It would have been fine if they hadn't had such hope before, but now that hope is right before their eyes, there are still people who want to cut off their opportunities. This is something my uncle can tolerate, but my aunt can't.

So, when Wang Yuan was taking these people on tour, these captured people were occasionally hit with stones, causing them to grimace in pain.

Wang Yuan did not let anyone stop them. These people deserved it.

After walking all the way, these people had countless wounds on their faces and bodies.

The common people only threw stones, and did not throw rotten vegetable leaves or rotten eggs. The food had been eaten long ago and had no chance to rot.

"Sir Wang, the Liaoxi County is ahead." The soldier below came to report.

"Let's go straight there." Wang Yuan said proudly while holding the Ding Qin Sword.

Wang Yuan's actions along the way made countless nobles tremble. They knew that the court was serious and would use tough measures to do this.

Many people retreated. How could their strength compete with the behemoth that was Daqin? It was better not to waste their energy. Conserving their strength was the most important thing.

Following Wang Yuan's inspection, the nobles in various places became much more obedient and no one dared to act recklessly anymore.

The following inspection went much more smoothly. Wang Yuan did not dare to be careless at all. He had to complete the task successfully.

Although his family is very powerful, he also wants to have a chance to show his talents.

Therefore, this matter must be done beautifully to let His Highness see his ability.

His Highness has given him the opportunity, there is no reason for him not to take it.

Returning to Shangjun and looking at the bustling streets, Zhao Qingrui was filled with emotion. It was great! It would be great if every place in Daqin was like this.

These are just thoughts, the population of the Qin Dynasty is still too small.

There are only about 30 million registered people now, most of whom are newborns.

If we want to increase the population rapidly, it will take at least several decades of development.

This matter cannot be rushed, we can only take it slowly.

If we want to increase the population, the system of wives and concubines cannot be abolished for the time being. It’s a headache, a real headache.

She wrote down all these troublesome things in her notebook, and these things could only be put off until later.

"How much money have you raised?" Zhao Qingrui looked at Yuan Shenbai. There were some dark circles under Yuan Shenbai's eyes at this moment. He probably hadn't had a good rest during this period.

Looking at his tired appearance, Zhao Qingrui's conscience suddenly felt a little bit painful.

"Your Highness, more than 200 merchants have expressed their willingness to cooperate, but most of them have not yet decided how much money to invest. We have currently raised 37 million yuan." Yuan Shenbai gave a brief report.

"It's less than 40 million yuan, it's not enough." Zhao Qingrui took a look at the report presented by Yuan Shenbai.

There are only a dozen or so people recorded here who took out money. This amount of money is too little. It is definitely not enough to carry out large-scale construction.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. Many people are willing to cooperate with the court." Yuan Shenbai said seriously. Most of these businessmen are still waiting to see if it is worth it.

What they are waiting for is nothing more than to get more benefits.

"How long will it take to take down all these merchants?" Zhao Qingrui asked.

"It will be soon, at most half a month, they can't wait." Yuan Shenbai smiled. He was not someone to be trifled with, and these people were not the only ones who had money. There was no shortage of rich people in Daqin now.

At worst, we can just replace the people when the time comes. There is no need to fight them to the death.

The money raised so far is enough to invest in the construction of the first batch.

Such a big piece of cake is not something that one person can finish.

While Zhao Qingrui and the others were busy here, two people from Shangjun came to find Yuan Shenbai.

These two people are the managers of the Meng family and the Wang family. The purpose of their coming is to invest.

"Are you sure you want to invest so much?" Yuan Shenbai looked at the two people in front of him in surprise.

"Yes, that's it." The two nodded solemnly.

As he spoke, he asked someone to open the boxes that were brought over. There were more than a dozen boxes filled with gold.

The golden color almost blinded Yuan Shenbai's eyes. This was too much money.

Investing this amount of money into the market will surely lead to soaring prices.

"With so much money, people from the Wang and Meng families have taken it. Is there really no problem?" Yuan Shenbai asked again seriously.

The main reason is that the money is too much, so he has to be cautious.

"Don't worry, Lord Yuan. This is a letter written by my young lady herself. I will give it to His Highness later, and he will know about it. Lord Yuan, please take us to meet His Highness the Crown Prince." Butler Wang said with a smile.

Although he is only middle-aged, he has already taken the position of the Wang family's chief steward, and his abilities are naturally impeccable.

He has a kind smile on his face, which makes people feel good about him.

The other manager, Meng, had a serious expression and looked meticulous, appearing very reliable.

Seeing that both of them brought letters to hand over to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Yuan Shenbai didn't say anything more. Since there was no problem, he would just take the money for now.

With this money, merchants don't have to worry anymore.

Soon, the two arrived at the palace where Zhao Qingrui was resting.

Zhao Qingrui took the letters presented by the two people. One of the letters was written by Meng Yu and the other was written by Wang Xian.

After reading the letter, Zhao Qingrui's smile deepened.

These two girls were so naive that they invested all the money they had and could mobilize from their shops, just because they were worried that she would not have enough money.
