’s arrival, the magistrate, looking gaunt and frail as if on the brink of death, still managed to smile cheerfully upon seeing Yuchi and quickly said to him, "Chairman Yuchi, we’ve finally managed to catch a break, and we can now merge the surrounding cities into Jiangnan at the fastest speed!"

"It’s much easier than before."

"Now, many from the Imperial Decree Department have joined the effort, so manpower is no longer an issue; in fact, there’s a slight surplus, something we hadn’t expected, leading to a very positive outcome."
