From the day Ning Feng returned home from the capital in glory, everyone in the county knew the eldest son of the Ning family had made something of himself.
Fine clothes, a carriage, attendants: he had spared no expense on appearances.
No one knew he had barely a few taels of silver in his pocket. Even fewer knew he had bound himself to a System: each of the county’s more than twenty thousand residents gave him one tael of silver a day, which he could spend only in the county.
The more people there were, the more money he made each day. If people left, his fortune shrank.
He had to make the county prosperous.
He bought a dilapidated mansion, opened a silk shop, and hosted a three-day feast. The county office laughed at him for being a fool, while the gentry waited for him to fail.
Ning Feng did just one thing: spend money.
He built roads and canals, hired workers, opened schools, and set up workshops.
The rutted road from Jiuli Village to the county seat was repaired, and merchant caravans began arriving more often. Grain prices fell, and ordinary people had money to spare.
Those who had left heard there was work back home and began returning.
Three years later, all of Langzhou knew that Lotus County had produced a “carpenter tycoon.”
Five years later, a censor impeached him for “using commerce to disrupt government, concentrating the wealth of an entire county in one man’s hands.” The emperor ordered him brought to the capital for questioning.
Standing calmly in the Golden Hall, Ning Feng asked, “Your Majesty, do you know how many people lived in Lotus County five years ago?”
“Twenty thousand.”
“And now?”
“One hundred thousand.”
“This commoner is only a carpenter. I know how to build frameworks. Once the framework is in place, the people can thrive on their own. That is a blessing of Your Majesty’s rule.”
The emperor stared at him for a long while, then suddenly smiled. “You carpenter, you’ve built quite a framework.”
That very day, Lotus County was designated a special pilot zone, and Ning Feng was appointed a fifth-rank special commissioner.
When the news reached Lotus County, an old villager squatted on the field ridge, smoking his pipe. “A carpenter becoming an official? That’s something new. But he’s the one who gave us this good life. If he doesn’t take the job, who will?”
The subject matter is interesting, and the writing is good. However, the male protagonist has money but does not know how to use it. He is a bit frustrated and his character is not outstanding. There is too little about family relationships. I like that the joy of the change of the situation of the lower class people is intertwined with the progress of the plot.
Personally, I think it's pretty good, and all the loopholes are being fixed little by little. It's just that it's even less. I finished reading it in an hour with 180,000 words, and I felt unsatisfied. This kind of Wen De Tun can only be read comfortably if it has more words.
It's quite interesting. I like to read this kind of story about building a hometown. Try not to write too many emotional scenes.
It's very interesting. The plot is a bit slow, but the writing is not boring. I want to keep reading. The text looks like it was written by AI, but it is really well written. It is enough to pass the time. The protagonist has brains, means and human touch. I think it will be okay to watch it with a third party.
The writing is okay, the protagonist has a brain, and the plot is not cliche, which is relatively novel.
The writing is very good, the writing is smooth and refreshing, and it is much more beautiful than those with high scores. The writing is very good and worth reading. Tomato Reading is sick. Those books with childish writing can get 8 or more points, but books like this one that may be worth reading have no points. Sooner or later, this broken tomato will be destroyed by his own indulgence.
Quick update! Love it. I finished it in a while.
It's so beautiful, why is it only rated 5.6? Please write more and don't be fooled. What's going on? There hasn't been an update for a week. What's wrong?
The writing is pretty good, but not enough to read. I update it ten times a day.
The writing is simple and smooth, and the storyline is reasonable
