Li Xiu followed her, inspecting the granary, the treasury, and the armory one after another.
The granary was piled high with grain, the treasury contained crates of silver and strings of copper coins, and the armory held neatly stacked longspears, sabers and swords, bows and arrows, and leather armor.
At every location, Li Xiu carefully inquired about the inventory counts and storage conditions, having his accompanying personnel record each detail.
Returning to the main hall of the county office, Li Xiu instructed Li Mingda to immediately begin sending trusted men to take over every key department of the office, replacing everyone from the warehouse guards to the clerks with their own people.
"Brother Xiu, everything has been arranged, not even a drop of water could leak through!" The man quickly returned to report, a look of excitement on his face.
"Mm." Li Xiu nodded and patted his shoulder. "Go tend to your business first; Madame Peng and I still have some matters to discuss."
