Song Jinshu understood and understood their difficulties.

Fortunately, a number of ruffians and scoundrels had been raided in Jingyang County before, and a lot of food and silver had been seized. If we save a little, we can get by for a while.

But she was worried that something might happen if she delayed, so she felt safer having food and other things in her own hands.

In this era, having food is more important than having money.

"Well then! Let them hurry up!"

Song Jinshu gave a gentle reminder, then asked, "Now that the canal excavation is on track, I can rest assured that Wu Li is there to watch over me!"

"Should we renovate the hot spring villa behind the mountain village?"

Now she is no longer the poor county magistrate who had to spend every penny.

Now that she has the Liu family as her financial backer, she doesn't have to worry about money!

Now that she has secured investment, she naturally has to start work as soon as possible. Once she gets through the crisis in half a year, it will be her time to show her skills!

Lu Ruoyu lowered her head and pondered for a moment, a little hesitant, watching Song Jinshu getting ready to make a move...

Finally, he pursed his lips and said, "Sir, don't be too anxious about the matter of the Hot Spring Villa! Most of the people who need the Hot Spring Villa are children of wealthy and idle families.

You also know that the official road all the way to the hot spring villa is not smooth. These young men have been living a life of luxury since childhood and cannot bear any hardship. It may be difficult to ask them to come here.

Why don't we smooth out the county roads first? This will make it more convenient for the people and for people from other counties to come to the hot spring villa in the future."

If you want to get rich, build roads first!

Song Jinshu hadn't thought of this yet. She nodded without hesitation, "Of course we have to build a road! But I'm afraid the Liu family won't be willing to spend the money!"

After all, their contract only stated that they would invest in a hot spring villa, but did not mention participating in the construction of county roads!

No matter how thick-skinned Song Jinshu was, he was too embarrassed to ask the Liu family for money.

Lu Ruoyu was silent, this was indeed the truth!

He has money but cannot use it privately, and his identity... cannot be known to her.

"It was my subordinate who was thinking of something."

Song Jinshu thought for a moment and came up with a good idea. The hot spring villa has a very broad target audience.

She could do a lot of publicity to attract those who really need the hot spring resort to nourish their bodies.

Then after making money, invest it in road construction.

Things have to be done step by step. You can’t become fat in one bite!

Being down-to-earth is the true meaning of life!

"County Magistrate Lu, please listen to me first. We can do this... then this... you do this..."

The two of them talked in detail for a long time in the study, and the servants passing by saw it all.

There were also yamen runners who witnessed all this and chatted with their colleagues after coming to the front hall to change shifts.

"Big Head! Did you see that just now?"

Big Head was confused and turned his head to look over: "What did you see?"

Li Zi was very disappointed with the idiot. He had a big head for nothing and never pretended to be anything important!

"What else could it be! Our Lord and County Magistrate Lu! Didn't you see them chatting in the study?"

Datou recalled the scene just now and said, "Yes! I saw it! Didn't our master go to see County Magistrate Lu to inquire about county business?"

What's so annoying about this?

Song Jinshu was their county magistrate and the highest-ranking official in Jingyang County.

Moreover, she has turned over a new leaf and is now diligent in her work and loves the people. Big Head must be so happy!

Wu Li noticed his brother while he was digging a canal and recruited him.

Hearing that this was tacitly approved by the adults, Datou was very grateful to Song Jinshu for giving him this job.

Li Zi rolled his eyes at Datou, saying, "He's such a blockhead, he'll never find a wife!"

He looked around and whispered, "Don't you think our Lord and County Magistrate Lu seem to be a good match? And what they say is so speculative! I can hear their laughter from a long way off."

In fact, it was Song Jinshu's laughter while daydreaming...

"Don't talk nonsense! If the adults hear you, I'll pull out your tongue!"

Big Head looked around cautiously, and when he saw that no one was paying attention, he whispered a warning.

Adults' affairs are not something they can discuss casually in private.

Li Zi also reacted and quickly covered his mouth, knowing that he had violated a taboo.

Shen Fenghua heard this conversation in the house, and he held the chess piece in his heart tightly.

Although his face looked calm, the bulging veins in his arms revealed his unstable emotions.

"Humph! This isn't about business! This is about love!"

Why are you hiding from him like this? He won't stop you!

Shen Fenghua suddenly lost interest in playing chess and didn't want to stay here any longer. He left the messy chess game behind and left the county government office.

The back figure looks like he is running away...

In the following days, Song Jinshu and Lu Ruoyu were busy preparing for the hot spring villa and did not notice that Shen Fenghua had been on strike for a long time.

That day, Song Jinshu wanted to find Shen Fenghua to arrange something, but he couldn't find him after looking around.

She had no choice but to ask the yamen runner on duty, "Why can't I see Master Shen? Where is he?"

Datou scratched his head and said hesitantly, "Your Excellency, Chief Secretary Shen hasn't come to the county government office for three days. I don't know where he went!"

"What? You haven't come for three days?" Song Jinshu was surprised.

Although this kid is a bit of a chatterbox, he has never gone on strike, and he hasn't asked her for leave. Could it be that he is sick?

Thinking of this, she became a little restless. Shen Fenghua seemed to have few relatives or friends in Jingyang County. If something really happened, it would be difficult for everyone!

This time, Song Jinshu no longer thought about any official business, but asked the yamen runner Shen Fenghua for his home address.

Then he brought some medicine from home and some candied fruit bought on the street and went to the Shen family's door.

Unexpectedly, it was quite close to her county government office!

It's just that for so many days, if he was sick and didn't want to go to work, why didn't he tell her? It made her worry for no reason.

"Knock knock knock...Master Shen, are you home?" Song Jinshu knocked on the door.

Shen Fenghua had already reached the door and was about to open it, but when he heard her voice, the inexplicable emotion in his heart came back.

He suddenly felt uncomfortable all over and wanted to give Song Jinshu a cold shoulder, so he put down his hand and let the shouting outside go on.

"Master Shen, are you home? I brought you some medicine. Please open the door!"

Song Jinshu shouted, but still no one opened the door. He thought, could it be that he is too sick to get out of bed?

This is amazing!

If something happens to her employees, she won't be able to pay the compensation even if she loses everything!

Not to mention that she knew nothing about Shen Fenghua's true identity. If his family knew that he died here and held her accountable in the future, she would definitely be punished.

Thinking of this, Song Jinshu was no longer worried.

She gritted her teeth, looked at the sturdy door in front of her with a determined look... and turned back to call for help!

What a joke! That door looks very solid. She'd be a fool to throw herself against it.

“Squeak…”

Before Song Jinshu was about to leave, the door behind him opened.
