The small landlords from wealthy families in Xianyang City had already been executed along with their entire families by the Embroidered Uniform Guards on various charges under the orders of Li Chengqian.

After their land was confiscated, it was distributed to local farmers, allowing the farmers to have their own land and farm with peace of mind.

At the same time, Li Chengqian also strengthened public security in Xianyang City, allowing the people to live in a safe and stable environment.

He implemented a policy of work-for-relief, which allowed unemployed people to get jobs and have income. This not only solved the people's livelihood problems, but also revitalized the economy of Xianyang City.

If Li Chengqian had to talk about his current achievements, he could confidently say that Xianyang is the best city in the entire Tang Dynasty!

The roads throughout Xianyang City were neat and clean, as if they had been washed by water.

Green plants lined both sides of the road, their blossoms and shrubs swaying gently in the breeze, releasing a refreshing fragrance. Public toilets were also built at regular intervals, these clean and hygienic facilities making life easier for the residents.

All roads, regardless of size, were paved with blue bricks and cement, making them durable and smooth and comfortable to walk on. Under his leadership, old and dilapidated houses were demolished and replaced with new units.

For example, the Ministry of Agriculture brings together many talented people who study agriculture, who are committed to improving the yield and quality of crops; in the Ministry of Industry, craftsmen are busy day and night, researching various new processes and technologies; the Finance Department is responsible for managing the financial revenue and expenditure of Xianyang City, ensuring that every penny is spent wisely; the Ministry of Commerce actively promotes the development of commerce, making the market in Xianyang City prosperous.

Although those houses with cultural characteristics were old, Li Chengqian did not demolish them. Instead, he paid for their free repairs, allowing these ancient buildings to shine again and making the entire Xianyang city pleasing to the eye.

Today, for the people of Xianyang City, Li Chengqian is the sky of Xianyang, and he is deeply loved and supported by the people.

Even if Li Chengqian wanted to rebel, the people of Xianyang would not disagree.

In their eyes, Li Chengqian was a sage king! Throughout the dynasties, whose people could live as well as the people of Xianyang?

When the prince recruited soldiers, he paid them five times as much as the court. If a soldier unfortunately died on the battlefield, his family would receive generous pensions, and the soldier's name would be engraved on the martyrs' monument so that future generations would remember their achievements.

In addition, the prince distributed the high-yield grain to the people for free every year, so that every family had surplus food and their lives became better and better.

Apart from a small amount of insignificant taxes, the people had almost no burden.

Moreover, if the people cannot sell their extra grain, the government will be responsible for buying it back at a high price, but there is one condition, which is that it must not be sold outside.

The entire Xianyang City is now in a state where only people can enter and leave. Those who can enter and leave freely are all Li Chengqian's confidants.

"Your Highness, the governor of Xianyang has arrived and is outside the palace. Would you like to summon him?" An attendant reported respectfully to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian nodded: "Let him in, I asked him to come yesterday."

"Yes, Your Highness!" The attendant took the order and left.

"Xianyang Governor Wen Ruchu pays homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. May His Royal Highness live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years!"

Wen Ruchu walked into the hall and immediately knelt down to salute with an extremely respectful attitude.

Li Chengqian looked at Wen Ruchu and smiled warmly, "Governor Wen, you've done a good job. I'll triple your salary at the end of the year. Bring your family and have dinner with me during the New Year. Also, go back and tell everyone else that all other public officials will have their salaries doubled!"

"Thank you, Your Highness. I am overwhelmed!" Wen Ruchu said cautiously, bowing. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes, but he didn't dare to show it too obviously.
