Wait, a favor.
Ye Muyu seemed to understand something.
As expected, Chu Heng said, "The county magistrate is not stupid. Rather than asking the Xie family to fork out some silver, he would rather make Xie Yu owe him a favor."
"Xie Yu wouldn't want the Xie family to owe the county magistrate a favor."
"So, in order to reduce expenses, the county magistrate charged a single coin as an entrance fee. It wouldn't be too expensive and cause criticism from the people, and he wouldn't have to pay silver."
"If Xie Yu had discussed with the county magistrate and said that the Xie family owed this favor, I'm afraid there wouldn't have been a matter of collecting the city entrance fees."
Ye Muyu understood. The county magistrate felt that Xie Yu's personal favor was not enough for the county magistrate to pay for it himself.
"Is the Soft Fragrance Cake ready?"
