Since there is space, it is naturally the best to buy it for 0 yuan

The government has already chosen a person to be responsible for managing the Yellow River and changing its course. They have chosen Qu Heyu, a capable minister who has a good reputation and is also a lone minister. He is in charge. He can be said to be an imperial envoy who truly holds the imperial sword.

He came to withdraw money with the budget and project plan. Shen Ruyi really had no negative information about this gentleman. It was either that he was too good at acting or that he was just like that.

Never mind, just give it. Shen Ruyi paid one million taels of silver in the first batch, and will add more intermittently according to needs in the later stage. Anyway, if there is a problem in the middle, it can be recovered from other channels.

Of course, supervision cannot be relaxed. Xia Ran secretly sent two groups of people there in advance, and another group of people will go there with the imperial envoy.

She didn't expect the three waves of people that came over to solve many problems. She just needed to pay attention to those who were eyeing the money and whether the local river workers were paid on time and in full.

But we cannot let others get the benefits because of our own suggestions, while the common people at the bottom of the society have to bear the cost of their lives to complete the construction work. That would be a great sin.

As soon as he finished this matter, Shen Ruyi started to prepare for renting out the shops in the two counties. He not only asked people to promote the business in the counties, but also in Beijing. Anyone who was interested could come and see.

No matter where you are from, as long as you operate legally, do not take shortcuts or rob others, you are welcome.

During the publicity process, those who were well-informed had already received the news that Shen Ruyi was conferred the title of Prince of Ji'an. After all, the government did not publicize it vigorously, but it did not suppress it either.

Shen Ruyi didn't care. Besides, she was too busy to take care of other unimportant things.

Of course, some people had already guessed it was almost correct. After all, renovating a prince's mansion is a big project. As long as you pay close attention, it is not difficult to find it.

Moreover, the construction was abandoned halfway through and a new yard was moved to start the construction. This matter became even more bizarre, and people speculated all kinds of things.

Of course Shen Ruyi didn't know this. With the vigorous publicity from all sides and the not-so-high rent, the street shops in these two counties were all rented out before they were fully built, relying on the actual drawings and planning drawings that had been built.

In order to allow these businesses to achieve economies of scale, Shen Ruyi deliberately divided the streets into districts, concentrating all those selling delicious snacks on one street, those selling clothes, fabrics and jewelry on one street, those selling rice, flour, grain and oil on one street, and those selling seeds, farm tools, vegetables, fruits and all kinds of meat on one street.

Shen Ruyi also specially reserved a part of the space with no rent, which was a bit like the farmers' market in later generations, for the nearby people to buy and sell agricultural products after coming to the city.

As long as you provide proof of household registration, you can come here to sell a few eggs from your own home, or wild fruits and vegetables picked in the mountains, all at no rent.

Places like pawnshops and brothels were not in Shen Ruyi's plan at all, and they are still located in the old city and remain as they were.

In order to create a harmonious and civilized business environment, Shen Ruyi specially asked someone to write a market regulation implementation notice based on the laws of the Dali Dynasty and issued it.

People were sent to the streets to read out the notices so that more people would know what to do if something happened.

Things like short weight, forced buying and selling, bullying the weak, and bribing public officials are all punishable. Of course, if someone discovers a problem and is willing to report it, there will be a reward and personal safety protection.

If someone is taken away with a card by someone or an organization in the process of opening a store, we can directly hold an investigation. All reports will be accepted and a judgment will be made based on the actual facts.

Especially for those ruffians, the notice clearly states that whoever dares to stretch out their claws will have their claws chopped off.

Shen Ruyi's action directly cut off the financial resources of many people, especially those who relied on collecting protection fees as their main business.

So some fearless guys set their sights on Shen Ruyi and Yiren, planning to take action in the dark.

Shen Ruyi found an excuse to ask everyone else to leave, leaving only her and Yiren to wander around the county town.

Until they led these people into a small alley, crippled everyone's legs, and asked the mastermind. Then they followed the trail and entered a gambling house.

After confirming that it was correct, the entire gambling house was wiped out. An ordinary gambler had his leg broken by Yiren, and all the other thugs and the boss in the gambling house, about 20 people, were crippled by Shen Ruyi.

A lot of silver was found, as well as several letters, and some interesting facts were discovered. For example, the gambling house was actually run by the elder brother of County Magistrate Chen's seventh concubine.

Look, isn't it? Here comes the evidence to deal with the county magistrate? According to these people, they helped the county magistrate deal with many things that he couldn't handle.

Shen Ruyi directly tortured them to extract confessions, Yiren took notes, and then asked these people to sign on the spot after the notes were completed.

Given that Shen Ruyi was so ruthless, these people confessed extremely smoothly, without even a wave of hesitation, and confessed everything.

Shen Ruyi tied these people up and hid them in private. Wait and see if anyone else jumps out.

Of course, she sent a message to the government. It wasn't really news, it was just some of her nagging. She told the government everything she had seen and heard that happened here. She also said that the county magistrate here was a bad person and she planned to send them to jail for life. She also expressed that she needed an honest official to come to the rescue and hoped that the government would help find a suitable candidate.

She repeatedly emphasized that they had to send an honest official, and a capable minister, to prevent her from being displeased and sending the other person back to jail.

After receiving the letter, the official was speechless. I knew it, this little thing must be doing something naughty when there was no news for a few days.

Look, it's not worry-free at all, and yet he still wants honest and capable officials. He thinks honest and capable officials are easy to get and he can get them whenever he wants.

As an official, he doesn't use honest and capable officials. Is it because he doesn't like to use them?

Humph! He still lacks capable officials. Fortunately, the imperial examination is about to begin, so he should be able to select a group of people to serve. He is also in urgent need of talents.

The emperor kept humming in his heart, but it didn't stop him from thinking over it in his mind: which beloved minister is suitable to be sent?

At the end of the letter, Shen Ruyi also described in detail what she was planning to do and what she had already done, even explaining the torture she had used to extract a confession.

She also wrote about her vision for the development of this place, "I know that my idea is very naive and childish, and will offend many people, cut off many people's financial resources, and may upset some balances. However, I just want to try and see if I can build a relatively fair and just little world so that people here can live happier and more relaxed. I want to see other people's happy smiles."
