Chapter 506 Big Sale
As for Shen Ruyi, after receiving 430% of the family property of the Li family head, more than million taels of silver and banknotes.
She also asked the other party to write a note specifically, stating that this was compensation for her, the Prince of Ji'an, to calm her down and compensate her for mental damages, and stamped it with her private seal.
Lest anyone accuse her of accepting bribes.
Considering that the head of the Li family has a positive attitude, raises funds quickly, and has no ulterior motives.
Shen Ruyi gave the other party a sweet promise, "I will hand over all the money to the government, and I won't keep a single cent.
And your name will appear on the official case, and this prince will also say a few good words for you.
This prince never takes other people's money for free.
This money may be used on river channels, on frontier soldiers, or on disaster victims.
In short, it will play its role.”
Shen Ruyi doesn't want to make enemies because of this.
The head of the Li family might feel that exchanging silver for his life is a great deal.
When this is over, the other party might regret it, and think that Shen Ruyi is cruel and hate her.
This matter must be discussed openly to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty."
Patriarch Li never thought that there would be such a benefit. This is something that cannot be bought back with any amount of money.
What happened to his family before was caused by the fact that there was no one in the court and he couldn't reach the heaven directly.
If there was a way to file a complaint with the emperor, his family would not have ended up like this.
After hearing where the silver went, I was even more grateful.
The fact that the property he gave away could go to these places was a blessing and good fortune for them.
At the same time, it is also a blessing for his Li family, and maybe it can also accumulate some virtue for future generations.
After thinking it over, Patriarch Li knelt down again to express his determination.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. If you need our help in the future, please let us know. We will do our best to help you."
Seeing this, Shen Ruyi could only say: "Okay, I'll remember that.
If you encounter problems that cannot be solved in the future, you can send a letter to our Prince's Mansion.
The prerequisite is that you must stand on the side of reason and justice and not do anything that harms others.
Otherwise I might fight back. I only stand for what is right, not for my relatives."
"I know this, thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty."
And there's this surprise? Does this mean that my family has completely established a connection with the Prince's Mansion?
At this point, Patriarch Li was so happy that he almost went crazy and could only kowtow to express his gratitude.
The group of people sent by the government later received a new task just after arriving in Lanling and had no time to catch their breath.
Someone is needed to send silver and banknotes to Beijing.
I thought to myself that the way the Prince of Ji'an got money was more efficient and faster than the way the government ordered people to chop off heads.
This is too fast.
So they divided the people into two groups, one group, together with the 50 borrowed soldiers, delivered the silver to the north to Beijing.
A group of people came to protect Shen Ruyi and headed south, and this time Shen Ruyi did not refuse.
However, Manju was allowed to stay, and was also assigned a few experts and martial maids.
Because Shen Ruyi and his group only searched the prefect's house and his villa.
She had not touched any of Qin Zhifu's private properties and shops, and had only sent someone to seal them up.
After the quantity and inventory were sorted out, they were just left there.
Anyone who is smart will not touch this because it is easy to get into trouble.
It’s not that Shen Ruyi doesn’t want to sort it out all at once, but there are simply not enough people.
For safety reasons, this is the only way for now.
Shen Ruyi guessed that Prefect Qin must have other lairs.
These people probably won't move unless they leave.
If we keep Agate and these people to investigate secretly, we might be able to catch other big fish.
As for the official departure of Shen Ruyi and his group, all the officials of Lanling Prefecture came out to see them off.
It was a farewell from the heart, just short of a celebration with drums and gongs.
Good guy, good guy, he’s finally gone.
He also gave Shen Ruyi a lot of travel expenses (generous gifts), and even wanted Shen Ruyi to leave here happily.
Some people even took out their treasures and collections from home.
Shen Ruyi, on the other hand, accepted everything that came to her. She would accept anything as long as the other party dared to give it to her.
She has a connection with any valuable treasure.
How deep the fate is depends entirely on how much "thought" the gift giver has.
Of course, the crowd of people who came to see him off also included local people, and almost everyone who could come came.
Some people even took their own vegetables and forced them into the hands of Shen Ruyi and his group.
There are also people who send various kinds of flowers, anyway, they are all thoughtful.
Ordinary people can't think so much, and they don't know how high the official position of the prince is.
They only knew that because of the arrival of this prince, the evil Qin Dachang was arrested and his property was ransacked.
They were able to redress their grievances and also receive a certain amount of compensation.
That’s right, Shen Ruyi later paid the silver she earned from the sale in front of the prefectural government directly to the victims and their families on her own initiative.
Of course, we told the outside world that this was the government’s intention.
He also said that the government cares about everyone and is worried that everyone will not have enough food to eat and will be bullied.
He also said that he felt deeply sorry for having an official like Qin Zhifu.
This caused the common people to kneel facing the capital and shout "Long live the emperor!"
In the end, as they were distributing more and more money, they found that there was not enough money.
There was no other way, so she sent out another notice: Big sale of flowers, plants and furniture at the prefect's house.
Anyone who likes the flowers and plants in the magistrate's back office can pay silver, and then the magistrate will send someone to dig them up directly.
Of course, if you like the bookcases, furniture, beds, etc., you can buy them and I will sell them to you if you make an offer, but you have to pick them up yourself.
Except for the house, everything else can be sold.
This became a complete hit.
If you don't have the chance to become a prefect, you can take this opportunity to buy some things that the prefect has used to satisfy yourself.
At the beginning, everyone was somewhat cautious and afraid of being liquidated.
Later it was discovered that the prince did not consider this matter a taboo at all and continued to publicize it vigorously.
Everyone rushed to buy things like crazy, especially some of the merchants here.
They all wanted to buy something to broaden their horizons and experience the enjoyment and happiness that the prefect once had.
Of course, these people are also very sensible and give a lot of money.
Just think of it as leaving a good impression in front of this person.
In the end, not even a single blade of grass was left in the magistrate's back office, which was no different from digging three feet into the ground.
Even the lotus flowers in the lake were dug up.
After doing this, I ended up with a lot of money left over.
Shen Ruyi then issued a notice in the name of the emperor during her stay in Lanling.
Elderly people over 3 years old and infants under years old can take home taels of silver each.
She gave out as much silver as the number of people who came.
This policy is mainly aimed at the poor people.
At that time, not many ordinary people could live beyond 60 years old.
However, the current infant mortality rate is very high due to limited living conditions.
The introduction of this policy made ordinary people extremely happy.
This news spread throughout Lanling Prefecture like a gust of wind.
The official's reputation once reached its highest point.
From that day on, you would occasionally meet people kneeling on the ground and shouting "Long live the emperor".
