Chapter 93

"Actually, it's not just the Qingmin Order. I can tell you that there are many more decrees issued by the Imperial City, including the buying and selling of houses, the guidance of the people, and even the management of the city!"

"Right, there are also decrees regarding the management of your extraordinary groups. All these have been issued by the Imperial City!" Ji Xuan said to Bu Fan with a serious expression.

Bu Fan looked at Ji Xuan in surprise. How could he not understand that these so-called imperial orders were actually system commands!

And what he was hearing now was the internal system message of the game! Could it be that Ji Xuan was completely unaware?

"How about it, are you surprised to hear me say these things?" Hangzhou Prefect Ji Xuan looked at Bu Fan and said with a light smile.

"Yes, Your Excellency, shouldn't these be forbidden?" Bu Fan asked in confusion.

Ji Xuan smiled slightly and said calmly, "Indeed, these can be considered prohibitions, but they are not absolute prohibitions. In fact, it won't be long before these things are leaked, and then everyone in the world will know."

Bu Fan nodded in understanding, clearly the system would announce these messages after some time, and then the players would know.

"Mr. Bu, let me give you a piece of advice. If you want to achieve something in Hangzhou, remember two things: first, read more books at the library! Second, help more at the Hangzhou Prefecture! I can only say so much. Whether you succeed or not in the future depends on your luck, Young Hero Bu!" Ji Xuan said mysteriously to Bu Fan at this moment.

Originally, he had planned to test Bu Fan, but the transaction Bu Fan mentioned earlier made him suddenly realize that this young man had a courage and wisdom that others lacked! Since that was the case, he might as well make his move early.

When Mr. Zhao saw the clerk of the prefecture personally hand over a silver ticket worth 20,000 taels to Bu Fan, he was stunned.

In fact, not only was Mr. Zhao stunned, but even Cao Li, who was talking to Mr. Zhao, was stunned. He could see clearly that those silver tickets were from the Hangzhou Treasury.

Could it be that this Mr. Bu had a close relationship with the Prefect, or even that he was the Prefect's illegitimate son!

Otherwise, why would the Prefect openly help Bu Fan!

The clerk obviously knew some of the inside story, but since the Prefect had instructed him not to spread the word, he naturally would not disobey the Prefect's orders and tell these two people.

After that, Bu Fan and Mr. Zhao completed the handover of Tianwai Tian Inn by pressing their fingerprints and signing. Once it was done, Bu Fan secretly handed the deed of Tianwai Tian to the clerk, who would naturally take it back to Ji Xuan.

Bu Fan then returned to Tianwai Tian Inn with Mr. Zhao. Subsequently, the innkeeper, waiters, chefs, and a large group of people were gathered by Mr. Zhao, and he introduced their new boss, Bu Fan, to everyone.

Many people hung their heads listlessly, looking at Bu Fan, especially the innkeeper, who was particularly uneasy.

Because no one knew what Bu Fan's preferences were, whether he would replace all of them, but generally speaking, when an inn changed hands, it was natural to replace the old staff with new people trusted by the new owner!

"I know what everyone is worried about, but please rest assured. Everything at Tianwai Tian Inn will remain the same, and all of your positions and benefits will remain unchanged! The daily management will still be handled by Innkeeper Wang! In addition, I announce that from now on, I will take out a portion of the inn's profits each month as a bonus for everyone. The amount will depend on your performance. Those who work hard will naturally receive more, while those who are lazy will receive less."

Bu Fan's words immediately excited everyone present. The anxiety in their hearts turned into excitement at Bu Fan's reassurance.

At any time, money is the most powerful motivator of human desire!

After stabilizing the morale of the inn, Mr. Zhao bid farewell to Bu Fan and left, while Bu Fan, led by Innkeeper Wang, took a tour of Tianwai Tian, getting a general understanding. Finally, he took out 1,000 taels from the remaining 5,000 taels and handed it to Innkeeper Wang as operating capital.

Bu Fan had some ideas for renovating Tianwai Tian Inn, but for now, these things could only be done step by step, and he couldn't rush it!

After dealing with the unexpectedly acquired Tianwai Tian Inn, Bu Fan mounted his horse and headed for Bu Family Village outside the city.

As the saying goes, the closer you get to home, the more nervous you become!

The closer he got to Bu Family Village, the more uneasy Bu Fan felt. He couldn't explain why, as it had only been about a month, and this was just a game, so it shouldn't have such a deep emotional impact, but Bu Fan was inexplicably excited.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

"Knock, knock, knock!"

Bu Fan walked to the front gate and knocked heavily twice. Not long after, the door was opened!

"Hey, Xiao Fan, you're back?" The gatekeeper, seeing Bu Fan, exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, Uncle Han, I'm back!" Bu Fan looked at the surprised Uncle Han, and his unease suddenly disappeared.

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back! You don't know how worried Second Brother was when Miss said you wouldn't be back. He almost went to look for you himself, but Miss talked him out of it! Come in, come in, give the horse to Uncle Han!"

"Alright, thank you, Uncle Han!" Bu Fan responded and handed over the reins.

"Alright, you brat, go on in!" Uncle Han pretended to kick him and scolded with a smile.

But Bu Fan had already nimbly run away and quickly walked into the village.

Along the way, he met many people from the village who knew Bu Fan. Seeing him return, they all greeted him.

Bu Fan responded to each of them and then made his way to Second Uncle's courtyard.

When Bu Fan stepped into the courtyard, he saw a flurry of sword movements. A figure was wielding a long sword, moving like a streak of light, dashing around the courtyard.

Whoosh!

At that moment, a sharp sword qi shot out from the tip of the sword and struck a large rock on one side of the courtyard.

Boom!

The rock instantly shattered into several pieces, scattering in the courtyard!

"Good!"

Bu Fan clapped and said loudly. The person practicing martial arts in the courtyard was Second Uncle.

"Who's there?"

Second Uncle shouted sharply, turned around, and saw that it was Bu Fan standing there.

"Second Uncle, I'm back!" Bu Fan looked at Second Uncle and said emotionally, realizing that he had unconsciously come to regard this virtual character as a family member in his heart!

Second Uncle also walked up to Bu Fan, gently patted his shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!"

But as he spoke, Second Uncle suddenly froze, and his expression became serious!
