Not long after, an iron house appeared in front of Qian Ruoyu. It was even surrounded by an iron door and had three layers of locks on it.
After seeing this, she nodded with satisfaction. At this time, the people in the yard had already started the finishing work and had begun to clean up the yard.
Seeing such efficiency made her even happier. She pointed to the pile of silver next to her and said to Yan'er.
"Yan'er, move all the silver into the small house later. If you need it, I'll let you come and get it."
"By the way, leave five hundred taels of silver here."
Yan'er nodded quickly, and then began to arrange for everyone to move the silver on the ground.
It took them almost an incense stick of time to move all the silver.
Then everyone was gathered in front of Qian Ruoyu, and she spoke to them.
"Thank you all for building a house for me this time. I'm sorry for wasting several days of your time. It's time to reward you."
"Each of you can take five taels of silver as a reward for your time here. Those who haven't come yet can bring it back to them."
Although everyone knew that the princess was generous, they never expected her to pay five taels of silver at once. You know, even if you work as a handyman in the capital, you can only make half a tael of silver a day.
But now, with the princess, it only takes two or three days to get five taels of silver.
And everyone knew that the princess was not being polite to them on purpose, so they hurried forward and took the silver.
Seeing that no one was polite to her, Qian Ruoyu felt much more relieved. After all, these people helped her renovate the yard in such a short time, so she was naturally very happy.
There were nearly fifty people on the scene, plus those who did not come today, there were actually almost seventy people helping with the project. In this way, more than three hundred taels of silver were spent at once.
When everyone thought about the amount of silver, they all couldn't believe it.
After all, even if it was just to build the wall and the house, the total amount of silver was less than three hundred taels.
Aunt Zhang walked up and said to Qian Ruoyu.
"My queen, isn't your reward a little too generous? It only cost ten taels of silver to build these walls, and the few more houses cost only about fifty taels of silver. You gave out two or three hundred taels of silver in a single reward. Isn't this..."
The other people also showed worried expressions on their faces.
She suddenly remembered that now was not the time to be extravagant in the palace, so she immediately thought of a reason and told everyone in front of her.
"Well... Actually, I saw that you guys have been working hard during this time, so I found a reason to reward you!"
"Besides, since you are all willing to come and help, I will naturally reward you greatly! This silver is actually a little extra from the prince's military budget and is insignificant."
"Just accept them with confidence. These are the best rewards for your hard work!"
After hearing what she said, everyone reluctantly accepted the silver.
But the thought of having such a group of loyal men in the palace made her feel extremely relieved.
With these people around, does the palace still fear any accidents?
Qian Ruoyu said to everyone.
"Okay, okay, you've all worked hard, now go back and have a good rest for the day."
Although everyone nodded, no one planned to rest.
But after they went back, she was thinking about one thing in her mind, which was to form her own cavalry.
She had thought of this as early as when she faced those bandit cavalry in the north of the city. Especially when facing those cavalry, it made her feel that the effect of the cavalry was indeed different!
The cavalry on the battlefield came and went like the wind. Although they were not necessarily needed to fight these bandits, Qian Ruoyu thought that if he had enough soldiers, he could give some to Chu Mobai!
After all, they are married couple, and she had already thought about it. Maybe she could help him in this regard!
She thought to herself that if she wanted to form a cavalry team of a thousand people, it would probably cost at least thirty thousand taels of silver.
This probably includes horses and armor. After thinking about this, Qian Ruoyu did not think it was a difficult task.
After all, money alone is a small matter to her, and she doesn't think that this money will be an obstacle for her.
Therefore, Qian Ruoyu found Luo Shanhai again and wanted to discuss the feasibility of forming a cavalry.
Luo Shanhai was originally working in the government office and had never expected that the princess would suddenly come to see him for such a matter. Naturally, he looked a little amused.
"This...ha, my lady princess!"
"Why are you so concerned about this? We don't need any cavalry to defeat the three bandits. After all, the terrain on the mountain is rugged, so there is no need for cavalry..."
Seeing that Luo Shanhai was still ignorant, Qian Ruoyu thought about it and had to say something naughty.
"Oh, I'm just curious about this matter. Sir Luo, don't you know this too?"
"If you don't know, then forget it. I'll go back and figure it out myself. But I think you must have fought in the battlefield before... Forget it, you should have forgotten it!"
After saying this, she deliberately prepared to get up.
"Wait! Princess!" Luo Shanhai said immediately.
After hearing these words from Luo Shanhai, Qian Ruoyu was immediately certain in his heart that it seemed that his method of provoking had worked.
"This is intolerable... Madam, after all, I, Lao Luo, have fought on the battlefield and killed enemies. How can you say that I have forgotten this matter? How is this possible!"
"Come back now and sit down. I will talk to you and let you know that I have never forgotten these things!"
Qian Ruoyu then came back and sat opposite him.
Luo Shanhai immediately spoke to her incessantly.
"My queen, this cavalry is a great weapon for killing the enemy on the battlefield. Once the battlefield reaches a white-hot level, if we send out the cavalry at this time, it will be able to achieve a surprise victory and completely annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop!"
"And the main function of these cavalrymen is to train them in daily life. Although the basic price of a cavalryman is only thirty taels of silver, it will cost a lot of money to feed the horses and provide the cavalrymen with good food and drink!"
After saying that, Luo Shanhai took a sip of tea.
