Chapter 327 The Prosperity of Wangzhou City
Qin Bingrui and Qin Luoqi obtained new identities and household registrations. They are now real people of Tanzhou and have a large house of their own in Tanzhou.
I never dreamed that this day would come.
This matter should have been resolved earlier, but it seems not too difficult, but it still needs the help of powerful people to solve it easily.
Zhu Jinyou felt mixed emotions when he saw Luo Yu so happy.
"If you wanted an identity, you should have told me clearly at the time and registered your household registration in Jiangzhou directly."
Luo Yu turned his head to look at him and gave him a sinister smile.
"If I had explained it clearly to you at that time, I don't know if I could have saved my life."
"Are you so sure that I'm such an unreasonable person?"
Luo Yu thought about it. She had died three times, but he turned a blind eye and turned a deaf ear to her. It was no different from killing her himself.
Fortunately, she could understand his situation at that time.
She didn't answer, and Zhu Jinyou was too lazy to pursue the matter. Let the past be the past!
After bidding farewell to the Murong family, everyone set off again.
On the way, Eunuch Yao was furious and said sarcastically, "Everyone who needs to rest has rested well, and everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared. Don't delay any further on the road."
March is almost over.
Nothing has been solved and the days are dragging on.
Luo Yu was thinking about going to Wangzhou City. He didn't take a look at it the last time he passed by. This time, he should take a look at the situation in the city and ask Lord Li for an identity for the "Flying Tigers" group of refugees.
How could Qin Bingrui not know what she was thinking? He drove the carriage for several days and nights, and few people had a good meal or drink.
When passing by Wangzhou City, Qin Bingrui saw that the prosperity of the city outside Wangzhou City had already been restored.
I couldn't help but sigh: "I heard that Wangzhou has been hit by disasters for several years. I wonder how the recovery is going now?"
Song Si told Zhu Jinyou what he was saying. Zhu Jinyou waved his hand and said, "In that case, I will go and see what Wangzhou looks like now on behalf of my brother. I'm sure the Emperor and the Empress will be very happy to see the contributions of the Marquis of Qingyang's Mansion."
The words reached Eunuch Yao's ears. Eunuch Yao gritted his teeth, but before he could respond, Qin Bingrui drove the carriage to the other end of the city.
The "Flying Tigers" were naturally excited to return to their homeland. They had done their homework on where to set up the troupe and what shows to perform. If they didn't stop for three or four days, how could they be justified in their hard work?
Kong Tian, a man of great wit, had already found out everything when Qin Bingrui and his cavalry just entered the border of Wangzhou.
Hearing that His Royal Highness Prince Ning and Chief Envoy Yao of the Imperial City Administration were in this team, just hearing about it made me want to join.
He waited at the city gate with a group of yamen runners for several hours. When they finally saw the huge team, A Tian asked his yamen runners to rush into the city to inform Lord Li.
That's right, A Tian has now been promoted to the head of the yamen runners in Wangzhou Prefecture, and this is also due to the contribution of Qin Bingrui and others in suppressing bandits.
Qin Bingrui saw a group of dark-skinned yamen runners standing at the door waiting for him. One of them grinned, his face dark but his teeth white.
"Miss Qin, welcome back to Wangzhou. I'm A Tian."
Qin Bingrui's eyes lit up. The young man was in high spirits, leading the team and standing at the front. It seemed that he had been promoted.
"Ah Tian, that's great! It looks like you've been promoted again. Congratulations!"
A Tian scratched his head embarrassedly, and smiled as he led a group of yamen runners to escort them into the city.
"Miss Qin, you should stay in Wangzhou City for a few days this time!"
"It's hard to say. How is your river excavation project going?"
"It's almost done. All that's left is to fill and repair the last part of the embankment road. Miss Qin, when you have time, I will take you there for a walk myself."
"Okay!"
Xia Liang and Yan Xuan stayed outside the city to arrange the Flying Tigers Circus. After all, the team of lackeys was too shocking, and only if she stayed could she properly command this group of wild animals.
After entering the city, Qin Luoqi insisted on getting off the carriage and said he wanted to walk around. Fang and Bai Lingyi also got off the carriage. This was their first time in Wangzhou City.
Bai Lingyi had listened to Qin Bingrui talk about Sister Luo E's deeds in Wangzhou City. At the time, he felt it was inspiring and touching. But after thinking about it carefully, he felt scared. Sister Luo E had finally escaped from the palace, but dared to use the Queen Mother to make a living for the people. Just thinking about it made him worry for his sister.
At that moment, he and his mother walked on the busy streets. Who could have imagined that Wangzhou City was once littered with corpses and the victims were displaced...
As the sky gradually darkens, the afterglow of dusk gently caresses the bustling Wangzhou City. Everyone's face is tinged with a soft light, making it clear that the day is full of hope.
After Zhu Jinyou's carriage had been going for a while, he asked Song Si to stop the car and got off alone, leaving only Song Si to find the largest inn and book the entire building.
The people of Wangzhou looked at these nobles in gorgeous clothes getting off the carriages and each of them took the initiative to make way for them.
Luo Yu stood by and asked Qin Bingrui to drive the carriage away quickly and not block the way for others.
Qin Bingrui galloped forward, and Song Si followed closely behind.
Seeing that Zhu Jinyou insisted on staying with him, Luo Yu teased him about renting out the entire inn: "Why didn't Your Highness buy a big house in Wangzhou this time?"
"Save some money so you can use it to get married later."
Luo Yu turned his face away and pulled him aside.
After taking a few steps, I heard a girl's voice as clear as a silver bell.
"Miss Bai, are you really returning to Wangzhou?"
The girl was Zhao Qingnan, the youngest daughter of the eldest brother of the Zhao family. She was followed by several servants and led by a dozen young and strong laborers.
Luo Yu walked forward, looked at the person behind her, and asked, "Miss Zhao, why are you here?"
Zhao Qingnan whispered in the ear of the waiter next to him, asking him to go back and inform the Zhao family.
Then he smiled and said, "Miss Bai, I just bought a dozen laborers from the broker. The furniture store is doing so well right now that Third Uncle can't handle it all by himself. My father has taken the goods out of town, and Second Uncle is managing the library, so I had no choice but to pick some people..."
"Oh. How about I follow the girl to the furniture store now?"
"Okay, I'll have my men take the people to the furniture shop outside the city first, and I'll personally take Miss Bai to the furniture store to have a look."
Zhao Qingnan noticed the Bai family mother and son behind Luo Yu, as well as an extremely noble man wearing gorgeous clothes and a jade crown on his head. What kind of combination is this?
Luo Yu knew that she was curious, so he briefly introduced the Bai family mother and son. When he introduced Zhu Jinyou, he didn't expect that this man was so shameless.
"I am Miss Bai's fiancé, Zhu. I have come here specifically to see her property."
Zhao Qingnan's mouth dropped open in disbelief. Could a man and woman who hadn't even married be so intimate? Wasn't it said that many women and men married without ever even meeting each other? Miss Bai was truly a woman of foresight. When she got married, she couldn't be so clueless as to whether her partner was real or not. She wanted to be like Miss Bai, choosing her own fiancé.
Luo Yu knew that the girl was thinking too much, so he took her arm and walked to the front, chatting and laughing with her, and gave her a general understanding of the industries in Wangzhou City.
After everyone returned to the inn, Zhao Laoer, Zhao Laosan and Feng Xiucai immediately went there to report on their work.
After we parted that day, we didn't expect that it would be half a year before we met again.
After hearing about the furniture store, Luo Yu had not yet come to his senses when A Tian came to report and said that the prefect Li was going there.
Lord Li looks much younger in spirit, but you can't say he's young. He's only thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old. The first time he was demoted to Wangzhou, he took over a mess. It's impossible for him not to look a lot older.
When Zhu Jinyou saw Lord Li, he was slightly startled. It turned out that he was demoted to Wangzhou. It seems that it was not too miserable!
Li Wenzhe, the former Minister of Personnel, was a very popular figure in front of the emperor. He was upright and incorruptible, and was always used as a role model by the emperor to regulate other ministers.
However, no one knew when Li Wenzhe had offended the son of a first-rank official, and was reported to the emperor, and was demoted to Wangzhou, a place with a lack of talent.
Zhu Jinyou thought that this person was straightforward and always spoke too confidently, so it would be very difficult for him to climb up the ladder. The fact that he could become the Minister of Personnel at that time already made him look at him with new eyes.
But I didn't expect that if you climb up too easily, you will naturally fall down more easily...
When Lord Li saw His Royal Highness Prince Ning, he was secretly surprised. It turned out that he was really the benefactor behind Miss Qin and Miss Bai.
Li Wenzhe rose from humble beginnings to become a Jinshi (Jinshi) through the imperial examinations, rising to the rank of Third-Rank Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel in just fifteen years. Who wouldn't recognize him? But this Prince Ning was a rather unpredictable figure. He seemed unrefined and unruly, yet the Empress Dowager was particularly fond of him. Rumors circulated that Prince Ning was a dissolute and licentious man, yet he had never been implicated in any extraordinary incidents.
When he saw her today, Li Wenzhe's heart tightened slightly. He thought that the rumor must be true.
