Zhu Family Master’s heart stirred: "Then this business, indeed, could be considered."

Lu Family Head frowned: "With raw silk prices plummeting, wouldn’t that cause the sericulture farmers to suffer losses? Could this trigger a peasant revolt?"

It was originally profitable to switch from rice to mulberry cultivation; if the Court pushes this matter resulting in a drastic fall in silk prices, then the sericulture farmers would inevitably be harmed.

Zhu Family Master sneered: "Exactly, that’s why Zhang Tai’a must be made to hit his head and bleed to make him realize that nothing in this world is easy to handle."

Duke Wei stated: "If the Court meddles without understanding the local situation, there’s nothing we can do. If something does happen, it just shows our usefulness, to avoid constant suspicion."

He thought to himself that chaos was also a good thing, weakening the Central apparatus while also seizing the opportunity to demonstrate his own importance, which was beneficial without harm.

Lu Family Master hesitated: "There have already been several slave revolts and peasant revolts in South Zhili, and if the issue of switching from rice to mulberry cultivation exacerbates the tension, I’m afraid the situation in the Southeastern Land will get worse..."

Zhu Family Master said: "It should be thrown into chaos."

Wang Family Head thought that in a chaotic situation, it was easier to stand out and be promoted, and so did not object.

Although Lu Family Head felt this approach was not good, he had grown accustomed to going with the flow and did not object.

Duke Wei was more than eager for chaos to ensue in South Zhili, to divert the old emperor’s attention.

After exchanging information, everyone felt much more at ease.

People like them, having numerous channels for news and large influence, had a clearer vision of the world’s situation. But sometimes, with too much information, they could lose the ability to make decisive decisions, hesitating to look before and after.

In the end, it was mainly about taking one step at a time.

After all, with information at hand, they would deal with things accordingly, and the outcome would not be too bad.

...

...

On the other side, Xu Qing also received a letter from Mr. Liang’s servant sent by his old Teacher.

The letter was blank, but it bore the private seal of his old Teacher. Moreover, Mr. Liang’s servant had come in broad daylight, in a forthright manner.

Naturally, Xu Qing understood Mr. Liang’s intention and had his people warmly entertain Mr. Liang’s servant.

Holding the blank letter, Xu Qing hesitated for a long time before deciding to consult with Xie Quan.

Xie Quan, upon hearing the whole story, smiled and said: "Is Gongming troubled about how to use this letter?"

Xu Qing nodded, "Two heads are better than one. I was just thinking to ask for Teacher’s opinion."

Xie Quan said: "I believe that stillness is better than rash action. Does Gongming agree?"

Xu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, "That’s exactly what I was thinking, but when faced with the situation, I find it hard to make a decision."

"I understand Gongming’s concerns. There’s been too much trouble recently, and any action seems superfluous. It’s best for us to just go ahead and get married first. The most important thing for Gongming right now is to marry Miss Feng Wu and ensure she conceives soon. There’s nothing more important than this!"

He said this with a serious expression.

Xu Qing deeply agreed: "Teacher speaks the truth."

Accomplishing great deeds, most fears having no successor.

For this matter, he was well prepared; he even temporarily halted his Crane Form Skill and Golden Light Spell cultivation, and only dabbled in the Innate Finger, all for conserving his energy, to ensure abundant vitality to carry on his lineage.

Should his life indeed be short-lived, he would at least leave behind offspring in this world, making his existence worthwhile.

However, before that, he had to make thorough preparations.

Fortunately, Feng Wu herself was a disciple of the Annihilation Dao and a Dao Skill expert. With her help, Divine Soul Manifestation would not be difficult, ensuring self-protection in the future.

After Mr. Liang’s servant had been well-fed and cared for, Xu Qing called him over, burned the letter in front of him, and then had someone escort him back to Wuzhong County.

Though the servant was puzzled, he still returned to report.

This move greatly surprised Mr. Liang, who came to hold Xu Qing in even higher esteem.

As a result, he became even more curious about Xu Qing and decided to stay longer here, dispatching people to collect more information.
