Crescent Moon Town is going to build a new town, and the people are even allowed to exchange their land deeds and house deeds from the old town for houses in the new town!
The news caused a sensation among the people of the entire county as soon as it was released.
"What? This is real? It can really be redeemed?"
"Of course it's true. The people from the Yue Prince's Mansion have already posted notices at the four city gates and on the bulletin boards outside the prefectural and county government offices!"
"Yes! I saw it too, there's even His Highness the King of Yue's seal on it."
“My neighbor’s new wife’s family is from near Crescent Moon Town. She went back to her family home to take a look. Tsk tsk, Crescent Moon Town and more than a dozen surrounding villages and towns have started construction.”
"Are they really going to build a new city? And can we exchange our money for houses to live in there?"
The people rushed out to find out what was going on.
Some clever ones rushed to Crescent Moon Town, only to find that the town had indeed become a large construction site, and they were overjoyed.
Moreover, once they arrived in Crescent Moon Town, those people learned—
The first people to sign a house exchange agreement with the Prince's Mansion will also have priority in purchasing shops in the city and will receive the most favorable discounts.
Limited to 100 companies, first come, first served.
If you arrive late and all the available spots are gone, you'll have to buy the shop at the original price.
The residents of the county seat have two concerns about moving to the new town of Yueya:
First, old houses are hard to sell, and there's no money to buy a new house;
Secondly, if they went to the new city, they might not be able to make a living.
The various policies introduced by the Yue King's Palace directly resolved all their concerns.
No question, just one word—change!
On the third day after the decree was issued by the Yue King's Palace, a large number of people flocked to the area.
They used their land deeds and house deeds to exchange for a new house of the same size.
Those who were the first to trade with the Prince of Yue's Mansion were pleasantly surprised to find that arriving early not only allowed them to buy good shops, but also gave them priority in choosing better locations.
A tall bamboo wall was erected on the open ground outside the Yue King's Mansion.
A huge map hangs on the bamboo wall panel.
This is an aerial view of the new town of Crescent Moon, which is currently undergoing expansion.
The drawings were very detailed.
The Prince's Mansion is located on Zhuque Avenue, the central axis of the city, and borders the East and West Markets.
Four intersecting main roads divide the residential area into four parts, or four blocks.
Each neighborhood has rows of courtyards.
The four neighborhoods were located around the Prince's Mansion.
There are also the East Market and the West Market, located on the east and west sides of the city, respectively.
This is the inner city!
There is an outer city outside the inner city.
The outer city no longer had neighborhoods, but rather a ring of houses that surrounded the inner city.
The steward of the Prince's mansion said that if we arrived late, all the houses in the inner city would be filled, and we would have to stay in the outer city.
Although the outer city is inside the city wall, it is still outside.
If there are rioters or enemy troops attacking the city, the first to be slaughtered after breaching the city walls will be those in the outer city!
"To the inner city! We must go to the inner city!"
The people's hearts burned even brighter.
Those who had originally come to gather information immediately made up their minds upon seeing this scene.
If ordinary people are like this, one can only imagine how the powerful clans are.
They learned of the news immediately and quickly sent people to Crescent Moon Town to investigate.
Xie Yuan did not make any special exceptions for the powerful families.
The land in the new city will not be sold, only exchanged.
If the powerful families want to settle in the new town of Crescent Moon, they must exchange their land deeds from the old town for these deeds.
The powerful clans: ...
They wanted to move to the new town, but they didn't want to give up their land in the old town.
They have money.
Furthermore, these powerful families are accustomed to diversifying their investments and will not easily put all their eggs in one basket.
Yes, now that Hexian County has no soldiers or officers, it looks very unreliable.
But the imperial court wouldn't really ignore Yuezhou.
In a few days, a new governor should arrive.
By then, Hexian County will regain its stability and prosperity.
As for Crescent Moon Town, although it has the Yue King's Mansion, it is still too remote.
And being so close to the sea, Crescent Town would definitely be affected if a hurricane hit.
Of course, Hexian County will also be affected by the hurricane.
However, it is still closer to the inland than Crescent Moon Town.
It would also be more convenient for powerful families to relocate to other states and counties to "avoid the storm".
Unlike Crescent Moon Town, which is located on the very edge of He County.
If you want to go inland, you have to go to He County first, and then you can go to a safer place.
...The heads of powerful families, considering various issues, felt it would be better to purchase properties in both locations.
They went to live on the side that was more powerful and safer.
In this way, no matter what happens, they will still have a way out, a second option.
Xie Yuan: ...You still want to keep a backup plan?
No way!
Xie Yuan wanted the land in the old city, as well as the prosperous new city.
Although those powerful clans did not make up a large percentage of the population, they controlled a lot of territory.
For ordinary people, their homes consist of just a small courtyard.
As for those wealthy families, they often had large courtyards with five or seven courtyards.
With such a large plot of land, the powerful families were unwilling to sell it easily, so Xie Yuan had no choice but to take measures.
"Either move, or stay in the old town!"
Xie Yuan's attitude was very firm.
Helian Jue trusted his princess the most and fully supported all her decisions!
Helian Jue took an even tougher stance against the powerful clans who came to him seeking favors and pleading for his life.
The powerful clans: ...
The King and Queen of Yue were far too domineering.
Unfortunately, they have soldiers and plenty of money.
They wanted to take advantage of the situation, but they didn't even have a chance to act!
Just then, some Liao people dressed in primitive tribal attire suddenly arrived in He County.
