Chapter 194 The Future is Promising

Li Zhong asked Qiao Xin and representatives from the Gao and Sun families.

"Do you have anyone to recommend?"

Qiao Xin shook her head and said, "My family will not participate in the selection of personnel this time. We really can't spare any manpower at home.

But you can rest assured that our family will continue to support the town’s work as always.”

Everyone was quite surprised that the Qiao family did not send anyone to interfere in the management of Laohu Town. They were leaving the opportunity to other families.

While the people from the Gao and Sun families felt relieved, they also admired Qiao Xin's magnanimous style.

Ask yourself, if it were them, and they now have the initiative, they probably wouldn't be able to give up the benefits they have obtained without a second thought so easily!

The villagers felt relieved when they heard that although the Qiao family would not send anyone, they would continue to support the town's activities.

They didn't have much contact with the Gao family and the Sun family, but they could trust the Qiao family's way of doing things wholeheartedly.

From the old lady taking everyone hunting to improve the food, to the Qiao family not deducting wages from their workers, magnanimity and fairness were revealed everywhere.

Moreover, when they are in a high position, they still treat everyone as human beings! There is no need to worry about the possibility of turning against you once you gain power.

There was an honest man who shouted directly: "We all have no objection. As long as the Qiao family is there, we are like a widow giving birth - we have a foundation!"

Liang Shengming and students: Poof!

He really couldn't help laughing out loud. Why didn't he realize these villagers were so funny before?

Qiao Xin: “….”

What kind of adjective is this? It sounds weird coming from a grown man. I'd better not use it again.

“Since you all understand, I won’t say much. Once we have discussed the specific details, we will put them into a written document and post them on the bulletin board.

By then everyone will be able to see it and offer suggestions on anything that is not in line with reality.

We have a half-month correction period, so we should try to plan everything in advance and implement the ancestral hall and school as soon as possible."

Fan Jihuai, Li Zhong and Qiao Xin have worked together many times and have some understanding of her style of doing things.

Qiao Xin never fights a battle without confidence. Once she proposes a plan, it must have been planned out in her mind a long time ago.

"Where should this ancestral hall be built? Does the old lady have any good suggestions?"

Qiao Xin pointed to a place on the spot, which was an abandoned Taoist temple not far from Qingyang Academy.

In the past, when the incense was at its peak, there were crowds of people coming and going.

But with the decline of Laohu Town, the Taoist temple's master and disciples traveled around one day and disappeared, and the place began to fall into disrepair.

But no matter how dilapidated it is, the foundation is good, and all the necessary gods are still there.

At that time, they only need to renovate and expand the original site, which will be much more cost-effective than choosing a new site and starting all over again!

Strictly speaking, the ancestral hall in Qiao Xin's mind is not the solemn and dignified place like the aristocratic families of this era.

She prefers modern Taoist temples that worship heroes.

Whether you are a local or an outsider, in your spare time, you would like to burn some incense to pay tribute to your ancestors and the sages and heroes of Laohu Town.

As long as you are pious, you don’t have to be bound by anything!

Civilian heroes can also be worshipped and admired by the world.

Of course, Qiao Xin would definitely not say this out loud. She just told Fan Jihuai that they chose that place because of the limited budget and there was no need to re-expropriate land and occupy the villagers' land space!

Secondly, it is to rebuild a spiritual place for the villagers.

Fan Jihuai came here today with a request, and Qiao Xin knew it very well but did not reject his request. She was looking for a chance to repay him, so she did not hesitate when she heard his words and approved the note on the spot.

The foreign shopkeepers and Liang Shengming's master and apprentice present were stunned by this quick and efficient style of doing things!

It was the first time for them to see the government work so efficiently.

You have to know that as the shopkeepers of various prefectures, they have to deal with government offices in many places.

In the past, when they went to the government office to do work for their boss, they were treated like the King of Hell every time. The little devils had to serve them first, saying nice words for free and giving benefits to everyone they met.

That's it. It also depends on whether the person doing the work is in a good mood that day. If you are unlucky, even if you say nice things and give the gifts, as long as you don't have a background, they will still block you for a day or two.

When asked, they just ask me to wait and find all kinds of excuses.

Ask again, it’s the rules!

They can't bring out their master every time they do something, right?

That's so embarrassing!

How can you compare to the excitement of playing gongs and drums in front of each other and beating the boards on the spot?

Although Liang Shengming and his apprentice both came from extraordinary backgrounds and often dealt with government officials, they could not say that they would be able to meet such efficient local officials when they went out to do business!

Those who are in a higher position than them always want to put on airs.

Those who are lower in status than them always have to drag it out for a day or half a day in order to build relationships with them, and try to get close to them!

Liang Shengming's favorable impression of Laohu Town grew again and again, and at this moment he couldn't help but clap his hands and smile.

"Today, it's really better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. Just based on the actions of the mayor and the county magistrate, Qingyang Academy is worth our anticipation!"

"Sir, the villagers and the government all follow the Qiao family's lead.

If this continues, the Qiao family will have total control over this place. Is this a good thing?"

The one who asked this question was Zhang Zheng, the youngest son of the Imperial Censor family! Now he was traveling around as a student with Liang Shengming.

“I don’t think so. The Qiao family did not participate in the formation of the town government staff, but cooperated with the government in the resettlement of refugees and took the initiative to give the benefits to other people. This is a real benefit.

If I were an ordinary citizen or the local county magistrate, I would also have good relations with them.

The Qiao family's status is there now. Even if they do nothing, the local government cannot ignore their opinions. "

Liang Shengming did not refute his disciple, but expressed his own thoughts.

"Whether it's good or bad, can't everyone tell it with their own eyes?

But please don't listen to rumors and be biased. This is also the reason why your teacher brought you out of Beijing.

Who can't be quite capable if he has sent all three sons to His Majesty and is valued by His Majesty?"
