Chapter 588: Carefully consider the good rules and seek the scale, at the same time, the city is prosperous and the people are at peace

At this moment, Zhixue raised her hand to signal, and the music stopped at the right time.

With a smile on her face, she said to everyone present in a clear voice: "Everyone in Fenghua City, thank you for coming to the Tingzuo Studio. The Tingzuo Studio welcomes you." As soon as she finished speaking, there was a warm applause at the scene.

Zhili also smiled brightly and said, "Thank you all for coming to listen to the performance of Zhixue and I. However, as everyone knows, our names are not our real names. Next, Zhixue may want to say something from her heart to everyone to express her gratitude."

Everyone focused their attention on Zhixue and fell silent.

Zhixue cleared her throat and began to speak slowly.

Everyone held their breath, their faces full of concentration and showing great respect.

Zhixue said calmly: "My real name is not Zhixue, but Liaoxue."

When everyone heard the word "了", they all showed expressions of sudden enlightenment, and it was obvious that they all knew her background.

Liao Xue continued, "As everyone knows, the Liao family may have committed suicide in their previous life or in some previous time and space, so they took the surname Liao in this life."

Everyone listened and nodded, without a trace of pity or ridicule on their faces, but more of understanding and respect in their eyes.

The atmosphere at the scene was quiet and solemn, as if everyone was carefully feeling the stories and emotions in Liaoxue's words.

Liaoxue paused, as if organizing her thoughts, and prepared to continue telling the unknown past.

"I am very grateful to my brother. He has worked very hard for my brother and me to live here. He has been working very hard." Liao Xue said with deep affection. Then, Liao Xue's brother Liao Sheng walked onto the stage.

Everyone was quite familiar with Liao Sheng. After all, Liao Sheng had been working in Wanhuang Pavilion and had accumulated many old customers.

Many members of the Greed Tribe switched to the Eldar Tribe and gained eternal life through Liao Sheng.

As soon as they came on stage, the audience burst into warm applause, and everyone cheered for the brother and sister without hesitation.

"Hehe, thank you everyone." Liaoxue said with a smile, raising the corners of her mouth.

He nodded slightly and said, "Thank you, everyone. To be honest, we are really lucky that Fenghua City is now so peaceful and prosperous, and even Shenxie Pavilion has been completely renovated."

"Yes, we never dared to imagine before that we could perform openly in Shenxie Pavilion, do what we love smoothly, play music, and convey the emotions brought by music to everyone." Liaoxue was full of emotion, with excitement shining in her eyes.

After saying this, Liaoxue solemnly bowed deeply to the people in the audience, and Liaosheng also hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

In an instant, thunderous applause resounded throughout the "Listening Room" again.

Everyone's eyes were full of admiration and encouragement. At this moment, the barriers and prejudices between the spirit race and the greedy race in the past seemed to have quietly melted away in this warm atmosphere. All that remained were sincere blessings to the brother and sister, and full expectations for the bright future of Fenghua City.

At this time Xiang Zhu extended his hand to Ajing.

Ajing was a little confused for a moment, not knowing what Xiang Zhu wanted to do, but he subconsciously placed his hand in Xiang Zhu's palm.

Xiang Zhu gently held Ajing's hand and walked out slowly with her. Both of them moved very gently, as if they were afraid to destroy the warm and beautiful atmosphere in the listening room.

When Hua Nuan'er saw Xiang Zhu and A Jing leaving, she took off her sunglasses, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.

Then, she took Mo Banhe's hand and said softly, "Let's go too." Mo Banhe nodded gently, and the two walked out of the listening room together.

After walking out of the listening room, Ajing felt that his mood was completely different from before.

Xiang Zhu, as if he had a clear goal, took Ajing with steady steps to a newly opened cat shop in Fenghua City.

As soon as Ajing entered the museum, many cute little cats of different appearances appeared before his eyes.

The cats were either strolling leisurely on the ground, or lying lazily on the mat, or playing and fighting with each other. Their furry figures made people happy.

A Jing's eyes lit up instantly, and the previous doubts and entanglements seemed to be dispelled by these cute little guys at this moment. "Have you fed the cat?" Xiang Zhu turned his head and asked A Jing while gently stroking the soft fur of a kitten beside him.

Ah Jing looked puzzled and slightly surprised as she answered, "Of course I did." Then she added, "Have you lost your memory?"

Ajing thought to himself that he had fed cats many times, and with Xiang Zhu. In different time and space, they had fed many cats together.

At this time, Xiang Zhu continued to ask: "What about feeding the cat? If you want to change the cat food for this cat, what should you do? Change one thing today and another thing tomorrow?"

Ah Jing said quickly, "Of course not. The cat will get diarrhea if it does that, and it has too many hidden dangers. Cats are not like humans. They will eat the same thing today and the same thing tomorrow."

After hearing this, Xiang Zhu nodded slightly.

Suddenly, Ajing seemed to understand something, and suddenly he said with enlightenment: "Oh, you mean..." Ajing thought for a long time, and then said, "Hey, the example you gave is not appropriate, but it is easy to understand."

Xiang Zhu looked at Ajing's reaction and suddenly laughed. He continued to stroke the kitten in his hand.

Ajing went on to say, "You mean, these two tribes, well, the Ling tribe and the Greedy tribe are all human beings. You mean the spiritual fruit tea that everyone drinks, and things like the phoenix silk flower, these are like cat food. If you want everyone to accept it, you may let them try the spiritual fruit tea first, but you will also slowly let them change their taste. What's important is everyone themselves, not to change everyone at once, which may make it difficult for the Greedy tribe to accept, right? Well, anyway, I think my expression now is not quite appropriate." Ajing scratched his head embarrassedly, but his eyes revealed an excitement about what he had just realized.

"Transparent, very transparent." Xiang Zhu praised Ajing generously with a smile on his face.

Seeing this, Ah Jing was obviously a little helpless. He rolled his eyes and said angrily, "Why don't you just say it directly? Why go around in such a big circle?"

Xiang Zhu shook his head slightly, still smiling, and said, "That's boring. If I tell you some truths directly, you might forget them the moment you turn around. It's better to let you figure it out slowly so that you can have a deep impression. Besides, there are some things that I can't force you to learn."

As Ajing listened to Xiang Zhu's explanation, he narrowed his eyes and tilted his head slightly, as if he was savoring his words.

After a while, she snorted and said, "Okay, you are right. But could you please not be so roundabout next time? My brain is slow and I'm tired." As she spoke, she reached out and touched the head of a kitten next to her. The kitten squinted its eyes comfortably and purred softly.

Xiang Zhu looked at the interaction between A Jing and the kitten, his eyes full of tenderness, and said, "Okay, okay, we'll see. But you're already amazing to have figured it out so quickly today."

After hearing the compliment, Ajing couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth a little. Although he didn't refute it, he was still very happy in his heart.

The two of them continued to discuss matters concerning the Eldar and Greedy tribes while teasing the cat. The atmosphere was relaxed and harmonious.

Before they knew it, the sun was setting in the west, and soft light was pouring in through the windows of the cat house. Both Ajing and Xiangzhu were feeling a little tired.

They walked together to the sink in the cattery, picked up the soap, and helped each other wash their hands.

Ah Jing gently held Xiang Zhu's hand and rubbed it carefully, saying, "I feel like you've been quite free lately."

Xiang Zhu shook his head lightly and said helplessly: "I am not idle at all. In fact, I have a lot of things to think about. For example, the allocation of materials in Fenghua City, and how should we reform the tax burden to reduce the living pressure of the people in Fenghua City?" Then, he looked at A Jing with interest, "Let me ask you a question."

"Ah? You're still testing me now?" Ajing said in surprise, with a helpless look on his face.

Xiang Zhu looked at A Jing and said seriously, "You have to take the test. You have to take the test. We have to be aware of being the city lord and manager at all times. Fenghua City is still a small city, and there will be a lot of responsibilities on your shoulders in the future."

Ah Jing said helplessly: "Okay, tell me, I'll see if I can answer it."

Xiang Zhu then asked: "Then how can we reduce the tax burden on the people in Fenghua City?"

"The pressure of life and taxes...why don't you just not collect taxes?" Ajing suddenly had an idea and expressed his thoughts.

Xiang Zhu shook his head again and explained patiently: "This tax burden is not because of lack of money. You know I am not short of money."

"I know, I know." Ajing said with a smile, "I know you are not short of money. But if you are not short of money, why do you still have to collect taxes? There must be other reasons." She tilted her head, a hint of curiosity in her eyes, waiting for Xiang Zhu's answer.

Xiang Zhu looked at A Jing's puzzled expression, smiled, and said, "Taxes are not just for collecting money, they are also related to the operation and development of the entire Fenghua City. Reasonable taxes can be used to build cities, provide public services, and make people's lives better. But if the taxes are too heavy, it will increase the burden on the people. So, we have to find a balance."

Ah Jing listened to Xiang Zhu's explanation, frowned slightly, and fell into thought. After a while, she raised her head and said, "It sounds complicated. So how do we find this balance point?"
