Chapter 193 Meeting a Close Friend



"Mrs. Lu really didn't suffer any loss at all."

Feng Zixuan has already agreed to Su Sijin's "expectation".

Su Sijin smiled triumphantly and exchanged false pleasantries with Feng Zixuan, "Well, I would like to thank you, Master Feng, in advance. I will send the workers' wages to you in the future."

The original plan was to use the work-for-relief method to allow the villagers to earn their own housing, but unexpectedly, a "Cheng Yaojin" would appear halfway.

The biggest expense of the dock is the workers' wages. Now that Ganzhou Prefecture helps pay the bulk of the expenses, it is the best thing for Su Sijin.

After all, you don’t have to spend money like water, although it can come back in other forms in the end.

But since the local government is willing to spend money to help solve the problem, doesn’t it reflect the close relationship between officials and the people?

Since they were talking about work-for-relief, Su Sijin explained to Feng Zixuan the significance of work-for-relief.

As the highest-ranking local official in Ganzhou Prefecture, Feng Zixuan was in charge of implementing the work-for-relief policy. If used properly, it would achieve twice the result with half the effort.

After Su Sijin finished talking about the benefits of work-for-relief, she analyzed the immediate benefits without waiting for Feng Zixuan to express his opinion.

"Meijiang Village is the first experimental base for 'work-for-relief'. Therefore, the success of Meijiang Village will set a precedent for the transformation of Ganzhou Prefecture."

This reason was not enough to move Feng Zixuan, Su Sijin continued to increase the weight of "analysis",

"In the future, whether it's building roads, housing, or resettling displaced people, work-for-relief can play an optimal role."

"The refugees have jobs, they get paid, and their wives and children can be supported. Why should they worry about causing chaos in Ganzhou Prefecture again?"

"Now that refugees have earned their wages, do they need to buy land and build houses? Does this further promote housing development?"

Su Sijin paused for a moment and looked at Feng Zixuan's expression. She didn't need to say anything more. He had been in the officialdom for many years, and after listening to her words, he would be able to open up his Ren and Du meridians.

But in the end, Su Sijin couldn't help showing off her intelligence and gave Feng Zixuan a strong medicine to press the Dinghai Shenzhen.

"The benefits of work-for-relief will surely be expanded to various fields. As time goes by, will Ganzhou Prefecture, the southernmost part of Lingnan, still be the poorest place in Dai Viet?"

Moreover, the government's willingness to pay the workers' wages is the best thing for the villagers of Meijiang Village.

"Lord Feng is a smart man, and now he is the top official in Ganzhou Prefecture. You just need to put in the effort and you will surely build Ganzhou Prefecture into a prosperous place that everyone pursues and yearns for."

Anyway, as long as the government is willing to take the lead in implementing work-for-relief, Ganzhou Prefecture will be more convenient, prosperous and wealthy than the capital in the future.

Su Sijin showed a look of confidence that made Feng Zixuan convinced.

For Feng Zixuan, he left the protection of his family and came to this remote place just to realize his ambitions and achieve some decent results to show that person.

He left the capital just to prove to that man that he left him, his family, and all the troubles so that he could go back one day and fight with him for the right to speak.

Fighting for the right to speak in the Feng family is also a way to gain face for the mother's family.

He came to Lingnan with such ambitions. Here he abandoned everything he had in the past and got rid of his previous advantages. He just regarded himself as a seventh-rank official, wholeheartedly serving the people.

During his term of office, Ningdu County will surely get rid of poverty under his governance and lead the people to no longer go hungry.

However, seven years have passed. He has been in Ningdu County for seven years, and everything has gone wrong and he has encountered obstacles everywhere. His identity here is like a helpless duckweed.

Therefore, the wealthy gentry did not buy his account, and his superiors rejected all his requests. It turned out that apart from his identity as a nobleman in the capital, he was nothing and could not accomplish many things.

Even if it is done, it will take several times more effort and time.

Even so, he never wavered in his original wish.

He was conscientious and dedicated in public affairs and the people's demands, and required himself to be dedicated and selfless.

Because his petition fell on deaf ears and the people could not wait any longer, his meager monthly salary was basically spent on the people, but he never complained.

However, without the resources and support to realize his ambitions, his ambitions would ultimately be nothing but fantasies.

Whenever the road ahead was blocked, there would always be another voice asking him whether it was right or wrong for him to abandon everything and come here at all costs, and then return to the capital after achieving success and gaining the right to speak for the Feng family.

Especially recently, regarding the resettlement of refugees and the survival of the villagers in Meijiang Town, Liu Zhen threw the petition into the fire in front of him because of personal grudges.

And told him that as long as Liu Zhen stayed in Ganzhou Prefecture, he would never have a chance to make a name for himself.

Since then, Feng Zixuan has lost all hope, has no goals in life, and no desire to continue serving as an official.

But just when he felt hopeless, the third prince Sima Chengqi, who was rumored to have died in a wildfire, found him.

He told him to come to Meijiang Village to find Lu Shaogong's wife and solve the problem that was bothering him, and he could help him accomplish it with twice the result with half the effort.

Wasn't it rumored that Lu Shaogong died of the plague? Wasn't it rumored that not a single member of the Lu family, including the over a thousand people who were exiled with him, survived the plague in Yuan'an County?

What? Did Lu Shaogong escape with his family?

Or maybe, was the rumor spread by Lu Changgong himself?

He grew up in a world of intrigue and conspiracy, and when he heard the tragic news about the Third Prince and Lu Changgong, he smelled a strong scent of conspiracy.

When the third prince Sima Chengqi stood in front of him, when he learned from the third prince that Lu Changgong was still alive, when he came to Meijiang Village and heard the fort that the people were keen to discuss.

When I saw with my own eyes the bustling, comfortable and busy scenes of Meijiang Village, when I heard Su Sijin's confident explanation, when I witnessed the shock of cement with my own eyes.
