The Eternal Beauty of the City of Wealth

After everyone had received their cars, Zixuan ordered everyone to get in and, led by Qijiu, drove towards the villa area.

Inside the carriage, the ministers looked here and touched there in surprise.

Looking outside and then at the drivers maneuvering their vehicles, everyone was deeply shocked.

Oh my God, what kind of person can create such a magical vehicle? It’s incredible, really unbelievable.

Ugh, ugh! At this moment, some ministers began to feel nauseous.

The drivers quickly handed them a plastic bucket with a lid and said, "Sir, if you can't hold it any longer, just vomit in here. Remember, put the lid back on after you're done."

In this way, the ministers, full of curiosity and vomiting, came to the gate of a villa area at the foot of the mountain.

After everyone got off the car, some ministers quickly ran to the corner and vomited again.

Zixuan ordered someone to give each of them a pill, and then everyone started to feel better.

After resting for a cup of tea, everyone was led by Qi Jiu towards the gate of the villa.

The exterior of the entire villa area is also in the style of ancient buildings, and the tall gatehouses are painted with yellow gold paint.

The thick door is vermilion, and rows of brass door nails are nailed on the top of the door.

In the middle of the gatehouse, four big characters were written in black paint: "Fugui Garden".

The villa was surrounded by high walls and four soldiers were guarding the door.

When the soldiers saw Zixuan and the ministers, they quickly saluted and opened the door.

The first thing that catches everyone's eye is four five-story villas, all of which have ancient exteriors.

There is a large open space in front of the villa and a large garden behind it.

The open space of each villa is surrounded by dolomite railings, which is very elegant and beautiful.

Qi Jiu cleared his throat and said loudly, "My Lords, these four villas in front are where four first-rank officials live."

"They are: Left Prime Minister Bo Qu, Right Prime Minister Yi Ke, Left Minister Qi Jiu, and hey, that's me."

"And the Right Prime Minister, Minister One. Please ask these three gentlemen to come and receive the keys to the villa."

Immediately, the three senior officials came to Qi Jiu with a smile and received their keys.

We continued walking forward. The second row was a four-story building with a garden and open space. It was also slightly smaller than the previous four buildings, but its appearance was the same as the previous ones.

Qijiu shouted again, "All the second and third rank gentlemen, come and get your keys!"

Immediately, a large group of people rushed towards him, and after everyone got the key, they all walked towards the last row of villas.

This row of houses is three-story, and its facilities and layout are smaller than the previous two rows.

Qijiu called the last group of people over and said, "Everyone, these are where the fourth, fifth, and sixth rank residents live. Come and get your keys."

"Okay, okay, thank you very much, Prime Minister!"

Everyone took the keys happily.

When Zixuan saw that all the ministers had received their gifts, he led everyone into the sedan chair and returned to the Council Hall.

After Zixuan sat down, all the ministers knelt on the ground and kowtowed, shouting, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the carriage and the room!"

Zixuan looked around at everyone, and without asking them to stand, he said sternly, "My dear ministers, I have already increased your salaries several times."

"Food is also provided free of charge. Vehicles and drivers are also provided for everyone. We also allocate the best housing in Fugui City to you, my dear ministers."

"If you are still not satisfied with all this, and you continue to engage in corruption and bribery, abuse your power for personal gain, and oppress the people."

"If my supervisory bureau finds out, I will never let you off easily!"

After hearing this, everyone shuddered and immediately kowtowed again, shouting, "We dare not do that. In the future, we will definitely abide by the law, care for the people, and will never let the king down!"

"Hmm," Zixuan nodded, raised his hand and said, "Everyone stand up."

"Yes, yes." Zixuan paused and continued, "Also, the house allocated to you is also public property."

"It can only be lived in, not bought or sold. For specific matters, you can go to the Real Estate Bureau to find out for yourself."

"Now that the car has been provided to you, you can send your family members or servants to the driving school in Guicheng to learn driving skills. This will make it easier for your family to use the car."

"I will give you a day off tomorrow. You can move in and live in Fugui Garden."

"In addition, I have assigned a staff member to each of your households to teach you how to use the facilities in the villa."

After hearing this, the ministers knelt down again to express their gratitude. After Zixuan finished explaining these matters, the court meeting was dismissed.

After lunch, she entered the space again and summoned Qi Jiu and Ji Lao Da back with her mind.

As soon as he entered the villa, Qi Jiu excitedly said, "Your Majesty! The commercial streets and residential buildings in Guicheng are all completed!"

Zixuan was also very happy: "Are the villas and residential buildings for rent completed?"

“It’s finished and ready for you to move in anytime!”

"Very good. Please tell the Housing Authority to distribute housing to residents of the city based on population."

"Each household should also be assigned a soldier to teach them how to use the household."

Residents from outside the wealthy city will no longer be given housing, and those who wish to settle in the city must pay rent."

"You guys can decide on the rent as appropriate."

"Also, it's winter now, so it's not suitable for construction."

"From now on, we will arrange for the robots and the soldiers in the city to open up the wasteland and mine."

"We'll try to reclaim all the barren hills and wastelands in the city this winter. It would be best if we could plant crops by next spring."

"Remember to divert river water directly into the canal when clearing land so that every acre of land can be irrigated."

"If the river water can't be diverted there, we can drill a well locally to get water."

"In addition, the issuance of identity cards and household registration books for every resident must also be implemented immediately."

"For those who don't want to join the Fugui City household registration, we will issue them temporary residence permits. They will not receive any benefits."

"If you are willing to join this city and don't have money to pay the rent, you can write an IOU and work in lieu of wages."

"It's OK for them to pay the rent after they earn their wages."

"Okay, my king. There is something I would like to ask you."

"Hehe, Qijiu, why are you calling me an old man?"

"Hehe, my king, in Qijiu's heart, you are just an old man."

Zixuan was speechless. Was Qijiu praising her? Or was he praising her?

"If you have something to say, tell me now!" Zixuan was a little unhappy.

Qi Jiu looked at Zi Xuan's expression and touched the back of his head in confusion: "My king, it's like this."

"When we were acquiring land and houses in Guicheng, some wealthy families refused to cooperate and clashed with our yamen runners."

"Several people were killed or injured. I don't know what to do, so I ask for your guidance, Your Majesty."

"What? How could such a thing happen? Is your compensation unreasonable? Or are you forcing the purchase and seizing the property?"

"Your Majesty, I have investigated and found no such incident. It's just that no matter how much money we offer them, they won't sell it."

"Haha, in my wealthy city, there are actually such unreasonable people."

“If we don’t punish them severely, how can we carry out future work?”

"Qiujiu, I order you to capture a few examples, chop off their heads and display them in public as a warning to others!"

"My lord, take your orders!"
