The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Sha Guanghan said: "My Lord, building this sugar factory is the best way to justify your reputation. Soon the people of Fengying will all know that you are a virtuous official."

Wan Lianxing said, "Whether they are virtuous or not is secondary. The purpose of my setting up a sugar factory is not to clear my name, but to solve the livelihood of the people. Also, the sugar canes cannot be piled up in front of my house. My house has already produced more than enough sugar for two years. The people really have endless energy. Let them send the sugar canes to the sugar factory in the north of the city. Although the sugar factory has not officially started operation, I heard that the sugar canes can be stored for a period of time. Let them carry the sugar canes to exchange for money, and don't honor me with sugar canes every day."

To everyone, what Wan Lianxing said seemed more like a show-off, bragging about how much sugar his family had. In those days, the people of Fengying had never seen sugar at home, and the sweetness they could get was from sugarcane, melons and fruits. It was clearly a humiliation to Wan Lianxing by the people, but Wan Lianxing shamelessly called it filial piety. Although everyone was respectful to him on the surface, they were calling him a beast and a pervert in their hearts.

Yan Qilian said, "Don't worry, Lord. I will bring people to watch at your door tomorrow and will not let anyone put a single piece of sugarcane at your door."

Wan Lianxing said, "You didn't bring anyone with you earlier, and you didn't bring anyone with you later. Now that the sugar factory has been built and sugarcane has become a treasure, have you thought of sending someone to watch over it?"

Yan Qilian knew that his earnest offer was a little late, and it was because Wan Lianxing left a bad impression on him. The people of Fengying wanted to give Wan Lianxing a warning, and he naturally could not stop them. He also wanted to take this opportunity to dampen his arrogance. Otherwise, with Wan Lianxing's unrestrained character, he would definitely be able to do whatever he wanted in Fengying and be lawless.

Wan Lianxing was naturally not someone who could be trifled with. The reason he had endured the insults from the common people for so many days was because he could neither be beaten nor scolded by the common people.

He moved his body, obviously unable to sit still in the chair. "I appreciate County Magistrate Yan's kindness, but once the sugar factory is built, they won't send me sugarcane even if I ask them to. I will seriously consider the matter of building sugar factories in various counties mentioned by other county magistrates and county magistrates."

Wan Lianxing asked the people around him, "What time is it?"

"Just at noon."

Wan Lianxing said: "Then let's get ready to go to the altar."

He didn't want to listen to these people's reports. They were all problems that he knew were difficult to solve. The counties didn't solve such a mess themselves, but came to him who had just taken office. He found it fresh and surprising that there was really no way to do it. How could he wait until the people were forced to leave their homes before thinking of a solution?

But a county magistrate said, "My Lord, although our Qiaochun County has a population of over a thousand, there is a lot of sugar cane. If you build a sugar factory for our county, I will definitely be able to double the population within a year and pay taxes on time."

Wan Lianxing asked, "What's your name?"

"Xu Shixun."

Wan Lianxing said: "Xu Shixun, I have the impression that Qiaochun County has an excellent geographical location. You doubling the population in one year is too little. If you can ensure that the population can double within one year, I will allocate funds for people to build a sugar factory and a sweet potato flour factory for your Qiaochun County."

Xu Shixun said: "As long as the Lord builds a factory for us, I will double the population of Qiaochun County."

Wan Lianxing asked, "What do you want as a guarantee?"

Xu Shixun said: "I'll use my official hat as a guarantee."

Wan Lianxing said, "Words are not enough. Take the pen, ink, paper and inkstone and write down a promise. If you cannot fulfill your promise today, I will definitely cut off your position and dismiss you from office. In this great country of Lang, no one dares to tease me."

The pen, ink, paper and inkstone were all brought in front of Xu Shixun, and Xu Shixun bowed and wrote a military order.

After getting the document, Wan Lianxing read it carefully. This person not only had beautiful handwriting, but most importantly, Wan Lianxing admired his courage. The county magistrate was a seventh-rank official, and even if he was living here, he was better off than the common people. Today, in order to build a factory for Qiaochun County, he dared to use his official hat as a guarantee. Wan Lianxing felt that this person could be used.

Wan Lianxing said to the crowd: "Do you know what it means to be determined to win? Let's learn from Xu Shixun. Only those who have such ambitions can be the parents of the people."

Everyone had already retreated after hearing this. Wan Lianxing looked down on these people in his heart, thinking that none of them could stand up to the wall. He adjusted himself to a comfortable position and said sharply, "They are all cowards. They don't care about the lives of the people just for the sake of their own official hats."

A county magistrate said, "My Lord, I am Huang Shenyuan, the county magistrate of Songchun County. Songchun County is located in the frontier, with the fewest people, so it is difficult to boast. But if you don't build a factory for us, the people will die. By then, no one in the entire Qiaochun County will be able to survive."

Wan Lianxing said, "I know Songchun County. It's quite far from Fengying Film City. It took you several days to get here."

Huang Shenyuan: "My Lord, I have been rushing for two days."

Wan Lianxing asked, "Do you grow sugarcane there?"

Huang Shenyuan: "My Lord, they are everywhere. If you don't believe me, you can ask Captain Sha. He knows Songchun County very well."

Sha Guanghan said, "My Lord, what County Magistrate Huang said is true. There are forests of sugarcane there, and they are extremely sweet. It's a pity that no one eats them. They just grow on the mountain."

Wan Lianxing said, "Since Songchun County has no geographical advantages and the people have no hope of living, I can't just watch Songchun become an empty county town in the future. Fortunately, there are sugarcane trees growing there, and the sugar is extremely sweet. Since Songchun County has such an innate advantage, I will build two factories for Songchun County. County Magistrate Yan, please remember that I have approved their factories."

"Yes, Lord Marquis."

At this time, a man stood up and said, "My Lord, I am Chen Gongxiang, the county magistrate of Mochun County. The situation of Mochun County is very similar to that of Songchun County. Although it does not border the neighboring country, it is sparsely populated and is the most difficult county in the entire Fengying. Most of the people who were demoted here are in our Mochun County. We have a drought and little rain there, and even getting water is a problem."

Wan Lianxing asked, "Do you have sugar cane?"

Chen Gongxiang shouted, "Yes." He was an old man, but he had a very loud voice.

Wan Lianxing asked, "Sugarcane all over the mountains?"

Chen Gongxiang said: "Of course, there are not as many as in other counties, but the main reason is that we have a problem with water."

Wan Lianxing said: "It's not that I don't want to build a factory for you. Building a sugar factory depends on whether you have sugarcane in your area. How can we build it without sugarcane? If you really have no other choice, I will build a sweet potato flour factory for you."

Chen Gongxiang said: "My Lord, apart from the food for the common people, there is no extra sweet potato to make flour."

Wan Lianxing said: "Then I am powerless."

Chen Gongxiang said, "My Lord, I beg you to go to our Mochun County and take a look. We are in a place where no one can help us, even the heavens and the earth."
