Gong Qianyu's face darkened and he said: "The city is for Shuiling. You can only live in peace in the future if you are loyal to the city lord."

Shui Ling didn't say anything. This was the moment to establish his authority, so he couldn't talk too much.

Bai Rui is 100% loyal to Shui Ling, while Gao Qiang and Xiao Haiyou are 100% loyal at this moment. They kowtow like they are pounding garlic.

Shuiling said calmly: "No courtesy, let's go and see our city."

The word "we" carried so much weight that the three of them instantly felt at ease and nodded one after another.

From the moment they walked in to the bridge, the three of them were so amazed that they didn't close their mouths.

Shui Ling didn't push him, he had to let them take a closer look. To be honest, he was still shocked after walking this road for the second time.

In fact, looking at it carefully now, she was also shocked. The city wall could not be seen from one side to the other, and it included a mountain. She really didn't know how many patrols would be needed in the future.

She asked: "Brother Yu, how many people do you think can live in this city?"

Gong Qianyu pondered for a moment and said: "Three to forty thousand should be enough. Look, it's very empty over there, and it's still flat land overgrown with weeds. Some houses can be rebuilt."

Shui Ling nodded, "Well, I found that there are many shops here, but there is no academy. I want to build an academy..."

She paused and then said: "No, we have to build two colleges, one for men and one for women."

Male and female students can only study until the age of eight, and they must be separated after the age of eight. We have advanced ideas, but we cannot lead the people here astray. It will not be good for them. We still have to follow the steps."

Gong Qianyu nodded, "Yes, just do what you want."

"Okay." Shui Ling took a look at the wasteland and decided to build a college in the future.

But there are still a lot of open spaces like this. Although the large houses on the edge of the residential area are next to each other, there are still many open spaces.

Building small houses on these vacant lots is not harmonious, after all, it is impossible for civilians to live next to big houses.

If it's empty, it's a waste. You have to find a way to build something that can be used.

Gong Qianyu frowned and said: "The mansion is a bit too big. It's better to demolish it and reduce the yard."

"Is it big?" Shui Ling asked.

Gong Qianyu replied: "It's very big. The prince's palace is no more than that. You don't have a prince here, so you can't make it that big."

Shui Ling understood. If it was in the suburbs, there wouldn't be so many restrictions, but there were still status restrictions on how big a place you could live in the city.

"But now that everything has been built, it will be troublesome to demolish it."

Gong Qianyu pondered for a moment and said: "It doesn't matter how good the things in your city lord's mansion are, but there are still some regulations on where ordinary people live."

"Um...Okay." Shui Ling flattened her mouth in aggrieved tone, wanting to trouble herself again.

Gong Qianyu smiled and said: "Actually, people now understand that they don't dare to live in a house that is too big."

"Hmm...but how to dismantle it?" Shui Ling felt embarrassed.

Gong Qianyu smiled and said: "Just reduce the size of the backyard, so that we can have a lot more wall tiles."

"Uh... okay." Shui Ling nodded.

In this way, a large house can be built against the wall, and more people can live there.

The two of them were discussing and walking behind the three curious babies.

In the afternoon, the three of them finally arrived at the City Lord's Mansion. They were so tired that they sat down on the steps.

Bai Rui gasped and said, "No... I can't walk anymore..."

The three of them were tired and hungry, and couldn't walk any more.

Shui Ling couldn't help but smile and took out fruits to replenish their strength.

The three of them devoured a meal and regained some strength.

Bai Rui said: "City Lord, is this your mansion? It's simply too grand."

Shui Ling nodded, "This is the City Lord's Mansion. By the way, you saw the house number here, right?"

Gao Qiang and Xiao Haiyou looked confused.

Bai Rui looked at it carefully and said, "I saw it. It was the street number written on the door."

Shui Ling nodded, "Let's go in and talk."

The three of them got up and entered the city lord's mansion, where they were all amazed again.

Bai Rui frowned and said, "The City Lord's Mansion is too small. Although it is wide from side to side, it feels too small."

Shui Ling shook his head, "It's not small anymore. We don't like too many people. We will build some guest rooms and servant rooms when the time comes, and we won't build anything else."

Bai Rui hesitated and asked, "City Lord, can I stay here?"

Shui Ling looked at him in surprise, "You? I plan to make you the county magistrate here. Do you want to live here?"

Bai Rui smiled naively, "I don't want to be the county magistrate."

Shui Ling looked at him in confusion, "Why?"

Bai Rui said: "The city lord is a fairy-like person. I just want to be a housekeeper by your side."

Shui Ling pondered for a moment and felt that Bai Rui would be a good housekeeper.

However, Butler Qian said in his mind: "Let him go."

Shui Ling had never seen Butler Qian get angry before, so he quickly said: "Bai Rui, this county magistrate is a very important position. I really don't feel comfortable giving it to others."

Bai Rui had a feeling that he was being favored, and immediately said energetically: "Yes, I will definitely not let down the trust of the city lord."

Shui Ling nodded, "Well, that's right."

Gao Qiang was a little jealous and asked: "City Lord, what should I do?"

Shui Ling smiled and said: "The county government is a county government, and there can only be one county magistrate. But I want to set up a serious crime team, and you will be the leader of the serious crime team."

"What is the crime squad?" Gao Qiang asked.

Shui Ling explained: "Even if there are cases that the Yamen cannot solve, and those who cannot be caught, they will be handed over to you."

Gao Qiang immediately became excited, but soon became unhappy again.

"No, I want to be the general protecting the city."

Gong Qianyu glared at him coldly.

Shui Ling secretly tugged on Gong Qianyu's sleeve. In fact, this just hit his mark, and he said it on purpose.

She pretended to be stupid and asked: "Why? Isn't the position high enough?"

Gao Qiang shook his head, "The people here are very kind. There are no serious cases. Wouldn't that make me idle?"

"Since the city is so big, you need someone reliable to look after it for you. I think I can do it."

Shui Ling pretended to be thoughtful and was silent for a moment before saying: "Okay, you are right. The city is so big that I need a powerful person to look after it for me. Then you can lead troops to patrol the city and I will allow you to find a place to be a general."

Mansion."

"Okay!" Gao Qiang nodded immediately, his mouth couldn't close, not to mention how happy he was.

Bai Rui asked: "City Lord, where is the county government office?"

Shui Ling pointed to the outer city, "Outside, you choose the place yourself. If you don't like the place, we will build it again."

"Okay." Bai Rui was also happy.

The three of them entered the front hall as they spoke. After taking their seats according to their status, Xiao Haiyou asked with a sad face: "City Lord, where am I?"

Shui Ling really didn't know what to do.

Gong Qianyu said: "You are still suitable for fighting at sea, so you will be the deputy."

Shui Ling nodded immediately, "Yes, I will give you a boat when the time comes."
