After about an incense stick of time, County Magistrate Zheng wrote a notice of over a hundred words.
After drying the ink, he called the two Yang brothers over and said, "Follow Li Erlang and post this notice at the city gate. If any illiterate people come forward to ask about it, read the contents of this notice to them!"
The two men took the notice respectfully and said, "We will do it right away!"
The three of them went outside the city and posted the notice that County Magistrate Zheng had just written.
"Please stay here for a while. I'll go to the market to supervise first!" Li Erlang said to the two brothers of the Yang family.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen here as we are watching over you!" Yang Dalang replied.
These days, because of the construction of a market outside the city, there are a lot of people coming and going in the city. Early in the morning, the people saw two yamen runners posting a notice on the city wall.
Common people are generally afraid of seeing officials, and for a moment they hesitated and did not step forward, intending to wait for the two men to leave before going over to take a look. However, they did not expect that the two men stood there for a long time with no intention of leaving.
Looking at the people standing outside pushing and shoving each other, he didn't dare to go forward for a long time.
Seeing this, Yang Jia Dalang pulled his brother a little further away.
After the two men left, the people came forward curiously: "Hey, what does it say?"
"I don't know, I can't read!"
When Li Yan followed her uncle's family to the dock outside the city, she saw a large group of people gathered under the city wall.
Li Yan said something to Li Dalang and walked towards the crowd alone. She had to listen to the people's reactions.
"Zheng County Magistrate is working for the benefit of the people of Rongcheng!"
"Then, will my lame nephew's family be able to get any help?"
"Then the childless Granny Qian in our village should be able to get help!"
People passing by stood at the posted notices, reluctant to leave.
Some people were very excited after listening to the story, while others were beaming with joy. They wanted to hear more about these good things so that they could tell their families about them when they got home.
Li Yan did not go near, but just stood outside and listened to the excited discussions of the people. It seemed that the rumors of these days were thus refuted.
Li Yan was satisfied and was about to leave when a voice suddenly called out from behind her: "Miss Li, long time no see!"
Li Yan turned around and found Qin Yue standing behind her.
It's true that I haven't seen Qin Yue for some time.
"Mr. Qin, are you here to see this notice as well?" Li Yan asked with a smile.
"I happened to be passing by. Miss Li, would you be willing to come with me to see the progress of the market construction?"
Li Yan had nothing to do, so she nodded and followed Qin Yue towards the market that was under construction.
They hadn't seen each other for a while, and they didn't know what to talk about for a moment. The two of them just walked in silence, one in front and the other behind.
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment, and Li Yan decided to say something.
Unexpectedly, the two of them thought of the same thing and spoke at the same time.
"After the bazaar is built, what kind of shops do you plan to open?"
"What have you been busy with these past two days?"
Li Yan smiled and said, "My mother gave birth to a younger brother and sister for me, so I haven't been out much these past two days!"
Qin Yue couldn't help but be stunned, then smiled and said: "I didn't expect that Auntie would give birth so soon, congratulations!"
Then he answered Li Yan's question, "I'm planning to open an inn. When the caravans arrive here, they'll need a place to stay. This inn is right outside the market. Not only is it very convenient, it can also provide a place for them to socialize. Business should be good then!"
What Li Yan didn't know was that Qin Yue had already instructed Cen Bo to transport grain from the Jiangnan region to the northwest via caravans during this summer's harvest.
My father has such a huge army under his command, and the food consumption is indeed astonishing!
If they relied on the imperial court to allocate food and fodder, these soldiers might starve to death.
Although his father did not allow him to enter the military camp in recent years, the money-making resources in his hands were slowly handed over to Qin Yue through Cen Bo.
Although he didn't understand why his father did this, Qin Yue didn't want to disappoint his father's expectations. Over the years, he managed some of Jiangnan's industries in an orderly manner.
