"Yingwu, do you have something to say?" Fang Yun asked.

Fang Yingwu replied, "What about the local officials? At the end of March or early April, the medical family will hold the Medical Literary Gathering in Ning'an County. Many Grand Academicians from the medical family and veteran members of the Hanlin Academy will attend. Many of them are fiercely opposed to corruption. If the officials cause trouble at that time and you get labeled as a harsh official, the news spread by the gathering could cause your governance and public reputation to plummet to the Ding grade. Even if you achieve something later, it would be hard to improve your evaluation."

Ao Huang kept nodding. The Medical Literary Gathering is a significant event. Ordinary gatherings happen every year, but this grand meeting, where medical family members from all over the Holy Origin Mainland come voluntarily, is a double-edged sword. If handled well, Fang Yun's rating in medical affairs will greatly improve; if not, the consequences could be severe.

Fang Yun, however, said something seemingly unrelated, "I've already negotiated with the Medical Hall to determine the date of the Medical Literary Gathering."
