You are my golden finger

The cold wind is like a blade, which may cut your face slightly, but it cannot extinguish the ordinary people's desire to pursue a happy life.

The people of Shiziwo were ready to set off with a burning desire to conquer Kyoto and fight for a place in that place where every inch of land is valuable.

The number of people entering Beijing is huge.

Captain Sun brought 1,500 soldiers to Beijing, leaving 500 to repair the road to the border town. Because Lin Xijin asked him to hire as many civilian workers as possible to benefit the people. With the participation of the border troops, it was possible to arrange it.

The border troops were responsible for transporting cement, sand and gravel. Now that the war had stopped, the border troops could send a large number of people. Because the border troops also had to build city walls and various fortifications, they were solely responsible for the transportation. The soldiers only provided technical guidance during the construction.

Uncle Jian'an and Uncle Muxiong, with more than a hundred villagers from Shiziwo, as well as dozens of craftsmen including Master Lu and a group of laborers, roughly more than four hundred people in total, were waiting at the city gate.

Most of the Sun Duwei and the soldiers rode on tall horses, which were provided by Lin Xijin. There were also a row of carriages, carrying various road construction equipment and military supplies. The vanguard had already started to set off.

Uncle Jianan and his entourage had both horse-drawn carriages and ox-drawn carts, because when various projects started, these carts would also be requisitioned. So even though the ox-drawn carts would be slower, Lin Xijin did not ask them to switch.

Lin Xijin instructed Captain Sun, Uncle Jian'an and Uncle Mu Xiong to protect the team and craftsmen on the way and go directly to the manor outside the capital.

He told Ye Jinlin and Chuntao to take good care of Qi Po and let them set off first, with Lin Dong, Lin Nan and other guards and the people selected by the family accompanying them. He left enough silver and spare medicine and said goodbye to everyone. He only said that he had to go back to Shiziwo again to arrange some things.

Ye Jinlin knew that his master had mysterious means, and that he might have been waiting in Kyoto before the huge team arrived. So he nodded and agreed to his master's instructions one by one, and left with everyone without worry.

Naturally, Lin Xijin did not return to Shiziwo, and flew directly to Murong Xu's manor in Kyoto that night.

Murong Xu seemed to be able to predict the future and was already waiting for her in the manor.

"Should I call you Little Zhuge?" Lin Xijin joked.

"Call me Big Zhuge! I'm not small at all." Murong Xu answered in a seemingly serious but profound manner.

Lin Xijin pinched the soft flesh on his face, but her face turned red with embarrassment.

Murong Xu loved her blushing face so much that he held up her rosy face and drooled at her, causing Lin Xijin to kick him.

The village was filled with scenes of adults chasing and fighting, as well as scenes that were not suitable for children.

Murong Xu went back to court early in the morning, while Lin Xijin went directly to the manor given by the emperor and asked the headman to arrange accommodation for the large number of people coming from Qingyuan.

There were not many ready-made houses, and they could not accommodate them. Fortunately, these people would be separated soon, and they only needed to find a piece of land for them to camp and set up tents. There were many open spaces in winter, so finding a place was not a problem, but they had to prepare enough food, firewood, and charcoal for these people to eat, drink, and keep warm.

"Master, don't worry. There is plenty of food on the farm, including meat and vegetables. You don't have to go out to buy them. You can buy some firewood from the farmers, and I will arrange for someone to buy some charcoal tomorrow." The head of the farm answered humbly.

"Just make the arrangements. All expenses will be paid from the village's account." Lin Xijin finally left two bags of tea for the village head and let him go about his business.

After returning home, he asked Xingwen to keep an eye on the arrival of the Shiziwo army, and after he settled the people, he took Qi Po, Uncle Mu Xiong, Uncle Jian An, Master Lu, Captain Sun, Ye Jinlin, Chun Tao, and the cook back to the Princess's Mansion. The staff of the pharmacy were first arranged in the original Lin Mansion.

Xingwen agreed to all of them.

Lin Xijin calmed down and began to draw the design drawings of various projects. Since he had been to each place when selecting the site, he was familiar with the terrain and did not need to conduct field surveys.

The first thing to be completed was the design drawings of the five charitable schools. Lin Xijin planned to plagiarize the modern naming method and name them "Kyoto First Hope Primary School", "Kyoto Second Hope Primary School" and so on.

The classrooms, dormitories, canteens and sports fields of Hope Primary School are of the same specifications. It’s just that the various buildings are located in different places according to the topography. Just like several charity schools in Qingyuan, they are built according to local conditions and create a beautiful scene at every step.

The land in front of the Xishan Hunting Ground is quite wide. In order to facilitate access and transportation in the future, Lin Xijin plans to build a wide cement road at his own expense, leading directly to the entrance of the hunting ground. Therefore, he wants to build the bookstore there as well.

A salesperson's bureau was built on the outermost part, a medical school and a pharmacy were built in the middle, and a bookstore was built near the entrance to the hunting ground. However, the emperor's consent had to be obtained in advance, after all, there was no plan for a bookstore when the application was initially submitted.

Lin Xijin asked Murong Xu to greet his father, the emperor, first, and after obtaining his consent, he began to draw the design drawings. It took five days for all the drawings to come out.

He wrote a formal report, attached all the design drawings, and handed it to the officials of the Ministry of Rites to present to the emperor. Two days later, he received the official approval document stamped with the imperial seal and the emperor's private seal, and Lin Xijin breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sister, are our doll workshop and children's clothing workshop also going to move to Kyoto?" Jiajia and Xinlan asked as they listened to Lin Xijin and Xingwen arranging various tasks.

"We want to build a workshop here, and we have transferred some of the staff to Beijing. But there is not enough space in Xishan, and my sister is considering where to put the workshop." Lin Xijin answered patiently.

"Sister, wait a moment." Xin Lan ran away and came back with a box in her arms.

Xin Lan took out a stack of deeds from the box, handed them to Lin Xijin, and said to her generously: "Sister, these are what my grandmother gave me when I went to my grandmother's house last time. She said they were gifts from my mother, grandfather, uncles, and aunts. Now I'm giving them to you. Do you see if there are any that are suitable for the workshop?"

Lin Xijin was surprised at the generosity of the Taifu family, who actually gave the land deed to such a young child. She was also surprised at Xinlan's unreserved closeness to her. She took the land deed and said to her sincerely, "Xinlan, I don't need these things, so you keep them well. But we can first choose and see if there is a place suitable for the workshop. After you have a day off in two days, we will go to the site to take a look and open the workshop as soon as possible."

So they looked through them carefully. Most of these deeds were for manors and shops, all in good locations, and currently they were operating various businesses, so Xinlan could just sit back and wait for the income.

Several people simultaneously focused their attention on a farm of more than 300 acres in the suburbs of Beijing. It was only more than ten miles away from Kyoto, had convenient access and was of suitable size, making it a good place to build a workshop.

"Wait until you have your day off and then go over there and if it's suitable, we can build the workshop there."

"Good!" Xin Lan felt very happy that she had finally contributed something to this family.

"Sister, I want to go too." An An was afraid that she would be left behind.

"Okay, let's all go." Lin Xijin touched his little head and comforted him.
