You are my golden finger

Chapter 93 Launching the Qingyuan Plan (4)

In just a few days, the site selection and design work for several charity schools had been completed, Uncle Jianan's route planning was also nearing completion, and the members of the breeding and farming team were sent to various towns to guide planting.

All work is proceeding in an orderly manner.

But the money started to flow out. Just the purchase of seedlings for Shiziwo and the villagers in the nearby villages cost several thousand taels, not including Lin Xijin's own family.

Lin Xijin donated her own seedlings. Money goes from the left pocket to the right pocket. This can earn her some reputation and make things easier in the future. Why not do it?

Wages are paid every five days. Craftsmen are paid 30 wen a day, including a lunch. Craftsmen are paid 50 wen a day, including three meals for those living on the construction site, and two meals for those who do not live on the construction site.

The construction of schools and road paving in several towns were carried out almost simultaneously. Uncle Mu Xiong and Master Lu led skilled craftsmen to direct the work, and when it came to the critical links, they concentrated everyone to work together to complete the project, and the project progressed smoothly.

The same approach was adopted for road construction projects. After Uncle Jianan and technical personnel such as Xiaogao and Xiaotian planned the route, they hired local workers to carry out construction. The management was basically handed over to the servants of each township, and Uncle Jianan and his team only patrolled the various places.

But on this day, someone came who was beyond Lin Xijin's expectations.

Lin Xijin was sorting out design drawings in the county government office when Gu Tou came in with a sturdy man.

"Princess Jiahui, the commander of the Jianzhong Commandery of Qinghe Tun, Sun Lingyun, has come to report with two thousand soldiers!" Before she could even ask, she heard Commandant Sun's loud report.

"Who are you?" Lin Xijin was a little confused, not knowing where they came from.

Sun Lingyun took out the dispatch order. It turned out that Sun Lingyun was under the command of General Wu and was usually stationed in Qinghetun, more than a hundred miles away from Qingyuan County. This time he received an order from his superiors to help with the construction of Qingyuan County.

Lin Xijin didn’t know whether this was the work of Murong Xu or General Wu, but no matter what, she was very moved. She was no longer fighting alone, and a warm feeling rose in her heart.

So he discussed with Sun Lingyun the arrangement of the two soldiers and decided to divide them into six teams to go to various routes, and let them be mainly responsible for personnel management and breakthroughs in difficult road construction projects in various towns. In Lin Xijin's view, from ancient times to the present, the appearance of soldiers can play the role of a stabilizing force.

"Captain Sun, I will issue two sets of work clothes to each soldier and take care of their daily food and wages. You can report this to your superiors." Lin Xijin saw that Captain Sun was not wearing work clothes very conveniently, so she decided to give this group of soldiers a batch of camouflage uniforms.

"Yes! Thank you, my lord!" Captain Sun saluted and answered loudly.

So Sun Duwei divided his men into six groups, each led by a captain, and followed the leading officers to various towns. Sun Duwei personally led 500 people to the Qing'an route, which was the most difficult to break through.

Lin Xijin also got busy. She arrived at the house given by Murong Xu in the suburbs and released a batch of simple cooking stoves, various grains, oils, vegetables, meats, tents, beddings, and clothing for 2,000 people. Then she went back to the county government office and asked Ye Jinlin to find a convoy to transport them.

Of course, daily necessities are purchased by special people, and Lin Xijin just replenishes and adjusts them from time to time. After all, the supplies in the towns and villages of Qingyuan County are not very abundant.

Murong Xu and Shangguan Rui became the biggest scapegoats.

After Lin Xijin finished all this, she breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the county government office to continue her work.

The warm spring sun is intoxicating, and the gentle breeze blows across the treetops, bringing some response.

Lin Xijin stood in the abandoned garden with swaying bamboo shadows, listening to Lin Yuze's introduction: "This is the ancestral home of the tyrannical General Cai Zhenwei of the previous dynasty. It is said that his family relied on his status to bully men and women and killed countless people. I heard from the people that this place is often haunted at night, so no one has dared to buy it."

Lin Xijin, who has experience of living in the mountains, looked at the large bamboo forests. Isn't it true that if a slightly stronger wind blows and squeezes the bamboos, wouldn't it make a sound similar to the howling of ghosts and wolves?

But all of this was beyond her consideration. The reason she was here today was to select a site for a medical school. It would be quite appropriate to build a medical school here that integrates teaching, medical treatment, and pharmaceuticals.

Behind the bamboo forest there is only a rocky mountain about 300 meters above sea level. The mountain is covered with shrubs, and the trees at the foot of the mountain provide dense shade and are lush and green.

The residence is a three-story building with a spacious courtyard in front, the size of a football field. The garden behind the courtyard is also spacious, covering more than 100 acres, which is enough to accommodate student dormitories, classrooms, a hospital, and a pharmacy.

The original residence can be renovated, the first courtyard can be used as an outpatient department, and the two courtyards at the back can be used as residences for medical school teachers. As for the student dormitories, classrooms, canteens, inpatient departments, pharmacy, etc., Lin Xijin plans to redo them all and build a medical school that no one in this era can surpass according to modern concepts.

After choosing the location of the medical school, Lin Xijin took Uncle Mu Xiong, Master Lu, Xiao Gao and Xiao Tian to conduct two days of surveying. This was a large-scale project in ancient times, and it had to be well planned.

After the measurements were completed, the overall layout of the medical school had already taken shape in her mind. It only took her a day and a night to finish the design.

When she handed the design drawings to Uncle Mu Xiong and Master Lu, they were both amazed at her speed.

"My lord, you are so fast. Your talent is unmatched!" Master Lu praised sincerely.

"Thank you for your praise, Master Lu. I'll have to work hard on you guys from now on."

"It should, it should."

Lin Xijin gave instructions and returned to Shiziwo in the evening. Uncle Jianan came over and reported on the progress of the road construction.

"The road construction progress in other towns is still good, especially after Captain Sun led the troops to join in. The soldiers worked very hard, and none of the recruited villagers dared to slack off. However, the Qing'an Town route is progressing slowly because rocks need to be excavated at both the entrance and exit."

"Uncle Jianan, don't worry, take your time. I'll go over and take a look tomorrow."
