Chapter 174: Zhennan Pass

Mulan Yue switched off the Alliance channel and went to look for Mu Guiying, telling her about Ouyang Shuo's suggestion.

After hearing what she said, Mu Guiying kept silent and didn't utter a word. Apparently, this was a difficult choice. Based on her original intention, she wished for Mulan Town to be able to run independently. But now because of the lack of funds, the town had been progressing slowly and her time and effort had been diverted, making her unable to focus on the military.

After a long while, she looked towards Mulan Yue. "Xiaoyue, let me ask you, how much do you trust your brother Wuyi? Apart from allies, do you have any other feelings for him?"

Mulan Yue was stunned and didn't understand why she would suddenly ask that. As she trusted her thoroughly, even if she found it weird she would answer adequately. "Brother Wuyi is an ally and also a brother. Although he isn't my real brother, I can feel that he is sincere and real."

Mu Guiying nodded. "Then let me ask you, as for the future of Mulan Town, how do you consider it? Both us and Shanhai County are in the Lianzhou Basin and are bound to face each other one day."

"I don't want to hide it from sister, but I've thought about this problem. Sister, you already know that Father and Mother will be separated from me for a long time so I need to run Mulan Town to make them proud of me when they return. As for the future, merging into Shanhai County would be the best choice. However, before that, I want to use my own ability to run Mulan Town well." Mulan Yue gave such a reply.

"I understand. Since it's like that, I agree to open a branch of Four Seas Bank in Mulan Town. I can also focus more of my energy on the raiders and nurture an elite force for our territory to defend the Zhennan Pass."

Mulan Yue was ecstatic. "Ok, I'll go tell brother Wuyi."

After receiving her reply, Ouyang Shuo got up and went into Yingyu's office.

"Big brother!" Yingyu stood up and invited Ouyang Shuo to sit.

After he sat down, he described the thing about Mulan Town to her and said, "Yingyu, I would like to shift Yang Yun from Beihai Town and send her to Mulan Town. What are your thoughts?"

Cui Yingyu took a moment before smiling. "I think it's okay. She was part of the building of the Four Seas Bank and is clear about how it runs. She also took charge of the Beihai Town branch and accumulated a lot of experience."

"Ok, then send a letter with the authority of the Financial Department for her to return to the main camp. As for the person to replace her, the Financial Department can decide that."

"Understood." Yingyu nodded and asked, "Big brother, on the side of Mulan Town, how much gold are you going to prepare?"

To that question, Ouyang Shuo had a rough draft. "If we prepare too little, it won't do. The first sum will be set at 2000, which is all our spare cash. This sum should be able to last for a while. When it's used up, then we will invest further."

"I agree." Yingyu was from a business family and she was clear that once the bank was settled, it was a money vacuum, the early investment was needed for future returns, and as such, she agreed.

......

At 2 PM, Wang Yuanfeng brought 3 sets of 3 bow arcuballistas and teleported to Fallen Phoenix Town. After sending him off, Ouyang Shuo returned to the lord's manor.

At 4 PM, Yang Yun had returned to Shanhai County and rushed straight back to the lord's office.

After Ouyang Shuo told her about her new appointment, he reminded her. "Mulan Town's lord Mulan Yue is my friend, and this branch opening is a normal business activity. When you are there, you must be neutral and not interfere with their economic matters and not much of their management affairs. Do you understand?"
