As soon as Xihua County's immigration policy was released, it quickly spread to all directions, causing quite a stir.
On the contrary, most people from all parties are just watching and few are taking action.
The civil engineering group established by Qiao Xin has been invested in infrastructure construction in full swing!
New houses and workshops sprang up everywhere.
Food, clothing, housing and transportation are always the top priorities of human production! The government approved a large amount of land that is not suitable for farming to build workshops, as well as residential areas built around the workshops!
Not far from the old mill, a dozen large water-powered spinning wheels were erected along the river. The 32 spindles were mainly used for twisting hemp yarn. More than 100 kilograms of hemp yarn can be spun every day, mainly hemp and silk, and not suitable for cotton yarn with less fiber and low tension. One worker can be assigned to each spinning wheel, which greatly saves manpower. It can be imagined that when this batch of water-powered spinning wheels are officially working, it won’t be long before the people of Xihua County can use linen to make clothes!
As for food, the people of Xihua County even less so!
Far more than the people in other areas of Dajing!
The only drawback is the dilapidated road, which has become a stumbling block for Qiao Xin's development here.
After much consideration, Qiao Xin agreed with County Magistrate Fan that the corvée labor in the next few years would focus on road and reservoir construction!
However, there were problems with borrowing people from the Six Departments!
Among the few people sent over, there wasn't even a heavyweight who could support the team!
After all, Fan Yanqiu was a government official, so he could see through the other party's purpose at a glance.
"This is the Six Departments trying to intimidate us!"
Qiao Xin looked at the information in her hand without even raising her head.
I expected it a long time ago. Since they can't oppose Your Majesty, they will naturally do something else! A group of grown men are so narrow-minded. It's really despicable!"
Fan Yanqiu is not without worries: "Whether it is building a reservoir or managing a river, it requires extremely professional talents and we cannot be careless at all.
What’s more, we have to build several bridges in the next few years!”
"Of course I know, how can I joke about such a thing? Since I can't rely on the Ministry of Industry in Dajing, I'll go find help from somewhere else!
Fan Yanqiu understood what Qiao Xin meant early the next morning!
He looked at the fat man standing in front of him, pausing for a few breaths after speaking. He couldn't help but hesitate. Was this guy really the helper the old lady had found? How come he couldn't even speak a sentence clearly?
"I am Wang Miao, and I have come to see you on the orders of the old lady!"
Shunzi, who accompanied him, saw that he was nervous, patted his shoulder, and took a step forward to mix the atmosphere!
"Master Fan, this young master is from the Nanliang Wang family. His father, Wang Bo, was once the Minister of Works and was good at river management. His elder brother, Wang Jing, was once the imperial supervisor of the construction of the Nanliang royal palace.
Young Master Wang Miao once helped local people build bridges and roads in Lingnan. The water conservancy construction of the tea garden in Anhua County was done by Young Master Wang! "
As soon as Shunzi finished speaking, Fan Yanqiu had already stepped out of her chair and stood in front of Wang Miao, looking at him like a treasure.
My god, you can't judge a book by its cover. If you put this plain-looking, stocky, dull, honest, and shy little boy in a crowd, you'd be disgusted if you looked at him for even a second.
He is so capable!
"My Lord, you have come to visit me. Yan Qiu has come to meet you for something. I hope you won't mind!"
Wang Miao's face turned red, and he subconsciously leaned towards Shunzi. Suddenly he realized that this was extremely inappropriate. He twisted his hands and lowered his head and said, "You don't have to be polite, sir. I can't bear it!"
Seeing his reaction, Fan Yanqiu was a little confused.
What does this mean? Are you happy or unhappy?
Seeing him like this, Shunzi chuckled, took him aside, and explained in a low voice, "Mr. Wang's professional skills are beyond doubt, but he is a little socially anxious when it comes to interpersonal communication!"
"Social phobia?"
"Zhi likes to focus on his own affairs, and doesn't like dealing with outsiders. He is afraid of communicating with strangers from the bottom of his heart! The old lady means that Lord Fan should get to know him first and take care of him in the future.
Both father and son were people that the old lady valued very much. As soon as the eldest son Wang Jing got off the carriage, he was taken to be the supervisor of the construction team. Old Master Wang also went to the river. I sent Young Master Wang here to report!"
"That......."
"All expenses will be borne by the Qiao family, but they must be given a public office in the government!"
Fan Yanqiu understood that Qiao Xin was trying to help the Wang family members compete with those people announced. With a public official status, she would be unrestricted everywhere!
"Okay, leave it to me!"
Shunzi then turned around and talked to Wang Miao!
"Young Master Wang, from now on you will follow Master Fan to survey the general situation of Xihua County. After work every day, the government will send a special car to pick you up!"
Wang Miao was at a loss, "I..."
"Don't worry, young master. Your servant will send it to you soon. If you don't want to talk to others directly, you can ask them to convey it.
If anyone dares to bully you, just tell me. The old lady said to focus on water conservancy and repairing the bridge. Don't worry about other things. We have our own family!"
Shunzi settled Wang Miao at the government office, while Qiao Xin comforted Wang Bo and Old Man Wang by the Qing River.
Qiao Xin smiled and said, "Old man, I finally got you here. I have to trouble you again this time!"
"What are you talking about? It is our honor to be able to serve you!"
"This time, I would like to ask you for some advice on how to dredge and manage the Qingshui River. It won't be much, but I found that the Qingshui River floods every eight to ten years from Xihua County to the capital!
