You are my golden finger

Chapter 105 Inspection of various towns

"The location of this charity school is very well chosen! It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the layout is adapted to local conditions. The princess is truly talented!" Lin Zhiyuan, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, gave a thumbs up to the little girl sincerely.

"Lord Lin, thank you for your praise. Yixuetang has achieved its current status thanks to the strong support of His Majesty and all the lords in Kyoto. I am just trying my best to contribute." Lin Xijin said modestly.

Lin Zhiyuan thought that these were her words of self-deprecation, but he didn't know that these were all reasonable excuses that Lin Xijin found for the source of funds for building the school, which seemed a bit like deceiving others.

But apart from Murong Xu who knew the specific source of the funds, no one else would seriously investigate it, and all they had was admiration and gratitude on their faces.

There was no need to inspect the construction of the road, but we inspected the planting of crops, medicinal herbs and fruit trees along the way. When we arrived at the cement factory, we stopped to inspect its construction.

The dormitories and factory buildings of the cement factory have been completely built, and the surrounding area is being greened. All machines have entered the installation and commissioning stage. But to be honest, these equipment are too backward and have no technical content. I just tried to go through the process again.

Lin Xijin and Murong Xu checked the samples they had produced, looked at each other, and knew what the other meant.

That means they are not satisfied, the strength of the cement has not increased.

The group ate a big pot meal with the craftsmen at the cement factory. Lin Xijin took out some cement samples made by herself from the space and compared the difference between the two. Then he asked the craftsmen to go through the whole process again and taught them some technical essentials before the team continued to move forward.

The two-day trip went smoothly and was very satisfying, but an unexpected event occurred during the Qinghui trip.

Mayor Mo was quite good at handling things, kneeling at the entrance of the town to greet them. Murong Xu, Lin Xijin and others greeted everyone and were about to start today's schedule when they saw a group of villagers rushing over from the roadside and kneeling in front of everyone.

"We are suing Mayor Mo for corruption and abuse of power. We ask the prince and the princess to help us!" the villagers shouted.

"Everyone, stand up. Send a representative to tell us what's going on." Murong Xu said majestically with a frosty face.

"Your Highness, I am Yang Shuyou, the head of Dayang Village in Qinghui Town. We are suing Mayor Mo for corruption and abuse of power, embezzling the people's property, and for making the villagers pay land transaction taxes."

"But we heard that other towns don't have this clause, and we don't agree. We ask the prince and the princess to make the decision for us." Yang Shuyou seemed to be quite capable and spoke in an orderly manner.

"We ask the prince and the princess to make the decision for us." The villagers echoed in unison.

Lin Xijin was indignant after hearing this. In order to save manpower and material resources, she handed over as many other tasks as possible to the town except for measuring the land. Things like distributing land expropriation compensation were distributed by the town mayor.

She had put so much effort into developing Qingyuan and wanted the people to live a good life. But she didn't expect these people to take advantage of her and enrich themselves. This really touched her sore spot.

"Mayor Mo, is this true?!" Lin Xijin is usually low-key and gentle, but when he is serious, he also has a bit of the pressure of a superior.

"The town collects this money to develop Qinghui Town." Mayor Mo defended himself.

"Come here, immediately detain this corrupt lunatic, seal up Qinghui Town and Mo Huoliang's personal property, and recover the land transaction taxes from the people. There must be no mistakes." Murong Xu gave the order loudly.

"Yes, I obey your command." Li Yuze felt quite ashamed. After all, it was the mistake caused by his lax governance.

"We thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! Thank you, Princess Jiahui!" Yang Shuyou and a group of villagers knelt down to express their gratitude!

The team immediately went to the town government office to try the case. This Mo was an old hand, and he kept the accounts flawless, with all the signatures and seals. It was a pity that today's raid was a surprise, and the yamen runners found the secret account book from the secret compartment of his desk. The greed of a small town mayor was shocking.

A large amount of gold, silver, and land deeds were found in his house. He had shops in the county and the provincial capital. Although he was not as rich as a country, he was still considered a powerful man.

Li Yuze immediately dismissed all the relevant personnel and urgently transferred a group of staff from the county government to take over the town's official business. Yang Shuyou and Xu Xiaoge were also called in and entrusted with important tasks, and only then was the situation managed to be stabilized.

We had lunch at the Yixuetang and walked around the hall after lunch. Due to the corruption case that happened in the morning, we were not in a good mood and ended the trip hastily.

The journey to the next few towns and villages was particularly smooth, perhaps because of the killing of a chicken to scare the monkeys in Qinghui Town. What we saw were scenes of a good harvest in sight and people living in harmony.

Especially the villagers of Muyuan Village, because the brick factory and the porcelain factory have been put into operation, every household has someone working in the factory. They receive daily wages and the first dividend. Everyone has a happy smile on his face.

The last thing we inspected was the Medical College and Rulin Bookstore. Due to their large scale, the progress of these two places was relatively slow. However, now that the charity schools and road construction projects in various towns and villages are nearing completion, personnel are beginning to gather here, and it is estimated that the progress will be very fast in the future.

But Lin Xijin had a headache. It was easy to find teachers for the charity schools in various towns. A notice was posted some time ago. Due to the good conditions, people quickly applied for the positions. A group of people have been recruited so far.

However, it is not easy to find a teacher in a medical school. In ancient times, medical skills were often passed down orally within the family, and there was no complete medical system, so it was difficult to find an ideal teacher.

It seemed that this matter could only be entrusted to Murong Xu. He would have to throw out some medical books as bait, and if necessary, he would have to personally take the lead and play the role of a teacher.

These days, Murong Xu came in the evening and left in the morning, not afraid of being tired. After settling several children, he returned to the bedroom and found him sitting in the room.

She motioned him to be quiet, and with a wave of her hand, the two of them were in space.

"Why are you here again? Aren't you tired?" Lin Xijin asked angrily.

"Not tired. As long as I can see you, I'm not tired. Love gives me strength!" Murong Xu shouted like a slogan.

I don't know when this guy who is usually as cold as ice in front of outsiders becomes so talkative. Before he finished speaking, he had already hugged her into his arms.

"Jin'er, what should I do? I'm going back in a few days, and I can't bear to leave you."

"I asked you, the emperor, to change the crown prince? Why do you come to Qingyuan to farm?" Lin Xijin said jokingly.

"good idea."

Joking aside, both of them knew that this idea would not work. Because in this cruel dynasty, fathers and sons killed each other and brothers killed each other almost every day for the sake of power and profit. Although the current emperor was not bad, if Murong Xu did not have absolute strength, he would be annihilated and his life would be in danger, not to mention whether the two could realize their grand plans.
