After crossing, I surrounded the capital from the countryside

At night, the moonlight sprinkled like water in front of the window. Xu Qingqing held a thick stack of letters in her hand. These letters were all good news from various Gongfu banks about their successful opening.

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and her eyes sparkled with thought.

"Eh~ As expected, people are herd animals. With a little guidance, they will follow the leader and charge into battle like sheep. Don't you agree, Xu Xiao?"

When Xu Xiao heard what the sect leader said, he looked up in confusion and asked, "Ah?!"

Xu Qingqing smiled and continued, "Look, in the beginning, no one wanted to join our Gongfu Bank? Some even said we were scammers, right?"

Xu Xiao nodded, recalling the original scene, and it was indeed true.

"But once the first and second people choose to believe in us and join us, others will inevitably follow in their footsteps. This is the weakness of human nature."

Xu Qingqing shook her head with emotion and fell into deep thought.

"As long as there is profit, there will always be people who pursue it. If no one participates, it only means that the driving force is not strong enough..."

Xu Xiao was completely confused and had no idea what was going on. She couldn't help but interrupt him and said, "Master, what on earth do you want to say? The more I listen, the more confused I get."

Xu Qingqing raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

She pointed to a secluded corner and whispered, "Do you know the two people over there? Do they look familiar to you?"

Xu Xiao looked in the direction of Xu Qingqing's finger, and his eyes fell on the figure in the corner who was waiting for Xu Xi to give him money.

Suddenly, her eyes widened with astonishment - those were the first two people who entered Gongfu Bank to make deposits today!

Even until this moment, she clearly remembered that these two people had encouraged other people to come together... This was really unbelievable!

"Sect...Sect Master! Could it be...they..." Xu Xixiao was so shocked that he was incoherent, and his worldview seemed to be greatly shaken in an instant.

Looking at Xu Xi's horrified expression, Xu Qingqing smiled slightly and said calmly, "Yes, they are the ones we specially invited."

Xu Xiao widened his eyes, his gaze fixed on the two people who took the money ecstatically, then turned his head to look at Xu Qingqing who was now smiling and full of confidence.

She couldn't help swallowing hard, secretly exclaiming in her heart: "It's so scary... I didn't expect that the sect master is such a shrewd and cunning fox at such a young age! Thinking of the future sect master's husband..."

No, no, no, I can’t think about it anymore. It’s miserable, too miserable…

Thanks to the support and assistance of local authorities, Xu Qingqing's career in the northern Xinjiang region developed more and more smoothly.

Everything was gradually getting back on track. The convenience of banks attracted many merchants to come in, and people, because of their trust in banks, also deposited their family savings into banks.

For a time, the silver circulating in the Northern Frontier market was basically only used for living expenses.

The merchants' money naturally flows directly within the bank with the token of trust, and for the bank it is just a transfer from left hand to right hand.

On this day, Xu Qingqing looked at the people coming and going outside the window. Since the officials were delegated to take their positions one by one, Xu Qingqing distributed the potatoes that were previously strictly controlled by the court to every Lun Xiaoyao for trading.

Xu Qingqing did not collect the money directly. Instead, she chose to let the people who received the potato seeds take out 10% of the potatoes as repayment for their debts after they successfully planted and harvested them.

In this way, the people will not have any extra burden when planting potatoes. They only need to spend a little more time to take care of an acre of land. After the harvest, they will naturally know that Lun Xiaoyao’s promotion of potatoes was not exaggerated.

At this time, people's admiration for Lun Xiaoyao will increase. Xu Qingqing has not only won the hearts of the people but also filled the warehouse, killing two birds with one stone.

Because of the popularity of potatoes, even the lowest class of people could have enough to eat, and the people in northern Xinjiang had more and more smiles on their faces.

Looking at the people with bright smiles, Xu Qingqing couldn't help but think of everyone in Xiaoyao Sect. It was time to go back to the sect to take a look.

Without bringing anyone with her, Xu Qingqing returned to Xiaoyao Sect alone the next morning.

Xu Qingqing realized something was wrong from a distance, as if she had entered a formation? !

Looking at the big rock that had appeared in front of her not long ago, Xu Qingqing tilted her head, her eyes full of confusion?

This formation couldn't be more familiar. Wasn't it Xiao Yuheng who taught her? It was similar to the one she had used in Xiaoyao Sect before.

Xu Qingqing followed the mantra that Xiao Yuheng taught her in her memory and walked out of the formation step by step.

The scene before her eyes made Xu Qingqing's eyes light up.

It turned out that when she was away, everyone in Xiaoyao Sect was also working hard to develop.

Xu Qingqing suddenly had a feeling that, oh, it turns out that she is not the only one working hard, everyone in the Xiaoyao Sect is also working hard.

Unable to put it into words, Xu Qingqing only felt that her inner emotions were extremely surging at the moment!

I saw that the Xiaoyao Sect, which was originally only on the top of the mountain, had now quietly taken over a lot of territory and entered its own territory.

The most intuitive way is: originally the land only consisted of the top of the mountain, but now it is the entire mountain + the open space at the foot of the mountain.

At a glance, all the fields were cultivated and planted with wheat.

The people of Xiaoyao Sect were busy in the fields. There were patrol teams patrolling not far away all the time, and women came in groups to bring food and water to everyone.

The city wall on the hillside has also been completed, winding up along the mountain like a giant dragon lurking among the green hills. It stands there quietly, giving the people of Xiaoyao Sect a full sense of security.

Both sides of the city wall are planted with various plants. They grow particularly lush under the protection of the city wall, adding a bit of vitality and vigor to the city wall.

The mountains in the distance are undulating, and the houses nearby are scattered around. Everything seems so peaceful and harmonious.

"The sect leader is back!" The patrol team members spotted Xu Qingqing with their sharp eyes.

Following his exclamation, the people who were still busy in the fields stood up and looked over here.

Everyone's eyes were filled with joy and excitement when they saw Xu Qingqing.

Xu Qingqing greeted everyone: "Well, come back and take a look."

"The master has grown up!"

"Grown taller too!"

"Master, you see, we are getting better and better now!"

"Master, are you hungry? Come here and eat something!"

"Hey~ The Sect Master must be in a hurry, he should drink some water first!"

Looking at the water and food handed to her, Xu Qingqing took them with a smile.

He first drank two sips of water, then took a big bite of the bun in his hand.

"good to eat!"

Seeing that their young sect leader was enjoying his meal, the people from the Xiaoyao Sect who were around him also laughed happily.

"If it's delicious, eat more! Enough!"
