You are my golden finger

Li Yuze took Lin Xijin's report, opened it and read it for a while, and couldn't put it down. He didn't care about entertaining her and read it quickly.

After taking a general look, he sighed and said to Lin Xijin: "You are a man of great talent and strategy. If you were in the court, there would be no place for us men. You are truly a talent for a prime minister!"

"Thank you for your praise, magistrate. But do you think this plan is feasible?"

"The plan is indeed feasible. However, once it is launched, it will require a huge amount of funds. Qingyuan is located in a remote area and is poor and weak. I am afraid it will be difficult to support it! And the subsequent product sales will also be a problem."

"You don't have to worry about the funding, magistrate. Many nobles in the capital have sponsored us, and we can pay them back with the county's tax revenue in the future. If farmers don't have money to buy seedlings, they can also adopt the Shiziwo model, buy on credit first, and pay after the harvest. As long as the farmers produce, we can set up a processing plant and take care of the purchase and sales, so that sales in the future will not be a problem at all. The magistrate only needs to mobilize manpower to help promote, implement, and manage it."

Li Yuze was speechless. Only a fool would refuse such a good thing. After all, the achievements he made were his own. If things continued like this, his official rank would be promoted in no time.

Li Yuze received an order from his superiors to fully cooperate. He immediately assigned ten yamen runners to Lin Xijin and asked them to set up a department on their own and obey Lin Xijin's orders completely.

Gu Yatou, Xiao Gao, and Xiao Tian were also among them, most of them were familiar faces. When these people heard that they were allocated by the county magistrate to set up a special office, and would follow Lin Xijin to do errands in the future, they smiled very foolishly.

Lin Xijin looked at the courtyard where the county magistrate had assigned them to do their work. The courtyard was quite spacious, but the office facilities inside were very simple. There was not even a table, chairs or benches, let alone comfort.

He immediately called Gu Tou and Xiao Gao and asked them to clear out the old office supplies, count the office equipment needed, and buy some tables, chairs, benches, cabinets, tea sets and other items. If there were any ready-made items, they would be purchased immediately, and if there were no ready-made items, they would be ordered. The others rolled up their sleeves and cleaned up immediately.

Lin Xijin also chose a larger room and turned it into a reception room. She also cleared out all the old things in it and asked Gu Tou and Xiao Gao to buy new ones.

The two of them were gone for just over an hour when several trucks of tables, chairs, coffee tables and other items were delivered. The delivery guys put the items one by one in the designated locations, and the office soon took shape. Some items that were not ready would be delivered in two days.

"Oh, Gu Tou, Xiao Gao and the others are so lucky, why didn't they pick me over?" The bailiff who was watching the fun on the side was jealous.

"I want to go too, but I don't have the chance," someone echoed.

Lin Xijin immediately paid the bill to Qian Gutou, and left him 300 taels of silver for office expenses, and another 10 taels of silver for him to lead everyone to have lunch today. Gutou was immediately grateful and tried his best to express his loyalty.

She planned to call back Ye Jinlin and Chuntao to help her manage the situation. Xingwu was now able to handle things on his own, and the affairs of the prefecture could be completely handed over to him.

Lin Xijin plans to launch four plans at the same time: building a medical school in the county, charity schools in each township, road construction and spring planting. There are too many projects and a lot of management manpower is needed.

After instructing Gu Tou to lead a team to Shiziwo and his own farm tomorrow to purchase grain seeds, medicinal herb seedlings, and fruit tree seedlings, Lin Xijin returned to Shiziwo.

"Uncle village head, please inform the folks in the nearby villages and our village that the county government will come to purchase grain seeds, medicinal herb seedlings, and fruit tree seedlings tomorrow. If there are any surpluses, let everyone sell them." Lin Xijin returned to Shiziwo and went to find the village head before entering the house.

"Okay, Jin'er, uncle will go and notify them right away." The village head responded readily.

Then he went to find Uncle Muxiong and Uncle Jian'an and asked them to organize two engineering teams. Uncle Muxiong was responsible for building the school, and Uncle Jian'an was responsible for the road construction. The planting was handed over to Gan Guanshi and Zhang Zhuangtou of the family's planting and breeding group, and they were responsible for organizing people to prepare to provide technical guidance to various towns.

Without further ado, they quickly drew up a list, notified everyone, and formed teams of about 15 people each, ready to go at any time. Uncle Mu Xiong also found Master Lu's team of craftsmen, giving the team more technical support.

Road construction and school building will start from Qing'an Town, while farming and breeding are ready to flourish in all towns and villages.

The next day, Li Yuze and Gu Tou led the team to Shiziwo early in the morning. Lin Xijin entrusted the purchase of seedlings to the head of the village, the clan leader, Gu Tou and Manager Gan, and took Uncle Mu Xiong, Uncle Jian An, Xiao Gao and Xiao Tian to the town to find Mayor Wu to determine the address of the charity school and the routes of the main roads in the town.

"I'm sorry for not welcoming you, my lady and the magistrate. Do you have any advice for me?" Mayor Wu said in a literary manner.

Lin Xijin didn't want to waste time talking to him, so Li Yuze took out an official document signed by the county government and asked him to fully cooperate with Lin Xijin and the craftsmen's team.

When Mayor Wu heard that there was such a good thing as someone helping him achieve political achievements without spending any money, he immediately took out Qing'an Town and the map and helped everyone choose a location and route.

With the introduction of Mayor Wu, Lin Xijin and Li Yuze selected three addresses, and then called Uncle Muxiong and a group of four to inspect the school site. Uncle Jianan, Xiaogao, and Xiaotian surveyed the route under the leadership of the servants sent by Mayor Wu.

The school site was decided when we saw the second place. It was about two miles away from Qing'an Town and covered an area of ​​more than 50 acres. Except for the west side connected to the outside world, the other three sides were surrounded by peaks of various shapes, with lush green trees and chirping birds.

There are three shallow ponds on the ground, which are formed by the water flowing out of the cave at the bottom of the mountain. The scenery is extremely beautiful.

The school was planned to accommodate about 500 people. As they walked, they discussed the layout of the campus and soon determined the layout of the living area, teaching area and sports field.

As for the final design, it was naturally Lin Xijin's job, because everyone thought that the clan school in Shiziwo was very well built, and it was designed by her.

After deciding on the school site, Lin Xijin took Uncle Mu Xiong back to Shiziwo. She had to come up with a design as soon as possible so that she could purchase materials and start the school construction project.

As for Li Yuze, he was hosted by Mayor Wu, but when he said goodbye, he made an appointment with him to go to Qinghui Town for inspection the day after tomorrow.

"Uncle Mu Xiong, tomorrow you should purchase stones and recruit some laborers to build the western wall first. When the design drawings come out the day after tomorrow, you can officially start construction. Try to complete the schools before the end of September."

"No problem. The main works will be done by the craftsmen, and the auxiliary works will be handed over to the laborers. This way, the progress will be faster." Uncle Mu Xiong had been entrusted by Lin Xijin several times, and he was mature, experienced and methodical in his work. He answered with confidence.
