In his previous life, Lin Yifeng was tricked by his first love into going abroad, missing the period of rapid development in his homeland.

He finally managed to amass a fortune of hundreds of...

Chapter 441 To Get Rich, Build Roads First

Lin Yifeng rested at home for two days on the third and fourth days of the Lunar New Year. On the fifth day, he drove to Shuiyun Town.

After making the phone call, Sun Zhouzheng was smiling at Lin Yifeng downstairs in a residential building in Shuiyun Town. Upon meeting him, he greeted him politely and repeatedly.

"Teacher Lin! It's been a long time!"

"Look at you! What kind of gift did you bring to see me?!"

"Hasn't our relationship become distant?"

Lin Yifeng smiled and gestured to Xu Qingyi beside him to bring the milk and eight-treasure porridge. He then followed Sun Zhouzheng into the residential area.

Sun Zhouzheng lives in a family compound.

It's a small two-story building specially built for this area by the Shanyang City government. The courtyard is mainly inhabited by government employees. Apart from the two rows of small two-story buildings in front, the back is a six-story residential area where retired employees of the Shuiyun Town government live.

Wang Xinguo also lives in this community, but he went back to his hometown with his wife for the Spring Festival and is not in Shuiyun Town for the time being.

As for Wang Chengyun, he was a special case. He lived in a self-built house next to the family compound, which was a very luxurious three-story villa.

Since Wang Chengyun was sent to prison, this villa has remained sealed off.

Lin Yifeng glanced at it as he passed by and saw that many of the windows had been smashed with stones.

Sun Zhou smiled and led Lin Yifeng into the house.

The interior wasn't particularly fancy; Sun Zhouzheng hadn't even laid floor tiles, just poured cement. However, the house had everything one could need, including a television and a radio.

After Xu Qingyi and Lin Yifeng sat down inside, Sun Zhouzheng warmly invited his wife to make tea for them.

As Sun Zhouzheng's bedmate, he had naturally heard of Lin Yifeng's great name.

When they first met Lin Yifeng, his family did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Lin Yifeng got straight to the point.

"Mayor Sun, I've come to you mainly to discuss something."

"Just tell me, that's all."

Sun Zhou was smiling as he looked at Lin Yifeng.

Lin Yifeng coughed softly and asked in a low voice.

"I wonder if we have any plans regarding the funding approved by the city this year."

Upon hearing this, Sun Zhouzheng's expression changed drastically.

He looked at Lin Yifeng with an incredulous expression.

But Sun Zhouzheng changed his mind.

That doesn't make sense. Lin Yifeng wouldn't need to be after that little bit of money in their government account.

As the saying goes, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how tight Lin Yifeng's finances are, he is definitely much richer than their town government.

Realizing that Lin Yifeng wasn't there to borrow money, Sun Zhouzheng composed himself.

"Teacher Lin, is there anything you're planning that you need our help with?"

Lin Yifeng smiled.

"Mayor Sun is a smart man."

"I plan to open up the road from our national highway to Shitou Village for him."

"See if there's any surplus in the budget this year; I can sponsor some money."

Upon hearing this, Sun Zhouzheng gasped in shock.

"To get rich, build roads first" has always been the unwavering policy of the higher authorities, but this matter did indeed surprise Sun Zhouzheng.

Even if the goal is to build roads to get rich, given the size of Shuiyun Town, they are not worthy of this plan.

By the time it's their turn, other places will probably have already developed, let alone the small Stone Village.

Sun Zhouzheng thought for a moment and quickly discovered the problem.

As a key poverty-stricken village in the city, Shitou Village was suddenly proposed to be repaired by Lin Yifeng. This made Sun Zhouzheng realize that Lin Yifeng was going to invest in Shitou Village.

"There's free time!"

"There will definitely be some available!"

"Teacher Lin, if you want to work on this plan, you'll have to wait until after the eighth day of the lunar new year so I can report it to my superiors."

"As for road construction..."

Sun Zhouzheng glanced at Lin Yifeng with a small look.

Generally speaking, officials can make money from road construction projects; now it depends on whether Lin Yifeng wants to get involved.

Lin Yifeng understood Sun Zhouzheng's meaning, but since this was a road used in the village, Lin Yifeng was not comfortable letting others do it.

"I'll have someone arrange this."

"I mainly need you to help me with the paperwork."

"Oh, right, there's one more thing."

Sun Zhouzheng nodded repeatedly.

"Teacher Lin, just go ahead and tell me."

Lin Yifeng also mentioned the matter of setting up a junior high school section at Shitou Village Primary School.

Upon hearing this, Sun Zhouzheng also showed a surprised expression.

After all, Stone Village Primary School has only been around for less than two years, and now it's suddenly going to have a junior high school section. This is really too sudden.

Sun Zhouzheng knew this matter was troublesome, so he could only promise Lin Yifeng that he would handle it.

After dealing with these matters, Lin Yifeng breathed a slight sigh of relief.

As for the scenic area, he hasn't mentioned it to Sun Zhouzheng yet. The main reason is that, given the current situation, it's not too late to discuss this matter after the scenic area issue is resolved.

When he returned in the afternoon, Lin Yifeng immediately told Lin Jindong about it.

Lin Yifeng's thinking was simple: if this matter could be accomplished, then the villagers could do it. Many of the villagers were originally workers, so they would definitely be good at road construction.

When the time comes, let Sun Zhouzheng arrange some people to supervise the construction. It's always better for the villagers to earn the money than for outsiders to do so.

Lin Jindong was overjoyed upon hearing the news and immediately went to the village broadcasting room to give advance notice.
