That night, Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo drew a new sketch for renovating the county government yard.

After chatting about the situation in Heyang County, the couple exchanged opinions with each other.

After Xiao Dalang finished sorting the album, he went home when it was almost dark.

I was so tired that my back ached, and my whole body was still covered in dust.

His heart is even more miserable. Xiao Hanzheng and his wife are here, and he doesn't know what his future life will be like.

He had just been running rampant in the county town for a short time, and he was about to be suppressed. He felt like crying and felt uncomfortable.

He returned home with a sullen face, and the old lady felt very distressed when she saw him like this.

"Da Lang, what's wrong with you? Are the Zheng'er couple trying to deal with you?"

Xiao Dalang: "..."

He smiled sarcastically, "No, I was just helping Han Zheng find the brochure he wanted to read, and that's why I was delayed."

The old lady felt relieved and said, "That's good."

She couldn't help but scolded: "Your second uncle is also incompetent. He obviously took down the county magistrate, but he can't let you go."

They had always thought that Da Lang would be there, but who would have thought that they would suddenly turn into Xiao Hanzheng.

When the second uncle was mentioned, Xiao Dalang became very angry, "Mistress, it would be great if my second uncle didn't harm me. How could he help me become the county magistrate?"

Then he said what Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo said in front of everyone in the family.

After hearing this, everyone in the old Xiao family was angry.

"That heartless beast, I was wondering why he suddenly became so kind. It turns out he was waiting here."

Mrs. Xiao continued to scold with a dark face, "Even my own nephew will be harmed. No wonder I can't have a child. This beast..."

Xiao Dalang listened to the old lady's scolding and applauded in his heart.

He reminded again, "Nay, Ge Chunru may come to settle a score with us, so we have to be prepared."

The old lady had a stern look on her face, "What's the deal with us?"

Xiao Dalang said: "We took her brother to the mines, and she said in the capital that she wanted to kill our old Xiao family."

He then thought of what Shi Qingluo said, "After we left, Ge Chunru almost emptied the general's palace and used it as a dowry for her sister."

That woman went too far and ruined the Xiao family's things like this.

When Mrs. Xiao heard this, she became even more angry, "That little bitch has given so much subsidies to her mother's family, and yet she has the nerve to settle the score with us."

"If she dares to come, I will slap her to death."

Mr. Wang and Mr. Wu couldn't help but join in the old lady's yelling.

Giving that little girl Ge Chunyi such a large dowry is as uncomfortable as cutting their flesh.

The dissatisfaction I felt towards Ge Chunru had faded a lot since I came to Northern Xinjiang.

Now it's all aroused again.

The next day, Xiao Hanzheng handed the renovation drawings to Xiao Dalang and asked him to help find craftsmen to repair it.

Because the wages paid were quite high and the wages were paid every three days, it was quickly filled with people and the county government office was renovated.

Xiao Hanzheng began to read the booklet Xiao Dalang found.

Shi Qingluo did not follow him to the county government office, but went out for a walk with Xi Rong and others.

If you want to understand a place, you must walk around and understand the people's livelihood.

Even if Nanxi County is not a wealthy county, it is much better than Heyang County.

There are only a few courtyards in the entire county here that barely look okay, and they are built with blue bricks and tiles.

Many houses appear to be in disrepair, and the main shops are concentrated on one street.

Other streets feel very deserted.

The mental outlook of the pedestrians on the road also looked sad, and many of them had patches on their clothes.

There are not many beggars, because everyone's life is not that good, and there is no money or food to give.

After walking around, Xi Rui sighed, "This place is exactly what Xiao Dalang said, it's too poor."

Liang Youxiao sighed, "I also said to see if there were any business opportunities, but after reading it, I knew that there was no chance."

The living conditions of people in the county are not good, so they are not willing to spend money.

If the business he wanted to do in the capital was to be done here, how many people would be willing or able to buy it?

He sighed again, "Qing Luo, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Lao Xiao to accumulate merits after being assigned to such a poor county."

Shi Qingluo didn't think so, "Why is it so difficult to accumulate merit? On the contrary, I think it's easier than going to those wealthy counties in the south of the Yangtze River."

Liang Youxiao asked in confusion: "There is nothing here, how can we do meritorious deeds?"

"Build city walls and dams? That only requires the county government to have money."

Shi Qingluo replied: "Isn't it a good achievement to transform such a poor and backward county into a wealthy county with frequent caravans?"

Liang Youxiao smiled and shook his head: "Of course it counts, but it's easy to say but hard to do."

"Let's not talk about making the county rich. Let's talk about how to make caravans come and go frequently."

Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "Of course I've got something to attract the caravan."

Liang Youxiao asked: "Do you want to build a workshop here?"

Shi Qingluo replied: "It's not me who wants to build the workshop, but the county government."

"If I were to build it, wouldn't it become a competition for profit with the people?"

She was Xiao Hanzheng's wife. When he was the county magistrate, she was not suitable to open a local workshop or do business.

Otherwise, when I return to the capital in the future, I will definitely be caught using this as an excuse.

"And if I were to build it, if I used the money I earned to build roads and build the county town, I wouldn't be taken advantage of."

"If Heyang County wants to develop, it must mainly rely on the talents here."

"This way after we leave in the future, their lives will not become what they were before."

Liang Youxiao thought for a while, "You mean to ask Lao Xiao to open some workshops in the name of the county government, recruit people to work, and use the products in the workshops to attract businessmen to buy things?"

Shi Qingluo nodded, "Yes, after setting up the workshop, many people in Heyang County will be able to find work."

"As long as the items in the workshop can attract businessmen, and the flow of people increases, it will naturally drive local development."

"For example, when people from these caravans come, they always eat, drink and have sex, so the business of restaurants and inns in the county will get better."

"When the whole county becomes lively, people from other poor counties or grasslands will see it and want to move here, which can just fill the problem of empty households."

"Don't you think it's interesting and fulfilling to turn such a poor county into a wealthy county in Beicheng Prefecture?"

They are not short of money now, and they can't spend all their monthly dividends, but they are short of reputation and political achievements, so they must work hard to develop this county.

Firstly, the young husband can be promoted because of these political achievements, and secondly, she thinks this is very meaningful.

When you come to this backward world, you always have to do something. It doesn’t matter how big it is, but you can start from what you can do.

After listening to her words, Liang Youxiao couldn't help but think.

He was born well and has always had smooth sailing, so when he sees the county like this, he will find it difficult to take stock and can't help but have a retreat mentality.

But when Shi Qing said it, it seemed to become a challenging and meaningful thing.
