You are my golden finger

Uncle Mu Xiong didn't dare to make any noise when he returned to Kyoto. He just told Xingwen privately, and Xingwen invested five thousand taels.

Most of the others will have to go to Jiuchang County anyway, and then wait for the official approval from the court.

"Captain Sun, Master Lu, what is the progress of each project now? The princess wants to transfer some manpower to Jiuchang Prefecture, can they be mobilized?" Uncle Mu Xiong arrived at the construction site and asked the two about the situation.

"The main projects at each construction site have been completed. What we are working on now are the ancillary projects, which can be completely handed over to the small workers." Captain Sun replied.

Finally, the three of them discussed and decided to leave 500 soldiers to manage the major construction sites. Captain Sun worked with the two to lead the remaining troops and craftsmen, escorting the cement, and headed towards Jiuchang County together.

A few days later, the two groups of people gathered in Jiuchang, and An Yi also returned with the imperial approval document. The emperor gave Murong Xu the greatest authority, and the land used for the construction of reservoirs and the preparation of new areas for disaster victims could be executed first and reported later, and the land could be requisitioned first and reported later.

With this authority, the two men acted with great determination. The road from Jiuchangfu City to Yixiu was quickly planned, and the planning and design of the new town for disaster victims in Yixiu Town was also completed.

Because Yixiu was to build the first new city for disaster victims, it was built on a relatively large scale.

In the middle is a large shopping mall, which combines a leisure place for adults and an entertainment center for children, surrounded by shops. However, the size of the shops varies. Some small shops are only about 50 square meters, while the big ones are 100, 200 or 300 square meters. The tallest one is three-story, and many shops have backyards.

Lin Xijin decided to leave six stores for herself in each new district, two large, medium and small stores, mainly to stabilize prices and provide services to the victims so that they would no longer suffer from the price gouging by merchants. She originally thought about opening a supermarket, but if she did that, other merchants might not be able to survive, so it would be better to avoid competing with the people for profits.

Several houses are also reserved for the convenience of living of people who will manage the store in the future.

The housing design of the new area for disaster victims is mainly exquisite and simple. The smallest unit has three main rooms, and there is a small courtyard after the gate, a kitchen and bathroom on the right, and two small side rooms on the left.

The large apartment has five main rooms, and the rest of the layout is the same as the small apartment, except that the courtyard, wing rooms, and kitchen are much more spacious. There are also two main units with two suites connected, separated by a courtyard in the middle, which can be sold separately and is convenient for some large families to buy and use together.

Because the house design this time is aimed at disaster victims, there is no house design for wealthy families. It mainly focuses on simplicity, comfort and durability.

At present, the disaster area is counting the victims every day, preparing to distribute land, resettlement fees and food according to population. Each person will be given three mu of land, twenty taels of resettlement fees and fifty kilograms of food. There is no problem at all for those with more people to buy a house.

In addition to shops and residences, a new district also has a Hope Primary School to make it easier for the children of disaster victims to go to school.

After Uncle Jianan and Uncle Muxiong arrived with their two teams, some of the building materials for the Seven Stars Pavilion were also transported in. So the road construction and the construction of the new area for the disaster victims started simultaneously. Lin Xijin also took the opportunity to transfer a large amount of cement, bricks and tiles and other building materials to facilitate the use of the subsequent projects.

Lin Xijin and Murong Xu decided to issue 10,000 shares for fundraising, 50% of which would be in their own hands.

At the strong request of Shangguan Rui and Qi Jinghao, they were given 100 more shares each. In order not to be partial, the Li Yuze brothers, General Wu and the Imperial Tutor's Mansion also did the same.

Several young men, villagers from Shiziwo Village, the two families of Uncle Muxiong and Uncle Jian'an, the soldiers of Captain Sun, and Master Lu's team of craftsmen also reserved one hundred shares.

I guess the palace also has to reserve several hundred shares.

But everything is currently in preparation and is not available for public sale.

Lin Xijin led everyone to inspect all the areas where the disaster was severe and the houses were basically collapsed. A total of ten addresses were selected to rebuild a new area for the disaster victims.

After selecting the new district address, Lin Xijin was busy with the design and planning of each new district. Fortunately, Gu Tou brought eight members of the Qingyuan development office with him, and the remaining older one stayed behind. With the help of Xihui and a few other guys, the surveying and planning were quickly implemented.

Except for the layout of the central square, the other layouts of each new district are similar. The building areas are different, and the number of extended disaster relief housing is also different. Everything is adapted to local conditions.

After the new area for disaster victims was selected, the planning of the road became simple. The original route was straightened as much as possible to shorten the distance between the two places.

However, there are many rivers in Jiangnan, so bridges need to be built in many places. So many craftsmen were recruited from the disaster victims, and the team was very large.

Soon, the second line and the second new town for disaster victims began to be built. Most of the victims had recovered because they drank medicine every day. They were able to eat and wear warm clothes, and their bodies were getting stronger day by day. Therefore, except for the elderly and children, there were basically no idle people in the disaster area.

After the site selection, survey and design of the new areas for disaster victims were completed, Lin Xijin focused on the construction of the reservoir. Because the reservoir project was huge, it was a major event that would benefit the country and the people and would be remembered for generations, and it could not tolerate any negligence.

When Tang Yanzhi, the Vice Minister of Works, returned to Beijing last time, he brought with him eighteen people, twelve of whom were responsible for surveying and the other six were engineering designers.

They had already started the exploration work when Lin Xijin was selecting the site and designing the new area for disaster victims, but their work progressed too slowly. When Lin Xijin completed the entire design of the new area, they had not even finished the survey.

"Master Tang, can I see everyone's measurement data?" Lin Xijin decided to understand the situation first.

"Mr. Fang, please show the measurement data to the princess." Tang Yanzhi said to a surveying and mapping worker.

"Oh, I'll give all the data to Engineer Yan." Manager Fang looked at the engineering designers standing nearby.

"I left it at my residence last night and didn't bring it here," said Yan Gong.

Lin Xijin looked at his bulging shoulder bag and said nothing.

He turned to Gu Tou and said, "You should remeasure all the data according to my requirements and try to complete it within six days. First, the straight-line distance from the waterfall outlet to the narrowest part of the canyon. Second, the height of the peaks on both sides, the width and area of ​​the entire narrow valley. Third, the surface area and depth of the river water in the narrow valley..."

“After measuring the canyon, we also need to measure the area around the deep pool below the waterfall.”

"Yes, Princess. I guarantee to complete the task!" Gu Tou answered loudly.

Are you kidding! The princess taught them so much surveying knowledge in Qingyuan and gave them such good surveying tools. If we don’t let the Ministry of Industry’s sense of superiority continue, we will be sorry to the princess.

Lin Xijin assigned tasks one by one, and the officials of the Ministry of Works nearby were dumbfounded. They thought Lin Xijin was just a little girl with some medical skills who was favored by the prince, but they didn't know that she was more professional than them.

Lin Xijin didn't care what these people thought. If she didn't give them a slap in the face, these people wouldn't know where the sun would rise from. Some of the personnel in the various departments of Chaoyue were children of nobles. They were uneducated and had no real skills. They lived on the blessing of their ancestors.

However, those officials who got promoted through the imperial examinations were self-righteous and kept their skills secret, fearing that others would learn from them. Moreover, the content of the ancient imperial examinations was simple, and there were probably not many people in the Ministry of Works who were truly capable.

In short, these people have no spirit of unity and cooperation, have not experienced the beatings of society, and some of them are ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth.

"Princess, I will give you the measurement data when I go back tonight." Tang Yanzhi said hurriedly, fearing that Lin Xijin would be angry and complain to the prince.

"No need, just go about your business. The two sides will meet in eight days to discuss the design plan, and then we will choose the best one. I hope you can hurry up." Lin Xijin also had a temper. After saying this, he started to work, leaving the engineering department staff looking at each other in bewilderment.
