If MO Ruyue requisitioned the land, the families who owned the land would receive some compensation, and their lives would be better.

There was only a total of three families’ land. Because there were too many stones here, people were too lazy to come over and open up. In addition, there was a plague previously. Only the people of West River Village would clear up every inch of land in the village except for the main road.

After choosing the location, Meng Xun did not delay at all. He brought people to see the feng Shui and said that it was a good place. The people from the Ministry of Works immediately started work.

They had specially built the princess’s manor for MO Ruyue, so MO Ruyue had asked Aunt Zhou to take care of the food and drinks for them.

The money Meng Xun brought for the construction of the princess’s manor included food and drinks for them.

Those who went to cook for them were all paid. Meng Xun paid them himself, so MO Ruyue did not ask.

Meng Xun naturally didn’t dare to make a fuss here.

MO Ruyue thought that she could have a good rest after she came back. However, the reality was cruel.

After the people from the Xue Family Bodyguard Agency left, another messenger came on horseback.

Not only did she have to personally answer the questions of the apprentices at home, but she also had to do it herself. She had no time to rest every day, and this time, she received a letter from the capital.

She said that in another two days, half of the palace maids who had studied medicine with her would come.

Fortunately, half of them were left in the palace. After all, Empress Dowager and those consorts couldn’t leave them, so the two batches were switched. MO Ruyue had solved the problem of the apprentices at home, but she had to accept new apprentices.

MO Ruyue, who felt that her future was bleak, took a deep breath. It was alright, she was about to make it big!

MO Ruyue was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to hold on if she didn’t give herself some encouragement.

There was also a letter from the capital to Gu Ying, telling him about the outcome of the Liu family.

Gu Ying was quite satisfied after seeing that the arrangement was similar to his.

In fact, not all the things in the Liu family’s warehouse had been burned. He had taken more than half of them.

Even if he could not use those things, it was good to rob the rich and help the poor. He would not be so stupid as to burn them all.

Setting fire was just to hide from the eyes and ears, and also to teach the Liu family a lesson.

MO Ruyue looked at her courtyard, which was almost fully occupied. She wondered why the bigger the house, the more people came.

And no matter how big the house was, they always felt that it was not enough to live in.

When the palaces medical maids came, they had to worry about arranging a place to stay.

Gu Ying also realized that their village was a little small, and people often came to the capital. The village had to be expanded. He planned to build two more inns at the end of the village

The two of them called the old village chief over.

After two days of digesting, the old village chief had already accepted the fact that MO Ruyue had become a princess. He was still a little heartbroken. Why did Gu Ying get into the second place but give up on the official road?

Why did he come back to open a literature and martial arts academy?

However, he was not his child, so he could not say anything.

Now that MO Ruyue and Gu Ying were looking for him, he appeared in front of them as soon as possible.

The old village chief did not disagree with MO Ruyue and Gu Ying’s suggestion. Besides, MO Ruyue was now the Big Boss of Lianshan County. He had to listen to whatever she said. Moreover, she was giving him a good suggestion. How could he not be willing?

As a village chief, it would be a great honor to expand the original area of the village when he was in office!

This was something that the other village chiefs could not even imagine

After leaving the house, the old village chief thought that there was a princess in the village. Although this princess was still the same as before, he knew that this was because she was kind and good-tempered, but it did not mean that they could be impudent in front of her.

The old village chief thought to himself, ‘When I have time, I’ll have to gather all the villagers and have a good talk with them. I can’t be too presumptuous in front of MO Ruyue. She’s a real princess now.’

After he returned, he went straight to Lianshan County to look for Magistrate

Wu and stamp the land. When he returned to Reliance Town, he went to find Foreman Fang to lead the team over.

In the past year, Foreman Fang had taken on many more big jobs than before, and they were all from West River Village.

The neighboring villages saw that Xihe Village had become lively again, and houses were being built everywhere. From the looks of it, the foundations were not small. They were all curious if some squires wanted to take root here. They were really lucky!

A few days later, the Xue Family Bodyguard Agency in the capital came to deliver a letter to Gu Ying.

MO Ruyue looked at the person who had brought the gifts over. He must have been tired and haggard in order to have a quick meal in the open. Moreover, he had come alone.

Gu Ying kept the things and told the man to rest for the night and leave tomorrow. The man did not refuse. He had been traveling for more than two days and was indeed very tired.

MO Ruyue realized that when they came back, they had to bring along the messenger and the previous one. This kind of escort agency was a bit rigid. when escorting things, the big Items were sent by a team. For small Items like letters, one person had to deliver them alone. It was too much of a waste of manpower.

MO Ruyue suddenly thought of a good idea.

“Didn’t your Xue Family Bodyguard Agency think of setting up a spot in every county and town?

“In that case, whether it’s to deliver things or letters, it’ll definitely be much faster than coming and going alone. It’ll save you trouble and effort.” Gu Ying’s interest was piqued when he heard MO Ruyue’s question.

“Do you have any good ideas?”

“Look, you have to deliver a letter for someone else. Is the fee expensive?

“Of course. Otherwise, our messengers would have come so far for nothing. We would have to pay for food and drinks on the way.”

Seeing MO Ruyue’s expression, Gu Ying must have thought of a good idea. He couldn’t help but look forward to it.

“In any case, your Xue Family Bodyguard Agency is in the business of escorting people, and you also accept the task of delivering letters.”

“Let me give you an example. For example, if someone from the capital comes to deliver something to you again, he will have to rest at night. It will take two days to drive at full speed and he will be exhausted. It’s not worth it for two people.”

“If you set up a checkpoint in every village, county, and town, the distance between two villages would only be about ten miles. It would take a horse to finish a cup of tea.”

“We’ve been living in villages all the way from the capital. Even if it’s not the case in other places, they shouldn’t be too far apart.”

Because this area was close to the capital, the villages were relatively dense.

There was basically no village more than ten miles away.

Most of the villages were about three to five miles apart.

“If there is a fixed point between each village, you can set the time yourself. Each village will be prepared in advance. When the last person arrives at the next village, the goods will be handed over to the fixed point of the village. The village will immediately take the goods and leave. When they arrive at the next village, they will go back and forth.”

“Moreover, you can receive more at once. This way, you can earn back the manpower you spent and save money.”

Gu Ying seemed to understand, but he didn’t. However, he stared at MO Ruyue with sparkling eyes. He felt that if he followed MO Ruyue’s suggestion, it would be feasible.

“Tell me more about the process in detail.”

MO Ruyue simply took a pen and paper and explained to him while drawing a picture. It was actually the express delivery model of the later generations..
