You are my golden finger

In the next two days, Lin Xijin only sneaked out at night to take a walk around Shiziwo, let some water flow, and enjoy the scenery. It was a rare two days of leisure.

But this leisurely and comfortable life was disrupted with the arrival of County Magistrate Li Yuze.

Li Yuze came with the official document from the court, beating gongs and drums. Before entering the village, the whole village heard the gongs and drums and gathered at the top of the camphor tree. The children even ran out to greet the team and followed them.

Soon the team arrived at Zhangshutou, and the village head, clan leader and other villagers came to pay respect to the county magistrate. The county magistrate Li Yuze quickly revealed the answer and read the official document of the court to everyone.

"Ah? Jin'er was named Princess Jiahui?"

"Qingyuan County has become Jin girl's fiefdom?"

"Oh my god! The ancestors showed up."

The villagers knelt on the ground and kowtowed devoutly, wishing they could knock a hole in the ground to show their piety.

Li Yuze led the team to Lin Xijin's house accompanied by the head of the village and the clan leader. Lin Xijin asked the housekeeper to take the yamen runners downstairs for tea, and he personally entertained Li Yuze, the head of the village and the clan leader.

"Congratulations, Princess Jiahui!" Li Yuze saluted her formally.

"You are too polite, magistrate. You should still call me Miss Lin as before."

"Etiquette cannot be abolished! It's as it should be."

After some socializing, Li Yuze and Lin Xijin talked about the development of Qingyuan County.

"What do you think of our Shiziwo development model?"

"Shiziwo has developed very quickly. In just three years, it has become the richest village in the county! One has to admire it!" Li Yuze exclaimed with emotion.

"Qingyuan County can also copy the development model of Shiziwo. Within three years, all the villages in the county can be as prosperous as Shiziwo."

"To sum up, there are only three points: first, build roads to prosperity and beautify the living environment; second, rely on local resources to vigorously develop economic industries; third, enhance the villagers' sense of struggle, gather spiritual strength, run a good education, and improve the villagers' cultural level." Lin Xijin analyzed in an orderly manner.

"Your Excellency said it well! I admire you!" Li Yuze said with a fist salute.

"In a few days, send two yamen runners who are familiar with the conditions of the various towns in this county to take me around, investigate the existing resources in each place, and then formulate the next development plan."

"Okay, okay! My Lord, you are smart, I will rely on you from now on!"

After seeing off Li Yuze and his group, the head of the village and the clan leader did not leave. The two old men felt that this was a huge happy event for Shiziwo, and said that the village and the clan would jointly fund a three-day banquet.

Lin Xijin did not agree and declined on the grounds that spring ploughing and the county examinations for the children in the school were approaching.

But the village head and clan leader thought it was a great honor for Shiziwo and insisted on holding it. Lin Xijin finally had no choice but to compromise and agreed to hold a one-day buffet.

The villagers came to congratulate with gifts.

Lin Guiqi also came, carrying a small bamboo basket of eggs and putting it down to leave. Xihui pulled him into the house to drink tea, and finally the housekeeper picked up another basket as a return gift for him before letting him go.

Lin Xijin greeted him and said nothing more. After all, she was different from Xihui and Xijia. As someone who had a new chip, her mental age was older than his, so she couldn't get close to him. It was her greatest effort to let the two little ones maintain basic filial piety.

Although Lin Xijin didn't pay for the banquet, she asked the housekeeper to transport two carts of supplies. There was rice, noodles, wine, meat, and everything else. With the preparations from the clan and the village, the banquet was unprecedentedly sumptuous.

Friends and relatives from nearby villages and towns who knew the news, as well as village heads and headmen, came to congratulate, and Shiziwo was naturally very lively.

Li Yuze sent four yamen runners over. These people were Gu Tou Ling and others. From surveying the mountain to visiting his home several times later, they were old acquaintances. The county magistrate asked them to accompany Lin Xijin to inspect various towns and villages. They were very happy and felt that they had got a great job.

Xihui, Xinfeng, Xingcheng and Xiaowen also wanted to go along, and Lin Xijin agreed.

As the saying goes, "Reading ten thousand books is like traveling ten thousand miles." After reading to a certain extent, you should also go out of school, travel, participate in practice, and gain knowledge. Otherwise, you will be a nerd who only knows how to read books.

Several people each carried the backpack that Lin Xijin gave them, which contained notes, charcoal pencils, drinking water, and various snacks. They did not take the carriage, but set off one by one on horseback.

The yamen runners were envious when they saw the simple backpacks of several people and then looked at their own bags. Every time they stopped to rest, they couldn't keep their eyes open. They wanted to ask for them but felt embarrassed. In the end, Lin Xijin couldn't bear it anymore and gave one to each of them the next day.

The secret guards have always been used as bodyguards in Lin Xijin's home. Lin Xijin simply changed their names to East, South, West and North. Lin Dong and Lin Nan followed along, naturally carrying backpacks designed by Lin Xijin.

Qingyuan County has six towns under its jurisdiction. In addition to Qing'an Town, where Shiziwo is located, there are Qinghui Town, Qinglin Town, Qingtang Town, Qingtian Town, and Qingping Town. Lin Xijin is more familiar with Qing'an Town, so there is no need to investigate further, so he went straight to the other five towns.

The team spent five days visiting five towns and investigating their basic conditions.

After sending away the four yamen runners who accompanied them on the inspection, the siblings returned to Shiziwo. Lin Xijin allowed the boys to speak freely and express their ideas.

"The towns of Qinghui and Qinglin are similar to our Qing'an Town. They have many mountains and plenty of land. They can grow medicinal herbs, fruit trees, corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes just like we do in Shiziwo." Xihui spoke first.

"Qingtang Town is rich in water resources, and we can vigorously develop aquaculture and grow rice." Xinfeng is also very insightful.

"Qingtian Town has many paddy fields and flat lands, which are suitable for growing rice, corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes." Xingcheng is not to be outdone.

"Qingping Town has many hills and mountains, where we can grow a variety of tea, medicinal herbs and fruit trees." Xiaowen also expressed his thoughts.

After listening to the boys' analysis, Lin Xijin applauded them, affirmed their ideas, and then gave them a day to write an analysis report and submit it.

Lin Xijin also wrote a feasibility analysis report on economic and industrial development, and showed it to a few boys after he finished writing it. The boys compared it with what they wrote, and they were immediately ashamed.

Taking her report, Lin Xijin went to the county government to find Li Yuze. It was not her initiative, but Murong Xu conveyed the emperor's will before she returned home. The reason why the emperor awarded Qingyuan County to her as a fiefdom was to give her the greatest autonomy to develop economic industries and find a feasible development model to pave the way for the revitalization of the entire dynasty!

So, she has no choice but to work hard, and it is still a long way to go before she can enjoy a leisurely retirement.

However, as a modern time traveler who stood on the shoulders of giants and had accumulated wisdom for thousands of years, these were not difficult for her. Moreover, the silver bills and gold she had looted from the Third Prince's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion could be used as start-up capital. This could also be considered robbing the rich to help the poor and doing good deeds.
