The original royal hunting grounds and royal villas were completely transformed because of the big move made by Fu Xiaoguan here.
The one thousand soldiers stationed at the entrance of Nanshan no longer stopped anyone from entering Nanshan due to an order from His Majesty. Because His Majesty seemed to have no intention of coming to Nanshan to hunt anymore, and because there were many people coming in and out of Nanshan now, these one thousand guards were useless.
The leader of this guard, Xiaoqiwei Yang Xi, had some free time. In such a cold day, he stayed in the tent and cooked wine with several lieutenants over a charcoal fire.
A carriage drove into Nanshan and stopped at the foot of Nanshan.
Two beautiful girls got out of the carriage. They were naturally Tong Yan and Xue Feifei.
Standing at the foot of the mountain, Tong Yan looked around and saw many people busy working in the flying snowflakes.
There was no trace of the workshop. At the foot of the mountain, there were tents connected together. It was almost noon now, and the faint aroma of food came with the wind.
"These people... live in that tent?"
"That should be the case. After all, this place is newly built and there is no time to build a house yet."
"...Sister, you said it was so cold, they should have stayed in the house to keep warm. Could it be that Fu Xiaoguan forced them to come here and do these things?"
Xue Feifei pondered for a moment, "I don't know about that. How about we go find someone to ask?"
The two walked towards the construction site. It had been almost leveled, and the compacted land had not yet been covered by the heavy snow. Many people were pulling stone rollers to compact the foundation.
Lu Zhaodi is a little girl who is only six years old. She naturally cannot do heavy work. In fact, she can't do any work here. She is building a snowman outside the construction site.
Tong Yan and Xue Feifei walked towards her. Lu Zhaodi turned around and saw, oh, two fairy sisters came!
Tong Yan squatted beside Lu Zhaodi, scooped up a handful of snow, rolled it into a ball, and asked with a smile, "What's your name, little sister?"
"My name is Lü Zhaodi."
"How old is the little sister this year?"
"I'll be seven years old next year."
"Little sister, why is this snowman missing a pair of eyes?"
Lu Zhaodi thought for a moment and said, "I don't know what to use to inlay it so that it looks like the young master's eyes."
"Master? Who is the master?"
Lu Zhaodi turned around and gave Tong Yan a look of contempt, "Master, you don't even know that you are a living Bodhisattva sent by God."
Tong Yan choked, "What's his name?"
"Of course it's Fu Xiaoguan. We all call him Master...Master's eyes are sparkling, brighter than the stars in the sky, so this snowman can't make a pair of eyes like that."
Tong Yan was stunned for a moment, reached out to pat the snowflakes off Lu Zhaodi's body, and sighed: "It's so cold... You should be studying in a warm room."
Lu Zhaodi tilted her head to look at the pretty young lady, and her childish voice rang in Tongyan's ears: "Young Master said that next year, next year we will all be able to live in warm houses. Next year, a school will be built here. Young Master said that even a girl like me will be able to study at this Nanshan School."
Lu Zhaodi spoke very seriously, with unquestionable certainty on her face and her eyes filled with longing for that warm house and Nanshan Academy.
"Aren't you worried that the young master might cheat you?"
Lu Zhaodi frowned, "Sister, you're not as pretty as the young mistress, and you don't speak as nicely as the young mistress. The young master never lies. Everything he says is true! You don't understand!"
After saying this, Lu Zhaodi turned around and left. She was very angry because someone actually dared to question the young master. In her opinion, if she could not beat her, she would have to give her a slap in the face.
Tong Yan was still squatting on the ground, watching the little guy jumping towards the construction site, then she slowly stood up. She had basically agreed with Lu Zhaodi's words in her heart, but she disagreed with the sentence that she was not as pretty as the young lady, and even felt a little disgusted.
I don’t know which young lady Lu Zhaodi is talking about. If I have the chance, I would like to meet her.
The two of them also walked towards the construction site. Perhaps because Lu Zhaodi had said bad things about the two young ladies to her father, Lu Xiaodong put down the work in his hands and walked over.
Now he has been appointed by the young mistress as the manager of this construction site, responsible for the daily arrangements and management of these people. He respects the young master and mistress from the bottom of his heart.
However, it was obvious that these two women were not ordinary people. He did not want to cause trouble for the young master and mistress, so he asked carefully, "I wonder if you two are here to look for someone?"
This place is full of people from the slums. Those who can come here have brought their families with them. Apart from the people delivering vegetables and charcoal every day, there are almost no other people here.
Tong Yan smiled, "I'm not looking for anyone. I heard there's some construction going on here, so my sister and I came to take a look... May I ask your name, brother?"
"Ah, my surname is Lu and my name is Xiaodong. She is my daughter." Lu Zhaodi stood behind her father holding his hand, with some hostility still in her eyes.
"I'm thinking, it's almost New Year's, and Master Fu still lets you work here... Isn't that a bit too much? If you have any complaints, you can talk to me."
Lu Xiaodong restrained his smile and replied sternly, "You are a daughter of a wealthy family, how could you understand the suffering of poor people like us? The young master invested over 100,000 taels of silver here for us, and only then solved the survival problem of tens of thousands of us.
If it weren't for the young master, not many people would have made it through this winter, let alone the Lunar New Year. Now, although we live in tents, we have charcoal fires for warmth, and the dining hall provides minced meat, steamed buns, and rice. These are all free, and the young master pays us our wages every day. We've been here for over twenty days, and not only has no one left, but more people have arrived.
Lu Xiaodong paused. "Young Master once said that this was earned through our hard work. Young Master also said... we will definitely have a beautiful tomorrow. You have no idea what tomorrow will look like."
"Young Master said that tomorrow everyone will have access to education, wages, medical care, care for the elderly, and housing. We firmly believe that everything Young Master said will come true. Miss, please don't tarnish his reputation."
Tong Yan heard these words like a thunderclap. This man really has the world in his heart!
He truly has the lofty ideal of worrying about the world before worrying about himself and being happy about the world before being happy about himself!
Although he held a high position, he did not commit corruption and abuse power to oppress the people as the saint said. Instead, he did things to ensure that the people could live and work in peace and contentment!
Tong Yan suddenly felt a little confused. If Fu Xiaoguan died, would so many people here, so many people in Pingling Quyi, and those refugees in Xishan, these hundreds of thousands of people, and even more people in the future, still have such a beautiful vision?
Should I kill this person or not?
