Magistrate Deng got up and paced around the group of people.
For the first time, I feel that being exiled to the South Island is actually quite good!
They could do whatever they wanted without anyone restraining them. Although the prefect's mind wasn't on the people's livelihood, Nan County was poor, so he didn't focus on that.
Compared to the imperial court's precarious situation, getting anything done is harder than climbing to heaven. The Ministry of Revenue is short of funds, and various factions are vying for power. Before anything even begins, the first concern is the responsibility...
In comparison, everything you do on this South Island is a plus!
Because we started from scratch. We didn’t have the resources before, but now we have people who don’t even have to pay us. What could be a better situation than this?
But Magistrate Deng, blinded by joy, looked at another person present...
Ultimately, he was the key to success!
After calming himself down, Magistrate Deng sat down and repeatedly said "good" to Ruan Meng before speaking:
"It is already a good deed to help the villagers of Fengjia improve their lives. It is commendable that my younger sister has such far-sightedness and has considered the needs of other villagers."
“If Fengjia Village can develop well and has the ability to help other villages, that would be best if you were willing to help. If you don’t have the ability, we won’t force you; it’s not your responsibility.”
"Regarding this, I want to assure you that I will never again make demands on you after you have achieved success. You've all worked so hard, so I must also fulfill my responsibilities!"
"If you encounter any difficulties, the gates of the county government are always open to you. We can discuss things together!"
Feng Da and Feng Si nodded firmly, their blood boiling as they listened to Ruan Meng's plan.
From now on, even if they run themselves ragged for Fengjia Village, they will never complain of being tired!
As long as the villagers can live a good life, they have suffered for too long!
The Ruan family has the ability and the heart; they will definitely support this family in the future!
Upon hearing Magistrate Deng's words, Ruan Meng smiled slyly; this was exactly what she had been waiting for!
"Sir, since you've said so, then I won't stand on ceremony!"
Magistrate Deng looked around and laughed heartily, "This little fox, have I fallen for his trick?"
Although it was a joke, Ruan Meng was still encouraged to bring it up.
"As I mentioned before, I would like to ask you to help me find skilled farmers and breeders, preferably who can stay in Fengjia Village for three to six months or more. Of course, the conditions will be favorable."
Although, if you ask Sun Chengen, you can do it.
However, the scope and depth of talent discovery by merchants through inquiries and administrative means are different.
The Sun family could only find out by asking around, but the government recorded all the skilled craftsmen by issuing household registers.
Deng Zisong still had old friends in the inland areas, and even if it meant losing face, he would get this done. Magistrate Deng nodded.
Ruan Meng added, "There are also potential obstacles. You already know about Wanjia Village. But I've heard that Wan You is well-acquainted with the prefectural government, so please take note of some of the work ahead of time."
"When things reach a critical point and get blocked by certain people, it will be time-consuming, laborious, and inefficient to try to mediate."
Magistrate Deng nodded again, agreeing with Ruan Meng's reminder.
He will write to the other side as soon as possible, asking old friends to communicate with the commander-in-chief and the prefect of Leizhou to prevent the prefect from interfering and making things difficult to salvage.
After speaking with the county magistrate, Ruan Meng turned to Sun Chengen.
When Sun Chengen is serious about discussing matters, he gives people the impression of being unapproachable.
"Young Master Sun, I also have a few things I need to ask of you."
Sun Chengen nodded calmly.
"First, you will coordinate the provision of seeds, seedlings, and young animals for planting and raising."
“You’ve seen Fengjia Village. It’s not cultivated, so the plants aren’t unusable. But I hope you can find the most suitable seedlings for Nanxian County. They don’t necessarily have to come from the other side of the river. Seedlings from other counties might be more suitable.”
“You and the He family have many shops and channels on the other side of the strait, making investigation and allocation much more convenient.”
"We either don't do it at all, or we grow and breed the best!"
"Young animals, including chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, sheep, cows, etc..."
Just by listening, a gleam appeared on the faces of Magistrate Deng and Feng Da and Feng Si.
However, Sun Chengen let out a mocking snort.
