You are my golden finger

Everyone was intrigued by Lin Xijin's idea and listened attentively.

"We have initially planned to raise 10,000 shares to rebuild the disaster-stricken areas. This is a big piece of cake. Those who are interested in participating can consider it now and see if they want to invest." After Lin Xijin finished a long speech, he couldn't help but drink a large cup of tea.

"Sister, we don't have much money, can we invest?" Xihui asked carefully. Ye Jinlin, Xinfeng, Mu Xiongshu and others also looked at her expectantly.

"We in Shiziwo will sell shares at 100 taels each. To save trouble, we will set higher requirements for external sales, 1,000 taels of silver per share, and each person is limited to buying 100 shares." Lin Xijin had obviously thought it over carefully.

"Then I'll order one hundred shares now." Qi Jinghao signed up immediately.

"No rush. We here will definitely reserve some for you. Let's wait for our Jiangnan disaster relief work plan to come out and pass the court's approval before making a decision. This information should not be made public for the time being."

After hearing Lin Xijin's words, everyone was excited, especially the boys who calculated how much savings they had and prepared to invest all of them in the real estate business for the reconstruction of the Jiangnan disaster area. This would not only support the reconstruction of the disaster area, but also earn some pocket money for themselves in the future.

Lin Xijin didn't care what kind of brainstorm she had triggered. Now that everyone had arrived, she had lightened a lot of her burdens, and she suddenly felt that it was time to go back to Kyoto tonight.

He and Murong Xu used their Qinggong skills to come to the riverside, summoned a helicopter and flew into the sky, flying straight to the manor on the outskirts of Beijing.

The first places they visited were Shangshu Mansion and Princess Yuyao's farm in the suburbs. These warehouses were already explored by An Yi and his team. After knocking out the guards, the two of them easily entered the granary. The granaries of the two houses were full of grain.

In order to benefit the disaster victims in Jiuchang County, Lin Xijin naturally cleared them all out without hesitation.

The two took advantage of the cover of night and flew into the city, sneaking into the Shangshu Mansion and the Grand Princess Mansion without anyone noticing, and cleaned out the money, grain and cloth in the two warehouses. Even so, the two still left a lot of things for them, which could be regarded as Murong Xu taking care of the lives of his relatives.

The two men, having accomplished their mission, returned to their residence under the cover of night while everyone was still fast asleep.

After returning to Jiuchang County, the two decided to shift the focus of their work, leaving the resettlement of the victims to Chai County Magistrate and Ye Jinlin, the treatment of the victims and epidemic prevention work to the imperial physician and Sun Hong, Banxia and others, and the dredging of the river and cleaning of the disaster area to General Wu.

The two men set out with more than a dozen bodyguards, officials from the Ministry of Works and a few boys from their family to survey the terrain and topography and select a site to build a reservoir and a new area for disaster victims.

It was just that An Yi and An Er took the initiative to ask to stay and maintain the safety of the resettlement site for the disaster victims. Murong Xu gave them a cold look, but still agreed.

Everyone sat in three speedboats and went upstream. Soon they arrived at the junction of Jiuchang City and Qinglang County. From afar they could hear the roar of the waterfall and see the spectacular sight of the waterfall cascading down.

Because it has been raining for a long time, the rainfall is very abundant. The closer you get to the waterfall, the louder the roar becomes, and the rumbling sound is like thunder exploding in your ears. The waterfall is like a white dragon coming out of the sea, with extraordinary momentum, just like thousands of cavalry galloping on the battlefield.

Lin Xijin asked Murong Xu to slow down the speed of the buffer boat and carefully looked at the current terrain.

The place where I was was more like a lake than a river. Compared with the river in front, this place was three or four times wider. The waterfall splashed and the water was thick. Because it was raining, the water was very turbid. After years of erosion by the waterfall, I didn't know how deep the pool was.

We drove the speedboat to the shore and left a few people to guard it. We followed the mountain path along the shore to the mountain around the waterfall.

What appeared before everyone was a canyon, with strange peaks on both sides, overlapping mountains, green trees and vines, and shaded by jungles, which was truly a masterpiece of nature. The river channel was narrow at the farthest point, and the river flow was like a swimming dragon, winding along.

The middle section of the mountain is much wider and flatter, forming a wide lake. However, it becomes narrower and narrower near the waterfall. The majestic waterfall is formed due to the obstruction of the mountains on both sides and the difference in terrain.

Everyone looked at the terrain in front of them in silence, and they all felt that this was a perfect place to build a reservoir.

The middle of the canyon is low and spacious, with a large water storage capacity, but a narrow outlet. As long as the dam is built high and strong enough, it can be expanded to a larger storage capacity. Since there are mountains all around, a large amount of rocks can be collected when expanding the capacity. These rocks can be directly used to build the dam, and the construction work should be smaller.

"Sir Song, may I ask how many people live here?" After a long time, Lin Xijin broke the silence and asked the county magistrate Song Jing who was accompanying him on the inspection.

"There are not many people living in this valley. There are only a few mountain families on the outskirts, with a population of no more than 20 people." County Magistrate Song replied hurriedly.

"Yeah, that's good." Lin Xijin said nothing more.

"Sir Tang, please write to the court and send exploration personnel to survey and map the area in preparation for building the reservoir. Gu Yatou and others in Qingyuan County are experts in this field and can be transferred here as well." Murong Xu then said to Tang Yanzhi, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, who was standing beside him.

"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

The group went downstream along the river and, under the leadership of County Magistrate Song Jing, inspected several towns along the river.

Most of these towns were flooded, most of the houses collapsed, sewage flowed everywhere, silt was everywhere, and the scene was devastated. Some of them were still being flooded by the river water that had not receded. There was no vitality and prosperity in the past that belonged to the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River.

However, after today's walk, everyone had a basic plan in mind. It would take at least three years, or even longer, to rebuild Jiuchang County and restore its former prosperity.

That night, everyone sat down to discuss and decided to continue the current work, survey the reservoir topography, delineate the directions of various official roads, select construction sites for the new area for disaster victims, and transport cement, bricks, tiles, sand, stone, wood and other construction materials.

Finally, the first step of the construction goal was set, and it was planned to build a cement road between Jiuchang City and Yixiu Town in two months. Yixiu Town was the closest to Jiuchang City, so everyone decided to build the first new city there.

After everyone left, Lin Xijin and Murong Xu left behind Qi Jinghao, Uncle Mu Xiong and Uncle Jianan.

"Young Pavilion Master, do you have a way to provide bricks, tiles, sand, stone, wood and other building materials?" Lin Xijin asked Qi Jinghao first.

"Please rest assured, Miss Lin, we will give you as much as you want!" Qi Minghao took the responsibility.

"Okay, then please ask Young Pavilion Master to prepare for the transportation of materials. The project will start in ten days." Lin Xijin was also very straightforward.

"Uncle Jian'an, go back to Shiziwo first and see how many villagers have invested in it. You can also tell Li Yuze. Please note that the court has not approved it yet. I just don't want you to run around too much, so don't be too ostentatious for now. When you come back, bring all the cement you can with the transport team."

"Uncle Mu Xiong, you should go back to Kyoto and check on the progress of various projects in Kyoto. Also tell Captain Sun not to open new road construction routes for the time being. Ask him to come over as well and transfer all the craftsmen and road construction workers who can be mobilized." Lin Xijin said to Uncle Jian'an and Uncle Mu Xiong.

"Okay, Jin'er."

"You should get some rest early. Tomorrow you will each bring two guards back with you. Be careful on the road."

The two knew that Lin Xijin was a man of his word, so they didn't refuse and went downstairs to rest.

After returning to the space, Lin Xijin prepared food for Uncle Jian'an and the other six people on the way, and discussed with Murong Xu about writing a memorial to the court. After writing it, he gave it to An Yi to send it directly to the palace and give it to the emperor, so that it could reach the emperor directly. Then the two of them went back to their rooms to rest.
