Wang Qiang’s wedding became a milestone in Wangjia Village.

The villagers who had lived on this land for generations had the first time to enjoy such a delicious banquet, the first time to witness the festive and grand wedding ceremony, and the first time to raise a toast with their young master.

All this was seen by the unmarried boys and girls, and was remembered in their hearts. They thought that their future marriages would be similar, that they would go to Xishan to find a job and save some money when the new year came, and that this was the change that the young master had brought to them.

Fu Xiaoguan drank a lot of wine that day. He was very happy and happy that he could bring a better life to these people.

He could not change the fate of the people of the world, but on his own little piece of land, he was doing his best to make their lives better.

Next year...will be even better!

Fu Xiaoguan was very drunk, and Su Mo carried him back to the West Mountain Villa. When he woke up, it was already dawn.

Sitting up from the bed, rubbing his face, thinking about what happened yesterday, Fu Xiaoguan laughed. After getting out of bed, washing, exercising and taking a bath, he called Chuck.

"Please arrange for me to go to Fenglin Mountain. The New Year is coming soon. There are about 50,000 people in and out of Xishan. How are they going to celebrate the New Year? You need to write a plan. Those who have made contributions need to be rewarded. Who should be rewarded? How should they be rewarded? You have to write it all down clearly. Then the road to Fenglin Mountain is open. I originally planned to send some people back, but now I think it won't work because the mining is already going on and the iron smelting will also continue after the New Year. People are needed there the most, so we have to prepare to increase construction efforts in Fenglin Mountain next year. It's winter now, but if it comes to summer, if the accommodation and hygiene are not well maintained, there will be big problems."

"So, these cement bricks and tiles need to be transported to Fenglin Mountain. The extra people there will be used to build houses and workshops next year—blacksmith workshops, large ones. I'm going there this time to firstly check out the terrain and choose a location, and secondly...the next phase of training for the over 2,000 guards will also have to be brought to the mountain."

"That's roughly what I've thought of. Please think about the rest. I may not have considered something carefully. You need to think more carefully."

After Fu Xiaoguan finished giving his instructions, Chunxiu did some simple packing and left Su Jue here to guard the place. Su Mo and Su Rou both followed Fu Xiaoguan to Fenglin Mountain.

…

Fenglin Mountain lies to the west of Yao County, about fifty miles away. At the foot of the mountain lies a small village, and then there's the rolling hills and fields. Previously, Fenglin Mountain was extremely desolate, but since the arrival of twenty to thirty thousand people from the west mountain, the place has become bustling. But as the road deepens, the outside world gradually becomes quieter.

A mountain road that can accommodate two carriages side by side winds its way into the mountains from the foot of the mountain. One side is connected to the official road of Yao County, while the other side goes deep into the mountains.

The next morning, Fu Xiaoguan and his party's carriage entered this new dirt road, then went into the mountains and disappeared into a deciduous bush.

After crossing several mountain ridges and several mountain streams, the carriage finally arrived at the foot of Broken Soul Mountain at the end of the day.

This place seemed like an isolated world. While the outside was deserted, here it was bustling with activity. A constant stream of people streamed in and out of the Broken Soul Mountain mines. From the mountains to the left, the calls of craftsmen excavating the mountain echoed. On the right, in the valley, men were building roads and bridges. When Fu Xiaoguan and his companions disembarked from the carriage, they were met with this bustling scene.

Some people from Xishan passed by and saw Fu Xiaoguan. They were extremely surprised and thought that this seemed to be the young master. But why would the young master come to such a place?

They were extremely suspicious, so they didn't dare to say hello. Some of them ran towards the mine, thinking that Fourth Brother Feng was the one who knew the young master best, so why not ask him to take a look?

Fu Xiaoguan was happy. Looking at those surprised eyes, he also walked towards the mine.

Feng Laosi was in the mines, studying the efficiency of transportation with his fellow craftsmen. When he heard that a young man had arrived who looked very much like the Young Master, he paused for a moment and said, "You're blind! It must be the Young Master. Come with me to meet him."

Ah, is it really the young master who is here?

Many people immediately stopped what they were doing and ran out following Feng Laosi. More and more people heard the news, and the valley suddenly became boiling.

"Young Master? Is that the Young Master you often talk about?" These were the last group of refugees to enter Xishan. They were arranged by Officer Fu to come here. They had never seen the Young Master, but they heard stories about him every day.

"Of course, you don't know. If it weren't for the young master, all of us would have died outside Yao County. Hurry up, or you won't be able to see the young master if you go too late."

These words sounded as if the young master was about to die.

"Shit, we're still late...!"

"Don't worry, since the young master is here, he will definitely check on us."

"You know shit. The last time I went back to Xishan, Grandpa said that the young master was a man of great things. He went to Shangjing and wouldn't spend much time in Xishan in the future."

“…”

Su Rou was puzzled. Looking at the people gathered here in three layers, front, back, left, and right, they were all so excited. This kid really became their adopted parent in their hearts, but they had never seen him do anything great.

Su Mo was already used to it. He stood next to Fu Xiaoguan, but his eyes scanned the crowd vigilantly.

Feng Laosi was so excited. It was indeed the young master. The young master really came to this place!

Fu Xiaoguan also had a bright smile on his face. These were all his people, and they were his real wealth. As long as he had this group of loyal people, he could accomplish something and live a more carefree life in this world.

He clasped his hands together and bowed to all directions, then pressed his hands in the air. Soon, the excited crowd quieted down and there was complete silence.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone!" Fu Xiaoguan said loudly. "I came here today and saw everything that happened here. I must say, Xishan people, you are amazing!"

The crowd was bustling again.

"The young master praised us!"

"Yes, yes, it's worth dying for the young master."

"Young Master is the most remarkable person. Without him, who would know that there is a treasure hidden in this place? Without him, who would be willing to invest so much manpower and financial resources to mine it!"

"I've told you all before, Young Master is truly a living Bodhisattva descended to earth, and you still don't believe it!"

“…”

Fu Xiaoguan waited for a few breaths, pressed his hands again, and the crowd fell silent again.

"I came here for two reasons. The first was to see what this place has become. It's great, it's become very good, and I'm very satisfied! The second reason is that the New Year is approaching, and I miss you all so much that I thought I'd come to see you all. Of course, I came empty-handed. But! When you return to Xishan for the New Year, each of you will receive a big red envelope from me to ensure you have a good year. Of course, I have to leave early because I have something to do in Beijing. I have handed all these matters over to Butler Zhang. I hope you will continue to work hard next year. The development of Xishan cannot do without you, and neither can I, Fu Xiaoguan!"

The crowd grew larger and larger, many people had tears in their eyes, and many people were so excited that they burst into tears.

The young master has always been thinking about us!

The construction of Xishan cannot do without us!

The young master can't live without us either!

"We are all from Xishan! Please rest assured, young master!"

For a moment, the sound was like a rainbow piercing the sun, shaking the sky!
