Now the Artisan City of Xiling is gaining momentum, it's the best time to impose taxes for revenue. If any one of them assumed office, the municipal hall's income would at least increase tenfold.
However, Mi Bai seems to have a vendetta against money, eager to spend all the monthly tax revenue, constantly spouting the flawed theory of hiding wealth within the populace.
So people only see Xiling's influence growing, while the municipal hall's income remains unseen.
Thus, "incompetent ruler" has become a behind-the-scenes moniker for Mi Bai.
Yet Mi Bai doesn't mind this at all and continues to govern as per his own ideas.
Respected by some, resented by others.
Sometimes, after hearing too many rumors, even Lu Xuening would remind Mi Bai upon his return home, hoping he would consider the interests of the elders of Red Cloud Mountain more.
It appears that within seemingly stable-developing Xiling, there are indeed hidden surges.
