58: Chapter 58: Chu Shuyuan’s Guidance 58: Chapter 58: Chu Shuyuan’s Guidance When Ji Yang started setting up a simple tent, Chu Shuyuan couldn’t help but laugh, saying, “It seems you came well-prepared.”

Ji Yang replied, “You probably aren’t used to the villagers’ houses; I’m not either.

There are plenty of fleas and the like.

Many times, I’ve been woken up by their bites in the middle of the night.

So, this time, I notified everyone to bring these simple tents.”

Chu Shuyuan looked around and indeed saw everyone busy setting up their tents.

This area was specially chosen by Ji Yang.

It had a good terrain and was quite open, allowing a clear view of the starry sky.

“Aren’t you worried they might say you’re not integrating with the people?” Chu Shuyuan asked with a smile.

She was satisfied that Ji Yang had thought of so many things.

“Actually, the villagers don’t really want everyone staying in their homes.

The living conditions aren’t great, and having guests could severely disrupt their lives.”

At that moment, Zhang Feng walked over with a smile, saying, “Leader, Deputy Chief Ji has considered everything well.

Nowadays, we often don’t trouble the villagers and just bring our own tents.”

Zhang Feng liked to show off in front of Chu Shuyuan.

Ji Yang smiled and said, “Indeed, when we stay, we don’t disturb them.

We either pay them or exchange goods when we need their help or want to buy food.

They’re really short on salt; I’ve brought quite a bit, and later, I’ll exchange it for some local goods.”

“You’re quite familiar with these matters.”

“In the past two years, I’ve visited every village more than once.”

Chu Shuyuan praised, “Impressive!”

“Compared to Zhang Feng and his group, I fall short.

The people from their station visit much more often.”

Hearing Ji Yang speak up for him, Zhang Feng’s face lit up more as he said, “It’s all part of the job.”

When Wu Laofu came over, Ji Yang said, “Secretary Wu, how about a bonfire party?

I’ve got plenty of salt, which we can exchange for some food with everyone.

After gathering the food, we can all eat together, what do you think?”

“Deputy Chief Ji is impressive; you even thought of this.

Since that’s the case, I’ll help organize it.

Everyone enjoys such events.”

Ji Yang looked at Chu Shuyuan and said, “People here use these activities for some romantic interactions.

If suitable, they might slip off into the small woods.”

Chu Shuyuan thought of her own outdoor experience with Ji Yang and involuntarily crossed her legs.

When Ji Yang took out the salt, Wu Laofu said, “I also bought a lot this time, but didn’t have enough money; it was really not sufficient.”

Chu Shuyuan saw Wu Laofu leaving to make arrangements and laughed, “You managed to exchange just a bit of salt for such a big event, pretty impressive.”

“It’s all about targeted impact.

Many people here never leave the village year-round.

It’s tough for them to get salt or anything else.

Secretary Wu and others also find it difficult to leave the village.

If it weren’t for being notified in advance this time, I doubt they would have arrived so promptly.

Didn’t you see how tired those two were after climbing the mountain?”

“How did you notify them?”

“I had someone shout from the opposite mountain.

The people here heard and responded.”

“The distance between these two mountains isn’t far at all.”

“Indeed, it’s not far.

Actually, if there were a bridge, many mountain goods could be transported out, which would definitely benefit the area’s development.

However, constructing a bridge would require a significant amount of funds, which the township can’t afford.”

Chu Shuyuan looked at Ji Yang and said, “Think bigger.

As long as it brings results, spending money is necessary.

Don’t worry about this; I’ll handle it.

We’ll build a bridge between these two mountains.”

“That’s a lot of money.”

“I took the initiative to take charge here because I had some plans.”

At this moment, Zhang Feng wasn’t present.

Ji Yang whispered, “Is there some big move planned?”

“You’re really astute.

I won’t hide it from you; currently, the province has a plan to fully develop road transportation.

There will be a road passing through here.

It just needs a little modification to build a bridge between these two mountains.”

Ji Yang’s eyes lit up and he asked, “Will it pass through our township?”

“It might not necessarily pass through our township, but we can manage it.

Actually, it would be really good if it passed through here.

Once that road is built, this village will be completely connected to the outside world.

What do you think the next step would be here?”

“If that’s the case, a new rural area could be completely developed and everyone could be relocated centrally.”

“The water source here is quite far, so if we built it, we’d need to find a good location, something convenient for water access.”

This woman indeed had significant influence.

Ji Yang understood even more clearly that for the sake of their achievements, spending some money was willingly done.

Since it was like this, his own proposals probably wouldn’t be of much use.

As if seeing through Ji Yang’s thoughts, Chu Shuyuan said, “The proposal you made about relocating ten thousand people I think is very good.

If it’s successful, to lift ten thousand people out of poverty, can you imagine what a great achievement that would be?”

Ji Yang said, “That’s no small matter.”

“So, right now, don’t talk about that.

First, think everything through here.

Start by finding people from these mountains, then build houses for them and let them experience modern society.

Settle them down.

With one village’s development, you can develop many more.

Eventually, you’ll have created a momentum.”

Some things didn’t need to be spelled out clearly.

Hearing this, Ji Yang understood; he just needed to focus on this task, and the future creations would belong to him.

Chu Shuyuan smiled, “Money is meant to be spent on such investments.

Once you have the funds, you can make all sorts of investments in your area and then you’ll have your achievements.”

These were heartfelt words.

If Chu Shuyuan didn’t see him as one of her own, she would never have spoken like this.

“Big sis, I understand.”

“How will you thank me?”

“Anytime.”

With eyes locked and filled with desire, both understood the other’s intentions.
