Chapter 256: Ning Yuanchen arrives in Yun'an County, what a handsome gentleman
Finally, the three buildings were located in the same area, about three miles away from the village.
Each building has an area of 100 mu. Although it is not necessary to build so large at the beginning, what should be reserved must be reserved just in case.
Early the next morning, Chen Jie organized the villagers to start work, and the scene was in full swing.
Chen Zhong was still in charge of this construction. He seemed extremely excited. He did not expect to receive such a large order, and to use a new material to build it.
He gathered all his workers last night. Everyone was very excited when they heard the news, as they all knew that Madam Xiao was generous.
This time they are building together with the villagers of Chenjia Village, so they can't lose face.
Xiao Ying had dozens of tons of cement brought over in advance and loaded them into storage bags, so it wasn't too much trouble.
As for sand, stone, etc., Chen Zhong will be responsible for them, and she only needs to pay the money.
The first thing to be built was the academy, with four buildings planned: one was the teaching hall, two was the residence for teachers and students, three was the dining hall, and four was the training ground.
The school was divided into two courtyards for boys and girls, each with several classrooms and the teacher's office.
The residences for teachers and students are also divided into male and female ones. The teacher has one room for each of them, and the students have one room for four of them. Both have a lot of space.
A kang was also designed inside. Chen Zhong was no stranger to this thing. After all, the kang in Xiao Ying's house was developed by them.
During this period, not only did he fix up his own family, he also made a lot of money outside.
On the contrary, the people in Chenjia Village didn’t know much about it. When they heard about it, they were very curious and thought about getting one for their own home so that they wouldn’t be afraid of the cold in winter.
The canteen was similarly designed, modeled after the one in the soap workshop.
The training ground is for physical exercise, and there is also a Cuju field where people can play in their spare time.
The reason for building so many is that it is considered that not only the villagers will come to study, but people from nearby villages will also be attracted.
Students who live too far away can live directly in the college without having to travel back and forth.
Since there are many workers and construction materials are readily available, Chen Zhong expects it to be completed within half a month.
Then we can build a medical clinic and a martial arts school.
…
Just when everyone in Chenjia Village was working hard, a distinguished guest came from the county.
After half a month, Ning Yuanchen, who had been traveling along the way, finally arrived in Yun'an County!
"Sir, Yun'an County is just ahead."
Not far from the city gate, a luxurious carriage slowed down and the driver gave a warning.
"Um."
A lazy and casual response came from inside. It was Ning Yuanchen.
Ning Yuanchen never compromised himself. The four horses used to pull the carriage were all snow-white and ten feet tall. The carriage was spacious and gorgeous, and could easily accommodate ten people. However, only he and two beautiful maids sat in it.
One massaged his shoulders and the other massaged his legs.
There was not only a low table in the carriage, but also a soft couch for lying down. Ning Yuanchen lay crookedly on the couch, eating grapes in one hand.
"Finally it's here. I'm almost getting moldy."
After eating the last grape, he stood up, stretched, and then opened the car curtain.
When he saw the not very tall and dilapidated city wall, he was slightly stunned.
"Is this Yun'an County? It's such a remote and poor place. My fourth brother is working in a place like this? It's too unfair."
"No, I have to talk to my uncle when I get back and try to transfer my fourth brother back to the capital as soon as possible."
A maid was tidying up his clothes while saying with a smile, "The Fourth Young Master would be very happy if he knew that you were coming to Yun'an County."
"That's why I didn't tell him before I came. I just wanted to give him a surprise."
Ning Yuanchen smiled proudly. He had a good relationship with Ning Yuanze, mainly because they were of similar age.
This time he brought a lot of delicious food and fun things from home, but he was worried that this place was too remote and he couldn't buy them.
"What's going on over there? Why are there so many sheds?"
His eyes suddenly swept over an area not far from the city gate. There were not only many tents there, but also many ragged people who looked like refugees.
He was moved. Could they be refugees from the famine in the north? He didn't expect there would be some here too. He wondered if his fourth brother could handle it.
Sure enough, the driver said, "They must have fled from the north. It seems that things are not peaceful here either."
Ning Yuanchen: "Then we came at the right time. Perhaps we can help Fourth Brother."
If Ning Yuanze can resettle these disaster victims, it will be a great achievement and will be beneficial for his future promotion.
As they were talking, the carriage had passed the inspection and entered the county town. There were two more carriages following behind this one, with a total of more than ten people in the group.
After entering the city, Ning Yuanchen looked at the houses on both sides and sighed again. They were so shabby. They were only slightly better than the slums in Shangjing. He didn't know how his fourth brother got used to it.
I really didn't expect that a woman like Xiao Ying would appear in such a place. By the way, which village does Xiao Ying live in?
Yun'an County was already so dilapidated, wouldn't the village environment be even worse? This made him even more curious.
After asking for directions twice, the group finally arrived at the gate of the county government office.
When the yamen runner at the door heard that the visitor's surname was Ning and that he was looking for the county magistrate, he was suddenly startled. Could it be the county magistrate's family member coming?
I heard that the county magistrate is the son of the current prime minister, so the identity of the person coming this time must be very extraordinary.
Thinking of this, one of the yamen runners hurried in to report, and the other one was also very polite and planned to invite the person in first.
The first to get off the car were the two beautiful maids, who stood on both sides and lifted the curtain with their slender hands.
Ning Yuanchen lifted up his skirt and walked down from the carriage. He was wearing a plain white brocade robe, which made his face look handsome and suave.
He gently waved the folding fan in his hand, his peach blossom eyes were full of affection and smile, and he was graceful, like a handsome and elegant young man.
The bailiff was stunned when he saw his appearance. It was the first time in his life that he had seen such a noble young man from a wealthy family. He could tell at a glance that he had an extraordinary background.
Although the county magistrate also came from the Ning family, he was low-key and unpretentious, and had a refined and bookish air, more like a scholar.
The person in front of him gave him the feeling of being noble and gorgeous. He seemed to have a smiling face and was very approachable, but in fact he was aloof and unattainable.
He even felt a little ashamed of himself and felt embarrassed to stand in front of others.
"Sir, please wait a moment. My master should be out soon."
He stammered.
Ning Yuanchen smiled, his face warm: "How has your master been doing recently?"
The yamen runner was stunned. Was this young man talking to him? And so gentle. He couldn't help but feel flattered.
"In reply to your question, my master is diligent in government affairs and loves the people like his own children. Since coming to Yun'an County, he has done a lot of good things and has won the praise of the people!"
He felt proud when he talked about this. This county magistrate was very different from the previous Qian Qingrong.
One is like the bright moon in the sky, the other is like the smelly dog shit on the ground.
Everyone hopes that Lord Ning can stay here for a few more years.
"Third brother?"
Before Ning Yuanchen could continue asking, he suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from the yamen, full of surprise.
Ning Yuanchen turned around and saw Ning Yuanze striding towards him with a smile on his face.
