"Thank you, Princess!"
Mr. Wang hurriedly and obsequiously thanked the princess.
The other bosses couldn't bear to look at Boss Wang's worthless appearance.
They wanted to make fun of him, but then it was their turn.
Lin Yuxin spent the afternoon in a meeting with them, and before they left, she handed them over all seven or eight copies of the proposal.
Lin Yuxin didn't make things difficult for them. She just told them to think it over carefully. If they agreed to her arrangements, she would work hard to improve the entire street. If they didn't agree, they wouldn't be able to enjoy the benefits of Chunxi Street in the future.
Several bosses with ulterior motives changed their expressions. They couldn't afford to lose these benefits, but they didn't dare to take the risk.
So for a moment I hesitated.
After Lin Yuxin saw them off, she asked Zhao Yi to find Wang Feng and the other officials. It was time to put them to use.
"Did the princess summon us?"
Wang Feng looked at Lin Yuxin nervously and asked.
"Yes, didn't I say before that I had new arrangements? Well, my new ideas have already begun to be implemented. I want to reorganize Jibei City, so I need you to go out and supervise the work."
Lin Yuxin sat in the chair and looked at the adults opposite her who had been tanned. These past few days, they had been swimming in the fields whenever they had free time, and they had actually gotten a bit fairer!
This made Lin Yuxin very dissatisfied; it seemed she hadn't given them enough tasks.
"Rectification? What does the princess mean?"
Shao Chongshan looked at Lin Yuxin with a puzzled expression and asked, "What is meant by rectification?"
"The rectification means to reorganize the entire North City and restore it to its former liveliness."
Lin Yuxin raised an eyebrow and gave a brief explanation.
"What does the princess intend to do?"
Wang Feng frowned and asked, a sense of foreboding creeping over him.
"Let's build a commercial street first, and then we'll see how things go."
Lin Yuxin didn't elaborate, as she didn't think these people would understand.
"Princess, this is a waste of resources and manpower. The people of the northern city haven't even had enough to eat yet, and you want to carry out some reforms and build a commercial street?"
"Princess, you are a woman after all. Don't you know that the people are living in dire straits? This reform requires money. Where will the money come from? The national treasury is empty. The Ministry of Revenue is always complaining about being poor. Do you think the Emperor will agree to this?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Feng felt he had finally caught Lin Yuxin red-handed and began to launch a barrage of attacks at her.
Haha, he can finally redeem himself!
“That’s right, Princess. If the Emperor finds out you’re doing this, he will be furious.”
Gu Qing also strongly disagreed with what the princess did.
"That's right! Princess, you should think more about the people!"
Several people took turns advising Lin Yuxin against doing these things, saying it was a waste of time and money and shouldn't be done.
Lin Yuxin rested her chin on her hand and quietly watched the group talk for half an hour.
She then patted the table, making a sound.
The voice wasn't loud, but everyone heard it and immediately shut their mouths. Looking at Lin Yuxin's expressionless face, their hearts skipped a beat.
Oh no, they got too carried away and forgot that she's a female demon who holds grudges. What if she retaliates against them?
"Have the gentlemen finished speaking?"
Lin Yuxin's voice was cold and devoid of any emotion.
But the more Lin Yuxin acted this way, the more uncertain the officials became. Finally, it was Lord Wang who spoke up in a grand and dignified manner:
"Princess, please don't be angry. We officials were only acting in the best interests of the people, which is why we were a bit hasty and spoke without thinking. But we were doing it for the good of the people and for your sake!"
"Really? Then this princess should thank you."
Lin Yuxin raised an eyebrow after hearing his words and asked.
"Your Highness, you're too kind! No need!"
Lu Feng waved his hand awkwardly and quickly smiled.
"It seems you gentlemen still haven't learned your lesson and think I, the princess, am so easy to bully? You say I'm wasting people's money and resources? Whose people are being wasted, and whose resources are being squandered?"
"Did you all see the Emperor allocate silver to me? Or did you see that commoner die from exhaustion? Are you doing this for my own good? Oh! I understand. You gentlemen are planning to contribute silver to help me? How much?"
Lin Yuxin's series of questions left the officials speechless. They had indeed not seen the Emperor send money to the princess, nor had they seen the people of Jibei City die from exhaustion. Their reasoning was untenable.
On top of that, we have to make them pay! How can that be? They ran out of money before they even entered the city.
Wang Feng was not so easily appeased. This time, he was determined to make the princess suffer a loss, and he had always felt that the princess's idea was unrealistic.
“Princess, this matter hasn’t even started yet, so there haven’t been any losses or problems among the people, but that doesn’t mean your idea is correct!”
"The people have finally calmed down, what's the point of this commercial street? There are only half the people left, who will come to buy things? Princess, give up!"
Wang Feng appealed to his emotions and reasoned with him.
If Lin Yuxin hadn't known his true intentions, she would have been swayed by his words.
But who is she? She's lived two lives and has a cheat code, why would she be afraid of him?
Lin Yuxin remained expressionless, stood up, took a few steps forward, coldly looked at the adults, and said:
"I know you all have powerful backers and that you came here for certain purposes. However, I don't mind. As long as you don't interfere with my business, everything else is none of my concern."
"But you gentlemen are making things difficult for me at every turn, so don't blame me for being ruthless. Quyan County is short of a few border guards, and I think you gentlemen are very suitable. I will write a letter to the Prince and ask him to take you all with him."
"So that you may dedicate your lives to the country and the people. When you return to the capital, I will tell the Emperor that you gentlemen sacrificed your lives to save the people. I assure you that the Emperor will treat your families well."
Lin Yuxin finished speaking with a pained expression, as if the adults had really sacrificed themselves.
Lin Yuxin's words made the adults turn pale and break out in a cold sweat! They also came to their senses that this was Beicheng, and for the time being, it was Lin Yuxin's territory.
With the prince's help, and the fact that he's reportedly in Quyan County, if they go there, will they be able to come back alive?
The adults were frightened. Wang Feng forced himself to keep his legs from trembling and looked at Lin Yuxin, who no longer had the arrogance she had shown earlier.
But he still refused to admit defeat, so he stubbornly retorted:
"Princess, am I wrong? Or is Your Highness simply angry and embarrassed?"
"Wang Feng, well done! I just wonder if your master will still save you if you get into trouble here today, given how powerful you are!"
Lin Yuxin stopped wasting time talking to them and asked Zhao Yi to fetch a few things!
Zhao Yi returned shortly afterward, standing right behind Lin Yuxin, carrying several items in his arms.
Lin Yuxin was the first to open the imperial sword, which she had only used once since entering the North City.
When the officials saw the imperial sword, they all pursed their lips, their hearts skipping a beat, wondering what the princess meant.
