This is because Changfeng Town was severely damaged by the flood. The prefect specially set aside a piece of land as compensation. One purpose was to build new houses for the people whose houses were damaged, and the other was to develop the economy of Changfeng Town. In recent years, Changfeng Town has been affected by floods and has become the poorest in Tongan County, and its people have also lost a lot of money.
This had a great impact on the prefect's political achievements.
County Magistrate Li said: "After the flood, the prefect allocated a piece of land to Changfeng Town. The land is good, but Changfeng has a sparse population, so resettling the people with the surname Qi has become a problem.
If they gather together, it will seem empty; if they spread out, it will be difficult to manage.”
Li Yingying looked at the map in front of her. How should she describe this piece of land? Actually, it was a large piece of wasteland that had never been cultivated and was too desolate for anyone to live in.
It used to belong to the capital, and officials were responsible for the taxes on the land. The more land one owned, the more taxes one had to pay. County Magistrate Xu had not developed or utilized it for so many years, so this large piece of land must be infertile and not suitable for farming.
Now that it has been allocated to Changfeng, the problem has been passed to County Magistrate Li.
Originally, Changfeng Town was separated from Tong'an by Fule Village, but the prefecture directly incorporated this village into Changfeng Town. Changfeng Town has now become the largest town in Tong'an.
So now Tongan and Changfeng are adjacent to each other. Isn’t this a modern undeveloped town close to the city center?
Li Yingying stared at the empty space and asked, "Do we have much money in Tong'an?"
County Magistrate Li was stunned: "A lot, Tongan is the richest among the counties in Yizhou."
"That's good. Isn't it easy to make money from money?"
"What?" Magistrate Li asked.
"It's nothing. Here is a blueprint of the building. You can ask a craftsman to see if it can be built." Li Yingying took out a few blueprints from her sleeve and handed them to County Magistrate Li.
County Magistrate Li was not at all surprised by this ability to predict the future.
He took it with both hands, looked at the blueprint in his hand that looked like a restaurant and a house, frowned and asked: "What is this?"
"The shopping mall is a multi-story shop that sells everything. It offers a one-stop service for eating, drinking, and having fun."
After a pause, she continued, "Also, after the construction of this cargo building is completed, workers will be hired first, giving priority to those who were affected by the disaster. With this income, the lives of the people will get better and better, and Tongan will also become more and more prosperous."
As she spoke, Li Yingying took out a cement recipe from her sleeve.
"It's impossible to build a multi-story building using only adobe walls. Here's the cement formula. Take it and see if you have any of these ingredients."
County Magistrate Li took it with both hands again. He looked at it and saw that the limestone and clay were not difficult to find. However, he had never heard of iron ore powder. "What is this iron ore powder?"
How do you explain it? Can you say ore?
"It's the stone used for smelting iron." Li Yingying explained vaguely.
Master Xu stood aside and watched Li Yingying take out things one by one. Now that he finally found something he knew, he quickly interrupted, "Sir, isn't it the black stone?"
Li Yingying frowned: "Black Stone?"
Master Xu said: "Black stone is used in iron smelting."
"Is it a lot?" If it is a lot, then cement may have great uses in the future.
County Magistrate Li said, "Anywhere that black stone is produced is controlled by the government. If you want to use it, you need to apply for permission. There is a black stone cave in Yizhou."
"Then this thing can be done. Now all that's left is to find a craftsman."
Magistrate Li did not ask any more questions and went back to his desk to write the application for Black Stone.
Mr. Xu stood aside, his eyes drifting to Li Yingying from time to time. He still didn't know why the Lord listened to the words of a servant, and why she appeared here.
This is something I can only ask privately.
He reported to his father, "Sir, I'll take care of the building blueprints."
Magistrate Li nodded without even looking up, "Go quickly."
Although he didn't know what Fairy Yu was going to do, he had no doubts about what she asked him to do.
After finishing the application, Magistrate Li sent someone to Yizhou. He then turned to Li Yingying and said, "Fairy, I'm going to Qingshi Town today to resolve the rice field issue. Will you come with me?"
County Magistrate Li was very surprised that Li Yingying came today, but he was afraid that he would neglect the fairy. For example, he was afraid that the fairy would be damaged by the sun if she went out in the wind and sun.
Li Yingying's face tightened. "From now on, don't call me fairy, just call me Madam Li. Also, from now on, I'll follow you wherever you go, and you don't have to discuss it with me anymore."
"Yes, yes, yes." County Magistrate Li bowed unconsciously again and called out to the outsiders, "Prepare the carriages and horses to go to Qingshi Town."
