Lin Jinyue reassured her, "No rush, no rush. Typhoons are usually more frequent in the first half of the year. We're not in a hurry. There are still two months until the Lunar New Year. We can build the house after the New Year."

Lin Fugui breathed a long sigh of relief.

Lin Jinyue continued, "The reason my family built a house so early is because I wanted to quickly set an example. If those rich young masters take a liking to this house, you can go and start construction, and you can make a lot of money."

Lin Jinyue remembered something and looked at Wang San and the other twenty people. "You guys, the indenture is for fifteen taels of silver. We'll talk about wages later. Once you've earned fifteen taels, I'll return the indenture to you. You can stay in our village or go somewhere else if you want."

Wang San and the others' eyes lit up.

Regardless of their monthly wages, their lives after arriving in Linjia Village were much better than when they were farmers in their original village.

No one whipped them while they worked. Lin Jinyue had even asked her father to cook extra meat, seafood, and offal, saying that they would be provided with meals during future construction projects.

They thought that being able to eat a good meal every day was already a sign of the host's kindness.

What did Lin Jinyue say?

They still have a chance to regain their freedom!

With Lin Jinyue's words, they started working quickly and efficiently.

A few days ago, Lin Jinyue had Li the blacksmith make a water tank that was connected to the toilet flush. With a press, water would come out and flush down the drain.

That way, you won't have to clean the toilet every day.

Lin Shucheng looked at the toilet with great satisfaction and said happily, "Now that you're not home, we can use it more easily."

Lin Jinyue glanced at the toilet and said with some regret, "It would be great if there were electric lights. There's a silver mirror in the toilet, and it's inconvenient to light candles at night. Also, the water tank has to be carried up every day. It would be much more convenient if there were some other things."

Jiang Yun, who was standing nearby, said, "Be content. We've managed to fix the sewers and build a flush toilet. That's already pretty good."

Lin Shucheng said, "Dad has plenty of strength, I promise I won't let the water tank be empty."

Lin Jinyue then said, "From now on, I'll stay at home and go to the farm. It's more convenient there, so Dad won't get too tired."

These words warmed Lin Shucheng's heart.

It took the villagers three days to finish digging the sewer.

All the able-bodied men in the village who were not working all pitched out to help.

Lin Jinyue also took the opportunity to fix the public toilets this time, and the villagers all came to help without hesitation, as long as they had the time.

The sewer was fixed in three days.

There's also a septic tank, specifically for making fertilizer, but it smells a bit.

However, the villagers didn't mind; they wanted to farm and wished they had more fertilizer.

Nowadays, every household knows the benefits of fertilizer and is eager to make fertilizer.

The construction of houses and public toilets in Yunhe Village is in full swing, and the businesses of several shops in Shawan County are also doing well.

It was just a general store; they'd stocked up on three days' worth of goods and sold them all in half a day.

The variety of goods is also limited.

Every time those who run shops in Shawan County come back, they almost always say, "Er Ya, another customer came to ask when the coconut oil and soap from the general store will be available."

Lin Jinyue hadn't expected that the people of such a small county as Shawan would have such strong purchasing power.

Isn't Lingnan supposed to be a wild and uncivilized place?

The matter also reached the county magistrate.

Ding Ruiming was still curious about what it was that everyone in the city was scrambling to buy.

Upon inquiry, it turned out that Lin Jinyue and her group had caused this incident.

Ding Ruiming then prepared to personally go to Shawan County to see if he could find anything useful for the military camp.

Consider this a token of appreciation from Shawan County to the soldiers.

In the past, Ding Ruiming definitely wouldn't have been able to come up with this money.

Lingnan was indeed a wild and undeveloped place.

But things are different now.

Since Lin Jinyue opened her shop in Shawan County, Gu Shao and his men in the military camp have bought a lot of things from her.

Otherwise, how could they buy so many things by relying solely on the people of Lingnan?

Once Yunheji's reputation spreads, people from Guangcheng and Yunmeng County will come. When they arrive, they will have to pay to dock their boats at the pier, and they will also have to pay to stay at the inn.

Believe it or not, the taxes in the last two months have more than doubled compared to the first half of the year.

Ding Ruiming wanted to achieve political success and benefit the local people, but he was constrained by financial constraints and had been unable to fully realize his ambitions.

For him, Lin Jinyue was his benefactor.

He never expected that such a small shop could generate so much tax revenue.

By the time Ding Ruiming arrived at Lin Jinyue's place, it was already afternoon.

Upon arrival, Ding Ruiming was completely stunned.

He hadn't been here long, yet he saw that tall buildings had sprung up from the ground and were even secured with bamboo.

And there are pigsties and rabbit sheds that are being built...

Ding Ruiming was dressed casually today, and everyone in the village was in a hurry, so no one noticed that the county magistrate had arrived.

Ding Ruiming looked around and walked to a slightly higher place before he could figure out the secrets of this small village.

It seems that every area has been assigned a location: living quarters, vegetable gardens, and even workshops further away. Everything has been arranged.

This isn't the case in ordinary villages.

Last time I came, there was already a school and a clinic. This time, they even set up a temporary bamboo hut, saying it was an adult school.

Ding Ruiming was always amazed when he came; each time it was completely different from the last.

It's hard to imagine that this group of people are refugees from the north. Just two months ago, they were dressed in rags and almost got into a fight with Chen Dawei over a piece of land.
