With the capture of the prime minister and others in the capital, the disaster situation in both the north and south was alleviated.
With both the imperial court's disaster relief funds and grain, as well as the two kinds of talismans given by Jing Le, the disasters in both the north and south were resolved.
Now, the people are rebuilding their homes with the imperial envoy, sweeping away the signs of despair.
Although this year's disaster is much more severe than in the past, it has been resolved much more easily than before.
It was as if divine intervention.
Of course, all of this was thanks to Jing Le's help.
They just didn't know it.
Once the post-disaster reconstruction in both the north and south is completed, Yuan Zhengqi and his team should return to the capital to report back.
Let's get back to the capital.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Today is the opening day of Jing Le's shopping mall.
Early in the morning, Jing Le sent Ying San and his group out to do chores.
Jing Le set off with Emperor Jing and Consort Gui, among others.
The shopping mall is located on the west side of the outer city, where most of the residents are ordinary people.
However, because the land was requisitioned by Jing Le, Ying Liu and his men, following Jing Le's instructions, rebuilt houses for the people.
Those with good character will be given priority for jobs in shopping malls.
These people must be trained according to Jing Le's requirements before they can start working.
Jing Le repeatedly marveled at the competence of Ying Liu and his group, saying that as long as she had an idea, they could accomplish it even if it was difficult for them.
Early in the morning, the black cloth outside the mall had been quietly lowered, revealing the unique architecture inside.
Because the place was quite far from the bustling streets, the commotion did not attract much attention.
As the sun rose high in the sky and people passed by on their way to work, they were astonished to see the black cloth already lowered and the enormous house standing there.
"Wow...this house is huge! I've never seen such a big house before."
"Look, the houses are even carved with patterns, they're so lifelike, so beautiful..."
"This building must be at least three stories high. I really want to go inside and take a look."
"I heard from my aunt's nephew's wife's sister-in-law that this place was bought and developed by Princess Anle. When she bought the land, she even built new houses for the people who had occupied the land..."
"It's Princess Anle..."
The chatter, carried by the endless stream of people coming and going, drifted all the way from the outer city to the inner city.
The Ministry of Works' Office, the Department of Works.
What's all this noise in the front yard?
Madam Si put down her teacup and asked the maids and servants beside her.
“Madam, I overheard something when I came in. It seems that Princess Anle built a huge house on the west side of the outer city. It’s three stories high and very large. I heard that it’s different from the houses in Dayong.”
The one who answered was Peach Blossom, the head maidservant of Madam Si.
"Oh, what a special house. We're getting tired of staying in the mansion, let's go out for some fresh air."
Mrs. Si became interested and then said:
"Call the eldest young lady and the second young lady, and tell them that Mother is taking them to the jewelry shop."
Madam Si was a kind and honest stepmother who was not harsh on her illegitimate sons and daughters. This second young lady was the daughter of her aunt.
"Yes, madam."
The head maid immediately went to call for help.
The same scene was playing out in other mansions, where everyone was quite interested in the houses built by Princess Anle.
After all, Princess Anle's name had been widely known among these ladies and young women during this period.
From a lay disciple living under someone else's roof, to the emperor's goddaughter, and finally to a princess of royal blood.
And most importantly, she is currently favored by the emperor.
Among these people were many who wanted to curry favor with Jing Le, and the outer city was a potential breakthrough point.
...
"They're here, they're here! Princess Anle and the others are here."
Amidst the bustling crowd, someone suddenly shouted loudly.
An hour or so has passed since dawn, and Shadow Six and the others have been waiting here for a long time.
The people on both sides of the road waited patiently for Jing Le and his group to arrive.
They awaited Jing Le to unveil the mystery behind this door for them.
The crowd automatically parted to make way, and Jing Le and the others appeared before them.
A white tiger led the way, followed by a carriage.
Now, the white tiger is Jing Le's standard accessory. Wherever there is a white tiger, it can basically confirm Jing Le's identity.
Emperor Jing was traveling incognito, and his concubine was also sitting in the carriage.
The two were dressed simply, no different from an ordinary couple, with Jing Le sitting between them.
They were escorted by Zhao Gan, the commander of the Imperial Guard.
The Third Prince, the Ninth Prince, and Duan Feibai were in the carriage behind.
The carriage traveled all the way to the main entrance of the shopping mall before stopping.
"Greetings, Your Highness! Long live the Princess!"
The people present all knelt down in worship.
Jing Le had no choice but to get up from beside Emperor Jing and step out of the carriage:
"Rise."
Shadow Six and the others also arrived in front of the carriage.
"Princess, everything is ready, we are just waiting for you to unveil it."
A huge plaque has been hung at the entrance of the shopping mall. It was written by Emperor Jing himself and specially made by a master craftsman in the last two days.
The plaque is wrapped in red cloth, awaiting its unveiling.
I wonder what name Father Emperor gave it? It won't be as random as that courtyard, will it?
Jing Le looked up at the wrapped plaque and inwardly complained.
Emperor Jing coughed awkwardly inside the carriage. Could he say that he only used the word "courtyard" because he was too lazy to get up?
The imperial concubine covered her lips and chuckled softly.
He glanced at Emperor Jing beside him with a mocking look, struggling to hold back his laughter.
