After Governor Cao returned home, he drafted a notice and posted it immediately.

There is one in front of the government office and in several places on the streets of Xicheng.

Even Dongcheng has two posters.

Some people from East City also have houses in West City. Although they live in East City now, they should still participate in the affairs of West City.

When registering and measuring a few days ago, many people had discussed what this was for, and some even asked someone to find their acquaintances in the government to inquire.

However, the news was kept secret, and Governor Cao only told Cui Chong. No one else knew about it until they saw the notice.

When registering in the first place, some people were annoyed and unwilling to cooperate, thinking that they would not live there anyway and it didn't matter.

But now there is a notice that the west of the city is going to be renovated, and the old house can be exchanged for a new one. If you don’t want to exchange for a new one, you can exchange it for silver.

For a moment, the whole city was shaken.

The poor people in West City felt like they were hit by a pie in the sky and they couldn't believe it, it was actually true.

Can I move to a new house without spending any money?

Although the new house is smaller than the old one, it is still new.

Many of them were unable to live in their new homes until they died.

Now that there is such an opportunity, what does it matter if it is smaller?

Some can move to a new house, some can get some silver when they move to a new house, and some want to move to a bigger new house, which requires some additional silver.

There are various situations, and each household is different.

They were unsure for a moment, so they went to ask the bailiff in charge.

At first they were noisy, but later they followed the instructions of the yamen runners, lined up according to the first-come-first-served system, and asked questions.

Although there were many people at the scene and it was noisy, the order was much better.

They also found that no matter how different the questions they asked were, the yamen runners had a thick booklet in their hands and the answers to their questions could be found in the booklet.

The people then truly realized that the government had done exhaustive and solid work, and had gained a thorough understanding of Xicheng, which was why they were able to achieve this.

Not only the common people were surprised, but also the yamen runners themselves.

They were also very nervous when they first arrived, as it was the first time they had done such a thing. But they remembered that before they came, Governor Cao had repeatedly reminded them not to be nervous or panic, and to follow the agreed steps and they would not go wrong.

When people asked questions, I would look for the answers in the booklet. The first two pages were indexed and the answers were there so you could find them just by flipping through them.

It's really amazing.

The reactions of most of the poor people in West City were positive. After all, for them, this was a great thing, something they had picked up for free, so there was no reason for them not to agree. They were afraid that if they agreed too slowly, the government would go back on its word.

There are also some people who like to take advantage, or whose family originally had two houses, one for their parents and one for themselves. When their parents are not around, the house is empty, or it belongs to a relative. They found it troublesome and refused to cooperate during the registration process. Now that they know there are benefits, they want to get it back.

There are also some who have already moved to Dongcheng District and didn't take it seriously at first, but now that the reconstruction is required, they have come back to ask for compensation.

Both situations were serious, but fortunately Yan Ruyu had anticipated them and had given instructions in the booklet.

Both types of people were assigned to another office for registration arrangements.

There is another type of people who don’t have a house in Xicheng, but hear about this good thing and want to buy a house or a shop in Xicheng.

The Qiu family belongs to this category.

The old man of the Qiu family had no property in West City and originally looked down upon it. However, with the current situation and his keen sense of business, he soon realized that the transformation of West City was related to border trade.

The bulk of the Qiu family's current business is focused on border trade. No one was optimistic about it at first, so he let Mr. Qiu San go.

Who would have thought that the originally chaotic border would gradually improve under the governance of Zhennan King Huo Changhe, especially in the past two years, it has become peaceful and stable.

Border trade also became increasingly prosperous, and the Qiu family made a lot of money because of it. The status of the third master of the Qiu family also rose.

He didn't know how angry he was behind his back.

He also wanted to secretly place his own people, but the third master of the Qiu family was not an easy person to deal with, and he soon eliminated them all without exception.

But today news came that Qiu Laosan was dead!

Mr. Qiu was shocked. He was in disbelief, but also secretly happy.

He immediately sent people to Shencheng to check out the situation and asked his confidants to take charge of the affairs there.

The third son of the Qiu family also has children, but they are still young and there is no need to worry about them. As for the others, no matter how capable they are, they are just servants.

As soon as the people here left, he heard about the notice. He immediately decided to buy a shop here, so that both Shencheng and Youcheng would flourish.

Although he doesn't have a house in West City, he has money.

He immediately ordered people to shout in the street that he was willing to buy the old house at a high price, which was higher than the price offered by the government.

With this money, you can go to Dongcheng and buy a house immediately.

The Qiu family's master said, "As long as you are willing, I will order someone to take you to the brokerage office to help you choose a house, pay the money, and handle the formalities. I can assist you throughout the process."

These conditions are quite good, and many people are tempted.

The renovation of West City will also take time. If we sell it to the Qiu family now, they can move into a new house right away, and it’s in East City.

There are still differences between West City and East City.

Soon, a lot of people gathered on his side and blocked the road.

When several yamen runners saw this situation, they were all unhappy. This man didn't have a house here, but he came here to cause trouble.

They were flipping through the booklet, trying to see if this situation was listed in the booklet, when Yan Ruyu and Governor Cao arrived, accompanied by a man who was the manager of the Qian family's money shop.

When the bailiffs saw this, they knew what was going on and hurried forward to explain the situation.

When the elder of the Qiu family saw Governor Cao and Yan Ruyu, he also greeted them with a smile.

"Master Cao, Princess, I, Qiu, am a humble person, but I would also like to set up some business here. Is that against the rules?"

Governor Cao was not very happy. To say that it was breaking the rules was not the case. There was no way to stop people from doing business.

But this matter has just begun, and it is indeed a bit unkind for the Qiu family to do this.

Governor Cao said nothing and glanced at Yan Ruyu.

Yan Ruyu said calmly: "Mr. Qiu is wealthy and generous, and he is generous in doing business. This princess admires him."

The Qiu family still remembered what Aunt Su had done before, and the Qiu family had lost a lot of money. When Mr. Qiu heard this, he couldn't help but look embarrassed.

"Princess, you are too kind. This is a small business, relying on my reputation over the years."

"If you haven't broken the rules, then I'll go over and buy some. Everyone is still waiting for me."

Yan Ruyu nodded: "Please go ahead."

Uncle Qiu turned around and went to buy another house.

Of course, he didn't buy blindly. He picked houses facing the street that could be used as shops in the future.

A residential house would be meaningless.

Governor Cao was not very happy when he saw him surrounded by so many people.

"Princess, isn't this allowing him to take advantage of the situation? If other people follow suit, then in the future, won't West City become the world of the rich again?"
